You really can't be mad about much while you're here. The food is AMAZING- you can't go wrong! The Shrimp Spring Roll is the best I've ever tried. Even the dipping sauce is amazing. The Pho Tai is the best I've had since moving back from Chicago. It's a great local spot. read more

Euphoria Kitchen - Shrimp & Steak pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I'm writing this while thoroughly enjoying leftovers from here. Most places in the Kentlands close at 9:00pm, but Euphoria closes at 9:30, and those 30 minutes made all the difference last night when we decided around 9:00pm to get dinner. It's has a cozy, casual feel that's perfect for a spur of the moment dinner out. Id been here before, but had never tried the pho. Last night I got the eye round/brisket pho, and some beef summer rolls. I'm no expert, but the pho here is delightfully refreshing, yet filling. The pho had a good amount of meat in it for the price. The summer rolls were perfect with the peanut sauce (that I could've drank an entire jar of). I took home half of my soup, and they gave me a quart of broth to take home with it. I'm finishing up my leftovers as I finish this review, and I'm already craving more. It's that good. read more

The blandest PHO I've ever had. Nice looking restaurant with very friendly service. The guy next to me had a chicken and rice dish and seemed pleased. I'd recommend one of those, now about the PHO... ...I have been eating PHO for 20+ years. This was the blandest bowl I recall having. There was no discernible beef or spice flavor. When I added the lime, sriracha and hoison, the broth just tasted like lime with a little sriracha and hoison essence. It was very very plain. I ordered my meat rare and got well done eye round, and not a lot of it. Price for a large soup and an iced coffee was about $14.40, which is on the high side. I think the iced coffee at $4.25 was the kicker. The glass was packed with ice with a little bit of iced coffee added to fill. Easily drained and left with a full glass of ice after a few sips. Also saw a guy come out of the kitchen with latex gloves on and then proceed to touch his nose, face and dishes with the gloved hands. Now, maybe he wasn't also cooking and the gloves were just to keep his hands clean and not the food. Still... Seems like some growing pains as they have only been open a month. As I said, it was very friendly. I'll give it a month and try it again. In the meantime, for local PHO you can go over to Pho City or Pho Eatery for a better bowl. I do hope they do well as it's a nice location for a Vietnamese restaurant. read more

So I'm Vietnamese and had my share of Pho, bun bo hue, egg rolls and pork com Tom so I would have to say- the egg roll was well flavored, not to mention it was semi raw in the middle. It had a nice crispy exterior but that's about it. The bun bo was decent, but they literally had no nothing else in there noodle except, a couple pieces of meat and cha. The pork in the com Tom was tough and hard to swallow. Now, to the pho. I had a taste of the broth and it was horrible. Didn't have a hint of pho flavor. I honestly don't even know what they cook the broth with but that wasn't pho. Overall experience, somewhat disappointed read more

Based on the recommendation of fellow elite Sam L, I visited this restaurant and tried the pho and oxtail pho. Honestly, I had minimal expectations since almost all pho locations in the DMV area spike the broth with MSG. I was pleasantly surprised to find a good bowl of pho...and especially surprised about the oxtail pho. The oxtail pho is a bit pricey at ~$13, but comes with a generous serving of meat. We've done a quick test on the broth by comparing against the normal pho and it is eons better. It's clear that the bone enhances the flavor of the broth and makes it richer. While the concept of an oxtail pho may be repulsive to some, this is clearly a winner and definitely worth a try. Besides the kobe pho at pho chi, I'd say this is the only other pho spot I would eat in Maryland. Enjoy and certainly stop by Bobapop for deserts after eating here. It's literally a great bubble tea location right next door! read more

Euphoria Kitchen - Beef lemongrass - Vietnamese Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Talk about comfort food- I have never been as amazed by two eggs as I did while dining here. Everything I tried during my visit was excellent- fresh, crisp, tasty, and every last bite as fulfilling and exciting as the next. I highly recommend diving into their pork chops which is what was recommended to me. My sister has enjoyed vegetable/tofu pho for years and with good reason as it was nothing less than extraordinary. Crab rangoon was exquisite, and their sticky rice was also a sweet delight to finish the course meal. Great great great food! read more

Euphoria Kitchen - Euphoria Rice Dishes with Pork Chop, Shrimp, and Sunny Side Up - Vietnamese Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Summary: excellent rice dishes, awful sandwiches We usually get their rice dishes plus one of the rolls and they do not disappoint. Generous portion of food and protein and the flavor is excellent. However I decided to switch things up and order their "sandwich"/banh mi and goodness one of the worst banh mi's I've ever had. It was expensive, bland, and despite asking for no cilantro my sandwich is still stuffed with them. Definitely sticking to the rice dishes only from now on. read more

