Flavorless, bland broth. What else matters with pho? The success of this place boggles my mind. Nearly 900 Yelpers have reviewed this place and it averages four stars. When we had dinner there tonight, the place was packed with a line out the door. The most insane aspect of our meal was that the parking lot is absolutely perfumed with great pho aroma. Sadly, it doesn't translate to the bowl. Is the stuff inexpensive? Sure? Will it feel you up? Yup. If all you at looking for is a big meal/hangover cure, I guess you'll be happy. I couldn't have been more disappointed. I was one of a party of three and the only thing that helped any of us get any kind if flavor was the lime and Sriracha that accompanies the meal. I would recommend going a few more miles down the road and venture over to Eden Center at 7 Corners for better Vietnamese options. read more

Solid 1.5 stars. No more, no less. There are times when you can't just go to Yelp and agree with the masses; you have to experience things for yourself. Pho 75 is a location where a 4 star rating is being WAY too nice. Where do I start.. Oh yeah, coming in the restaurant. Instead of a warm welcome to the place, I see a "server" waving on the other end of the restaurant a menu in the air telling me to sit at a table, without even asking if I'm going to be by myself or with others. I told the man that I'm having another person joining me, but somehow it looked like I pissed him off when I said that. Just a perception, I may be wrong. But then he really pushed it for me. He asked me just after I sat if I'm ready to order. Uhh, look buddy. Maybe it didn't occur to you that I've never been here before and even if I had, I would like some time to think of putting money in your wallet. I had questions, but refused to acknowledge the "server" because he has already irritated my experience, so I just ordered the first choice on the 'Chef Recommended' menu and asked to throw Viet meatballs in. Guy can't even give me eye contact or even thank me for ordering. Just a nod and a muffled okay and moved on to waving menus in the air for other guests. The broth was good, but the noodles were thin and overcooked. The thin slices of meat were sooo thin.. And the only way to get the meat rare was if I get extra meat. I didn't do that but my friend with me did, and I had ordered before her. What a disappointment. The way they run the place would be far more efficient (and less off-putting) if they have the menu waving servers in front of a counter and take orders that way. The restaurant had a gesture of a food court/cafeteria with people that has no business of taking care of you. Oh, what's even better news is that this infamous Pho place only takes cash. Only. Takes. Cash. Mind you not everyone in Arlington has ever laid eyes on Yelp nor did they bother to look on this dump's page to see if they accept cards or not. What do they do to the ones who decided to eat here and wasn't knowledgeable of this information that's only posted next to the cash register? It's dumb. They have pride all over their wall stating they're the best pho place in NoVa but can't even have a credit card system. 21st century. Get it together. Stay in Falls Church/DC/wherever you venture for the best Pho. I'll stay at Minh's: slighty better service but delicious pho. I'm never coming back here. Will do Ray's Hell Burger going down Rosslyn next time. read more

Simply the best Pho in the area. Their secret is running the broth through cheese cloth approximately 1 bajilion times before the steamy goodness reaches your cafeteria style table. Fresh bay leaves cracked throughout, cilantro, bean sprouts, Iced coffee... Too good to type. One thing though, don't go expecting friendly customer service. Thats not on the menu. In Vietnam, Pho is served from little boats. You paddle up, take a bowl, and f' off. The only way to make this more authentic would be to flood the dining area. They got the f' off down... Enjoy. I know I will... read more

Traveled to DC for the Marine Corps Marathon and feeling under the weather, searched for local restaurants. I was in the mood for pho to help with the congestion. Pho 75 came up on the search and I wasn't disappointed. Restaurant seems to be busy all the time with the door propped open by guests waiting on seating. Restaurant space is limited so you might find yourself sitting next to other patrons. Service was quick and pho came out quickly. Pho was extremely delicious and hit the spot. Only wished it came with thin slices of red onions in it to give it a richer taste. Gave four stars because drink refills do not happen. Once orders are taken and food is delivered, you don't see your server again at your table. They're about turn and burn on the tables...which is fine. Highly suggest if you don't mind the lack of service. ***CASH ONLY PLACE read more

