    Front of restaurant
    Amanda A.

    Food: I ordered the chicken Bánh mì and the deep-fried shrimp rolls to go. The shrimp rolls were hot, crispy, and made a good appetizer. The chicken Bánh mì, however, fell short. The chicken was much sweeter than I expected, and the portion was noticeably small -- the sandwich felt hollow. On top of that, the chicken pieces that were included were tough and chewy, making it hard to enjoy. With multiple locations in the area, I was expecting better. They do have a wide variety of other dishes like pho and vermicelli bowls, but based on this first impression, I'm hesitant to try more of the menu. Service: Service was genuinely friendly. The staff greeted me right away, took my order quickly, and had my food ready faster than I expected -- great for a to-go visit. No issues here. Atmosphere: The restaurant is large, open, and casual -- a comfortable space for a sit-down meal. The dining area looked clean, and the layout makes it easy to dine in groups or grab a quick solo meal. Overall: Friendly staff and fast service were definite positives, and the restaurant looks clean and inviting. However, the quality and portion of the Bánh mì were disappointing enough that I'm not sure I'd return. With a few improvements to the food, this place could be much better.

    $17 for shaken beef. Only a few actual pieces of beef. Not worth it

    Really shocked at my visit here. Thought this place was good before. Last time I visited, the wait time was excessive and they weren't even packed. And the prices are not worth it anymore. $17 not incurring tax and tip for shaken beef which is mostly rice and only a few pieces of beef. Very disappointing. Way too many other pho spots that have a better value.

    Visited this establishment on 12/10. Food was delicious and generous portions. Cordial and friendly service. Clean restrooms, and clean restaurant.

    Chicken wings ( canh ga chien  )
    Tayler R.

    i'm usually not the type to write a review unless it's something really serious, but i ordered three things. Pho, Chicken wings, and fried rice... the pho was okay could've done better with providing the extras like bean sprouts and limes but they only gave cilantro and onion.. i ordered fried rice and received white rice.. the wings were so disappointing. i have pictures!! called a bunch of times as well to see if i can get at least my fried rice but i wish i could just cancel it from my card but i paid with applepay so i cant but i definitely deserve a refund. your lucky to receive two stars.

    Fried rice

    I ordered this fried rice for $17 but just got a half of togo box. Very disappointed and bad qualifying

I had heard about Viet Noodles Xpress and decided to give it a try. The pho hit the spot. The quality of the beef is not as great as what I get in San Jose but it was still good, the broth had great flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was super comforting and much needed after being in the mountains for a few days. My wife ordered the bun bo hue and it tasted great. Lots of protein options and really good depth of flavor in the broth. I enjoyed it almost as much as the Pho. The staff was awesome. It looks like a family owned place and everyone worked together smoothly and was really welcoming. They were friendly, gave suggestions, and were quick with everything we needed. This will definitely be a spot we check out again if we are ever in the Modesto area.

    We were mtg w/a friend who lives in Tracy. There was nothing open on a Sunday in Atwater (the 1/2…read moreway point for all of us), so we decided on Modesto. This place had good reviews so I was excited since I haven't had great Vietnamese food in Fresno. Was hoping this would be a treat. But it wasn't. Service wasn't great. No one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything. It wasn't crazy busy in there either since we there at off hours. Ambiance is standard for this kinda place. Whatever. Pretty big menu tho. Decided to do appetizers for dinner. ORDER: Crispy Crab Cakes: There was no discernible crab in them. Not even fake crab. No real flavor inside. It just tasted of overly greasy crust. But it was crispy I'll say. Choked down 1 & gave up. Fried Rolls: Normally the thing I love most at Vietnamese restaurants. This was mushy inside & bland. Pork & Shrimp Spring Roll: Wasn't filled very much. Like barely there noodles. One section I ate had none but had white radish strips, so I thought it was just lettuce, pork, shrimp & radish. I don't like a ton ton of noodles but it needed triple the amt to be an avg amt of noodle. The best thing about this was the peanut sauce. I give them high marks for their peanut sauce. Fried got pork vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls. Her high praise was "they gave a lot of meat." But otherwise her reaction was "it's ok." Other friend got garlic butter chicken wings. I had one. There was no garlic flavor on the wings but there was a bit of garlic & onion on the plate w/them. Otherwise, they tasted like naked wings. I like naked wings & admit they were cooked well. She also got brisket & flank pho w/out noodles. She said meat was tender & delicious. I really really wanted to like them more than I did. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever reviewed something where I gave less than 4 stars. Not my cup of tea, but glad they seem to have found their audience since they don't have poor reviews overall. Happy for them. Still on the quest for good Central Valley Vietnamese!
