The food here is great, I think it’s one of the best pho in town. The staff is super kind and it’s very clean inside.

had a yearning for a decent bowl of beef pho and this little place satisfied Immensely-excellent broth which is always the key plus plenty of all the usual adds. Reasonable price

This is my first time having pho and the summer rolls here. I door dashed the order but unfortunately, the summer rolls had pork in them with the shrimp. As the description says “ Fresh shrimp, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, and herbs wrapped in rice paper, served with a peanut dipping sauce.” It’s not supposed to have pork in it. I’m allergic to pork so it’s disappointing to let the summer rolls go to waste like that. I tried to get any compensation but I was only able to get half my money back. On a good note, the pho was really good.

I’m writing this review with a heavy heart and deep concern for the way this restaurant handled a serious food allergy situation that resulted in my best friend being rushed to the emergency room.
When placing the order, I made it very clear to the cashier that I/we have a severe peanut allergy. I specifically asked about the fried rice I was ordering and was told that it was not cooked with peanuts or peanut oil. Despite that reassurance, I asked the cashier to please still notify the chef about the allergy so that extra care could be taken to avoid cross contamination. It was obvious that this message was not relayed to the chef.
Less than an hour after eating, my best friend went into full anaphylactic shock. She had to be hospitalized. This wasn’t a mild reaction, it was a life-threatening medical emergency. She could have died.
We dine at Thai restaurants frequently and understand that peanuts are commonly used in Thai cuisine. That’s why we always communicate our allergies clearly and have never had an incident like this. Why? Because other restaurants take it seriously. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.
To make matters worse, when I called the restaurant to inform them of what happened, the woman who answered didn’t even offer an apology. There was no concern, no compassion, no effort to understand what went wrong or to reassure us that changes would be made.
This should never have happened. Staff need to be thoroughly trained on how to handle food allergies, especially when a customer has stated the severity multiple times. Cross-contamination is dangerous, and in this case, it almost cost someone their life.
I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for the management and staff. Food allergies are not a preference, they are a medical condition that can have fatal consequences if not taken seriously.
To say that we won't return here again is an understatement. This review is just to serve as a warning to someone else.

The food here is fantastic! The portion was generous. The staff is very friendly. The extra they add to the pho is a great touch with the sliced scallion... Everything just tastes better!

Such an awesome pho!! You know it's a good spot when you see other Vietnamese sitting down to eat there. Broth was delicious and everything was fresh and yummy plenty of meat inside of the pho soup and reasonably priced.
Delicious , clean , fun music. Exceptional customer service! Fast service also.

I’ve been a loyal fan of the Madison Heights location for years, but discovering this hidden gem in Troy has been a game-changer. Little Saigon Express is the definition of consistency meets authenticity. The flavors here will slap your tongue right out of your mouth—every dish hits exactly how Vietnamese soul food should.
From the fresh, vibrant ingredients to the rich, savory broths and perfectly balanced spices, it’s absolutely delicious every single time. On top of that, the service is always warm, friendly, and efficient—exactly what you want when grabbing a quick but satisfying meal.
If you’re searching for authentic Vietnamese cuisine that never misses, this spot is it. Whether you’re a longtime pho lover or new to Vietnamese flavors, Little Saigon Express in Troy will exceed your expectations.
Highly recommend—this place is a true culinary gem in Troy!
