Like others have said the service isn't great at all. It's like one of those hole in the walls with terrible service but food is spot on. Also another downside was the cash only. But I'm giving it a 5 just simply bc the pho hits the spot and that's what I was looking for. read more

Delicious, warm and nourishing on a cold day. However, Vietnamese service style tends to be less proactive, more responsive which may come off as disrespectful but it's their culture. Most of the service staff doesn't speak English nor understands but generally helpful and will readily assist you when you ask for something. Cash only, no credit cards. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Menu as of Nov 9, 2025 - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

The food was fine, but it's hard to enjoy a meal when you're treated like an inconvenience. The man taking our order was rude and impatient, yet he switched to a friendly, polite demeanor for a white family that came in after us. Crazy to see the change in attitude. Noodles were well-cooked, but the broth wasn't that flavorful and some of the meat was tough. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - #15 - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

It's pretty cheap for a bowl, but it's also cash only and the amount of food (everything) in it is small in comparison to many other pho restaurants. Food comes out extremely fast though, and it does taste good. Service is below average but acceptable (eat, pay, leave). The inside is nothing to write home about - looks like a standard pho restaurant. read more

Food is always amazing here. I go for the OG #1 which has everything in it. Service is as you'd expect from a traditional Asian restaurant. No frills but the food comes out on time. Ambiance is an old authentic Asian pho restaurant. I frequent this place because their broth is A1. Highly recommend visiting this place. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Inside seating - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

** Ate on September 27, 2024 ** Food - I got the #6 (Tai, Nam, Gan) - Slices of eye-round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon regular bowl size. The portions were fairly sized and I liked the variety and amount of toppings that came with it (beansprouts, Thai basil, jalapeno peppers, and limes). In addition, there's self-service hoisin and sriracha and you can ask for little bowls to put your sauces in if you want to dip instead of mix the sauce into your broth. - However, the pho itself was pretty disappointing. The slices of meat had a freezer burn taste and the soup was not nearly hot enough to cook the meat all the way through, which may have led to the freezer burn taste. Service - A lot of other people have noted this already, but it's a cash only venue! - Service was fast and our food came out quickly. Service is pretty limited, it's self-seating and grab your own menu and once you finish eating, you walk up to the cashier area to pay. Ambiance - The restaurant feels a little outdated but simple with no frills. Overall, I was disappointed with the food and I would probably find a different local place to go to for pho. I am willing to give it another shot as it might be a one off, as I have tried the Falls Church location and the pho was great. read more

My favorite local Pho spot! Pho 75 has tasty, fresh ingredients that always leaving me craving more. The service is incredibly friendly and speedy. Once seated, you are given a menu and your order is given to you within minutes! My friend and I got Pho Tai, rare steak, and loaded our bowls with basil, bean sprouts, and jalapeños. Delicious broth, not too salty, and quality noodles. This bowl paired perfectly with our creamy and strong Vietnamese Iced Coffees. The ultimate combo! The ambiance is a classic mom and pop shop in the Elden Shopping Center - a spot that is very nostalgic for any of those from the area. This place has won the Washingtonian best cheap eats for a reason. These prices are such a steal for a quality meal! read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This is a no frill simple decor pho restaurant. Their pho is not on the sweet side. Not a lot of star anise or cinnamon. I must admit lately been hit or miss on flavor. Sometimes, I need to add fish sauce and other times just bland. Today, maybe the cold winter weather outside but flavor right on point. Nothing beats a good bowl of hot pho when it is cold outside. My favorite are #1, 2, 9 or 16. Once in a while, I also get their Cafe Su Da. That will complete your meal. If you are looking for spring rolls or other appetizers, there are none. This is not the Vietnamese pho restaurant for you. However, if you do not eat beef and want to try chicken pho, Pho75 chicken pho is made with chicken stock. You sit at any table and they come and take your order. Your soup comes to your table and you pay CASH only at the counter. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - #2 combination large. - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This is a restaurant with where you grab your own menu and have to pay at the counter after the meal with cash only. Which is totally fine if the taste is typical of other pho restaurants. The portions were ok, but in terms of taste, this is literally the worst pho restaurant I have ever tasted by far. At every pho restaurant, you expect a baseline quality in the soup. But the soup at this restaurant was bland and you had to add the hot sauce to made it just acceptable. The meat was also very flavorless. Furthermore, when I requested 5 waters during ordering for my party of 5, the server had an attitude and asked "5??" I found it extremely rude as its not like they are serving complimentary filtered or sparkling water. I am amazed how this restaurant manages to remain in business with such horrible pho when there are many flavorful and great pho restaurants in the surrounding area. read more

