    Chicken egg rolls with sweet dipping sauce
    Nasser S.

    Everything looked good on the menu tbh. My favorite was the teriyaki wings. Might be my new favorite wings. They were the right size, cooked perfectly and great flavor. The place is a fusion of Vietnamese and Mexican style cuisine. Everything was good. I really liked the Passionate Mango drink. I dont have anything bad to say about. Literally no complaints. Service was very nice and laughed at most of my jokes, so no complaints there either, haha Can't wait to try more of the menu. They have a jurassic beef rib meal I want to try. Looking forward to going back

    Dirty Horchata(so good) , michelada, Loaded Fries( they were fireeee)

    The environment was clean and comfortable and staff was nice. I don't do alcohol so I got a regular hortchata instead of dirty hortchata which was so good. I loved the loaded fries I get random craving of it so totally recommend! Now the pho, the broth was good but I didn't feel like they put enough meat, overall it was good. I'm coming back for those fries and horchata, and also trying the wings which I hear are good.

    Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
    Stephen I.

    Never heard of a Mexican Asian Fusion Vietnamese restaurant before so this was a first. Ordered the grilled pork spring roll wraps. Pricey but the size is large (4 pieces). The clear rice paper and mexican style pork was great. The side dipping sauce was way too salty. Had the Pho with rare steak and brisket. The only Mexican thing about it was the cucumbers and jalapeños. Needed some pickled carrots! The beef was great. The noodles and broth were meh. The horchata iced Vietnamese coffee was fantastic. They really should encourage more promos to promote the place. Annoying fly drove me nuts, but it got better once more folks showed up!

    Wow. This was a great find. The staff was so friendly. But that's just the smallest part of what makes this a not to miss restaurant. The food. The food is incredible. The star was definitely the beef stew noodle soup. It has been over five years since we have had any beef strew noodle soup that comes close. Such complex flavors in the stew. Incredible. The grilled pork spring rolls were insanely large. 4 full rolls in one order. Wow. And it was so good. Then the chicken breast pho looks bland but it was far from it. The broth was just full of flavor and so delicious. Do not sleep on this restaurant. Go out of your way. It's worth it. I will go back to try more of their mex fusion dishes.

    The hostess is supposed to ask us for a drink first before ordering the food. My family and I weren't satisfied with the food that we ordered. The Pho Bowl is VERY SMALL size like a kid's size. It does taste not great and the broth is ok. The price is VERY EXPENSIVE. We will NEVER go there again.

    Chicken Pho

    My sister in law picked this place out to try after my little one's Kaiser Appt...and I was down to try it because I've seen it recommended before. The flavors were a little bland, there was barely anything I could taste in my pho, I had to add to it. I was really hoping to have those spices like cinnamon and clove; in the soup base but I just couldn't find that in my bowl. My 3 year old daughter didn't even want to touch her portion and said "it doesn't taste good" ... maybe we're just so used to the pho flavors closer to home in Tracy.. The weird thing is we took home leftovers and they tasted better the next day after the hoisin, sriracha and onions marinated in there. To be honest, I was a little annoyed about my dirty horchata, the description says it has Vietnamese coffee in it so i asked the waitress if the coffee flavor was more over powering in it than the horchata flavor, and she did mention that the coffee was strong...and mine had zero flavor resembling any coffee in it all together. You could see the photo, my drink is all white.. Chicken wing flavor tasted like sweet mayonnaise sauce, it was weird so my sister asked for them to take it back and bring out the other flavor. I just would skip it and not order this. We saw a rib noodle cup that looked yummy and told each other we should have ordered that but over $18 for a rib & $1 noodle cup didn't seem worth it..that we could make that at home lol. Overall I didn't think this place was that special, I think they missed the mark when it comes to flavors, I think they could get there with some work, not sure if I'd come back here, but maybe I'll give them another shot some other time.

