Whoever makes the broth for the pho is an artist. Their grandmamma would be proud, and her grandmamma is smiling down from heaven. The miraki shines through. I got the large bowl of basic P1, the meat combo, with all the good stuff except meatballs. It was enormous, and so loaded with perfect noodles and tender meats, that I could barely get half way in. (We'll get back to that) There was a reason for that. The Spring Rolls are huge! I ate one, almost thinking it was half a meal, so I saved the other one for my friend. (We'll get back to that too) I also got a fried pork Bahn Mi, to go, because that's why I really came. Ok, break it down time. I walked in a 4:30 pm. I just wanted to check out their Bahn Mi, to find out if it was 'All That", like I'd been told. That's when the smell of the broth washed over me like the best music my nose had ever heard. So I asked for a table, then went out and put more money in the meter. I had the place to myself, and a wonderful, knowledgeable, attentive y muy linda waitress. The Spring Rolls are huge. And they are perfect. They showed up in about 60 seconds. Perfect shrimp, pork, noodles, herbs and rice. The peanut sauce was fully pureed, which was textually odd, but tasted great, but not perfect. The roll I saved for my friend blew up in the heat of my truck, sitting in 95 degree heat for a minute. So he had to eat it like a salad. Oh the humanity! The Pho was sublime. I only ate the broth for the first few minutes, with no condiments. Oh, mama. The Force is strong with this one. Describing it to you is pointless. Then I added a little hoisin and sriracha Then I ate the noodles. Then the meats, especially the precious tripe were plentiful and perfectly cooked. The side wide-leaf basil, mild jalapenos, sprouts and lime were all fresh. Bhan Mi time. The bread alone is worth the price of admission. The fried pork was pleasing in all ways. The pickled veggies were crisp, but slightly less noticeable in flavor than some. Chef's call. Oh, and it's big. Did I mention the bread? Wrap up. The place is clean and tight, especially for a 200 year old Mt. Vernon town home space. Prices for some of the entrees are a buck or two more than you are used to expecting, but the quantity and quality take care of that. ($5 1/2, $6 bucks for the best bahn mi in town? I can live with that!) I was her only customer, but the service was impeccable, and she had a sense of humor. When I made the universal sign for 'chopsticks', she looked mortified that she'd overlooked that. read more

I loved the pork banh mi, they nailed it! I enjoyed the pho too. Definitely will return

I tried their pho and Bahn mi. I really recommend it. The Pho's Beef broth is full a flavors and the noodles are so chewy. Their Bahn mi is nice too. Give it a try ! read more

Indochine - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Indochine served great pho! I had the steak and brisket pho in beef broth and it was fantastic - it's in a great area too. However, my experience was left lacking when I was denied the privilege of using an extra plate to share my delicious dish with my dining partners. I would have preferred an extra plate with my dish. I really would have. read more

I ordered the pork spring roll vermicelli and my boyfriend ordered the large combo platter. I enjoyed my food. My boyfriend said his was alright. The broth was a little oily and he had better before. Normally, this alone wouldn't warrant a 2-star review, but the service was the main driver. This poor waitress was waiting the whole restaurant, which had every table full. Obviously with one person waiting every table, there's a lot of waiting... There should be more than one waiter/waitress. Also, weirdly, there was quite a bit of waiting for our food. Most other Vietnamese places serve the pho really quickly but here was not the case. read more

This place is easy to pass by, but you shouldn't! I think it's definitely a contender for best pho in the city. Service is usually prompt and courteous and everything on the menu is delicious - if you're a foodie, check it out! read more

This place is alright. I was a bit skeptical seeing as it was a fusion place. Portions for pho were huge and very filling. The bun thit nuong (vermicelli with meat) was alright. The Thai Iced Tea was good here. The Vietnamese porkchop was not very good though. One thing that I really did not like was the service here. The service was awful and the staff just sat around and talked. At one point, I had to walk up to the cash register in order to talk to them/ask them a question. We also had to go over to them to request the bill. read more

