Pho Express

This is a super legit pho spot in Long Beach. It's deceptively larger inside than it looks and as…read moreis typical of pho joints, service is very quick so you can get in and out. Order at the table, enjoy your food and pay at the counter. They have plenty of variations of pho, but I like to stick with the classic Pho Tai. Their broth was wonderful with or without the additions on the table. I like that you can choose your size. I went with the medium which was a good size for me, but the small wasn't too much different and I think that would have been fine as well. We added on a Chinese Donut which we dipped in the broth. It was a fun addition and pretty large, so you can split it between 2 people. The Shrimp and Pork Spring Roll didn't impress me so I would skip it next time. I don't know how I am just now finding out about this place but it's going to be my new go-to for pho in the area.

Such a hole in the wall pho spot in Long Beach! It also felt very family owned as it felt like…read morethere was a daughter to mom dynamic when I was there. I might be wrong though lol. It's located on the corner of a building off of Anaheim Street and walking distance to Good Time. I got their pho tai and loved it, they put a lot of meat in there and the broth was really good. Put bean sprouts in and boom it was delicious. I got the medium sized and it was the right amount for me but would get the large one next time. Would recommend this spot if you are in the area. Definitely one of my top spots for pho in Long Beach now, sucks because it closes at 5 so you can only get a lunch or late lunch out of Pho Hong Phat!

To top it off, we got their bo kho which is one of my childhood favorites.

If you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, Pho Express is a great spot to check out. The pho is flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. The broth is rich and aromatic, making it the perfect bowl when you're craving something warm and delicious. The wings are also a standout--crispy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. One of the best things about this place is how quickly the food comes out, which makes it perfect if you're hungry and don't want to wait long. Overall, Pho Express delivers great food, fast service, and consistently delicious flavors. Definitely a spot worth stopping by when you're in the mood for pho and tasty wings. read more

So good I had to find the extra diacritical marks for the o because not to would be sacrilegious. I got the #13, FWIW, rare steak.

I will say the extra veggies (broccoli and such) are just OK. But that's not what you go to a phở place for, so it's still five stars. I got takeout and even as takeout it's amazing. Down side there is I can't really speak to ambience or service. But don't pass on the food!

In the…read moreend, she did not order pho because my dad would not agree to share it with her (he wanted a noodle dish, haha). She ended up getting a noodle salad bowl with chicken, my dad had the beef with vegetables and chow mein-style noodles, and I ordered stir-fry veggies with chicken and steamed rice. The young man who tended to us was very patient and friendly - such a change in service from the last time we were here. We were able to request exactly how we wanted something made (for example, my mom described more or less what she was craving, and he pointed her to two different options she could choose from. And I wanted my stir-fry dish on the drier side, not too much sauce). The food came out fresh and delicious. Only minor complaint was that the chicken in my mom's noodle salad was a bit over-cooked on the exterior which made it hard for her to chew at times. She really enjoyed the combination of the veggies, greens, noodles and the dressing too. Honestly one of my favorite dishes - I will have to try it from here someday. I loved my chicken stir-fry with veggies. The white rice was perfectly fluffy. I would order this dish again! At the end, our server brought us little cups of a green tapioca pudding. I believe it's made with pandan or some type of neutral-tasting bean. It's sweetened though, and it was honestly a nice little touch, compliments of the house. He did express that the restaurant was working on some changes to get customers back and reviews back to a more satisfactory level, and I applaud them for that. We'll certainly be back if they keep it up.

Apple gave us plenty of time to review our options and answered all the questions I had about the menu. She really brightens up the place and makes you feel at home. Our food came in a timely manner and all the items came one by one but with very short arrival times between them so we got to eat together. Apple checked on us a great amount of times to make sure we got what we needed and brought us the little extras we asked for quickly. They even celebrated my birthday even though it was a couple days after. You really feel cared for here.
