Pho Saigon Express — Restaurant in Escondido

The overall current rating is well deserved. First time here. Great experience. I've only had pho a handful of times. Usually with sliced beef filet and brisket. Got the same thing here. Best broth I've had, hands down. I read a ton of reviewers posts going back a year, and I only saw two recurring complaints. 1. Light basic broth. 2 price. Maybe I just got luck, or maybe they came in a bad day, but the broth was superb. Str8 Fire 🔥🔥🔥. Best I've had of almost any broth. Including the ramen I've had. Definitely tied for first. The pricing is high. However, you get what you pay for. The portions are not skimpy, quite generous in my opinion, and the quality of the food and flavor is deserving. If you have a problem with the pricing, blame Biden. Stop eating fast food. And stop holding good establishments to the same pricing standards of the sub par joints you settle for. Aside from the pho, I ordered the crispy tofu app garlic and onion style. I have eaten more than my weight in tofu over the years and this was by far the best I've had, including tempura. Super light unique batter. It was perfect.

If you don't mind coming out of pocket for GOOD good great food, drop by here. If you get pho and you are worrying about bang for your buck get large size. It's like a dollar more but the bowl is twice the size and the broth is the...

Priscilla and the staff at Pho Saigon Express are the absolute best! They are super friendly and get to know all their patrons by name, which makes the dining experience so warm and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious! They have such a large selection of Asian cuisine to fulfill all your cravings, from Pho to Chinese and even Thai! Everything I have ever ordered from them has been exceptional and isn't too greasy or unhealthy. The portions are very generous and I usually have leftovers for 2-3 meals afterwards! My favorite dishes are their chicken pho noodles, chicken wings, C3 (Chow fun noodles with plenty of vegetables), orange chicken, fresh spring rolls and fried rice! You can't go wrong with anything you order here!

Due to COVID-19, they are offering take out only and today when I picked up dinner for my husband and I, I felt very safe with the extra precautions they took. All the staff wore face masks and gloves, there were clear signs to make sure everyone stayed at least 6 feet apart, and the restaurant looked very clean and tidy. My food was ready quickly so I didn't wait long at all, which was much appreciated.

You won't be disappointed by their service or food! This is a great safe option for takeout if you need a break from preparing home meals....

Double check your ticket/ check before paying. My family and I visited this place last week while in town and noticed that our bill was incorrect and when I asked for them to change it, the guy argued saying it was the correct prices. I had to show him the menu and it was only then he changed it. If they make this “ mistake “ with every patron it can definitely add up for them.

On the other hand this place was pretty busy and is favored by a lot of locals which we can see why. The menu is huge and offers many Asian cuisines from mostly Vietnamese, some Chinese, some Thai and even a couple Filipino dishes and is even vegan & gluten free friendly. Half my family is vegan so this is a great place for both omnis and vegans due to their options. Since it was listed as a Vietnamese restaurant and saw the menu was mostly Vietnamese Cuisine, we all just got different Phos and I love that they have a true pho flavor soup that was made with veggies and the traditional pho spices. It was tasty and packed with fresh veggies BUT it was definitely on the sweeter side. Even the broth felt sticky after it spilled a little on the table. I’m not sure if this is the norm here or just that day that they put way too much rock sugar in their broth but either way it was too...