I honestly can safely say this is by far my favorite restaurant. I live 40 minutes away & it's always been worth the drive. The pho (vegetable pho to be specific) has been there for hangovers, heartbreaks, & to satisfying the cravings. It honestly just taste like 'home' there's no other better way to explain it. Everything from the broth, to the appetizers to the pork chops are without a doubt always made to perfection & with love. Will continue to recommend this place to anyone & everyone so they too can fall in love with this place. read more

I popped in recently because I was in a craving for a banh mi & it did not disappoint! I ordered the Pate & Pork Ham Banh Mi for pick up. The workers are all very kind. Bread was light & crispy on the outside. All the ingredients were very fresh & flavorful. I will be returning :) read more

Such mixed feelings for this place. Cons: I had been really wanting to try Euphoria out because I had seen that they offered oxtail pho, which is so hard to get in this area. We finally got around to ordering take out during COVID. And man... disappointing. The portions are RIDICULOUSLY small. And they are overpriced. My oxtail pho was supposedly a large bowl. Cost $16. And only had two pieces of oxtail, and barely any noodles. I ended up adding veggies to it to make it more filling. In the photos, they make it appear as if you get 3-4 pieces. But you only get 1-2. My wife had a small eye round pho which was around $11. She barely had any meat. On top of that, they gave us a tiny bag of sprouts and basil to share. We ALSO paid extra $2 for having everything in a to-go packaging. My wife hated it. And so we won't be coming back. Pros: I liked the flavor of the broth. I liked the actual ox-tail, the two pieces I got. But otherwise, underwhelming. Noodles were extra soft and mushy. Grilled Shrimp Spring Rolls are good. All in all, if the portions and prices were reasonable. I would definitely be a regular. But I can't justify it all for what we got. read more

Can't stop thinking about this place and wanting to eat the grill shrimp vermicelli noodles. So tasty! Also ordered summer rolls and enjoyed them as well. Highly recommend to those who like a walk in restaurant that makes food that is simply delicious. read more

Euphoria? Don't think so! Just a solid no on this place. ... Very unorganized and incredibly slow. Took them 10 minutes to bus a table for us to sit. Took another 5 minutes to take our order. When our appetizer finally arrived, took a bite and there was hair in the spring roll. Server took it away with no apology. You'd think the manager would come out and apologize, but nothing. Our avocado shake was clumps of ice and no flavor. After 40 minutes, we still didn't have our entrees. Table that got seated before us was just getting their appetizers as we got up to leave. Paid for the avocado shake and left. No need to visit this place again. read more

Very Delicious.. First time here and definitely well be back. We Went after my dentist appt. Since it was around the corner so it was like 11ish and wanted something soft to eat so this was a perfect place to stop by. As well the service was quick maybe because we were the first ones there but I'm glad we stepped in to try! P.S. we had the Oxtail Pho and the Chicken Pad Thai (Yummm) read more

Euphoria Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Pho in the Kentlands... Yeah, that's exactly what this area was sorely missing before Euphoria made its presence. The place has charm to it. I think it has to do with the fact that pretty much all the buildings on Main Street are nice & quaint. The restaurant's small size gives the place a homier feel. Their seats are upholstered with a velvety material and are comfortable to sit on. The menu is a little bit more extensive than other pho places in the area, offering up: soup, rice dishes, and a variety of appetizers. The egg rolls were light and flavorful. I like how they weren't overly oily and had a nice crunch to it. Unfortunately, the pho falls flat here. I found the broth here to be flavorless. For me, the broth really makes or breaks a bowl of pho. I just didn't taste any spice or beef. It seemed to taste really watered down. One pro about this place is that the meat servings are pretty generous. Even the side portions are worth the price if you want extra. The tripe was delicate and not overly rubbery & the skirt flank could've been done a little rarer, but still good overall. Once they work on taste & consistency, then they'll truly be a winner. read more

Pho in the Kentlands? I really really wanted to like it here because going to Pho Nom Nom or Pho Eatery is further out. It's definitely a small place so no room for really big parties but that's ok. Got the spring rolls which were cooked in the rice paper style that I like because of the crispy and chewy texture. However, it was way too oily. Felt like I was eating straight oil. Would've been much better if it weren't for being drenched in oil. Also ordered the pho which was really bland. Had to add a lot of hoisin sauce to really make it edible. This place easily could've been better as the potential is there with a few more tweaks to really bring it to the level of the other pho restaurants in the area. Again I wanted to like it but there needs to be improvements to succeed. The Good: - Vietnamese iced coffee - was not too sweet like others. The fried spring rolls were good but way too oily. Get rid of that and its really good. - Full menu of great Vietnamese food The Bad: - Small and not much seating. - Pho was bland and required adding sauce. Pho soup should be able to stand on its own I probably will come back to try it again to see if updates are made. Would love to have another good Vietnamese restaurant to go to. Hopefully it'll be better next time! read more

They ignore my food allergies and I waited more than 30 minutes on the phone. They clearly do not care about their customers.

