I stopped in @ Pho 234 to try something new to me. My usual Vietnamese go to soup is Pho Ga. But recently I had read about: Bún bò Huê... It's a Vietnamese noodle soup with brisket and pork - and a semi-spicy broth. It's tasty - but not enough so to unseat my cravings for Pho Ga! Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay.

I need to make sure to come here more often! A delicious bowl of soup in a family owned restaurant with the food always so fresh! The servers are so attentive and helpful.

Menu

Best Pho in 20 mile radius. Broth was not too seasoned and didn't have a dominant flavor, but exactly perfect. The meat had a decent quality and the noodles were fresh. The portion size is worth it for the price. One thing to note though is their choice of music, the modern American music doesn't suit the ambiance. I wish they would stick with mellow calm Vietnamese music

#3 Spicy
Oscar L.

The #3 was very tasty, although not spicy as advertised. You can add additional chili upon request, but don't add too much because it really is spicy! Service was great and this place is definitely worth trying out.

Pho 234 - Combination Beef Noodle Soup
Herman C.

Driving back from Shenandoah national Park and heading towards Arlington. Was looking for a nice place to have hot soup or broth after such a long day of hiking in windy, cold weather. Looking for spots, this was one location that had solid reviews. Although we arrived, just shortly before closing, the place was packed even on a Sunday evening. The portion for the large bowl of pho was fantastic and everything tasted authentic. The whole staff were very welcoming and there is something observed about authenticity when the staff reflect the ethnicity of the cuisine they serve. Will definitely return again !

Overall solid choice. Got extra noodles to go . Combo for here. Noodles to go to for later. So yes. Overall booths need some work. Lightning is dim. TV is the focus in the dining area. Service attentive and helpful. Bubble tea seems to be popular here, saw multiple orders.

Grilled Chicken
Haja G.

Let me to start by saying, I really wish I got his name, but I believe he was either the owner or manager, and wow what great customer service skills this guy has. He is very happy and accommodating from the moment you walk in. Takes time to explain the menu to you and even offer some suggestions. I was absolutely not a fan of the pho though, it lacked a bit of flavor, and the meat choices were very thin. In which I actually informed him to let him know I was not a fan of the taste, and he quickly brought back a menu for me and told me to pick something else. He did not have an attitude about it at all, he kept his same happy and accommodating demeanor. The grilled chicken rice dishes are actually really good, the chicken in season so well. So I can imagine that there are other appetizers and kitchen dishes are good too. The place is not too fancy, but it's very clean, and so is the restroom.

Our first time at Pho VietFresh, and we had such a great experience!…read more We walked in with our baby, and before we had even sat down, they were already bringing over a high chair and a kids' cup for him. Unfortunately, he isn't sitting up on his own just yet, so we couldn't use the high chair, but we thought it was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. It immediately made us feel welcomed as a family. Tram provided wonderful service, and the portions were generous. The broth was SO good--flavorful, comforting, and exactly what we were hoping for. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend Pho VietFresh, especially if you're looking for great food and a family-friendly atmosphere.

We were here on a Sunday around 4 p.m. At that time of day, it wasn't very busy. Both of us ordered pho. I had pho ga with white meat chicken. My husband got pho with shrimp. The servings were huge! We were impressed with how generous they were with the aromatics. We both liked what we ordered. The place is roomy. When we entered, we were told to pick a table, and we chose a 4-top. The decor is simple -- paintings of outdoor spaces. There was also a crucifix on one wall. If you need a fork for the pho, please ask for one. The staff was efficient and polite. When it's time to pay, you have to go to the bar area where your purchase gets rung up.

