We like to order to go, since being seniors we cannot finish a whole bowl at the restaurants. Phở Thìn offers many authentic Vietnamese delicacies. My to go dish is always phở, a typical Vietnamese confort dish. But i also like the crab fried rolls here, nem cua bể, and they do it especially well here. Sometimes I would order bún chã Hà Nội too. Service is always friendly. Big dining room, with beautiful orchids. Easy parking, they have their own parking lot. read more

Great food, nice people. Stopped by pretty late on a Saturday night, within the hour they closed, after spending hours at the nearby pet hospital with one of our cats and in need of a hearty meal. The place was nearly empty. They have a pretty large menu here, similar to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but they also had specials I'd never seen on other menus, which seem to change out regularly. I ordered the vermicelli with BBQ chicken and an egg roll, which was the perfect amount of food. The chicken was grilled to perfection but still juicy and tender, and the egg roll was crunchy but not overly greasy. I left satisfied with my meal and feeling full with good, healthy food in my stomach. Service was fast and especially given the late hour, and the meal was simple, straightforward, and delicious. No complaints, no issues with anything. Would return again. read more

This restaurant serves Hanoi-style food from northern Vietnam, so I expected the pho to taste different from southern-style bowls and it did. The broth was clean and flavorful, and it brought me back to my time in Hanoi. Simple, but really delicious. The restaurant is large and clean, with a calm, relaxed vibe. Service was excellent. I came with my grandma, and the owner helped her through the door, which I really appreciated. I've only tried the pho so far, but I'll be back to try the bun cha! read more

There's a parking lot, which makes coming here very convenient. Staff were friendly and the service was quick. I ordered the rare steak pho, and it came with fresh noodles. The noodles were soft, springy, and had great texture. The broth was flavorful and comforting. The only downside for me was the beef, which was tenderized and gave it a different texture than the usual rare steak you'd expect in pho, and I wasn't a big fan of that. It's a different style of pho and personally wasn't a fan of. Overall, still a solid bowl of pho. read more

Prices are high but the portions are huge. They also have a pretty expansive menu giving you lots of options between soup noodles, bun, and rice plates. First time we got two soups - I'd recommend skipping the special rib pho as the rib was kinda dry and not worth, but the soup itself was good. Went back more recently and got a bahn mi which was also expensive and more meh. Don't think they use paté on their traditional sandwich which is a no go for us. Well still come back for the convenience and many options though. read more

Packed on a weekend as expected. Small private parking. Walked in and notice a lot of Vietnamese customer which is a plus- that's when you know the food is good. It was packed but we got seated right away. However we waiting some time for our in our order. Removing a star for multiple reasons- it's kinda on the pricier side. I got a coconut juice and the literally cut it just for the straw! Most places cut through so you can also scoop out the coconut meat. I'll attach a photo for reference. Crispy seafood noodles were just okay. The sauce wasn't as flavorful. Order a Thai tea coconut juice and a kids plain pho and it was over $60 Their chili sauce is so good! Fresh and spicy! I would come back to try their beef pho and other special dishes. They offer banh cuon as a weekend special. I also want to come back to try their BBH Also a banh mi cost over $11 which is a lot. read more

I lived in San Jose for a long time and recently moved to the East Bay. I've tried most of the Vietnamese spots in San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, and Oakland. I was excited to try Pho Thin Hanoi since they serve Northern style pho, which I've had plenty of times both here and in Vietnam. Unfortunately, this place just didn't hit the mark. I came on a weekday around 2 PM and was the only customer there. The broth was super bland and watered down, which is disappointing because that's the heart of any good pho. I ordered brisket and beef balls. The brisket was a little tough and the beef balls were just okay. For the price they're charging, the quality just isn't there. One thing I'll give them is the presentation. The pho looks nice with the julienned green onions. They also make their own chili sauce which reminds me of sambal, but they don't have Sriracha. I get that they're going for authenticity, but at the end of the day you're in a neighborhood where people expect certain basics. If you're not going to deliver strong flavors, at least let people doctor it up how they like. Overall it wasn't terrible, but definitely not worth the price or a return visit for me. There are way better options in the area. read more

Pho Thin Hanoi - Pho brisket and beef ball - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

As you can tell from the name, this place has Hanoi style pho, which typically means they put a lot of green onions and the broth (in my experience) is richer. And usually in Hanoi style, they don't give you the basil and sprouts but this place does, which is a plus for me since I like that, even with non-pho dishes. I tried their signature pho, which was delicious. And the beef was tender but wished they were bigger slices and more of them. I do like the interior, which has a classic American diner feel. Comfy. Makes me wonder what it was before. Given how tasty the pho was, I'm eager to try their other dishes. read more

