Food is really good and service is as expected. I would have given them a 4 star rating but I just saw the guy cleaning the tables taking the unused leftover bean sprouts and cilantro back into the kitchen. What else do they reuse? Leftover soup? This is completely unacceptable and disgusting. I will be reporting them to health services. Edit: the guy just gave it to my wife with the used lime in there!! Fn nasty!! read more

Pho Tre Bien Express - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Love getting a quick fix of pho whenever one is either budgeting or in a hurry for lunch, this place is the place to go if you're in the area. Its great because they have sampler bowls of pho which is basically half the size of a small bowl but only for 5$. They dont skim on the meat neither! They also still give you the veggies on the side with no extra charge, where as the original Pho Tre Bien off Gateway would charge an extra 2$ to add veggies for their sampler bowls. No thanks! Might as well get the full, small bowl in that case. And Express lets you add an eggroll (lumpia) for only $1. Pretty sweet deal to me. My only gripe with this place is how small it is. And you place your order at the counter before you sit yourself. if you try to bring a group, good luck getting your food out in time during your lunch hour. I suggest to go with just yourself or a friend or 2. read more

When you consider everything that should deter you from this restaurant, such as limited parking and limited seating, I never find myself hating this place. In fact, despite those negatives, I always walk away with nothing but great things to say about this place. If you want delicious food and you want it hot and fresh. Do not skip over this place. The Pho is consistently hot and savory and the perfect remedy for those cold days in El Paso. Heck, I had a bowl this week and it was in the 80s, I don't discriminate. The rice and beef platters are always hot and filling. Portions are huge! Don't even get me started on the sandwiches though. These things are magical. I somehow find myself over eating and ordering a sandwich on top of whatever I order and I never regret it. Try use fresh ingredients and that sauce they put on it. That sauce though. I could shower in that stuff! Long story short, check this place out, you owe it to yourself. I'm moving in a month and I'm dreading to find a replacement joint in my new duty station. Until then, I'm going to keep enjoying this place as much as possible. read more

This place has a really good selection of foods. I didn't give this a complete 5 bc the curries/soups are extremely oily. I have never sat down to eat but every time I order takeout it's the same. My body doesn't handle oily foods very well so I end up saving it or throwing it out, depending on how my body reacts. I did order a separate bowl of broth once and when that got cold you could see the oils on top. I've tried other pho places but they all deliver the same extra oily foods. I just like ordering here because it's close to my home and their spring rolls are my favorite. read more

Certainly better than the one off I 10 East The food is ok and its not really original The bobba is powdered not tea base read more

Exceeded my expectations. Ordered a combo pho and it came with a lot of tendon, beef balls, thick cuts of brisket, and a good amount of rare steak with onions. Was worried that my big stomach did not order enough food. Well, it did not leave me wanting more. Portions were perfect. Will bring my family and friends here. My only gripe was they used styrofoam. 4.5/5 Well Done! Or should I say Tres Bien?! read more

Food is good if I just rated the food it would be a solid four stars, but the place is normally dirty because they are understaffed. The tables are normally covered with left over food because they dont have enough people to cook, take orders, make the drinks, and serve. Normally one person is doing everything but thr cooking. Food can take a loooong time to arrive and no one will check on you to see how the meal is. read more

So it doesn't look like much on the outside, or the inside for that matter which really all falls in line with the food leaving much to be desired. I got the shrimp spring rolls, well done brisket pho and honey dew boba. The food was pretty good. The brisket was a little thinner than most but the taste was pretty good. I would say very very average, which to me means not really worth the money....that is if you ask me. The boba.....where do I start? I would say it is more worth driving to Vietnam and getting your own than having one at this place. Now this product from them was absolutely dispicable. Not the cute dispicable from the movie 'Dispicable Me' but as in absolutely TRASH. DO NOT GET THE BOBA. period. Seriously, I don't know how else to say it, it would be better to eat lead paint chips or maybe play in traffic (El Paso traffic). Sooooooo, other than that, the food was pretty average. If you're looking for relatively average Vietnamese cuisine, then this is as fantastic an average Pho restaurant as you can get. It is really a 2.5 star review. Not 3, not 2, but 2.5. Literally middle of the pack. read more

