I wasn't feeling the greatest and was craving something warm, so I decided to try Pho D'Lite. The atmosphere is a little dated, but still comfortable overall. I went with the P1, which the server mentioned is a popular choice. The dish came out surprisingly fast and was solid--while I've definitely had better pho elsewhere, this spot is convenient and hits the spot when you need something comforting. I also tried the jasmine tea with honey, and that was the highlight--absolutely amazing. The service was excellent as well. My server was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made the experience better, so she definitely earned a full tip. I'd come back again whenever I'm in the mood for that warm, "hug in a bowl" type of meal. read more

Pho D'lite - Vietnamese Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

This was a solid, up and down culinary experience. The establishment itself looks nice inside except for the ripped up booth seats. They are very bad and in need of repair/replacement. It definitely would not make me want to eat in. I tried several dishes. The chicken Pad Thai was okay, and it was plentiful. While I have had better, I appreciated the nice portion size, I also tried the V1 vermicelli special (pork and shrimp) . The tail lwas eft on the shrimp, which is something I don't enjoy when I'd rather eat my food with utensils instead of my fingers. I was also disappointed that they only gave 2 pieces of shrimp. The pork strips in the dish were quite flavorful and tasty, this was what made the fish above average, especially considering the shrimp limitations as well as the bland pasta. I also tried the butter wings. While the wings were a bit tough they had a nice butter flavor that I truly enjoyed. Another positive was the friendly staff. A decent place overall that I may revisit, and with a bit more execution it would easily be a 4 star restaurant to me. read more

I've tried this place a couple of times and I have been nothing short disappointed. It is dirty, there are roaches that I have seen... It's just not a place that I would go to again. I don't know how this place is still open. read more

Not sure why this place is giving 3 stars. The hunnie decided we stop here because I've been a bit under the weather & some soup is just what I needed. This place was packed and we were greeted with a smile and welcomed by the cashier taking orders. She was patient, friendly and very helpful. I ordered my summer rolls and shrimp pho with no bean sprouts and i thought it would've come with carrots and broccoli however their veggie options are boc choy and mushrooms. So extra onions and cilantro it is and my other half he ordered the beef vermicellis dish. We got our food to go and the flavor of my soup was really good. No complaints from me. If we're ever in the neighborhood again I would certainly venture back here if I'm craving pho. Give this place a try! Happy Yelping! read more

The broth in this pho is absolutely incredible--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a delicate touch. I tried the pho ga, which is made with tender chicken, and it came with all the classic fixings like noodles, fresh mint, and crunchy bean sprouts. As a pho lover, this dish did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and satisfying, I could easily eat it every day! It's comfort food at its best. read more

Pho D'lite - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I like the food here and I always tip at least 10% for carry out. Today my order was $17, l left a $2.20 tip and I asked for an extra fish sauce. The lady said it was .85, I sad I just left you a $2+ dollar tip, then I said never mind and walked out. The reason for this review is to let you know, from now on I will not tip on carry out service, I will pay the .85 for the food xtra fish sauce and keep the rest of my tip, since I'm not appreciated. read more

First, I would like to say I love this establishment. I spend a lot of money here. The food is delicious. My only problem is due to my work schedule. I have to order my meal around 815pm. The store closes at 9pm. The concern is I work a 12 plus hour shifts and I tried to place my order before I come into Waldorf but I've noticed that whoever is working at the front register. Leaves the phone line open so you can't place an order and have to come into the store to place the order. It's a huge inconvenience because now I have to wait an additional 15-20 min for my food after working a long shift. This has happened to me on several occasions. I think the owner needs to be aware of this problem. I also mentioned it to the young lady at the register. She grabbed the phone and then turn it off because the line was open. I went back to my car called at 830pm and was able to finally get through the line. The owner is losing money this way because a few times I just didn't spend my money because I did not want to wait when this establishment allows you to place an order ahead of time. Until this issue is resolved. I will not be spending my money at this location. It seems like they try to control the orders toward the end of their shift so people have to come in to place the order. Maybe the owner should take away from their pay because they aren't working the entire shift. All chairs are up in the store at 8pm as well forcing you to leave after your purchase. The store closes at 9pm. I'm asking the owner to review and address this matter. read more

Now I get why they call It D'lite because that's what it was, DEEEEEEE-LIGHTFUL!!! Took my Son and daughter as first timers last week and we were MORE than satisfied! My son took his girlfriend a couple days later. Trust when I say my whole family and I are foodies at heart and will say when food or beverage isn't good or well seasoned! Good food ohhhh almost forgot the price was right! In my Arnold Terminator voice impression, "I'll be back!" :) read more

Best pho place in Waldorf !! Always good customer service , good food , no complaints.