Pho was probably the worst I've had in the DMV area. It was lacking in flavor and watered down. The portion sizes are also much smaller compared to other restauraunts. Customer service was rude - asked a server for a straw for the coconut drink I ordered and she rolled her eyes and told me that they don't hand out additional straws (I also had a glass of water). When I tried to kindly tell her never mind then, she rolled her eyes again and walked away while I was talking. read more

Always been one of my favorite phở place to go in the area. The broth is always perfect and they give plenty of proteins. This place had been around forever and always have seating and the staff are very seasonsed, they are older gentlemen that are super sweet. This place opens early as well, they open at 9 AM so perfect for hungover meal before going to work if you work on sunday. Plenty of room and clean place. Cons: They only take cash so be sure to bring some cash if you don't want to have to pay the ATM fee! read more

When the weather turns chill, or even when it is still warm out, sometimes a great bowl of noodle soup hits the spot.  When that craving strikes, we head out to Pho 75 for a large #12.  You can smell the fragrant broth the moment you step inside to this simple and clean longtime restaurant.  Each bowl of soup is accompanied by a shared plate of add ins, including basil, jalapeno, lime and bean sprouts that you can add as you wish.  There are also a couple of sauces on each table to customize your pho.  The service is quick and friendly and the meal is always satisfying.  The iced Vietnamese coffee and the fresh lemonade are also tasty.  Parking is very easy in the big lot. Note that the restaurant is cash only. read more

Typical Vietnamese place with some yummy eats. There two sizes for the pho and I had got the small! It was filling enough but I'd say a large wouldve been too much for me. Broth was yummy and they gave us lots of pickled onions which I loved. If this place was closer to me I'd go pretty often! Also CASH ONLY! read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I feel like I am more critical when it comes to pho and Pho 75 is the only place that I like thus far. I have been coming here since I was a kid (about 20 years). It is a no frills type restaurant that is cash only. I wasn't aware of the mandatory tip but now that I think about it my total did seem high for one person. I'll be more aware and most likely will go to another location. Regardless, the pho is flavorful, hearty, and comes out pipping hot. In my opinion no need for large amount of hoisin or sriracha sauce as the broth is already quite flavorful. My favorite are the meatballs and I love to load up on those! read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I recently tried Pho75 to-go while sick. I tried the chicken pho and the portion size was quite large for me. The chicken comes with broth, sprouts, jalapeños, hoisin and siracha sauce and Thai basil. The noodles and chicken come separate from the toppings and so does the soup which made traveling quite easy. However, my broth did spill quite a bit in the bag but luckily not all over my car. The chicken itself was quite dry and all white meat. Even with the broth it made it very hard to enjoy because it was just sucked dry. The noodles were a bit overcooked and became gummy by the time I was halfway done with my meal. The flavor of the broth itself is not overpowering and did not have as much depth of flavor as I was expecting. They do offer hoisin and siracha sauce on the side which helped some, but not significantly. Overall this is pho in a pinch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. The chicken definitely needs some TLC and shouldn't be so dry it's inedible...so hopefully they'll take that constructive feedback for others. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening, and it was pretty empty (which is to be expected since it is a weekday). The pho here is pretty amazing to be quite honest, and I am from the 626 CA area where there are a lot of amazing pho places. I was pleasantly surprised about the meat to noodle ratio, and the meat was tender and was not tough at all. The tripe was also delightful in terms of texture and the broth was seasoned well. Also, the food came out in a timely manner and service was quick. However, don't bother getting the soy milk; I was under the impression that it was made in the store, but it just came from a can. Especially for the price, I will definitely come back in the future! Cash only also so make sure to bring enough! read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - 7. - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