The food wasn't bad, as far as taste. However, there was hair in my food. I purchased 2 fried rice and 1 kid Meal. One fried rice entree had hair... straight hair, so definitely not my own. I called to let them know and was told by Edith that someone would call back. Still no call... For That I give them 2 stars they would have gotten 4 otherwise. Customer Service in store was good. read more

Staff does not wear face masks. I don't know about you but when staff serving food did not wear face masks before the city mandated it, they don't have the common sense to keep the food clean in this difficult era. read more

Not great. Ordered the "grilled shrimp" and they were battered and fried. Asked if this was correct and we were met with resistance as if we didn't know the words fried and grilled were the same. It's not inexpensive and not the best Vietnamese food we have had. read more

Pretty clean. hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. The pho was awesome and the spring roll had fresh ingredients. I ordered the shrimp spring roll. I love the peanut sauce they serve with it. Price were decent and pho is good. Will be back for sure read more

Love this place! Haven't found an item that I didn't like. The Noodle soups are so good and hit the spot.

The restaurant is in a small parking lot west of the corner gas station, a sandwich shop and a barbershop. If you drive too fast you just might miss it. Its a small dinner however the portions are not. It's probably one of the better Vietnamese bun dishes I've had since I've been here in El Paso. I highly recommend this place; it's one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town. read more

This place needs to update their hours sign, I came knowing this place opens at 1030 am, the lady is saying they now open at 11am. Pro: Good Pho broth. Cons: Very little meat in their Pho, restaurant hours not consistent, bubble tea not worth what you pay. read more

I tried out this place, very disappointed! I called in my order and arrived early to pick up my order. When I got there the waiter was packing my order while he was packing my order he sneezed without covering up on my food. I was like yuck! I didn't say anything. I got my order and on the way home I threw the whole bag in the trash can. That was nasty so I never went back again. Unless you want to eat someone else's germs, I don't recommend going to that restaurant! I had to give it a one star or it wouldn't let me post the review. That's why there is one star! read more

Came here because it was right around the corner from where me and my wife live, and I'm so glad we did. It's a small restaurant but pretty well put together inside, nice new interior and the combination pho and meatball pho was UH-MAZING. Definitely gonna be regulars here! read more

Meat was old in my pho.. Very dissatisfied. I rather go to the one on gateway. Much better.

So service is terrible don't do it. Left on phone, not on hold. Listening to the people on the other line complaining about the amount of business they have. So odd. read more

From when we walked in to waiting for our order, Jonathan was very helpful and polite. Great customer service and a positive attitude most definitely filled the atmosphere. We order the veggie fried rice (no eggs) and a taro boba tea (non-dairy). I would give the last start however those adjustments made on the order... overall a great place to check out for vietnamese cooking‍ will be back read more

Had the Viet fried rice, it's the best bang for your buck. It comes with shrimp, sausage, and beef plus a mixture or vegetables. They do serve tofu here too. Spring rolls are on point and plenty of options read more

Pho tre bien express is my favorite takeout place! Their broth is so simple and yet so flavorful. Perfect for this winter and weird covid times lol. Their lemongrass tofu is also one of my favorites and the chicken skewers are my boyfriend's favorite! For all the nights we've ordered from this place, they definitely deserve 5stars! read more

I ordered beef and potatoes... I got beef and French fries they get five stars just for their creativity!

I cannot believe that spring roll(2) is priced at $5.00 You would not find this price in most cities. Other restaurants in the region charge 3.50 and this restaurant asks 5.00? Unbelievable! Is their food special? No. Is there service wonderful? No. Are their ingredient fresh? No. I don't see a reason why I pay 5.00 for two spring rolls. So I will not return again read more

Pho Tre Bien Express - Regular size pho - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Pho is exquisite. Enjoy it so much and food was very tasty. New favorite pho place. Hands down

Painfully slow. Considering it's name I thought I'd swing by this place while my father had surgery at William Beaumont Army Medical Center for a quick bite. I should have ordered to-go because my entire hour-long lunch window was used up waiting for my meal. The restaurant wasn't busy and the employees up front didn't seem to know the menu too well; further complicating matters. As for the food it's good; there's better Pho in El Paso though. read more

