Pho Express & Specialties

Fantastic egg rolls and pork which completed my day, however their taro milk tea didn’t reach my expectation, tasted like jasmine milk tea…

Great tasting phở, what more can you ask for. I frequent this place for lunch because its super fast, great food. The waitress can be a bit cold when you first meet her, but she quickly remembers your order if you’re a regular. She’s actually a sweet person in disguise. If you’re looking for a quick, cheap, delicious lunch, you can’t beat arguably the best phở in Redmond. If you’re looking for something less salty but just as delicious, try Yummy Phở (also in Redmond).

I like this place but I feel the chef is change taste want good as before I hope they bring him back

If your looking for fresh phở, this is the place ! My hubby and I came here around 11:30 on a Saturday morning. The place already had several customers. The restaurant is much more cleaner than your average Phở place. Food came in about 10 minutes and was as fresh as you can expect it. The broth is delicious ! I have never finished an entire bowl of Phở in my whole life until now !! My hubby and I had a good laugh that I was actually capable of finishing the whole bowl! Yes, it was that good !

I give these folks a three for the food and efficiency, and a one for friendliness. Most other places I go have better phở, but I’d go here more often as my life takes me to this area regularly near lunch time and I love phở and bon mi (there bon mi is great), but every time I go the dude and gal at the front are dour and unfriendly. That’s fine when you aren’t customer facing, but especially when it’s somebody you’ve seen before a greeting at the beginning and a thank you at the end are appreciated and necessary, along with a smile (even a fake one).
Or, maybe they think it isn’t necessary. Fair enough. Just don’t go here expecting anybody to be nice and your standards will be met. The food and pricing are just fine.

First of, change your description in google results, that you are not full bar but only beer. Second, your wait stuff is not nice to customers at all being rude with attitude, and the new waitress doesn’t know what the phở bowls sizes are.
Btw, phở is regular to my taste. Expected much and got dissatisfied.

My fiancé and I order takeout phở from here on a regular basis and it’s always good. Large portions, the sprouts and veggies they give you are always fresh, and the broth is tasty.
It’s nothing out-​of-​this-​world as far as phở goes, but it is flavorful and well priced.

Pretty cool place, can accommodate large groups, has a bar. The the tables are set up community-​style (with one big table). It was not crowded when I went to lunch with some colleagues, though. Slightly generic feel but at least it is clean and one of the only Phở places in the area.
The broth is really good. I don’t know how their other dishes are but the Chicken Phở was tasty.

I’ve been eating here for over 3 years and let me tell you, I have to be disappointed. They have some of the most flavorful Phở and friendliest staff around!
Of your not sure if you wanna come, let this review be your tipping point, CHECK THEM OUT! You will definitely not be disappointed!

Stopped here early on Saturday on our way home to Seattle because we were craving phở. Place was large and clean and very empty, only one other table. That being said the service was sooooo slow. After seating ourselves because no one was around to seat us, we had to wait another few minutes to get a menu. After ordering, our food came out at a reasonable pace, but then we were left to fend for ourselves. We never got water refills and they never brought us a check. After finishing our meal we waited 10 minutes and still nothing so we finally gave up and walked up to register area so we could pay and leave. As I said, THIS PLACE WAS EMPTY! No one here to keep the wait staff busy, they just were behind the scenes and couldn’t be bothered to check on their customers. –2 Stars for bad service with no reasoning.
Food was typical phở. I was disappointed because our noodles stuck together in one massive clump that was untypical of phở I’ve had before and very difficult to eat. –1 Star for dissatisfying dish.
Overall, I’d be hesitant to stop by again because phở was nothing special and the servers just ignored us. Being ignored when it’s busy is understandable, but if my waitress is too interested in goofing off and can’t refill my water or bring me my check, I’ll find another place to satisfying my cravings.

Oh man oh man! We have found our new fave phở place and bonus! They are three minutes form our house! I was craving a big bowl of delicious broth last night because I caught a cold that’s just terrible. Phở is my go to for when I’m sick and boy did they deliver!
Service was quick and friendly. The menu was well thought out and prices were reasonable. The dining area was clean and organized. There was a constant flow of people coming in and the staff turned the tables quickly. We weren’t rush and just had a nice «wife is sick but let’s do a date night anyways» dinner.
I got the dac biet (don’t kill me for the misspell!) phở and it was bountiful with meats! The taste was literally the best I’ve tasted and can’t wait to go back. I also ordered the chicken banh mi and it was sooooooo yummy!
We will be back for sure. And we will be bringing our friends and family!

