the slipperiest noodle

The perfect remedy for cleaning house on a foggy weekend? San Francisco's best pho from Turtle Tower (this is the Geary Boulevard location in the Richmond.)

The tender beef! The rich and onion-y broth! The wide yet slippery noodles!

Wait a minute, these noodles weren't always this wide. Oh who am I kidding, I love a good noodle and this one slips and slurps in the most satisfying way. I only add a squeeze of lime to brighten the beef-heavy bowl; otherwise, this pho is perfect.


A regular or small-sized bowl (pictured) will set you back less than $7. And Turtle Tower is now issuing loyalty cards that can be linked to your e-mail and smartphone and all manner of that portable technology. Eat ten bowls of pho and get one free! This is a reward that won't take long to earn.

And that extra special something that makes a place so memorable? Turtle Tower has a table for two right in front of the wheelchair-accessible door to the restrooms. Ick and equal-access factors aside, this is pretty funny. It turns out that the entrance to the restroom is just around the corner. But I still wouldn't want to sit there!
