Nice Pho place on Florida Ave I liked my pho with lemon grass and sate. The summer rolls were not my favorite had too much lettuce and not enough other fillings so it tasted bland to me. The pho was nice and fresh tasting having great flavor balanced with the heat of the chilly oil sauce. The beef slices tasted good nice and tender. Service was ok didn't refill our water or check on the food. Inside thry have tvs but this a no frills pho place which gives great tasting pho. read more

I happened to walk by this Pho restaurant so stopped in to give it a try. This was one of the only restuarants in this area that was open so I was glad since another Pho restuarant I wanted to try was closed until dinner. The menu selection is good here, and I just ordered Pho with sliced beef. The size was good and it had more beef and noodles in it than I expected so I was very pleased. Overall, the staff was friendly, food came out fast, dine in area nice and clean, and price decent. My experience was very good. read more

Dare I say it but I think I found the best pho in DC?! I was craving pho on a rainy weekday and decided to look on yelp for recommendations. This place kept coming up and I was confused because I've never heard of it but decided to give it a try. While pulling up, I realized that I've driven/or walked past this place for YEARS. The outside is nothing to speak of, especially being on U St. honestly, I didn't even know if it was still open based on the exterior but when you walk in, it's like stepping into a different world. The place is nicely decorated inside and very clean. It's surprisingly pretty spacious for its location. I ordered the Pho 5 which comes and Thai iced tea with boba. The waitress took our orders fast and before we knew it, our pho came out. On the first taste, the broth was delicious. We had a moment where we both looked up at each other with genuine shock because we were underestimating the place. The meats were tender and of good quality. The Thai iced tea was also delicious but I would recommend without the boba because it just lacked flavor. Overall, this place is definitely a "don't judge a book by its cover" sleeper pho spot but it's delicious!! Planning to come back here many more times! read more

Great pho in town. Rich broth with plentiful briskets just perfectly cooked. They were kind enough to give us an overwhelming amount of cilantro and lime. Gave four stars because our summer roll and crispy spring rolls were subpar. Usually comes with side of lettuce, noodles, carrots, and cilantro leaves to serve together. However wasn't upset as the pho was delicious read more

Really enjoy a pho spot that offers a lot of variety to non-Viet guests while stays true to its roots. The menu is very accessible, while they still including the original name dishes in Vietnamese, there is a good description of the dish. With nearly 19 variations of pho and various rice, vermicelli, and stir-fry noodle options, they're offering alot! And who doesn't like a warm bowl of pho in the city? This location is very spacious and clean, kitchen and front-house staff are friendly and accommodating, and I like how this location brings all sorts of people in their doors. When it comes to the broth, I found it to be not overpowering and on the light side, I wish more of the spices came through so you can't really tell what makes their broth distinct from other phos. However, all the toppings came correct, and its very hard to find a pho that includes tripe in the city. Its no frills, so just sriracha and hoisin as the tableside condiments. Its a good classic to rely on when the craving comes around. read more

Pho House has been by far one of my favorite spots since moving into the neighborhood! My roommate & I visit at least once a week. I can say the quality and quantity of the food has been consistently delicious!! The spot is a whole in the wall but please don't pass it off. It's clean, staff is friendly for the most part and the portions are great for the price, especially in the area. read more

Eh, not bad but also not great. Caveat: I didn't order any pho since they were closing and I don't like home reassembly. We had a vermicelli with pork, a rice with beef, and an order of spring rolls. It was all fine, but nothing really stood out to me. Maybe I should read the menu more closely, but I think the vermicelli came with lots of cabbage and carrots (yay!) while the rice came with steamed broccoli (boring!) The spring rolls felt like something from the freezer. Again, not bad, but if you want top-class Vietnamese, this ain't it. read more

As a Vietnamese American who grew up eating homecooked delicious pho for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... here are my thoughts: Pho here was okay-good. I always try the classic Combination pho in all the pho restaurants I go to. I ordered the #1 combo, and the broth flavor was not as bold as I wanted to be. It felt a little lackluster to me, so much that I had to add more Sriracha and Hoisin sauce to this broth to make it taste better. For the price point of $18 with tax, I don't think that's this bowl of was worth my money because I didn't have as much meat, noodles and broth as I would like. I will come here again if I needed to *partially* fill a craving It was also a quiet atmosphere inside during a Saturday lunch hour and my waiter didn't really come back to check on me, which was OK I guess, but the service was average as well. --------- My Star Rating Scale: 5 Stars: Excellent--- Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will come back 4 Stars: Good--- I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still come back 3 Stars: Okay--- It was okay, I didn't hate it but didn't like it either; would not voluntarily come back 2 Stars: Bad--- I did not like it, I would not come back 1 Star: Horrible--- Absolutely hated it, I would not come back here read more

