I am have been living in San Francicso for the past 6 years and have tried countless pho places, but I have to say, this has been my best experience with vermicelli to date.
I will say, I do always get vermicelli instead of pho, but the quality of the meat they use is so far superior to and place in the states it blew my mind. In addition to the great quality meat, the variety of vegetables that they use and the freshness also surpasses previous experiences.
I will say my girl friend had the pho, she has grown up on pho, and would give it a four star rating. She says the meat was better quality, but she has a hard time rating anything five stars that does not beat her mom's home cooking or the pho in Vietnam.
Happy eating!