I'm really not a huge fan of this place. I have actually only eaten there once, after a looooong trek to and from the Mall for Inauguration. It was freezing, I was starving. The pho was decent. But honestly, to me pretty much any pho is decent to amazing, and this pho was definitely just decent. The place is totally no frills, but that's ok. It's just not a place I would drive across town for. Stop when you're strarving and freezing? Sure. Make a 15 minute drive? Nah. My gripe that brings it down from three stars to two boils down to poor customer service. My little brother had his wisdom teeth out last week and I told him I'd bring him some pho. I didn't know what time they closed--I didn't see a sign on the door. But when I walked in at 8:16 a waiter started barking at me about how they were closed. Some customers were paying at the time, so I asked if there was any way I could just get an order to go. He was shaking his head so forcefully that I should have known better than to ask "Do you happen to know of another place where I could get pho nearby?" and he scoffed and said he didn't know anything about other pho restaurants. The customer who was checking out suggested that I try a place up the street, which I did. I don't know, I realize it's no frills and decent, fast food. But I'm just not a fan of supporting jerks. When I try to support your restaurant, don't act like I'm a nuisance. It means I won't come back. read more

My god this was some great pho, and quite possibly the best I've had, especially for the steal of $6.75 for a pretty big bowl. The broth was not too salty and had a complexity to it that really made it special. It was some next level umami ish! I don't normally rave about any noodle soups or pho or pasta, but this warrants it. Especially if you're hungover the day after your birthday. It was so good, we came here twice in the same weekend, and it was packed around 11:30am both times. Somehow there was one last remaining table there that called my group's name. read more

Best pho in the area. Always quick seating and lightning fast service. Cash only, but there is an ATM in the back. $6.95 for a super filling bowl of delicious pho. Can't beat that! Perfect cure for the Sunday morning hangover. read more

Pho 75 - #6, and Vietnamese Black Drip - Pot Coffee with Condensed Milk - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

CASH ONLY! So don't forget your dolla bills. The broth here is pho-king bomb as hell, and I always load mine up with plum sauce, sprouts, basil, and lime juice. A regular sized bowl is plenty for me, especially if I drink all the soup (which I do. Waste not want not!). And it's only $7. Winninggggg. Granted, this place isn't as cheap as some places I've been to around LA, but given the fact that DC is a pho desert, and every other sit down restaurant is plenty more expensive, I give Pho 75 at least a dozen thumbs up. Downside: ridiculous food coma after lunch. :( Also... for the haters who have already posted stuff, you'll probably only be a hater if you're a picky eater. The meat selections are all customizable. If you have a problem with green onions and a couple other things that the cook throws in before you choose your own toppings, that's your own damn fault. Side note: if you're going to throw in sprouts, do it at the very beginning before the broth cools down. That way, they become par-cooked. (I personally dislike the taste of straight up raw sprouts) My personal fav? Option 10. MMM FATTY BRISKET. read more

Pho 75 - Mmm... - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Isn't Pho from Vietnam? Man, I can see why we wanted to take that country over! And, don't hate me John McCain, but thank god we failed! Because, honestly, I have a feeling that if we'd won, paved it over, and put up McDonnald's everywhere, I wouldn't be able to get decent Pho anywhere. As it happens, though, by going all "quagmire" on that country, then declaring "mission accomplished" and leaving, we actually got the better end of the deal (check your shirt, it's probably made in Vietnam!). As it is, though, Pho 75 in Rosslyn provides a tasty treat of former communist goodies that likely rivals the real deal. In an ode to communist equality the restaurant sports a decidedly minimalist Chairman Mao "minimalist" decor. Have a seat at any one of the many tables, they're all pretty much the same. Take a look at the equally spartan menu and make your choice of delicious beef or chicken broth soups. Within minutes, the waitstaff will have a steaming hot bowl of soup coupled with a plate of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapenos. This soup is so good, it'll have you screaming "Give me more, dear leader!" Wait, wrong south Asian country, but you get the point. This place is amazing. Don't worry about the numerous accent marks on the menu, just point and order. You won't be disappointed. read more