I can't believe I had never heard of this place! I came here with a couple people and we ordered a variety of things - broken rice with short rib, broken rice with pork, and the ha noi special grilled pork vermicelli. The broken rice was super yummy and those orders came with a bowl of good soup! The Ha Noi Special was expensive but it was super filling and had a variety of meat. Service was pretty quick and they also have a parking lot which made it super convenient! I will definitely be back to try more things. read more

Started with the pork spring roll (5/5) delicious juicy flavorful meat inside a fresh spring roll. Highly recommend KBBQ Ribs Broken Rice Plate (4/5) Marinated and delicious. If you like KBBQ ribs definitely try it! Meat may be a bit tough because that's just the way KBBQ ribs are. Very tasty. BBQ Beef Banh Mi (5/5) Best Banh Mi I've ever had. Idk what they do to the meat but it's so juicy and flavorful. They packed it with fresh veggies and a warm, toasted roll that had the perfect crunch. Highly recommend I love this place. It may be a bit pricier (for me) but totally worth it. This is my favorite Vietnamese place in the Bay. I also like to go to Clancy's Ice Cream Parlor afterwords bc I like being a fatass. read more

We were browsing around Yelp to see what piques our interest, and one of the restaurants that popped up on the front search page was Pho Thin Hanoi. Their dishes looked kinda different than the usual Pho places and they market themselves differently with "Hanoi-style pho with ginger broth". This piqued my partner's interest because he never had pho this way (nor did I, but other dishes looked more interesting to me). It's local, so we decided to give it a go. They have their own parking lot so ample amount of space. We probably arrived around early quarter of 6PM, so when we got there, it was surprisingly empty. This place is indeed very spacious with plenty of seatings both big and small. Between my partner and I, we ordered a Nem Cuon to share. My partner ordered the Bun Bo Hue. And I originally wanted to try the Banh Cuon Special, but apparently, they only serve that on the weekends and they didn't have that flat noodle I was looking for. They owner came along and highly recommended the Bun Cha Na Hoi Special, which I think she said was similar, and really good, so I ended up getting that to try instead. My partner also wanted to try their Che (Thai style). In hindsight, I probably should have asked for another minute and looked up what was recommended rather than just go with the flow. I would have probably enjoyed my meal here more if I chose something I know I would like. Food came relatively quickly since we were one of the earlier parties. For a Friday night, it does seem to get a good amount of foot traffic and parties trickled in while we waited and ate. I liked their Nem Cuon! The crispy wonton wrapper added a nice crunchy texture. The pork sausage was seasoned well so it was flavorful! As for my Bun Cha Na Hoi Special - I liked some aspects of it, but not all of it. The crispy roll was nice. Super stuffed with ingredients. A tad bit on the oily side, but it was crunchy and flavorful. It kinda looked like there was some shredded crab meat or something, but I'm not exactly sure what it was. I also enjoyed the meat patty. Super flavorful, juicy, and almost like a softer version of a meatball, but delicious. They definitely season their proteins really nicely, so I think their grilled dishes would be tasty. However, I didn't like how fatty the grilled pork was. A few pieces looked like it was almost composed of 50% fat. I know a lot of people like the fattiness for the flavor, but I don't prefer it, so that part didn't appeal to me. Their veggies and herbs were also meh. Not the most fresh - some were wilted, some had brown spots on them, and the pickled veggie was just a tad bit too sour, though the pickled ones were probably better than the ones served as is. On the other hand, my partner quite enjoyed his Bun Bo Hue. It's quite different from the ones you find elsewhere. The soup had a pleasant ginger-y taste to it and it was light. It also didn't come with pork blood, so it didn't have the usual red tint to the soup. The rib was fall-off-the-bone tender. Lastly, the Che (Thai style). This was okay. All the ingredients included in the mix was jelly-like, so there wasn't much variety. I believe they also just mixed it with coconut cream, so the drink was pretty heavy for something I think is meant as a dessert. It wasn't exactly refreshing either, which I feel other Che has. Service was lukewarm. Like a lot of other reviews stated, the price is quite high for what it is. They do market themselves differently though, which could be a selling point. This place won't probably end up being my go-to, but if I'm feeling for something different, I might just end up back here to try their Broken Rice plates. read more

Honestly, my dad and grandpa really like going to this place but I think it's a bit overpriced for pho. I like that they give the option of thick noodles (banh pho tuoi) as some places don't offer it. I'm not saying this place is bad, I can finish most of my bowl but eventually I will stop because I don't like the taste of my broth. I feel like I can taste ginger or something else about it is a bit off and that's not something I am into, but again, my parents have not made the same complaints. I have ate from here with take out (multiple times) and once at the restaurant and think it can be more enjoyable if the broth was better in both instances. The service was quick and the restaurant is quite spacious - inside and outside. read more

Love this place! This is me and my dad's go to Vietnamese spot in San Leandro. We typically go during lunch on the weekdays and always greeted very warmly by the hosts.

