We got seated immediately. Orders came quickly and servers helpful and pleasant. Beef roll delicious and well flavored. White chicken breast roll very bland The bread is fresh with pickled vegetable and mayo. Very generous size. Báhn mi sandwiches are buy one get one free. We ordered grilled pork bánh mi sandwich and a grilled chicken. Both large and filling. Restaurant is in a shopping center, easy parking. They open till 9:30 at night. This place is well lit. Restrooms are clean and well stocked. Will be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the food was just decent. I got the bun bo hue with pho noodles instead of it's usual rice noodles (got charged an extra dollar for this trade as well). It was flavorful, but it could use more depth with lemongrass and other spices. It was also kind of greasy. I got it with the short rib and while it was good, I feel like it could have been more tender. We also got the rice cup cakes and I would skip this. The rice part was too thick and the sauce could be more flavorful. Overall, service is great and they give you free shrimp chips to start, but the food was just decent. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and seated immediately. Service was fast snd staff pretty pretty friendly. Its a large space, would definitely come back since we often have big group outings. The pho was 8/10. Flavorful and hearty. Sauces are available right at the table, but beware the hoisin comes from unmarked bottle which had a suspect smell. Salted cream cheese iced coffee 10/10. I didnt realize how strong Vietnamese coffee is, kept me awake and alert for a solid 12 hours! Will come back soon to try other items, the Boba selection looked great! read more

I've been here quite a few times and always enjoy. While I do appreciate a good pho I end up getting the BBH every time! I wish it had more of a lemongrass flavor but It's still very good. I've come to realize large just means more broth, not more noodles, so get the small and get extra noods if that's your thing. They have a free ice cream station, and che and waffles, don't sleep on that. I apparently missed the che and waffles so I'll need to go back for that. Last time service was friendly, they forgot about our BBH but she apologized and got it to us soon after, no worries we came with patience. All in all a good meal and I will be back read more

Joe's Pho Original - p1 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

We came here for my cousin's birthday, but if I'm being completely honest, this wouldn't be my go-to spot for pho. I have a very specific pho order--I always get a seafood combination--which Joe's Pho doesn't offer. That said, I'll review them based on what they do have and on their service. One thing I absolutely loved is that they give you shrimp chips at the table. Those are one of my favorite things and something I always look forward to. I also liked that their menu offers a wider variety of items to choose from. I originally wanted the bone marrow pho, but I ended up ordering the combination bánh mì instead. The bánh mì was good, but I only ate about half because we had also ordered the shrimp fresh spring rolls and a new item I hadn't tried before--the salmon fresh spring rolls. I really enjoyed the salmon ones. The shrimp rolls were also good, and I loved their peanut sauce. Honestly, I think I filled myself up on shrimp chips and spring rolls. It didn't help that they were also making pandan waffles as part of their complimentary dessert bar. The restaurant didn't look very crowded since there were quite a few empty tables, but there were a lot of employees walking around. I understand everyone has specific roles and sections, but it still took a very long time for our food to come out. I know hot items take longer to prepare, but they brought out the three bowls of pho first, and my cold bánh mì came a minute or two later. What really bothered me was the way the hot food was served. Servers reached over guests to hand off bowls of hot pho. As someone who has worked in a restaurant, I was always taught never to reach over anyone with hot food--you either go behind them or walk around to the front. They reached over me twice, and I helped because that's the server in me, but what if the bowl had slipped or been dropped? That could have ended badly. We also had to ask another server for water refills, and they said they would let our server know. There was no need to tell us that--just communicate with them. Every time we needed something, it was always "let me find your server." I understand sections, but the restaurant wasn't packed or overly busy. We came on a rainy Thursday. When we were ready for the check, our server was nowhere to be found again. However, there was one server from another section who was constantly walking around. We asked him to find our server because we were ready to leave. It was frustrating that this one server was visible and attentive while ours barely checked on us. We consistently had to flag someone down if we needed anything. It's unfortunate because the food itself was very good. My cousin loved the bone marrow pho. My uncle enjoyed that his pho had a slight spicy kick. The pork chop was very flavorful. The food was solid, but service is a key element of any restaurant experience, and that's where things fell short for us. read more

