When your in need of true comfort in a dish come here. The soup will hug your insides and make you feel warm. The rice and meat dishes will make you feel comfort and they taste absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a nice vibe and the tables are spacious. The servers are attentive and kind. The menu is massive! If you don't know what to try you could order smaller portion sizes or share with friends. I will be returning again to try more dishes soon! read more

Pho Viet Xpress - Vietnamese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

This spot is just okay for takeout and I've only had it for takeout. It opens relatively late compared to neighbouring joints (11pm). They did mess up our order I think we ordered the grilled chicken banhmi, they gave us the grilled pork and the Banh mi and it's not as tasty or fresh as other banh mi shops but it could be because we picked it up at the end of the day. The vermicelli was slightly better, but the spring roll being in the container left it a bit soggy by being steamed in the takeout container. I would recommend them having the fried spring roll on the dish set out on the side to avoid this. The fish sauce also tasted a bit watered down. Perhaps it's better dining in seeing all the positive reviews...My takeout experience seems to pale in comparison to Viet restaurants I had dining in. However, it's the end of the day before closing and I'm just glad to find something in the area that is open! read more

Service is so-so. The older female server never smiles, and whatever you ask her, she leaves you feeling like an idiot for asking a question. Food is also okay, but stay away from ordering the blood pudding here. They don't treat it well, so it has a foul smell when added to certain dishes read more

First time for lunch here! Great service. Thank you for the awesome food. Highly recommend it. read more

Decent, fast, and clean. The pho is alright and reasonably tasty, but nothing special. Service is fast and friendly (although expect to get up and pay at the counter). Meals arrive within minutes of ordering, as it should! As is true everywhere, price is a bit on the high side now at $16-$19 a bowl (depending on size) and the bowls seem to have shrunk a bit. Bring cash -- there's a 10% cash discount. read more

Pho Viet Xpress - 305L - "special" beef rice noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

This review is for delivery I got through Uber eats. Vermicelli with grilled pork, grilled chicken, meatballs, spring roll, pork skin (#412): The grilled chicken was better than the grilled pork as the pork was slightly overcooked. But, in general the dish was good and it was very well-packed. Pho - Rare Beef and Soft Tendon Rice Noodle Soup (#311) was fine. It's hard to assess textures since it was delivered rather than freshly cooked. But everything tasted good. In the future, I would probably not get pho for delivery. read more

An old school pho place that has paaaages of food option and efficient no-nonsense staff that are always busy. Food may not be the gold standard, but it is hot, plentiful and filling. I got the South Vietnam style noodle soup, which came with seafood, quail egg, BBQ pork and a bunch of veggies. It also unexpectedly came with a shrimp cracker on the side. Broth was light and clear, but the noodles had plenty of flavor. Also got the Penny wort leave juice. Never had it before. It had a very herbaceous flavor that went well with the meal. read more

We used to come here for pho a few years ago, haven't been back in a while but gave their seafood clear noodle with shrimp cracker a try and it was ok. The soup wasn't really flavourful. My friends got the satay and tomato soup but it was all pretty water down/not strong in flavours. The portions are really big though. I had a hard time finishing a large (smallest size they offer for their speciality noodles). read more

Pho Viet Xpress - Seafood clear noodle with shrimp cracker - Vietnamese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The good about this place is the restaurant interior. Among many Pho restaurant, this is considered to be nicely decorated and clean. The service was not very attentive. As I had to walk to the counter to pick up the menu, and then put in my order and then pay my bill in the end. But this restaurant is meant to serve you. Most disappointing would be the pho and spring rolls. Just the look of the spring roll is already telling me that this is more of the Chinese style wrap than the Vietnamese style. It is not crispy like how I used to eat them. The raw beef pho came very well done with only the tiny tip that is outside the soup that is raw. Also both the tendon and brisket are not soft in texture. The noodle is a bit on the chewy side. The soup is moderate, but at the end of day, I could feel the MSG kicking in. Overall, I will definitely not come back for pho nor the spring rolls. However, I do love their washroom. read more

It has been a while since the last time I have been to Pho Viet Xpress. I heard they have 15% discount on all orders for the month of March (2020) so I decided to check them out and take advantage of their deals. Luckily they have a dedicated vegetarian menu. I ordered #612 which is technically not Pho but is close enough! Very tasty and flavourful. Amazing portions. Affordable prices. Friendly and quick service. Cash or debit only. I strongly recommend it. read more

