    Picture of menu (appetizers and noodle soups)

    One of my go-to spots for chicken pho! I used to go to their location in Oakland (which was closer), so I was a little bummed out when they relocated further away from me, but they take card as a form of payment now (which wasn't an option before) so it's not so bad. They have a lot of things to choose from but I usually order the shredded chicken pho with the skinny pho noodles. Broth is delicious on its own so I don't add anything extra but sriracha and pickled peppers for spice, as well as their ginger scallion sauce on the side for dipping (but they do have condiments that you can add if needed). Vietnamese iced coffee is always a nice addition but I was so full so I skipped out on that this time. Place is usually packed so keep that in mind. It's a decent size place but does fill up fast. Clean and well maintained. This restaurant is located in a shared parking lot with other stores so parking fills up fast on the weekends otherwise weekdays are fine. Again, so many things to choose from. Love coming here for a comforting meal.

    Fried Shrimp Cake Appetizer

    Pho Ga Huong is in the same strip mall as DT Dim Sum albeit on the opposite side and at the far end. Years ago, when I worked in the area, it was a Chinese restaurant that I had lunch at on occasion. Recently, I came across the reviews for Pho Ga Huong Que. The very positive comments made me add this restaurant to my list of places to try. Last week, we had no plans and lots of time for lunch, so I made the drive over. We arrived before opening and sat outside for a few minutes. When the time came, we entered. A woman sitting at the first booth greeted us and directed us to a booth. Menus were presented as was hot tea. The restaurant appeared to be clean and well-spaced even though it was not huge. Other guests entered and were seated. Our orders were taken. Very quickly, the food began to arrive. Fried Shrimp Cake - 3 - These fried very well, crispy on the outside. Inside, however, the cake itself was very similar to Japanese Kamaboko (Fish Cake). We didn't notice a distinctive shrimp flavor. Beef Stew Noodle Soup - 5 - She ordered this with Pho Noodles. Everything about this bowl was spot on. From the broth and the noodles to the beef. Perfect cold weather food. Oxtail Noodles Soup - 5 - I ordered mine with Egg Noodles. Among the many foods that I'm a freak for; a good Oxtail is something that I'm always on the seeking. I would have to say that this bowl was even better than her Beef Stew. We ate, we enjoyed, we conversed. When we were done, we asked for a couple of containers. Her for the soup and noodles that she couldn't finish. Me, for the one Oxtail remaining plus the remainder of my broth. My wife went up to register and paid. Because the receipt had not be delivered to our table, I estimated how much lunch had cost to compare to what she paid. She looked at the receipt and appeared confused before handing it to me. I looked at it and suggested that she show it to the cashier who was once again sitting in the booth behind us. The cashier took a look at the receipt, and then a closer look with an intake of breath. She apologized profusely and explained that there was an error on our check. The 71-cents that we had paid was incorrect! I told her that we had suspected as much as she worked to recalculate the correct amount. My offer to tell all of our friends, family and neighbors about how inexpensive the restaurant was not enough to dissuade her from charging us the correct amount. Oh well. Apparently, she entered 59-cents as the sub-total when the correct amount was $59.00. All's well that ends well. We'll be back!

    Shredded chicken noodle soup with ho fun

    I'm a big pho ga fan and have always been loyal to Turtle Tower, but a bunch of friends told me Pho Ga Huong Que is just as good (if not better), so I was really excited to check it out. My first attempt was a couple weeks ago right after they moved locations but the line was out the door. Came back this past Sunday for lunch and walked right in, no wait. My husband ordered the bone-in chicken noodle soup with pho noodles, and I went for the shredded chicken noodle soup with ho fun. What I liked: -Love that you can choose between bone-in or shredded chicken. I usually go shredded because it's less work/messy, bone-in always has great flavor. -you can pick your noodles! Most places just default to pho noodles so it's nice to have variety. -Portions are generous, especially the chicken -Service was fast The broth at Turtle Tower is still better in my opinion, and I'd skip the egg rolls next time.

    Another delicious and savory chicken noodle soup, there is nothing else to add, will return!

    Refreshing.

    My favorite Chicken noodle spot in Oakland closed and opened up in San Leandro. The ladies remembered me and it felt good to support them. They took over a Pho spot I frequently go to and I was surprised they closed down. However, chicken bone-in with ho fun noodles and extra ginger/green onion paste. Just like how I remembered it. I think the bowls are a bit smaller than what I use to get from them before. Just happy they opened back up, in a much better place. Service is always good! Definitely try other things on the menu!

