The pho here is good. I come back to this place all the time. Whether it is hot or cold, I never mind coming to get a pho bowl. My go to is either #13 or #14 with egg noodle. The only complaint I got is sometimes your drinks come out late, but the food is so good you forget. read more

Was looking high and low for a pho spot in the east bay. My family is from SF but my husband's is from the east bay and I was definitely missing foods I would be able to access easily in the city. I'm glad we found this spot that even my kids and the in-laws love. Super clean and friendly. Pick-up was super easy. I ordered through GrubHub and picked up at a decent time. Food smells great and delicious. Would definitely be coming back. If I could give it 10 stars I would in a heartbeat. read more

Delicious, but simple. They have good customer service, and the food always comes out promptly and fresh. I love coming her especially in the colder nights. Love this place! read more

If you are ever in Pinole and have a craving pho, this is the place you must visit. Friendly staff, clean and fast service. The pho is great, broth is flavorful and generous portions of meat. What else can you ask for at a pho place!?! read more

Got lunch takeout from this place on recommendation from my mom. Then got dinner for Grandparents' Day over the weekend. Lunch takeout: Got #20, the beef short ribs on vermicelli and fried chicken wing appetizers. The chicken wings were light, crispy, and delicious. They have bread crumbs, not the typical batter for fried chicken. The short ribs were solid as well. Dinner for grandparents: Got deep fried tofu, egg rolls, shaken beef chow mein, and several banh mis. The banh mis were on fresh, crunchy bread. Price is higher than Chinatown, but the quality is spot on. The chow mein and egg rolls are also good. Good, firm cut of meat for the chow mein and the noodles are cooked just right. I was expecting the deep fried tofu to be like at the Chinese restaurants where you get about six large pieces. On the contrary, here you get about 20 small pieces of tofu. If I had known that, I would've ordered only one order of tofu instead of two. The staff was slightly clueless about a few things, like whether we could get vermicelli instead of rice. However, the food was excellent. read more

I wish I could have tried the food. It looked really good. I walked in and walked back out because I saw multiple people in the kitchen touching food, but wearing their mask half-way with their nose exposed. For those who are vulnerable to infectious disease, or live with family who are in this sensitive group, this is a big deal. I know it's uncomfortable and inconvenient sometimes, but please practice proper safety measures for the sake of others. Please alert your staff and stay vigilant. I would love to try this place someday, but if proper health measures are followed. read more

Their food is the best I order literally once or twice a week and my daughter loves their kids sized soup also. read more

I appreciate the fact that they have more than just the shrimp fresh roll, the beef onion roll is my top choice 10/10. Paired with the peanut sauce m, you can't go wrong. The strawberry smoothie with tapioca was 10/10 also. I would love a branch in Sacramento, however it's always a nice treat when I'm in the bay. Staff is friendly, they have a clean restaurant and parking is a breeze read more

Always welcomed with a smile , the pho is a must have especially when you are feeling under the weather. Very face place kinda place but food is always delicious read more

Chicken pho on point and will return for it. Leftovers were delicious a day later. Beef tai pho was good but spice a bit too fragrant/flowery for my taste. Fresh spring rolls (shrimp) was okay. The shrimp was passable, not super fresh, alittle rubbery. Service was attentive, but wished they suggested iced coffee or something bc I forgot to try it! read more

Pho craze did me and my family dirty. Noodles halfway cooked and gave us old vegetables. Completely disappointed in this place. Will not be returning back to this place. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Pinole. I tried the Grilled beef banh mi and it was delicious and way too cheap. For the quality that I experienced I would have paid $10. This is a great value for students and family. The bread and vegetables were so fresh, the beef was perfectly grilled and marinated, and the Mayo was home made. I am definitely coming back. read more

One of about three places my husband and I frequent on heavy rotation in Pinole. We always get the pho. Staple.

It was my first time here and definitely not my last time. I ordered seafood pho and veggie egg rolls. Best seafood pho I ever had. It wasn't fishy whatsoever. Great, wonderful, and fast service! read more

Friendly folks. Tasty food. Gets packed with customers during meal times so I usually order to go. They have about a dozen tables inside and a couple tables in outdoor seating. I assume you can bring your dog and sit outside to eat. Prices are fair. read more

Very solid takeout place for banh mi and for pho. Fresh vegetables for the pho. Everything is very clean inside. read more

Their spring rolls are my addiction. So fresh and delicious. I always ask for an extra side of peanut sauce because I like to drown them in it. The meatball pho is my go too. I like the squishyness texture of the balls as you bite into them. Extra meatballs are a must! The broth is full of flavor, not watery at all. I usually do to go and throwing it all together in a lot at home, still has the same great taste. Love this spot because it's close to home. Can't beat it. read more

When this restaurant opened the quality was great. But that has decreased over time. Today I ordered a bahn mi, the meat was so tough I couldn't even chew it. I was very sad and disappointed. read more

Came here specifically for the PHO. Man! Was it good - glad I What are two different types so I could taste test both. Just tried the grilled ribeye pho And the flavor is immaculate! One literally needs to put no additives outside of the main ingredients, that's how good this broth in the seasoning of the meat are. I'll be back. Nice to know there's a local spot against traffic. read more

Only decent pho place within next two cities. Price is still reasonable. Had unfortunate experience with their rolls. Skimpy in noodles and herbs in the roll. Sauce was ok. Ordered pork chop rice place and chose broken rice. The rice was soggy. Someone messed up on the rice. Diluted fish sauce was good though. My order also had pig skin. Not all places have this item in their menu. Won't be disappointed but nothing to rave about: Typical homey Viet food. read more

