Asian Express - Capitola

This is the best Pho you'll find near Santa Cruz. It's absolutely delicious! I also really enjoy the honey and taro milk teas; they tend to be a bit sweet, so I recommend asking for less sugar.

Absolutely fantastic! The beef pho is the best I've ever had, and the beef bánh mì is simply perfect. The shrimp Pad Thai is also wonderful. The experience is quick, easy, and convenient. The staff is great, offering excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Best Vietnamese sandwich in Santa Cruz! Great prices and a really delicious menu, especially their lunch specials! I recently discovered this spot and I’m so glad I did. The food is consistently solid, perfect for when I order delivery. The service is friendly and welcoming! I tried the pork and beef sandwich, the cha gio, and the fried rice, and I was always pleased with my meal. Their Vietnamese coffee is also fantastic. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Wow. I probably had the most delicious Vietnamese grilled chicken with rice noodles here. We stumbled on the way to the Bamboo Giant Store in Aptos. We were hungry and needed a quick bite. My friend and I didn't expect much as it looked like a non-describing suburb-exit restaurant with just a few tables inside. But on my first bite, my mouth is watering, and only thinking about it makes me want to return for more - although I live 25 miles away. We also had spring rolls, they were good, but nothing special like the grilled chicken shell.

Super tasty Vietnamese soups. I always get spicy wonton noodle soup. Not on the menu. Just order 31 and say make it spicy. The wontons are large and meaty. My wife has #11 chicken leg noodle soup and loves it.
