Pho Lee Hoa Phat I

Fresh ingredients. Rapid service. Inexpensive. THIS is the fast food you should be eating. It is flavorful and healthy. I love it. more

Out of the three (count them, three!) newish Vietnamese noodle restaurants in the PH/Concord area, this is my favorite. There are a variety of pho noodles here, with the option of type of noodle and bowl size. The large is HUGE, so I usually stick with the medium. I like the soup broth of the traditional beef pho, but my mom loves the seafood noodle soup. And you can't beat the price at only $5.25 each. My other favorite here is the soup-less bun noodles with grilled beef or chicken and imperial rolls on top. you pour the nuoc mam (spicy fish sauce) over it and it's so delicious! My only complaint is that they never give enough sauce so I have to ask for double. Another great thing here is their blended milk-shake like drinks with boba. I love the durian and avocado, but for the less adventurous there's also mango, taro, honeydew, etc. more

Although this place is pretty crowded at lunchtime, I’ve never had to wait for a seat. I go to this place all the time, and the only problem I can think of is that you should go later in the afternoon rather than earlier in the morning. The reason being that the soup can be cold or undercooked in the morning, as they haven’t fired up the stove for the lunch crowd yet. Also be careful if you come here in the summer, as the place sometimes will have a few flies floating around the restaurant. more
