    Pho
    David C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    #6 Tai, Nam, Gan      Slices of Eye-Round Steak and Soft Tendon
    Grace W.

    ** 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 Ambiance - The restaurant feels a little outdated but simple with no frills.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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

And let's say we were not disappointed, tucked away in a shopping is a gem of place, walking into this place was presently surprised with the clean and modern vibe which is awesome So good job ! Now food ... Oh damn all of it was fresh ingredients and packed full of flavor. Homemade Nem Noung Coung was delicious and the dipping sauce for it was onpoint ... it had a nice peppery flavor to it which was a pleasant surprise and did well . The coriander chicken salad was fresh and on point .. fresh herbs makes the dish. Bo ne was full of tender cubes of steak and fresh pate so good .. Scallion noodles and lobster delicious ! Service was on point and very attentive aswell.. Definitely would recommend this place and come back when I'm in town!

Nothing exceptional but good quality, good food And a fair amount of steak in mine for $16. I wish I could say the same about the service or lack there of provided by the two young female servers. For starters, they have zero communication skills. They drop things at the table and just stand there without a word. I did not receive the Vietnamese coffee that I ordered until I asked for it nor was I asked whether or not I wanted it with whipped cream - there's was no description on the menu so I wasn't aware it came with whipped cream. When we placed our order we asked for extra cilantro and received no cilantro at all. Once the runner delivered our food no one came over to ask how everything had turned out, if we needed anything else etc. The lack of communication, lack of attention to detail and quite frankly complete lack of personality turned a pleasant afternoon meal into a disappointment. It's a shame because I saw several other things on the menu that I'd like to try but I'm not interested in being in that unpleasant atmosphere again

After seeing that Pho Duong was getting good reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were here on a Sunday around 4:30. That was a good time to go as there were only two occupied tables at the time. When we entered, an employee was eating his meal. He told us to pick any table we wanted. After doing so, he gave us menus plus a carafe of iced tap water, which we appreciated. I ordered a small bowl of pho ga with white meat chicken, and my husband ordered a large bowl of pho with seafood. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. It was piping hot and accompanied by aromatics consisting of bean sprouts, fresh mint, lime wedges, and sliced fresh jalapeños. As for the food, we both liked the beef broth. My bowl had some large shredded pieces as well as smaller pieces of chicken. The larger ones were on the dry side, but the broth helped by adding moisture. My husband's large bowl had a good number of shrimps as well as seafood, which he couldn't identify. He showed me one piece that looked like a scallop to him, but he said it didn't taste like one. I also thought, from what he showed me, there was some squid in the bowl. Service was excellent from start to finish. When it's time to pay, you go to the counter, and an employee will ring you up. The place was kept very clean. While the decor is spare, it gives off the vibe of a good spot to enjoy a meal. And, yes, next time we want pho, this is where we'll go.