The pho is the clear standout: a deeply aromatic broth with real depth, clean yet rich, clearly simmered with care rather than rushed. The chicken is tender, portions are generous, and the noodles hold their texture all the way through the bowl. Fresh herbs arrive crisp and plentiful, and the balance of flavors means you don't have to aggressively doctor the soup for it to shine. Beyond pho, the supporting menu items are solid and reliable. Service is functional but minimal. Orders are taken efficiently, food comes out promptly, and mistakes are rare--but warmth and attentiveness are hit or miss. Don't expect much check-in or engagement once your food arrives. It's not unfriendly, just transactional. If you're coming for a quick, satisfying meal, it gets the job done; if you're looking for hospitality-driven service, this isn't that kind of spot. The dining room is clean, bright, and comfortable, with a relaxed, casual vibe that suits the menu well. It feels welcoming without trying too hard, making it equally appropriate for solo lunches, family meals, or casual meetups. Overall, Joe's Pho delivers where it matters most: the food. With excellent broth, dependable execution, and a comfortable setting, it's an easy recommendation for anyone craving quality Vietnamese cuisine in San Leandro. Slightly elevated service would push it into standout territory, but even as is, it remains a strong local favorite worth revisiting. read more

To preface- Joe's Pho used to be my favorite pho spot, but we stopped dining here after that scandal they were involved in a few years ago. Decided to come here recently after we found out that our current fave pho spot was closed that day. We ordered: Special combo pho, regular ($19) - solid; came with a good amount of meat. Could've been hotter. The regular size was pretty big, I couldn't finish all of it. Beef stew noodle soup ($18) - my partner enjoyed it. The large beef chunks were tender. Shrimp spring rolls ($12) - fresh, good. Jasmine milk tea w/ boba ($8) - too sweet; not enough tea flavor; skimped on the boba. Gold Dubai chocolate smoothie/ drink ($9) - not sure what we expected it to taste like but it was more of a chocolate milk w/ a sprinkle of kataifi and a crumb of pistachio. Our server was attentive and friendly. Our water cups stayed filled and at the end of our meal she mentioned free dessert toward the back (soft serve). We shared a small vanilla cone, but it was ok. Joe's Pho didn't really hit the spot for us, drinks were a miss, and we felt like things were on the pricier side. I wasn't sure how to feel about the receipt since it only provides four checkboxes for tipping (18%, 20%, 22%, & 25%) and purposely excludes the line to add your own tip/ total. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was half full yet it took a considerable amount of time for someone to take our order. When the food arrived, it was below average - the chicken in my pho was absurdly overcooked, and our appetizers were heavily oversalted. When it came time to pay and leave, we were confused as no one presented us with a check. We had to go the counter and pay, which is not a big deal but we waited another ten minutes for this restaurant to go to another store and use their credit card reader. And the prices we paid did not match the prices on the menu, we paid significantly more. read more

We ordered the pho, and it was really good. The broth was flavorful, not bland, and very comforting. The serving was generous with lots of meat, which made it totally worth it. Overall, great value for the price. Definitely a good spot if you're craving a satisfying bowl of pho. Would come back again. read more

Used to really enjoy this Joe's Pho location, but our last experience was honestly terrible. We were never greeted when we walked in and eventually had to go up to the register ourselves just to place an order. After waiting over an hour with no food, it genuinely seemed like our order had been forgotten entirely. When we asked about it, instead of apologizing or trying to fix the situation, the staff argued with us and told us we "just needed to wait longer." At that point we told them to just charge us for the drinks and we'd leave. The hospitality and customer service were shockingly rude from start to finish. It's disappointing because we love the Dublin location and have always had great experiences there, but this location has completely lost its charm. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Really good food! I love this place! It's a good plate for the amount of money you paid!

Overall it was okay. This restaurant has a lot more variety of Vietnamese to choose from, which was great! I like that I can try different things besides just pho. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue--it was not what I expected. It did not taste umami and hearty like it's supposed to be. The broth was also super watery...definitely threw me off. I'd give this dish a 2/5 in my opinion. My bf got the beef pho and same thing--it was so watery and lacked the rich umami flavor of the beef broth. On the side we ordered the Hue Style Dumplings which also didn't taste very flavorful. Overall food here was tolerable but not hitting the spot for me unfortunately. Besides that, plenty of seating available and pretty clean. read more

