Quick meal and great service. Will come back for sure!

My wife and I stopped by for lunch and had the chicken / prawn + pork on vermicelli with some chicken salad rolls. The food was delicious, but what made it extra special was the chili oil sauce. It was both tasty and actually spicy, a pleasant surprise for the two of us as we both really enjoy spicy food and most places are too mild.
On top of that the view was pleasant and the service was friendly and prompt. Plus there was good air conditioning in the summer heat! We definitely plan to go back next time we're downtown.

Hands down my new go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Their Bún Bò Huế is absolutely incredible, rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice, and super generous portions. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality you're getting, sometimes I need to double-check the bill to make sure they didn't forget anything ! On top of that, the staff team (especially the owner) are such genuine people, always makes me feel welcomed. Highly recommend if you're craving some good pho in the Coal Harbour area.

Great food and service. I originally didn’t want a bag but the owners were so kind offering me a bag when the to go order was too hot. Thank you for your kindness!

Looked forward to a Wonton soup. Wontons had no flavour Just ground beef in a wrapper. Rice noodles were ok but overall soup lacked flavour….BLAND

Sooooo have been coming here 2-3 times a month since they've opened. We love the flavour of Vietnamese food and we were so happy when this opened in the neighbourhood. We have tried most of the phos and the rice dishes. I can't say any have been exceptional but before today all have been good enough to keep us coming back. Today was something else. The beef smelled and tasted old. Rice noodles didn't taste great and seemed like they had been made hours before. The pho had minimal flavour and didn't really taste like pho. Sadly, not sure if we will be back.

Fast Pho! Efficient staff and kitchen don’t keep you waiting. Food is good. Recommend.
This was my second visit here. My first experience was fine, so I decided to come back, but this time was a real disappointment.
Right when I walked in, I almost slipped because the floor was so slippery. On my way out, I had to hold onto tables to keep from falling -.-
There was only one other group already dining. I ordered two lemongrass dishes to-go and ended up waiting 25 minutes. To make it worse, a group of four who came in after me got their food first.
The food itself barely had any vegetables, the chicken was bland, and the pork was way too tough and flavorless. The chef must have changed. I won’t be coming back again!

Service is very good and food is very fresh but the broth is way too sweet… too much added sugar.

Pho Express on Thurlow is a delightful spot for Vietnamese cuisine in Vancouver. The restaurant is known for its quick service and affordable prices. The pho is particularly popular, with a rich and flavorful broth that keeps customers coming back. The menu also offers a variety of other Vietnamese dishes, including fresh spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great place for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Overall, Pho Express on Thurlow is a solid choice for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food in the heart of Vancouver.

This is a fairly new Vietnamese restaurant opened in the Vancouver downtown core. At lunch break today I ordered Bun Bo Hue which is spicy beef noodle soup to take back to my office to eat at my desk. To my surprise when I opened the bag, both the noodles and the soup were packed, although separately as they should be, in 2 tiny plastic bowls. There was no way I could combine them together to eat. This was the very first time I encounter this situation. Many other places where I ordered food to take out would have the noodles packed in a bigger bowl and the soup would be in the smaller bowl so that the soup could be added to the noodle bowl later. Not only that I was given pho rice noodles and not vermicelli noodles! I was then told by one of the staff when I made the call to the reataurant that I could try by trasferring half of the noodles to half of the soup - she had no idea that both of the bowls were full to the rim and I was not given any extra bowl to even try to do that 😄. I ended up asking around to borrow a bigger soup bowl in order to eat my lunch. The soup was definitely not authentic and as tasty but was good enough for my convenience and cravings. I think it would be better if you eat in instead of takeout but I hope the owner would take this as a constructive feedback and would make changes to have how take-out orders should be packed for downtown workers who would eat at their desks.