How do you look at your first love and tell her the mascara is dropping? If you never tried this place, you should. It's popular for good reasons and their Xpress Special beed rice noodle (Pho) remains a great signature dish. But is it the absolute best? No, and I feel the establishment may be struggling due to COVID. Pho Viet Xpress has a special place in our family's heart because it was our first Pho place. The kids learned to eat pho there and it became a regular family tradition. However, on our last visit, we noticed some cracks in the otherwise stellar facade. The broth of the pho felt a little more diluted than usual. There were pieces of hard fat in the fresh beef roll, and the pad Thai was too sweet. Please, don't read this and think you should skip this restaurant. The staff is fantastic, friendly, and fast. They are applying COVID restrictions admirably. The place is clean, and this is still a fine establishment. However, given the number of times we've been there, we can't help but feel it was better before. Additionally, the stiff competition from other outstanding Pho restaurants in Toronto means that any institution's mistakes get judged hard and fast. Overall, these were still minor issues. We didn't feel like we had to send anything back. And I honestly hope those are just tiny mishaps in a trying time rather than a sign of things to come. read more

Still trying to find a viet restaurant in the GTA that will top those of YEG (best viet food I've had thus far!!). Pho Viet Xpress is located in a plaza on Bathurst (& Steeles). There's a good amount of tables here & quite spacious and clean too - not cramped like alot of other viet restaurants. Service was ok - they're efficient but forgot to blanch the bean sprouts like we asked (sall gucci tho, I'll live ;) hahaa). There was a couple tables of Vietnamese families when we came so, it's gotta be at least somewhat legit right?! Been here a couple times and the food is pretty consistent. Cha gio (chicken, shrimp, & veggie filled) - I didn't like the wrapper they used... it's different than every other place. It's not a spring roll wrapper nor is it the rice paper wrapper; it's kind of dense and not that crispy. Pho tai - Really good, clean broth w/ well-rounded flavour. The amount of meat they gave each time we visited was a bit inconsistent - can be alot, can be a little. Vermicelli w/ nem nuong - Yummy grilled pork meatballs. Good bun. Hu tieu my tho - Good change of pace if you ever get bored of eating your usual order. It came with a shrimp cracker but, the shrimp in it was totally old... the texture and taste had totally changed (for the worse). The broth was very clear, not too heavily seasoned or rich. The clear noodles stay nice and springy. Price is totally average - maybe even slightly cheaper than the places in Markham & Pho Metro (still one of my faves). Overall, pretty good choice for viet if you're ever in the area! Food is good, service is good, and prices are helllla good. read more

I am used to travelling to Scarborough for Pho, so this is pretty good Pho for the Thornhill area. I ordered the XL (315-Well-Done Beef, Soft Tendon, and Beef Tripe Rice Noodle Soup) and the noodles were prepared in a styrofoam box container with the meat on top. The noodles were cold and were REALLY sticking together like a giant lump. It was as if the noodles were prepared well in advance and placed in the container as a ready to order. The amount of meat was limited and the bean sprouts, mint leaves and pepper came in a bag with hot sauce and hoisin sauce. Having a separate packet for sauces is a nice touch. Although one of the mint leaves looked very stale. The soup came in a separate container. There was a steady stream of people coming in and out of the restaurant. You can also order through their website (pay online if you wish) and the food is ready for pickup in 15 minutes or so. There's about 10 free parking spots in front, with a few more spots on the side. read more

I was craving pho after coming home from a friend's place, and since I didn't reach my step goals, I decided to walk there. My hunger diminished slightly from the two-hour exercise, so I ordered a large-sized house special. Their bowls were small, large and x-large - there was no regular. The clear broth was full of rich flavour - not too salty - complementing the mild spice of raw sliced onion toppings, enhancing its taste with the sweetness of Thai basils and beansprouts. However, the mix of rare and well-done beef lumped together as if it had previously frozen. read more

Because where this Pho restaurant is situated, it is relatively cleaner than its other pho siblings. You come here because you want to see how on fleek the staff's eyebrows are. Lol jk we're here for Vietnamese food, come on give me a laugh. So I would ONLY recommend Pho here, maybe a 4/5~The soup is great, and that's all that really matters, oh and they use noodles that are right for my taste. Sometimes you go to chinese owned Pho places and you get these noodles that aren't just quite right. But if that's what your used to then that's fine too, everyone has different taste, but this review isn't about you. The rice dishes (Com tam) 2/5~ the rice they use is just normal rice. For me this is a deal breaker. Like if you look good on the outside and have a horrible personality, it's just hard to swallow... figuratively. Vermicelli dishes 3/5~ I mean you can't really screw up here. Vermicelli and fish sauce then some meat. Of course you need to get Nem nuong (Viet pork sausage) with this or else I would question why you are getting this at all. They have a different take on this. It's not your usual red sausage cut up. But they have cute balls put on skewer, the taste is also different and unique. Not bad, but its just not what im used to. So there you have it, hope you enjoy your meal here! I wonder if you got to the end of this review :p read more

