We stopped by to get their avocado smoothie, and it was such a great experience. I really loved the decorations around the restaurant--they create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was excellent. As soon as we walked in, the staff made sure we were taken care of, even though we were just placing a to-go order. I really appreciated how attentive and friendly they were. I also love that they use real avocado in their smoothies. You can truly taste the freshness, which makes the drink even more delicious. I highly recommend this place. If you're looking for great Vietnamese desserts, food, or drinks, this is definitely a spot you should check out. read more

Throwback to how pho spots used to look like! It's so cozy and reminds me of TK Noodle spots. They are the only noodle spot that opened at 9AM in the area! They keep their prices affordable and the food is delicious. I got their Hao Fun noodles in a size S, and it was the perfect size. The servers were really nice and reminded me of a fun uncle who's just making food in the back for us. read more

What? Do I seriously not have a review at Pho Lee Hoa Phat yet? Hmmmm, guess that's the case. Located in the shopping center as Tous Les Jours, Moa, and Damo Sushi, Pho Lee Hoa Phat has been a staple here in this borderline Pleasant Hill/Pachecho area for many many years now, and I as a patron of it as well. Just note, they have lots of locations around this area, but just know, this is definitely the OG location if you were going to compare. Even the people who work here are basically the same people I remember working here during their earlier days. Decor wise though, it's definitely going to feel a bit of an older spot as there hasn't been much, if any, renovations throughout the years, or even a re-design to the interior, but if you're coming here for the ambience, then it's not the best place for that. The menu has been really the same as well, as they just keep posting new price stickers on the older menu spots, so that's certainly one thing you can be sure hasn't changed much. Price wise, it's still going to be one of the cheaper options around, and you can choose what size of the bowl you want, though just a note, the only difference in the change in sizes isn't in the protein ingredients themselves, but mostly just additional soup and noodles (pho, ho fun, egg noodles), so don't be shocked if you get a large and the proteins and other none noodle ingredients seem like the same. But they do give you plenty of ingredients that would be filling for all the bowl sizes regardless, so just depends if you want more soup and noodles or not. I won't dive into everything too much as again, I've been here quite often throughout the years from the beginning, and have tried a large portion of the menu, so just depends on what you feeling. Though they are a pho place, there's also plenty of rice plate options available to you here. Their grilled meats and such here are well done, and tasty. The pork chop in-particular is a favorite of mine, and the grilled chicken is also yummy. From the noodle side, though it's not pho, I always love ordering their beef stew with egg noodle here, as it's well done and tastes great. It's a nice spot for those that just want a simple and straight forward eating experience. The service here is going to be just alright as it's a pretty large space, and they generally just don't lap around the restaurant as much as they should because of the way the store is organized. Make sure if you want fast service to be proactive, but they are friendly when you interact with them. The food portions here are going to be a good bang for your buck, particularly on the noodle side too since you can choose the size you want. All in all, Pho Lee Hoa Phat is a tasty option for any pho goer to visit. Just note, this review is specifically for the location by Tous Les Jours, and not their other location in Seafood City, which I have not tried yet so can't speak to. read more

Food was so good! I love that some of their rice plates come with shrimp cake -- such a nice bonus. We ordered a large bo kho (beef stew) with egg noodles, the BBQ chicken with shrimp cake rice plate, and fried egg rolls. The bo kho was loaded with beef (love when places aren't stingy!), and the broth was soooo flavorful. My only tiny complaint: I wish they gave a bit more lettuce for the egg rolls -- we literally got one leaf lol. Service and the dining setup are exactly what you'd expect from a classic Vietnamese spot. Overall, highly recommend! Clearly a neighborhood favorite too because this place was packed. Can't wait to come back! read more

