Ambience , so nice inside and feels so homey

Amazing service, any review about how the miss lady who is a server / hostess is so incredibly misleading and clearly did not try to get to know someone. She's is so very kind and cares about the restaurant. The old man that seems to work behind counter is funny and very helpful. They do give you water bottles instead of cups and as a former germaphobe I actually love this. The food is absolutely fire.I can't call it the most fine dining Vietnamese , however for what I was expecting vs what I got into, this is absolutely going to be at minimum a once a month visit for me for a long time. I can't wait to try the other menu items. I came with my girlfriend and she also really loved the pho and service . The sweet waitress also called my girlfriend very pretty (she's right) Also you may have seen 100% bring cash. I would've been a bit disappointed if I didn't and I'm very lucky to have had cash on me. I went and got the 2 regular sized pho's and left 30$ and that seemed to make everyone happy lol. 10/10 loved it a lot I hope these people are making lots of money because this is what being in America is about lol

Chicken egg rolls
Kitty A.

Visiting my daughter and we agreed on a Pho restaurant and this one was close to her house, about 7 min. The restaurant was clean, the interior is just outdated. The server was great! She was friendly, funny and quick on her feet. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, the chicken egg rolls and the N36-Stor Fried Chicken with lemongrass sauce with the vermicelli. Everything was fresh and delicious. The egg rolls were nice and hot when they were served. We didn't eat it all because the portion was generous and I must say the food travels well bc we ate again for lunch the next day and the taste was as if we had just ordered.

The bar.

Cover your ears when you open the front door as the bell that alerts your entrance is quite loud. It is a large restaurant with good parking accessibility. The men's room is not lockable but they provide a curtain to separate one standing from one sitting. There were some boxes stored in plain view near the kitchen. Moving onto the food they have 5 star food and 5 star service. I ordered pho ga and she brought amazing chicken Phố. I also had cafe sua da which was excellent. The vegetables brought to add to the Phố were good but not quite enough. Two juicy lime halves added to the great Phố flavors. My total bill was $22. I will return because the food is great and the staff is very friendly. Pho Leo seems to be the furthest east of any Vietnamese restaurant in Mesa so this is an important business which I encourage everyone to experience and support.

PHO fixing in a weird basket that looks like it never gets cleaned
James S.

I have gone here on two separate occasions, both times I ordered PHO, which was decent... but the customer service is less than ONE star! I simply can't understand how a server (like tower) as she is the only one working both times can hate her customers as much as she does. The food is fair at best, but the portions are generous. I asked for a glass of water and they give you a small water bottle (don't think about asking for extra water!!!) When it's time to go and you want to take your food home, just wait for the obnoxious eye roll!! Oh yeah and by the way, if you have a $10 meal get ready for the three dollar credit card fee as cash is preferred!! who wouldn't prefer cash, I would love to avoid paying taxes also!!

S40. French Styled Beef Stew
Matthew M.

I love this place, stumbled across this place many years ago, and have not been disappointed. I've tried quite a few things and each one has been very good. The employees are helpful when you have questions. It does get busy at times which is always a good thing. Give this place a shot.

Brisket and tendon Pho. Takeout order at the Airbnb.

The pho here is legit delicious. Stopped by on a visit to Mesa and it was so good we went back for takeout. Deep flavorful broth, generous portions of meat and tendon. Noodle texture was decent, maybe a little on the soft side. The fresh shrimp spring rolls were also good accompanied by a tasty peanut sauce. I saw some comments regarding decor and service and I'll just say that yes, the door bell is loud and yes, the owner is no nonsense, and yes the bathroom is a little gross. However, in my experience, this usually has an inverse correlation with the quality of the pho which was top notch. For Asian restaurants, I judge the food, not the decor!

The big protein heavy cold noodle bowl!
Shane T.

Food is five+ stars. And it has been for the seven or eight years. I've been eating here on a regular basis. But sometime in 2025 they must've remodeled the restaurant so it's much more upscale and has a really fresh clean appearance to it personally I don't care about the appearance as much as I do is a good service, but "number one is how good is the food?" The menu has changed a little bit. It's more condensed, you don't get to have as many options with the noodle bowls as before, but it wouldn't surprise me if they would customize for you. I love the cold noodle bowls, with some protein and or tofu and this has always been one of my FAV go two spots. I always get the same thing, which is the Vietnamese noodle bowl with protein on it, and then I also happen to really like their shrimp spring rolls with thick peanut sauce and a side of fish sauce. Both of their condiments are well balanced. I think my photographs will speak for themselves!!!! let's just say, at some point in our lives by the time you're 30 years old, you stopped to think about what would be your final lunch or dinner that you would request,, if you could eat anything you wanted to eat. This is definitely on MY short list. Don't expect to be controlled and have a lot of conversation, the owners and our servers are pretty much straight to the point, and they like to leave you alone. The young woman who's here however is a little bit more outgoing. Years ago, I asked her if she had any extra Basel, she not only brought me extra Basel. She brought me some to take home.!!! It was by far one of the best basils I've ever had in my entire lifetime, and we used to grow it at home. Anytime I see lots of fresh mint, and or fresh basil, I get excited about it. If you do come here and get the noodle bowl and you like basil and mint, do take it off your dish and tear it up and throw it into your meal!!!

Vegetable Pho in vegetable broth. My new favorite soup.
Angela O.

