This place a great! Huge menu with a big selection. All cuisines are quite authentic with Pho, Thai, and Chinese dishes available. The owner is super sweet and nice, always there to greet you with a smile. Staff is very attentive. I highly recommend the Tom Kha soup! read more

This is one of my favorite pho places in Escondido. I was craving pho and they were still open so I ordered and when I got the food I say the little saying how they're struggling to stay open. If you love pho you definitely need to buy from here!!! Food is amazing and so are the drinks. If you never had Thai tea with coconut milk you definitely need to try. read more

I come here all the time, never disappointed. It's nice that they are doing take out right now during the coronavirus. I'm always pleased with their service, cleanliness and speed with ordering and the short amount of time it takes to get my order. The appetizer always comes out first followed by the main course, I usually get large pho, delicious. I hope this place is around for a long time. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES ! ! ! ! ! read more

Disappointed! We've been coming here for years and this is the first time the Chicken in the Pho looks like this. Looks like Deli Sliced Chicken and it smells bad. I understand the supply issues on chicken, but to resort to Deli meats as a substitute. Just spent $67 for soup, and 2 dinner plates. A very disappointing dinner.... Last time eating here! read more

Obviously times have changed and service is a lot different during the current incredibly trying times. That being said, I ordered out today from our usual Pho' restaurant and I can tell you the food quality and service hasn't missed a beat. Priscilla was her same-incredibly positive self and was greeting guest as they walked into the (social distancing) 6ft step line. Ordered Two Pho Tom (Shrimp), a Steak Banh mi, and shrimp spring rolls. Food was packaged both securely, Safely, clean and well presented. Obviously tasted incredible as usual. I hope these guys survive just fine as I will continue to patron their restaurant for many years to come! read more

Expensive, bland food Asked for white meat only and they gave me thigh meat. My food came out 1 minute later....really??!! and it smells in the restaurant like a bacteria infested rag is used to clean the tables. read more

Amazing food for a family friendly price. The phó is packed with flavor with fresh ingredients. I've been coming here for years! The family owned establishment makes for great service and a home cooked meal vibe. They also serve Chinese food! Much better than your neighborhood fast food Chinese establishment. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them, give them a try read more

Stopped by for late night meal and it was fantastic. Service was great and food was even better. Don't mind the sketchy neighborhood, this place is well worth it. My family of 4 with an appetizer are for $45 and was worth every cent. We will be back soon. read more

Ordered delivery through the Yelp app. GrubHub fulfilled the delivery. Timely, food hot, and omg so yummy. Prices seem a tad steep but I can't say the food wasn't worth it. It was. I'll be ordering again and will visit the restaurant someday when COVID is over. Update will follow that visit. :) read more

This review is not only about the food but how this business is handling COVID-19. My family decided to order some take Out to celebrate the new year and wanted to try something new. We ordered online and that was very easy. The menu is extensive and there are options for everyone! The food was good, We are. Willing to try this place again when things are not so crazy. However, our food was cold by the time we got it home. I live 7 mins from the restaurant. Our pick up time was 6:10 and we arrived right at 6:10 for pick up. we were told we had to wait in line to get our food even though we had already paid. There were bags of food sitting on a table and I noticed my name so I walked up and grabbed my food. Who knows how long it was sitting out as it was cold when we got it home. My BIGGEST ISSUE is that this location is allowing patrons to DINE INSIDE! They are not even trying to abide by the rules and there were plenty of families sitting inside and eating. There were far to many people in the building and social distancing was tricky. I understand that people need to survive however they could be taking better precautions during this trying time. I was very disappointed by this. Again the food was good and I would be willing to try it again I just don't agree with how they are ignoring all the rules for COVID-19. read more

I put in an order and prepaid thru yelps grubhub thing. I went to pick it up, and i find the whole restaurant filled with people without masks and eating at tables, even though there's a statewide no-dine-in order. One of the staff coughed while i was there. I asked the clerk why there was dining. She said she was defying the order. I immediately canceled my order and i expect all my money to be refunded. The restaurant should have told me they were being irresponsible and letting people inside their building. I would've avoided their business from the start. You should avoid this place as well. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I've tried other Vietnamese restaurants and there's nothing like this one. The food is beyond delicious and fresh, the restaurant is clean and smells so good. The employees are hard workers and the owner seems to know all of her customers by name. When I call for a to go order the owner knows who I am just by hearing my voice and she knows what my usual is. I love this place! read more

