    Small restaurant, cute decor, fast and efficient service, the food was delicious, the spice was just right for each dish. I recommend calling ahead as they get very busy and it is pretty small inside. I recommend trying the spicy pad Thai and the Thai iced tea - both were very yummy!

    Came here for lunch. The restaurant is small but they accommodate our group of 9. The restaurant is a fusion of thai and viet. The staff was friendly. The was good. Everyone enjoyed it. The chicken satay was moist and not dry like some places make it. The curry puff was a crowd favorite. Perfectly flakey exterior. The pad see ew was standard but the beef was a little dry. The crab fried rice was good. We will definitely be going back again.

    We found this amazing restaurant on tik tok and we were so happy that we did, the place is pretty small but has so much to offer. The food was perfect between spicy and savory, the service was very fast and the restaurant and the whole installation was clean and well The place got really packed super fast, by 7 pm they were barely tables so consider that, so plan accordingly There is also a lot of delivery options which is pretty convenient! Lastly I would definitely suggest to check their Ice Thai tea because it was SPECTACULAR !!! Would definitely recommend to come back!

    Cash only! We stopped in for lunch and ordered two of the lunch special pad see ew noodle one with shrimp and the other with beef. The lunch specials also came with a cup of tom yum soup, which we both got, and it was fine, or a salad along with a spring roll which wasn't bad either. The food tasted good but was such a small serving size. We also ordered a Thai ice tea and a lemonade Thai ice tea, which was much better than the normal tea. It was a little annoying that when we sat there were no utensils at the table or any table, and we had to wait for them to bring them to eat our food. Not sure if we'll go back. Cash only!

    Shrimp Pad Thai

    We absolutely love Theo Thai Bistro! The food and service are consistently excellent every time we visit. If you're looking for authentic Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, this is definitely the place to go. The owners and servers are incredibly welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. It's one of those spots we keep coming back to again and again.

    For Halal Pho and Banh Mi, you will not find any place better. The Halal Pho portions are huge and the broth is very clean and tastes great. The beef is always tender and marinated and delicious. The literal only downside to this place is the pho and banh mi are so delicious they become sold out for the day. Even when that happens, their tom yum soup is great and their drunken noodles are very solid as well It's a nice low-key date spot as well as a nice spot for families. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough. Just so you know I'm not full of it, I willingly drive 40+ minutes to eat here and never regret it once!

    Very cute restaurant with exceptional service! Place was very clean with lots of food options. Will come back again to try rest of their menu. Great for dates and family gatherings. The shrimp/chicken dumplings were a little dry and needed more flavor. And the banhmi was a little too soggy. Basil fries rice with tofu was delicious!

    Steamed Thai Dumpling

    Food was great tasted very fresh, service was very friendly, accommodating and attentive, and the ambience was very vibey! Will definitely be coming back!

We went for the lunch special which had two options: $12 lunch with choice of appetizers & main or $15 lunch which is the same as the $12 option but just includes a choice of drink. We both got Vietnamese Coffee. I got the iced and she got the hot version. The iced Vietnamese coffee is already premixed, but the hot version they give a side of the condensed milk so you can add as much or little you want. I tried their spring rolls which had a nice crisp bite. It was also served with pickled daikon and carrots for a nice refresher. For the entree I got the pho bo vein which had beef meatballs as the protein. The basil, jalapeño slices, bean sprouts and lime slice are on the side, so you can add as much to your liking.

I did not notice until I was mostly complete with my sandwich, but luckily did not bite into the pepper before noticing the fuzz growing on it. However, you can clearly see the fuzzy pepper in the picture I took before digging in. I got the lunch special, which features a drink, app, and entree. The lemonade was nice and fresh tasting, the crispy wings were fantastic, and the banh mi was actually very tasty. Not the best I've had, but it was flavorful and the pickled veggies tasted fresh. I was very disappointed to find a moldy pepper, which ultimately ruined the experience for me. Hopefully, nothing I actually ate was bad, and this pepper was the only one that went missed in a kitchen check. I hate to turn folks away from a nice local spot with good tasting food, but I will never recommend a spot with moldy food.