I was coming back from a long trip and wanted a quick bite before I headed to the metro and I stumbled here. I ordered the pork banh mi and the shrimp garden roll to go and one word amazing. It was my first time trying a banh mi so I have nothing to compare this one to, but everything was prefect. The bread was soft and fresh, the pork was cooked well done and seasoned well. It wasn't oily but just the right amount of tender juiciness. There was a generous amount of fresh vegetables and pickles. And for about 5 dollars that filled me up. The garden roll was very fresh and the vegetables were crisp inside. I've never tried it before, but I really enjoyed the peanut sauce as well. The great food and service will definitely bring me back! read more

I have been here about 5 times, I'm starting to be concerned because it ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS smells like Urine in the restaurant. It's very hard to enjoy your meal with that horrid smell creeping around your nostrils. The food is Sub-par, nothing fancy.. Broth was MEHHH The decorations are minimal. Don't expect anything fancy.. It's usually very junky in there. Overall.. I won't be back :/ read more

Yuuuum. When I can't make it all the way to Towson to the best pho place (pho dat thahn) then this place hits the spot. Get the pho with everything on it, crispy taro rolls, or the house banh mi. I love banh mi and this is the only accessible place for me to get them so yay! The food is all quite awesome and Doug, so why three stars? Well it's not THE best or THE cheapest and the decor could use some work. But definitely a spot hitter for Vietnamese food! read more

I'm adding a star, because it is shameful how much I go to this place that I gave only three stars to. We are on this kick where we are getting pho just about every weekend at this point, and I don't see that coming to an end, even with summer coming around. Their carry-out service is on-point. I call and they're helpful, I show up a few minutes later and it's always ready. They're super nice, and the packaging hasn't spilled yet. Keep up the good work, Indochine. :) read more

New management and they raised the prices! 14 dollars for small bowel of pho and 16 dollars for large pho ! Wtf that's the most expensive pho I ever seen ! It's not even all that either ! There were zero customers there for lunch ! Even the employees were like it's a rip off lol ! With that price I rather go get a juicy steak ! Or go to nori sushi in Hamden they have good ramen noodles for lunch !! And it's half of the price!!! read more

If you're looking for good Pho in the city, check out Indochine. Their broth is spot on! My only recommendation would be to eat in and not get it to go- that was a little awkward. I know pho to-go can be by nature, but I've seen it done well before, so Indochine could improve their to-go game. I'll definitely try this place again for sure! read more

Amazing ! This is one of the places that is consistent with the quality of the food every time I go. Which unfortunately has been a rare thing for me to experience here in Baltimore. It does get a little crowded at time and the waiters or sometimes super busy and it takes a while to get a hold of them but it's worth it and they are always friendly. Try the rare steak pho it's my favorite and amazing! read more

It's an ok Vietnamese/Indonesian restaurant. I went there for a lunch to grab a pair of garden rolls and a Pho soup. The garden rolls were pretty decent, just as well as the sauce that came with them. The Pho however was a pretty big deception. Broth had a blank taste, just as the noodles, all stick together on the bottom of the bowl. To finish my meal, I ordered a Thai tea, which was quite a deception again. The taste was just off. In the end, it's an ok place to come for lunch, even if there might be better places to go around if you are into that kind of food. read more

Go to pho place because it's very close. Their pho was fine but lately I don't feel very good after, it might be the msg. I asked if they can make it without msg but they said there's no msg in it. I think there's def msg in it bc I was very thirsty afterward. read more

This is probably is my favorite Vietnamese Pho restaurant. If you want to find a real Vietnamese taste in pho you should try in here

Solid Vietnamese food, and the pho tastes authentic. Not the best pho; but definitely better than average pho. My biggest complaint is the pricing, and the food tends to be pricy compared to other Vietnamese places. They have a good banh mi too, but it's not totally authentic (has a fried egg in it). read more

The search for great pho in Baltimore continues... The broth was really really good, I'll give them that. But the rice noodles were not at all. They were almost like linguine noodles, and they seemed undercooked to be honest. The beef was good, not great. It was still a better bowl than the new place in Canton, but far from the best I've had. I'll probably still go back when my next pho craving hits, simply because the lack of options in the area. read more