My New Favorite Vietnamese Spot Near Concord! I recently moved to Concord and have been on the hunt for a great Vietnamese restaurant and I finally found it! While this place isn't technically in Concord, it's close enough, and absolutely worth the short drive for the amazing food and unbeatable prices. I was genuinely shocked by how affordable everything was, it is definitely not your typical Bay Area pricing. And when the food arrived, I was blown away by both the quality and the generous portions. After just one bite, I knew this would be my go-to Vietnamese spot. The service was excellent. We were seated quickly and warmly welcomed. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating and a few outdoor tables with umbrellas for shade. We started with the egg rolls and summer rolls. The egg rolls were packed with meat, noodles, and vegetables. It was super satisfying. The summer rolls were fresh and plump with pork and shrimp, and the homemade peanut sauce was delicious. For my main dish, I got a rice plate with fried chicken, an egg roll, and grilled pork WOW WOW WOW. I barely made it halfway through and had to take the rest home as a full second meal. The broth that came with the rice plate was so flavorful, it makes me confident their pho must be amazing too. I'm already planning to come back next week to explore more of the menu. Can't wait! read more

There were only 3 vegetarian selections here... My pho had lots of greens & was fairly tasty, but had plain deep fried cubes of tofu in the soup- not very appetizing ! My friend ordered the chicken pho & it was so plain - no veggies just noodles & chicken meat ! My other friend ordered pho w/wontons & noodles...we did get the customary plate of beansprouts , basil & cilantro- to share 3 ways ? After taking our orders, Our bowls were delivered fairly quickly to our table ... we had to go up front to pay the cashier, who conveniently split the bill for us! The atmosphere there is no frills & basic, w/ a tv w/subtitles ...I missed the opportunity to take photos of their bowls of soup- they started eating right away ! read more

im a big vermicelli guy and not too much of a rice or pho guy. this always hit the spot no matter what especially paired with the boba. i used to come here for after all sorts of events, whether it be basketball games, swim meets, or even just to get the boba. what keeps me coming back is the food quality and portions, but also the boba. its one of the better spots around and they use fresh fruit which is a big thing for me because i am super sensitive to powder. vermicelli bowls are to die for and paired with the strawberry boba takes that meal over the top read more

First time here. Easy parking, fairly large and clean restaurant. Lots of menu options. We ordered and our noodle soups came out quickly. Mine was tasty and my wife said her wonton soup was delicious. The only negative I have is there is no real service. The waitress only took our orders and the food was delivered by someone else. read more

Pho Lee Hoa Phat - 19. Phở Gà with chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Meh. High expectations due to presumed operations of more than 20 years and openings of 7 locations in the Bay Area per reviews read. FOOD ORDERED: Second pho combo (because it has meat balls / beef balls) - first pho location that gave more than 1 meat ball in a while - broth not flavorful, very oily - lukewarm soup - standard noodles, not the chewy highest standard type - variety of meats, not super dry but moderately dry and chewy - does separate the cilantro Rice plate with pork chop and fried shrimp cake - I read shrimp cake is one of their specialities and completely homemade so I felt I had to order it - pork chop hard like a rock - interesting that if this was a OG pho establishment, shouldn't broken rice be served? - interesting no slice of tomato given - scare veggies and pickles - side of sauce and soup - soup tastes cooked with actual bones and has a depth of flavor! (Side note: I did not drink it as it is chicken soup; this is said by those who did drink it.) Seafood combo with egg noodle (fish cake / imitation crab / shrimp / squid) - better broth than the pho but definitely massive amounts of msg - only real and edible seafood given are squid and shrimp Mango shake with boba $6.25 This was so interesting because on the menu it says "w/boba" so would not that mean WITH boba? Server literally asks if I want it with or without boba so of course I ask if there's a price difference since I am confused. No patience and didn't understand the question just wanted to move along and greeted customers walking by. - powder like consistency, definitely not fresh mango - you do see strings of "mango" - creamy - boba decent - personally would not recommend OVERALL - provides small, medium, large sizes for all noodle soups - generic toppings - cannot customize per problematic language barrier and ready made food - they allow a la carte but omg so expensive... one fried egg roll is $3.25 vs four fried egg rolls are $10.50 AMBIENCE - appreciate offerings of both indoor and outdoor seating - quick bite - nothing fancy - multiculturals are seen throughout the restaurant SERVICE - laughable but somewhat generic viet restaurants service (except male server is different in the sense that he bubbly greets every customer, and then the rest is the same--takes the order, walks away and never sees you again...sometimes same server serves the food but sometimes not like in this case) - asked for an extra cup and never given one... went up to the counter and just grabbed a soup to go container as a utilization of a cup (I wanted to share the drink.) LOCATION - between sushi joint and Korean joint - corner location - easily found - easy free parking Would I come again? No. read more