Pho 75, what happened? My bf and I made it an almost weekly ritual, coming here on the weekends for a weekly dose of pho. Each time we came, they gave us less and less food (in the same size bowl), less and less coffee (seriously, not even half the cup, before I pour it into the giant glass topped off with a TON of ice...and even then, it only gets to 2/3 of the class). I griped a LOT about this (I LOVE viet coffee, and I get very upset when people deny me that happiness)...at this point, my rating went down to a 4, maybe 3.5 just because they're not as good value anymore, and they've gotten more rude. the last straw, though, was when the quality of the meat just plummeted--and never recovered. The brisket became cardboard, very hard, and totally unchewable. The tendon was no longer the slightly chewy, but tender and flavorful piece of tendon, but instead some opaque piece of rubber that didn't taste much like anything. Really, I imagine the texture is rather similar to chewing an insole. That's right, of a shoe. Even this would only bring it down to a 3, if it had only occurred once. But this happened several times...until we finally couldn't take it anymore. Sorry, Pho 75--as you'll note, I had rated you a 5. Until I hear that you've picked back up, I'll be getting my pho fix elsewhere. read more

I've never had Pho until I went here, which is up the street from my work, and when I went I tagged along with a friend who's Vietnamese. She actually did the ordering for all of us and I sat there, completely confused. What I wasn't confused about though, was how delicious Pho was. The broth, the noodles, the meatballs, it was all comforting and tasty. If you go here for lunch, here's a warning, get there 15 minutes before noon, otherwise you'll be in line. There is always a line. There will probably not be a time where there is no line to speak of. Also, have cash, because they are cash only. They can carry out such an operation because the people will still show up and line up. The interior of the space is pretty cool too, I enjoyed it as the place is no nonsense and all business. Pho business. They have a tasty lemonade too. read more

I've been here three times so far, and can verify that the pho is delicious, as are the salted lemonade and special Vietnamese-style iced coffee. That being said, I've got to give a two-star rating because of how an allergy-related snafu was handled today. I've had a deadly peanut allergy since I was 6 years old--not quite as intense as the kids who need their own cafeteria, but bad enough that one bite of it can throw me into anaphylactic shock. When I ordered my normal salted lemonade today, I had what I thought was a lemon seed come through my straw, so I chewed it. Spoiler alert: It wasn't a seed. I quickly spit it into my napkin, drank a bit of water and tried to stay calm. Now, I get that cross-contamination happens, and I knew I had Benadryl in my car, so I took a breath and asked the waiter if the lemonade ingredients had changed at all, and if I could get a nut-free lemonade to replace it. He was super kind and checked into it, but was quickly shooed back to my table with peanut-contaminated lemonade in hand and told me that he was told there were no peanuts in it. I thanked him (since he really did try), and finished my food. However, when I went to pay, I was still charged for the lemonade and told there were no nuts in it. After explaining that I wasn't after free stuff -- I just had a bad allergy and wanted to make them aware of the issue so that they could check and see if any additional nuts had spilled into the batch of lemonade -- the manager seemed to soften a bit, but I still don't know if I trust the place enough to risk it again. TL;DR: If you don't have nut allergies, go forth and enjoy the best pho I've ever had. But if you do, tread carefully. read more

I really enjoyed Pho 75 and would definitely recommend it to someone who needed a good cheap dinner in Rosslyn. I enjoyed the bare-bones cafeteria style eating and the rich broth, as well as the massive plate of bean shoots, lime wedges, and basil they give each customer in addition to a lovely bowl of pho! I think I would have given four stars if I thought there were better quality ingredients, although the taste (with one exception, to be described) was wonderful... WARNING ONE: do NOT get the meatballs. I should have just not gotten any meat at all. The balls took me straight back to elementary school and dreaded spongy "mystery meat" that would often frequent our lunches. Go for the pork instead! WARNING TWO: there are no true vegetarian options. No veggie broth, no veggie add-ins for the soup. BOTTOM LINE: seriously good pho but nothing fancy. Get there early, bc by the time we were done eating at around 7 there was a like snaking around the corner! read more

