Absolute gem. Big portions for the price (try the bahn mi!) Very friendly, quick, and efficient service. Very tasty and fresh tasting food! Awesome lunch options! Wide and varied menu allows for so many cravings to be satisfied. Tons of vegetarian options! The bahn mi here is a large 7ish inch sammy loaded with the protein of choice along with tons of delicious pickles veggies, fresh cilantro, and pretty mild and crunchy jalapenos. super delicious and filling and only $6. The decor and name of this place may cause one to think it's low quality or cheap food, but don't be fooled. This is an unreplaceable gem of a restaurant that is very much needed in santa cruz. read more

The proverb: "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me" best describes todays lunch here. Based on recent, favorable reviews on their bahn mi sandwich, I decided to order it (again). Bad choice. Clearly those who wrote positive reviews have no concept of what a bahn mi supposed to be. The long crusty baguette is probably worth more than its fillings which included some form of what I guess was supposed to be beef appeared pounded to a wafer thin soft pulp mixed with fat. This "beef" might be better suited to those who have no teeth to chew as it was completely void of any texture. This mystery meat and a few veges typically included in a Vietnamese sandwich were drowned in a heavy sauce designed to mask the shortcomings of this substandard bahn mi "beef" sandwich. Once again, just like my experience four years ago, the order took nearly one half hour. Add the bad sandwich experience to a restaurant environment about as filthy as they come, with mounds of plainly visible hair from both human and dog sources on the floor. And don't place your elbows on the table either cause their sticky! Add to all this their refusal to honor their own Yelp check-in advertisement of 50% off a drink, and you've got a one-star review! read more

I've been going to Asian Express for 5 years, before COVID and currently. I believe their quality, quantity, and price have changed significantly. Their entire menu prices have gone up 30% if not more and the amount of food on the plates has gone down. I have there last week and ordered Pad Thai and beef pho. The amount of actual noodles on the plate was half of the plate. The other half was bean sprouts and other garnish. The pho noodles were overcooked and the broth was too salty and not at all like pho broth but just beefy broth. I was highly disappointed with the meal and will not be returning any time soon. read more

Moved back to the Santa Cruz area after a solid decade + away. Up in Santa Rosa (where I was living), there are at least 12 Vietnamese spots and a bunch in surrounding towns. In the bay, it's a paradise for those that are pho and banh mi inclined. Unfortunately, Santa Cruz has basically no Vietnamese spots. Reviews for here were pretty promising and most of the bad ones are from people who were upset by the lack of orange chicken and imitation crab meat ragoons. Took my Pops here for lunch and we had a great time. Got a couple kinds of bahn mi and some duck pho. The bahn mi were a blessing and something I hadn't tasted in months. Pork and beef were equally tasty. Bread was crunchy, yet soft on the inside. The pickled veggies and paté were both on point as well. They're not San Jo prices, but only like $7, so very easy on the pockets. The duck pho was alright, but could have been better. The main leg in the soup was so small, it could have been from a pigeon. Broth was tasty though and everything else was up to par. Honestly, my only gripe was the duck quality/quantity, but most places don't do duck proper, so no biggie. This spot gets two thumbs up from this guy and it's dope having a spot in SC that actually has some Vietnamese grinds! Get some! read more

Thai iced tea and #8. You can not go wrong with that meal. It is something I order on average about 2-4 times a month. I usually get it with sesame balls, but it seems that they have been out of stock for almost 2 weeks. The best pho in the area and they give big portions.

It's better than I remembered it. Also, I've only ever tried the pho here - maybe the rest of their food is fantastic. ‍ They don't have as many options of types in f pho as the normal pho shops, but still 8 I think. The pho broth is not as rich as some I've had but ingredients in general seem alright and portions are good. Having said that the price is a little high especially since it's not better than average. They do have a couple tables outside for dining, but not many. read more

In the desert of decent Asian food options in Santa Cruz, Asian Express is a welcomed oasis. I would usually steer far away from a strip mall restaurant that serves Vietnamese, Thai, AND American Chinese food, but somehow this little joint manages to hit the mark on everything I've ordered. The pad Thai is surprisingly flavorful and full of tofu, eggs, and shrimp. The pho comes with tons of herbs and meat and delicious soup. The basil chicken wings are crunchy and herby. The food comes out fast, the portions are large, and the prices are reasonable. Can't ask for more! read more

They give thin slices of raw beef to cook in the broth which only takes a minute it is so thin... fresh basil and cilantro and bean sprouts... along with jalapeño and noodles.. compliment pre cooked beef and beef ball... Other than those two favorites... we get the prawns; pork and vermicelli occasionally and padcthsi and spring rolls. They offer some Chinese dishes as well... but I have never tried them. read more

I was delighted to learn that the owner is Vietnamese. I was very skeptical to come here because Santa Cruz doesn't have a plethora of Asian eateries, Vietnamese to be exact. I cannot go and get a banh mi pate cha nor can I go and get banh bot chien so easily anymore. Sigh. More and more, I seem to miss San Jose like crazy. Anyway. Down w/ a cold, all I wanted was pho. Everyone kept talking about the #8 on the reviews so I ordered 3 (for Craig, my daughter, and myself) but later on I found out that they have pho dac biet. I like tripe and I like tendon. The steak? I eat that on the side - rare. I managed to get sach (tripe) added to mine. I was pleasantly surprised that the pho was quite tasty. For under $8, it was a generous portion. The meat counts but in pho, it's all about the broth. It needed roasted onions, roasted ginger, and more star anise. I can tell but overall it was pretty good given the demographic. Happy to see banh mi on the menu, I ordered the only option available: banh mi ga nuong. Though Craig didn't enjoy his half, I thought my half tasted delicious. I can taste the lemongrass that was chargrilled on the chicken. I wish I ordered two instead of sharing. Seriously. A few Chinese/Vietnamese items: fried rice, chow mein, egg rolls, general chicken, sweet and sour pork, wonton soup, lollipop chicken, beef and broccoli, sesame balls, bo kho, and many more; all reasonably priced. The place is fairly clean and service was great. I found out as I was waiting that not everyone there working speaks Vietnamese. It was fine but I am sure I looked stupid talking up a storm and asking questions when the other party has no clue what the hell I was saying or asking. I will be back for sure. It's nothing like the selections in San Jose but it will suffice for the homesick. Sad. read more

