Thankful to my partner for wanting to explore all these spots that I've always passed by but haven't tried! He got the fried fish fillet with rice and they are so generous with the humongous slab of fish!! The fish was fresh, savory and had a nice meat to batter ratio. I got the combo pho and holy smokes, the quality of the broth, quality and quantity of the meats were exceptional. I cannot believe I had been missing out on a gem for such a long time. The food here is very much worth it and it's such a hidden gem in San Leandro. read more

If I was able to give zero stars, I would have. This was our go-to spot for Pho. However, we will not be patronizing this business anymore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our food had just arrived, when a couple with two large dogs came into the restaurant. The dogs were NOT service dogs. The waiter proceeded to seat the couple with their dogs behind my husband and I.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was appalled!! The waiter never asked if we were OK if the couple sat near us. I want to point out that my husband and I are dog lovers and have had dogs for 20 years. I understand what it feels like to love them like family, but at the end of the day they are dogs. The law clearly states: "Under California Health and Safety Code § 114259.5, live animals are strictly prohibited inside the indoor dining or food preparation areas of a restaurant. The only legal exceptions are for official law enforcement dogs and individually trained service dogs. Emotional support animals (ESAs) or companion pets do not qualify under California law or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and are not allowed indoors." So unless you are comfortable with dog hair possibly flying into your food, because you never know when a dog is going to shake, I would advise you NOT to eat here. read more

Have been here so many times over the years and it's so reliable. I always get a large pho tai (they only have large and XL lol). We also like their shrimp spring rolls (comes with 6, about $10) Pros: - extremely fast service. Maybe like 5 minutes or less between the time you order and the time your pho comes out piping hot. - lots of parking available (can be a busy plaza but I've never had any issues finding any) - Decent portions - authentic - [[HIGHLIGHT]]casual vibes, perfect to come in PJs or sweats lol nobody will judge you[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - very generous with the meat - [[HIGHLIGHT]]great for large parties, lots of space[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons: - pho is getting expensive these days but I guess it's not their fault, you can easily leave here with a $40-50 bill for an app and 2 soups. It is what It is these days; sad I will be back lol read more

I'm in this restaurant in numerous amount of times this place is always solid. My secret hidden gem. This restaurant has been around for quite a long time and it's always solid every time I go. The soup is always hot and flavorful and the produce and noodles are always fresh. This spot is locally loved by many. Definitely if you want a fair price for a nice bowl of noodles or some good Vietnamese food come to the spot. There is reason why this restaurant has been in the community for so long quality solid!! read more

Pho An Hoa is a solid choice if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food at a great price. The food is tasty, portions are generous, and the overall value is hard to beat. You really get a satisfying meal without spending a lot. The service is efficient and the food comes out quickly, which is a big plus if you're looking for a casual meal. The staff's demeanor is just okay--not particularly warm or attentive, but perfectly adequate for getting you in and out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a family-run Vietnamese restaurant: simple, no-frills, and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a place you go for the atmosphere, but rather for consistently good food at a reasonable price.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're after a delicious, affordable Vietnamese meal, Pho An Hoa definitely delivers. read more

There isn't a lot of great Vietnamese food in the San Leandro area. I've tried most of the local spots, and when I'm craving pho, my go-to places have been Pho Auntie in Castro Valley or Pho Huong Que and Pho Ao Sen in Oakland. I've passed by Pho An Hoa plenty of times but never stopped in until I saw someone on Reddit recommend it as one of the better options. I came by during weekend lunch and it was pretty busy. I ordered my usual pho chin bo vien, which is pho with brisket and beef balls. I also got a side of scallion oil since I like a richer broth. For takeout, I added an order of eggrolls because a lot of people on Yelp mentioned they were good. I was pleasantly surprised by the pho. The broth has a slightly sweet flavor, the brisket was tender, and the portion size was generous. The eggrolls, though, were disappointing. I'm Vietnamese, so I know what traditional eggrolls should taste like, and these were missing key ingredients like glass noodles, wood ear fungus, and taro. They tasted more like Chinese-style eggrolls filled mostly with cabbage, though at least there was some pork in them. I probably wouldn't order the eggrolls again, but I'll definitely come back for the pho since it's close to home. read more

