We have been coming here for over 10 years, and have had several different dishes. All are delicious. I find the staff very friendly and also quite accommodating. They feel like family to us. Thank you Pho Express for your excellent service.

I ordered the Satay Beef soup on an overcast day at lunch in the otherwise empty restaurant. The food came extremely quickly and was accompanied by a small plate of bean sprouts, some basil leaves, and a small wedge of lime. Overall, the restaurant seemed quite clean, and although it wasn't particularly well lit, there was more than enough light to see clearly. The service was very fast, efficient and quietly professional. I paid $15 plus GST and tip.Some specific notes:Food: I found the soup to be bland like some other reviewers also have, but that's not a bad thing. It might represent a home-style version of pho or it might be the chef's interpretation, or it might be highlighting the overuse of salt and sugar in other versions. I just added some hot sauce and a splash of soya from the bottles on the table to kick it up a bit. The bean sprouts were fresh, crispy and cool while the basil was also clean and fresh, and the lime portion (while small) was juicy and lent just the right citrus tang to the dish.Service: During my visit, an older Caucasian man arrived and made some vaguely rude comments bordering on racist, which were handled with gentle professionalism by the wait staff. Kudos to you for your patience and kindness towards foolish and poorly mannered patrons.Portion size: while I don't have any objective proof of this, I found the portion size to be a bit larger than some other places, so size-for-your-buck is pretty good.Overall, while it won't change your life or the way you look at food, it's a solid meal for a decent price with above average service. Would recommend.

I have recently moved close to this location and after trying many Vietnamese restaurants this place is BY FAR the best and my favourite. Everything from the shrimp salad rolls, spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, satay beef soup to the Vietnamese iced coffee (and so much more) is absolutely amazing. Whenever my boyfriend and I are looking for a convenient and fairly priced restaurant to eat at we ALWAYS choose here. Absolutely in love with this place. THANK YOU PHO EXPRESS.

It's not my favorite. Portions are small, almost no meat in the soups or vermicelli.

We ordered two bowls of spicy beef satay soup and we incredibly disappointed with the quality. The broth was not spicy at all and no peanut taste whatsoever. Extremely bland and generic food.

Coming here for years! We really like it a lot. I have a gluten allergy and find it works fine for me.

I've been to a few Vietnamese restaurants and I wasn't to pleased with this one. The pricing is about average but the portions were small. I had the combo # 2 and the noodles were cold and so was some of the meat. Make sure you have a cell phone with you as you have to register for parking or you will get a ticket.

We ordered this on Skip. My wife had the #12, I had #13.It was awesome ?. Alot of places over do the flavor and thickness of their satay to be super posh. Real Pho is simple but delicious, not over powering. Take it from a guy who grew up eating thousands of bowls of this stuff, these guys are the real deal.
The beef pho here is really authentic. The spring rolls are amazing as well.Recommended!

I came at lunch for food and I had a spicy special soup. It was delicious, broth was flavorful and there was plenty of noodle and meat to come with it. Did not have to wait for long to get my soup so I am definitely coming back.
