Pho Viet Xpress

Phở-​nomenal! Came here for a Viet feast. Got the Northern Viet phở, fresh rolls and banh cuon. The rolls were super fresh and the vegetables added the much needed crispyness to the vermecelli and shrimp filling. The banh cuon (pork rice rolls) came with vegetablesand viet pâté on the side. It had an interesting taste. My favorite is the phở. The Northern Viet soup base was seasoned different from the typical phở bowl. The soup was not too greasy and the meat tasted fresh. Overall, it was an un-​phogettable experience!

First time going here and won’t be the last!
The restaurant is one of the cleanest Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been too. Service was fast and friendly. But most importantly, the food was EXCELLENT.
Can’t wait to return. This is my new favourite spot.

I came here for dinner last night and the food was great! I had the rare beef rice noodle soup and it was to die for. It was also both lactose and gluten free, which gives this place a huge star in my eyes. The soup was perfect and so delicious.
My friend ordered another rice noodle soup and he really enjoyed his dish as well. We also ordered the shrimp skewer appetizers and the rice paper veggie rolls. Everything was fantastic and the prices were really great! I can’t wait to go back for more rice noodle soup. I’ll definitely be bringing my family here so they can enjoy this hidden gem.

I live in the area and went for the first time today. The restaurant has nice décor and ambiance, clean and spacious.
They had no more rice rolls today so that was disappointing. main reason I came was for that.
Phở is decent, nice broth. Very small portion of noodles though. why skimp on that? Noodles are so cheap! They lose another star due to the lack of meat. I don’t think there was even one slice of beef. just a few shreds. Very disappointing.
The profit margins are huge for beef phở, is it necessary to skimp so much on noodles and beef?
Don’t think I’ll be a return customer.

Authentic vietnamese food in this area, except it’s very salty and seems the soup has lots of MSG in it which contributed to the flavour but personally I care more about the quality.

This place is spotless. I tried the pad Thai as the tips in Unilocal rated it so good. When I tried it, found it too saucy and it didn’t taste like pad Thai. There isn’t any sweet and sour taste to it.
I also tried the steamed rice noodle with pork. That was OK. I wish I have had order a bowl of noodle to try.

I have been eyeing this place for quite some time now. Every week I drive by it right after volleyball and I have been itching to stop by for the past half a year. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and I just had to dive in.
The soup is HOT, so hot it hurts immensely so beware. It felt like drinking boiling oil. LOL It’s not a complain but rather a compliment. I would rather have second-​degree-​burns inducing soup than something that is lukewarm. However, perhaps this is also one of the things that might have inadvertently ruined the phở… just a little bit. The heat from the soup further cooked the al-​dente noodles to overdone. Not a mood killer but still, it need not be so damn hot! Luckily the broth is quite tasty and full flavour.
The beef in the soup is negligible. Nothing worthy of mention here other than that it’s just your standard plain tasting, super thinly sliced cuts of beef. It was so thin it actually clumped up in the soup and of course it’s fully cooked once immersed in the 200 degree soup.
The vermicelli was also not worthy of mention. The grilled meats are okay in terms of flavour but a little too dry for my liking. There is inherently not enough meat-​to-​noodle ratio but you do get way too much noodles for your money. In fact that’s true for the phở as well; giant portions for the price.
Go if you must but there are better ones out there.

I would give this place a 3.5 star rating. Based on Unilocal reviews I wanted to try this place as I’ve been wanting to find a phở place in my neighbourhood that has great food. We got take out here on a Saturday soon after they opened for the day. The food is good. They use the thin vermicelli noodles that we love. The spring rolls were good too. We might eat here again. Still not as delicious in my mind as Phở Vietnam but better than Angus Phở which we tried a couple weeks ago.

I came to this place and ordered the rice pancake with pork in it, pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the pancake how moist and warm the combination of the pancake was. Little mushrooms added some crunch there also. Cherry on top the fish sauce well balance but of course I added some chilly sauce in it. The phở was great. I asked the waitress if they have fresh noodles they do but not sure if its the best place for fresh noodle, the texture that I was looking for wasn’t there. It was more like those small noodles replaced by bigger noodles. But the soup itself was outstanding. I will go back for sure!

This place is great. Good food and fast service. The servers all wear electronic name tags which display their names which I thought was pretty good. It was packed when I came which is a good sign.
Ordered the grilled beef with rice and it came with a side of pickled salad. Not pickled carrots and dicon like other places. Pickled salad. I thought that was a very nice touch. Good grilled beef.
Service was fast. Food came out in a reasonable time. Parking lot was full so had to park in the back. There is a bakery next door that sells bagels and an apple pie to die for! YUMMY. Overall, good and solid viet joint on bathurst street. 4.5 stars.