There are some pictures on the windows on what dishes are what. I got the shrimp pho and my husband and I both got this vermicelli type salad. Everything was DELICIOUS. We also got these rolls that were amazing as well. The service was great. I'm assuming it was the owner, was the one who was helping us, and was amazing. He said the soul was ready before the vermicelli 'salad' and asked if we wanted it out first. We said sure and both enjoyed the soup. I myself put too much Sriracha in it so it was too spicy but that was totally my fault, not the owners. I put a little in at first and it didn't see like it went through enough, and then I put a bit more and it was too much. There also was a bbq type sauce on the table as well. From what I'm assuming. My husband and I will one hundred percent be coming back to try more!!! I highly recommend this place

It now has a Vietnamese/Asian vibe going. The menu has also been updated: Salt Pepper Frog Legs - it is said that frog legs taste like chicken. In this case, I have to agree that the fried frog legs tasted like chicken wings, which is a good thing. 4/5 Beef Stew - unlike the tomatoey beef stews at some other Vietnamese places, the beef stew here is a little starchy from the potatoes and reminded me of Colombian Oxtail stew.

Really homey feeling and typical of Vietnamese restaurants. The Noms: Pork and shrimp spring rolls- one of my favorite appetizers... generous portions of pork and shrimp, all neatly wrapped in rice paper. The peanut sauce is the best. I always order an extra serving Classic Banh mi- my husband and I always order two and they're very filling. It's not exactly like the Banh mis from California because the bread is not the same... but it's still very good and comes close. It definitely satisfies my craving while I'm waiting for my next trip home. Beef pho- I really enjoy their pho. It's good the broth is very flavorful.... In Cali, we have several different types of beef pho (dac biet, tai, gau, Bo vien, etc...) but this beef option has all of them mixed in along with some tripe (which I don't care for) so just make sure that you're aware of that and can adjust what kind of beef you want in your pho. In conclusion: I am happy to support this mom and pop shop and enjoy their food very much... while they are "cash only", they do accept Venmo/Zelle... I actually order delivery quite frequently to-go and have Billy saved in my Zelle account so that I could square away my bill and cut out Seamless and GrubHub, who take too much from struggling restaurants. Def recommend stopping by and enjoying authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Park head in and do not park in the employee parking lot or else a ticket can cost you $75! Pho is one of my favorite food so I have pretty high standards, but low expectations for this place. Upon walking in, I was surprised to walk into an empty restaurant and the waiter greeted us and informed us that we could sit anywhere. I saw there were proper sauces (hoisin and Sriracha) on the table as well as stainless steel chopsticks and soup spoons! The waiter asked us our preference for water and handed us the menus. The menu is pretty condense with no drinks like Thai Iced Tea or anything. My friend and I shared an appetizer, the shrimp spring rolls. They were perfectly crispy and cooked. Wrap it with lettuce and dip into the fish sauce - it was perfection! I ordered a Normal Beef Pho and my friend ordered a beef banh mi. The pho comes in small, normal or x-large. My appetite is average and the normal was perfect size! The soup is well flavored and noodles perfectly textured, not too soft or hard. The meats needed a bit of work especially the meatballs. My friend enjoyed her banh mi and said it was sufficient enough to fill her up. The color of everything looked really good and I will probably try it next time! The restaurant accepts credit cards, but there is a 2.5% surcharge so cash preferred! There is also a one stall restroom, very clean and spacious. Great customers service and delicious food! Will be back another day with more friends!!

    I was worried that we would lose the nice tiny local pho place when the previous business shut down…read moreand was glad to see Pho XPress take over the space! Menu is pretty identical, a choice limited selection of hot soupy pho, banh mi, and bun dishes. It is a tiny little place, though there are seats available for dine-in. I do think they're smart for offering the "American" options like burgers and tenders so that you can accommodate for people who may be picky. We got summer rolls to share, and I had a small beef pho. I love that there are smaller and bigger size options available. They don't try to razz you up with bone marrow and premium beef cut options-- a combo beef pho with meatballs, flank, and brisket meat is the standard. I do like tripe when it is available, but I understand that's not a popular choice. The soup came hot and with the proper basket of sprouts, herbs, jalapeño and limes on the side. We also got a classic prok banh mi and it came with a ton of veggies and herbs (especially cilantro, which other places are now stingy with!) I didn't get to try, but I was told it was a good sandwich. The broth could have been a touch more beefy, but it was good enough to satisfy my stomach on a very windy day. Overall, I am glad Pho Xpress is maintaining a decently-priced Vietnamese joint at a time where it's becoming difficult to find anywhere decently priced. I want to try getting take-out soon.
