This place is probably my favorite Pho place in the area! It's located inside a shopping center, and feels very authentic - the inside is decorated with a few pantings, with only a few tables, and the entire place seems to be family-run. They also have a small aquarium and a bearded lizard living there! The menu has a wide variety of types of pho, rice plates, appetizers, and drinks, and so far, I've enjoyed everything I've tried. I particularly like the oxtail pho, but it is a little pricey. The broth is very flavorful, and their meat and noodles are perfectly cooked every time. Service is really fast, as well; they often ask you if you're ready to order a few minutes after you're seated, and the food comes out quickly. read more

3.5 stars Located in a plaza with a supermarket. Got plenty of parking. Got the viet uncle watching his jam at the register, didn't notice us till we walked up to him. No frills, here's the menu, what can I get you. Finally found a spot that had bun bo hue. However, wasn't what I was expecting. Comes in a large Korean soondubu bowl, wasn't expecting that. Soup tasted bland didn't have any richness to it. The hot oil that makes the dish spicy looked to be there but you couldn't taste any of it. But they do load it up with good amount of protein. Would come again to try their other dishes. read more

I thought this place was just okay. I ordered beef tendon pho with meatballs. It only came with a single meatball cut into quarters. The noodles were al dente, which personally I didn't like. It was slightly too chewy for my preference. The broth comes served slightly sweet, which I like. I didn't have to wait too long for my order. Service is just okay. I went on a Sunday and they had a full house. When you're done you head to the front and cash out. I feel like there are better pho options, but this is still okay if you're hungry and need something quick. read more

The vegetarian pho was very flavorful, I've never had pho broth with so much depth! Service is minimal but efficient, sit down and order and it will be out within 10-15 minutes. The place had a unique atmosphere, with an aquarium and a bearded dragon. Very cool! My only complaint was it was quite dirty, the walls having caked on sauces and the table being a bit sticky. read more

BE FOREWARNED: once you come here, Pho is never the same. This is hands down the best Pho in the area, and the staff is very kind. You will not leave here hungry. There is beautiful ambient lighting, and a quiet peaceful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Pho Lee is tucked inside a shopping complex with other food and retail options, but it definitely stands out as one of my favorite pho spots. My friend An and I come here often--we always order appetizers and the pho with everything in it. The broth is rich and flavorful, and they're generous with the meat. I've had a great experience every time I've visited! read more

I ordered delivery because I'm a pho person, but I ended up curiously and happily enjoying their spring rolls. I've lived in a lot of different cities and countries, and food is my passion. The fact that they add something as a crunch to their spring rolls tells me that they're invested in the experience of food. read more

Pho was good, not bad but have definitely have had better, it's a bit on the sweeter side. Our table was on a weird slant so it was a bit annoying to sit at. Their water tastes weird, def from the tap but seems like maybe old pipes or something. There's also a pretty big lizard thing in a small tank that's depressing to look at because the tank looks way too small. read more

This place is tucked in on E38 in the Asia Town center. Had a chance to try it today and was not disappointed. Had Pho Tai ( rare beef noodle soup) and it was on point. There are some good spots in this area of Asia town for Pho. This is one of them. Give it a try! read more

The best bowl of Pho in town! This is the only place that I go to for Pho. The rest just didn't even come close. Pho broth is more flavorful in the morning and reminds of the sweet beefy and aromatic spices just like in Vietnam. It's a small family business so come and support when you can! read more

Pho Lee's - 8. Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

first time here, and I must say I enjoyed it. Cozy little place tucked in to the Asia-town Mall. I had the Bo kho, and it was deliciously rich and flavorful. Also had an oder of crispy pork spring rolls. They were very tasty and amazingly crispy. I got an order of Bun vermicelli to go with shrimp and short ribs. I had it the next day for lunch. It was good, but not great. The short ribs were sliced so thin that I would compare them to five sheets of paper in thickness. There were six pieces of this, which might make up one normal sized piece of short rib that you would expect to get several of in an order of this type. There was also no Thai basil at all in the dish. The place is obviously family run as there were three or four children between the ages of about five and 12 running around the whole time. I have no problem with that and it was kind of fun to watch them play. All in all, a good experience, and I will try it again. read more

