Went there again and how is it I found hair in my food AGAIN. I just can't eat there ever again. Lost my appetite for unsanitary Pho here. This place is just gross. read more

My sister and I decided to check out Pho 234 on the recommendation of a friend. On a Thursday at 1pm, it wasn't overly crowded, so we were quickly seated. She got the pho tai, and I ordered the vegetable pho. The gentleman who took our orders was very friendly; he asked if I'd like tofu added and was quick to offer regular tofu when I asked if it was fried or not (I'm not a fan of fried tofu). The orders came out quickly, and the pho was fantastic! I really enjoyed my vegetable pho, as the broth was great and it was jam packed with veggies & tofu. My sister also really liked hers. I would definitely return for another bowl. read more

I absolutely love this place. I always order carry-out and my favorite is Pho soup with beef and it's just delicious. Staff is friendly and my food is always ready in a timely manner. Best place in town in my opinion. read more

Pho 234's #7 and Thai bubble tea were the perfect pick-me-up after a long day. The friendly staff and quick service were the cherry on top of the warm, delicious bowl of pho. The portions they serve are also huge!!! I only ordered a small bowl, but I could have easily dunked my whole face in there.. My friend ordered the large bowl, and let me just say that it looked like he had just entered a pho-eating contest. He lost. read more

I usually order the combination Pho soup, which is always good. This time i ordered #23, which is the grilled pork (this taste like my favorite pork bbq in the Philippines) with rice noodles and spring roll; this will be my new favorite - I loved it! Since I also wanted some hot soup for the cold weather, i got an additional order of just the broth. Perfect!!! Food is consistently tasty at Pho 234 and has not given me migraines. Oh and did I mention friendly service... :) read more

after a night of partying i stayed over at my friend's place in manassas and we all ventured out for pho...granted I know we are in the boonies so my expectations were low, but that is no excuse! The iced coffee was great, so the additional star, but the summer rolls i ordered were so sparse in shrimp it felt like i was eating just vermicelli noodles and lettuce wrapped up. I asked for my pho tai with RAW meat on top and out comes my soup with the meat all cooked inside AND the meat was chewy and low quality. Also, the noodles were clumpy and the soup was not memorable. I doubt i will be back since I'm rarely in manassas, but was very disappointed with this place. it was nice they took card though! read more

This is the first time I went here. I ordered chicken with vegetables and fresh shrimp roll. I am surprised that this place has 4.6 review because both my orders had issues. The shrimp roll rice sheet was too hard to tear and chew. And the chicken in the entree was smelly and had a bad taste to it. Moreover a few pieces of chicken were hard and inedible. I had to spit it out as I could not chew on it. Unfortunately I was running late so did not tell in the restaurant as they were very busy. We had to go and make the payment at the desk as no one came for a long time. read more

I've been coming to Pho 234 for about a year now. Their chicken pho soup is the BEST! The broth is really clean and does not taste like too much salt has been added. Their veggies and spring rolls are always fresh and tasty and most importantly, their service is always friendly and efficient. read more

There is not a single complaint I have about this place! Their Pho is amazing! We order almost weekly/bi-weekly. They know our order by heart when we call in for our pickup! We have tried several other dishes as well. I love the Pad Thai. Their eggrolls are huge! And delicious! Only thing that would make this place above and beyond!?... Please start delivery services! :) read more

I love this place. I've been to many, many pho places all around Northern VA and even California, and the service and food is comparable to none! I always get the same thing and it's never, ever disappointed me. You NEED to try the coconut smoothie with boba when you go! I've rarely waited, even when it's busy, and they acknowledge you and make sure you're okay almost all of the time. I go every Sunday, if not twice a week because it's THAT good and the price is reasonable. read more

The best Vietnamese everrrrr! They service is really nice and their foods are perfect. I love their number 3 and the egg rolls. They have the best fish sauce ever. And I always ask for extra they never charge me for that and if u have a chance u should try the crispy egg noodle with the seafood. So delicious! read more

Just had one of the best bon bo hue or spicy noodles while in town. I'm very picky when it comes to food and I really want to taste it's flavor and this place executed it. Their noodles is not oily as well. Very tasty. Fresh and washed vegetables for their side. Their Egg roll is delicious. The place is nice and quiet. Servers are very attentive. read more

Friendly staff, Great service! The Pho lacked a little flavor but overall a good! A little pricey compared to others but not by much.

May I say Yum! I love Pho 234, They have great portion sizes, and definitely great lunch deals.

