I get the idea that this is the local go-to for pho by how busy this place is. Service is remarkably fast, with food on the table within 15 min of ordering. I would say the bun bo hue is above average, but pricy portion wise. The Xpress pho's broth is acceptable, in that it is good and meets the high standards set by its peers in the area. The fried spring rolls were okay---they are noticeably better than your garden variety Manchu Wok spring rolls but they don't have that pleasingly crispy/blistered texture nor was the filling exceptionally delicious. The drinks were okay---we prefer our Viet coffee NOT pre-made and to allow us to have the phin filter and control the ratio of condensed milk. At this point, everything was at least acceptable. Where I mark down a star is the pad thai. The plate of neon orange seafood pad thai tasted like they completely swapped tamarind for ketchup and the shrimp (which was distinctly different from the tail-on shrimp in the bun bo hue; that was fine) tasted like they left it out to defrost too long---very fishy. Overall, this place was a touch more expensive, value/portion-wise compared to its competitors.