Wow. Huge menu with both classic and hard-to-find items. We started with one Bahnh mi beef sando and one lemongrass tofu vermicelli bowl. Service-- two items arrived at quite different times The tofu: not lightly fried. It's deeply fried. And the oil is either not fresh or not a good type. Too oily tasting! Good approach to lemongrass tofu though with tons of lemongrass and ginger stuffed into slits of the tofu. But there is also a surprise spiciness that I did not like and is not what I experienced in north Vietnam. Perhaps they are adding more jalapeño for California tastes The sauce was terrible. It's just soy sauce. It should be a vinegar sauce type, slightly sweet. Sides of fried taro ( meh) and spring roll ( bulk purchase type?) were unappealing. The beef bahn mi : arrived deconstructed. That's not terrible. More herbs would be nice but pickled veg was plentiful. Soup was ordinary. Bread was toasted. Beef was fine and not gristley but the amount was small All told I'm not impressed enough to return. There is a large vegetarian menu, large overall menu, and lots of seating inside and out. Close to Target. read more

A solid 4 star Vietnamese restaurant in the greater south alameda area. My husband and I visited Joe's pho today for an early dinner. We left satisfied and with a full stomach. Parking: huge lot shared with other businesses. There are plenty of parking spots even on a weekend evening. Ambiance: open, and industrial vibe. A good place to hang out with friends or enjoy a dinner with family. All table seating. Service: average. Our water glasses were full but we were taken to a table near the window when we arrived. The sun was shining right in the area and it was hot. Despite the restaurant being empty at the time and there were other tables in the shade, the waiter seated us at a table in the not so desirable area of the restaurant. Food ordering to arrival time was decent. When my husband asked one of the waiters to clear our pho bowls from the table since we were already done, to make space for the other dishes we ordered, he just walked away. Also, you are expected to walk to the register to pay (not as bad as a waiter shoving the card machine in your face at other places I guess) Food: 4.5/5. We ordered the three kinds hue style dumplings, the filet mignon pho large and the self roll with thin rice paper sheets + grilled chicken. The filet mignon pho had a lot of meat which we really appreciate and the noodles were chewy. They provided us with just the right amount of bean sprouts so we didn't have to waste much of it. Portion size was generous for each dish we ordered. The highlight was the self roll. The grilled chicken was a bit burnt which I hope they will improve in the future but everything was flavorful after it was wrapped and dipped in the sweet fish sauce. I wouldn't order the three kinds hue dumpling appetizer again--it was just ok. We will return again. The self roll and the filet mignon pho is worth the return trip and hopefully, the quality of the pho will stay the same and the grilled chicken will not be burnt next time around. read more

Joe's Pho is my favorite phở joint in the east bay. The service is quick, there is plenty of parking and seating, and the menu is expansive: phở, bún bò huế, cơm tấm, bánh mì... whatever you're craving, Joe's probably has it. There are even enough drink options on the menu that there's basically an in house boba bar you can order from. Each table is served a complimentary plate of bánh phồng tôm (shrimp crackers) which I appreciate, it's the perfect light snack to nibble on while waiting for your meal. The steak here is very tender, probably the only east bay phở restaurant I'd recommend ordering extra steak from. My main gripe with Joe's Pho is how expensive everything is. $20 for a bowl of pho, and some of their boba drinks are $8-9. Because of the prices I don't come as often as I'd like to but it's a great place to take friends and family who are visiting from out of town and don't have the best phở options to choose from. It's pretty much an all in one Vietnamese restaurant that will satisfy and is reliable. read more

Lots of parking as it is a huge parking lot area. The ambiance was chill and casual. Lots of tables. I have gotten pho in the past and BBH and both were very delicious. Broth is flavorful and noodles cooked to par. They give shrimp chips in the beginning as appetizer and they also give some kind of sweet corn at the end of dessert. Probably why the prices here are a bit pricer than other pho places. This time, I got a banh mi cold cut. Love the shirmp paste and all the flavors. My partner got the fried chicken with rice plate. He said the fried chicken was nice and crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. read more

I always come back here for some good bun bo hue. Fast and attentive service, good soup every time, and generous meat portions. :) There's always a good amount of seating when I come. I also love the free (shrimp?) chips they give us! I do this slightly weird thing where I dip my chips in my bbh soup and I am obsessed with doing that. I also like that each individual bowl of soup gets their own veggie bowl! Usually it's shared at pho restaurants but I kind of like that no other hands are grabbing at my basil and bean sprouts. :) I will be back (& I always do end up coming back!) read more