    #13 chao chiu ho fun
    Stephanie L.

    I want to start off by saying that I really didn't expect much. I don't care for steamed chicken like that, and pho ga (chicken pho) isn't my usual go to, but the BF said this place was the ultimate chicken noodle spot in Oakland, so of course we had to give their new location a try. WELLL WELL WELLL! Looks like this move was the comeback that they needed, cause their new location is clean and they now offer a special chili paste that's hellaaaaa good! They have the usual condiments on the table and I like that they have wrapped disposable chopsticks for use. The special chili paste is brought to your table, so if you don't get one, make sure you ask. They also give you a little scoop of the ginger scallion oil if you get anything with steamed chicken (rice or noodle). They have pickled jalapenos too but you gotta ask for that as well! BF had the #1 with the steamed chicken with bone, and giblets. This comes with liver too just FYI. I had the #13 chow chew noodle (chao chiu on their menu). We both got ours with ho fun noodles, but you can choose between several types. First of all, the bowls are hella big. Price tag is about $17 now, so at least the portions match. The wait wasn't too bad, and they do load up the bowls with the proteins. They only give you steamed bean sprouts on the side, but we asked for extra cilantro for our bowls and that wasn't an issue. The chow chew ho fun had hella goodies! Lot of fish balls, meat balls, shrimp and ground pork! A lot of y'all swear by VH but I personally would eat this over VH any day! Pro move - mix the ginger scallion with the chili paste, hoisin and sriracha. Dip the pickled jalapeno slices in there and top your bites of noodle or rice or whatever you're eating with this. SO FREAKING GOOD. Parking lot is shared by a whole plaza. Expect a wait if you're dining during peak hours, as the inside is pretty small. They do take Apple pay and CC, but $15 minimum!

    Eggrolls
    Marie S.

    Don't sleep on the eggrolls. They are cooked to crispy perfection. We also like the beef stew and noodle soups. They have thought of every possible noodle combination you could want, with or without giblets. Be sure to ask for the house chili sauces to create your perfect bite!

    Menu - April 2025

    Went for a late lunch and had: - Fried Egg Rolls, crispy, nothing to wrap around and a bit small. Just ok. - Beef Stew with Ho Fun Noodles, I thought there was a good amount of tender beef and gristle chunks, nice chew, right spice level soup while the wife thought the soup was a bit oily. - Shredded Chicken with Pho Noodles and Green Onion Ginger dipping sauce for the chicken. The soup was clean, sweet, light and not oily, noodles good, while the chicken. Tasted a bit off. Not sure how I would describe it, but the shredded chicken had an aftertaste that was not appealing. Service was decent, place has the ambiance of a restaurant in the middle of a southwest desert, food ok - I liked the Beef Stew noodles but not the other two items. Large parking lot with big spaces. Non-descript exterior, plain as a rectangular box with limited windows like a prison cell.

    There's no better place for a big bowl of chicken pho than Pho Ga. I've been to their Oakland location many years ago and have been meaning to go again, so when I heard that they had relocated to San Leandro with longer hours, I was determined to make it here. I finally had the chance on a recent Friday afternoon. I got there at 5:30, right before they close, and it wasn't busy at all. The menu is pretty straightforward with two pages of rice plates and noodle options. I got the same thing I got before, the #2 shredded chicken pho with ho fun noodles for $15.95. They're fast here! No joke, my chicken pho came out within a minute of ordering. I first took a sip of the soup and it was just as good as I remember, with a rich and slightly sweet chicken flavor. The shredded chicken is bland on its own, but once you dip it in the ginger scallion crack sauce they have, it's so good! I really enjoyed my bowl of chicken pho, but I wish 1) they give you more ginger sauce by default (I had to ask for seconds) and 2) they offered different sizes. I was starving when I walked in, and even then I was struggling to finish the noodles and soup because it's a GIANT bowl. I would appreciate it if they offered a smaller bowl as well, for those with a smaller stomach. I paid ~$20 after tax and tip, so it's definitely not as cheap as it used to be. I miss the days when I could get the same bowl of chicken pho for less than 10 bucks...