Had another wonderful meal from here! They never ever let me down. You have to try their basic broth. So flavorful! The Filet Mignon is so so good! read more

Customer service, Customer service... amazing... How many places remember your name every time you go, no matter how long it has been since you have been there? Even better than the customer service is the food, as Tony the tiger says.. it's Greeeeaaaaat! The food comes out super fast! the water glasses are always full! They are always very helpful with suggestions to try new things ( and they seem to even remember what you normally order as well )! I highly recommend this place, fast friendly, delicious and the price is spot on! Do yourself a kind and stop on by! Order the Filet Mignon dish, fantastic!! read more

Ok I've been here twice now and each time I've been impressed. Getting here isn't difficult and parking is even easier. It was a rainy day, so I was happy that I grabbed a spot right in front of the restaurant. This place is small but has a bunch of tables. There's one TV so be sure to grab a table facing it. Now to the food... I had the P1 which is the combination pho. It was a heaping amount of food for only $8! I added all the bean sprouts, jalapeños and mint leaves which made my bowl so flavorful. Also, i added a few drops of Sriracha if made my meal so colorful. It was intensely flavored and very fresh. My server was very friendly and welcoming and so was the owner. She came by to check on me and the other customers. I was in and out in less than an hour and told myself I had to come back again... So I did. The second time around, I went with a sand which. The sand which was very fresh and the bread was perfectly made. For less than $6, you can't find a better sandwich in the area. Again, my server was friendly and suggestive. The owner was welcoming again and checked one me ass well as the other customers. If you're looking for delicious food that won't break your wallet, this is a great place to go. You can thank me later! read more

Pho Saigon Express - Pho Bo Vien (noodle with beef ball) - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

There are so many things about this place I love. It all starts the moment you walk in. Pleasant greetings are offered by the kind owner Pricilla as she quickly finds an open table. I've been coming here for many years and have tried almost everything on the menu. Some of my favorite dishes other than their lovely Pho are as follows: Napoleon Beef, Chicken Curry, BBQ Shrimp, Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls, Crispy Calamari, East Coast Style "Crispy" Chow Mein combo and these all go great with either Vietnamese Iced Coffee or sweet Thai Tea. This is probably my "go-to" restaurant for lunch as it's always freshly prepared and tasty. I would recommend to anyone and suggest you give it a shot. With their long menu I would bet you'll find something that will exceed expectations. I will miss my weekly visits to this place living in Oregon, but you know I'll be back for lunch whenever I'm in town. I wish you all the best and thank you for the wonderful meals served over the years. Cheers! read more

Pho Saigon Express - Yellow chicken curry with vegetables is the bomb! - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

This was the first place where my friend convinced me to try Vietnamese sandwiches... 3 years ago. Ever since, they have held my personal title of "best Vietnamese sandwich" in the north county region! The sandwich is a little over 6-7 inches long. The bread tastes so fresh, warm, and has a nice crispy crust with a soft interior. Inside, there is an abundance of pickled daikon & carrots with other leafy greens and some mayo. I asked that they hold the mayo though. The chicken sandwich comes with chicken thighs that I think are marinated with fish sauce and sugar. They are not stingy about their chicken portions either!! That's what makes them stand out to me the most out of other restaurants. For only $4.99, I can get a chicken sandwich that tastes relatively healthy and fresh that will keep me full for 5-6 hours at the hospital. Which says a lot because I'm usually always hungry from walking around so much. Thanks for saving me the trip to Kearny Mesa for that Banh mi craving! read more

Pho Saigon Express - Grilled chicken Banh mi $4.99 - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

