Pho Le

4/14/2026* We stopped by for dinner and ordered the Dry-fried beef ho fun, teochew noodles, and dry pot spicy beef! Everything tasted really decent, the portions were nice, and the owner was really friendly. It was our first time trying dry pot spicy beef, and we enjoyed it. It had a nice kick of spice without being too overwhelming. I personally would have preferred it to be even spicier, which would have made it perfect! 10/13/2025 My family told me that their Teo Chew ho fun was great, so it had been on my want-to-list for a while. I finally got to check it out. We were seated quickly, but something felt off when I saw the menu; it said SPICY SZECHUAN & PHO on the menu. I started feeling a bit skeptical. So I looked up some recent reviews and found out they had changed ownership and started serving a lot of Chinese dishes now. We ordered their beef chow fun and Teo Chew noodle soup. The beef chow fun portion was huge, very fragrant, and delicious. I wish they could fry it for big longer, so the noodles could have a better texture. The Teo Chew noodle soup was great too. It had a strong garlic flavor, which was a bit different from other places I've tried. Teo Chew noodles,

Don't be confused by the name, this place has the best, authentic Chinese food in Berkeley. The dry pot spicy bullfrog is tender and perfectly seasoned. The fish fillet with mustard is authentically spiced with great portions. The Sichuan peppercorn fish is fragrant but not too spicy. The eggplant with green beans is fresh and tasty. Mapo tofu is soft and appropriately spiced.

We ordered salt and pepper chicken wings for $25/plate and they gave us fried pieces of chicken nuggets which are probably the same as the orange chicken . We couldn’t complain because it was a take out order. Overall, we spent $135 and we didn’t like any of the 7 dishes. The dumpling skins were thick and had a funky sauce. The walnut prawns were salty. The broccoli and beef was decent but not great. We have routinely ordered takeout in the past and loved the food. But it appears there may be a new owner as the menus are a bit different. Overall, the food isn’t the same as it was in the past and the quality of the food has declined dramatically. I also question their integrity when they serve chicken nuggets as chicken wings for $25. See the attached photo.

This place is a hidden gem and the food here is really solid and well priced! My girlfriend and I stopped in for dinner on a weeknight after hearing some good things about the food and were really impressed with the quality and flavor of everything we ordered. The house special dumplings, house beef stew noodle soup, and the beef pho were all delicious and incredibly flavorful. I especially loved my house beef stew-- the broth was so rich and delicious (probably some of the best I've had in a long time). We will definitely be back again soon, hopefully to try out their lunch specials we saw on the menu! Give this place a try if you want somewhere with a large menu and good food at a fair price!

We came here for dinner and had a good experience. We ordered a Thai iced tea, special combo beef noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup, and dry stir fried beef chow fun. Everything was delicious, and the service was quick and attentive. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. Overall a good experience!
