    Short Rib BBH Soup
    Kim T.

    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

    I heard the pho here was really good. It was late night and decided to order from here. They did not disappoint. Food was good especially the bbq chicken bahn mi. One day we will make it to the restaurant for sure.

    YUM YUM YUM! great pho for rainy weather. i ended up getting the P1 and it was fresh and delicious. i usually never like the meatballs when I get them in pho, but I could not get enough of these ones. definitely will be back here when I'm on this side of town!

    I go eat pho not doing nails they charge my card with nail services next door since the restaurant system was down

    Very bad services and dishonest people . They didn't tell us the system was down then ran to the nail salon next door charge the credit card . When we wanted the recipe they said they don't have it. Everyone blamed on everyone like Wtf. I go eat food not doing nails

    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.

    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.

    Love online menus!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sarah T.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Quality/Quantity - My daughter craved Pho so we came to this place. It has been a VERY long time since we ate here. Actually, the previous time was with the previous owners/business. Today we got the following: Fish Ball Noodle Soup with Pho Noodles - Of course my daughter's choice and with NO veggies?!?! This looked so plain... I know I could have made this better at home! My wife shared some of her wontons with my daughter to add to the flavor. See pictures. I am sure this is NOT what my daughter had in mind when she craved Pho. This was much more of a "Chinese" dish rather than Vietnamese. Update - My daughter mentioned that she could not find regular thinly sliced beef pho as an option. And she thought fish balls were beef balls... Wonton Noodle Soup - Also as plain as my daughter's dish. Again, more of a Chinese dish rather than Vietnamese. #24 Fried Pork Chop, Chicken, Egg with Steamed Rice - Fried fresh and perfectly done! My pork chop and chicken were 5 stars! Everything else was just okay. Ambiance - Very small local business. Decent size parking lot, but not enough spaces for this busy mall. We got lucky and got a space fairly close to the restaurant. Not stressed as we planned to shop at Foodnet after lunch. Service - Had to ask for everything. Hard to get their attention as they just hung around the first booth talking and talking and talking. The hardest worker was the runner, probably the only employee that was not family...? Price - $66 + more generous tip than deserved or earned. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 2024. And your previous location in Oakland, etc. The previous location was known for their chicken, chicken noodle soup, etc.

I pointed out the roasted peanuts in the dish and they pulled it back but I think they just removed the peanuts and revarnished the top because I ended up having an allergic reaction. There could have been a language barrier or not wanting to waste food but it was highly unsafe especially for really bad allergies. The dishes before I had the noodles were the calamari and the tempura. It was very crispy. The calamari was rather salty but overall, the texture was there. The rice rolls were soft, it was different from the regular Chinese pork (even shown in the pictures of the menu) but still pretty good. The servers needed to be flagged down to get help but they were proficient in timing the food. Very spacious area and lots of room seating.

    Wooooow I'm literally blown away! Happen to be in alameda and was craving dried noodles. Looked…read morethrough Yelp and ofcourse there's tons of options. Ended up going to Chong Qing noodle house and it was a smart decision. We walked over and immediately greeted by the very nice lady. We said to go so we grabbed a menu and sat down. The lady approached us and asked if we needed reccomendation. I said I wanted dried noodles so she recommended the Zha Jiang noodles. She also recommended the wonton and some cucumbers but we ended up just getting the wonton in addition to the noodles. They prepared our foood quickly and we had it to go We took our food to the alameda brewery and as soon as open the noodles - it already smelled so good. Those noodles were amazing!!!! It was so flavorful, bouncy noodles, tender meat and together it was perfect. I did wish it comes w fried eggs. The wontons are also tasty - great taste and the chili oil is perfect I would def comeback to this place and try their other dish! And I recommend you check them out

About 15 seconds after we got our menus, that one of the servers was hovering over us. We were trying to make our decision but she would just not leave us alone, and kept pointing out options. It felt more like pressure than anything. Once we ordered the food came fairly quickly. The wings were incredibly flavorful, I'd order again in a heartbeat. The dumplings were delicious. My biggest complaint was how pushy the server was. I wanted to leave but I thought my niece wanted to stay so I didn't say anything. While we were leaving my niece said she was very uncomfortable there, but didn't want to say anything. The food was delicious, but we both agreed we'd probably order delivery next time. Our in person experience was just too unpleasant.
