What People Are Saying About Aux Delices
The Owner
Aux Delices
Owner
Aux Delices was established in 1975 at its Potrero location, across from San Francisco General Hospital by Sinh Luong. The second family-owned restaurant relocated to its present location on Polk Street in 1987 and has been part of the quaint Russian Hill neighborhood ever since. Aux Delices translates as "At the Delights" and is considered French Vietnamese, because Vietnam had been a possession of France from the late 19th century. Vietnamese cuisine is light, crisp and fresh. Chef and Owner Tina Nguyen offers quality dishes that include herbs and spices, such as mint, cilantro, basil,…

In Short – This rose- and cream-colored restaurant features intimate tables and booths, light wood pillars, high windows, and a range of eclectic Vietnamese art. White-tablecloth ambience and service is tempered with friendly neighborhood warmth and reasonable prices. The long menu boasts standout beef and green salads, luscious pho and lemongrass soups, and a healthy array of tender pork, seafood and chicken sautee options with lots of vegetables.

Great neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant
by HaNguyen at Citysearch
A great neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. Try banh xeo, the Vietnamese crepes there! The prices are good and the service is quite good considering it's more of a family neighborhood restaurant.

I have been going here for years. It is consistenly good food with friendly service in a nice place. It is unique as it is a value with a nice ambiance. They are anice family who has been doing this for years. They have done little in the past to advertise and that is the only reason I can think of that it is not crowded on a regular basis.
- Pros: great food and service

The food is good here!
by foodielover at Citysearch
The restaurant moved from Potrero St to this location 19 yrs ago. Altho' they no longer serve my favorite lemon chicken porridge, the food is very good. The chao ga (chicken rice porridge soup) is the same comfort food served at Chinese restaurants with a soupy rice flavor and chunks of chicken. We didn't sample the imperial rolls or appetizer starter but the diners next to us looked like they enjoyed theirs. The garlic noodles were delicious, with just a hint of garlic and not as starchy/saucy tasting as the infamous garlic noodles at Thanh Luong in the Sunset. I especially enjoyed the Ga Chien (crispy fried strips of chicken breasts with a sweet, spicy, garlic sticky sauce, just like the orange chicken at those mall Panda Express. The Bo xao gung va xa (beef sauteed w/ginger/lemongrass was good, but too heavy in sauce and salty. A container of tea for $3.50 was enough for 2. There are lots of restaurants nearby including La Folie, but if you're looking for good Vietnamese food, this place is worth a visit. The waitresses were friendly and cordial.
- Pros: Nice restaurant, good food, friendly wait staff
- Cons: parking