Food- The food was ok, it came hot to the table however the taste was off. The orange chicken was ok and the Kung pao chicken was ok I think it need more veggies. My husband got the pho with chicken, he said it was good. We also got the fried chicken wings, those were pretty good. My son got the mango Boba he liked it. Service- Service for sure is 5 stars they were very friendly and our water cups were always filled. They greeted us and came over to make sure everything was ok. Great job guys. Plus the food came out pretty fast. Inside- The tables were clean and wiped down, the soy sauce was wiped down and not dirty or sticky, that in my book is perfect! I can't stand going to a restaurant where they are sticky, because if those aren't clean what else isn't clean? ( well I'll leave you with that thought). read more

I haven't been here in so long but today I walked in and it was just the same. Friendly service, delicious food, clean environment. I got the yellow curry this time and finished it before I could could get a photo of it. I am pleased to know that the service is still excellent and the food good as ever! read more

Literally my favorite place to get pho!!! It's so close to home, both physically and emotionally I've been going here ever since it opened when I was young and continue to as I'm older now. I always mix up what I get in pho, but usually get as much of the meats that I can - trying to learn and distinguish which is which (mostly the tai and nam) The service is impeccable. Everyone is always so nice. The owners also walk around a lot and also serve! Such a great place. read more

Great food and service, staff was very attentive. The value of the food and the taste was excellent.

This place is a staple in Escondido. Every time we go there, we order take out and the order is perfect each time. Priscilla is always there to greet you with a smile (you can even see it through her mask!) and the food is delicious! Normally we order Pho which is always excellent, but we also have ordered orange chicken, Bahn Mi, honey chicken, pad Thai, spring rolls and egg rolls. I definitely recommend their food!! Thanks Pho Saigon Express for being open and continuing to serve your delicious food to us during this time! read more

Thanks YELPERS! After a long day at the Safari Land not too far away...I Yelped and found this Pho restaurant nearby. Yelpers leave truthful comments and also post nice pictures! I chose Pho Saigon Express over the other pho restaurant down the street because of the pictures of the huge inside of PSE. Plenty of parking, credit card ok for a pho place, clean, friendly staff, huge seating area, plenty of TVs and a nice menu with a lot of items from Pho to Com (rice) to Banh Mi. Their fried egg rolls weren't that bad (I've had better though) and their pho was pretty good. I think I stated before, you can't really make a bad bowl of pho. I especially liked the small order that had tons of rice noodles in the bowl! I'd only wish Thai noodle restaurants added lots of rice noodles like PSE. Wow...a restaurant that employed young Latino males as their waiters? Cool...they knew was on the menu and you could order in Vietnamese and they'd understand what you wanted. Good stuff and I recommend this place if you're actually in the predominantly Latino neighborhood here in Escondido. read more

The best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. The service is super fast. Waiters are very courteous, they take care of your orders quick. Food is great. Love the barbecue! Update: This restaurant continue to provide excellent service even during difficult times where everyone is on lockdown. The orders are prepared in a good amount of time, packed well and clean. Priscilla greets you at the door when you pick up your order curbside and asks how your family is doing. She takes care of her customers so I don't mind going back to her restaurant to show some support during this tough time. read more

Absolutely delicious food!! Extremely fast delivery through door dash as well. I got an extra order of their combo fried rice (pictured) that I saved for the next day. When I reheated it for my husband and myself it was SO good. There was so much freaking rice with all kinds of delicious goodness including shrimp jam packed in there. We were both very hungry and split a container and still had leftovers. I highly recommend!! Pictures never do justice but let me tell you this rice was filling and delicious AF! read more

Pho Saigon Express - Combo rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Escondido, California

They stopped outdoor dining. Young female owner said "It's too expensive to do it that way." Altho' they claim to follow the covid restrictions, they sat a couple at a booth next to us who didn't even wear their mask coming in. The couple's head was inches from touching the back of my senior mother's head - and the man kept sneezing without covering his mouth. When I mentioned it to the staff, they just gave us a blank look. Additionally, we observed staff carelessly wiping off dining tables for the next customers, with the same unsanitized rag and without using any kind of disinfectant. At this point, because of the serving staff's carelessness, we don't know if the cook in back even wears a mask. Took the rest of our orders to go... if any one at my table gets covid, I'm holding this restaurant responsible. read more

Love this place! Great food and awesome customer service. Priscilla is a sweetheart. We used to live in Escondido and ordered food from here often.