    Was so happy to hear that they were only moving locations, because I was about to be so sad that my favorite chicken spot was no longer around! Same owners, same great food, smaller space. The restaurant has about 12-14 tables, and can get quite busy. Takes around 10-15 minutes to get your food, so they're probably getting in the groove. But I can see myself coming here more often now that I don't have to go to Oakland and find street parking. They take card now! $15 minimum for credit card purchases.

    Half chicken with bones
    Winnie K.

    Great food and great people. I am so glad they finally reopened and moved to San Leandro! What a blessing to have them in our community. I started loving their food since 12+ years ago and definitely best pho ga in the best area.... People serving us are super friendly and attentive. Lovely small family business. I still remember back in the days when they were still in Oakland and time really flies. I still love their pho ga. It's been my favorite to order half or one whole chicken, along with bowls of rice noodle or any noodle you want. Remember to ask for the chili sauce, which they stored it in fridge. I also love their Viet coffee too!! Strong and great balance with the condensed milk. I always love bringing my friends, families, and even coworkers to this place!

    chao chu noodles, beef stew noodles
    Caden L.

    Been eyeing this place since it opened and finally had the chance to try it over this weekend. Looking at these yelp reviews made me feel optimistic to check out a new chicken pho place. However I have to say I'm a bit disappointed by the service and the quality of the food here. The soup lacked depth in the flavor. It wasn't overly salty, but it's not rich in the way you'd expect a chicken pho to taste. The beef stew was slightly better, I loved how tender the beef was. It fell apart in your mouth, even the tendons were very soft and easy to eat. The milk tea and Thai tea were nothing special, but still pleasant to have along with the noodles. I wouldn't go out of my way for these noodles especially with how many other pho places there are in the area.

    Rai L.

    Pho Ga Huong Que is a solid rice and noodle spots. I stopped by for lunch and was really impressed with the flavors. The chicken pho was aromatic, with a clean, rich broth and tender meat that hit the spot. I also tried one of a rice plate -- everything was cooked just right, from the meat to the perfectly seasoned rice. The Vietnamese coffee was legit -- strong, smooth, and sweet, just how it should be. It gave me that nostalgic "back-in-Vietnam" kind of vibe. Only reason this isn't a five-star is the portion size for the meat. For both the pho and the rice plate, I found myself wishing there was just a bit more protein to round out the meal. Still, the quality and taste make it worth coming back. Friendly service and casual, no-frills atmosphere too. Definitely a place I'll revisit.

    Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle Restaurant is located in the San Leandro Plaza. A free parking lot…read moreis available. The interior is simply decorated with inside table seating. They do have a couple of long tables to accommodate a party of 10. The restaurant has some nice large windows to let in the natural lighting. One coded lock unisex restroom. The service was friendly, nice, & attentive from both young ladies, especially Selina (?) who took care of me. Beef Tripe Salad - thin cuts of marinated tripe that was spicy, flavorful, though a bit salty ~maybe just this batch today. I usually love this appetizer in general. Sticky Chicken Wing - hot, juicy, fried wings in a soy, chili, and sticky sweet sauce. This had a nice flavor to it but, I wouldn't say it was in the same class as San Tung's. It is worth trying. Red Bean Pudding Milk Tea - lots of red bean and decent tea flavor. I'd come back to try their Noodle dishes, etc. Support your local business.

We did get the dry beef…read morenoodles that I sadly did not take a picture of, but it had peanuts in the dish (they do not list any of the ingredients on menu but I feel that they should at least, list for allergies). 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.

I ordered crispy noodle with beef, and somehow got crispy rice instead. The crispy rice honestly was not very good, it had a tough and weird texture and it wasn't crispy and tough to eat but I'll give credit where it's due, the beef itself was super tender and the sauce was actually really flavorful. That part definitely carried the dish even though it wasn't what I was expecting. Then there was the milk tea situation. They completely forgot to include it with my to-go order, and I honestly wouldn't have gotten it at all if I hadn't stopped and asked for it after I was handed the order. I had to walk back in to remind them, which was frustrating because takeout orders should at least be double checked before handing them out. The eggplant string beans were probably the best thing I ordered. Really tasty, good flavor, nice wok flavor too... but SO oily. Like, noticeably oily even for a dish that usually leans heavy. The won ton noodle soup was just okay. It was very middle of the road, probably a 3/5. Nothing terrible, nothing memorable either. Overall, the food had flashes of being really good, which honestly makes the mistakes even more frustrating. There's definitely potential here, but between the wrong order, missing drink, and inconsistent dishes, this visit ended up being more disappointing than satisfying.