Ambiance: This charming family-run place is tucked inside Asia Town Center. They have a bearded dragon chilling by the front door and, on time, they had a whole hog, roasted ducks, and incense set out as prayer shrine which my parents used to do growing up. The parents don't speak great english but their kids who look like teenagers do. They're very patient and helpful if you have questions about their menu and their prices are very reasonable. It's not the most professional place but you truly get a sense of the first-generation immigrant experience happening here which is something pretty cool to experience and support. Food: The pho here is one of the better options in Cleveland. The broth has a solid beefy flavor that isn't adulterated with sugar or black pepper like some other places although there might be a hint of tumeric I could do without. Their add-in veges including the sprouts, onions, and basil are fresh and the portions of beef, tripe, and noodles are well-proportioned. We have also had the cha siu banh mi which was a little light on the cha siu but otherwise was spot on in terms of the bread, do chua pickles, pate, etc. It tasted exactly like the banh mi I grew up eating in San Diego and LA. Like other reviewers might have noted, the menu is a little pared down compared to Superior Pho and Number One Pho nearby. You won't find shredded pork skin and steamed egg loaf in the rice dishes or cold cuts in your sandwiches but what they do offer, they generally do very well. If you've been unimpressed with the other Pho offerings in town, i would recommend giving this place a try. read more

This restaurant is inside the Asian town center. We walked in and were greeted by the owners children. Nice kids and seemed like they've been working at pho lees all their life... food was good. We got the brisket pho and the portions were great! The water seemed a bit off like it was straight from the sink in the back, but you can order different drinks. The service was fast. My girlfriend and I were in and out in less than 45 mins. Overall, a great little spot if you're looking to get a quick bite and head back on the road. Definitely don't come here for a romantic date night though.... I will be back! read more

Food was very flavorful and brought quickly to the table. Service is fine and attentive. I ordered too much so I had to take some home. Overall I rate it highly. I'd encourage you to try it out. read more

Pho Lee's is a hidden gem inside the AsiaTown mall. The mall itself is a little spooky and deserted, but the food is bomb! They have a variety of meats and is significantly cheaper than other Pho places in town! There's also a bearded dragon chilling in the corner that you can visit after your meal! My pho wasn't super warm when it came out, but the service is very friendly read more

Pho Lee's is one of the solid Vietnamese restaurants in Cleveland! Disclaimer: I have only tried this as take out. I like that the menu is simple but has the essentials that you would be looking for at a Vietnamese pho restaurant. I ordered the spring rolls and pho dac biet. The food comes nicely packaged and still fresh and warm. I like that they separate the soup and noodles/meats. The determining factor of a good bowl of pho is really the flavor of the broth and Pho Lee's has nailed it! It is super flavorful and fragrant. I also appreciate the hoisin sauce and sirarcha sauce they include on the side! As for the appetizers, they have egg rolls and spring rolls to choose from. The shrimp and pork spring rolls is nicely wrapped! I like the added crunchiness and texture that the fried crispy egg wrapper adds. The best part is the dipping sauce, which is super nutty and sweet and savory! Pro tip: get yourself a big noodle bowl so you can put your delicious bowl of pho together and eat it in the comforts of your home! read more

I finally tried Pho Lee's for the first time, and I'm not disappointed. I've been missing good Vietnamese food from California, and let me tell you, this place doesn't pale in comparison. I went safe and I tried the Pho Tai (Pho with rare beef) and Cha Gio (fried spring rolls-minced pork etc). +Pho Tai: Okay, so I'm weird and I don't usually like getting combination pho with all the fixings, I like my slices of rare beef. They package their takeout extremely well. The bean sprouts, jalapenos, mint, basil, lime etc. are all in one separate plastic baggie. The noodles, cilantro, and onions are in a take out container. And the broth is in sturdy plastic container. The rare beef slices are kept raw in a separate baggie. There's also one hoisin and one sriracha packet. The raw beef quality was so much better than I expected, I'm pleasantly surprised at how tender it was, just be careful not to overcook them. I got 10 slices of beef (I know, I know, I actually counted!) The broth is light, but still flavorful enough. $9.95 +Cha Gio: Comes with four, and served with Nuoc Mam (fish sauce based savory/sweet dipping sauce). They're good but I'm not sure if they're worth $2 a piece. I'll probably just stick to the Pho next time, but they're still yummy and remind me of home. $8 Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the take out packaging and quality of the food. I was able to heat up the Pho in my electric pot, so everything was super hot and delicious. Looking at some of the other Yelp reviews, they mentioned the owners were from California, so I'm not surprised at the quality of the food. Next time, I'm trying the bun bo bue- I'm excited. read more