This place is quiet and unassuming, with quick hot pho. I stop by here because it's easy to dine alone and read a little after a long work day. I always get a different variation of their pho and sometimes spring rolls or calamari to start. It's satisfying. I haven't tried the rest of the menu really because I know what I want coming here, but friends have told me the bahn-mi sandwiches are good too. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore! This place is fast, affordable, and delicious. I honestly cannot tell you how many times I've come here in the years I've lived in this city. It's one of our go-tos for dine in or take out. The soup is delicious and they have recently expanded the menu beyond just Pho. I have tried all the other soups and they are all great as well. The Bahn Mi, and the crepe appetizer are also some of our favorites. read more

The place is pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the decor/lighting but in terms of pho, it's better than some other pho places I've been to. The broth is flavorful and satisfying, though not very "spicy", as in not a lot of flavors of anis star/cinnamon/etc. A pretty generous amount of noodles and meat though, which definitely filled me up! I would say that I've certainly had better, but the pho here is still pretty good and gets the job done if I'm in the mood for some Vietnamese and don't want to take a trip all the way out to rt 40. The Thai iced tea also hit the spot but was a bit too sweet for my tastes. All in all, I liked it but I'm not raving about it. read more

Went here earlier for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I've been to Mt. Vernon many times for dinner but have never noticed or stopped inside (even though Minato is right next door). I ordered the Char kway teow, which was one their menu specials. The portion was large for the $13 price, with fresh cucumber, lettuce, and pickled daikon with the main dish of flat noodles, bean sprouts, and chicken. I thought it was a little too oily and salty for my taste, but still great since there's a lack of Malay/Singaporean food in the area. In terms of service and ambiance, the server and waiters were all very friendly and accommodating. Though not the best, it's still comfort food! read more

Great place for a decent quality, quick, and cheap meal. Nothing fancy but everything I've had here has been easily passable, especially for the price. Highly recommend the pho (get the small size because the large is way too much) but the rice dishes are quite tasty too as are the spring rolls. read more

The Pho is really good plenty of noodles and plenty of meat as well. The extra spicy is a little hotter than expected but was delicious perfectly seasoned and still flavorful not just hot. The fried dumplings were delicious. I always find that the hole in the wall type places serve the best food. If you like Pho then this needs to be your go to place. read more

such delicious food and amazing service :) i love the pho and the banh mi!! lunch is a great time its so cute in there

Probably not the best pho on east coast but definitely decent enough I would say. Definitely worth going read more

Indochine - Probably not the best pho on east coast but definitely decent enough I would say. Definitely worth going - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

So glad that this place opened! Better than Mekong Delta. Broth of the shrimp and calamari pho is so flavorful and the taro net roll is so light despite being deep fried. Will be back--often. CRISPY TARO ROLLS!!! read more

Love love loved it!! From the crispy dainty Taro rolls to the veggie & tofu PHO!!! I will be back!!! read more

Last night was my first time here. Atmosphere was nothing fancy which I prefer, also clean. Was greeted right away and seated. My server was friendly and nice. I had a "33" beer and had the egg omelet that has bean sprouts, prawns, and I believe thinly sliced pork slices in it. I forgot what it's called but it was tasty. For the entree I had Pho, of course !! The beef ball one, I must say, yummy yum yum. I recommend this place. Cheap good food. Thumbs up :) read more

How does this place only have 3.5 stars? Indochine has the best pho in Baltimore, and I've tried them all. Sure, the place is not fancy by any means and the bathroom doubles as a storage closet, but I will never go anywhere else when I'm craving pho, which happens, on average, once a week. I've never tried the bahn mi or bowls, and probably never will, as long as they keep cranking out that P3. The broth is rich and super flavorful and the portion size is legit. I've never ordered a small, so I have no idea what that's about, but I get the large and I'm always satisfied. Sometimes I get spring rolls too, when I'm feeling decadent, and it's still under $15. My ONLY minor complaint is that eeeeevery once in a while I feel like they skimp on the meat. But I don't care enough to take off a star or to ever stop singing their praises. I love you, Indochine. Don't ever change. read more

