" A true Vietnamese experience awaits at Larkin Restaurant! The food is incredibly authentic, which is hard to find these days. I was particularly impressed with the personal touch of the staff; they were very accommodating. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat for anyone wanting to enjoy a good bowl of pho! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food definitely hit the spot, my experience wasn't as smooth as I hoped. There was a bit of a wait for my order due to a large group that came in, but I can't fault the food. My chicken pho was still warm and satisfying. If you're willing to be a little patient, it is very much worth the wait. I'll come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Larkin Restaurant has a unique charm. It’s small, with an authentic feel that pulls you in as soon as you step through the door. The shrimp pancakes blew me away; they were crispy and packed with flavor! I also appreciate how they pay attention to details, such as using fresh ingredients and maintaining a clean kitchen. A must-visit for anyone who loves Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Larkin Restaurant and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Authentic Vietnamese food, generous portions, and friendly staff. I had the spicy beef pho that really hit the spot. The atmosphere is cozy but can get busy around lunch. I’ll be back to try the other items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Larkin is truly a hidden treasure in the Tenderloin! I walked in for a quick lunch and ended up enjoying some of the best pho I've had in years. Fresh herbs and a rich broth that hits just right. Plus, pricing is reasonable! I’ll definitely return, though I hope they expand their seating area a bit—it gets crowded during lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here multiple times, and each visit gets better. The food is consistent and the atmosphere feels like a second home. I keep returning for their delicious hu tieu nam vang! The portion sizes are hefty compared to other places. Truly sets the bar high for other Vietnamese eateries in SF! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoy the food at Larkin! The authenticity is remarkable, full of flavor and attention to detail. I’ve tried multiple dishes, and they never disappoint! I will say, the service could be sometimes a bit slow, but it’s worth the wait given the quality of the food. I often recommend this place to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)