I come here often because it's definitely worth 5 stars, in my opinion. Service is quick and friendly. Plenty of dining space (although lately it's been a close call, seems this place is getting more popular) but they always manage to get me seated. I like that there's so many option on the menu, though I tend to get the same things Everytime (the combo pho #1, or the bo bun hue #3) and it's always delicious. I appreciated how quickly the food comes out as well. So I'm never there more than an hour, and if I am it's only because I'm trying to actually finish the entire bowl of pho (which never happens as their huge lol). Lastly the price- it's less than $10 and you're literally stuffed Everytime. 5 star worthy right there. read more

Wow this place is awesome, great pho, great spring rolls and incredible Vietnamese iced coffee! Super friendly too!

Great Pho, perfect for a hangover! I've tried almost all of their appetizers and have never been disappointed. The service can be a little lacking sometimes, and one of the waiters really seems to hate it when you ask questions about the menu.....a little off putting but overall I have never had a bad experience. read more

I love the place here, their noodles is the best among all in this area. But today I am not even full after I finished my noodles The noodles is much less than my previous ones. I wish they will read this. The noodles is still in good taste, but just the size is different. read more

Wow, I was really surprised to find a good Vietnamese place in in Manassas! Maybe I'm just not familiar with the area, but there were actually a bunch of Viet places listed here on Yelp. So I picked this place based on Yelp reviews too. Goi Cun Chai (Vege spring rolls) were quite good, but the nuc mam was a bit too sweet. Vegetarian soup was done well with a good broth and my wife and daughter tell me that the Pho was pretty darn good too. This place won't break the bank, there is plenty of parking, and the service is both attentive and fast. I would definitely go back here if I'm back the area. read more

My husband and I tried Pho 234 over Labor Day weekend. We went for dinner on Saturday evening, and went back for lunch on Sunday. It is definitely our new favorite! The first thing we were struck by was the efficient service. We were very promptly seated and our drink orders were taken right away. I've seen some of the other posts about the service being abrupt or rude, but I took it as the servers/owners wanting to accommodate us as quickly and efficiently as possible. I believe that perhaps what comes off as rushing customers is actually a profound desire to serve the customer as fast as possible. I almost wanted to tell them to relax, because they were doing a great job and we felt very well cared for. The first night we ordered a little of all of our favorites, so we could get a real feel for if we like the food. We weren't disappointed. We ordered the calamari and the crispy rolls to start. The crispy rolls were well crafted, very crispy, and seasoned beautifully. The filling was delicious and the sauce it is served with (the fish sauce/carrots and radish stuff I can't recall the name of, so please pardon me) is drinkable!! Not only did I dunk my crispy roll into it so much that it nearly ruined all the crispy (and it is really crispy, so that's hard to do!), but I dipped my calamari in it as well. The calamari came with a sweet chili sauce and was tossed with a mixture of herbs and vegetables--basil, red peppers, green peppers, and onions, I believe. I can't recall exactly, because I was in bliss munching away on the calamari. They were tender and fresh and were just on the right side of not quite chewy--a perfect texture in my book. My husband and I nearly took each other's arm off eating them. The calamari is breaded with what I believe is cornstarch, so there is great crunch and texture. For our entree, we each ordered a large bowl of pho. Without a doubt, we could have ordered a small bowl and still would have over eaten. :) The large is an incredibly generous portion. The best part, though, and something hard to find this far from Falls Church, is that the bowls are the taller persuasion, so there's a lot less splashing all over your shirt. Not that I mind, honestly...I can wreck a bowl of pho without a care for what I look like afterwards. But, it is nice to have that little detail taken care of. The large bowl had to have had at least a quart+ of broth, a very ample serving of noodles, and lots of protein. I got the eye round and tendon--the eye round is really yummy and has a great tender but toothsome texture and the tendon was perfect. It had just the right melty chewy texture and great flavor. My husband had the mixed seafood pho, which had bay scallops, tail on shrimp, calamari, and VERY GOOD fish balls. I've eaten a lot of fish balls, but they've never been a huge priority for me. However, I was sitting across from my husband hoarding his, coveting them bad. The broth was very, very light...which I actually like. I recognize the beauty in a hearty bowl of pho, and quite enjoy it. But sometimes, I really like the subtlety and the lightness of a weaker broth. It is well seasoned and blends nicely with the proteins, so I have no problem with it. I wouldn't mind if they changed it to a heavier version, but I'm quite satisfied with the current rendition. The sprouts, basil, jalapenos, and lime wedges were all fresh and ample. The first night we were there, the owner offered my husband a small plate of what I believe was a spicy chili paste (not sure if sambal or something else) to add to his soup, if he wanted. I rarely go for something that spicy, but it was great in the delicate broth. On our second visit, we asked for it, but I'm not sure if we communicated it right or they forgot to come back with it, but they didn't bring us...we could have asked again and I'm sure they would have jumped to accommodate us, but it just didn't feel necessary, so we didn't bother. Maybe next time. For the second visit, we ordered the same pho as last time, but got the small, and only ordered the crispy rolls (trying to watch a few pennies, plus it was a late lunch, so we weren't looking to stuff ourselves). The crispy rolls were just as good as the first time. The soups were also as good, and the small size was definitely ample, and we can eat! I'd say the small is the size of the average large bowl in the Manassas area. The server asked if chopstickers were okay or if we'd like a fork. We are chopstickers, so we declined, but thanked them for the offer. Good to know, if we bring someone who isn't familiar with how they work or feels uncomfortable using them. Sodas come in cans and are charged individually. I'd like to get a bubble tea next time to test it out, though it isn't a huge priority for me. I like them, but don't have to have them. I did see that they have ginger tea on the menu, that I think might compliment well, so I'll try that next time. read more

