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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

RUDE EMPLOYEW
Anna D.

Have come here MANY TIMES PREVIOUSLY and have NEVER had such rude service. This boy told me I couldn't sit at a certain table while waiting for my food. There were 7 other open tables other than mine. The younger women working with him tried to tell him I was waiting for my food but there seemed to be a language barrier. I got a refund for my drink I ordered while waiting for my food. Sadly, couldn't get my pho refunded because I ordered it through DoorDash. I'll talk that up with DoorDash. NEVER WILL I COME BACK HERE. Will find another pho place.

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.

Inside

Glad to live within minutes of pho spots and Pho Hoa is a popular reliable chain that does the job when the craving hits. I usually go to Pho Craze, but when it's closed I rely on Pho Hoa's big steamy beef pho and crispy egg rolls to brighten up a cold rainy day, which are the types of days I like to visit. Ambiance is bright and modern with cool hues of blues and greens. A gripe I have is with their service, which is hit or miss depending on the crowd size. There has been confusion on whether to order from the table or at the counter, resulting in disorganization of service and longer wait times. I've learned to order at the counter when it's crowded so you don't end up with ppl inadvertently cutting in front of you. Also the meat quality in the pho isn't the best but it is also a few bucks less expensive than Pho Craze's #1's pho with premium beef.

Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

I loooove Sue's Kitchen! The servers are always so kind. I will say I've only try most of the…read moreThai/Lao offerings and haven't tried their more Vietnamese leaning offerings like pho. I will basically come here just for nam khao, always. I love that they're able to sub in tofu. Everything else we get has always been delicious and I like that their curries and etc come with a side of rice. It can get crowded on weekends etc, so sometimes there's a wait. Totally worth it though!
