Pho Xpress

From Minnesota, here for work. Hands down one of the best Pho Resturaunts I have been to in awhile. I ordered to go and everything arrived packaged to perfection and HOT! I hate when you order food and it arrives cold. The flavor of the broth was so tasteful! The noodles cooked to perfection. The spring rolls were delicious!

I stumbled upon a charming family-owned pho restaurant nestled in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. The pho, which is the highlight, was absolutely scrumptious. The broth was a delightful mix of lightness and rich flavors. It was so good that when the server came to clear my table, I had to hold onto my bowl just to savor the last of the broth. I was tempted to rate it five stars, but the Banh Mi didn't quite hit the mark. While it included the usual pickled daikon and carrots, it somehow missed that tangy punch I was looking forward to. Still a must visit if you are in the area and craving Vietnamese food.

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.

100% Authentic Vietnamese Food. 10/10 would recommend. I will be coming back! The broth of their Pho is 😙👌 perfect! Their spring rolls are just right, and the peanut sauce that comes with it is on another level (the perfect mix). Then, their chicken wings are covered with a seasoning in just the right way that you don’t need to dip them in a sauce. The chicken wings are perfect as-is. Also, if you like authentic Vietnamese beer, they have those as well. I’ve been to Vietnam, and I’ve eaten a lot of food over there. This place is authentic and legit!

It was getting late near closing time but they still were allowing people to order if they order very fast. They were really friendly people and attentive. Food was fabulous! Pho, their rice dishes, banh mi, and egg rolls were yummy. If you're vegetarian, would really recommend their stir fry tofu vegetable rice dish. Sauce was absolutely delicious and addictive. I really recommend this place.
