What took me so long to try 43rd Express?! The staff was very attentive and explained to us that we didn't have to stick to the combos, but mix and match items if we wanted to. I had heard about the macaron ice cream sandwiches so I was very eager to try one. I ordered the red velvet macaron with chocolate chip ice cream in the middle. It was so good!! I recommend eating it right away before the ice cream starts to melt. The texture is chewy and true to the flavors you choose. A lot macarons these days are just sweet, but this place does it right! The owner must have seen how excited I was because he gave my husband and I each regular macaron on the house! I thoroughly enjoyed their customer service. Since this was our first visit to 43rd Express, we were shown how to eat the dishes by pouring a special sauce over the meal. My dish came with a fried egg, which was cooked the way I wish all eggs would be cooked. You can see what I mean by some of the pictures posted on Yelp. The fried eggs are crispy underneath and around the edges, and is just so perfect. The entree I ordered came with a bowl of broth on the side. The flavor rich and comforting. 43rd Express is now my go-to Vietnamese restaurant in town. Five stars!!
