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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After months of waiting, Phomex finally opened. So far, it's very good. We've been here twice already and both food, and services were excellent. We had the chance to speak with some of the employees and provided them our feedbacks. I went to see the party room and lounge...very well equipped and I look forward to having future gatherings with friends here. The pho-ritto was excellent! read more

My brother & I needed a new place to eat because we were getting into a habit of eating the same three places. We've been dying to try this place and we finally gave it a go. Thank goodness we did, we were instantly greeted and sat at a table, the ambiance is so warm & inviting. Our waitress was so helpful and exceptional with her service, she was super speedy and if we had any questions she was more than happy to answer everything. The food was beyond delicious it was like nothing I've tried before, it was our first time trying hot pot and I'll definitely come back for it. We also got the grilled pork spring rolls definitely recommend those as well! They were refreshing and savory! At the time we went it was a little busy but even with the constant flow of customers our waitress still made us feel super comfortable and taken care of! If you're looking for a new restaurant to try i highly recommend eating here it'll become your go to! read more

It was honestly a really bad experience I had at this place. The food was ok, but what made me not want to give it a second chance was because it took the waiter more then 30 min to come to our table after we were seated I would totally understand if the place was busy but it wasn't. On top of that our order was completely wrong the first time it was brought out. They were also missing some stuff we ordered. They did apologize and tried to fix the issue. I also saw a couple more tables complaining about there order not being right! read more

I know this was a soft opening for them. So i understand not everything on the menu was available. There were a few hiccups on our orders. I had the beef stew with noodles. Soup was great but my noodles was soggy. My friend ordered the vermicelli noodles and requested to add eggrolls in there. But the waiter brought out a whole order of eggrolls. He had to take it back because we didnt want to get charge for an extra $10... her noodles tasted like its been in the fridge where the moisture was suck out of it leaving it hard and dry. She had to wave down the waiter to bring her sauce to make it more manageable. (Twice) My boba tea didnt have any boba in it. I wasnt aware i had to add it as an extra topping. Our waiter explained it was his 2nd day. So he wasn't familiar with the menu. If he knew more about the menu and explained everything and was more thorough. Customer service would be splendid. Especially it being our first time there. I see potential in this place. It has a great atmosphere! Staff was nice. read more

I gave this two stars because the staff is really nice & provide good service. The menu is so interesting. We could not wait to try the dishes. We ordered the fresh shrimp rolls & pork lollipops for appetizers. The shrimp rolls were delicious! I wish I would have stopped there. The pork lollipops come with a very sweet mayo sauce over them, we ate one, too sweet. A good fusion dish should have salty, spicy & a bit sweet. Then we split the pho burrito, again way too sweet almost like BBQ sauce but you could taste that it was hoisin, we ate two bites, so I tried the chicken salad. Thought it would be a safe bet but nope it was swimming in the dressing. I couldn't eat it. I was almost nauseous from being hungry so I did eat some of the chicken out of it. I would say if you must go here, get the dressing on the side for this salad. My husband had the beef pho but he couldn't taste the authentic anise or any spice other than beef broth. I told the waitress about the salad, kindly because I am never rude to servers, they work hard. However she discounted a mere 1.50 off a 88$ bill. We chalked it up to " oh well, we tried it, we won't be back." Still left 20% tip because that's who we are to servers. Pay it forward. Again- I would NOT recommend this place. Good fusion recipes can be found on Pinterest they should check it out! But hey the outdoor cats in our area loved the pile of leftovers worth 100$ we brought them! At least it didn't go to waste. read more

Pretty bad service and can't even get orders right. Ordered a grilled pork banh mi and sweet potato fries on the app, and it took them 20 minutes just to confirm the order. I watched my order ring on their iPad while multiple staff just walked by and ignored it. When I got my food, they gave me a baguette instead of the banh mi. I had to drive back to get my order fixed, and I asked for them to remake my fries because they got soggy from how long everything took. They just stuck my old fries back in the fryer and they came out super burnt. No compensation or even an apology for their incompetence and the inconvenience. read more

Went a few days ago and tried the fusion pho. It was okay. I asked the server if they had anything spicy and that's what she had recommended. However, when it came out it was more on the sweeter side and sort of bland. I also asked if they had any kid friendly meals and I was a little shocked that there was nothing on the menu for kids lol then another server came out to take our food order. I asked about their regular nachos and what was in them. He proceeded to name what was on them and I told him I only wanted nacho cheese, chicken and chips. When the robot brought them out they had some weird sauce on them that tasted like 1000 island. My kids did not like them. I also asked for regular ice tea and they brought me green tea but it was so bitter....The server never came back to check on us or how our food was. We only came here because their food pictures on Instagram looked sooo good! Boy, was I fooled lol On another note, the ambiance was okay. It was quiet with only one other table. Also, the lady who was behind the kitchen came out eating chips on the floor where we were all dining. That's gross, unprofessional and unsanitary!

