Ok. This is my feel good place when i am sick or feel sad or just want a good pho. I like to good home an put it all together in my favorite Bowl for pho an sit an watch tv. I love how they always think of the customer but hey if the owner ask no dogs inside pls respect that because some people don't like animals around when they eat but you can ask if you can sit near the door an see if they will let you. I personally don't like dogs in the restaurant it makes feel like it isn't clean. Trust me , i know dogs are cleaner sometimes then people it was how i was raise on the farm. No dogs or cats at the table but would i do it at home oh yeah because that is my house an no one tells what to do there but me. So with that said the pho is always good i call it in an pick up an go home to enjoy. Yes, I have sat down an ate an it was very nice an peacefully there that when i left i was calmer than when i when in, hey we all have bad days but that day i left with a full stomach an a smile . yes there is other wonderful items to eat like chicken sandwich an...

I always get the number 21 pho, chicken wings, and eggrolls I always finish my food Food is amazing, warm and cozy like home. Extremely comforting setting.

I've been here 10+ times, since September, it's not February
One thing to keep in mind though, 4% charge when you pay with card. A lot of little shops do that though, but that's how you know!!!! It's SUPER authentic. This place is my home, when I'm at school.
If you become a regular, they're so humbled to be...
Read moreI had this at 5 stars but in fairness I had to move it down a notch to 4 stars because the banmi wasn't what I expected.
Anyway, was looking for a lunch spot near my hotel and came across Pho Xpress. A nice find. Service was super fast. The pho was outstanding. I had the rare steak with brisket and it was amazing. The fresh condiments were outstanding. Also, the Vietnamese Espresso caught my attention and it too was well prepared and hit the spot.
The only down-fall was the beef sandwich (banmi). Usually Vietnamese spots are known for their crunchy bread and fresh toppings. My sandwich lacked the crunch and while overall acceptable, my expectations for a good banmi...