I absolutely love this place. I've been going since they opened (even before covid). Leo's Special #1 in the summer is my go to. The fresh spring rolls with a lil fish sauce and chili is delicious and the pho is bomb. One thing I love, is how there's always been something on the menu to accommodate my dietary needs. Sometimes I take a break from meats and animal products and can still enjoy a satisfying vegan pho. Same when I'm taking a hiatus from carbs, I'll order the veggie pho with chicken and no noodles. Still tasty and filling. I've gone in after a long day at the office and just enjoyed a glass of wine. It's recently been remodeled and the ambiance is pretty chill. I dig this place.

Special Vermicelli Bowl
Elvira G.

Clean including restrooms. A few lights out in restaurant. Friendly and efficient service. My Bun Bo Hue: side of bean sprouts not super fresh, basil fresh. Broth spicy but lacked lemongrass. Noodles had nice bouncy texture. Beef slices were the highlight- tender, lean and thinly sliced; nice tendon; pork sausage lacked flavor. Overall 3.7 Hubs' Vermicelli Bowl: Full-flavored side broth, savory variety of meats and shrimp, generous portion. Fresh marinated veggies and a yummy meat egg roll. Overall 4.0 Next time will try the veggie pho with tofu. Extra $3 to use credit card. Our total with tip 43. We paid cash. No appetizers or drinks. Recommend. ~EG Eats

Combination pho
Emily L.

How can a restaurant with fantastic food make you feel so sad? They put shady pricing tactics into place that make you feel a bit cheated. Our table ordered a combination pho with egg noodles -- which was the best pho bowl I've had east of the Asian district -- and a lemongrass tofu vermicelli dish that was so flavorful with a nice kick. I have no qualms about the food. It was pretty stellar. The first hint we had that Pho Leo was pretty profit-hungry was the waiter poking his pen on my menu several times asking if we wanted (or more so urging us) to order drinks or appetizers. The second was when my mom asked for a vegetarian sauce instead of the fish sauce-based nuoc cham -- granted that the lemongrass tofu was on the "vegetarian" menu -- and the waitress begrudgingly dropped soy sauce at our table. When we got the check, we realized we were charged for our waters without warning -- water isn't even on the menu and we didn't ask for bottled. The waitress also told us only upon taking our card that there'd be a $3 fee for using credit card (that's a 10% charge on our meal -- WAY more than credit card processing fees). This fee wasn't posted anywhere. If the restaurant owners are reading, I highly recommend raising prices instead of using these outdated tactics. I would've gladly paid that extra $5 for my bowl of pho. Its quality is great, portions are very generous, and Pho Leo is basically the only great pho place serving East Mesa. Inflation sucks, but we're all in it together -- it's 2024 and hidden charges are out.

S39. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Central Vietnam Style
Jessica V.

Great Bo bun hue. It is very spicy. They always give large portions at reasonable prices. Their vermicelli bowls and pho are also delicious. We frequent this restaurant. Sometimes the service can be slow but they get packed and are family run.

This place is a gem!…read more Our problem is that each dish is better than the next. We think we know what we want to order when we walk in. But, we'll see something new on the menue, and it then becomes our new favorite. ANYthing we order has been outstanding. The service is very friendly and very helpful. They are very accomodating. The atmosphere is not fancy, but it is clean. While eating there, I always say. "I can't wait to come back." Just writing this review is making me yearn to eat there now, and I just ate there two days ago. If you have a favorite Asian restaurant that is different from Old Town Taste, I challenge you to try this restaurant. I am confident it will become your new favorite.

I specifically went to your website and chose delivery through your online portal.. the first step of owning a good business or running a good business is owning up to your mistakes!! Very frustrating experience. I placed a delivery order (almost $100 from their website, not an 3rd party) and an item was missing. When I called, they argued with me and insisted they "knew" they packed it, like I'd lie over a $10 item. They made me send photos before agreeing to remake it and said they would deliver it. 30 minutes later nothing arrived. When I called back, they said they had no driver and told me to pick it up even though I paid for delivery because I did not have a vehicle at the time. They refused to refund me, hung up, and even blocked my number. I had to go in person just to deal with it, they continued to refuse a refund for the item until I told them I would bring the police due to them stealing from me.

Great little dumpling place!…read more The place is small, with limited seating, so be prepared to wait a little, though we didn't wait long! Maybe 20 minutes? The staff was all really friendly which surprised me because I swear they never stopped! They were busy but still kind and attentive! We ordered the spicy dumplings and the Hong Kong Fried Rice! The Boas were good, but the dough was a little thicker than I'm used to. So I felt full rather quickly! The fried rice however, 10/10 NO NOTES!!! Best fried rice I think I've ever had!! Totally worth the drive. Will be back for sure!!

Parking 5/5 Very busy lot, however; we parked at store-front between two places of interest. Atmosphere 5/5 Small quaint women owned Chinese restaurant celebrating 17 years!

The owner brought us menus from the counter and took our beverage orders giving us a chance to look over the menu. After returning with our drinks she asked if we had any questions and we did.

Service today was amazing and friendly. Food 5/5 Oh my, all your favorites are on the menu. Our Egg drop soup hit the table in short order and both of us approved, excellent Egg Drop! Onto the entrees My wife's Egg Foo Young arrived first and her plate had several large and fluffy pieces that looked very tasty. It came with the traditional sauce on the side, and fried rice. The owner encouraged me to try some and my fork obliged. OM Gosh, perfectly cooked, wonderful texture and flavor! My dish is my regular go-to when trying new Chinese cuisine. The pork was perfectly cooked, slight crispy which I enjoyed. The S&S sauce was nice as well. I added some of my rice to the mix. Based in both our entree selections I will order these again! Our cook came out to clear our table and we thanked him for a great lunch. $48.35 plus tip for our visit today and we had leftovers too. Egg Foo Young my friends-SYOY!
