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. Place is big and spacious. Overall great experience. read more

Bland Bland. Bland clay pot. Why offer something when you put no effort into the appearance or flavor.

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

Food is fresh - chicken noodle soup, grilled salmon salad, crispy sole fillet, crispy chicken, and boba.

Pretty good pretty good pho. We (husband, kids, and me) had to go to San Leandro to rescue a puppy, so we decided to take this opportunity to try a restaurant in San Leandro after I finished work. I haven't been to San Leandro really, so I messaged a coworker for some recommendations nearby the place we were going to rescue the puppy. He recommended Pho An Hoa, and we weren't disappointed. My daughter loves pho after all! We got our usual pho restaurant stuff - 3 different phos, a pork chop dish, and the fried rolls. The pho bowls were a generous size and we were happy with the amounts. My daughter enjoyed her usual chicken pho. The husband enjoyed his tai (steak) pho, and I decided to try one of their seafood phos and it was pretty good as well. My son liked the pork chops (he doesn't really like pho unfortunately, but I hope he will when he's older). Everything had good flavor without it going overboard for the most part. The pho was really good, but my son said he liked the pork chops from the other spot we normally go to. He was the only one that didn't finish his food, so we took a small box to go. The egg rolls were alright. I don't remember them too much, so I guess I didn't dislike them or really enjoyed them. We'd go back here if we were in the area, but wouldn't go out of our way to dine here again. Pho An Hoa seemed really popular with to go orders too. Solid pho spot! read more

I used to go here all the time especially in like 2017 to 2019 but I stopped going in the past two years because every single time I go I and/or my partner get food poisoning. The only thing I can get and not get food poisoning is the chicken noodle soup pho. I don't exactly wanna play Russian Roulette on food poisoning. I'm writing this review now because after not going for like a year I went with my mom completely forgetting why I don't go there anymore. Now I'm paying the price. read more

My go to local pho place -- it's so delicious and healthy. I genuinely love coming here to dine in or get take out to eat at home. I get the egg rolls, chicken pho and Thai tea with boba and it hits the spot everytime. Also, I recently found out about the Joes pho scandal where they were harassing there employees and overworking them. This place is a better business to support that isn't involved in any illicit situations like that. 10/10 recommend read more

I apologize for not knowing the actual names of these dishes. My friend brought me here and the food was soooo good. Vietnamese fare from soup, to rice dishes and noodle dishes. Outside seating avail. They seemed very popular for take out. The portions were large so had lots of leftovers to bring home. Very tasty and will return! Loved the seafood and meat noodles. The beef and rice was so tarty. A ton of variety to choose from on their menu. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a friend. I ordered the grilled beef and egg roll vermicelli and split some shrimp spring rolls. The portion sizes were great. Large spring rolls although I think the peanut sauce was a little less flavorful. The vermicelli bowl was great. Very good beef and egg rolls. The service was also speedy and the operator seemed very friendly. I ended up ordering a strawberry and raspberry tea with chia seeds to go cause my friend's drink looked great. The menu was large but not overwhelming. They had a ton of drinks and desserts so I would recommend going for that even if you're not getting a main meal. Prices were reasonable and just slightly cheaper than other places around. Definitely worth coming back. read more

This is by far, well to myself at least, not pho. When the bowl is brought out to the table, it looks good. But looks can be deceiving! The broth has no characteristics of a pho broth at all. It resembles the mixture of beef bullion and water mixed together to a boil. Even the chili oil is prepackaged and taste like Tapatio which would definitely ruin the broth even further. If you're someone that never had pho before and would like to discover and learn how to eat, this would be a great place to go. read more

Pho An Hoa - Phoking good! - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

[IN A NUTSHELL] great pho, good lunch deal, yummy rice plate [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] This is one of my frequent places to get some decent authentic price pho. I can't say much about this place except that you should definitely try this restaurant. They have a lot of options for you to try different dishes, with a lot of variations. They also have a lot of drink options/boba that I have yet to try. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.5/5 * 10. Phở Đặc Biệt $13.95 (3.5/5) -beef noodle soup with sliced eye round steak, meatball, flank, well done brisket, tripe, tendon -If you are ever in need for some home made and delicious pho, this is one of the better pho places in the east bay. I come here for some great soup especially during the cold. What I love about the combination is that there is a variety of meats along with the beef broth. The soup is a little on the saltier side but I don't mind because I usually dip my noodles with Hoisin sauce and Sriracha which gives a good combination for dipping. All the meats tasted great and I like how the beef was a little raw when I first get it because I like mine medium rare. * 80. Cơm Sườn Nướng $13.95 (3.5/5) -grilled pork chop over rice -If you're looking for a simple rice dish, this is the one to get. I especially love eating this and drenching my meal with the fish sauce. If you can't already tell, I am a sauce guy. The pork chop has the lemon grass flavor to it. This was a delicious rice dish and it also comes with a small bowl of beef broth (I believe that's the flavor). I would however, maybe should've gotten the one with the egg because eggs make the rice dish better. But other than that, a good rice dish. [SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE] (not reflected upon review score): Service was ok. Our waitress came back only once to check up on us, but other than that I don't think it was something bad it was just the idea that we needed some utensils and it was hard to know who was working there. Atmosphere is super nice and there is a lot of seating, outdoors too if you prefer. [TIME STAMP] NOVEMBER 2022 read more

