Pho at this location is excellent. I've been trying out Pho places around town and this is one of the best I can find. I visit this restaurant every weekend...

It is a family owned and operated restaurant with awesome people working within. As much as I like going to different places, I will always find myself coming back. Their standard beef noodle is my go-to but I have also had their vegetarian options, spring rolls, rice dishes, and subs. Highly recommended for great food and amazing service.

We had a great experience at pho express! The prices were reasonable and portions were huge and everything was delicious! I especially loved the spring rolls, so crispy and flavourful! My mom loved the spicy Thai satay noodles as it’s hard to find a place that does it with seafood. Also not pictured but the salted coffee is SO GOOD! Highly recommend. And we also got 2 chicken banh mi for take out because it was that good we will be back!!