With the weather beginning to get colder - what better time to start exploring to find great Pho restaurants in the DMV. My friend and I decided to try Pho House because of its very central location, and also because of its great reviews. Overall, the food was delicious and the we were able to add extra meats and make substitutions to our orders which was great. The broth that I had with my Pho was very well made. The flavours were substantive, as were the meats that were in the dish. read more

So i've only ordered this on DoorDash - never actually dined in or been there. But every-time I ordered on door dash it is FRESH and very good. the portion size is great i can never eat it all in one setting. I always order the PHO SATE it's spicy but it's great for a cold. I also get the spring rolls ( a bit expensive) but sooo good and again super fresh never had a bad experience from this place. I am pretty picky and when it comes to Pho I don't go anywhere but here! read more

We had a great meal at Pho House! We came here after seeing a show at Howard Theater, and it was just across the street. The restaurant is cute! It smelled pretty strongly of disinfectant, which is off putting for when you're hungry but at least you know the place is clean! The service was quick! We got pho and some fried dumplings and tofu. The food was really good. I thought the pho was much better than the apps we tried. read more

Walked in here on happenstance, as I was driving through the area and noticed the restaurant. I was craving soup, so decided to stop in and give them a chance. It's a very colorful restaurant with artwork, hand made designs, and floral arrangements throughout the interior. It was seat yourself seating when I walked in, but the service was just ok. I wasn't really sure who was my server because one employee told me to just take a seat when I sat down but never checked on me to ask if I was ready to order after handing me the menu. He was sitting at a table, just chilling on his computer. Another woman came out from the back and I asked her if I could order. I noticed some customers would walk to him or her, so it wasn't clear who was really manning the floor. Anyways, it was my first time trying pho, so I was eager to eat it. I ordered the brisket pho, and wow. It came out in a rather large bowl, and each table had condiments to add to the soup, like chili sauce, siracha, and some type of oyster sauce. To be honest, the broth was extremely flavorful and I added a bit of chili sauce just to enhance the overall flavor, but the pho was exceptionally delicious. The brisket was thinly sliced and really paired well with the broth. The noodles were cooked well, and I was able to pick up on many different flavors in the dish, like cilantro, lemon, onion, etc. It was so tasty and I really appreciated the presentation of the dish as well. Although the servers were not very attentive, I'm thinking it's just the vibe of the restaurant. They left me alone and I was able to eat my food in peace. I definitely would come back again because the pho was very delicious. I guess I would just manage my expectations about their service. Smh. read more

I have been trying various pho places in DC and northern Virginia area this winter. I came across this place while exploring pho places in the Shaw area. Ambiance is great. Very bright and clean. From the outside it does not look anything special, but trust me they have a great restaurant and very friendly staff. Loved their service. I have had their all meat pho and pho sate. Pho sate is a spicy broth with lemongrass flavor. Highly recommend this one if you want something spicy. It has amazing flavors. Traditional one is pretty good as well. Lots of meat. You can balance the spice in the traditional one by adding some house hot sauce. It's competitively priced as compared to the other pho spots. Parking can be hard to find in this location as it's located in the heart of Shaw neighborhood. I recommend taking a metro. read more

Easily the best pho in this city. From the moment we walked in it felt like home, the smell of delicious food in the air. We were immediately seated and service was great! I ordered the pho seafood and my bf had the pho tai. We shared goi cuon Tom (summer rolls with shrimp) and each had a Thai iced tea. The presentation of everything was simple yet beautiful. The broth of the pho had so much depth and was delicious. If you haven't tried this place you are certainly missing out! read more

I had an 8:00 reservation for a speakeasy nearby and literally stumbled upon this place by accident. It's right across the street from Howard Theater, and there's an entrance on both T Street and Florida Ave. I stepped inside and was immediately told to sit wherever I would like. There were plenty of tables around, and the decor didn't really stand out. Music was on point though! I decided to get the Seafood Pho and some shrimp summer rolls. I enjoyed the summer rolls and peanut sauce so much that I got another order for myself... that rarely happens!! The pho was simply delicious... sriracha, chili oil and hoisin sauce were available on the table for me to add as much heat and extra flavor as I wanted to... totally worth it. I haven't tried too many different pho places, but this was pretty darn good! The broth wasn't too exciting (flavor-wise) before I added the sauces, I will say. But aside from that... if you need a pho fix, check this spot out. For early on a Saturday evening the crowd wasn't too wild either. Give em a shot! read more

Pho House - this was in 5. Pho Tai, Gan - Noodles Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food was very good, service was good, ambience was very simple. I ordered vegetarian fare and all was cooked very well.