Simple, old school, cheap, and good. Pho 75 is charmingly bare bones. The formula is simple. Noodles, broth, meat, and repeat. The broth was good, not great, and several of the meats were mysteriously questionable. My girlfriend made the mistake of ordering the meatballs and they had one of the weirdest consistencies I've ever encountered. I ate them for her out of obligation. Pho 75 may be too simple actually. At times I found myself wishing there was something else in there besides those staple ingredients. However, can I really expect much more from a place that serves such giant bowls so cheaply? Probably not. I'd still probably go back because they do provide good quality for the price. Be careful, this place fills up quickly so be prepared to wait if you come during peak hours. read more

What can ruin a great food experience, bad service! They won't be seeing me again. They're service puts a bad taste in your mouth.

Ugh food poisoning. Barfing and diarrhea for 2 days. Took my body over a week to get back to normal. That's what happens when you cut the meat first and then leave it out on the counter for the air to build bacteria all over it. Never going back. Ugh. Not sure if I can eat pho ever again. I've been here over 100 times, the people working there the day I got sick were new. Never seen them before. And they had these stupid grins on their faces. Thanks a lot. read more

Pho 75 is the gold standard by which I judge all other pho restaurants. Rich slightly tangy/sweet broth, plenty of onion, lots of fresh sprouts and herbs.. It's good times. And damn, it's filling. A small noodles-only bowl has almost killed me on several occasions. As noted, the atmosphere is cafeteria-like and the waitstaff is more interested in efficiently carrying a full bowl to your table and taking away an empty one than it is about coddling you. But you know what? I am perfectly happy with that. Eating pho is serious business, and I know how to go about it. Things like ambiance or waiters bugging you every few minutes would only distract. read more

Okay, this place grew on me every time i visited. I love to get regular with fatty brisket, flank, and tendon. Best combo. The broth is just amazing, i have noticed they have been more and more consistent with the richness if the broth. Service has gotten a lot better, the price is still good (less then eight dollars for regular) Man im gonna miss this place when i move next month. Please take advantage of this place if u are around. If u are a true foodie and appreciate good food, you will likeit read more

Disappointing. I read some of these stellar reviews and thought why don't I give it a try. I loved pho up in Silver Spring, but was looking for a nice place for dinner after classes. This was not it. Attempt 1: Arrived at 8:02pm. Was told the place was closed. What restaurant is closed by 8pm? Attempt 2: Was grumpily told to sit wherever, eventually I was handed a menu and served. Lousy service this time, I thought, but hey at least I wasn't turned away at the door like last time! Sadly, the soup when it eventually came did not do anything to lift my impressions of the place. It was a light, tasteless broth. Even the vegetables for the soup were sub par -old, like yesterday's leftovers. The whole experience was a real downer. I would highly recommend skipping this joint and heading to one of the delicious restaurants nearby. read more

Fast, affordable, and good too? Enter Pho 75. We were in the mood for pho but weren't sure where to go. Type in pho into yelp and our area, and Pho 75 came up. With over 1000 reviews and most of them positive, we figured this probably was a safe bet. Pho 75 only does one thing and it's pho. They have some dessert items too but the only main entree options is pho. I ordered brisket and eye of round steak. Hubby ordered flank and round steak. Food here is fast and our hot bowls of soup were delivered soon after our order. With the pho comes the usual toppings (jalepenos, bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil). Then we were off flavoring our bowls of pho to our liking. The broth was good and meat and noodles were cooked perfectly. Make sure you carry cash, Pho 75 is cash only. Overall no complaints and we will be back. read more

The pho at Pho 75 is so superior, other pho places can see the writing on the walls. Figuratively, not literally. Which is kind of ironic, since Pho 75 has no writing on their walls. Literally, not figuratively. Great food! Great service! Unique dining experience. read more