It's a no for me. My husband got up in the middle of our meal to go throw up... He had no issues earlier in the day. I ordered the phorrito and they burnt my tortilla and made sure to have that on the inside. The burnt taste was too strong. I had to try to rip it off. Too much noodles in the burrito so the only flavor was the meat. Egg rolls were basic nothing special. Pho broth was good when I asked for a sample but didn't taste the same when I got my meal - strange. We tried coming before but when we walked up they said they were closing (2 hours before posted time) which was frustrating because we drove 30 min just to try since they post so much on Facebook. Disappointment. Will not return.. I just read another review saying her family got sick as well. Heard from other local chefs that they've failed a lot of inspections, "horrible with food handling", and won't change how they do their stuff. They also said this place has another restaurant somewhere around and is better. read more

We came in for lunch today, only two other tables one was finishing up and one came in after us. We got greeted right away and placed a drink and appetizer order which came out to in a timely manner. It took them forever to comeback and take our entree order. Placed it... never got it or the grilled chicken that we ordered with our appetizer. So they go to bring us the bill finally after being here for a hour. I told our server that we never got our entree our the grilled chicken that we ordered with the side of rice that we did get. Instead of apologizing she walked off took those two items we didn't get off of our bill and brought it back about 5 minutes later . It's not like they were busy or understaffed. The food we did get was different. The loaded fries were pretty good, the wings (honey sriracha) had no flavor and needed more sauce. The beach was super nasty. read more

Don't know if the food is any good. Waitress seated us, dropped off menus and ignored us. There was only 4 tables occupied including mine. Watched her refill some water glasses, talk to a table and asked them if it was 1 check or separate and stand by the register and gaze out the window. Decided 10 minutes was long enough to wait since they were not busy and left. read more

Great takeout! JP…read moreAsian Fusion is always fantastic. I ordered takeout for my family and was impressed by how well the food traveled. Everything was packaged securely. The food that was supposed to be warm stayed warm and the cold rolls stayed cold. There were plenty of soy sauce packets, chop sticks, napkins, and fortune cookies provided too. Everything tasted great. The food was super fresh fresh, saucy, and flavorful. The rice was perfectly fluffy. Insanely delicious! When I ordered at around noon on a Saturday, it was super quiet and empty. I was literally the only person in there. It was rather dark in there with some subtle music playing. The staff were friendly and quick to check me out. I do appreciate that there is 15 minute pick-up parking directly in front of the door. Can't wait to go back!

He also had a Hazy and they had many options, I had the smoked mango and regular margarita which were great! We also had the tiramisu for our anniversary dessert and it was very nice of the restaurant to have it on the house. The waitress was very friendly and speedy. We can't wait to come back and try other foods.

So I know how Tonkotsu should generally taste. This was not it. What was good: the Chashu pork was very flavorful and delicious. What wasn't good: The broth. It was very bland. So much so that I even drank some of the broth by itself to see if any other flavors were masking it. Nope. It really didn't have much of a flavor. The soft boiled eggs looked like they had been made several hours prior, maybe even a day prior. I'm neutral to the noodles. It looks like they used Tokyo style noodles, which is fine, but I find the Hakata style is better in my opinion. I also ordered Karaage. I was hoping it would have been handmade, it seems to have been premade. It was ok, the dipping sauce was good though. Overall, the ramen would fall into the mediocre Japanese ramen range. So while it's not bad, I would have expected better food for paying over $30.

Sushi restaurant or a nightclub?…read more My friend and I decided to go for a night out Downtown. When we arrived at about 7:00pm, we were told there would be about an hour wait. Despite this long wait, there were actually quite a few empty tables, but was overall still very busy. When you put yourself on the waitlist, they notify you through text when your table is ready. This gave us ample time to walk around Downtown while we waited. When we received the table-ready text (just short of an hour later), we were sat quickly in a nice U-shaped booth. This seating arrangement felt a bit awkward for a party of two, especially if you are sharing food. The booth is too big to be sitting close enough to reach but too small to not feel awkward. It is perfect for people watching though since the booths face the entire restaurant. By this time, the restaurant was completely packed, with just about every booth, table, and barstool occupied. Our waiter came quickly to take our drink orders. We got a Cucumber Martini and an Espresso Martini. The Cucumber Martini was incredibly light and refreshing. The Espresso Martini was not impressive. It didn't have a strong espresso flavor and was rather watery, but still alright. This is the type of restaurant, that especially on busy nights like this where they don't accept reservations, you should allocate a lot of time for the dinner service for. There is a significant time gap between each time the waiter comes around to take your order. There was probably 15-20 minutes between placing our drink, appetizer, and meal orders. This was not a problem for us, but if you are eating here before making a show at the Gallo Center, this may be something to consider. For our appetizer, we ordered the Salmon Ceviche. It was insanely good. It was subtly spicy and citrusy. The chips that came with it were light and not oily at all. I wish the portion was larger because the two of us swallowed it up in just a few bites. For our entree, we got the Salmon Tataki and Goodi Rolls to split. They were both very good and came out on a lovely platter. They tasted very fresh and high quality. The prices here are on the higher side but is nice for a special occasion or splurge. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. He was super friendly too. The restaurant was super lively. They were playing club music which was totally a vibe. It looked like this was the spot people hit before going out for the night. I noticed they were accommodating for both small and large parties, serving both rather quickly. I'll be back!

Saw their pictures on Instagram and was about to try so many times but haven't got a chance. Today I passed by I decided to give them a try. Bought 2 grilled pork "banh mi" and ate one on the way driving back. Delicious! I've been craving "banh mi" for long time but couldn't find any authentic ones in Modesto. . Luckily I found them ! They will definitely see me a lot from now on since I live very close by lol. read more