Broth is delicious and makes the perfect leftover reheat. I was not sure I would like it at first but it was delicious. I would 100% recommend this place for DoorDash or dine in. read more

I ordered takeout from Pho D'Lite in Waldorf, MD, and was completely shocked by the service I received. When I arrived to pick up my order, I asked the associate at the counter for a small empty container so I could use the hoisin sauce that's available at the dine-in tables. She told me I would have to pay extra just for the container. I explained that I didn't need the container if I could just pour the sauce directly on my food like any dine-in customer would, but she still refused and insisted I had to pay. Let's be clear: the hoisin sauce is already freely available at the tables for customers eating in. There is no logical reason why a paying customer picking up food to-go should be treated any differently. We're all paying customers. Because of this ridiculous and petty policy, I gave the food back and demanded a refund. The Black associate at the counter was rude and dismissive, and the Latina woman who claimed she's "sometimes the manager" handled the situation poorly, offering no real solution and no sense of customer care. This experience was beyond frustrating. It's not about the sauce or the container, it's about how poorly they treat their customers. I will never return to this location and would strongly encourage others to think twice before giving them your money. There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants nearby that actually understand customer service. read more

I was glad when I found a Pho place close to where I was working nights. Imagine my surprise when this place ranked up with my favorite Pho place in Beltsville, MD. The waitress remembered me the second time I came in and was very attentive. I ordered the beef Pho with well done and fat brisket. Loved it! read more

Best pho anywhere. I came all the way from California just to eat it. The broth is rich and flavorful, the meat is always tender, and the portions are generous. Worth every mile. read more

Very good food and service. Been there a few times in the past years, and no complaints.

This is one of my favorite spots in Waldorf! The bamboo décor and self seating let you know this place is about the food. You won't wait long for someone to bring your ice water and ask for your order. Spoons and chopsticks are the default, forks are offered. Pho Creation is my go to. It's a fulsome meal anyway you order and the garnish is always fresh and beautiful. Another nuance of the dish is that it gets spicer as you get to the bottom of the bowl. There is a delightful tipping point when you sinuses begin to open up. Stop here to clear your pallet, call you mom, or write a review. The best kept secret are the Crispy Butter Wings. Easily a 9, akin to America's best and superior in the garlic flavor and aroma. While prices are creeping up a bit, it's an inexpensive dine out option tucked into a part of the plaza that sees less traffic. Come find it! read more

Service was slow. the pho was very salty, you could taste the food wasn't fresh. Won't be returning

Service is slow if you're black. Took forever to get a menu, server didn't even ask if we wanted a drink. Tried to get attention and was ignored by one server and told one sec by another. As soon as a white family sat down after we've already been there 15 mins w no service, they quickly got their menus and asked what drinks they'd like. Smh I immediately left after that! Don't plan on visiting again. Sad because I enjoyed this spot as a takeout option read more