Called in 40 mins ahead of pick up to place a pork chop rice plate order. Was told over the phone that it would take 10 minutes. Arrived and paid. Order was never sent to kitchen because I was told 10 more minutes after I asked how much longer since I wasn't given my food right after I paid. Wasn't even offered an apology or discount for their error. Meat was tougher than before in texture, would not recommend this place anymore. Sent an email to bring to management attention and was ignored. Will not be coming here anymore. read more

Review is only for the bahn mi. Ordered 2 to go, didn't realize they have a buy one get one free special. So of course that was a great surprise. Took less than 10min to be ready. Bread super soft and meat well marinated and not dry at all. Plenty of veggies stuffed in and even came with its own spicy sauce which was chef's kiss. Took these over to the giants game and will be going back to try other food offered. read more

Had such a great experience here! We sat on the outdoor patio, which was super sunny and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed lunch. The staff were really friendly and didn't mind at all that we brought our small dog. The matcha latte was one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had at a pho restaurant, with many other selections to choose from if you are not a matcha person. The food was amazing. The pho came out piping hot and flavorful, packed with fresh herbs and tender meat. We also ordered the beef stew noodle soup, and it was rich, hearty, and perfect for a chilly day. Portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. They even offer a free dessert section with an ice cream machine, toppings, and mini waffles. Overall, great service, great vibes, and delicious food. Definitely one of my new favorite spots and bonus points for being dog-friendly! Will absolutely be coming back. read more

I am a long time customer at Joe's pho. The price is a bit more than other pho restaurants but due to the big portion and how flavor-able their soups are, I don't mind. I was attracted by the picture in the menu, but I was so disappointed. It only has 2 small abalone, one crab meat, one tofu. There is a big discrepancy between the picture and the real thing. Also, the portion is also way less than before. I'm still hungry after I finished the whole thing while I had to pack 1/3 home before. read more

Terrible experience . Broth wasn't so good, very sweet. Peanut sauce for spring rolls was bad too. I took the spring rolls home as left overs to maybe make my own sauce at home but after reviewing the initial spring rolls , they are terribly wrapped, barely any noodles or veggies - mostly lettuce / greens ... and when i took a piece of basil out of one of the rolls, it had black spots on it. Please review your items before eating ! On top of everything, the older lady with glasses was rude when i asked her for a bag to go. She sternly said to me "I already gave you a bag" (which she did not). Overpriced for poor quality but i still tipped them well. read more

I've been here about 3 times and this is now my go to place for pho! Service is fast and the food is delicious

Came here around 3 pm with my partner to get some lunch. We get seated right away with only 2 other tables occupied. I got the mixed veggie & tofu pho and shared the veggie egg rolls. I usually always order the vermicelli lemongrass tofu bowl and get full halfway because how big the portion is. Today I wanted to try the veggie pho and disappointed in that I should have stayed with my go to order first off, I've been to other pho places locally and I personally recommend House of Pho in Hayward their portions are decent and plentiful without the high prices unlike this place!!! When the soup was set in front of me right away I noticed how much broth I had instead of veggies/tofu& noodles. Literally in the picture I only got 2 small pieces of tofu (uncooked) and a sprinkle of each vegetable. Was there a shortage on the veggies????? Tell me why the lemon grass tofu vermicelli bowl has two THICK BLOCKS OF TOFU AND THIS VEGGIE PHO HAD A SLIVER OF TOFU!!! For the price of almost $17 for the regular size it was so not worth it GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! For what 6 bites I had of my pho it was basically all gone and at that point lost my appetite. For the egg rolls, they tasted a bit with freezer burn and the texture was not enjoyable. Instead of a nice crunch it felt hard to bite and chewy. The sweet chili sauce given couldn't even help with the taste so we both stopped eating it. Interestingly, no one came to ask us about the food especially the lady who grabbed us the check. She saw that we half eaten everything and instead of having some critical thinking or customer service all she did was ask if we wanted a box? Like okay now we really don't want to tip read more