Ordered the number 19 grilled plate with shrimp, chicken, egg roll, and vermicelli. The chicken was grilled well and wasn't too dry. The sauce was flavorful and the vermicelli noodles were a good texture. The shrimp was flavored well. I'd go back and get this again. I also tried fresh shrimp roll which had a good ratio, had a solid sauce, and did indeed taste fresh. read more

Pho Craze - Mango Papaya Salad with shrimp !!! Outstanding - Vietnamese Near Me - Pinole, California

This restaurant opened 6 months ago, we did not know until we went pick up pizza from Mountain Mike where was a few doors from each other. I walked over to have a look of their menu and the fragrance of the broth I picked up at the front door was quite tempting. I said let's try them next time. Of course the Pho Craze served only take out like the rest of the other restaurants, there were a few tables set at the door front for outdoor dining. I should have gotten the hint from the name Pho Craze the food might not be authentic, because the store name was not a typical or traditional name as Pho Saigon or Pho 1, 2, 3... Let's try the food... We ordered the beef combo in large, the Bun with grilled pork, shrimp and egg roll over rice vermicelli, deep fried egg rolls to share, shrimp fresh rolls and batter chicken wings. I like how they packed each items on the beef combo noodle soup: soup and beef balls packed together to keep hot, flat rice noodles Ho Fun (noodles options from rice vermicelli) and other beef items together, chopped green onion and Chinese paisley together, basil, bean sprouts, chili pepper and lime wedge packed together. I saw the raw beef slices were packed separately so I first put the raw beef slices into the soup before add the other ingredients. Kudo to the packing system on the Pho, it is very important to keep the fresh ingredients fresh and hot soup hot. However, the flavor in the soup was not as rich as the aroma from the broth, which I would prefer the Pho from Pacific East Mall in El Cerrito (Richmomd). Other points were given to the shrimp rice rolls, deep fried egg rolls and Thai iced tea with tapioca: like the thin rice wrapping on the shrimp rice rolls because some restaurants made them a bit thick and the outside of the rice wrapper got harden and chewy, this one had such issue. The egg rolls had good flavor, I wish they used other leafy lettuce rather than iceberg lettuce, was not a good wrapper to the egg rolls, traditional Pho would use other leafy lettuce to wrap the egg rolls. Thai iced tea was strong enough to survive the melting ice. What happened to the remaining two items? The grilled pork with shrimp and egg roll over vermicelli, the pork was over cooked, the vermicelli was stick together became chunky, and pork was lacked of flavor. The chicken wings coated with Japanese tempura batter, but they did not get marinated or seasoned before deep fried so the wings were also lacking of flavor. Flavors are the biggest keep component in Vietnamese cuisine, and some of the food we ordered were lacking. I would still visit again not only to give support to the new local restaurant in town, but also wanted to give them a chance an try the other items on their menu, such as the shaking beef with stir-fried noodles, the sandwiches and deep fried tofu. Service was nice and the pricing was reasonable, however, I hope they double check the orders before handing over to the customers, they almost screwed up my order glad we did not drive away when the guy behind the counter came to look for us to check one of our bags. Give them a try, they are still new. read more

I got to give it up to a new business trying to start up during a pandemic. My husband and I have our usual pho place that we've been going to for a couple of years but wanted to see what this place was about. THIS PLACE IS A TREAT!!! We've ordered a couple of times from here and we are NEVER disappointed. Everything is legit here and this last time we ordered... the food was so delicious!!! So glad to have a pho place closer to home! Definitely check this place out if you can! Highly recommend! read more

I consider myself a connoisseur of Asian noodle soups, they are my favorite meal. I take my pho especially seriously. Pho Craze is hands down the best pho restaurant in the area. The broth is SO good. We have gotten chicken and beef, and both are amazing, although beef is my favorite. The broth is flavorful and not overly salty, rich and just a hint of five-spice, not overpowering. You get lots of noodles and accouterments. The Thai basil really makes it. Honestly, we probably eat here once a week. The spring rolls are only so-so, although the dipping sauce is good. The shrimp are yummy, but the pork are just spam and the beef are a piece of Hamburger, not actual slices of grilled pork or beef. But the soup WAY more than makes up for it! Highly recommend!! read more

Literally the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to NO CAP! Wished I found it sooner but the chicken wings were too die for! I also got the short rib combo and that was fire af! I will definitely be coming back without a doubt! read more

Pho Craze - Chicken Wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Pinole, California

We had our doubts: a pho place in Pinole--really? We are originally from San Jose and, for those that don't know, that's basically Vietnam Central of Northern California. My son and I absolutely had to see what Pho in Phinole was all about. With all this Corona stuff going around, we had to do take-out (which we normally do anyway so I guess not-a-big-deal :) Ordered one large pho (thit, chin, bo vien) aka (rare steak, brisket, and meatball), and the portion stayed true to size--we were able to split it. We also shared an order of egg rolls (budgetary considerations, truth.) The extra condiments (lemon wedges, bean sprouts, mint leaves) were not "stale" and seemed super fresh. I was very impressed that a location like that had typical "Asian type veggies" that were that fresh. If you're a Vietnamese person (I'm half genetically but full culturally) you can understand that a bowl of pho has to be excellent in terms of the broth, noodles, meat, veggies and all of the extra fixings. The eggrolls came with juliened apple and mango which was also very fresh (must try) We were very pleased with that extra touch and it was different than your usual lettuce that it normally comes with. In the end, the pho was perfect for us to share and held its own with the best in San Jose. Must try this place if you're in the area and trust me you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Food is always good and service is always great. Very consistent restaurant all around and my main spot for pho.

Typical Viet food. The boba drink are powdered. The esthetic is a general. Service is good, sometimes the service takes long because they are really busy. read more
