Came in for on a Monday about noon, place was pretty empty with only 2 tables with customers. Once I sat, they bought me water and menu right away. Shrimp Spring with added Grilled Pork was good and the peanut sauce had good flavor went great with the chili oil they had on the table. House Combo Pho with Rare Filet Mignon, Franks, Fatty Brisket, Tendon & Meatballs was pretty tasty after I added the Hoisin Sauce & Chili Oil. The broth was just average but still good. I would come back!!!

I have eaten at a lot of Pho places around this area (pho Saigon, pho auntie 7, Le solei, joes pho, pho an hoa) and I would say this place leaves you feeling good afterwards. It's not too salty so expect a little bit of a bland flavor but the good thing is that they have this sauce that looks like lemongrass and chili pepper. The place is clean and spacious! They offer lots of meat in their pho! They make bomb avocado shake! Really nice mom and pop shop! And the service is attentive!

Great friendly service. A solid place to get your pho cravings satisfied. However, I recommend getting the Banh Xeo/crepe. It's always come out crispy! They don't skimp on the meat or fillings and always give you large portions of veggies and sauce.

First off: great customer service. Staffs are polite and friendly. Family like atmosphere in restaurant. A few long bench for large group. We went for seafood noodles and lemongrass chicken. Lemongrass chicken I was expected grilled but it came stir fried. A little disappointed but it tasted good. The seafood egg noodles was good according to mom. It was not extremely salty like other pho we went to. The most favor dish is crispy crepes. Overall, first experience is very good. Here are pics for your eye curiousity; however you will have to stop by for your taste bud

I recently visited A1 Pho in San Leandro and ordered the combination pho, and I was beyond impressed! The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with a depth that really sets it apart from other places I've tried. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, with generous portions of brisket, tendon, and tripe, making each bite a satisfying experience. The noodles were soft but held up well in the broth, and the fresh herbs added that perfect aromatic touch. What I also loved was how clean and cozy the restaurant felt, creating a relaxing atmosphere for a meal. The service was fast and attentive, and they made sure everything was just right. From what I've read in other reviews, many customers rave about their consistency and high-quality dishes, and I couldn't agree more. A1 Pho is definitely a hidden gem, and it's clear that they put a lot of care into their food. I will absolutely be back for more! If you're in the area and craving pho, this spot is a must-try!

Food for the soul. After being in the Bay area for three years, my husband and I stumbled upon a a very delicious Vietnamese restaurant that reminds me so much of a local place we frequent back home in SoCal. After finishing a day of looking for a proper suit, my husband I planned to return back to SF, but both our stomachs started to grumble. After looking up spots in San Leandro, we saw this while driving and decided to stop by based on the reviews that their broth was as the kids say "fire & chef's kiss"! We were greeted by the new owners who were very friendly and made us feel at home. I love the vibe of this place. It is low key and has a very family/community feel. We were seated near the window which was great because it was a very nice day and the restaurant is across an elementary school and pre-school, so you know family/community vibes all around. We ordered the Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef w/ Thick Rice noodle soup) & the Bánh Xèo Thường (Crispy Rice Crepe). O-M-G. The BROTH. The reviews were correct in that the broth is to die for. It is not oily and has the right amount of spice and flavor. The beef and sausage (has peppercorn embedded, yum!) in the Bún Bò Huế was tender & the noodles were chewy, which I loved. The Bánh Xèo Thườn was crispy and the filling of shrimp & pork was plentiful! At the end of our meal, the owner gave us some dessert which again reminded me of a dessert my mother-in-law has made in the past. It was cooling, light, and tasty. My husband enjoyed the meal & starred the restaurant on his list. I am so glad we stumbled upon A1 Pho, it definitely made me feel as if I was home with family and the food was amazing!

Get the wonton noodle with egg noodle, the dumpling had a thick beefy chew, which is rewarding with the soft dumpling skin. The pho is decent, but a little too much anise, which blocks the beef flavor. The fried wings were a little too much oily crisco batter and no crunch. The lemonade was perfectly a compliment to spices. Worth the trip away from popular favorites like Joe's pho, because there is only the family here, no abused immigrants.

This was near my dentist's office so we decided to stop by . Easy to locate since it's at a corner and had huge parking lot on both sides . Lots of seats and tables to choose from and was greeted with a smile from I guess the new owners. Orders were promptly taken and had suggestions given as well. Food came out pretty fast. We even got a free plate bc it was sent to us by accident and it was smackin fried shrimp. parties were raving about the egg rolls, fried shrimp and fried cake appetizers. Pho bro try was homemade tasting and beef stew was fire . Thai tea and real fruit smoothies were a great touch . Definitely would stop by this spot when in the area