if i could give 0 stars here i would worst customer service. they didn't give us a menu nor a high chair for a baby he told me to get it myself while holding the baby. when asked for what we want we're like you didn't even give us a menu and he points the menu to some hanging shelf as if we knew where customers are supposed to get it. pho 75 in falls church at least gives you the menu to sit down. lastly im trying to feed my child and he tells us we need to move yet he told us to sit us there. it is not a customer friendly place to begin with and not a child friendly place either. close this shitty run down waste of a space. ultimately told them to cancel my order and we left because im not going to give my business when you arent even child friendly or even giving us a menu and expecting us to know how you operate here. Why do people even bother tipping these assholes when they don't even do anything besides bring out the food. You literally have to tell them bring you water or else they wont bring it. Again this is not a culture this is just lack of customer service. Why do i need to bring a highchair from your back storage area? and these assholes want a "tip" please. They are all piece of shits i don't care what anyone else thinks. Im Viet too and disagree it being a culture aspect. If people are saying it's the culture that's complete bs, culture does not mean being rude or disrespectful, they are only surviving because of their other locations is carrying this heavy dead weight of a restaurant so i would highly recommend to stop supporting businesses like this if they cant even do a simple job as bringing a menu. read more

They should take the great name of pho 75 off of this one. Soup taste like the noodles were boiled in non fresh water. And then the kicker. I asked for extra jalapeños and they charged me!! read more

The pho here tastes very good, and so does the Vietnamese coffee. Also, they take cash only, which I think gives this place a very nice and unique charm. I had the Vietnamese coffee with sweet condensed milk, as well as pho (Number 12 - Tai, Chin - Eye of round steak, well-done brisket). The prices are also reasonable and the food is authentic! It is a simple place, but that is part of what makes it great. read more

If you've been to any Pho 75 (I have officially now been to all locations, after hitting this one up near my hotel), then you'll know exactly what you're getting here. Absolutely delicious pho with fantastic broth and high quality meat. You're also going to get the same menu that all us regulars know of ... all pho, no appetizers and a few desserts with the usual list of Vietnamese drinks. Now if you've never been to Pho 75 (especially back in the day when they predated so many of the restaurants now all over the NOVA area) ... you'll likely feel like you're getting the shaft when it comes to appetizers ... and probably going to feel a bit hungry unless you double down on the noodles or protein. However, thinking within the framework of their menu, their pho is still top notch. I've been to so many pho joints here over the decades that I've seen many places lose their mojo/quality over time. Pho 75 is still one of the most consistent places I've ever been to. I just treat it as a place where I go for a quick lunch and don't expect to pack my stomach. This is what you get - great pho in a cafeteria setting with brusque service and a clear demand for cash only payments. But it's worth it. If you're an eater who loves to eat a ton of food, don't eat here. You'll never be happy with the portions even if it's on the cheap side. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Pho 75 is literally just about Pho and nothing else. No appetizers. No other entrees. Just Pho. Given this I was expecting to be blown away, yet I sadly wasn't, and while the pho was good, I've had better. My meal: went w the Pho Tai Gau and it was filled with tons of tender meat and noodles, yet the broth while tasty, was a little under salted for my liking, however once I jazzed it up a bit with sriracha and a bit of salt it was perfect. The portion size for the price was great though. All in all if I'm in this shopping plaza again and in the mood for pho I'd have it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way just to visit the establishment when I'm craving pho. read more

