I had heard about Viet Noodles Xpress and decided to give it a try. The pho hit the spot. The quality of the beef is not as great as what I get in San Jose but it was still good, the broth had great flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was super comforting and much needed after being in the mountains for a few days. My wife ordered the bun bo hue and it tasted great. Lots of protein options and really good depth of flavor in the broth. I enjoyed it almost as much as the Pho. The staff was awesome. It looks like a family owned place and everyone worked together smoothly and was really welcoming. They were friendly, gave suggestions, and were quick with everything we needed. This will definitely be a spot we check out again if we are ever in the Modesto area.

So authentic and good service. I always come here. Between happy pho and this place they can have…read moremy money lol

Coming out of SF Supermarket, I wanted something and couldn't decide since it had been so long…read moresince I was in Modesto. They seemed extremely busy, especially with DoorDash or some other delivery service. Searching the menu, I didn't see a lot of VietNamese dishes. Many of the items seemed to be Chinese. I wanted some com dia. I ended up with Tofu with Vegetables and Rice. Considering how much I pay for a bowl of rice at a Chinese shop, getting more on the plate with the tofu and vegetables was a decent value. It wasn't tasty enough that I would go back in the same week. It's more of a McDonald's or Subway kind of food where it's reliable. Service was fine for being so busy. I'm not sure anyone had the energy to be really friendly. They were getting the job done.

Was in the area so decided to try this place. Tried the vermicelli bowl with beef and shrimp, fresh…read morerolls and pho. The amount of meat served with my bowl was a small amount compared to the amount of noodles. The fresh rolls also had a lot of noodles in it. The pho was ok and could've used more flavor. Overall I would say the food was average but there's better Vietnamese food in the area. Service was ok and the restaurant was clean.

We were mtg w/a friend who lives in Tracy. There was nothing open on a Sunday in Atwater (the 1/2…read moreway point for all of us), so we decided on Modesto. This place had good reviews so I was excited since I haven't had great Vietnamese food in Fresno. Was hoping this would be a treat. But it wasn't. Service wasn't great. No one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything. It wasn't crazy busy in there either since we there at off hours. Ambiance is standard for this kinda place. Whatever. Pretty big menu tho. Decided to do appetizers for dinner. ORDER: Crispy Crab Cakes: There was no discernible crab in them. Not even fake crab. No real flavor inside. It just tasted of overly greasy crust. But it was crispy I'll say. Choked down 1 & gave up. Fried Rolls: Normally the thing I love most at Vietnamese restaurants. This was mushy inside & bland. Pork & Shrimp Spring Roll: Wasn't filled very much. Like barely there noodles. One section I ate had none but had white radish strips, so I thought it was just lettuce, pork, shrimp & radish. I don't like a ton ton of noodles but it needed triple the amt to be an avg amt of noodle. The best thing about this was the peanut sauce. I give them high marks for their peanut sauce. Fried got pork vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls. Her high praise was "they gave a lot of meat." But otherwise her reaction was "it's ok." Other friend got garlic butter chicken wings. I had one. There was no garlic flavor on the wings but there was a bit of garlic & onion on the plate w/them. Otherwise, they tasted like naked wings. I like naked wings & admit they were cooked well. She also got brisket & flank pho w/out noodles. She said meat was tender & delicious. I really really wanted to like them more than I did. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever reviewed something where I gave less than 4 stars. Not my cup of tea, but glad they seem to have found their audience since they don't have poor reviews overall. Happy for them. Still on the quest for good Central Valley Vietnamese!
