    I was seriously craving pho for the past few days I'm happy we found this place that closes a little later than 8pm. The food was really good, the summer rolls were a bit more veggie over meat yet it was still really good super restaurant before digging into our other meal the peanut sauce it came with I found to be a bit to sweet for me though. The soup was a bit to light for my taste but I do have a heavier taste for soup than others so for a light and refreshing soup it's great. My boyfriend and I both ordered large I expected it to be a fake large and be more like a medium while a regular would be smaller like most places, nope! The sizes here are actually pretty big, super filling couldn't even finish my bowl the veggies super fresh. I had also ordered a drink called moonlight that I just love slowly drinking or else it'll be gone in one gulp! They even brought us forks without having to ask just to make sure we're all comfortable. It's not that big of a store but it's a good size feels nice and cozy while the bathroom is also a good size, it's clean and well stocked.

    Vegetarian pho, regular size
    Goku U.

    One of a handful of pho places in the pinole area. Two different pho sizes depending on how hungry you are. The vegetarian pho had unique ingredients including enoki mushroom and cauliflower. Soup was salty and had slight sour taste. Could have used some more fried onions. But overall a decent bowl of pho. Restaurant was very clean compared to other busier pho shops. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot.

    My son was craving for some Pho. He misses Kevin's in Daly City. We've decided to give this place a try. Very friendly staff. Menu was straightforward. I ordered the traditional beef and meatballs Pho. I was hoping they have options with noodles but they don't. The one piece of egg roll was delicious. The regular size was big enough to get you full. We were very satisfied. Would like to try any rice plates next time.

    I tried to like the flavors. I wanted to love the grilled chicken. As the server said "so it's a personal preference"... I guess so. The rice and fried rolls were really good. The refresher was a delicious. The Kiddo lived her pho... The service was good. Good came out quickly and was hot.

    Rice noodle bowl with grilled chicken and tofu
    Charles H.

    This place is a hidden jewel in Pinole. It is a very casual restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient. I ordered the rice noodles bowl with grilled chicken and I added extra tofu. It was quite large. It is cold rice noodles topped with shredded lettuce, cucumbers , bean sprouts, peanuts, and a very tasty grilled chicken. It has a fish sauce dressing on the side. It was very delicious and a great value. I loved it!

    Getting takeout

    Always get takeout on a cold rainy day. They have a good selection and options on their menu. The servers were friendly when I picked my order. Their dining area is pretty decent, seats a good amount of people. When I got there my order was ready. Gave me my order and I was on my way. Their broth has a nice flavor, that's why I like coming to Pho Hoa.

    Chicken pho
    Catherine G.

    I really wanted to like this place. I even came back a second time to give it another shot, but I can confidently say this spot is just not for me. The chicken pho was honestly disgusting. The broth had no flavor at all, and while I know some people enjoy chewier noodles, these were extremely chewy and tasted off. The worst part, though, was the chicken. It was completely inedible -- super dry, rubbery, and tasted old. I genuinely tried to finish it, but my body literally would not let me eat it. I gave it more than a fair chance, but I won't be coming back again.

    Pho Hoa's Beef stew noodles. Decent enough.

    Came to Pho Hoa Pinole again at my mom's request to order their noodles to go here. Their service has improved somewhat, but their loud music selection is still just as bad. This time it's mind numbing EDM music Families are still coming to eat here, despite the lousy ambience . I'm writing this update in the dead of winter (Feb 2026). Very drafty as the bitter cold wind blows in through their doors. One family is literally using a blanket at their table to keep themselves warm. These teenagers still running this restaurant still think they're running a nightclub and they don't believe in turning on the heater for their patrons.. Pathetic.

    I usually don't leave reviews. I would rather just not return any more, but this took the cake. I'm writing to express my frustration with a recent experience at Pho Hoa Noodle Soup in Pinole. While I've generally enjoyed the food and service, I was disappointed when told there was a $0.25 cent charge for a to-go container for my Pho. After already paying for my meal which was $53.00, being asked to pay extra simply to take home my leftovers that I paid for is unreasonable. I understand that businesses face rising costs, but small, unexpected fees like this can leave a negative impression. They would have been better off raising the price of a meal that no one would notice, rather than the way it was handled. WE WILL NOT BE BACK

    Avocado Roll
    Gina G.

    Here for the banh mi, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, the avocado roll, and the fried roll. While Pho is not my go-to order, I will gladly join a lunch date to order other favorites. Tucked away on Pinole Valley Road, Pho Hoa Noodle Soup serves super affordable, fresh, and filling Vietnamese snacks, Vermicelli bowls, meat/rice plates, banh mi, and yummy drinks. Good to-go or for a fast-casual seated experience, friendly customer service, and food that will leave you and your wallet feeling right. The avocado roll has fully sliced pieces and does not skimp which I love (omg could bottle up the peanut dipping sauce, soooo good), the fried roll filled with minced shrimp, vegetables, and chicken (literally the best), and super solid grilled chicken and grilled pork banh mi..I still have a few favorite spots in the East Bay for these, so stay tuned there! Parking is typically busy because Trader Joe's is in the same center, but can usually grab a spot. Would def return if I'm in the area!

    15. Steak, Flank, Fatty Flank, Tendon, & Tripe Pho
    Sylvia K.

    Food was ok. Not your authentic pho shop . The chicken soup we ordered regular . The size was good. Lots of chicken The beef pho we ordered large, the steak was rough, not your regular thin slice beef in pho, also lots of noodles but not a lot of beef and other ingredients. Wish there was meatball in it too for this combination dish. The soup is not authentic. It has way too strong of a star anise flavor The jasmine milk tea was huge for the price. But it was not good. Too bland and the boba was too chewy. The best thing from the meal was the ice coffee! Wish they have a large option. All in all, the food was mediocre. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. They did give me a $2 off promotion for some reason. They said you get it if you have $40 and above. I'm not sure if I will be back. But the price was reasonable . So I might come back to try other things if I feel like taking the risk!