****.5 stars. There are controllable groans and uncontrollable groans. Pho 75 was an uncontrollable groan. As soon as the first bite hit my mouth, this groan fell out before I could stop it, which is a problem because I've been fighting my boyfriend about liking pho. Every time he wants it I sigh a big sigh but do my girlfriendly duties and choke it down with him. I guess I've just been having bad pho up til now, that groan rolled out before I could hide it. Their pho ga (chicken noodle soup) has such a delicious homey flavor, I tried to drink as much of it as I can, after I cleared out the noodles. I asked for dark meat, but it wasn't very soft, it was sliced very thin and had a texture like white meat, and some of it had the texture of cartilage or tendons. So the meat was egh but the noodles and the soup is amazing. When we first walked in, the place was packed full of people at 2pm on a Sunday. Chock full, cafeteria style. The menu is unassuming and doesn't have the typical fare - what do you mean this place doesn't have spring rolls? But what they do, they do right. I can't believe it, this place has turned me.... I think this place is 1.5 stars beyond Pho Viet Flare, and millions of miles beyond Pho King in Del Ray. This is our place from now on. Oh, btw, parking blows here. Park somewhere else, anywhere else if possible. read more

PHO 75 is the absolute BOMB when it comes to this classic Vietnamese dish-they just knock it out of the park! I have been coming here for 7 years and have yet to experience such flavorful broth and tender meat an any other PHO restaurant in the area. I also love the fact that I can get PHO to go and they wrapped up all of the fixings so nicely, the lime, sprouts, etc, its just a bag of magic and a great soup to nurse you back to health if you have a cold. The only reason its 4 instead of 5 stars is well the ambiance is lacking, much resembles a high school cafeteria and the bathrooms have been "questionably" cleaned...but overall amazing no nonsense PHO that keeps me coming back for more! read more

I missed the hype train. I've had better pho in other parts of the DMV, though this place is definitely on the cheap side. I will caveat this statement and acknowledge that I ordered the meal to go. Food: The pho was standard. I felt they had a healthy amount of noodles, great helping of meat, and ok broth. The serving size (though a large) was more schmedium ish by local pho standards. Atmosphere: Non-existent. Don't come here with any expectations. A great summation of the atmosphere is "good for lunch" - stop, eat, and go. They want you around as much as you want to be around. Service: Non-existent. Quick gestures and grunts. Expect bad service when you go and you may be surprised by how somewhat decent is. I'm lying, but go with it. read more

The pho here is very good and service is fast. It gets really crowded during lunch time, but we were seated pretty quickly even though the line was long when we got there. Our order was taken right away and we got our bowls 5 minutes later. They have washingtonian, zagat, etc awards lined up on their wall lol. The only downside is it's cash only. read more

Pho 75 - Soft tendon and fat brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Because I am obsessed with Pho, I wish this place were in DC so I could frequent it more often. Pho 75 is great but not my favorite due to its cafeteria, communist style atmosphere. Along the lines of Soviet Safeway in Dupont, this is Soviet style pho. NO CREDIT CARDS here. There is often a line out the door of people waiting to get their daily meal provided by the State. All the tables are long picinic style, stretching across much of the room. The atmosphere would bother me less if they served appetizers, but this place is just straight up pho. I have to eat Vietnamese summer rolls with my pho, but that's just me. That said this is hands down some of the best Pho in the DC area. There are few things worse than bad Pho and this place puts many others to shame. Many people think it is THE best. And I acknowledge that it does have a very consistent quality to it. While I am partial to Pho 95 in Rockville though cause of their summer rolls and some great experiences there, I may be leaning back towards Pho 75. I rarely get out to Rockville these days but when I do the quality at Pho 95 has been lacking, or maybe my taste just evolved. Either way, I probably will be going to Pho 75 more often now. read more

Note: Do not fear the bible tripe! It adds amazing flavor, you don't actually need to eat the tripe itself. Anyways, I grew up eating pho every weekend. It was my family's pancakes and eggs. So it is safe to say that I know pho. And I LOVE this place. Warnings: it's dirty. Cash only. Generally a line. You're given about thirty seconds to decide what you want. Bring your own bottle of water, the glasses are tiny and you are damn lucky to get a refill. But this pho is epic. It never fails to remind me of home. read more

