Vietnam Express — Restaurant in San Antonio

##Previous owner, where are you now?

visited 9/17/25 Heads up this place is under new management. We did speak with the owner, supposedly they are known for their pho. I am hoping for the best, but the eggroll has changed significantly. It is still good but not the previous good, but I would still get it. Overall, this place is a solid 3.5 but 3.5 isn't an option I'll give a 4 for now. Been to this place twice now. Beef pho is good didn't feel any MSG affect, but I would avoid eating pho especially when its triple digits outside and their A/C couldn't handle cooling the place down. 3.5 star for the pho.

On the 2nd visit ordered the fried eggroll with vermicelli. The eggroll to thin wrap and the filling was on point. I'd say a solid 3.5 the water down fish sauce was lacking the umph. The banh mi with jambon was good but for the price they need to add a little more meat to it. Give it a good dash of the soy sauce and it's a solid 3.5. Would I come again, for sure. I think some of these minor fixes would make this place a diamond in the rough. I think if you want to introduce people to fish sauce do it right IMO. Of all the Vietnamese place I have visit this one I've enjoyed the most. I visited this place today 5/21 I ordered the bun with pork and eggroll, just the perfect amount of food for the famish. The eggrolls were light airy and crispy, I love how thin the wrap is, and the grill pork was awesome too. Now let's go back to the fish sauce it was ass kicking; they knocked it out of the park!!! Changing their rating to a 4. 8/20/25 The fried spring rolls here is the best IMO. I order the usual...

A hidden gem, y'all

• the interior is always clean. As soon as someone leaves, the table is immediately tidied • the service is always cordial and gentle. They're not boisterous and over the top with their customer service, but instead it's a quiet, soft, and peaceful. Always so polite and helpful! • the food is INSANELY GOOD!!! we always get the spring rolls. They're full of delicious veggies, shrimp, and meat. The peanut sauce is 🤌🤌. It's thick and creamy and full of flavor. They DO NOT water down their peanut sauce here! I usually get the Vermicelli Bowl with Pork & Eggrolls. The pork is thinly cut and rolled up and I'm assuming they pan sear it? It's always crispy on the outside. The veggies are fresh and never wilted. The eggroll is always fresh out of the fryer so be careful! I really enjoy their fish sauce. I always ask for extra. Never watered down and always has a delicious flavor. their Bun Bo Hue is immaculate and has great depth of flavor. Their chili oil is not to be trifled with - it's hot as hell so ask for it on the side, if you must (I do) their drinks are so delicious! I like their Peach Orange & Lemongrass tea. There's even bits of fruit as a treat to eat at the end. Their Vietnamese coffee was good, too. sometimes I'll come buy just to pick up some pho broth bc I'm craving it. It's that good.

I haven't tried their full menu but I've never had a bad experience here. I can't wait to go back 🩷 don't forget they're closed...

We first went cause we wanted pho and didn't want to drive far. We ordered the spring rolls which were surprisingly the best I ever had and had a generous amount of filling. The pho hit the spot. The meat portion was not as generous as other places but was just good enough. I liked that they give you your own individual pho toppings for each person. The service was 100%! both times we went they packed the leftovers for you. Second time, we wanted chinese food but didn't want to go far. Got the sesame chicken special comes with chicken rice Rangoon and tea for $11.99. Great all day deal! It was good as well. The fried rice really didnt have much flavor but the chicken had enough flavor for the rice if you eat it together. The sauce had a deep soy sauce flavor if that's your thing. My husband got the chicken fried rice and that was really flavorful and good amount of chicken. 👍 👍 they have tropical teas that must be tried! Got the peach and lychee tea that was really good! I was surprised that it had actual lychee and peach in it. Very refreshing. They also have bahn mi sandwiches and bun bowls that we will be going back to try!! Definitely check...