This restaurant has been my go too for years! It's busy almost every single time you go in! I think it was a perfect night to have soup after watching the Christmas lights!! Services was fast every single time and they're always very friendly. This time I didn't notice that the floor was pretty dirty, but with that being said, there was a lot of storms over the last couple days probably bringing in debris. It will not stop me from coming back to this establishment. The chicken pho is very tender and I love the egg rolls the sweet-and-sour sauce. If you were not feeling too well, this is a place you definitely want to hit up. Every time I eat from here, I'm always happy and full. You will not regret stopping by and having a bowl or whatever else you would like on the menu. In addition, don't forget the Vietnamese coffee one of my ultimate favorites. read more

Best pho ga in the East Bay. Having grown up in San Jose, vietnamese food is my favorite but I'm also really picky with it. Chicken pho is some of my favorite when done right, but many places in the Bay Area have lackluster broth, poor chicken quality or just miss the flavor. This place makes stellar pho ga and I can come here multiple times per week to dig in. It's my favorite big lunch if I happened to skip breakfast (and will cure any hangover or headache). They can customize their egg rolls to make them vegetarian and they're also perfect. Everyone else I take here also agrees their food is stellar. Don't miss out if you're in the area. read more

A couple of long time Yelper are going down the nostalgia road and reviewing Pho Lee Hoa Phat. This Pho shop was one of the oldest Vietnamese pho shop in Contra Costa county. Over 20 years old before Yelp. They have multiple locations now. The pho is still solid. Always liked their fried chicken wings. Fellow black badgers Victor G. and Harvey K. have made their way back to PLHP. The Pleasant Hill location is the original just down the street from DVC. The interior decor is the same. Service is ok. read more

Came here with the family. We were kindly seated right away and we were also a large group so that was fantastic. Everything we had here was delicious and tasty. Good flavors and good portions too. Their dessert drinks were also very good and fresh. Service was excellent. Pretty roomy inside with lots of seating, and they also had a few tables outside. Lots of parking and located in an outskirts mall next to Korean and Sushi house. Highly recommend. Cheers! read more

This is the best pho spot around. I've been going here for over a decade and never had any issues with them. Their pho is classic and delicious. I always dump all the sriracha I can in it with all the fixings. The broth is flavorful and fresh, but isn't overly watery. Their eggrolls (honestly any of them) are fantastic too, although sometimes come out hot as hell. Their waiters are generally nice and quick. You can get in and out within 45 minutes or less too. Highly recommend this spot. read more

We wanted to try a new pho spot and decided on this spot. It's hidden in a plaza surrounded by other Asian eateries which had us bookmarking while we ate, haha! Prices are reasonable and they offer 3 different sizes which is different from other pho places. They don't offer spicy broth which is a preference, but not a deal breaker. We ordered the fresh shrimp spring rolls and it came to our table wrapped in saran wrap. That was our first time seeing this. We immediately thought that these were not fresh. The paper wrap was rubbery and too sticky. We didn't finish these and the reason why I only leave 4 stars. The pho was yummy, though. We each almost finished our bowls. Oh, service was quick too. read more

This is an old school hole-in-the wall kind of place with fresh food and reasonable prices. I came here with a small group for lunch. I had a vegan bowl of pho with fried tofu and everything was fresh and flavorful. Others in my group had chicken, seafood or meat dishes and everyone was happy. Is this a fancy place? - No. But if you want good, fresh food at a very reasonable price, then perhaps you will like this place, too. Service was friendly and swift. Waiting to be back in the area to return. Note: You do have to find your way to the semi-hidden strip mall on the edge of Pleasant Hill to find Pho Lee Hoa Phat. Definitely worth trying! read more

Finally! Legit vietnamese food. Just moved out here from the Bay and it's been tough finding a good vietnamese restaurant. Their portion sizes are huge. Their pork chops... yuuummmmmyyy!!

