Feeling under the weather today and thought an order of beef pho sounded like the perfect elixir. Placed an order on GrubHub, and half an hour later it was cancelled because the restaurant never acknowledged it. No reason. They just didn't take the order. I'm fairly good with first impressions, and this was a total fail. I won't be ordering from here again.

Solid take out though lacking some heat and complex flavors. We ordered the egg rolls, bbq pork, coco chicken and pad kee mao. Egg rolls were perfectly fried and large. The pad kee mao used mini shrimp-thought we were going to get tail-on prawn like most other places. The coco chicken was good but lacked sauce and needed chili/heat. The bbq pork was perfectly tender and juicy-our favorite entree. Delivery was super quick but not sure the food was good enough to order again.

Fantastic did and service! Hazelnut Thai tea was an interesting spin on an old classic. Best egg rolls I've ever had. Crispy rice salad was irresistible. All their soups are big on flavor and very generous.

So grateful for a local noodle restaurant with such flavorful broth. Their pho is a little different but still tasty. I go here for the vegetarian options, khao soy, and khao poon. Their vegetarian egg rolls aren't filled with cabbage like other places either.

We ate at Noodles Pho Me regularly pre-pandemic, and have ordered takeout several times from them since pandemic life began. SPEED / SERVICE - During the pandemic, their speed of delivery has been second to none. The first time I ordered delivery from them I excitedly exclaimed "I'm never cooking again!" when it arrived at our door 15-20 minutes after I called the order in. FOOD - Simply delicious. Our favorites are the Khao Poon and Egg rolls. Noodles Pho Me is our go-to spot for Pho in San Leandro. They are a gem to our community and their food is delish. If you are looking for a unique Laotian Noodle Soup this place is a treat.

I've always wanted to try this place and so happy I did! The flavors in the food were amazing! I sometimes get iffy about ordering to go and think the food may not be as fresh and flavorful but boy was I wrong here! We ordered: Khao soy (noodle soup) Nah Khao (crispy rice lettuce wraps) Pad Kee Mao (thick drunken noodles) Fried Chicken (spicy fried chicken) Everything was so good with so much flavor! Beware the friend chicken is SPICY! I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to super spicy stuff so if you're a fan of spicy you'll probably enjoy these! Will definitely be visiting again very soon!

FOOD: (5/5) Unique and comforting soups, solid dishes all around! AMBIENCE: (4.5/5) Inside is clean, we ate outside this time around. SERVICE: (5/5) Generous and friendly VERDICT: Love it! One of my favorites, coming back whenever I find myself in SL. Whenever me and my bf are in SL, we always crave Noodles Pho Me. We've been waiting for outdoor dining since we live far and takeout isn't the best option for us. This time, we were the only ones for outdoor dining and had the dine-in only lunch special for $10.99 (any noodle soup + side order of either: lao sausage, chicken wings, or chicken satay.) We got the Pho Soup (similiar to Viet Pho) and Khao Poon (coconut-y sweet), which garlic wings and lao sausage+ along with an order of Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle). Khao Poon Soup base : (5/5) Not too sweet, very aromatic, and best soup base that day! Pho Soup : (5/5) I love Viet pho and this soup base is a level up for me! Super aromatic and tasty. Fresh bean sprouts and super filing even for a small. Garlic Wings: (5/5) First time trying it and they full of lemongrass flavor We asked for them to be spicy and it was great and falling off the bone! Lao Sausage: (4/5) Solid and a great way to try Laotian food, love the aromatics included, wished it was a bit spicier for me. Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle): $12.99 (4/5) Great flavor. I'm used to the fatter noodles used in the Thai dish and these were skinnier which is not my personal preference. We inquired about a half size of the dish and unfornately they did not do that. However, we were surprised to see a discount on the bill for a full entree, very sweet of them. Thai Iced Tea: $3.25 (4.5/5) Was suggested the hazelnut flavoring and I liked the slight variation, would get it again if I'm in the mood for a drink!

My friend keeps telling me to come check this place out. I live in Hayward, so it's a little bit of a drive. I decided to check it out today and I ordered Beef Pho. The broth was so flavorful!! Like yum and they gave me a good amount of meat! It was sooo good! It was worth the little 25 min roundtrip to pick up. Yum! My heart goes out to all the small businesses right now. I hope you guys continue to get support! They made great food, good portions, and they were very nice.

Excellent broth. It's clear they took their time with it.

We've eaten here twice. Both times, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Both times, they got our order wrong but were quick to fix the issues. We've tried their beef pho with beef broth and with coconut milk. Hubby prefers the coconut milk. I had the chicken & tofu pho with vegetable broth that I really liked. We also enjoyed their chicken spring rolls - their HUGE!
This is one of my favorite places to go when I want comfort food, especially good soup. The Khapoon is sooo good, I love the taste and flavors. I have had it at other places, and their version of it here it the BEST, no where else compares. It is a coconut chicken soup that is food for the soul. I am a regular that loves the family vibe here, the Laotian sausage is another favorite of mine. Really fresh and herby homemade taste. The roti is super yummy too, I always complete my order with a Thai tea, it hits the spot everytime.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place. I've dined here a few times before the shelter in place took effect last year and loved it. They start by bringing you a sample of the broths of soup that they make. The first time I had the Khao Poon. The second time I had the Pho. My bf had the Khao Soy. All three are really good. The chicken wings are smackin too. Another time I brought another one of my girlfriends who is also a foodie. We ordered so much food and each dish she said was really good and very authentic. Mostly recently, I ordered for pick up during SIP and was impressed by their protocols. You have to ring the doorbell outside for an employee to come service you. There is plexiglass and a table with antibacterial gel at the entry. They employee had a mask on the entire time. My favorite dish from there is the Nam Khao aka fried rice ball salad. I ordered it sweet this time and could not stop eating it. I was concerned the portion size was small, but I couldn't even finish it. I wish they included more lettuce as I always run out while eating this dish. Luckily I had some one hand. Not that I would let that stop me from shoveling it in my mouth. I definitely would recommend this place if you're never had Laotian food.

Alrighty we all the know the Bay Area weather has gotten cold. This is the perfect place to get your cozy pho. Yes they have outside dining but you may have to call for reservations. I'm not sure if they have outdoor heaters.I got the medium beef pho for take out. The medium plate was just enough for a fulfilling meal. It's very rich in flavors. Perfect seasoning. I did have to add the little container of chili sauce they gave and a extra lemon for my spicy not to spicy liking. Also I do like my pho super hot. I did have to microwave the pho before preparing the condiments. Now, they even better part. The iced Thai tea. I wish I knew how good it was going to be so I could have gotten a large. It was just beautifully made. I did taste a hint of vanilla nonetheless it was good and silky.