This place is awesome! cheap food with great service. I would recommend going here with someone who is familiar with pho if you have never tried it before so they can help you order something thats to your liking, some of the stuff on the menu is a little out there but if you order the right dish for you its amazing. A large bowl is plenty to fill you up for hours and costs under $10. There is another pho place down the street that does not compare to Pho 234. read more

Their business hours are advertised wrong. It says it opens at 9:30am but they don't answer their phone until 10, 11am.

If you're a vegetarian but still a pho lover, this is your spot! They nail the veggie pho broth down (not bland and full of flavor) and the veg fresh rolls are amazing. Service is always great as well! read more

Love this place. I live in Leesburg and commute between there and Manassas, not exactly the epicenter of authentic Vietnamese, nor can I qualify as a connoisseur as I have not been to any places closer in to DC. However, of the available pho places in my little area of the world, Pho 234 beats the rest by a mile. The portions are large and the soup flavorful, the veggies are fresh and I regularly have cravings for their spring rolls. My favorite dish for warm weather is the grilled lemongrass pork/spring roll combo over rice noodles and the best for cold weather is their Pho Ga (chicken soup). Sometimes the service is a bit slow, other times super fast but I always find them to be friendly and welcoming. I will cry a tear when I no longer commute down to Manassas on a daily basis, but only because I will no longer have the option of lunch here. read more

Because I know what good Pho is this place disapointed despite having great reviews. The broth was normal, or below average I thought and so did my wife. What gives it a 1 star though is that my wife said her spoon was dirty so we traded.. I said " my hot soup will clean it!" LOL but after leaving she said she saw the server lady sneeze in her hand then pick up a handful forks immediately. She and a man were in the booth in back of me prepping. My wife got front row viewing of this... To most Manassas prepay this place would good, but still can't find a Pho spot in NoVA yet... Will not ever come back here... read more

Very good food. Real friendly staff. Look forward to visiting again. Getting hungry just thinking about it.

This restaurant is simply decorated and resembles many other Vietnamese establishments. I had a craving for hot soup since it had been raining all day in Virginia so I ordered a vegetarian soup without noodles and requested for rice instead. For an appetizer, I ordered summer rolls without meat and my boyfriend ordered a grilled chicken plate with rice and assorted sides. Our order came quickly to us even though the restaurant was pretty busy. The summer rolls were quite sparse in ingredients and to be honest I've had better. However, the soup was very flavorful and full of fresh ingredients. The accompanying bean sprouts, jalapeño, and herbs were also bright green and fresh. I did not receive my rice though and the language barrier was difficult for me to request for it. The table besides me tried to order extra jalapeños but the waitress did not understand them. I did not want the same trouble so I just had the soup by itself. read more

See all

Visited Manassa area 7/2/2012 and visited this place based upon reviews here. All the good you read here is TRUE! Awesome Pho and rolls! Great service too! read more

clear noodle seafood soup is good, tasty broth, good variety & amount of toppings. grilled pork chop rice is authentic. meat grilled perfectly cooked, not dry (most place with this dish has dried out pork chop), 2 thin and lean but tender chops, good amount of steam rice, chopped green onion stir fried in oil, on top of pork chops brings out the grill flavor, fish sauce is on point for pouring over rice. shaky beefs with steam rice is very good, well marinade, cooked just right, not chewy. $ here for the above dishes is few $ LESS than other places, but tastes authentic. EXCELLENT service tried pho & bun bo Hu a year ago, was bad. read more