So I have had pho from this place a total of 4 times and it's a 50/50. The first time I had for myself it was, "ehh,' it'll do for now kind of taste. The 2nd time my wife and I had it and it was pretty good, the broth was on point! The third time, it was really good!, Then today, it was lacking that rich, savory and slight sweet flavor to it. We went there for lunch on my day off, myself the wife and our 5 year old little girl. they do not have a kids size meal there so it is all adult sizes. We ordered 3 of the Pho D'lite Soup, which is the beef works. It has the thinly sliced eye of round, lean brisket, fatty brisket, tendon, and tripe. And we also had 1 order of summer rolls. The summer rolls were lacking a bit in volume and then in flavor. The ones we had were more stuffed with lettuce than noodles and about one shrimp sliced down the middle into two. Every place that I have been to and also learned with summer rolls is that it should have about a 70/30 noodles to lettuce ratio. Also the size of it was lacking a bit, they were just double the size of lumpia. If you don't know what lumpia is, I advise you too look it up and know that it is very delicious. Going back to the summer rolls, they should be the size of 1 1/2 egg rolls and have three shrimp in them. Also the dipping sauce is usually the creamy brown peanut sauce, but I prefer the squeeze bottle of Sriracha. Now onto the main attraction, the pho noodles. Starting with the broth, when we sat in the restaurant it was full of that rich, savory and lightly sweet flavor. When I brought it home today, it was lacking the rich and savory, but it had some bland sweetness to it. I had to add some ginger and Chinese five spice from my cupboard to give it some life. I know we all have off days, but I gave this one 4 chances to have a winning record in my book. 50/50 isn't winning, it's just being ok with what you got in my book. The amount of noodles were also a bit lacking, not by a lot though. It's enough to almost get you full, so I usually get an extra order of noodles. When our bowls came out they came with the raw uncooked meats and fresh vegetables, if you didn't already know. The meats were a decent small amount, smelled fresh and not frozen looking. The vegetables were comprised of bean sprouts, thinly sliced jalapeños, fresh basil with the stem attached, thinly sliced onions, green onions and some cilantro. The food was hitting the spot at the restaurant, but at home not so much like I said before. So I had to come to realize that depending on the day and also the time is when you will get a different flavor or feel of the food. Don't get me wrong this place is still decent, just hasn't shown me good consistency. Think about when places you eat at are better at different times of the day, remember that whenever you order food. I've learned that at this point. The service is always great there, when I pick up my food and when I order my food for pick up. Our waitress that day was very attentive, the inside wasn't busy at all for lunch during the weekday. I don't know about weekends at night, so keep that in mind as well. Customer service was great and that is one my big non negotiable about a restaurant. The customer service is always the first thing you really notice when get a good feel for a place. Because places that look like a mess can have some of the best food, you know I'm right! The ambiance inside is reminiscent of a mom and pops feels that doesn't do too much and does more than a little. The bamboo was a good touch, gave it an asian feel to it along with the leaves. I'm part Okinawa, so please don't judge me or say im being offensive when I say that. So take this as my experience with Pho D'lite and of course make your own judgement on this establishment. And always enjoy your bites! read more

I'm spoiled by my favorite spot, but tried to see if this was an option for when i had a hankering when in Waldorf. Their broth lacks that rich Pho flavor. They are not generous with their meats. I love summer roles, so I got two orders. They were so bland that the peanut/hoisin sauce did not help. I tell everyone to have their own experience, but I don't plan to go back and would not recommend it. read more

The place looks run down! the food was okay I had the chicken pho and it lacked flavor! The service was good but the panang curry was horrible! DO NOT order. read more

Got takeout didn't know the meat would be raw , had to heat up broth again when I got home to cook eat

I always get the shrimp pho when I'm not feeling well or just want something warm. It's super good every time

Welp, Yelp! I found this great little jewel by happenstance! I'm a Pho connoisseur of sorts, and THIS Pho was delicious! The broth was a tad sweeter than we prefer, but all the other herbaceous and spicy notes came through nicely. The meat was perfectly sliced and tender. We also ordered the Penang curry with pork, and it was scrumptious!! Some of the best we've had since being in Bangkok. The prices are reasonable too, so it won't break the bank to visit frequently. Why not 5 stars? Well, the portion sizes left us wanting. They are definitely one meal size, and you won't be stuffed. That's a bummer. We'd visit again. Glad we found it. read more

We've been coming to this place for more than 2 years. This place is nothing fancy but serves amazing food! The servers are always welcoming, and attentive. read more

Fyi they don't open till 11. This is the only local place I know that has Pho. The decor is a little tired but the food is consistently good. Staff is always friendly. They need to get rid of hand written notes all over the place. I prefer to pick it up and take it home to eat rather than sit in the oddly decorated restaurant. read more

I have been dining at Pho D'lite for years and I have never done a review. Well, today I felt the need to because my shrimp pho was absolutely delightful! Now yes, I'm laid up due to dental surgery...but this pho never disappoints! The broth was flavorful. The shrimp were nice & plump (pause) and my extra basil was present. Once I cut up the condiments and shrimp, I added them to a bowl which contained my warm noodles. I added the broth and I was in pho heaven!! read more