Overall nice ambiance with ample seating. It used to be a Mexican restaurant. Menu has a lot of variety with highlights being Hanoi style pho soup which has lots of green onions and ginger. The bun bo hue was okay. It seemed to use the same pho broth as the base. Okay quantity of meat, but very little noodles. The pho bowl also had very little noodles. The broth was good. Overall service was a little lacking as I think they forgot to bring us any water until we asked them halfway through our meal. Prices are on the higher side. Definitely order extra noodles if you are hungry! read more

Delicious Hanoi-style pho! Came in pretty late at around 8:30pm but service was still quick and attentive.

First time at this Vietnamese restaurant serving a variety of dishes including Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho. The owner, Anthony took our order and explained they differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs and sauce. With an extensive menu I decided on the #78 Hanoi Special Grilled Pork Vermicelli ...the owner said "it's a special dish we used to only serve on the weekends"...it's similar to bun (rice vermicelli salad) . DIFFERENCE: :: Herbs - no cilantro or the standard mint but shiso (tía tô), and fish mint (diếp cá) with lettuce for making a wrap. The herbs have a stronger flavor and a slight fish taste. :: Vietnamese egg roll (Nem Rán) - made with rice paper (vs wheat wrappers) which the owner says a brand he gets from Vietnam...filling of pork AND crab meat :: Dipping sauce was less sweet and more like a broth Savory grilled pork (thịt nướng) and pork patty (Bun Cha) were both flavorful and delicious with noticeable garlic and tad of sweetness. Accompanied by rice noodles, julienne cucumber and pickled carrots and daikon. A refreshing and delicious dish and will get this over the Southern style vermicelli on a next visit. Place is casual but clean, spacious with friendly, welcoming and helpful service. I recommend the #78 Special Grilled Pork dish that's hidden under the Special - Egg Noodle - Pasta section (4th page of the menu). Pricing is in line with other like places but Pho Thin Hanoi is very generous with their portions that you'll have leftover. Friend enjoyed her chicken bun, Thai iced tea and the wings were nice and crispy! Plenty of lot parking read more

I've past this place a few times and decided to try it out. I got the 78 since they were out of the 79. I thought it was pretty good. I ate it with my hands, I wish I had rice paper since i ended up using the lettuce to eat it as a wrap. The waitress told me to "put in the bowl" of fish sauce but I didn't know if she meant to dip it or to add it and eat it straight from the bowl. Either way, it was pretty good and filling. Only comment is that they don't clear their tables quickly. I saw leftover bowls on empty tables for a long time even though it was pretty empty when I was there. read more

We found this place by accident. We were looking for a pho place around the area. We found one on Yelp that looked pretty good. As we were driving to that place, we passed by this place, which had a grand opening sign. We made a U turn and ended up dining inside. It didn't look inviting on the outside, but inside tells us different. It was roomy, the staff was all friendly, the place was clean, and the price was right. The menu had many variations. Their pho items are by far the best I've tried in the Bay Area. It had good quality meat and the broth is not oily. The bowls are huge! The meal is plentiful, and the flavors had the wow factor. The owner is very nice and guaranteed us that we would be coming back after we placed our order. He was that confident how good their food compares to other Pho place nearby. He was right! We can't wait to go back. read more

As a whole, my group definitely enjoyed their food and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely come back here! 5 stars! read more

It's a very conservative restaurant based on what you see at the table. With a very western layout though, you can feel things are a bit far out. What they do different is the pickled onions served on the side. It adds some juicy sweet sourness that you don't normally get at most pho dineries. The broth here is light, complemented with the fresh greens and ample amount of meats. I wouldn't go too crazy about the beef rib they serve here since it's mostly bone.. but overall it's nice to have another choice in Vietnamese restaurants in the area. read more

