Turtle Tower - Marina

My go to spot when I crave chicken pho!! Turtle Tower Marina is sophisticated, sexy and most importantly, so so delicious!! I came here with my family so it's kid friendly and I've also partied here with my high school girlfriends on a Saturday night! It's a perfect spot for all group sizes and vibes. My oldest loves the Beef Pho and my two little ones enjoy the Chicken Pho Noodle soup. Something about their meal is so heartwarming and filling. The decor is very beautiful, like a fine dining establishment. Very modern and clean. The service is always impeccable! Smiles and warm greetings when we enter every time and quick service when we need it. So excited and happy for this Marina location!

A review from KQED on late night food places in the Bay Area brought me to this new gem in the Marina district. The pho was excellent, with rich broth and fresh ingredients. We tried the basic beef and veggie pho, and both were delicious. The service was great, with friendly staff who offered stories of the restaurant’s origins (i.e. The name Turtle Tower deriving from a landmark in Hanoi.) We spent about $45 after tax and tip for two bowls of pho, which seems standard for dining out in SF these days. Would come back anytime to try other options.

This newest location is a massive glow-up! Their full bar, decor and ambiance make it a perfect spot for dinner and drinks. My absolute favorite rotating must order soup trio are the Pho Tai (rare beef with fresh noodles), Pho Ga (free range chicken with fresh noodles) and Bun Thang (vermicelli soup with fancy pork, chicken and thin slices of egg). Their broth has remained consistent through the years: clear, savory and flavorful. And for hot summer days, go for the banh mi or bun cha (cold vermicelli with grilled meat and fish sauce). Don't forget to finish with the pandan waffles! I'm really hoping they eventually open for late night hours on the weekends like their FiDi location. SF definitely needs more delicious pho options for late-night crowds after hitting up the bar and their newest location would be perfect for that! Welcome to the Marina Turtle Tower!

We had dinner in this restaurant during our 3 days stay in San Francisco. The food was excellent, the choice quite wide. Friendly service and nice location. Prices are also good. Recommended!

This location is stunning! From the moment I walked in, I was wowed by the decor and ambiance; the vibe is classy yet welcoming, making it a great spot for any occasion. The service perfectly matched the atmosphere, as the staff were both friendly and helpful. Of course, the highlight was the food. As a big fan of Hanoi-style phở, I can say that TT does it right: the noodles are silky, the broth is clear and flavorful, and the meat is incredibly fresh. I also really enjoyed the imperial rolls, fresh spring rolls, and bánh mì. And let's not forget the drinks, the cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee) is wonderfully strong and delicious. I love TT pho-eva!
