    P16. Pho Ga
    Meghan W.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by Pho 52 in Frederick, MD. I'd heard great things about it, so I tried it out on a cold, cloudy day. Tucked in the corner of a tiny shopping center, you probably wouldn't give the restaurant a second thought, but you're missing out! There is very little parking, approximately six spaces that all businesses share, so be aware. The restaurant's interior is very simple, but I was immediately greeted by a gentleman behind the register who welcomed me and pointed me to the only empty table available (a packed house). This gentleman also took our orders. He was friendly, pleasant and helpful. I ordered pho ga and from the first bite, I was hooked. The broth was so flavorful! I also loved that Pho 52 offered dark meat chicken. I've never seen that at the other pho restaurants I've visited and I was quite happy with it. The portions are generous but not so big that you feel uncomfortably full. I highly recommend Pho 52. It's a great place for delicious Vietnamese food!

    Pho - so incredibly good!

    This place was really amazing. It is a small local business serving up what they do best. We tried three different types of Pho and they all were some of the best flavors that we have had. The owners and servers were all great. It is nondescript from the outside but so much love on the inside. Already looking forward to coming back!

    Large veggie pho with extra tofu
    Lexi R.

    I'm a sucker for a large veggie pho with extra tofu. They always make the tofu perfectly and the broth is the best. They have a lot of options and all of their food is great. I've never heard of anyone disliking a meal from here. I also enjoy this soup as leftovers and love to eat it cold too. This place is my favorite spot in Frederick and they are always so kind here. I probably eat here once or twice a week. Always hits the spot!

    Pho 52 is my favorite pho spot in the Frederick and surrounding areas. Their pho broth is clean and the bun bo hue (spicy noodle soup) has amazing and authentic flavor. The veggies and tofu they use in their veggie pho are top tier and we prefer it over other pho restaurants. My kids are a fan of the lemongrass beef with vermicelli noodles. I order take out often from here and the one time I dined in the customer service was good and food came out in a timely manner.

    I ordered from this relatively new restaurant at the recommendation of my friend who is Vietnamese and thinks this is the best in Frederick. I ordered the soup on Friday evening and the vermicelli noodles today. The broth was outstanding and both dishes were executed and packaged for takeout very nicely. My husband is on a low sodium diet and the owners husband who works front of house recommended the chicken pho. Both orders were takeout but noted that the inside dining area looked very clean so I would consider dining in next time.

    $5 for 2 summer rolls Was literally just lettuce shrimp and wrap nothing else
    Frankie C.

    Food was ok, nothing special. Summer rolls were literally just lettuce and shrimp.... Got the beef pho and that was pretty good. Summer rolls were $5 for two. Super disappointed with these.

    Small Brisket Pho

    This is my first time trying Pho in the Frederick area and I absolutely loved it! Service was amazing, the nice man at the front was very sweet and made sure my pho was good! It is a very small area but it felt very cozy. I was feeling very sick that day and this place made my day 100x better!! Will definitely be coming more often Also I got a small brisket Pho and it was the perfect size!

Thankfully, my server did allow me to substitute the sesame chicken into my Cobb salad, and that was actually a great addition. The frustrating part was that after we had already finished our meals and were ready to leave, my server came back and told me she had been mistaken and that they did, in fact, have kombucha available. At that point it was too late, and unfortunately there wasn't any offer made to make up for the inconvenience. Another disappointment was learning that The Orchard does not offer any type of military appreciation or support. In a community with many veterans and military families, that was something I noticed and found disappointing. Many other local businesses make an effort to show appreciation, and that kind of support goes a long way for those who have served and for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The food was good, but with so many other options in Frederick that offer great food while also making customers and the community feel valued, I don't think I'll be returning. A business's connection to its community matters, and supporting those who have served is something I personally look for when deciding where to spend my money.

In consulting Yelp, we discovered Tsunami, located near the intersection of E. Patrick and N. Market. We were greeted warmly and seated in a not terribly busy restaurant. However, by the time we left, every table was taken. Actually, we noticed when heading back to our car afterwards, that all the restaurants along E. Patrick were completely filled with patrons. A lively area! Tsunami's menu is filled with Japanese and Korean options. They look to have a happy hour menu for weekday evenings. For appetizers, we started with the Teriyaki Bites and Miso Black Cod. Oh my, let me tell you, the Miso Black Cod was fabulous. The cod was fresh and we loved its lightly spicy delicious sauce. The spinach that came with the dish was excellent. We also loved the little mushrooms, cucumber and shaved carrot that came with the dish. The steamed buns Teriyaki Bites were good, but they stuck to the rack they came in, tearing apart when pulling them from the rack. For entrees, we ordered the Spicy Beef Bugolgi Ramen and Curry Karaage. The ramen's beef was excellent and the broth tasty and compelling. A great dish. The Curry Karaage was good. Along with the pieces of karaage chicken, this dish came with kind of a mix of cabbage and rice, potato and carrot. The curry flavor was very mild. Service was excellent through our entire meal.

I haven't tried any of the Korean or Latin dishes yet, but when I do, I'll report back. As I am a creature of habit, I of course ordered the pho dac biet. The broth was good! I'd rate this pho a 3.5 due to a lack of meat (it was mostly the meat balls), but it was at a reasonable price of $14. They give cute little sauce jars with hoisin sauce and siracha sauce! The third sauce is my favorite, though. It's vinegar with pickled (?) onions and chili! So yum... For dessert we got the mango sticky rice!! A bit on the pricy side at $9, but it was super good!