Typical phở broth was seasoned prior to my adding anything.
Service was minimal, self seating, counter bill pay. Other than taking your initial order & placing the menus everything else was on you.
Egg rolls ended up having pork, not sure if that’s custom but was unexpected and disappointing because the weren’t eaten but paid for.
Décor was basic. Has a little hacienda feel based off the floor tile, paint choice and arch see through accents into the bar area .
The bathroom was just a bathroom the women’s nicer than the men’s. You ask how do I know this ?? Because I saw them both. I went into the women’s to wash my hands as well as my son and to take him potty — to my surprise when I looked down into the toilet there was a huge poop clogging the toilet. I tried to flush it, no luck.
So we went to the men’s which housed a ladder in the stall which was odd & a possible hazard. Anyway after we got back to the table I let the young lady know — an older woman went to investigate this is when it gets strange, she went behind he counter to go get chopsticks, & back into the bathroom, then back out again into the kitchen ! Got gloves & some Clorox wipes & headed back into the bathroom. Being honest it was hard to eat my food after that. I nervously watched hoping and assuring she didn’t come in direct contact with my food. My food came out just before she went back to prepping food in the kitchen .
Off to find a favorite phở place that will meet my sanitary needs. Feces is no joke is a sure way to get salmonella amongst other serious illnesses.

I think this place is pretty clean. There’s lots of room for seating. The waitress is great!
Highly recommend: grilled chicken ban-​mi sandwiches with phở. Sooooo good!

I love this place! Living right down the street makes it dangerous as its such an easy, delicious option for dinner. The spring rolls are delicious and are always fresh and crispy. The egg rolls are perfectly fried and crispy and love it with the vermicelli noodles. The chicken in the vermicelli has a great charbroiled flavor and is my go to meal. They are always friendly and prompt when we order and I’ve never had any complaints when ordering. I’ve tried the other vietnamese places in the area and none compare to phở express in taste.
The only thing I wish is that they would be open on Sundays!

The banh mi here is great! The bread is crunchier then most places and they give you a lot of meat, the meat kind of over powered the veggies but the sandwich itself was a good size. It was about 5 dollars which is an okay price in this side of town. My only problem is that the bread was greasy on the outside, unless the bread is fried I don’t know why it would be greasy.
Overall my expectation for the sandwich were low because normally phở places that dont specialize in banh mi have pretty bad banh mi but this place was good!

One of the Phở restaurant I bookmarked. I would say the Phở is decent, the broth was good but little oily. It will be a to go place once in a while only. Nothing special about it .
The service in another hand is average !!

Great choice when you want a good food fast.
Went here on my husband’s hour long lunch break. He got the phở, I got a bahn mi. Both were good, but definitely not the best we have ever had. The bread on the bahn mi was nice and fresh as well as the veggies on there. We were out of there in about 45 mins. Great for the working lunch crowd.

This place was ok. The place was clean and food was served fast! I like the bubble tea with cute sealed plastic lid to prevent spills! My phở soup was not as tastey. But it was edible.

Food was kind of good, not that spectacular.
The environment was nice.
However, service seemed lacking a bit.
I came in and I got ignored by the girl who works here, even I looked at her and she saw me. It was not that busy and later I saw a couple of people came in, they were greeted nicely. I did not see any smile on their faces. I know you guys are tired but job is job, you gotta do it properly!
I am also a server so I know what you guys have been through. But keep in mind that you need to treat everyone the same way.

Today was a good day for Phở because it’s freaking cold outside. Went here with 2 coworker. All of us ordered Phở. The broth was so average. It’s not bad, it’s not great. I ordered a large but they don’t give enough meat also give us a small plate of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime. Seriously!!! small plate for 3 bowls of Phở.
Service: It’s OK not as attentive but as expected for a Phở place.
Overall, I would drive a little more to a different Phở place in the area.