Ambience is blah but the pho is delicious. We got the combo and the spicy lemongrass and would get them both again. The egg rolls came out crispy and hot, they were small so I probably wouldn't get them again for the price but they were delicious. Also, they give a lot of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapeño, more than any other Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. Definitely a quality that makes this place stand out! The service...Only 1-2 people work the front of the house at a time. It's very bare bones staffing. When you come in you can grab any table you like. You have to order at the cash register and give your table number if you're dining in. You pay at the cash register when you're done eating. The employee wasn't great with English so I pointed to things on the menu and brought the drinks from the fridge to the cash register. FYI - You can only enter the restaurant through the entrance on U St. The back entrance is locked. read more

It's pho season again, and what an incredible find! Ordered some stellar take out here for the family. Food: Everyone loved their pho; we ordered beef, chicken, and veggie. The veggie broth was aromatic, vegetables were plentiful, tofu wasn't too greasy, and overall, I was happy. Wish it had a little more protein but next time I know to add more. Fresh rolls were okay. Drinks: I also added the lemon juice, which was basically a delicious lemonade. It would have been tasty with boba too. Packaging: Great! A big microwaveable bowl came with all the ingredients and a big plastic cup was on the side with the broth. I really like that they put the raw meat into the broth - which cooked it - rather than give us the meat raw. Think I'll try the beef pho next! read more

I would say the food was just ok. My wife is Vietnamese so I feel have a decent reference for good Vietnamese food. The Pho was fine, bahn mi was ok but the spring rolls and peanut sauce were not even close to authentic. The young kid seating us and taking our order seemed like he was regretting life choices and made everyone well aware of that with some pretty lackluster service. The guy that actually brought the food out was full of smiles which was nice. Ambiance, none. But really didn't factor into the 3 stars. read more

Pho House has been open for a little over a month now, and I've tried a few of their pho (the one with everything, the spicy lemongrass, and the one with brisket and tendon) and appetizers. Every visit thus far, they have been very reasonable with their toppings (bean sprouts, lime, jalapeño, basil), and the beef is slightly rosy upon serving, but the soup is hot enough that by the time you mix everything together, it is beautifully all done. I've enjoyed all of the pho I've had so far. The spicy fried tofu is pretty good with the accompanying sweet sauce. The service has been a bit slow, but the staff are polite. It is a great addition to the neighborhood, and I look forward to trying their banh mi or other non-pho options. read more

We ordered pho and fresh rolls and the only vegetables that the fresh rolls had were lettuce. The pho also did not have a lot of flavor and just had meat and noodles. The service was quick at the start but after we got our meals, we did not hear from our waiter again until we went up to him to pay. Maybe it was a bad night for them but not great overall. read more

You already know I'm always looking for some good pho. This place just recently opened and wanted to try it out. And I'm glad I did. It's large enough to hold big groups, clean interior, and friendly staff. Food? The broth wasn't the best pho I've ever had but it might've been the veggie pho I've had. And I've tried many. The vegetables were fresh and had a great variety. It paired very well w the broth. Im not mad about it. Would come again if Im near. read more

New to the neighborhood they opened 8 months ago. The atmosphere was chill the server told us to sit anywhere we would like. We took a quite table in the back. There was a large family in the front. The service was great starting us off with water but I always need time to look over the menu. There are many different options the one thing I wish there was is a veggie summer roll, I got the veg egg roll instead still amazing. Food came out quickly and HOT!

probably closer to a 3 but bumping to 4 - decent quality soups, the pho sate is a favorite and also liked the noodle bowls. the garden rolls are ok but very little shrimp/pork in them and the rice paper was very stiff. overall decent, a nice spot in the neighborhood to grab a quick takeout bite. they also have a good amount of seating inside but service can be slower during busier times as they're a small team. read more
