We like the Asian Express in Capitola, next to the Starbucks and Subway. When we have a craving for Vietnamese food this is pretty much the only option on this side of the hill. They have the menu (with photos) on the board to order. I love #13, the grilled (I think marinaded in lemon grass) pork & grilled shrimp on vermicelli noodles, salad, slight mint sprinkled with chopped peanut topping. It’s very refreshing and flavorful with the sauce. We usually take out after work and eat at home but today we just ate in one of their clean booths. The decor is tasteful and bright and nice hospitality. It’s one of our usual places. The one negative is that they don’t have a homemade smoked chili oil unfortunately so I haven’t tried their pho.

I enjoyed my meal. I got the orange chicken combo and potstickers. Food was fresh and tasty. The potsticker wrapper/dough was much too thick for what I like and a bit chewy, that’s my only complaint. Good atmosphere and very nice staff there. Will definitely go back and try some other things.

Prices don’t match up with what you’re getting. A plate with all the add on extra come out to 15+ for a basically meat and noodle or rice. But it was late and we were running out of options after being at the car dealership all day. Clean place, lots of locals but nothing special.

Restaurant serves a variety of Asian items, but what you really want to come here for is the pho. The beef broth of their pho is wonderful. Staff is super helpful and professional.

BEST Vietnamese Sandwich in Santa Cruz. All-around Good prices and really tasty menu options, especially the lunch specials! Didn’t know about this place until recently and boy, is it good. Nothing fancy, just solid eats when you did to GRUB. Great and friendly service too! I’ve had their pork and beef sandwiches, chamain, and fried rice and have been satisfied everytime. Their Vietnamese coffee is ON POINT as well. Try this place out!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz! I have been enjoying their wonderful food for a long time and have finally gotten around to writing a review. My favorite items are the fried shrimp rolls, spring rolls, spicy seafood pho (9) and the pork and wonton pho (21) and their lollipop chicken. The fried food is always hot and crunchy and the soup is rich and flavorful. Both the service and atmosphere has improved significantly over the years and the owner is always so sweet and welcoming. Highly recommend Asian Express if you are in the mood for some unique, flavorful asian comfort food!

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.