    Burnt veggie A2. Egg Rolls

    What is this?...... Came to get the veggie egg rolls and got this as one of them...... not much love put into these. :/ Despite there not being basically any costumers, my order still came out shitty.

    What is it about asian fusion restaurants that intrigue me so? Pho Mex did just that with its ideas of a pho burrito, but ended up a bit of a disappointment in the end. Located off McHenry and Coralwood in the same plaza as the WalMart, Pho Mex is the standalone building way too big for what its offering. I think it is trying to be a sit-down, large-party style establishment, but the menu items seem more milk tea shop-esque. I ordered for to-go: Pho burrito - definitely tasty, but missing the broth consome (maybe its for dine-in only?) and more of the veggies. Disappointed I didn't get the full experience. Queso egg rolls - good, crispy, but greasy and plain. It does come with a strange but tasty spicy dippy sauce. Grilled pork spring rolls - basic and not worth the $3 price hike. Steak and garlic noodles - I canNOT believe this dish was $20. When I popped open that to-go box to view its contents, my eyes met the saddest pile of garlic noodles with the most depressing over-cooked unseasoned steak pieces. I would say it was about 12 oz. noods to 4 oz protein. I am so sad I gave this a chance despite the ridiculous price tag. The service was aight. I ordered and then the owner (I think) handed me the bag of food once ready with a thank you. I really wanted to like this place and could see it being a cool place to bring a date or girls night out. The interior is so beautifully decorated and super spacious with many booths and tables with wait staff. No wonder the menu items are so much higher priced than smaller milk tea shops - they gotta afford the mortgage somehow.

    Vietnamese Iced Coffee + Vietnamese Iced Horchata Coffee (feat. Skeletor)
    Lorean W.

    Popped into PhoMex after movie in the lull between lunch and dinner a few weeks ago and overall, it just wasn't the vibe. Even though it's eclectic and vibrant and fun inside, the floor was dirty enough to be noticeable. Coulda been a very busy lunch rush beforehand but even a quick tidy would've helped things out; it was distracting. The food ranged from just okay to disappointing. The coffees were too sweet--I've had plenty of Vietnamese iced coffees to know that they're supposed to be rather sweet but we could hardly drink them. (Not one to waste, I took them home to use them as a creamer of sorts for my iced coffee.) The shrimp tacos were basic. One single bite had some Thai basil in it and that was the star of the dish. If all the tacos had had it sprinkled throughout? It would've been a perfect fusion dish! The queso egg rolls, though fried to crispy perfection were so bland as to not taste like much of anything. My partner's Pho-rrito was actually pretty good! They really enjoyed their main. The real downer of the visit was being made to feel as if I were a zoo animal on display, due to some technicolor sartorial flair. The rotation of waitresses seemed innocent enough, but as we came to the front to pay the bill, a gentleman employee came out from behind the counter to half-circle me, staring. Staring y'all! It did not feel complimentary in any way. The overall checkout experience was pretty negative because of it, and really soured my experience overall. Can't imagine I'll return anytime soon and I am genuinely bummed about it. So many of the dishes on the menu look so good and I wanted to try every specialty drink. Whomp whomp.