Had dinner here the other night. It was a really good meal. I'm not sure I would get the summer roll again because it is just not my cup of tea. But I really liked the pho. The broth packs a lot of flavor and all the meat was really tender. I would definitely get that again. Food is well priced too which is always nice to see! read more

Amazingly delicious food for a good value. I recently took notice of this relatively new Viet Namese restaurant. I came in to have some spring rolls, then some summer rolls, my two favorite appetizers. They were extremely yummy! My associates enjoyed a delicious pho soup but I was already full by that time. Still it looked quite amazing. I will definitely come back at some point to have a large bowl of pho all to myself. The owners are very friendly, polite and professional. The interior is very nicely kept and spotless, and one other important factor that distinguishes this restaurant from other Viet Namese establishments is their very comfortable chairs. I recommend this place highly. read more

I've been looking for a Vietnamese restaurant that makes less salty pho, and I think I've found it! The broth tastes just right. Oxtail pho was yummy.

I really wish I could give zero star. After seeing great reviews here, and knowing that Yoyogi is closed until 9/18, I figured I would pick up something here during my lunch break today to go with my fresh boba from the newly-opened BoBaPoP Tea Bar two doors down. Ooh boy was that a terrible idea. I called in about 20-25 minutes ahead to place my order of the Vermicelli with Grilled Beef. I was told that they were "slow" at the time, so it might take 20-25 minutes ("slow" is definitely not the word I would use to describe being unable to fulfill the order in a reasonable timeframe, though, having previously worked in the food industry myself). Thinking that it would take me that long to drive over, I let the girl over the phone know that it was okay. I arrived in the area and placed my boba order at BoBaPop first, then walked over to Euphoria Kitchen to pay for and pick up my food, only to find out that my food was not ready (this is after 25 minutes), and they were having issues with a few customers' orders (a table of 3), and the workers seemed extremely confused. All 3 front counter workers/servers talked to that table, and after sometime figured out what was wrong, but even after that, they still had a wrong order, which one of the workers decided to just eat right away in the middle of her shift. I heard the workers still commenting on the wrong order while the customers are still around, and overall not showing any professionalism. They also put up a hand-written sign on the door "We are closed until further notice. If you have placed an order, you will be taken care of" in the middle of this mess. Not sure what was happening, but if a few mishaps ruin an entire lunch hours of operation, I'm not sure they know what they are doing. I realized that I had been waiting even longer, so I got up to pick up my boba order, then came back to Euphoria Kitchen, and I had to wait again. At this point I had waited so long that my lunch break was almost over. The workers had asked me a few times about what my order was, and I saw a to go order finally ready, so I was ready to just take it and then leave, however one of the workers had to ask the other AGAIN about what my order was. I was honestly baffled about the lack of communication between the workers. I absolutely will not be coming back, since the food itself was okay, but this was probably the WORST service I have ever seen in a restaurant. Tip for management: hire people with common sense, and train them at least the basics of customer service. read more

I am not sure why someone would leave a low rating for this place because its one of the best pho places in the Rockville/Gaithersburg/Bethesda area. I have lived in NOVA prior to moving to Rockville and had access to some of the best Pho places in Arlington/Falls Church/Tysons Corner. Its hard to top the authenticity and taste of the Vietnamese restaurants at the Eden Ctr. I have also lived in the Dallas and Houston area where the Vietnamese population and dining is large. Living in Maryland I was disappointed in the quality and variety of Viet restaurants. The only other place that was sorta decent is Pho & Grill in Montgomery Village and that is sometimes a hit or miss. They are more of a "fast healthy" take our place. Great for a fast bite to eat in a hurry. My wife and I found this little gem on accident after leaving Whole Foods and decided to give it a try. We were very impressed of the food presentation, quality, and authentic taste. The rolls were made fresh to order and wrapped tightly. Not over stuffed with noodles. Meat/filling to noodle ratio was correct. I ordered the quail appetizer, 3 types of rolls, pho, and grilled pork w/rice and sunny side egg. All were very generous in portions. They give a lot of meat in the pho soup. You can even tell the quality of the noodles they use. Broth had good "home style" flavor and was not dark or oily. Not tainted with the typical MSG flavoring. The ambience is quiet..and a true "mom and pop" place. The owner and staff are the ones making the food in the back of the kitchen. Its clean, decorated, and nicely kept. The restroom was clean and well kept. Appears she hired the local high school kids to work as wait staff. I thought that was nice considering more adults are taking over those positions. They also could communicate clearly, politely, and effectively when I was ordering my food. I will say that the wait time for food is longer than I expected. If you are ordering carryout be sure to give it some time before picking up or call to check on it. I allow for it and it doesn't bother me so much because the quality of the food is worth the wait. Above all their food is not made with MSG. Its hard to find a pho place, let alone an Asian restaurant that doesn't use it. Being that I am allergic to it and its bad for you, this was a no brainer to eat here! read more