Layout very similar to Nick's. We sat ourselves at one of the open tables. Water and menu was brought out quickly. We ordered the shrimp roll, the pho and the dry vermicelli noodle bowl. The shrimp rolls were premade as it was very cold when it brought to the table. The pho was ok, standard pho and broth with a huge rib in it. The vermicelli noodle I got was the beef with shrimp and egg roll. Was surprised that it was short ribs instead of the thin slices of grilled beef. Pretty good size bowls. Came with fish sauce and fish sauce was definitely homemade of their version. It's different than what I'm used to but still wasn't too bad. Fast service, great place to get a steaming bowl of pho to help with the cold weather. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I just discovered Pho Thin Ha Noi, a newish restaurant, when searching for a spot that stays open late (and by "late" I mean serves after 8 p.m.). Although there's no shortage of Vietnamese spots around San Leandro, the food quality, friendly service, stress-free parking and pleasant dining environment made me eager to return. Both times I've been there, I ordered a broken rice plate. (I love the generous serving of rice.) San Leandro Pho Thin Ha Noi's hours are extensive: 10 a.m. to 10 pm., Tuesday through Sunday. (This is the second Pho Thin Ha Noi; the first is in Milpitas.) Pho Thin Ha Noi is a comfortable, low-key spot for a reliably delicious meal: Service is fast and eager to please. Servings are generous and tasty. Parking is easy in the restaurant's private lot. Seating is plentiful in the large and clean space, which has a diner-like feel. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. read more

Another great find. Quality/Quantity - Spring Rolls BBQ Chicken - Fresh, the chicken in the rolls were still piping hot. And generous portions. Well, this appetizer was $11.99, so it should be of generous portions. Broken Rice with Shredded Pork, Steam Egg Cake, BBQ Chicken, Fried Shrimp Cake, Pork Meat Ball and Housemade Fish Sauce - Wow, this dish was so good. And with generous portions, I was only able to eat half. My daughter even sampled one bite of each and I still had half the entree left over. It will be her dinner tomorrow. Oh, and this dish comes with complimentary soup which was nothing special, sorry. Vermicelli with BBQ Pork and Egg Roll - Again, generous portions. My daughter was also only able to eat half of this. My wife said her pork tasted better than our chicken. Well I dipped everything in the housemade fish sauce, so it all tasted the same to me. All good. Vermicelli with BBQ Chicken - How was my wife able to finish her entree??? I'm impressed. So is she sure my daughter's pork dish tasted better? Atmosphere - This location was previously an American dinner (Nicks Dinner). Good size location, good decor. Table, booth, and counter seating. Two clean restrooms, one for men, one for women. Plenty of private parking, be safe and do not leave any valuables, see picture. Open 6 days a week from 10am to 10pm, closed Mondays. Service - 5 stars. Very attentive. Patient as they had an extensive menu and we did not know what we wanted today. They checked on us a few times. Politely showed us the self service to-go containers. They also told us that we had to go to the counter to pay. BTW, they speak very limited English. Price - $76 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your two locations and 6 months of success here so far. Are you new owners...? As Yelp has you here since October of 2022...? Anyways, we will be regular customers. read more

Second time coming to Pho Thin Hanoi. The first time I came with my wife, we had the pho combo and a rice plate combo. I just really remembered the "fresh noodles" were good, and brisket... OMG the brisket was super tender my first time there. However, I also remembered the broth was little bland and the fish sauce for the rice plate was not the usually sweet fish sauce taste. Came back again and got the #4 Pho Tai Gau, which is just pho with fatty brisket only because I was really blown away with it last time. This time the brisket was not how I remembered it, it was thicker pieces thrown in and less tender. Still decent, but I would go back to the meat combo pho next time. The place is clean, it's old Nick's Diner. It's funny because I've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant in a diner format LOL, but it works. There's plenty of seating and a private lot. Wished they would have the tv's on. The owner, Anthony came by and talked to us a little bit. That was nice and very informational. Found out that this is actually Northern Vietnamese style food. Which would explain why the broth taste different and the fish sauce is not how I'm use to it typically. I feel like you came here understanding that this different from the usually Southern Vietnamese style we're used to, it'll make more sense. Two quick things to mention: 1) The pho is expensive almost $20 for it, but the bowl size is justifiable. It's just kinda big and you'll be full for sure 2) You can pick the regular pho noodles or their fresh noodles, there's no price change for picking their fresh noodles read more

Pho Thin Hanoi - #4 Pho Tai Gau - Vietnamese Near Me - San Leandro, California

Dined here a few times and I would say the portions here are HUGE. Sure it may seem "expensive" but the bowls are very big and have a lot of meat. Bit of a northern twist on BBH, they add a lot of ginger and green onions. There is a beef rib if you get the special bowl. Starting to like northern style pho more, it's less fragrant, but broth is bolder and more savory instead of sweet. One if not the only place in San Leandro that has "broken rice" instead of using regular rice like other places. Give this place a try! They have northern specials like banh cuon on the weekend too. read more