From the moment our family walked in I was immediately frustrated by how unwelcoming and disorganized this restaurant was. There was only one person working and he didn't greet us, just pointed randomly at a table like we were supposed to know where to sit. He didn't give us menus and immediately asked if we were ready to order with attitude. When we said "How can we order, we haven't gotten the menus yet?" he pointed at the shelf, smacked the menus, and walked away leaving me to grab one myself while taking care of our toddler. He never asked if we needed a high chair, we had to ask and my husband had to get it. When my husband told him we were ready to order, he noticed I was sitting near the end of the table and yelled that I wasn't supposed to sit there even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Don't you dare tell me to move when I'm just trying to feed my baby. Any parent with a toddler would understand how stressful it is to manage seating, food, and a baby all at once. After all the attitude, poor service and complete lack of understanding for parents we canceled our order and left. This was hands-down one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Do not support this business. Not only is the service terrible but he has zero consideration for families or basic courtesy. Avoid this place. read more

Probably my favorite pho place around. Consistently good food that is fast to arrive. My only real complaint is that they're still cash only in 2025, unlike the surrounding pho restaurants. read more

Food was authentic as it can be! We enjoyed every bite we took. A must is to get the vinegar onions! Mix with hoisin sauce and siracha to add on top of each bite to get the perfect combo. Just a solid pho restaurant that's affordable and good! read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Pho Chicken with onions - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

While I was in the area I got several orders of chicken pho to bring home for the family for dinner....service was great! The lady working up front was helpful and spoke great English, so ordering wasn't an issue. She assured me that the pho I ordered would make my long trip (about an hour and a half) home. They packed my broths in those excellent, restaurant plastic quart containers with the secure lids and then put that in a box to ensure they wouldn't pop open. Also, they packed the chicken and noodles and onions in a Chinese style take out box and the accoutrements was packed in a separated baggy - so the hot stayed separate from the cold - VERY NICE!!! Once I got home and it was dinner time, we heated up the broth and poured it over the cold chicken - it heated up perfectly and everything tasted GREAT! Really good broth!! The veggies were fresh and tasty too!!! Overall, we really enjoyed this pho and would definitely return! *** It should be noted that they're CASH ONLY!!!*** read more

I had mixed feelings about this place as soon as we walked in. You are immediately greeted by a hand written sign that states "Cash Only" and then could basically walk right into the off-brand ATM that of course charges a fee. Nonetheless, the aroma of the Pho broth once you open the door is amazing! I reluctantly pulled out cash from the ATM and sat down with my family of 5. The menu is small and straight to the point - pho and beverages only. The other Vietnamese fair. Which is totally fine, in my opinion. We ordered three of their pho bowls. All were "regular" size and were excellent sized portions. You can upsize to a large for a $1 more but I don't find this necessary at all. My kids loved the chicken pho, or, chicken noodle soup. They enjoyed the taste and slurped up the whole bowl. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. A must whenever you find this available on a menu. Service was quick, just like a pho restaurant should be. Overall, really great place and we will be returning. The only reason that I didn't give it a 5th star was for the cash only approach and the kind of "divey" vibe of the place. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Pho - #7 - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I suppose another review 20 years after my first one isn't overdoing things. I was a regular at the Graham Road (Falls Church) site until the Herndon restaurant opened, and I've been a regular there since 2004. In fact, the staff knows me and my order (#12 large, raw meat, green onions in oil) so all I have to do is walk in, go to a table and sit down. Moments later, my meal is place in front of me. The consistency of the soup is remarkable. A recent shortage of peppers caused them to find an alternative to the Huy Fong Sriracha, and amazingly enough, they did! Over the years they've added small features (a bell that rings when the door is opened, an ATM machine - this is a cash-only place!), and yet they've held price remarkably well. Sure, they've had to raise their prices over 20 years, but when compared to other restaurants, this is still probably one of the cheapest, tastiest meals around! Pho 75 doesn't waste time on flowers, place settings and ambiance. Nor should they. This is a pho soup-only communal eatery. If it weren't for the many Washingtonian Best Of awards hanging on the walls (you have to go to multiple locations to see them all), you might pass by, thinking that it looks like a hole-in-the-wall. You'd be passing up on one of the truly phenomenal dishes in the entire Northern Virginia area! read more

