Five stars for the friendly service, the banh mi packed with quality meats, very large creamy mango shakes, and fair prices. Bonus stars for clean restrooms, plentiful parking in back, and for actually being one of the few restaurants open til midnight near Bixby Knolls, Long Beach. The owner is obviously making a real effort, and I'm grateful for quality late-night Vietnamese food that's much closer to home than the OC. I've had some chain-restaurant banh mi in LB that really skimp on the meat for the same price. The sandwiches are not quite as big as Pickle Banh Mi, but I prefer the thinly sliced meats at Pho Express. This will be one of my go-to places for the favorable hours and everything else :) read more

I used to live in this neighborhood a few years ago and had ordered from here a few times when it was Pho Daily. I was in the area a couple weekends ago and dined here with my cousin. The place used to be a Mexican restaurant, and it is pretty evident from the exterior and the decor inside as well. The staff are all friendly. My cousin and I both ordered chicken pho and shared an order of egg rolls. I like that they serve theirs with romaine lettuce, vermicelli, shredded carrot, mint leaves and cilantro. It's quite tasty and refreshing to roll up the egg roll in the lettuce leaf with all the fixings. The chicken pho was very delicious, plentiful with the pieces of chicken and the toppings that they bring. I also ordered a jasmine green tea. It was such a fragrant tea. The first cup they brought me was not hot enough at all though. I was only halfway through with it when I requested if they could bring me another one, but hotter. Well, it was so hot that I could not drink it for 10 minutes. haha. Despite all this, I would return here if in the area. The restaurant is clean and well lit, except for the bathroom. The women's restroom at least could have been a bit better lit. There is a parking lot behind the building with entrances from the lot and from Long Beach Blvd as well. Keep it up! read more

Came in 2/9/26 for a late 2pm lunch. Was quickly sat and serviced. Ordered a small chicken pho and a jasmine hot tea w/honey. Was a filling bowl of Pho with decent broth flavor. Tea hit the spot. If you have a craving or it's cold outside come on in for a quick bite to eat! (It will be raining soon) Perfect pho weather! Would come back again! read more

It's under new management. It was Pho Daily now it's Pho Express. Pho Daily has another location in Gardena, CA. I have been ordering pho from here for a few months after the new owners took over. The pho is still delicious, the broth is nice and light and the portions are good too! They also offer vegetarian pho! It's a vegetable broth with an array of vegetables and tofu. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 6pm no wait to be seated. Parking in tbe back. Big inside plenty of seating a bit outdated. Yes they had restrooms. Customer service was friendly. Ordered the thai tea it was great and the brisket pho it was good. The meat could've been a bit more tender and the broth was good wish it had a deeper flavor. All in all for taste to price good for a one time try. read more

Pho Express - Steak and brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

When in today with my toddler because i saw really good reviews and because I had such a horrible day we just wanted to eat something good and have a good time Ordered my food and the girl taking my order was very friendly which was a plus . They gave us our food and everything was going good until my daughter had to use the restroom so we went and when I came back to my table they had picked up my food and everything and we had just started eating the girl apologized but at that point I was so upset she offered to make the pho again but I had also ordered fries and eggs rolls we had only eaten one and she gave me 2 back out of the 4 or 5 they give with a small pho even tho I ordered a large pho and didn't give me the extra noddles I ordered I paid and left never coming here again !! read more

Loved that this place reopened. But, I was surprised with the meals that I got. I feel like recipes have changed? Could be just me. My pho broth was so salty. I didn't even need to add hoison sauce due to the broth being already salty. I'm so used to having pho broth being plain and, in a way, fresh. The spring rolls were mainly greens (lettuce and/or cabbage). Barely any vermicelli noodles and shrimp inside, all I was biting into was the lettuce. I did enjoy my meal regardless. Service was amazing, I came at 10am (opening) and was served right away. Friendly and nice staff. Glad to see the layout inside is the same, points for familiarity. read more

A few months ago I noticed this location reopened. I placed a delivery order a couple of times. Both times were pretty good so I was curious to go in person and get the whole experience. Let me start by saying that the customer service is 100/10. The servers were so lovely. Supper attentive. They answered all of my questions and were friendly, happy, with a smile on their face the whole time. I had some pho, egg rolls, plain noodles, and a thai iced tea to go. Everything was sooo Good! I really loved the atmosphere, very family friendly. They had the Dodgers game showing which was a huge plus. They also sell beer. I had not been to that location for a few years when they were under different management, and now that I had such a pleasant experience I am definitely looking forward to go back. read more

This spot was pretty good! Staff were friendly and helpful. They serve aqua frescas which is a cool lil infusion. Would come again

