I ordered the all the meat/junk selection in which the bowl comes with a bit of all different kind of meat. There were beef slices, tendon, meatball, etc. The soup was amazing. The sides were fresh and tasty. The meats were juicy and tender! The only unfortunate part was that the bowl took $19.5 ($21.4 after tax) out of my pocket. For a normal pho order, I'm paying close to a 2x premium compared to most other pho joints. read more

Amazing pho. The place was clean, service was quick, and the food was absolutely delicious. You order online via QR code- there's seating at the bar or you can grab a table. I got the pho with all the meats, and everything tasted super fresh. The broth was rich and flavorful, and I hardly found any of that greasy layer that usually floats to the surface- clearly skimmed well and carefully made. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'd return to. read more

Overall this was a mediocre experience. It took more than 30 minutes for 1 bowl of pho to come out after ordering. (I know the exact time it took because you get charged for the meal when ordering and the Apple Pay notification was at 32min ago when my bowl arrived). I am aware that a dinner rush can cause some delays, but on a Monday and with only 3 menu items, you'd think they'd have a more efficient system. The mandatory order-by-phone system is also very impersonal and a bit depressing, especially when sitting at the bar, where normally things are more social and friendly. Because one has to order from your own phone's Toast app/browser, you also have to pay and decide on a tip at the beginning. This is also a suboptimal experience IMO, as I had no idea how the service would be at the time I was asked to pay. I will say that when the pho finally arrived, it was nicely presented in high-quality ceramic and the lime/jalapeño side dish was neatly organized. The bartender was quick to fill waters which was appreciated. The main waiter / manager did thank me for my patience after I inquired about the half hour wait after ordering, but it would have been nice to have my plate / utensils set in advance of the food coming out as a sign confirming that my order would be coming out eventually. Any communication really would have been appreciated. read more

This spot is a little too fancy to have "Junkies" in their name. We came here for some Pho on our second night in DC. The downside is that you need to order via your mobile phone. I ordered a Meatball (Pho Bo Vien) Pho which wasn't on the menu. We had to flag the waiter and ask for assistance. The broth and noodles were delicious. The meatballs tasted clean but rather rubbery/overcooked. We also ordered egg rolls which were delicious but unfortunately only came with 2 which were cut in half. We had to order another plate to satisfy our craving. These were extremely crunchy and flavorful. Service feels like it is non-existent until you put your order in. Aside from the mobile ordering, the meal hit the spot. read more

My friend heard that Pho Junkies had one of the best phos in DC, so we stopped by for dinner last Tuesday. You can order via Toast by scanning the QR code that's unique for every table. PHO JUNKIES - ALL THE MEATS - 19.75 Almost $20 for a bowl of pho is quite pricy. They do give you a good amount of meats, though. The brisket and eye round steak were tender and juicy. I enjoyed the tendon a lot too. The broth was quite good and rich, and the noodles had a nice chew and texture that didn't dilute the broth with starch. However, the bowl was pretty small and I can't say it was worth the amount we paid for. After tax and tip, I paid closer to $25, which is almost double the amount I'd pay if I went to Pho 75 in Rosslyn. Pho Junkies is definitely one of the best phos I've had in the area, but not sure if it's worth it. read more

My friend and I ventured into Pho Junkies before a Nats game craving a warm bowl of Pho! I was so happy to find a pho spot in Navy Yard - a bit of a challenge when in the city. The ambiance is very calming and relaxing. We were seated instantly and scanned the QR code at the table for our menus. I went with the Steak Pho and was not disappointed! The broth was so flavorful and paired exceptionally well with the noodles and chives. The spice blend and fresh vegetable toppings throughout the pho bound the rare steak in perfectly. Loved the option for extra limes and jalapeños on the side! I want to take a moment to appreciate the staff! All were so kind and accommodating throughout our meal. I had to charge my phone and finish up a task for work, which was a bit stressful. However, the Pho Junkies staff made sure I had an outlet to charge my computer and provided us the best seating to feel comfortable. Great service! Will surely be back to enjoy a bowl of pho very soon! read more

This was the most exquisite photo dining experience I've ever had. It was a completely silent service, from the time you walk in the door until you leave. The menu is delivered via a QR code on the table. It is short and to the point, but allows for full customization of your bowl of pho. Once ordered, the only man I saw in the restaurant came to deliver a glass of water, wrapped utensils and precisely arrange your items on your table, backing away with a respectful bow. I don't think I've been so artfully and precisely attended to in any restaurant and it was superior, to say the least. I ordered the Spring Rolls and Beef Pho. The Spring Rolls were perfectly prepared, flavorful, served with a light and acidic dipping sauce. My water glass never ran empty and dishes were whisked away immediately upon finishing my appetizer. Then the pho showered up, with the thinnest shaved beef, rare and melt in your mouth good. The broth had every element a good pho showcases, and the bowl was adorned with fresh Thai basil and cilantro. It's a good thing I don't live here, because I'd spend my monthly budget only dining in this very spot! Thank you for a beautiful and contemplative dining experience Pho Junkies! read more