I know - because I asked the restaurant staff when I recently visited in person for some Pho. Why is this important? Because, for some reason - the previous business listing under the "Viet Flavor" name - was simply updated/changed on Yelp to "Pho Banh MI 89" - and of course this keeps all the reviews that were under the the Viet Flavor name. What should have occurred - is that the Viet Flavor business listing is "Closed," and a new business listing created for "Pho Banh MI 89." Until that happens - I have no way to post a review except for here. I visited recently to sample the Pho Ga. The Pho Ga was expensive - I paid around $17 and change for a bowl - seemed a little high. I also ordered the Summer Rolls - which were pretty standard quality-wise. The Pho Ga chicken broth is a bit light for my palate. I'd like to see more depth of flavor and complexity to the chicken broth. As usual, after tasting the broth - I added all the accoutrements: Fresh Basil, lime juice, Jalapeños, and Bean Sprouts. Noodles were not clumped; broth was steaming. Decent bowl of Pho Ga - but not outstanding. The inside of the place was totally gutted during the transition to the new business. Bright, clean, lots of seating. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #PhoBanhMI89

Ambiance is casual. It's a small restaurant at a strip mall (the restaurant's capacity is 85 people). This place always has customers but at peak dining times, there's a wait out the door- yes, even during summer sometimes, but especially when it's cold or raining. Their pho is spectacular, as is their vermicelli bowls, spring and summer rolls. Banh xeo is mid-- there's a specific spice that throws it off (maybe turmeric). I stopped by here recently and noticed they have new menus. Quick skim: pho prices haven't changed, but certain menu items have gone up about $1. If you're looking for a sweet treat after lunch, there's a Sweet Frog 2 doors down, Okaeri next door (Japanese soufflé pancakes and lattes), Paris Baguette a few yards away. There's plenty of parking but you might have to park a few yards away when it's busy.

The meat portion was generous, which I appreciated. We also ordered the cha gio, but it wasn't worth it in my opinion. It was pretty underwhelming and not something I'd order again. Service was fine, and while our table was slightly sticky, it wasn't a huge issue or anything that affected the meal. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're craving a decent bowl of pho, but there wasn't anything that really stood out enough to make me eager to return.

As someone who takes their pho seriously, I have to say Pho Le delivered where it mattered…read moremost--the broth. Deep, rich, and layered with flavor, it had that slow-simmered warmth that makes you appreciate a well-made bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Every sip felt like comfort in a spoon. The beef was tender, the noodles had the right bite, and the overall execution was solid. Service? Friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself? Clean and well-kept. No complaints on that front. Now, for the one thing that threw me off--the ambiance. Sitting in a Vietnamese restaurant, fully ready to embrace the experience, I found myself listening to Hispanic music and watching Spanish TV. It wasn't blaring or disruptive, but it definitely took away from the immersion. I get that the area has a strong Hispanic presence, and I respect that, but when I'm diving into a bowl of pho, I want the setting to match the dish. Maybe that's just me, but it felt a little off-brand. Would I come back? Absolutely--for the food. The pho alone is worth the visit. But if I had a choice between this and a spot that fully embraces the cultural experience, I'd probably lean toward the latter.

Nue was the fine dining recommendation, and I have to say it was a great introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. As far as parking, there is a garage within walking distance of the stores and restaurants, so parking was pretty convenient. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed. It was dimly lit, spacious, and had a really nice atmosphere. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered some great suggestions, which was especially helpful since I wasn't very familiar with Vietnamese food. The menu was pretty expansive, and I have to say some of the cocktail descriptions immediately caught my attention. I tried the Lychee Sunset Fizz, made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila, lychee liqueur and lychee, calamansi, yuzu and grenadine. I tend to go for sweeter drinks so this was a nice balance. For food, the Seafood Chả Giò was one of my favorites. It had wild Gulf shrimp, lump crab, Berkshire pork, taro, carrots and fresh herbs. It definitely seems to be one of their headlining items because it was something I noticed quite a few people ordering, and I can see why. But my absolute favorite was the Snow Crab Fried Rice. It had hand-pulled snow crab, shrimp, shallots, eggs and oyster mushrooms, and it was so flavorful and filling. Honestly, I regretted not ordering another portion to take home because I would have happily eaten it again later. All in all, I would definitely return to Nue to try some of the other items on the menu. I'm definitely not finished with my Vietnamese food journey yet, but this was a really great stop along the way. If the Snow Crab Fried Rice is any indication of what's still waiting for me on the menu, I have plenty more to explore.
