I was meeting a friend for dinner, and she suggested we check out Pho Express, since she was craving soup. The tiny place was packed with customers and delivery personnel picking up orders, but they did have a few tables for those that wanted to dine there, which we did. The menu was available on a tablet, and it was easy to customize your order. While I like Pho, I was not as in the mood for a large bowl of broth as my friend was, so I opted for the Chicken Fillet Rice Plate, which consisted of sticky rice, a sliced chicken breast, and some fresh cucumber slices. It took a very long time for our food to be ready, but, once it was, the counter staff brought it over to our table, which I had not been expecting. The sauce on the chicken was a delicious glaze similar to teriyaki, but the poultry itself was slimy and did not seem like white meat. The low quality and icky texture were downers, since the chicken tasted good otherwise. Overall, I would not run back to Pho Express when there are better quick-serve options in the area. read more

What a happy surprise! I live here and usually only get my bahn mi at Saiguette or Bahn Mi Saigon in NYC. I came here after fasting for 12 hours for a blood test so I thought I would try the bahn mi here. I had the lemongrass pork bahn mi. To my surprise it was really flavorful and delicious! The pork was perfectly cooked and just bursting with flavor. I'm always afraid it wall be overcooked. Though the whole sandwich was smaller than its NYC counterparts-it was big enough-probably appropriately sized. It could have used more cilantro-I wasn't even sure there was anything in it. It had chopped iceberg lettuce which was odd-would prefer that it just put more cucumber slices in it. The roll was very soft so A plus for that. Overall, a very tasty lunch at a decent price point $11.99. Thank you! read more

It was just okay. Not the worst but definitely not the best. Vegetarian pho needed more tofu. Chili oil isn't included. The best pho in Hoboken is at Bahn Pho, and it is worth traveling a little farther to get that instead. read more

Pho Express - Vegetarian Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Delicious fresh food. Had vegetarian pho soup and it was super fresh. People were very nice too.

We ordered Uber Eats delivery from here and were not fully impressed. The lemongrass pork banh mi was very 'stingy'. In half the sandwich there was barely any meat and about 3 pieces of pickled veggies. The other half had more meat but again not many veggies. A traditional banh mi would have been filled with cilantro, mint, lime, pickled carrots, daikon and cucumber at minimum and maybe pâté and meat floss. The bread was also chewy like Italian bread - not a French baguette. Although the pork had a nice intense flavor, it was disappointing for +$13. The chicken pho was much better. The broth was flagrant and flavorful. If we order again we won't be getting banh mi. read more

Pho Express - Lemongrass Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

So happy that this new Vietnamese restaurant opened! Owner is very friendly, and the service is superb!! Everything came out so fast and tasted fresh. We ordered the takoyaki again, the balls were fried so well, and the inside is so flavorful. Pho--great broth, noodles were nice and chewy. The only thing I think I would suggest is if the meat was on the side just incase it overcooks, but otherwise great and would come back! Ambiance is very cute, and clean! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a quick bite! read more

This is a great little place with wonderful Vietnamese sandwiches and delicious pho. The service is excellent. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. I also love the milk tea with tapioca bubbles. read more

Service and ambiance were definitely not authentic but the flavors were there. Chicken pho and com thit nuong both were surprisingly good and filling. However, waitress didn't even pronounce pho correctly... smh... Not much seating room but it gets the job done if you're ever feeling a crave for basic viet flavors read more

Best Pho in the area, the eye of round is always fresh and the broth is full of aromatics. I wish their peanut sauce was better to pair with the summer rolls. A star off for that. Service for take out is friendly and fairly quick. Will continue to come back. read more

So yummy!! Finally good pho in Hoboken. The broth is sooo tasty and the portion is huge. I always order through uber eats and it arrives piping hot and delicious. Decided to stop in and it was even better than expected. So friendly and the place was spotless. My stroller also fit in easily. Thank you for ample seating, great service and yummy pho. read more

Little hole in the wall spot. Always fresh and always delicious. Will return and will get the pho again. read more

I have visited this place a few times ever since, the quality of the food is consistent and delicious as I would expect. The server is also willing to take care of your special needs if any. They now have outdoor seating which deserves a thumbs up. Other than the Chowbus payment system I would recommend this place without doubt. read more

Amazing Vietnamese spot. 1) The restaurant is a very cozy fast casual Vietnamese spot. 2) Their pork banh mi is amazing. Some of the best banh mi I ever had. 3) I got the brisket Pho. Which I highly recommend. For sure one of the best Vietnamese restaurant(s) in the area. read more

Pho Express - Beef Combo Pho and Chashu Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Good pho is criminally hard to find in the NYC area. Pho Express checks all the boxes. Great beef broth, appropriate meats for the combo pho, and fresh veggies. A sure surprise, but a welcome one, for the Hoboken area. A special paragraph is needed to praise the Vietnamese iced coffee. Having lived much of my adult life in Houston and Dallas where Viet pho shops are as common as halal food is in NYC, I had yet to find good, authentic Viet iced coffee. That is, until now. The color is right, a dark rich brown. The flavor is heavy and strong, just as it's supposed to be. It came out after the food, which is a good sign that it was made fresh and correctly. The mild sweetness of condensed milk comes through. This is the best Viet iced coffee I've had since moving to NYC 5 years ago. read more

The rolls were TERRIBLE. The description stated that there would be herbs. NO HERBS! The photos showed a green lettuce. No, it was iceburg! Ewe! They were terrible! read more

We've lived in the Weehawken/Hoboken area for a year now, and this place has been the best Pho spot we've found so far. The first time we went we had the Beef Brisket Pho and the Lemon Grass Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl. Both of them had generous portions of meat and the broth flavor of the Pho was great. The noodles they used in both bowls were more traditional. we've been to a few other places and either the noodles were too thick or texture wasn't good. The only thing we didn't care for was their Vegetable Spring roll. Its not horrible, but it was Chinese style which we thought it didn't go well with Vietnamese dishes (personal preference). Unfortunately, they don't have normal Vietnamese egg rolls, but that won't keep us from coming back! By far the best Vietnamese spot we've found so far in the area!! read more

I am so impressed - by the food, the service, and especially by the location. This place just opened on Washington, and while location does not guarantee good food, I was so incredibly and pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pho - even though I ordered takeout, which I think speaks volumes vs. eating a meal there. I came in and everyone was so friendly and willing to answer my questions, especially the girl at the counter (I feel like a dumby for not catching her name, she was amazing). I made my own pho, added beef round and brisket, plus extra veggies - it was phenomenal. Honestly, Hoboken needed a place like this where the food is absolutely delicious, the service is quick, and the quality of the food is better than pho I've had in the city. I can definitely see myself being a regular here, it's just that good. read more

Efficient and tasty. You order on kiosks so you can customize your dish any way you wish. They don't have big tables though, so not for group dining for more than 4 people. read more

ordered the Build Your Own Pho and thai iced tea. took a bite of the bahn mi from my friend and it was divine. this pho was also really good and i really enjoyed the choice of meat since i don't really eat the beef balls and tripe in other phos. thai iced tea was good pretty good value for price just a lot of ice. my one complaint is the tip system. all for workers getting paid fairly but i never clicked to tip $5 on a $23 order (esp since there was no really service at all) i kinda feel scammed but i feel like a jerk if i ask to get my tip money back lol. good food tho... read more