Another great discovery! My family was craving soup, so we decided on pho. Quality/Quantity - Complimentary Shrimp Chips - No flavor, but decent crunch. B3 - Grilled Chicken Vermicelli Salad Bowl - Decent size, but I was able to finish. I did have to ask for more fish sauce. I really need to mix this dish before eating for better flavors. I ate it deconstructed. BM2 - Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Beef Broth - My wife's choice. The chicken was exactly the same as my entree. Decent flavors, good size, decent portions. My wife finished it all. P3 - Filet Mignon Steak & Meatball Pho - My daughter finished the entire bowl. I thought it was a good size?? I guess we were all hungry today. All 3 drinks my daughter brought home and drank. See pictures. When you ask for light or no ice, you get less which is understandable. $0.75 charge for adding boba. Atmosphere - Fairly large location. Family owned. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 10pm. We chose this place today because all their competitors close at 8pm. Service - Good. They checked on us often. And got us everything we asked for. They start by giving us warm hand towels to clean our hands. It would be nice if this was piping hot. Fairly large team working. Loyalty program. Current promotion - $1 milk or Thai tea. One per person. Price - $63; expensive, but that is the cost for good food and service. I think normally this would be two meals for us, but we were starving due to flying back from TN and we were eating dinner so late (actually two hours later with the time change). Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018; we will be regular customers. read more

My mother is obsessed with this place, I tell you. OBSESSED. Her particular devotion stems from their fantastic banh mi. She raves about them, and every time we're nearby, it's her first suggestion. She truly loves the freshness of the ingredients and the perfect balance of flavors and textures that make a great banh mi. As for me, I'm a creature of habit, and I always go for the lemongrass chicken banh mi. It's consistently delicious - the chicken is perfectly marinated with that aromatic lemongrass flavor, and the fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and crispy baguette create a symphony of taste in every bite. It's my go-to comfort food from their menu. read more

First of all, they start you off with a plate of fried shrimp chips! A personal favorite of mine, so bonus points! Secondly, the service here is top notch. The lady taking our order was just the sweetest, and so prompt! The man bussing the tables was hustling, like literally running around the restaurant to bring us water, and whatever else we needed. They never let our water cups run dry, which is MAJOR in my book. So y'all know how Cheesecake Factory has a big ol' menu? So does Joe's Pho! Maybe not to the same extent of CF but still. It's a whole lot. Some items have menu pics, but most don't. They have a lot of uncommon Viet dishes here as well, so this was so great to see. They have your usual suspects, pho, bun bo hue, rice plates, banh mi, etc but for every category, they have various meat/combo options to choose from. BF went with the oxtail combo BBH. This came with hella meat, and all the options were offered in regular or large. Large was definitely large. The bowl was huge, and even the chunks of meat and pork cake were big/thick af. The oxtail was tender, and the broth flavorful. It's not the best BBH we've ever had, but it was decent. They gave us a side of lemon, mint, and cabbage and we asked for extra cilantro. I think the cilantro is key cause after we tossed that in, along with some of the usual condiments (hoisin sauce, chili oil, sriracha) the broth was fire. This ran us about $23, so yea, the price tag is a tad bit high but we did get quality meats. I went with the self roll special! Have y'all seen the banh uot tower that's been going viral in So Cal? NEVER FEAR. Joe's pho is here! I'm pretty sure this spot is gonna blow up once people realize this. I posted it on IG and everybody and their mommas was asking me to put them on. We don't gatekeep here, so make sure you order this dish, at least once! The self roll special comes with either banh uot, which are steamed thin rice noodle sheets, or you can go with banh hoi, which are the woven sheet noodles. GO WITH THE BANH UOT. Your choice of meats are grilled chicken, pork, beef or shrimp. Beef and shrimp have an upcharge. This comes with 10 plates of banh uot, served on a tower! So fun! They gave plenty of meat, but I do wish they had more veggies. The dish came with sliced cucumbers, steamed bean sprouts, pickled daikon and carrots, and mint. Put a little of everything onto each sheet, roll it up, and dip dip dip into the nuoc mam (sweet fish sauce). SO DELICIOUS. I'll be back for this one every time! We also got their banh beo appetizer. They had one that offered a little of everything. If you like chewy, glutinous food, this is for you. Otherwise, it's not super memorable and an easy pass. I personally like this stuff, but I wouldn't get it again here. Their drinks menu was so big and looked so good! Whoever did the menu, big claps to you, cause those drinks looked amazing. However, it was late and I am old so I opted to skip the drinks, but I'm coming back for you guys next time! They have a big parking lot, as they're located in the Lucky's shopping center. The inside is huge with hella seating, and they even have additional outdoor seating with heat lamps if that's your thing. They take CC too! read more