    This place has decent pho. It's a chain, and it definitely gives that vibe. I've tried a couple different phos, their banh mi, and their iced coffee. I think everything is quite okay. The flavor of the broth could be improved, but I think this is a solid spot if you need a quick bite. Service was very friendly and the menu is simple, so no decision paralysis haha.

    XL 48. Spicy sate
    Amy M.

    I have been to this place a couple of times and would say while it's not the best place for pho it is relatively decent pricing. The inside is always very cool and clean so the dining experience is comfortable. They also have outdoor tables if you'd like to eat outside. The service is decent, they bring out your food pretty fast and get your orders down quickly. They usually greet you normally get your order and then you have to go back up for your check. They don't really check in on you throughout the meal. I will say the portions are pretty small, especially for takeout a XL is like a Small/medium size. The regular (dine-in) is about a medium sized bowl whole the XL size is about a medium/large sized portion. I usually get the number 48( spice sate) which is pretty good. Very flavorful without it feeling too heavy or salty. It isn't really spicy, but more on the mild side. I will say that in the past I ordered a summer roll for take out and found a rubber band wrapped inside. :( I have also had a few orders messed up, but they were more than willing to fix my order! Overall, it's decent place but not the best place to grab pho in the area. There aren't many pho places around to begin with but it's still subpar compared to some other pho places close by.

My friend enjoyed their grilled pork sandwich. We shared a grilled chicken fresh roll. It was very tasty. It comes with two long rows for $9. My friend commented that the 8 dollar Thai iced tea was too expensive. It was very quiet on a Wednesday afternoon. We will definitely come back again for some more food.

While some of the dishes hit the sweet spot for me, others left me wishing for something different. Our group ordered 6 different menu items to share and everything came out in quick succession: Nam Khao, Yum Pla Muek, Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Som Tum Gai Yang, and Massamun chicken curry. Of these dishes, the star was the Nam Khao. I loved the crunchy little grains of rice and the fermented pork added a nice tangy flavor profile to each bite. It would've been great if the dish had more pork pieces in it though. Yum Pla Muek (squid salad) had a spectacular sweet and sour dynamics overall, but ratio of protein to veggies needed an improvement. Despite the name, the dish felt more like a scavenger hunt for squid pieces hidden inside the sea of cabbage. Khao Soi was great in that the broth leaned more on the clear side rather than being overwhelmingly drowned in coconut milk. Flavor-wise, it was delicious but a bit oversalted for my taste. Pad Thai is pretty decent. The sweet and tangy mix was definitely present and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Somehow, I felt like it was missing something within its aromatics profile. Perhaps the green onions should've been lightly tossed with the noodles at the end rather than sprinkled on top as a garnish. Som Tum was dissappointing in my opinion. Judging from the appearance of the papaya shreds, the preparation process might've skipped the authentic "tum" (pounded) part in the goold ol' stone mortar and pestle. The flavor was also a bit bland and the usual basic ingredients like peanuts, green beans, and dried shrimps, were nowhere to be found. Gai Yang (grilled chicken) pieces were pretty good. However, instead of steamed rice, they really shoul've included sticky rice to keep the dish's authenticity. I wouldn't recommend this dish if you're a die-hard fan of the original version. Massamun chicken curry was a bit too thin in the curry part. I didn't personally try this dish, but the general comments from those who did was that it was just mid. Overall, there's no doubt I'll be hitting Sue's Kitchen up again soon. Service there was quick, attentive, and efficient. Their price-point is also very reasonable for the portion size of the food. I'd recommend this place for anyone who wants quick and delicious Thai-Laotian food in a more quaint neighborhood of East Bay.

I recommended we grab pho but with the initial pick being closed, we pivoted to Pho Nation! When we came for dinner, it was quiet. We were one of the only customers but a few diners were coming in and out for takeout. The restaurant is super casual with not much decor or detail to it. The service was just okay and a bit confusing. For those dining in, they give you a menu and you order with them but everything else you need to go to the counter for (pay, water, any requests). We also weren't checked on during our meal. For food, I had the Regular Chicken Breast Pho. Even being a regular, it was a massive portion that I took home! The broth was good but I was never given a spoon. The noodles were on the smaller end as if they were cut. When I received my bowl the noodles were all compact so my theory is they just dumped it in there and assumed the broth would break it up. The chicken was tender. Everything else was on the table such as utensils, sauce, and garnishes. My old manager said her dish was great!

My friend decided to get extra meat and that was an extra $4. They also gave her double the vegetables for an additional $4 and extra meat as well. Her Thai iced tea was quite expensive for $6. Usually restaurants charge about $4 for Thai iced tea. I got their tofu sandwich which was full of tofu and not enough vegetables. I personally would have prefer more vegetables and less tofu. I did not like their tofu because it is a pre-fried tofu which is probably sold at Ranch 99 and from overseas. That kind of tofu has a non- creamy and somewhat tough texture. It's a bit dry even though they braise it. I prefer non-fried tofu that is slightly sauteed maintaining the creamy tofu texture. This was overly processed tofu. I will not order their tofu sandwich again. I would like to try their chicken sandwich next time and hope that they give me more vegetables. It will be nice to try some of their noodle soups which everyone else was ordering except for our table. The service was pretty quick. Their bathroom had no amenities like toilet paper. I will come back but don't know when.
