Is the $100 pho worth it at Sunset’s new Gao Viet Kitchen?
<p>Since 2018, <a href="https://gaokitchen.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Gao Viet Kitchen & Bar</a> has been a San Mateo Vietnamese favorite with long waitlists, no reservations and a 90-minute table limit during peak times. It’s also home to arguably the most expensive bowl of pho: $100 Phozilla with the cheeky menu tagline of “Nobody should spend this much $$ on any bowl of pho.”</p>

<p>Chef Viet Nguyen opened a San Francisco location in the Sunset District in December 2022. The waits, that sense of humor and the Phozilla are here, equalling three regular pho bowls in broth volume, supposedly weighing 5 lbs. </p>
