I've been going here since I was a toddler...literally. My first experience at Pho 43 Express was when I still needed a booster seat. I would probably say I was probably 4 at the time.
This is hands down...THE BEST PHO restaurant in Phoenix!. Period.
It may be located in a not-so-pristine location, but if you're looking for a luxurious Vietnamese restaurant...then this isn't the place for you. Usually upscale Vietnamese restaurants in AZ feature the all-special...Americanized, bland, boring pho.
I can honestly say that I've never had a "bad" pho experience here. I'm sorry, but I haven't tried any of their other dishes, because I'm so addicted to the pho.
Be adventurous, try something else on the menu and let me know what you think. As for me, when I need a good pho fix...this is ALWAYS my go-to. :)