For this area, it's alright but definitely no comparison to San Jose or Oakland. I've had pho a couple times here. Sometimes it's ok but sometimes it tastes really off. Anybody who knows pho, knows it's all abut the broth or the whole thing is off. Every now and then this place has off tasting pho because of the base. The staff could use a little better customer service, don't seem that friendly. I've seen them mix up orders a bit and aren't god about correcting their mistakes. When you tell them they mixed up the numbers or the wrong order, they ask if it's ok that you just eat it anyway...not good service. read more

I was yelping in the area for some soupy Asian meal and found this spot. I was kinda skeptical at first because the sign outside says they serve Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai food but how can a restaurant be good at 3 different types of cuisines?! It just has to be one really good Asian cuisine or just all not so good in my opinion lol Well I didn't try all three cuisines but ordered the number 8 pho which included meatballs and rare steak. The food was mediocre and had a lot of broth which I didn't mind but made it seemed like I didn't have a lot of meat or noodles. What I didn't like was the fact that the food we ordered for a party of 5 took a really long time (20-30 minutes) when I thought this was called "Asian Express" LOL not hating, just wondering when the express would play in. And the tables we were sitting at were dirty from leftover food residue :( They do offer iced water in a self-dispensing container but getting their dispenser refilled isn't one of the restaurant's priorities and I get thirsty :( Overall, 2 stars for this place. I'm surprised how many people do come to the restaurant and it does get busy but maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Oh well not planning on returning though. read more

I came here to try their pho just because I missed it and had a huge craving. I actually came here with a small group and we all ordered pho. I could have sworn it was a little more expensive than how much I normally pay for a bowl of pho. It wasn't horrible but I've tasted better. I guess the 2 stars explanation is more due to the fact that their drinks SUCK. I thought I was ordering some sort of boba drink but it turned out to not be that at all and worse. I hate coconut and the dirnk contained a huge amount of coconut flakes. Oh and the boba inside wasn't even realy boba. It was hard, nasty tasting boba that disgraces all bobas!

Also ordered their vegetable green bean with garlic sauce dish, and the green beans were cooked nicely although a side order of green beans for $16? Yes, I made the decision to order simply because I wanted a veggie with the rest of the meal. I ordered a chicken breast dish that was coated in some sort of a Panko-ish crunch. That was good although I wasn't expecting it to be fried. When you're hungry, you just eat it anyway... Truth. also had the potstickers which were typical nothing special, although they did serve it with some sort of a hot pepper sauce, which was good although the seeds in it were quite tough. They also pack a little container of what looked like white vinegar weird not at all like what you would normally have. We will probably try again as we explore the menu, but I will definitely pick up next time. Oh and finally with an order that clearly served two people they throw in one fortune cookie. How cheap is that? Jury is still majorly out on this place, but just wanted to share for now.

I haven't stopped thinking of that succulent steam facial, either. I also had a root beer. Life should always be perfect tempura and your favorite soda. The service was great as well. They replied with a genuine "enjoy" to each of my "thank-you's", and also spoke very kindly and gave great service to the considerably under-spoken guy at the booth next to mine. Con: The place is old as dirt and needs to be gutted. I don't think it was 'sticky' tablecloth dirty, but I was pleasantly surprised that the bathroom was very clean and tidied. The smell when I entered the restaurant quickly let me know that something was wrong with the sewer lines, or something. Like, I almost left before anyone saw me stroll into the empty place, ok? There was a gal who was walking in to scope the place out for she and her friends as I was leaving. She didn't stay. I was waiting for an Uber as she hightailed it back to her car declaring "Well, I guess I haven't been there in a while..." into her phone. Overall, I'm glad I stayed to give an old place a new try for the first time in... 15 years? Not surprised that all of the orders were being picked up by DoorDash, etc, but also not surprised at how many orders were being pickup up, one after another. I need tempura and rooty beer this week. Not sure if I'd ever be brave enough to give their sushi menu a try, though.

Finally writing a review for a place I have been going to for a decade. This is our local treasure…read more- no fuss, fresh, honest food, being consistent. Menu cards are kept under the plexiglass tops on each table for easy viewing. Soups, appetizers, veggie, meat options all are good. This time we got- salt and pepper fish - crispy, well seasoned, white pepper coated, garlic and red chillies seasoned fish. Pepper steak - thinly cut beef with black pepper sauce and stir fried green bell pepper, snow peas, onions. Excellent mix of meat and vegetables. Chicken and Green beans- excellent combination of crispy green beans and soft succulent chicken cooked in soy sauce and cooking wine. Crab rangoon-, crispy, gooey fake crab mix inside. All in all great family owned and run place for american Chinese food.

My wife and I have been coming here for a while. I understand Sally retired somewhat recently. I…read morethink the food quality/portions have worsened. The biggest change has been the chow main, which is very dry and more like spaghetti. And you don't get as much food as you used to. The lady that runs the front end gets very distracted and will forget things quite often much to the distress of the customers. Probably best if you're grabbing a lunch special.
