Pho Xpress

Always a good experience here. This was my first time trying the noodle bowl and shrimp tempura. This is always a busy place but the food never disappoints. And if you enjoy a good bubble tea, they have many options including Thai tea.

Very pretty inside of the restaurant and the music was so relaxing. They were closing soon but we got our food in less than 10 minutes and the staff was friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious. Will definitely be back again.

Casual restaurant. Come here for the broth, but don't expect too much in terms of the noodles, toppings, or the herbs. I think it's a fine option if you're craving pho and you'll leave feeling full, but I've definitely had better and there are areas for improvement. While the broth was great, the noodles were all stuck together and required some time to loosen them. We did have to ask them for the usual pho toppings (basil, bean sprouts, lime, etc), which they then brought out. However, they were out of basil. I think it's fine if you're in the area and craving pho, but nothing special to make a long drive for.

Not badIs their pho good? No. But pho must be taken in context. Considering the options in the area, the pho is passable. Would eat if hungry. I liked their broth. Decent portion sizes and okay prices. The main issue is that the noodles came in a congealed block that only loosened after a few minutes of wrangling within the broth. If the noodles aint fresh, at least have the courtesy to loosening them up before serving lolol. Also we had to ask for bean sprouts on the side. Bean sprouts are essential and should be automatically given. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand they ran out of basil (bruh)

Im obsessed with this place. I'm not from NC but I think this is a nice little gem. The inside is so cute and aesthetic. The workers are so nice and hardworking. They are very fast. I got the brisket pho, the brisket was kinda poor quality and super fatty so that was disappointing also, they put such small amount of beef in there so I took a star off. The pho broth was delicious. I also ordered a taro milk tea to go. It wasn't overall sweet like most spots serve which was really nice. The tapioca not weird and chew. I really recommend

I really wish we loved this place but we probably wouldn't come back. This is a Saturday afternoon experience during the winter season, so it was extremely busy! First, parking was surprisingly easy to find. There is plenty of parking around the area! We walk in, you look up and wow it was beautifully done. You almost felt like you weren't in Raleigh anymore (refer to my photo). It was so busy that we had to find a table before we got to order and normally you'd order first before sitting down here. We found the only table available but NO chairs at it. So we had to scramble looking for chairs and the employees didn't even bother to help. In fact, they started taking chairs from us, not sure why, but we nicely told them that those chairs were for the table we were sitting at. Now that we have secured the table, we're in line to order. It was so narrow for how busy it was that I wouldn't recommend bringing a stroller in here if you have a baby/toddler. We had our Doona stroller and thankfully that was small enough to fit getting around the small restaurant. The menu was very easy to order but the employee who was ringing us up, didn't look at me once, talk to me, nothing. It was very busy in there yes, but it seems to me these employees don't know how to work under stress or with a large amount of customers? Customer service is huge to me, as I've worked in customer service for years and expect it to be good. I ordered the beef pho. The food was good. Nothing really wow'd us about the food. The portion was smaller than what we expected compared to other pho restaurants we've been to and we've been to A LOT. They only gave me three pieces of beef in there and that was sad.... Haha. I just wouldn't recommend this spot to groups bigger than 4 because it may be hard to find a table on a weekend. I also wouldn't recommend this spot to be kid friendly. I had kids between the age 2 months - 6 years old and it just wasn't ideal for us and too crammed. I'm giving this place THREE STARS because it wasn't a terrible experience but we wouldn't go back or recommend it to our family and friends.

When you first walk in, the decor definitely catches your eye because it feels like you're in a restaurant in Hoi An, an ancient town in Vietnam. The decor displays the Vietnamese culture amazingly. I got the rare beef pho and it definitely tasted more authentic than other places. The blossom lychee was unexpectedly good, I was uncertain initially, but it turned out to be very refreshing and sweet to my liking. I wish I asked for the woman's name that took care of us, but she was super friendly and very accommodating. Definitely give this place a try, it won't disappoint!

The Ambiance as you walk in is relaxing! The music and the service is good. The food is excellent when dining in!

Good food and people very friendly. Food is expensive for pho but the food is worth it.

Excellent shrimp spring rolls. Very good pho. You must ask for the basil leaves and bean sprouts but they bring them right away. Only downside is the lack of the jar of Thai chili flakes in oil. Four stars.