Despite the fact that we came in 15 mins before closing, and we stayed there more than we should, they were still very accommodating and friendly and kept insisting to take our time. They didn't make us feel like we were bothering them at all, even though I know for a fact that we were already an intrusion to their schedules. Not to mention that the food is bangin'! Best pho in town and dishes are perfecto! read more

Wanted to try pho for a long time, so after reading dozens of reviews from various social media outlets decided to give Pho 234 a try. Pho 234 had great reviews and less than 5 miles from my home- so why not! I ordered the shrimp rolls and the #18 sliced steak. While the rolls were just okay (didn't like the lettuce) the pho was great! Broth fully of flavor, huge portion (not a lot of steak), and just the right amount of spice. Overall a great meal for under $13 read more

Simply the best pho in manassas, centreville. Broth so good I eat half the soup without any sauce. Meat is tender, fresh, and flavorful. Portions are awesome and the price is cheap (about $10 per person). The #1 bowl is where it's at if you are adventurous. The tendon is exceptionally tender, and the meatballs are tummy and plentiful. I think they slip crack into the soup or something because after looking at my credit statements, I have spent 300 bucks here within the past couple months. Of all the pho places I've been to (pho gourmet, pho hot, pho bistro, pho cyclo, viet house, etc.) this place is the only place that serves up a bowl of steamy, hot, sinful, culinary sex, best enjoyed with a cigarette afterwards. On top of all of that, the place is very clean, frequented often, fast friendly attentive service. Cloud 9 baby....cloud 9. read more

This is my go to place. I always ordered the same thing- freshly squeezed lime juice, Calamari as an app, and vegetable soup with chicken broth and no tofu plz! :) Seriously, the best ever. My sister brought me here for the first time a couple months ago and it was also my first Pho experience. I am ADDICTED. The staff is always very friendly, the restaurant is always clean, tables are never dirty, and food always comes out hot! Love this place, if you have not been- I highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed .. Enjoy :) read more

Best Vietnamese in the area. Excellent Pho, Grill Pork rice noodle, Grilled pork chop. LARGE portion size. We always end up with left overs. read more

This place is great. Vegetarian pho is full of vegetables and fried tofu and almost always spilling over because they give you so much. 4 stars because the service can be hit or miss. Doesn't matter though, the pho is too good. read more

I really like this pho place. I am not sure why it took me so long to come here. It is perfect in the cool weather and when you are starting to feel under the weather especially with some Siracha hot sauce added to it . The large soup is very large and will fill you up. The service is a little slow though and I went when it wasn't too busy. That knocks off a star. read more

Very good place for Vietnamese food! Must try their "uh tieu nam vang" which comes w a lot of sea food and noodle! Also, crispy noodle w seafood are good too, so tasty read more

I went here today for the first time and our waiter was absolutely amazing. Service was fast and he was genuinely cheerful from the second we walked in. He maintained several other tables while serving us and did an amazing job. The prices here are also very reasonable (about $9 for a HUGE pho entree) and very tasty. There are some things that I asked to be left out but that's just my personal preference and something the waiter made very easy to change. I will definitely be back and wish this place and the waiter who served us all the best. read more

My wife and I stumbled into PHO 234 for the first time a few months ago. Now, we take a 35 mile commute (70 miles roundtrip), at least, twice a week to eat at our favorite Vietnamese cuisine restaurant. As you may know, there are many PHO restaurants in the Washington metro area to choose from and we have eaten at more than we can remember (many of which we prefer to forget) but "PHO 234 is the best!" This small family owned new restaurant got it right the first time. The owners of PHO 234 understand the importance of value; quality food, quality service, and reasonable pricing. In addition to the incredible menu and competitive pricing, we observed a genuine concern for customer feedback. If you're looking for a delightful meal and great service, we highly recommend a visit to PHO 234!!! read more

Went in last night (3/30/11) for some pho tai chin...everything was PERFECT! The service was prompt and friendly, the place was spotless (the ladies room smelled really good with the poutpourri! LOL) and the soup, as always, was very fragrant and savory. I think they're better than Pho75 (in Arlington by Courthouse or the Route 50/graham road location) and that says a LOT!!!!! I wanted some of their yummy spring rolls (fresh or fried they are really good too!) but decided to abstain this time...they put enough meat in my bowl to make 2 meals!!! I need to watch my staypuff figure LOL. ;) So if you have pho fever and are in the Manassas area, I can HIGHLY recommend this place. My only wish was that they were open from like 9am-midnight since we don't have a 24 hour pho spot in the area :( read more
