One of our favorite restaurants in San Diego. Small, family - operated and convenient. We missed having a chance to chat with David- conversations with him brighten our day when he's working. And, while we still received the same high quality service and meals, he was missed. Deliciously prepared egg rolls, grilled pork and fried rice. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The portion sizes were plentiful. The Thai Ice Tea was delicious. Great service, good food, good atmosphere. read more

The food was good! It's a small restaurant and with a To-go option. It's near the hospital and a good option for food if you're looking to grab something on a break or visiting at the hospital. Service was good! They spoke English and Vietnamese and answered questions about the menu. My honest thought is that its taste is somehow American-catered? It feels like there's something missing?? The rice entree is usually with broken rice but it seems like they do things differently here! Mongolian beef was good with tender beef. Overall positive experience. read more

Pho Xpress - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I am always super happy whenever I get pho from here! The man that I believe owns the place is always super sweet and is generous with the amount of toppings he includes. Last time I got pho from here I ordered through uber eats and was disappointed because the driver spilled my whole soup in the bag when I messaged Pho Xpress I got a new delivery and they made sure to tape down the lid and pack it perfectly for me!! I will be back here time and time again. read more

Sooooo good! The staff is so nice and the food tastes amazing. I could easily eat here once a week.

Nothing spectacular but everything is done with proficiency. Great service and food at a decent price!

I've been coming here for over 20 years with coworkers and never had a bad experience. Service is always spectacularly fast and friendly. Food is simple but well flavored. The fact that their family comes in for a meal should tell you everything. Small but cozy restaurant that gets packed during the lunch rush. read more

Awesome customer service. The food was delicious, love the portions as well. Will be coming back for sure! read more

Pho Xpress was a very chill and inviting spot to grab a nice and good bowl of pho. Service was perfect, attentive, but let you enjoy your meal. Looking forward to trying their bánh mi. read more

I keep forgetting to take a picture because every time I come here I am hungry!! The food comes almost immediately hot and ready to be devoured. A warm friendly greeting usually by an older gentleman but today I am later than usual so it was a younger man. Seating never seems to be a problem but don't let that fool you. They do phone orders and pick ups that keep coming and going while you eat. Nice large TV if you want to watch but it's kept at a low volume. The phone is answered on the first ring every time I swear! Fast friendly and efficient just like the restaurant itself. I always order the grilled pork and rice. I need to order the noodle bowls but I get stuck on the deliciousness I know. The price is less expensive than any typical lunch that will fill you up and offer the great Vietnamese coffee. I promise to take a picture of the food next month! read more

Pho Xpress - Iced Vietnamese coffee! - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

One man army he takes orders and serve food at the same time, Pho ok the Vietnamese coffee giving a 5.

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. read more

Clean, friendly, good-tasting Pho. My go-to takeout order is #18 Xpress Combination (pho) flank, brisket, tripe, tendon rare and well-done steaks. The Chicken Pho broth was good but the white meat chicken was dry, tough and flavorless. (I wish they offered dark meat.) read more

Had a delicious bowl of Pho here. The broth is light yet flavorful. They cook it for 8-10 or so. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're looking for Pho in the area this is it! I sat outside in the sun which was nice. read more

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. :( read more

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. read more

Pho Xpress - Vietnamese espresso - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Accidentally came when they were closed. They cooked me pho when they didn't have to. The guy there was super nice. I didn't think it had that much meat at first but I think it was because it wasn't cut up like it is as other restaurants. Broth was good and they provided extra stuff. I tipped for my inconvenience. read more

I come all the time either with my bf, myself or my friends and every time their pho is amazing. I usually never write reviews but their service has been amazing the past months I've went that I just needed to. 10/10. read more

First time coming here. Service was great, we were greeted and seated right away. Dining area was clean. We had the rare steak pho and egg rolls. Food was delicious! Definitely coming back here again if we're in the area. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

super friendly/fast service. all of the Pho is gluten free, which is awesome for my celiac kiddo. Excellent customer service.

I usually order by phone to pick up for lunch. Always ready in 15-20 min. Really fast and good food

Good prices, quick service, but was given the wrong order. pho was still really good! read more

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. read more

Pho Xpress - Mixed Vegetables and Tofu Noodle Soup with chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

the food, service, price, and ambiance is awesome. it's family owned. we always get treated well and we go once per week.

I got a vermicelli shrimp and egg rolls. I am so happy that i did it was so good although I would have appreciated more shrimp lol other than that the server was very welcoming. read more