So, I am Vietnamese American and I live near San Jose, CA, where we have excellent vietnamese food. I was here for work and a coworker without good access to viet food asked if we could go. I'm always up for even mediocre pho and I am reminded of how much good Viet food is in DC/NoVA. We went twice in two days and this would easily be among the best 'back home'. Also, kudos for enabling Toast for both ordering and payments, made this really easy and convenient when on an expense account. read more

I LOVE PHO!!! In D.C. for a work conference and walked down the street for dinner by myself. This pho spot is perfect for that, the service was great even though it's intended to be hands-off. You do have to order online through a QR code but that was no big deal. The spring rolls were delicious! The pho broth was also delicious but the start of the show was the tofu. I wish my pho spot back home served their tofu like this - it was amazing. read more

I really enjoyed the taste of the broth and thought that it came out. Probably the hottest I've ever had. I do appreciate the order and pay for everything and be done, but I feel like I wanted some dessert and if they had that where I could see it readily available I would've ordered it. The staff were super attentive to all of my Needs especially coming around every minute or so to fill up my water. I will definitely be coming here again and I highly recommend this place. My total price for about $.20 shy of $20. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening with my wife. Great pho in a nice dining room. The good: the pho here is the best we have had in a while the menu and ordering process is automated by QR code this gives a lot of options to customize your order but do remember to have a phone with you. The dining room and service here is very clean and nice which was not fully expected by the sign out front. The spring rolls come with a real fish sauce, this can be kind of hard to find as a lot of places seem to sub this out for some other sweet sauce that's less polarising but I loved the inclusion. The mediocre: this might be a selling point for some but it was fairly quiet when we stopped in and overly sterile. Full automated ordering, payment and hand sanitiser set out. Again this was one visit on a slow day and for those that appreciate these considerations this may be perfect. I tend to prefer more human interaction. read more

I tried it today upon learning they now open at 12-2 for lunch, since i'm usually on way home before their 5p dinner service. Staff were very nice and courteous, almost too deliberate but adequate. Inside was minimalistic just industrial type bar with high chairs and simple wall bench and tables. Does look like a sports bar, masculine and clean! Now for the Pho bowl I had- I ordered all the meats, bowl was $21 plus tax & tip about $27 total. Bowl had lots of meats and well-proportioned noodles. It could use more greens but more importantly that the soup should, I mean should be hotter (temp wise) and should have more flavor. It was bland and a bit bitter at the same time-my after taste was more bitter, lingered in my tongue after i completely finished the bowl. Comparably to other Pho places in Nova (i.e., Pho 98 & Phonemal) where the clear soups are more flavorful, Pho Junkies missed it just a tad during my visit, which is to say it was bland, a bit bitter, and never mind they charge 30% more for a small bowl but it's DC, so... Still, I saw formidable yelpers gave this place 5 stars so i'll keep an open mind. Also pulled up higher score because the staff were welcoming and nice, so a 4 (vice 3 my initial thought) but herés hoping for more pronounced flavor of that soup next time!!! read more

Love this place. Pho is delicious. Whether we sit and eat in our take it to go, it is consistently well prepared with great ingredients.

I understand the hype! We went around 10 minutes after opening so had the place basically all to ourselves, it was very quiet and nice to get into AC in the summer heat. We didn't see much of the people working here but the man who brought our utensils, food, and water was incredibly nice and wished us goodbye as we left. The pho was delicious, I forgot to take pictures until I had basically finished because I noticed a heart shaped scallion in my bowl that I thought was cute! Would recommend and definitely making this my go to pho spot! read more

I don't usually have a favorite when it comes to pho joints but I can comfortably say Pho Junkies is up there. I cannot believe how much I loved the brisket and fatty brisket, which I didn't even order for myself - I got those two meats along with meatballs for my lil twins to share a bowl. I cheaped out and just got the rare steak, which was delicious in itself. But for anyone trying them for the first time, I say don't cheap out like I did, get the good stuff! I'd want to try more next time. There are also chicken and vegetarian options though I don't know if I'll get to those since I really liked the meats and I'm not even one who typically craves meat. As I said above, I came over with my twins. My husband and I were so tickled that they got kid friendly chopsticks and a small soup spoon!! This made it so special for them. My daughter likes pho soup but only wants it with rice. Unfortunately there is no rice here. No rice plate like you might see at other Vietnamese restaurants. Here you'll find only pho and some delicious spring rolls yummmmmm. Anyway, since the soup was good, my girl was glad to just use her small soup spoon. We brought home the leftover broth and she happily ate up the soup with rice we already had. Along with the food being good, the joy of having kid sized tableware, and the nice ambiance, we also experienced great customer service! Our server was gracious with setting down all items on the table and was also interactive with our toddlers. Our foods came out in timely manners and our waters were always filled. We also got extra napkins which ya know every family table with kids need a bunch! read more

The staff is so attentive and respectful. The food is absolutely amazing. They have a small menu for a reason. Definite must try.