I've only had their pho and bun bo hue. Their pho is ok; much much better than their bun bo hue. Don't get the bun bo hue! Taste: 2.9/5 Their pho noodles taste like those dry ones that you can buy at the supermarket (I've made pho at home before, so I know the difference between fresh and dry noodles). The noodles had an "interesting" dry noodles aftertaste​... to the chef at the restaurant, you need to blanch the noodles better to get rid of that taste. Other than the noodles, I think the pho is pretty good. The broth tastes like pho broth, however,​ their bun bo hue tastes​ subpar. Their bun bo hue broth is a very watered down pho broth with fermented​ shrimp paste. I don't recommend the bun bo hue. Service: 3.5/5 It's not terrible. It is slow and I wouldn't say the staff is particularly friendly... for an Asian​ restaurant​, the service is average. Portion: 2.75/5 The portion is ok for pho. Their bun bo hue portion is terrible. It's mostly liquid... you barely get any noodles... even though it only comes​ in large and extra-large. The amount of noodles is smaller than a small. Meat: 4/5 Their meat is pretty fresh. Thumbs up for the meat. The issue is that the cut is not the best. It is a little tough because it's not thinly sliced and it is on the leaner side. For tender, juicy meat, you need a bit of fat. Recommend? I mean it's a decent Vietnamese​ restaurant. I'm neutral about this restaurant. Would I eat here again? I would eat here again but I don't crave their food. There're a lot of Vietnamese​ restaurants in Toronto, this restaurant isn't my first choice. read more

Came here tonight during our night out in Vaughan for dinner! My sister and dad ordered pho, my mom ordered a bun with pork blood, sausage, pork, and beef, and I got the bun cha ca (my first time). I had ordered a different dish initially (the 210), but they were sold out and so I had to resort to the 211. The broth was shallow in flavour, and frankly, quite tasteless. Like the other three bowls, mine came with a generous portion of garnishes and meat. I had six pieces of fish paste, four pieces of sausage, and two prawns. There was also a whole boatload of noodles! Although the fish cake tasted good, the overall dish failed to impress. Overall, an okay place, but I've had better. read more

Consistent quality. Very fresh garnishes. Take a lot of care when packing take out! See pics of the chicken noodle pho menu item - #308 (my fav). It is always busy, many families and friends eating. All the staff are best and professional in appearance, akin to fine dining establishments. There is a sense of occasion here, but the extremely reasonable prices and portions wouldn't tip you off. Highly recommended. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. We had a party of 6 and got a table right away. The first thing I noticed about the menu was there was no medium size order. Just small large or xl. I ordered the bun rieu and the 3 beans drink/dessert. The rieu was $10 for a large. When the bowl came .. it looked more like a medium. I've definitely had better bun rieu before. The broth was okay, very mild in flavours. The mixed crab meat was okay. They had slices of pork or chicken? in the bowl which was odd imo. The 3 beans drink/dessert came in a tall and skim glass... very hard to mix and eat from the glass.. bad choice of cup. Also I order a large and it looked like an extra cup cause even after I poured it in the to go cup it was not full. Unless how much smaller the small can be.... We ordered a large spring rolls and fried wontons to share. The fried spring rolls were okay nothing special, tasted like most places. The wontons were not the greatest. Felt like the meat inside the wontons were not fresh at all. Probably has been frozen for awhile. Would not recommend. I also tried the beef broth and it was okay. The Vietnam ice coffee was super strong. The service was okay here. Your typical asian restaurant. Definitely better Vietnamese restaurants. Most likely would not come back here. Overall the food was mediocre and for the price, I rather go someone where that's more tasty that cost the same. read more

Very popular place, everytime I come here there's usually a lineup so come early. Small groups are faster and preferred here. Overall, a great place for authentic and tasty Viet food experience. Food: Ordered the special house express beef rice noodle. I ordered the small and it was a good portion. It came with bean sprouts, Thai basil and lime. It came with beef, beef ball, tendon, etc. The texture of noodles was good and the broth was flavourful and not salty. Atmosphere: Very busy place with fast service. Casual seating so not a date place, more like a family style restaurant. read more