What an amazing find in San Leandro!!! When I'm not stuck in the 'burbs, I love to explore different restaurants. We found Pho An Hoa on Yelp. Drove to it around 8pm on a Friday night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty packed. Must be good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu definitely had more options than what I'm used to so I ordered something different: GỎI CUỐN TRÁI BƠ or Avocado Spring Rolls: What I love about them is the peanut sauce! So good. CƠM CÁ BÔNG- LAU CHIÊN DÒN: A generous size of perfectly fried crispy sole filet with a side of rice and steamed veggies. Ooh!! So delicious. They had me with the piece of butter on top. I would order this again. HỦ TIẾU BÒ KHO: Beef stew with rice noodles. Flavorful sweet broth. Very filling. Friendly staff. read more

Mediocre. Nothing stands out about this place. The staff are dull. Which isn't a negative thing. Just don't expect a chipper waiter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place wasn't crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast. We ordered the fried chicken wings. They were teeny pieces but good flavor. The beef phó was really good. The Large was a great sized portion. The noodles were clumped together though. The chicken phó was lacking flavor. Disappointing. read more

Been here three times (twice in person and once for takeout) and finally getting around to reviewing this place. Must say their pho is much better than their bun (vermicelli) and that eating in makes all the world of difference. I got their #10 (L) which was generously portioned and well flavored, but I wasn't a huge fan of the well done brisket. When I went back recently for take out, I asked to switch out the well done brisket for the fatty brisket and I think they ended up giving me a #14 instead. Hoping the next time I go back I can get the ttuen#10 combo with the variety of meats and just switch out the well done brisket for the fatty brisket. read more

Pho An Hoa - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Summary of our experience: good food, bad service. Their #10 pho dac biet was really good. It had a generous amount of meat and good broth. Not sure what their #23 is about. It said crispy brisket, but the meat looked the same as the #10. The menu had additional authentic food options. We particularly appreciated how they included pictures and descriptions. Anyway, food aside.. the rest of our experience was pretty meh. It took awhile before anyone took our orders. They also didn't come by again after bringing our food to the table. Payment is done at the front. Weird moment here for us. They didn't like it when we picked up the machine.. but come on it's not like we're going to run off with it or anything. read more

****doordash order**** Ordered the shrimp pho and asked for extra jalapeños and onions. They missed the extra jalapeños and onions and then charged me for it so that was very annoying. The broth came very hot and I appreciated that, but the taste was extremely subpar. There honestly wasn't any taste and I tasted the crispy onions more than I tasted the broth flavor. I wouldn't order from here again, was not my favorite pho I've had and getting charged for something I didn't receive is insane. read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. We came in to eat a late dinner so there was plenty of parking available at the time. Others in the group have eaten here and said the food was always good. There weren't a lot of people in the restaurant as it was after 8 p.m. so we got service right away. We ordered the shrimp spring roll for an appetizer. It was delicious. I ordered the beef stew with egg noodle soup. I brought part of it home as it was too much for me to finish. The beef stew was still delicious when I ate it the next day. Beef noodle soup and grilled pork chop were also ordered. Everyone said their dishes tasted good. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Pho An Hoa - Dinner time - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

I usually pick up from after ordering from grubhub, each time I feel like it is challenging because they are usually rude.... But I keep coming back because i like the food. However this time grubhub told me that it was ready at 6:10, there were 2 ladies that I kept showing them that my order is ready but they kept saying "not yet" I don't understand how this order is saying that it is ready when it is not..... I waited an extra 20 minutes for my order after the fact it said it was ready..... no explanation from anyone, not even "let me check on it" I sat there an extra 20 minutes.... Don't trust the app for grub hub, but also it would be nice if they were kinder about it read more

We ordered pho dac biet and bo kho through DoorDash. The broth was perfect favor! Not salty at all. They gave a lot of beansprout and toppings. There was only large and X-Large size available. They have flat noodle (ho fun), egg noodle, clear noodle for $1.50 substitution. Good quality food. read more

SUPER RACIST. We were paying and the lady in the front with the glasses did not say a word to us the entire time, we even tipped but she looked in disgust, frowned eyebrows entire interaction. they got my order wrong and you can tell they just scraped off the shrimp and put the grilled pork. I am allergic to shrimp btw, which I wasnt too mad about but the lady is so rude and looks like she doesn't want our business. if anyone wants a recommendation, R&D cafe is way better and have great customer service and the food taste way better! only downside is they close Sunday & Monday which is why we came to this place. read more

Tried Pho An Hoa today and went with the Grilled Pork Vermicelli. The pork was grilled nicely, really flavorful with a nice char, and the portion was huge. Definitely didn't leave me hungry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and comfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the sauce that came with the dish was decent but it did the job. Service was pretty fast and friendly. I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food, and overall, this spot hit the mark. The only downside is the price, it's a little on the expensive side for what it is. Still, the quality was solid, and I'd come back to try more from the menu. read more