Amazing food and service by our amazing waitress, July! They gave us a free dessert! Please order their special you will love it!

Went here to get some pho to have something warm in my stomach. Was greeted by one of the workers and was told it's open seating and we can sit where ever we liked. After picking a table another worker brought us the menu and water. The place is very spacious so I didn't feel cramped. After a few minutes the worker came back and took our order. I order the pho dac biet and they only have 2 sizes, Large and XL, so the portions are quite generous. The food came out quick. Quality of the food was decent, it had a sweetness to the broth I never tasted before, but it was fine. I wouldn't mine coming back to try other dishes on their menu. It felt like I was in and out in 20 minutes. read more

Pho An Hoa - 10. Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

It's been years since we were here last. We walked in and grabbed a table. Server came over and dropped off a couple glasses of water. Another server came over to take our order. I asked for menus and she pointed at the VR Code on the table top. Duh! She came back and took our order. I got 10a Assorted Beef with Rice Noodles. She got 58a Seafood with Fish Cakes. We both felt that the soups were very sweet and somewhat salty at the same time rather than being super beefy or chickeny. While I had all the advertised bits and pieces that I expected, there was very little of any one ingredient other than noodles. On hers, the fish cakes were very firm. The bowls definitely filled us up but neither was particularly satisfying. read more

I remember this being one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in San Leandro, but it seems to have downgraded. I think the owners changed. The service was good. The food was alright, nothing amazing. The spicy chicken wings were not spicy at all and the batter was quite thick. I've never tried Vietnamese beef stew so I ordered it, and it tastes like Chinese beef stew. My mom got their pho and she said the broth wasn't as good as before when we came few years ago. read more

3.5/5 stars - but rounding to a 4 because the service quality was kind! We were seated instantly and they took our order fairly quickly. I will say that despite the initial attentiveness and speed, our order took forever to come out. We got an avocado smoothie with boba that was almost finished by the time the food came out. The waiter apologized (without us having to ever complain/ask about the food) for how long it took for the food to come out and stated that they were making everything from scratch. Without us having to address the issue, I instantly felt better knowing that the staff was aware of the issue! The food itself had large portions but was not anything special. My friemd ordered a grilled pork eggroll vermicelli bowl and I got the Mi Xao Mem Thap Cam which I was not the biggest fan of. It didn't satisfy what I was hoping to get out of the dish. Maybe I should have ordered pho. read more

I've been faithfully coming to this spot since 2018, I've tried other spots but they don't ever compare to this spot. Always good customer and quick service, I've brought friends/family here and we've never had issues. The broths are always flavorful, the rolls are always crispy and delicious, I also love getting their garlic noodles with shrimp! They've recently re-added the Mango panna cotta, it was so delicious. The interior could be a little better but they are very clean, 9.5/10, I always recommend this restaurant to whoever is looking for some food pho! read more

Came here for the first time. Pretty nice place, they have a very big area for outdoor dining. We had shredded pork rolls for appetizer, then pho and the combo fried egg noodle dish. The rolls were brought out last. The pho broth was good, but the rare meat was chewy. The combo fried noodles was just so so, not enough sauce. The rolls had too much vermicelli noodles to make them look bigger. They seemed to have good business, dining in and take out orders. read more