I came here against bad Yelp reviews. Terrible service. The food was just okay. I've been to many Pho restaurants and this was by far the worse. I ordered the Pho Noodle Soup Plain and my dining partner ordered a Pho Noodle Shrimp. We waited about 15 min for his but after 30 minutes mine never came. How his came out before mine was mind blowing however once other customers got served prior to me that came in 20 minutes after us. I told the waiter to cancel the order and close us out. I will never come back to this restaurant and wouldn't recommend. Soup 2/5 Garlic Butter Wings 0/5 (no flavor and over fried) Spring Rolls: 3/5 Ice Tea 1/5 read more

I loved the food there and the restaurant is very nice and warm. The staff was incredible and very welcoming and the food was amazing! I ordered the pad Thai and I got it back pretty fast and didn't have to wait that long! It tasted amazing so overall I would give this restaurant a 9/10! read more

Always fresh, warm, hot and on time. Never a complaint from my family regarding food or service. A solid order to go choice.

Food is good. Service is such trash, really wish there was another pho spot nearby so I can stop spending my money here. Please be better.

This restaurant serves up the best Pho in all of Charles county and surrounding counties. Fortunately it's close to where I frequent other establishments in the area so convenience is key. Speaking of convenience, their hours and prices are reasonable. The last time I went a couple weeks ago I selected the #1 combo which I believe is the most common selection. Their delicious pho is much needed during these cold winter months and I'm grateful they have been in business for the past 3 - 4 years since I've been going. read more

Pho D'lite - P1. Pho D'lite Soup (Tai, Nam Gau, Sach) - Vietnamese Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

Where should I start...This place isn't good. Service wasn't bad, but seems unfriendly to us. Place looks like need a renewal or maintenance at least. It is clean but has wear and tear starting from the floor and up to the tables and chairs. But okay, restaurant is about the food, not the great view. And here if you are looking for the authentic food you should look for another place. Food here has some flavor, not authentic but deserve some points, food was okay. We ordered Pho chicken, Pho soup and Pho noodle. Was cooked good, with some not bad seasoning. Unfortunately not the place we would come back again. read more

Terrible service! What a sad sad sad low life attitude to even be a server. Been going there quite often for the past 6 years. Kept putting up with it because the food isn't bad. But the other day was my last visit. SMH HOW SAD!! The first couple of years was great but after the "original crews" left everything went down hill from there....! read more

Absolutely delicious. I don't understand why this place only has 3 stars. It should have 4.5 - 5 stars. The place is always filled with customers, so it's obvious the food is good. The servers are very friendly, service is fast, prices are good. This is my second time here. First time I got carry out, delicious and satisfying. Second time I did dine-in, even more delicious and satisfying. What I love about this place is that they have veggie/vegan pho option, loaded with fried tofu, mushrooms, and bok choy I can't get enough of it!! Other pho places I have been to offer broth and noodle option only, but even the broth is not vegetarian/vegan. So I was so happy to see that this place has a veggie broth option. read more

Pho D'lite - Veggie Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

This review is for before Covid, I haven't been since last year so any thing they may do differently now I'm unaware of. This place is okay, not the worst not the best. I have actually never been without using a Groupon (that I think they stopped doing). So for that price it's not bad. The Pho is good, nice and filling. Thai tea is good, too anything else I've had I honestly couldn't remember whether it was good or not. I just come for the Pho. The restaurant itself never seemed that clean, tables often left for a while before being cleaned or trash on the floor. Walk in and seat yourself, which a sign on a piece of paper reads. Also noticed that everyone working ( besides cooks maybe) was usually a teenager and pretty much each time I came it was new faces. Guess it's just an easy job for high school/college kids. But with that you get what you get, some people just want the paycheck and don't care much for the job. I was told by a friend that if it's a Groupon for Pho it's most likely not going to be the best/authentic. So if you're looking for a quick pretty cheap meal no frills this is great but if you want some 5 star Pho and a more welcoming environment I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

I am only putting a 1 because we had a bad experience here. The owner is a jerk and yelled at my friend and I because our order took 45 minutes getting to our table. I have been coming to this restaurant for 2 months since we moved here and never have I been treated so disrespectful. The food is amazing but the place needs new management and that owner needs to find a new career. read more
