PPQ: Too Too Good

Many of you readers probably have a place that consistently go, at least every few months. Well, PPQ, a Vietnamese restaurant in the Inner Sunset, is the place I have consistently gone for the last five years. In my opinion, they have the best pho I have ever tasted! But, there are many other items that are worth ordering off the menu other than the pho. When I think of or want Vietnamese food, PPQ is the place that comes to mind.

Last night, I went with my father and my sister to PPQ to get our Vietnamese fix. I ordered the Curry Coconut Chicken with Vermicelli Noodle soup ($6.75), it was spicy and had a distinctly coconut flavor. My sister ordered BBQ Beef and Vermicelli ($8.25), which comes with fish sauce and cucumbers. My dad ordered the same, but with pork (their charbroiled pork is fantastic!) Also, we shared the shredded pork spring rolls, which were incredibly fresh and tasty ($6.75).

PPQ can sometimes get crowded. We had to wait around ten minutes. But I am telling you, the food is definitely worth a short wait! PPQ also has a slightly more fancy restaurant in the Richmond that is known for their crab. Both are worth a visit and I am sure you will love Vietnamese food that much more!