Best phở place I had tried till now. I tried couple of places for phở and this one get the best one. I really like everything about it. They have have many great phos amazing place. I have already came here multiple times after and love it. I will recommend anyone who love phở to come here and try it.

Good food and spotless place, menu offers many variations for each item. Service is fast although the waitresses don’t say much. The place is always busy and my one compliant if any is servers are rushing around. I like vermicelli with shredded pork and spring roll.
Great place for quick bit not for quiet dinner

Went here a few days ago for lunch as I wanted to try some new place for phở. I was pleasantly surprised, as far as taste went, it was about as good as most uptown phở restaurants. The broth was hot and flavourful while noodles had a good consistency as well.
I went for the house special phở while my girlfriend had just the rare beef phở. I was satisfied with the portions, we each had a medium phở, more than enough for her, just enough for me. We also ordered crispy spring rolls, they were crispy and hot when they came out, just as they should be.
For about $ 20 tax and tip give or take a dollar, it was a pretty good value if you ask me. I would go here again. Just because it’s cleaner than most phở restaurants uptown. Took off one star because the service was passable, not phenomenal or anything, nor was it bad, it was just that. Service.
If you’re in the area or live uptown, check it out.

We moved to the area from downtown, so a good spot for phở/​Vietnamese food we were looking for. Place is usually busy, yet spacious. Love it here! The Phở is really good, the broth is not too oily, and great portion sizes. The rice dishes are delicious with good portions. Only compliant on my part is sometimes the meats are fatty, which i personally don’t like. Same goes with the pork and chicken in the rice dishes.
The spring rolls are bomb!
Nonetheless id definitely recommend this place!

Affordable and delicious. Very spacious restaurant as well. Staff were accommodating. Tables and chairs could have been cleaner. Will most likely come back if I’m craving some Vietnamese.

Big portions and low prices, that sums up my review. The small bowl of Phở I got was very big, a large according to my standards. I’ve been in the plaza sooooo many times, but somehow never paid attention to this restaurant. I came on a Thursday night. The restaurant is clean, spacious and even though the waitresses don’t speak much English, they still pay attention to your order and try to help you decide on what to order. I had the seafood Phở (rice noodle). The Phở was delicious. There’s a side of bean sprouts and fresh herbs that you can add to your dish. Tip: cash or debit only! don’t expect any Wifi

Authentic Vietnamese phở! You can tell because customers were either Vietnamese or extra cultured, myself included *smugface.
We came here for phở. I wasn’t sure which one to pick. The waitress recommended Mr. 305 which contained a mix of different types of phở meats. Soup was rich. Meat was delicious. Rice noodles were tasty. Vietnamese portions. Puts ‘Murican portions to shame. Stick to a small bowl, trust me.
Clean place. Wonderful waitresses. Xpress service. Shiny name tags! Reasonable prices. Overall great phở here and you should surely check it out.

One of my favourite Phở stores to go to. It is spacious and clean with modern décor, not tacky and cheap at all like other places.
The Phở is amazing, always hot. I recommend getting the deep fried shrimp rolls and «banh cuon» which is pork meat wrapped in semi-​transparent dough and steamed.
Service was great, everyone is friendly and attentive.

My buddy and I were feeling like phở for dinner and that meant that we drove across town for this little joint because of the reviews here.
We were not disappointed whatsoever, This This is a great place for phở and other Vietnamese cuisine, full of Asian people so you know it’s authentic.
Just 1 advice, BE CAREFULL with the little chopped hot peppers, they are crazy spicy.
I made the mistake of putting too much in my phở and cried throughout the dinner.

I’ve tried plenty of phở in Vaughan, and have to say this place is my favourite! The restaurant itself is very clean, tidy, and modern-​looking. The service is fast, the food is excellent, and their prices are very reasonable. I’ve tried their chicken and shrimp pad thai, their chicken cold rolls, and their chicken phở.
Phở Viet Xpress does not skimp on portions. the medium bowl of phở is always extremely filling, usually with some leftovers. The large order of cold rolls is sufficient as a meal in itself. They are fresh, made to order, and very large. I found their peanut dipping sauce to be a little on the watery side, compared to other places.
Early dinner or late night munchies, this place satisfies!