Food is good, no real complaints on that. My only complaint would be about the service. The girl who was working there when I went seemed to be fairly lazy. I had to ask for water twice. She never refilled my water or even offered. There has been occasions where I even have to ask for chopsticks and a napkin so I can eat what I ordered. The last time I went, she never even gave me bean sprouts, a lime or anything else you typically get when you order pho. Kids... ¯\_(-.-)_/¯ read more

Came here for some egg rolls as a snack and was very pleased. Great authentic Vietnamese food I this cozy warm space. Service was fast, good presentation and prices are reasonable. The vegetarian egg roll is just as good as the meat and a lot of their options are vegetarian friendly! Lots of gluten free options and no MSG so the flavors come through the spices they use and it's not greasy. The Calamari was my favorite. Pho and noodles were fantastic and the owners are very sweet and hardworking. Very dedicated and approachable. read more

I've been looking for a good pho place around the area and I found it! I'm in Rockville and I drive all the way to Kentlands to eat their pho. Their broth is very good as is without the extra fixins and no MSG!!! The meat quality is great and plenty and I love the raw onions they place on top. YESSS! Go here! I also tried their Lemon grass beef which was full of flavor and their Ban Mis are great too! We accidentally walked through their kitchen because we parked in the back and the kitchen looked really clean. IGNORE the reviews with 1-star. They don't know what they are talking about. read more

Ordered several entrees for carryout. The euphoria pho and shrimp summer rolls were not bad. I also tried the bo luc lac which I was craving and this was disappointing.

Food was ok. Pho broth amazing. Bathrooms looked unattended all day. Dining room carpet filthy. Food portions not consistent, I had the same food as my daughter and she must have had 1/3 more food on her plate . Don't know why. Maybe we should give them time to get their act together ? read more

Tasty food, good service and great location in trendy Kentlands. Best bowl of phở in the area, I highly recommend!

The pho here is quite good, and NO MSG reaction afterward! That is huge for me. I will not go back to places that use a lot of it, no matter how good the soup tastes initially. But I have to say that I occasionally make my own pho at home, which is MSG-free of course, and it's a little tastier than this broth. They could use a little more star anise and other seasonings in the simmering of their brew. That being said, I don't always have time to make my own, so I appreciate Euphoria Kitchen being in the Kentlands. As another poster commented, the service definitely needs help. They are quite cordial, but they are s-l-o-w. Good thing my daughter and I weren't in a hurry, because the waits for food and drink were noticeably long. It's a really small place, manageable for one server if s/he hustles, but the guy Friday night was not hustling. My Vietnamese coffee didn't come out until close to the end of the meal. I'd ordered it at the beginning. Despite that, I will be back. The veg summer rolls were amazing, with ample filling and a perfect peanut dipping sauce; the coffee and bubble tea are on point; and there is plenty of meat in the pho, even the small size. While Euphoria Kitchen doesn't replace my first choice in Montgomery County for pho (PhoLuscious is still No. 1), the lack of any detectable MSG gives them an edge in my book. read more

This place has SUCH GOOD PHO and spicy beef noodle soup (bun bo hue). I don't understand why it has low ratings on google and yelp, but this place really is the bomb!! I'm Vietnamese and always eat Vietnamese food at home. So I know authentic Vietnamese food, especially pho. The broth is so flavorful because they use only QUALITY meat and bones to cook it. No powders or MSG. I really want this place to stay afloat because it's my favorite restaurant now, and it's so close to home!!! Everyone else who said the pho is bland, don't know real pho. If you go to Vietnam and eat pho, it tastes NOTHING like the pho here. IT IS BLAND IN VIETNAM BECAUSE THEY DON'T PUT MSG OR POWDERS IN IT. The service here is also excellent. Everyone is polite, and attend to our needs quickly. Please people! Come to this amazing place!!!!!! read more