Good Pho, better broth then any of the other Pho 75's in NOVA. However, the server (chubby dude) this last time I came was rude and quite not "mentally" there. He walks away after taking my order, while the other person I was with hadn't ordered yet. I'm like dude, she wants to eat too man. He then made some snarky comment trying to be funny. read more

The menu prices are intentionally wrong. They charge a mandatory 20% tip to your order and have to be pressured to admit it that it is a tip. They should just raise their menu prices instead of deceiving and defrauding their customers. Eat somewhere else that is honest. read more

We went to Pho 75 at 382 Elden Street, Herndon today. My son asked the guy who took care of our orders (he could be the manager or waiter) an extra piece of lemon. The guy said "Oh, it will be an extra charge for an extra piece of lemon." When I paid, he charged $1 for a piece of lemon. What a rip off and cheap restaurant. They only accept cash, we all know why ??? read more

Don't come here. They try to illegally add mandatory tips and then lie about it. Make sure you ask for an itemized receipt to see what you're paying for. read more

The atmosphere today is somewhat pleasant. Came in on a cold spring day for some Pho and it was not hot enough. We had three types for the 3 of us, the B1 which is round of eye steak, the steak and brisket B3 and the B5 which is fatty brisket and steak. The service is quick which is always a welcome surprise when hungry. The soup really could have been hotter as in heat hot! The fatty brisket was overdone but the steak was fine. Will probably be back since we are often in this area. read more

Pho 75 Restaurant - Leftovers lol. Pho can and this is all that's left. Slices of Eye - Round Steak Adn Fat Brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Alright, first up, Pho 75 is a branch but each place does it a little different. This place I'd say is more similar to the one in Arlington than to the one off Graham road. I get the number one with an iced coffee. The broth is a little on the light side but pretty good. The amount of food you get is pretty comparable, but the prices are a bit on the higher side compared to what I remember them to being. If you're getting take out, ALWAYS ASK FOR THE NOODLES UNCOOKED. When I got them cooked. It was mush and all falling apart (no long noodles pieces) Overall, I think it's a solid 4 out of 5. read more

I have been going to 75 all over DMV for the last 25 years, when it was good ole $5.99!! Today I felt like having an ho and I went to 75 in Herndon and ordered large everything. There was no tripe, no meatball, and the rest of the protein was minimal. I tell the server and he shrugs it off as everything you get a little of everything!!!! So disappointed read more

I've been coming here for over 8 years now. The broth is clean and always fresh and fast service. This is the best pho I've had.

The Pho was excellent, served super hot and with the right amount of rice noodles and beef with tripe. The taste of the both was superb! I rate this restaurant high on my list of down home soups to go to, you won't be disappointed! read more

The Pho train rides again... this time to what Pho enthusiasts would say is the most authentic Pho joint you can get, Pho 75, a cash only Pho restaurant in Herndon, VA. For all the hype this restaurant gets, I really think it is what it is. The prices are fair for what you get, and the service is pretty good too. I got my Pho maybe 15 seconds after ordering. That is impressive. So why only 3 stars? The portions could have been a lot bigger. Yes, you get a nice amount of meat, but little amount of noodle. Go crazy on the noodles! I am not one to complain about large portions. In fact, the larger the better. Just as I was enjoying it, all the noodles were gone and I left left with just broth and bean sprouts. Pho-oey. I also felt shortchanged in the meat variety. I like a Pho with several types of meat. It changes the texture up and makes it more fun to eat. Instead, I got the same brisket over and over again. While it tasted great, I would have liked some meatball in there just to change it up a bit. I also did not notice dipping plates (I had to ask the server for one). Yes, I am one of those people who likes to dip the meat and noodles into some sriracha/hoisin sauce to liven up the Pho. It also makes it more fun to eat. If you are looking for a basic Pho, at a reasonable price, this is okay. Otherwise, go further up the road to Pho Dulles 75. The portion is bigger and you get more meat and noodles to make it a more pho-nomenal experience. read more

I love this place. We are talking basic decor and cash only. They have an ATM in the restaurant which is interesting. No spring or summer rolls. Pho is really good and a reasonable price.