I thoroughly enjoy this place. In Baltimore city when in the mood for Pho this is the place to go to. The broth is flavorful and a good portion of noodles. I do wish that a little more protein was added to the pho. The staff is friendly and service was quick. The rice and vermicelli combos are good and big. Check it out. read more

I wish I could leave no stars!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went today for lunch and the place looks dirty and run down, the chairs are shabby and raggedy! We asked to separate our bill and the waiter said that was okay only to then bring one check for the entire table. When we asked him to split the check he stated that he could only split it in two for four ppl. When the manger was called to rectify the situation she was very rude and nasty and stated she would accommodate us this ONE time but them mumbled nastily that we didn't have to come back. Very poor customer service!!!!! Won't go back there EVER!!!!!!!!! read more

Waiting for 2 hours in the restaurant after taking the order and they even didn't give us the drinks. And then told us that the waiter didn't take our order, we said ok it's fine but please be hurry. After 10minutes the lady came said they already shreded our order and told us cancel the order and leave. It was at 7pm and everyone was waiting for the food but I didn't see anyone get a bowl in the 2 hours. It was a horrible experience staying this restaurant with such a bad service attitude. Never coming again. read more

Until today, I was a regular customer. While the place is dumpy, but the food was always good and I'm a firm believer in supporting independent businesses in my neighborhood. But, today a friend and I (another regular customer from the neighborhood) ordered an appetizer to split before our entrees. It came to table on a serving plate and we asked for a small plate or two so we could each take our portions. The waitress said she's not allowed to give out extra plates. We asked why and she said she didn't know. This has never been an issue before. We asked to speak to her supervisor. The manager or I believe even co-owner came out and RUDELY told us that they do not provide plates! We asked what the reason was behind that and she said "there is no reason." She refused to give us plates! Unbelievable. We were incredulous since this practice defies all logic. And, the manager/owner was so profoundly disrespectful and rude to loyal customers. So, we left and will NEVER go back. Because of their illogical practice and the mean-spirited nature of the manager/owner, they lost 2 good customers. Outrageous. read more

Mediocre food. So many other pho places in the area with better food. Not only is the food mediocre , but service is really bad. Don't waste your time. read more

Came here the other night for an easy meal. The layout is odd, and the decor/ambience looks more like a place falling apart than a fresh new restaurant. Ordered the vegetable tofu pho, which I found out later was made with beef broth. I was told after the fact that I could have had vegetarian broth if I had asked for it (now I know). Everyone else in my party ordered the standard classic pho. We all agreed that there was nice soup to noodle ratio, but I think that's about it. Not bad, but not good enough to warrant a second trip. read more

Tbh I have never written bad reviews cuz I'm lazy but this time I think I gotta warn u guys. This place is getting worse and worse with its environment. All their chairs and tables are very greasy. And the utensils and plates won't make u feel they are very sanitary either. And after all THOSE Indochine still did not cease "amaze" me . I ordered a bubble tea and it didn't come until we were already finished. And when I was drinking it I sucked up a piece of BROCCOLI in my milk tea ...like are you serious . So we asked for a new one to go so we won't waste our 4 dollars. And then the new milktea they gave us is leaking as it's plastic container has a crack at the bottom. Good that we just left it on the table and left or else our clothes will be ruined. So, this sums up our LAST visit to Indochine . read more

Went here for lunch today and it was wonderful! Split the shrimp garden rolls and fried pork spring rolls with my lunch buddy - both were very tasty with yummy dipping sauces. I went for the Fatty Brisket Pho and loved it. The broth was rich and the noodles perfect. If you don't like the fatty part of the brisket, definitely go for a leaner cut of beef, but really enjoyed it. Will be adding this place into the lunch rotations now! read more

The banh mi is delicious. The pickled vegetables really lift up the sandwich when paired with the various vietnamese hams/meats, and the bread is wonderful. It's soft and light, yet crunchy without leaving you feeling like you just completed a jaw workout. read more
