Just want to say that this is the best Pho (Fah) in Vancouver. Not much else I can tell 'ya. Check it out. The small is enough for an old 40 something like me. And have the springrolls.

Not a bad place for some tasty Pho. I enjoyed my Large bowl of rare beef and beef ball Pho ($11) and shared a plate of extra rare beef for $4. They offer small, Large and extra large sizes. The broth is good, I would say it's standard, but not life changing. The beef balls were a little different, more like beef pancakes Lol. You get your standard side plate of bean sprouts, basil, jalepenos and lemon wedge. Large Rooster bottles of Hoisin and Siracha for your customization. All in all decent. We also tried the deep fried squid, which was quite tasty and comes with a nice plum sauce to dip, ($9) and the prawn salad rolls with peanut sauce to dip ($7). You can choose from pork, veggie, prawn, chicken and mango for your salad rolls. I would say fair prices overall. The atmosphere is the typical super casual Pho experience, like you could come in u our PJS Casual. The service was friendly, but a little slow because there was maybe two people running the whole place. That's really my only complaint, that and the green tea. The green tea taste like hot water.

I'm always on the hunt for the best pho bo and cha gio I can find, so it was only a matter of time before I stopped here. Frankly, I should have come sooner! The place has a nice, casual atmosphere that reminds me of the Viet place I used to eat at growing up, service is *incredibly* fast (they don't call it Express for nothing I guess), the chopsticks are oddly huge in a way that I kind of liked, there's free tea, and it's affordable to boot!
Of course, what really matters is the food, and I'm happy to say the rare beef pho is excellent - I ate it all quite quickly and drank up the broth. But there are lots of places that do good pho - the thing that really divides Vietnamese restaurants in my personal book is how they make their cha gio spring rolls.
Pho Express goes for the bubbly-skinned cha gio, and their rolls are heavy on the pork filling and lighter on the other ingredients. I think there's an egg yolk wash on the rolls, too, since there's a yellowish tinge and a slightly eggy taste to them. I liked them in that they were rather different than most cha gio, but they were a bit spongy, and didn't have the kind of density and thin skin I usually like best.
So, overall, a nice, enjoyable place for sure, and I'll probably want to go again - but I haven't yet found a new favourite place for cha gio, so I'll have to keep looking! -

Our family enjoyed a late lunch here on a rainy afternoon. The waiter brought us jasmine tea to sip on while we perused the menu. Our pho and vermicelli bowls were brought out to us quickly and were piping hot. The food was delicious and priced very reasonably, the only catch is that they only accept cash or debit.

The prices they have online on their menus are different than what they actually have at the store and what they charge you, I ordered for take out and the food was alright, the pho was okay but the veg spring rolls were very bad, super oily and when they got a bit cold it tasted horrible.