Spring Roll with Shrimps (score: 4.8/5) I have had this kind of spring roll many times. What makes this spring roll outstanding at this restaurant is the mint inside and not to mention the hoisin sauce with carrot slices and peanuts. They all work together in harmony to make this dish perfect. Seafood with Glass Noodle (soup on the side) (score: 5/5) Haven't had glass noodle for a long time. This item was recommended by a Vietnamese friend and showed me how to eat it. Instead of pouring the bowl of soup into the noodle, scoop a few spoonfuls of soup into the noodle according to my liking of saltiness. Crack the fried shrimp on the cracker into pieces and then mix the soup and the noodle as well as the seafood together to eat. Soooo delicious!! The only negative comment that I would say is the spring roll has taken a long time to arrive with several chase. read more

The soup is out of this world! Great service but it does get busy so come early. I was never a fan of just eating soup but got into it quicklyt. I eat it at least once a month if not two. Spicy beef pho is the way to go, the vermicelli is delish as well! Chicken and shrimp spring roll is tastey too. They also pack the soup to go well, just boil the soup at home and drop it in a bowl with all the noddles and meat. read more

Pretty good! I'm still on the hunt for the best pho place in North York but this place was a fairly good contender. A few points: * place was packed and this appears to be a popular spot with many regulars * the pho broth tasted great * the shrimp rolls were also great * the grilled pork + vermicelli + spring roll was okay. Not bad by any means, but I've had much better * menu was a bit pricier than most other pho joints All in all, not bad! read more

Am I living under a rock? This placed was easily missed by me as it is in a smaller plaza. Parking can get congested at times. Much larger than it looks and very clean.

Authentic, filling and I believe it's owned by Vietnamese folks. Soup base is fresh and served hot. Lunch time got busy fast and we soon discovered this place draws in a lot of hungry fans during this peak hour. I regretted ordering the fresh shrimp rolls, all I tasted was mint the whole time. Should've stuck to our all time favourite, the fried spring rolls. Next time for sure. Nothing really out of the box with expectations but getting what you paid for lands this place as my nearest go to pho restaurant. read more

I've been here quite a few times. I love the authenticity of their food but also found the taste a bit inconsistent. Totally agree with the review below that says their ingredients may not be the freshest sometimes and the dishes come out lukewarm, especially their pho. Service is fine. Again, there is so many servers around so it's really easy to call out one and they are very responsive. I do hope they improve so Pho Viet Xpress would become my first choice when it comes to Vietnamese food! read more

It's a good authentic-ish Vietnamese Resturant that serve a few items that other Vietnam Restaurants don't. That said their staff can be a bit rude at times and full of attitude, especially when they are busy. And be forewarned that sodium level in their soup based dishes are also a little too much at times. It doesn't really bother me, but friends I have taken here, have told me this a few times. read more

It is a great restaurant. Foods delicious. Service is quick. I get the spring rolls. The rare beef pho. Drinks are great too.

I've been here twice since the summer. It might be my favourite Viet place in the Richmond Hill/Markham/Vaughan area. I tried the house pho and the broken rice dish (com bi). Both were sensational. Great broth for the pho and the meat toppings were really good. My only gripe is the small amount of fresh bean sprouts and Asian herbs. The rice dish was good, the meat was marinated well and a hefty portion. The fried spring rolls are also some of the best I have had at a Viet place. Friendly service and prices! read more

Great local go-to for Vietnamese! Based on the name of this place, I probably wouldn't have tried it, but luckily my Vietnamese friends brought me here. We come here pretty often now, as it's one of our 3 go-to Vietnamese restaurants in the GTA. It's also a plus that this place is very spacious and clean, unlike a lot of other Vietnamese restaurants that are smaller and cramped. Our usual order is the 305 special xpress pho. The broth in their pho is good enough to not have to add additional sauces. If you're in the area and want some comfort food, try this place! read more

A Pho place close to home, can I be happier? Yes, because it is a good, tasty, even rather delicious Pho place close to home! Notes on the Pho: good clean broth, well flavored, no or very little MSG detected, plenty of toppings and condiments, slurpy noodles, variety of meats, arrives in a blink of an eye. Notes on other foods: Mango salad is OK, fresh rolls have too much lettuce, pad thai, omg why did I order Thai dish in a Vietnamese resto? Service: Attentive and friendly. Decor: Minimal, not distracting from Pho. Price: Code word "Affordable" I hope and pray so the quality of their Pho remains the same with time. read more