I was in the area for work and wanted Vietnamese food so I found this hole in the wall/mom&pop shop that didn't disappoint! I'm not from this side of town so I didn't know what to expect, and surprisingly my pho dac biet with meatballs was super comforting! Pretty solid pho broth. I ordered hanh dam on the side (pickled vinegar onions) but it wasn't vinergary at all, it was just raw. So I'm unsure if they usually have it pickled or not since it's not something most normal customers would request, but I ate the raw onions anyway in my broth. Pho prices range between $11-13 which is not bad because it is usually $15-20 in the San Jose area so this place is good for your buck! read more

Everything was great! Definitely my new favorite Pho spots in the area makes sense why they have so many locations. The pho was good, had a lot of meat in it so if you are the type of person to get extra added in no need. Both spring roll and egg roll were delicious. And the bo kho was so good. Reminds me of something your mom or grandma would make you when you are home sick. Would 100% get everything again read more

Good pho for the area! I like to come here for a quick meal or take out! Food: #17 Pho Tai (Thin Slices of Steak): 4/5 Very average pho and doesn't come with a lot of meat. Tastes good but nothing special... #A1 Cha Gio (Fried Egg Roll): 5/5 Honestly some of the best egg rolls I've had from a pho restaurant! Stays crispy for a long time, but not overcooked. Decent amount of filling and very yummy and flavorful. Comes with fish sauce. #A3 Goi Cuon (Fresh Spring Roll): 5/5 Also very yummy! Tastes very fresh and the peanut sauce that comes with it is delicious! Service and ambiance: The service is alright. They are pretty fast, but not always the friendliest. Super casual pho spot!! And not super packed and loud. Price: Pricing is really good compared to other pho restaurants I've been to. Probably around $15 per person. They take credit card. Parking: Big parking lot :-) Will be back for soup!! read more

This is an OG pho spot-- been hearing about this spot for a while but only now getting around to trying it. Did not disappoint! Located in a strip mall alongside other Asian eateries. We walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and were seated immediately, despite being quite busy. Staff are as stoic as service is fast (dishes out in 10 min). The place overall is bit aged and rough around the edges (table was freshly wiped down and super wet when we got there), but clearly well-loved. SPRING ROLLS: $10 but they give you thiccc spring rolls with full pieces of shrimp and a small slice of chicken. + decent peanut sauce. BBQ CHICKEN RICE PLATE: Crisp and juicy :-) SO SAVORY doused in fish sauce, with a great bite. Ngl my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Rice is perfect. Can't complain. Comes with a cup of broth-- sweet, aromatic, and richly flavored. I would come here just for the soup tbh. My bf had equally high praise for his Seafood Pho. Surprised there aren't more reviews for a restaurant that's been a cornerstone in the county for so long. read more

Pho Lee Hoa Phat has hella locations all over Contra Costa and Solano and I gotta say, each one is consistent. This one is small compared to the others because it's tucked inside Seafood City, next to Chow King, but the food and service are there. Your order will come out quick, and you pay at the register at the end of your meal. I only mention this specifically because some of their locations require you to pay when you order. The prices at this location are actually cheaper than their other locations (Fairfield, I'm talking about you). My must haves are the pho, wings, nem nuong spring rolls, and egg rolls. You can not go wrong with their vermicelli or rice plates either. Portions are hefty and everything is shareable. They open early around 9:30 which is great when you want to eat breakfast, but don't want American breakfast foods. I've been to a few other Pho spots in the area and they're fine but Pho Lee will always be ol' reliable. read more

Authentic tasting but very poor quality. Pho and vermicelli padded out with a lot of noodles but with little protein.

Fast service. read more

Been by here a few times it's in a nice little plaza in pleasant hill filled with other restaurants and businesses. I really love that they have outdoor seating, it's nice for those who prefer to eat outside on sunny days :). I ordered a large number 1 and it was pretty good. The service was fast and the food was hot and yummy! i would say the pricing is pretty decent too for pho especially in pleasant hill/concord. I would say the only downside is that the portions aren't as big as other places for the same price. Otherwise, not problems as a whole and a great stop for some good pho! read more

Tried #28 beef stew with rice noodles very tasty, although a significant amount of fat floating and top of broth... fairly normal. I prefer a higher broth ratio. Good overall. Also had fried chicken wings they were alright, could have been brown a little more. This place is on par with other Vietnamese I've been to. read more