Pho An Hoa is located in the Floresta Plaza. This is a semi-busy plaza, so parking may be hit or miss, depending on when you come here - there is usually parking, if you park a bit further and walk over. Not much service, employees do not really smile or look like they want to be there. My mom and I stopped by to pick up some dinner - we ordered 2 extra large Combination Beef Noodle Soup, which comes with rare eye round steak, well done brisket, flank, meatball, tendon, & tripe and an extra large Thai Tea. There was not that much meat or noodles like there usually was - definitely not worth the price we paid. The size of the Thai tea and quality of the drink did not justify its price as well, it tasted pretty watered down. read more

The Vietnamese food is very good, we have been coming here awhile, however I got tired of being asked by family members why the service people are also bussing tables, bringing out food and taking out the garbage on the restaurant floor at the same time. Shouldn't it be, for cleanliness that employees who touch food not be required to do other duties at the same time? read more

We order food frequently here to support small business since it's so close to home and also open later than other places. But I'm starting to reconsider coming back We had ordered food to go and it was a large order, THEY GAVE US THE WRONG BILL. And of course it was in Vietnamese so I couldn't understand what it said. But I saw so many extra charges, come to find out they gave us the wrong bill that was about $60 more expensive. I had to question all of the extra charges before they realized it was someone else's' bill. On another occasion we had ordered spring rolls and before biting in I noticed something black.. I looked closer and there was a fly in the food, gross. I had to drive back to exchange it which was an inconvenience but at those prices, didn't want to just waste it. read more

We wanted a quick dinner and our friend recommended this place. The place is very clean and the parking was not a problem. Service was also very fast. We were seated right away and orders were taken immediately. This was my first time and my friend recommended the combination of beef noodles (item 10 on their menu) you can choose a large or XL for the size of the soup. The larger is already big and the portions generous. The combination of beef noodles is very delicious. The soup was not salty and you could taste the beef. The bowl has a lot of meat. You'll never complain about the amount of meat they put on this bowl. The rice noodles are soft and very good also. I never come to this area even though it's only a short ride to our area. I will try to come here more often and enjoy their Pho soup. read more

I've went to this plaza plenty of times, mostly to grab food from Rock n' Roll sushi, so imagine my surprised when I realized there was a pho spot on the other end of the plaza! Every time I go to a pho spot it's hard to decide getting pho, rice plate, or vermicelli. They are just all so so good. Funny enough, I ended up getting the seafood combo egg noodle soup (#40 Mi Dac Biet) and I must say it was pretty good! The broth was clear and tasted sweet. Fair average amount of seafood in the bowl. I've been to places where you totally get jipped. Price was average (whatever average is now with inflation) The staff might look a little standoff-ish or whatever. But they're all actually very nice. Our waiter could tell the hesitation in the order, and asked if that's what I really wanted. Are you sure sure? What are you looking for? That was nice that he took the time to make sure we were placing an order we're comfortable with. Food was great, and I didn't feel rush. Expect me to come back and try the rice plate and vermicelli!! read more

This is the place we have tried phó for the very first time and the place we keep coming back to because no one can measure up to it. The broth is amazing and so flavorful.

The large pho with well done steak is good here. Sometimes they give me enough condiments and sometimes they cut it short. Another downside is the price..it's a bit higher than other places I order from. Overall, I'll probably come back and give it another try. read more

Customer service here is what got me to put this review in. Came here with my family and we were having a great conversation with one of the workers. Really made me miss being back in Vietnam. We shared some laughs and of course they knew we wanted extra vegetables to put in our Pho. Pho was great with plenty of meat on the inside. Broth was just right and not too salty. Ordered the raw beef as an appetizer and it was not as good as I thought it would be. There was no wait time and we were seated right away. Parking lot is huge so no concerns there.

The best!! I've been to so many pho places in the Bay Area, and I will always come back to Pho An Hoa. Given I've only had their beef and brisket pho, it always hits home for me. The broth is on point! I don't taint my broth with sriracha and hoisin like most places. There's rarely a pho spot that I'll get to the bottom of the bowl too, and this was the XL bowl!! Over the years this pho spot has made some improvements with their interior and menu. The servers are always quick to take your order, so if you already know what you want, it'll come quick! With as busy as they get, I'm impressed how fast our order comes out. Don't forget to pick the noodles of your choice! This is the only place I've been able to order CLEAR NOODLES!! I really like the chew and texture of these noodles. It's much better than the standard noodles they come with. You could also ask for the bun bo hue noodles for another change in texture. Very slurpable noodle. Thank you Pho An Hoa for always taking care of me! read more
