Bill for 2 - including cash discount and automatic gratuity.
Beth Ann M.

I hadn't been here since awhile before Covid, but stopped by with another couple to have lunch on a Sunday. Since our last visit, they have changed their setup. My understanding is that they have new management. So in the past, you'd go up to the counter and order from the menu, posted on the wall. Then you'd find a seat and take your "order number" with you to your seat. They have taken down the menu behind the counter and gone to full table service. They give you a pretty large menu to choose from and offer a wide number of options. The Pros: 1) The Pho is really delicious - one of my favorites in the area. Their broth is super rich. 2) You can order extra meat or veggies on the side. So many places don't offer extra veggies. 3) They give a cash discount The Cons: 1) Service serves you and then basically never comes by again. We were there for 2 hours and they checked on us once and never refilled our water or brought our bill, without asking 2) They totally messed up our bill and ended up giving us 35 dollars back that they didn't owe us. I had to go up to the counter and explain the error and she ran the bill again with the right total and change. I didn't want them to be short at the end of the day. 3) They add an automatic gratuity to the bill without telling you ahead of time. I asked why we were charged that and they said they do it to parties of 4 automatically. We were technically a party of four, but had separate bills. I probably won't go again for sit down service, as I'm not a fan of the changes, but I would consider doing take out Pho from here if I was in the area. Their prices, like everyone else, have gone up too, so it was $40 for 2, including their added tip and the 10% cash discount.

P3. Eye Round & Meatballs Pho
Alexus M.

Excellent flavor and portion size! I ordered eye round pho with meatballs from pho & grill and was pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely order again.

Beef Combination Pho & Grilled Pork Roll
Natasha S.

This review is based solely on delivery/take out. I had been to this location back in 2015 and the Olney location more recently pre-COVID and it was awful. I saw that this location was available through Doordash/Uber Eat early in the pandemic, and I refused to order from them. But after getting bored with all the options close by, and seeing that this location had better reviews - I decided to give them another try. TBH, I am so glad that I did. I had the combination beef pho (large) with no noodles. But I asked for extra bean sprouts (steamed) instead. Not only was the broth delicious, but the portion of meat was generous and they actually gave me EXTRA bean sprouts! I don't know how many times I've asked for this at other pho places, and it NEVER happens. So just for getting my order right - I was so happy! I also had the grilled pork roll which was delicious. Prices were reasonable. And they packed everything up nicely. I've been back a couple more times since, definitely a delivery favorite now!

Wow! I really like this Pho place! I didn't think I would! I literally have been dodging this spot because everyone else on Yelp was raving about the other Pho restaurants in the Gaithersburg/Rockville area. Location? It's right in a little shopping center with plenty of parking. It's next to the Crisp n Juicy, just in case you need a "landmark" lol Customer service was perfect! The young man named Chris assisted me over the phone and in person. I ordered a large Round eye steak bowl. Priced at 9.75 (average pricing for a bowl) Quality: Togo packaging was good! Everything was sealed. They gave everything, lime,sprouts,sauces,noodles,broth. They placed the meat in the container instead of inside the container like the other pho spots do. That's alright, not really a big deal. Portion size for the meat is SMALL! If your a guy and like it meaty? you will have to order double meat. I love how they cut the meat thin too! Broth? Reminds me of that pho place in the beer and wine store. Just a little salty. Pho Viet Saigon has the perfect recipe still. But!!! Pho and grill broth was enjoyable for sure!!! Only complaint. The noodles were somewhat hard to pull apart when I was putting my bowl together at home. The bottoms of the noodles were stuck to together and that was annoying. They should have cooled the noodles down first before packing away. Honestly! I will come here again in a case I don't feel like going to pho viet! Lol I might have to try their actual food because they sell more stuff besides soup.

P7. Customized Pho (Up to 4 protein toppings)
Kim T.

Very disappointed with the noodles portion for the large pho ($12.45) we ordered. It barely filled 1/3 of the to-go bowl. The meat portion was a little better. We liked that we got to choose our own 4 meat topping, but that's about it. The broth was okay, a little on the salty side. Only hoisin sauce and no sriracha sauce given. Overall, not a good first impression and we probably won't come back.

I was craving a good pho for lunch, as it had been so long since I had it. I used Yelp to help me…read morechoose where to go since I was in Gaithersburg for an appointment. Pho Nom Nom was close and had decent reviews so off I went. I walked into a pleasant, smallish restaurant with soothing decor. Several tables and booths were occupied, so I took that as a good sign that people liked the food. The server, Ben, was attentive and helped me choose a pho: slices of round steak and meatballs. I ordered a large bowl but should have gotten a small. A robot delivered my order to the table with the help of Ben, which was a hoot. I have to say that the scent of the broth hit my nose first and it was heavenly. The accompaniments of lime, basil, bean sprouts and jalapeno slices were very fresh. I added a few modest squirts of sriracha sauce and got to eating. The round steak was a nice surprise ... steak in pho can be very chewy and this bowl had decently tender slices. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the meatballs. They looked like half slices of a firm sausage (for comparison). They didn't taste bad, they just weren't my jam and I enjoyed the steak more. Next time I'd like to try the steak and brisket. Comfort food is filling so I took my leftovers home so I could have the pho for dinner (yay!). Of course, I had to end the meal with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Strong in the best way and not overly sweet, I took it to go and it gave me plenty of energy to finish my errands throughout the day.

Although the robot server freaks me out a bit, the human staff here are super friendly and helpful!…read moreOne gentleman actually came out and helped my mom into the restaurant when she was on a walker. I have not tried the pho here but I really enjoyed the bun rieu and the com tam plate my mom ordered. My bun rieu had an ample amount of good quality crab meatballs, fried tofu, shrimp cake, and pork blood. I added extra peppers and asked for a little extra shrimp paste for my soup but that's my preference. I got my fix without having to spend all day cooking or driving all the way to Eden Center. I had a bite of the grilled pork chop with rice which was delicious and the fish sauce was actually to my liking here! So glad they opened right in Gaithersburg so close to home.

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

Overall, if you would like to enjoy just a delicious food, this place is fine for you, but if you also want to get great atmosphere, this place might not yet.

Although the food may use higher-quality ingredients, everything was served in disposable paper bowls with plastic utensils, which made it feel more like a takeout restaurant than a sit-down dining experience.