    You NEED to try this place out yourself. I can't stress that enough. Mostly because they put their own spin on their brother and sauces. And if you are a true foodie, you will appreciate that on its own. I enjoyed tasting each thing and trying to pinpoint what that difference was. Now, if you are not a foodie, and you like traditional and want your food to be what you expect it to be, then maybe this isn't the place for you. Let me start with the caramelized pork belly since it's what we had first. This was a true 10/10! Cooked perfectly. Crispy where you'd expect, yet tender enough to pull apart. And the fatty part melting in your mouth. And the sauce was the best part. We literally dipped everything else in it because.. why not! Pork belly Banh mi - I didn't try it. My hubby enjoyed it though. Got a good eye brow raise from him lol. Chicken skewers (the name escapes me) but to me it was their spin on chicken satay. This was honestly just ok. The sauce was good and different. But I would have preferred it thicker. I wanted it to stick to that chicken. And the chicken, grilled perfectly with a nice char on it, needed seasoning. A little salt can go a long way! R&B pho- it was good. I enjoyed it. I may have poured too much sriracha but that was my bad lol. But this broth was definitely not your typical broth. Tons of flavor. I couldn't figure out exactly what it was that made it different, my guess is it's just more or a common broth ingredient. But it was very good. The portions here are great. There are some appetizers I want to try the next visit. The decor is really pretty and open. The restrooms are clean and stocked. We did have one item delivered incorrectly. But the staff was apologetic and switched it out no problem. As a mother of a son, who is working his very first job, I think I am now a little more understanding and patient. I think some of the wait staff are also working their first job. But we were constantly checked on and received everything including refills in a timely manner. The staff also forgot our utensils, but as soon as the food started coming out, it was recognized and taken care of promptly.

    Beef Stew Noodle Soup
    George B.

    We had a great experience here. Our first time trying it out. We will be back. Our meals were fantastic and full of flavor. We started with Tofu Spring rolls (4) in a order, ate 2. I had the Beef Stew Noodle soup (Amazing). My better half had the Vegan Pho, and loved it. We each brought back 1/2 each. Our server Andrea was so helpful and offered suggestions for future visits. The ambiance is nice and not stuffy.

    Finally visited this place back in March with the team for a meeting for lunch. It was a table of 6-7 of us, it was pretty quiet inside being as it was lunch. The service was very good and the food as great! None of us had any complaints for what we ordered. The inside is cool cause they have a little banquet area with its own entrance for a good price too.

    This place has nice cozy vibes. The service was great. It's not a very large place, but the servers…read morewere very attentive and quick. Food came out quickly, especially for considering that every table was full in that place. I ordered the vermicelli bowl #20 with shrimp pork and chicken. I enjoyed the pork the most, there wasn't much chicken, but there was a lot of lettuce. I added all of the sauce given for my noodles, but even after that they still tasted dry. I really wish it was better, but it was just ok food.

    I heard about this place for a long time and we happened to be in Modesto just down the road, so…read morewe stopped by for dinner. This place is really tiny. The bottom level had some tables that were put together to make a large table and maybe 3 other tables. They asked if we wanted to sit upstairs and I said it was fine and up there there was about four tables. I was ready to give this place 5 stars, but I did take a star off first service. When we were sat and asked what we wanted to drink and I started with my drink first and then I ordered for my daughters, the waitress asked me again what I wanted and I was confused. I told her again and then she went on her way. When it came to ordering, I asked for the chicken wing appetizer, pork chow fun and a large #1 pho with two small bowls, so that we could share. After I ordered, she asked me what size pho I wanted. Our drinks arrived, but my 10-year-olds drink was a lot larger than the other drinks we had ordered, which we weren't expecting. The chicken wings came first. We ordered them mild and I will tell you, those were some of the best chicken wings I've ever had...the sauce is sweet, the wings are crisp, but still moist. Definitely will go back and try this in a medium level. The pork chow fun looked a little bit different than what I was used to, but it tasted pretty good. It came with cabbage, broccoli, cilantro and a few other vegetables. The pho came out and the broth smelled really good and I started adding my sauces, but then realize that we did not receive a plate with any of the vegetables. Being seated upstairs, it's really hard to get the attention of your server who is downstairs. When she finally came upstairs, I told her we did not receive any of the vegetables and she went down and brought us a plate that had 3 slices of jalapeno, a pile of bean sprouts and one lime for the 3 of us. No basil whatsoever. At that point I didn't want to ask for anything else, so I let it go. A different server came upstairs and told us to take our time and had placed the bill on the table and I asked for some to go containers, she brought it promptly and then the other server had come and asked if we needed boxes when the boxes and the bag were already sitting on the corner of the table. We will definitely go back in give it another go and hopefully the service is a little bit better because I would love to give this place a 5 star review.
