Pho Xpress

I had a hankering for banh mi and decided to order them from Pho Xpress via Doordash. The grilled chicken banh mi was a good deal at $8, but it was actually kind of bland though the chicken was grilled nicely. The vermicelli with medium rare beef had good quality beef slices, but the husband thought it was not a lot of beef for the price ($17).Note that the picture for the spring rolls is incorrect on the Doordash app. They're not fried - if that's what you're looking for get the egg rolls - and are actually cold rolls with shrimp, which is what we wanted. The spring rolls (I usually call these "summer rolls") were fine but I like when they have more herbs. The person answering the phone was very helpful and was able to tell me about any nuts in the dishes.

I wish I lived in a world of if I ordered a sandwich, but the chef realized he didn't have any fresh bread left, that he would give me an opportunity to to order something else instead of just making my sandwich using some old, dry, day old bread.The bread on this sandwich was so tough, really inedible. :(

Portion size is so tiny like damned. I ordered their Rice noodle with chicken and eggrolls. When I saw my food only 1 tiny kid hand size meat and 2 small cut up eggrolls what a sad looking meal. Not so fulfilling. I would not buy from again. Also had calamari only like 8 pieces of calamari and bunch of onions to make it look like it's a lot.This place very stingy.

I had this at 5 stars but in fairness I had to move it down a notch to 4 stars because the banmi wasn't what I expected.Anyway, was looking for a lunch spot near my hotel and came across Pho Xpress. A nice find. Service was super fast. The pho was outstanding. I had the rare steak with brisket and it was amazing. The fresh condiments were outstanding. Also, the Vietnamese Espresso caught my attention and it too was well prepared and hit the spot.The only down-fall was the beef sandwich (banmi). Usually Vietnamese spots are known for their crunchy bread and fresh toppings. My sandwich lacked the crunch and while overall acceptable, my expectations for a good banmi was not met.

Dude...the to go containers weigh more than the food. These portion sizes are super small for the price point. To top that off the food is just meh at best. I cannot recommend this place when you can go across the street and get better pho with larger portions. I gave them a three star because if I'm in an absolute pinch, I'd consider returning.

This is a small place but I was impressed with the flavors of the chicken pho. Well veggie and tofu with chicken added for extra protein. The staff was friendly and helpful and I found that I liked getting a smaller serving than most pho places but it was still plenty. The food came out pretty fast which was great! I will definitely return or call in an order as I work next door.

This small, simple and casual restaurant has good flavors, good portions, and great prices! The phó broth is simple, light and tasty, good noodles. The Xpress wings are xtra crispy. Staff are quick and friendly. Satisfying, simple food in a small family restaurant.

Delicious pho! Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating. 10/10 for us! We will be coming back again.

My FAVORITE pho restaurant in all of San Diego (this and their other location restaurant in Downtown)! The food is so fresh and delicious - and you are served so promptly. This location in particular does a ton of to go orders because of the proximity to Kaiser Hospital so I never have any issues with getting a table whenever we want pho. While we were eating they probably had like 15 to go orders and the wait time for that was so quick too so if you're a patron of the hospital and need a quick yummy bite to eat and tire of cafeteria food - go here!!!The pho is solid and packed with flavor - we always end up with a completely empty bowl because can't waste the delicious broth! The vermicelli is also superb - I especially like the beef and pork because the seasoning and texture is just perfection. I've tried their other menu options too - can definitely recommend the fried rice and rice dishes! We'll keep coming back :) Parking is not an issue since it is in a strip mall and there is ample parking. The restaurant and the bathroom is also clean and roomy. The staff are so nice and greet you with a big smile and are eager to make sure your meal is perfect. There are a few other regulars too so you know it's a family oriented place :)

This is my go to pho place as it's close to home. Owner is extremely friendly, service is excellent, food has great quality. They're fast, efficient and overall a nice family restaurant :). Would definitely recommend!