Pho Junkies is truly a neighborhood gem that does not get the attention and accolade it deserves. My husband and I each ordered the Pho Your Way with rare steak and brisket. The broth was simple, but so flavorful and the cilantro, Thai basil, scallions were extra fresh and provided the perfect balance. To share, we got the spring rolls too. I am not huge on pork meat, but wow these shrimp and pork spring rolls were divine. I think we found our go-to spot for winter. read more

They're finally open again! Was pleasantly surprised to see that pho junkies was open again. We were able to walk in and get a table for 2, but it is recommended to get reservations if you can--they've been taking reservations and their kitchen will get busy. We were happy to see spring rolls added to the menu. It was delicious. They're cut into half and topped with the pickled veggies and mint. I would say "bite sized", but it's a pretty hefty size. Pho is on point, as usual. Got a custom one with fatty brisket, tendon, and round eye. The broth is rich and delicious. Got extra veggies and they were fresh. The one server is so attentive and kind. He is hustling from table to table. I really appreciate the restaurant is very clean and the tableware they use is earthy and feels authentic. We plan to go back more now that they're open again! read more

What a surprise to have this Pho place in Navy Yard! I've been coming to DC for work on a yearly basis and stay nearby, so it's great to have a pho place within walking distance. I was craving pho and didn't want to take the subway north to grab pho from other restaurants. Initially, I tried calling - no answer and it said that the phone number wasn't taking calls. Then I tried googling the restaurant to place an order. The toast website that popped up first also wasn't accepting orders. I ended up deciding to do a hail mary and walk the five minutes. It's a little bit easy to miss because it's small/narrow. The QR code at the restaurant worked, but the servers had to note internally that it was a takeout. The menu doesn't have a lot of variety but I got the chicken pho with dark meat. There was very limited staff - 2 waiters and 1 chef? And this was on a Thursday night when the restaurant was 3/4 full. I ended up waiting a bit longer than I anticipated. Aside from the wait, the food was surprisingly good. Yes, I had low expectations because there wasn't a number in the restaurant name and the technological glitches I had earlier. The soup was warming and full of flavor. Noodles tender and the meat was not dry. Overall, a pretty good meal for a restaurant that is a short walk away. Staff was also nice and did their best to speed things up. read more

How to describe my favorite place for a week night meal? Quiet, professional, great service, delicious food and a wonderful place to unwind after a long day. They just extended their hours and I'm so excited! I love coming to Pho Junkies after coming home from a long day at work and not wanting to cook. As soon as you choose a spot to sit, you are quietly greeted and served water. Order your food at your own pace from the QR code on the table. And then wait for your food. It's a small operation, so the busier it is, the longer the wait but for those of us who live in the area, that's ok. It's a quiet, clean and nice environment to enjoy conversations with a friend, read a book or enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer while you wait. And it's great to be able to leave as quickly or as slowly as you want since you've already paid! Plenty of space for singles, groups of two or four to eat. Lots of people come to grab some take out on the way home. Did I mention the food is delicious? One of the best parts, besides the fact that the broth is delicious and the ingredients are fresh and perfect is the ability to customize the pho. For the picky eater or the person who wants extra everything, this is the place to come. My favorite is all the meats but pho your way is a good way to go too! read more

I've been dying to try this place since it's walking distance to me and the hours make it seem so elusive. It's a small restaurant but the ambiance is really nice and they had great music playing in the background. The service was amazing and attentive. The pho was just okay to me.

Ordered inside the store for takeout. The servers were very kind and gave me water while I waited for my food (took about 10-15 mins to be ready after I ordered). When I got home, the pho was steamy and perfectly hot. As far as the taste, it was a solid bowl of pho and if you have a craving it will for sure hit the spot. However, I do wish that for takeout orders they package the broth separately from the noodles/meat because when I got down to eating it, the noodles were a bit soft for my liking. Overall great place and I will be coming back (just wish they had online ordering available & were open on the weekends)! read more

Food was amazing. We were a little thrown off because of the menu. But we realized a lot of care and experience went into the food. Atmosphere was great not loud but not disconnected from other patrons. But the service was also top tier. Can't think of the last time someone serviced out of appreciation and joy of the trade or just for their business. It didn't feel like it was for tip. I can definitely reassure you. It wasn't for the money. It was genuine service A grade service. As a parent I appreciate how we all were treated. Definitely returning. read more

These guys are doing pho right. I'm new to DC and only out here for a few months on work, and man do these guys make me feel welcome. Very inviting with delicious food.

Service was super fast and restaurant with clean with a modern vibe. However, I do not recommend getting the phone with tripe in it. The tripe did not taste like it was properly cleaned and faintly tasted of manure. I've had pho several times before in other locations across the country and have not had this experience, so I caution whoever is considering ordering tripe. On the other hand, my friend ordered the chicken pho and absolutely loved it. Her beer was great too. Hope this helps! read more

Good flavor but a bit skimpy on the beef and noodles. For the $17.50 plus tax and tip, I hoped for more.

Pho in DC is expensive and this is the only one that's worth every penny. The meats are so fresh and delicious. The broth is so good it'd make a Vietnamese mom proud. I highly recommend this place. Also def get the spring rolls. Some of the best I've ever had in my life. The ambiance is perfect. The service is five star. If you're used to going to an Asian restaurant where they lack service bc they know their food is good, this place does not subscribe to that playbook. The food is top notch and so is their service!! read more