The broth is amazing and the meat is so tender. The service is quick and efficient. They're very accommodating to groups large and small. Why then does Pho 75 get only an "A-Ok" rating? Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing. You won't regret going, but it is a hike from the Metro. (Better than a 30min walk to Eden Center, but a hearty 15min uphill from Rosslyn.) Their menu only has Pho, so it can be limiting if someone in your group doesn't want noodles. They also just had a rent increase, so their prices went up a sukosh. If you have a pho craving and need to Metro there, Pho 75 is the place to go. Just be prepared for a walk and don't expect anything besides pho. read more

My very first Pho experience was at Pho 75 years ago. It's a crazy busy place, it's packed at lunch time. The Pho is solid, broth is delish and ingredients and extras are always fresh. As others have mentioned, the ambiance is nonexistent -- be ready to order when someone gets to your table, and don't expect pleasantries. Food comes out fast, which is good, considering the ambiance :) Cash only, and decent parking on the block, try it. You definitely get what you pay for, good Pho for a good price. read more

I go get Pho, i enjoy it, I come to yelp...and lots of people hate it. Are my tastebuds broke, or theirs? Whatever, I'm a fan of this place, and I'd recommend it. They do ONE thing, and do it well, so if you're looking for spring rolls or other Viet fare, look elswhere. Ambience is...well, there really isn't any. It's basically cafeteria tables. I don't care. And neither do others, apparently - place is jammed around lunchtime! Prices are pretty standard, but cash only is weird. Just be ready. read more

One of the things I love about pho is the restaurant's atmosphere. You know it's the real deal when the waiters welcome you (actually, point to you then to an empty table which you assume is yours) with seemingly unsmiling faces, brusque manner, and a heavily accented, "How many?" So if you are into all of that too and looking for some delicious pho, I recommend Pho 75. First and foremost, their pho is good. They are known for that so I have yet tried anything else. The broth is rich. It is richer when you come in the morning or early afternoon; it's still good close to their closing time (8pm) but somewhat watered down. Their meat and their noodles are also good and well-cooked. My friend recommends getting a regular over a large; she claims the amount of noodles is the same for both sizes but the large has more broth. I, however, do not notice because I am too busy nose-diving into this big bowl every time. But I do notice their meat amount is slowly shrinking... People also come for their Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. Coffee-lovers and non-coffee lovers alike love it. The condensed milk adds a sweet afterkick to the bitterness of the coffee--balancing the combo pretty well. I was a fan, even before I started enjoying regular coffee. Second, the atmosphere. The noise level is generally average but that also depends on the time. Equally to the noise, the line length is unpredictable. There has been a significant increase in customers over the past two years. Every time I go for lunch, there has been a line out the door. It is worth it though because the waiters clear tables and seat you very quickly. The waiters are great. Past their tough exterior, they're softies. My friends and I have gone enough times for them to recognize us and smile whenever they see us. They even ask how we are doing in life and "Where other friend?" if we're missing someone. I would say that's a win hospitality. Third, parking can be a hassle. Though they do have a private lot, it is small and shared by four other shops/restaurants. If you're lucky, you can get a spot right away. If not, anticipate a wait or look for street parking (equally tough). The best way is either taking metro or bus--it's only a short walk from either. With that being said, definitely Pho 75 if you're in the mood for some good pho. Just keep in mind, they close at 8pm and CASH only! OH and if you're still hungry after that, feel free to head over to the famous Ray's Hell Burger right next door to grab a burger and some fries. No kidding. Happy eatings. read more

This establishment completely ignored me and my friend today while I watched other Asian customers be seated and served in a prompt manner. Even ones that sat after us. After waiting a good 6/7 minuets, I tried waving down our server who was standing doing nothing. He looked straight at me and continued to ignore me. It was not until I got up and walked over to him asking for a server to come take our order, did he actually come to the table to take our order. The food was good pho, but the service is racist. read more

Best I've ever had! I usually go with #6 #9 or #11 - the value is truly unbeatable. The line may be long, but it goes quick and is worth the wait. read more

Cash only, one of the good Pho spots in DC/NOVA, the other good one being in Falls Church.