This place is a hidden Gem!! The pho was FANTASTIC! Bahn mi and spring rolls were delicious! Everything we Got was hot, fresh and very authentic! The staff were very helpful and patient.

I would choose this place above any other place in the area any day! read more

Pho Lee's - Menu from 2/19/2023 - Vietnamese Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Pho Lee's is located inside Asian Town Center. The food was great. Honestly one of the best pho restaurants I have tried before. Unfortunately, the owners and the waiter were incredibly rude and showed obvious preferential treatment toward the table full of white men. My companion and I were ignored except for when the owners took our money and they quickly went straight back to sucking up. They barely even acknowledged the Black Doordash employee that came in to pick up food too. I expect better from a restaurant that came all the way from California to Cleveland, which has a large Black community. I had the bun bo hue. The broth is super spicy! That was the spiciest bun bo hue I've ever eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant. The side of the table had more chili oil, but I doubt anyone would need to add it in their bun bo hue. The meat portions were generous, and I even found a tasty pig knuckle in the bowl as well. My companion had a regular pho with beef that tasted great too. Not too salty and doesn't taste entirely of seasoning like green onion. Parking is plentiful and being seated six feet apart for avoiding COVID infections is easy given the amount of space the restaurant has. They're not busy during evenings because they're not advertising outside of Asian Town Center the same way Miga is. read more

Delicious pho and shrimp summer rolls. Especially loved the crispy rolls and the food was packed exceptionally well for carry out. Portions were generous and quality was great. Will surely go back....often. read more

Pho Lee's is about as authentic as it gets - located inside of an Asian shopping center, it doesn't jump right out at you, but it should. The food is delicious and served quickly while piping hot. The restaurant does not have many tables - I suspect they do more take out business than dine in - but the inside is clean and nicely decorated. It is clearly a family-run business. We ordered two Sunkists - they serve soda in the can - the Pho Tai Chin (rare steak and brisket), the spicy beef noodle soup, and the crispy egg rolls. Everything was phenomenal. The soups came with Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños and limes on the side so that we could adjust the spice and flavor to our liking. The table had hot sauce and hoisin sauce for the meat. The egg rolls were hot, crispy, and delicious! The food was large for the price and very filling. Great comfort food. We will definitely come back. read more

I've tried a few pho spots in Cleveland and Pho Lee's is one of my favorites. I have both dined in and ordered delivery from various apps, and it hits the spot every time. The staff is friendly and the service is super fast, and their menu has every combination that I would ever want to order, but isn't so large that it's overwhelming. My favorite is the P5 (pho tai nam sach). When I got this order in my delivery, the individual components were nicely separated, including the raw meat slices, and their pho always is a very generous serving. Their goi cuon (Vietnamese spring rolls) are also so fresh and comes with a great sauce. Most recently, I came with a friend and we also split an order of cha giao (crispy egg rolls) at the recommendation of the waiter and it was very good - I was worried I wasn't going to like the filling but all of the ingredients ended up working so well together. Definitely going to be a staple spot for me as the weather gets colder - I recommend you give it a try if you're looking for a nice bowl of pho! read more

Pho is one of those culinary foods that must surely prove that their is indeed a deity sitting in the heavens and that deity must look upon us fondly and truly love us to give us such a wonderful culinary gift as pho. From the wonderfully prepared broth, simmered long to give such depth, to the noodles, protein and vegetables, pho is truly a treat. Pho Lee's offers a fantastic pho. One that touches your soul and whispers to your heart. Service is good. While it is not a fancy place, you are not here for ambiance, but to yourself in the depths of a bowl of pho. read more

