Tokyo Pho Express Restaurant

This place is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. We stopped by for dinner and were blown away not just by the food, but by how kind and welcoming the owners were — you can tell they genuinely care and love talking about what they serve and who they serve it to. We started with the fried dumplings and calamari as appetizers, both crispy, flavorful, and clearly made fresh. For drinks, we tried the matcha boba and milk tea boba — both were delicious. The highlight, though, was the main dishes. The pho with steak and flank was phenomenal — rich, deep broth that you can tell was simmered for hours (we learned from the owner it’s made in-house and cooked for over 11 hours!). The steak flat noodles were packed with flavor and cooked just right with a spice level I got to decide. The

We used to love Tokyo Mandarin. But now that’s it’s under new management, the food has changed so much. It doesn’t taste as fresh like it used to. Everything is too over cooked and gummy. We also received the wrong sushi. They don’t seem to understand us on the phone. I ordered a shrimp tempura and got some fried shrimp with cream cheese in it. Not shrimp tempura but also not a Philly roll. It was nasty. We’re done with this place and will find a new one. It’s sad that it’s changed because we’ve been coming here for years.

This was our first time eating at this place and sad to say definitely our last. We have been going to this Chinese place for years and when we called to place an order it was unknown to us that they were under new management until we pulled up to pick up our order. So, it was too late to cancel. We did have a red flag when placing the order the person who answered was not good at taking our order and had to repeat several times and she still got our order wrong once picked up. Then, we let them know the order was wrong and had to wait for them to cook the rest of our order that we paid for that they failed to include in our order, so it took another 15 plus minutes while the rest of the order sat and got cold..The shrimp fried rice was not good all, it was not authentic Chinese rice in ou

The broth for this Pho is a cure for hang over, one of the best in south NJ. They are not shy to load the bowl with meat, must try when come here. We order the hand roll tuna and I knew it, they use fresh ingredients, the Tuna tasted so sweet and fresh. Not only they serve good food, the owner and server were friendly, you can tell they value their customers.

I was incredibly sick and only wanted one thing: brisket pho with no cilantro. I placed an order online and half an hour later, my husband offered to go pick it up for me. He arrived a few minutes past the time the confirmation page said my order would be ready by. After several minutes, he was finally helped and they informed him that they hadn’t even *started* to cook our order, even though it was 15 minutes past the pick up time already. When he returned home with the order, the pho I had ordered *still* had cilantro in it, despite having specified to not include it. I’d had their pho before and when my husband had questioned even going to this restaurant because of its low rating, I had vouched for them and insisted they were good and for him to give them a chance. This was a huge dis
