43rd Express - Phoenix

Very good, the Pho is perfect and the service and lightning fast. limited seating, but people are quickly out, so don't wait a problem

I love the food so much! And it's at a pretty reasonable price. The only downside is that they do sell out on some items if you don't come early enough, and the place is always packed! So I'd recommend to come at an early time.

Absolutely excellent food, there's a short wait all the time. No reservations permitted. Very simple layout, smaller dining area. Outside is vintage ethnic, but don't let that keep you away. All meals are authentic and the menu is large.

Upon arriving the place was packed. My anticipation was piqued as i waited as i saw nice portions being served. I ordered the combo pho. It arrived with the proper amount of glistening fat globules that promise a savory bowl. The pho fit factor was 4.5 as the broth was a bit bland and lemon wedges replaced the usual lime. Overall not a bad joint, but avoid the combo as the fatty flank is very fatty.

The pho was decent. I appreciated that there was plenty of meat in every bite. The broth tasted good, which isn't surprising since I'm from Minnesota, where finding good pho can be a challenge. We have the best options available here.