Pho Lee's is my favorite pho restaurant in Cleveland. Their pho is pretty consistent, and is so satisfying on a cold day. I usually get the P5 as I love tripe. Only downside is that I wish they provided more herbs on the side. I've tried the rice plates here as well and they hit the spot, and come with a side of pho broth. Service is quick and efficient, and the tables are stocked with condiments for you to add to your liking. I love coming here for a quick meal! read more

This was some of the most authentic Vietnamese pho I've found ever other than my favorite spot back home in northern va. The broth was rich and flavorful. The meats were abundant and prepared perfect. The noodle to meat to broth ratio was excellent. Some of the most comforting food I've found in Ohio to date. Went here while on staycation in Cleveland. It was a bit tricky to find as it's in the Asia town center with the Asia food company grocery store tucked away (Miega- I'll review as well a Korean BBQ is upstairs.) The pork egg rolls were delicious despite I preferred mine with hoisin and not the peanut sauce provided. The deep fried egg rolls are out of this world and the sweet dipping sauce is the best!!! Loved all the fixings and that you can add to customize. I got the P3 with added onions, green onions, and meatballs. Atmosphere is generic and maybe a bit of an eyesore but trust me the food makes up for the lack of decor. read more

I've been blowing Pho Lee's up as "my favorite pho joint in all of CLE" to anyone who will listen to me, so this review is long overdue. They've been one of my favorite spots to get takeout from during COVID. I stick to the classics and always order a Pho Tai Chin (noodle soup w/ well-cooked brisket and rare beef) and a Banh Mi. Everything is beyond fresh, packed securely (no soggy deliveries, here!), and you can get 2-3 meals out of this. If you're a fan of meat, Pho Lee definitely gives you the meat. They don't skimp on it in the soup or the sandwich - which is notable compared to other pho places in town. The pho broth is rich and flavorful and needs minimal hoisin/sriracha doctoring. This little spot in Asia Town Center has been various pho spots throughout the years, but Pho Lee's is the best one yet. Go get yourself a nice, fragrant, flavorful bowl and start slurping ASAP. read more

I didn't expect to like Pho Lee's so much. I am a bit of a Pho snob and it's easy for me to be critical, especially in Cleveland since our smaller asian community can cause us to be less critical than if we were Vietnam or a huge city like Los Angeles or Houston. However, I have been to the majority of all vietnamese restaurants in Cleveland several times and will say this Pho is the best value in Cleveland (yes, even better than Superior Pho) and so if you haven't tried this place, go! You can thank me later. read more

I came here today with some friends and we all enjoyed some tasty fresh Vietnamese food! The store is in a dark hallway in the Asian Town Center Shopping mall and looks a little dingy, but is authentically Vietnamese. They've got the classic shop owner's kid running around (he's so cute and helpful though!), fish tanks, the drinks fridge, everything. All the tables are topped with utensils, sriracha, hoisin, and tương ớt sa tế. Moving onto the food, I ordered a bowl of N1, bún bò huế to warm up. I was surprised it came in a clay pot bowl because they normally aren't cooked in that but still cool! The vermicelli was cooked well, and the meat was so soft and tender. There was pig hock, beef shank, tendon and chả lụa. I also usually love pork blood cubes in this which they didn't have, but I understand that they wouldn't put that in here since we're in Ohio LOL. The dish also came with shredded banana blossom and cabbage, bean sprouts lime, and thai basil. Wish they had rau răm/Vietnamese coriander but again, understandable! The only real complaint I have about this dish is that it wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked so I had to put a lot of sa tế sauce in it to bump it up to my preferred spiciness and to up the lemongrass factor. This would be good for people who aren't tolerant of hot foods though and I still found it very satisfying in the end! The meat was really cooked to perfection. One of my friends ordered N4, bún chả giò + sườn bò Đại Hàn and demolished it. She complained the beef was a little tough, but the meal was still delicious with soft noodles in flavorful nước chấm/dipping sauce. Another ordered their phở and also cleaned it, though didn't have much to say except that it was good. It also came with the standard toppings of thai basil and bean sprouts. Overall, I'd recommend this place for some reliably good Vietnamese food! Also fun fact, there's a challenge to finish a HUGE bowl of pho for $50, and if you finish, it's free! read more