I was so sad when Pho Daily had closed but was simultaneously thrilled to discover a new Pho restaurant had taken over its place. I find it almost difficult to find a Pho spot with a good broth but fortunately for me, Pho Express offers a really delicious broth. I've visited multiple times now since they've first opened 2 months ago and I've had great experiences so far. The rare steak pho is perfection asides from the minor critique of the meat being slightly too thick. I can overlook the thicker meat though as the rich broth is what's essential for me. In fact, I could literally drink the broth alone and be satisfied lol. The ambiance remains laidback and perfect for a date night or dinner with the family. Service is also friendly and speedy. If you're looking for a simple no-frills establishment that offers delicious pho, you've found the right place. Pho Express is where it's at. Support your local businesses! :) read more

Pho Express - Rare steak pho take-out - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I recently attended with my friends and we really enjoyed this place! Huge shoutout to our server -- managing our table of 10 during the lunch rush is no small task, but they did it with a smile the whole time. Orders came out fast, everyone got exactly what they wanted, and they made us feel totally taken care of. The pho was so rich in flavor but the egg rolls were the star of the show! The Vietnamese iced coffee with super strong and bitter if you like that, it wasn't my cup of tea. read more

Quick service and portions here are irregular but mostly good. I know it's just a topping but I've never gotten fresh basil with a to go order. This basil might have been packed last year. I've asked about it several times I've ordered here and it's always bad. I called again to let them know they really need to check it before and they told me they asked the kitchen and they said it's was "freshly packed just now with the order" okay I tried to be nice but what a lie and this is officially exhausting. I'm tired of no basil and old bean sprouts with my pho. I'm going up the street in the future. read more

My entire childhood this place was a Mexican restaurant. Hadn't been back in the area for years. My daughter called me up and asked about going to dinner. We both asked what we were feeling and after a small conversation she said she wasn't feeling very well and was thinking soup so I went to work. Pho it is if that's what my baby girl wants. Found this spot and was pleasantly surprised finding that my childhood spot had changed. The place was clean the staff was amazing and the food was great. The broth was spot on plenty of sides. We also went with a bbq pork sandwich and it also was worth mention. Overall sad to see the Mexican restaurant gone but glad to see they filled the spot with good quality food and employees. read more

Very pleased I found this pho place in Long Beach, well North Long Beach. We were looking for a pho place in DTLB but didn't want to go to the only one there because it wasn't good so we were willing to drive out. To our surprise, this pho place satisfied our cravings! I was told they were opened about 4 months ago. We got confused when we came in, thinking we accidentally went to a Mexican restaurant but it is indeed a pho place and I love that!!!!! All the staff were super nice and the food was so good! Pho was spot on and my coworker's eggrolls smelled delish and she finished them all! I also love their fish tank in the middle of the place! Will def come back to try more dishes! Highly recs! read more

The service was polite, the waitresses were nice but unfortunately the food was a letdown. The pho itself didn't taste authentic. The broth lacked depth and flavor, the noodles were overcooked, and the vegetables were not fresh. When I asked for pickled onions (a pretty standard pho request), the servers looked genuinely confused. That was a clear sign to me that this place isn't familiar with traditional pho preparation. Based on the taste and overall experience, the broth seemed like it may have come from a premade paste or packet rather than being properly simmered. Many of the glowing reviews feel questionable or written by people who haven't had truly good, authentic pho. If you're serious about pho, this place will likely disappoint. read more

We were bummed to hear that Pho Daily was gone... but soooo happy that it's still a Pho place now! Pho Express is just as good and the reason I gave it 5-stars is because it's open LATE til midnight! Not much near us are ever open past 10pm! So this will be our go-to spot for late-nite bites too! Their pork fried rice is an entree in itself! The crispy fried egg rolls were perfect too! We also ordered the Orange Chicken and not pictured was a big bowl of Pho too, (#1 combo), which was yummy too! read more

Been on a search for authentic Vietnamese pho in the North Long Beach area and I think I may have found it! They just reopened under new management last Saturday and the food is as close to Westminster pho as I can find, what a hidden gem! Support your local small businesses and try this place out! You won't regret it, coming from a 100% Vietnamese raised yelper! :) I ordered their combo pho and the meat was so tender and soft, noodle cooked just right and the broth, flavor!!! Just like mamas!

The beef rib pho was delicious. I enjoyed the broth, it was slightly sweet but very rich. The beef bones were so tender and flavorful. Wasn't a big fan of the spring rolls, very lackluster. The peanut sauce couldn't even save it and that was lackluster as well. Will for sure come back for the pho tho. It's 10 min from my house! read more