I wouldn't give them any stars if I had that option. Whoever sees this post... Be aware. This is what shocked me today. We came to have dinner. As soon as we stepped in the restaurant we saw a guy who was cleaning the table just took two plates of the leftover bean sprout and jalapeno things into the kitchen sperately. Then this is what we got. A spicy beef noodle soup and a plate of cilantro bean sprout AND A USED LIME...i don't know why the restraunt does this. What they charge us already included these stuff right? Why not give people clean new stuff. If people don't use them it doesn't mean they can be reused. Cuz they can set the chopsticks spoon napkin or anything else on it. I'm not gonna blame on the table cleaning guy. Cuz this is what the restraunt decided to do. So I suggest customers better be careful of this kind of things. They have a lot customers wiz children. Are you gonna let your babies eat things like this??? What I am thinking is we should throw everything in the soup or mix leftovers wiz sauce before we leave so they won't have any chance to reuse them again. Horrible experience for real... we used to like going to the pho tren bien restaurants but really disappointed at them. read more

The place was super busy when I got there so I had a long wait for my order. When I finally got my food they had made a mistake and took it back. When I got the correct order my spoon smelled like bleach!!! This was my FIRST time here but I will admit that I will be returning!! The biggest complaint that I have is the smell of cigarette smoke in the restaurant!! read more

I love Pho so I am a bit bias writing this review. We were there for the second time yesterday and I ordered the kids size chicken pho and it was cold. My husband had the charbroiled beef and he was pleased. This location is very small so try to miss the busy times because it gets packed in there! read more

Almost didn't go because of the reviews. That would have been a big mistake. This place has a very cozy atmosphere, and they make delicious sandwiches. Their mango bubble tea was also great. The sandwiches weren't overly stuffed but for the price they were perfect. I had to wait awhile for my food, but I could tell it was because they were making everything on the spot so I obviously don't mind. I'm definitely coming here regularly to eat. read more

Great food and a great place for lunch or take out. My wife loves the lemongrass sandwich and ima huge charbroiled pork and enroll person. Great food and a good price with just water. read more

Amazing pho. The kids chicken skewers are good, but might be dry if off peak hours. The boba is good. I've had nearly every pho, the beef is pretty good quality considering soup usually has second rate steak. read more

Great boba, and the broth was very tasty. I'd recommend the brisket for the pho and shrimp spring rolls.

Had the chance to check this place out for the first time recently, and we were pleasantly surprised!! The outside isn't much to look at, as it is part of a tiny little strip mall next to a gas station, but inside is modern and cute and clean! You order at the front, and the menu has pictures so you know what you're getting into. The girl behind the counter was very nice and happy to answer our questions. We tried the Vietnamese iced coffee (good, but not as cracked out as I am used to), a vanilla bubble tea (really darn good-like a milkshake), a couple phos (brisket plus a brisket/rare steak combo, and both were pretty great! Exactly what I was hoping they'd have, with plenty of cilantro and lime on the side, and squeeze bottles of hoisin and siracha on the table), but the best part was actually their grilled pork and rice dish (it reminded us of Korean BBQ, since it tasted smoky like that, but it was absolutely "pho"-nomenal!!!! We'd come back just for this dish, absolutely!!!) read more

I had the combination Pho and tried 1 egg roll of each. It's a small place right by a gas station. Very clean and quite. Within 8 minutes from ordering we had our food. I was shocked at how good everything was and fresh. The Pho was excellent, broth was slightly weak compared how I like it but very good other then that. Tons of noodles. Vietnamese spring roll was surprisingly good, made and wrapped perfectly. Lumpia was made just as expected. Nothing special but crispy and tasteful Egg rolls were not too far off from the lumpia but a little less crunch. If I could change one thing about the whole experience, it would be a few more sauces. Other then that I don't think I would change a thing. read more

I have tried half the menu and will keep coming here weekly until I've tried them all! My favorites are the shrimp spring rolls, charbroiled pork w/vermicilli and you can't go wrong with their pho! read more

Our last two visits, about a month apart, were difficult. They were out of a lot of essential ingredients for many dishes, but served them anyways without notice. Tonight they were out of chicken, eggrolls, and lumpia. We were able to work around that, but then they got our order completely wrong. No apology or offer to remake it. We ate the food anyways and it was alright, understanding that mistakes happen. Unfortunately, we're now looking for a new pho restaurant until things get straightened out. read more

Usually pretty good. Avoid the bubble tea at all costs. Tried it three times, always bad. Every food item I have ordered is pretty tasty, but they like to serve pretty small portions at times. read more