Unacceptable service today: 1) I'm a regular. Normally when I walk in the waiter would instruct us where to sit. Not this time. The waiter noticed my party of 3 and said nothing, despite a couple of tables available. So I asked for a table, and he said "no table that's why I'm looking around for one" as he rudely gestures with his head left and right. I figured it's COVID, so maybe it was intentional that we can't be seated despite there being tables available. So by then 5 mins passed and I asked "how about outside?" and he agreed. I was annoyed because he could have recommended this from the beginning. 2) We sat down, scanned the QR code on my phone, and was ready to order within minutes but the guy never came back to take our order. 10 minutes in, we saw another group came and the waiter instructed them to sit outside and took their order immediately. I waved to the waiter, but he never once glanced our direction. Fine. Maybe he needed to handle something urgent. In a couple of mins, the other group was served their food and meanwhile we still haven't had a chance to ORDER. Strike two. 3) What really tipped me off is this, and I see this happen in a lot of places -- priorities. Instead of coming back and checking up on customers, the waiter INSTEAD thinks it's more important to bus tables and walk around aimlessly. Now I really want to go up there, but in my apparent livid state, I don't want to cause a scene...the last thing I need is for them to spit on my food. So we left. I doubt they'll be affected by this review because they do make a really mean pho. For now, I'm taking my business elsewhere since this is no way to treat a customer -- a regular at that. Reminds me of my favorite local internet provider that treat new customers better than existing customers by always giving better promo rates for new customers and squat for loyal customers. And at some point, you just end up dealing with it. I probably should have ordered to go. There are better pho alternatives where you're not treated so poorly and the difference is acceptable enough considering the service experience. Joe's Pho comes to mind... read more

My bowl of pho was ok. Went out with my family and bought 2 xl bowl of soup and 2 kids noodle and soup plain 1 side of rice and a side of pickled onion and 2 drinks and I felt it was very pricey! I paid $100 just for that I felt like It was overpriced! My kids didn't even get a whole meal only side bowl of noodles and broth. Like they coulda just had some of mine . Anyways it was very over priced I don't think I'll come back and order soup here. It wasn't the best I've ever had. read more

I was in the neighborhood and was looking for a vegetarian lunch. The Tofu house was closed for some reason, and Jasmine only had white rice and steamed vegetables :/ I walked down to this place and ordered the clay hot pot. Then while I was waiting, I read the recent reviews and started doubting my choice for this restaurant, and lowered my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised and noticed that everyone was friendly, the place was clean they were fast, and then the food was fresh and tasted great. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

Had to find a new pho spot after the Joe's Pho debacle. I really liked the pho here. The broth was clear and taste really clean. Not sure how to describe it but it just tasted fresh. The garlic noodles w/ shrimp were too heavy and salty for me but my compadre loved it. Personally, I won't order that again. We ordered the rice with crispy chicken for the kids. They loved it. This is on top of the list so far out of the there other places we have visited in Castro Valley. read more

Pho was decent but the Vietnamese coffee was not good and they put it in a styrofoam cup rather than using the traditional drip cup.

Fast service, but we felt rushed to order. My daughter didn't order a bowl with fatty meat or tendon but she got several pieces of each. Flavors were okay, but not great. read more

This is one of my go to spots in the east bay for viet food! I always go for their chicken clay pot, pho tai and egg rolls.

English, Vietnamese, Spanish under in 1 roof--brings that Bay character! Initial server speaks 5 languages and seated quickly because he could flex bus and order taking fluidly to get tea and seated immediately because of his skill and flexibility!! Broth: amazing. Added an avocado boba. Super reasonable prices for the Bay definitely would come back. There's an extensive menu i haven't looked far into yet! They open late! Especially born into a similar background, I could feel the hours they dedicated here reflected in having a quality community staple. Definitely come support a small family business with hard workers and great food! read more

The intention of this review is to communicate valuable feedback to the owner for them to remind staff how to provide basic level of service. If the staff is aware that the order is incorrect, do not attempt to deliver the order and hope the customer does not notice. I ordered a pho in extra large size and when the staff was delivering the food, I had a hunch it was not extra large so I asked "What size is this?", the staff member quickly replied "This is a large, Ill go back to correct this now". I really dont know how to process this because I didn't disclose I ordered extra large yet he knew immediately and he had a guilty smile as he was going back to correct the order. Its not a lot of money that I would lose out on but it just felt like there was some intention of theft on his part and I am paying extra for less food.... A shrimp pork papaya salad was also ordered and the same staff member knew I wanted an extra plate. We can agree that the extra plate is intended to put food on it. Im not sure what was the goal of giving a wet plate with pieces of dirt on their was for. I had to go back up to exchange the plate.... Im going to skip coming here for a little and maybe try it again in the future. read more

Driving through San Leandro, I looked around close by to see what to eat. I gave Pho An Hoa a chance, since Ramen sounded good. The location is within a Plaza with other places, so there is ample parking. The restaurant is big inside, and I was nicely greeted. I went with #40, a seafood Ramen. It offered Ramen, Crab, Shrimp and veggies. Soup came apart, and it also came with Cilantro, lemon and xtra veggies. Soup was heated up well, and the Ramen was delicious. #40 was actually #1! It was a nice portion for $10, and the lunch here filled me up all day. I'm not from around San Leandro, but if I am nearby again, Pho An Hoa can expect another visit from me and try something different, like a stir fry, other ramen read more