Phonomenal! I am such a fan of pho and pho 75 dishes out it out so well. The cafeteria style dining room really makes this place all about the food, the delicious bowls of fiery broth, sumptuous noodles and decadent meats are a heavenly combination. If you love pho, you'll love this place, if you have never had pho, try this place. They have a great variety of options to add to your noodles and for those who like it plain you can get just noodles. Each bowl of heavenly goodness comes with the usual accompaniment of sprouts, basil and peppers and of course there are ginormous bottles of the rooster on the table. My method of attach is to taint my broth fire red with rooster sauce before I even dive in. Eating pho here is a cathartic experience, a cleansing, peaceful jaunt into a Vietnamese tradition. My personal favorite is the number 7, a pleasant mix of beef, tripe and love add to this either salty lemonade, salty plum juice, lemon iced tea or my favorite, Vietnamese special iced coffee and you are in shangri-la! They close at 8PM, so be warned and go early! read more

Supposedly the oldest pho place in the area, it's also (in my most humble opinion) the best. I always order the small bowl of chicken pho, which is by no means SMALL. I always ask for extra cilantro and lime and season my pho with practically all the provided bean sprouts and no chili pepper slices - I add hot sauce instead and a minute sprinkle of some sort of fish sauce. To drink, always lemonade, but a good portion of my friends are fans of this Vietnamese cold coffee drink. This isn't a fancy place (think: jeans and tshirt with a baseball cap). I wouldn't even call it a restaurant really; it's more like a cafeteria. The service is friendly though and very accommodating. I also happen to enjoy the location - first, because I can walk there and second, because if you need to drive they have a lot (it's in a strip mall). **OPINION PRINCESS HOT TIP** This really isn't a hot tip, more of an annoyance that I have to express, but if you are into self edification you may enjoy this. People always seem to pronounce this as "FO," but it is really pronounced, "FUH." I feel much better now. read more

Tip: CASH ONLY. We ordered #5 & #6. The broth was perfect, the vegetables were fresh (bean sprouts and basil), and they were fast despite how busy they were. The iced coffee was good (although I didn't stir the sugar and cream that was on the bottom until the very end). The coffee itself is good and that's coming from a girl who usually loads her coffee with sugar. Definitely hits the spot after a long night out. read more

Fresh, copious toppings, flavorful broth, tender meat and delicate rice noodles are the perfect recipe for warmth on a chilly autumn evening. In this regard, Pho 75 knows how to deliver. I would order the Pho Nam again but after tasting my friends order, would not recommend the strange tasting meatballs. Next time I will try the chicken soup. I will easily recommend ordering the iced coffee. Just remember to mix the condensed cream and coffee in the server prior to pouring over ice! The waiting period for groups larger than 2 during the lunch or dinner rush can be lengthy, so be warned. On the plus side, the food comes out really quickly once your order is placed. read more

My takeout order didn't include any of the standard accommodate such as Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime, or onions. Too bad I didn't realize the mistake until I home. read more

Broth is to Pho what sauce is to spaghetti and when it comes to broth, Pho75 has the best, most flavorful i've tried. I am one of those Phomongers who fills his bowl full of Sriracha and whatever the brown sauce is - duck sauce? - so generally i'm not really tasting the broth anyhow, but this being my first time - the loss of my pho 75 phoginity, if you will - I opted to try the broth before injecting spice and I was amazed. The noodles here are also worth raving about, as they are more dense than at Nam Viet pho 79 in Woodley, where it's almost like eating spaghetti in broth with beef. The beef here is also very flavorful, tender, and they aren't stingy with it. To drink i had fresh lemonade that consisted of lemon juice and about 4 pounds of sugar. The one drawback, if you can call it that, is the decor. In a way, I like the simplicity of the place because you know they aren't ripping you off to pay for a fancy setup. That said, it's very mess hall/cafeteria-like and their dining utencils (spoons and chopsticks) rest in a stationary holder on the table, for anyone to touch. Upon first site I was a tad concerned by this, but then I thought to myself, "when you come into any restaurant the flatware is already on the table, this is no different, there are just more of them." I quickly forgot about this when I started eating my pho and realized it's the best there is. Will most definitely go back and I highly recommend Pho75! read more
