Tin Vietnamese Cuisine

Before opening Mau in 2012, co-conspirator Hung Dang was busy with his first love, Tin, and the space here is just as inviting as his second restaurant: red accent wall, flattering lighting and long tables for larger groups. Tin is family-run and specializes in southern-style pho. The broth here is lighter, but no less flavorful, than their Tenderloin contemporaries, and comes in versions with poached chicken, rare beef and brisket, or tofu and vegetables. Due to its high-traffic SoMa location, Tin tends to draw a high-tech clientele who, after all, love pho just as much as the rest of us.
