The most polite individuals I've ever encountered at a restaurant. Your water will always be filled, you will be thanked graciously for coming in, and you will have the best damn Pho in DC. read more

I've been fortunate to enjoy a lot of restaurants from hole in the walls to Michelin. I was not expecting the best Pho and service I have had in a long while. I was extremely impressed by the level of service given here, you can tell there is commitment to giving the best experience to each diner. I walked in, dined alone, and felt very attended to. Staff made me feel at home and out of the corner of my eye, I could see they paid attention to each diner to make sure everyone had what they needed, without asking. Don't get me started on the broth, one of the best I have tasted. If you can dine here, do it, you will NOT be disappointed read more

Pho Junkies - Chicken pho - Food Trucks Near Me

My friends! Ever sworn you'd never do something, did it and fell instantly love??? Yea, that's me. Years back, I never thought I'd be into the food truck scene. I had every negative thought...what about quality? What about service and speed? What about their cooking setup? Yes, that was me with endless questions and skepticism. Fast forward some years and I was a covert by none other than Pho Junkies! Picture it, a cool and rainy day. Craving something warm but not too heavy. Enter Pho Junkies in all their zombie themed truck glory. Their pho is amazing! Piping hot so that if you have to haul a few blocks, your soup will be golden. Served with jalapenos, sriracha, and hoisin on the side, the pho is yours to customize, darling! Their shrimp roll is my other weakness. Yes yes y'all. The line can be long but they move quickly when considering the type of cooking being done. Service has always been friendly and on point, so no complaints there. Though I dont want the line any longer (just kidding!), I'm gonna go ahead and put y'all on. You're welcome! read more

I used to order from their food truck often when I worked in an office building near by. They're restaurant quality is consistent with the truck! The pho is delicious and succulent. Highly recommend! read more

This is where food is so good it makes you smile. I have been here twice now, the most recent time alone so I could really take in the ambiance of the place. The staff is extremely respectful and fantastic. I always felt very very welcomed and valued as soon as I came into the restaurant. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, some place where you go after a long day of work. The food is perfect. I have had the chicken and beef pho and both were delicious. This will continue to be an after work delight for me. Can't wait to come back!! read more

This is so dumb. Why is one of my most consistent experiences with DC pho hosted by a food truck of all things? Leave it to Pho Junkies to subvert expectations and actually deliver quality food. I honestly ordered the pho as a joke since there was no way it'd actually be good, but I'll be damned. Broth actually had a depth of flavor to it with a barrage of meats, plus they gave me a separate baggie for meats on request to drop when I got home. In terms of other farings, the cha gio/spring rolls had a super authentic Vietnamese filling. Only downside is getting it from said food truck - would love to sit down at a table and grovel longer, but I've always found these guys in popping places like Dupont with little to no bench space. But don't be put off by the potentially tacky truck decor - the food is just as bombastic as their truck. read more

This is my first time having pho and I must say this is by far the best . The customer service was amazing . Let's not even get on the pho 20/10 yes I said 20 . This place was so good . Everything was worth it even my butt burning in the am because I ate alone of pepper I definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try pho . read more

Pho Junkies - a bowl of pho noodle and a glass of wine - Food Trucks Near Me

Pho Junkies reopened relatively recently after being closed for the better part of a year. The good news: it's just as good now as it was a year ago. Absolutely hit the spot, with delicious broth, great noodles, and delicious meat. It's just fantastic. The unfortunate news: their hours (especially on weekends, when a lunchtime spot would be great) are reduced. But it makes sense - they are still a relatively small operation (just a cook and front-of-the-house guy), handling most logistics via Toast online ordering. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Saturday or Sunday lunch fix soon, but that doesn't detract at all from the fantastic pho. read more

I've been living in Navy Yard for almost 2 years and had no idea this place existed. It even looked closed on the outside, but it's definitely open. When we walked in, it smelled just like home and I knew it was going to be good when their menu only had 3 types of pho dishes and 2 apps. The noodles were perfect and the beef was sooo TENDER! It is more expensive than other pho places, but how else are they going to pay that DC rent. I can't wait for winter so I can come here every week to warm my soul. read more

Pho Junkies - Beef pho - Food Trucks Near Me

Stopped by for lunch today. Very good pho. Quick service. Nice spring rolls. Spot wasn't as easy to find - on the side of the building, so be sure to walk up First to find the entrance. read more

Still the best pho (and appetizers) in DC. You seriously won't find better spring/summer rolls either. Soup is always delicate and delicious and the noodles are perfectly firm without me having to ask for it. Excellent quality meats, as well. Yeah, it's gotten a bit more expensive, but it's in DC and Navy Yard. so it's still worth it easily for me. They're not open for lunch anymore on the weekends which makes me sad, but I won't hold it against them. Oh, and they serve booze now! A++ read more

Good. A little pricey for a bowl of pho. But it's hard to get good Vietnamese in the city. So I didn't feel cheated.

Yum yum! Great place for Pho. You order from the table on your phone, pay and tip immediately, and they still provide great service. I will be back. read more

Visiting in DC and have tried a couple Pho places and this one is the best one! Easy ordering process plus great customer service.

I would give 5 stars for service, but only 3 stars for food. It was only two guys running the restaurant, so my friends and I had to wait about 50 minutes for our food, but the waiter was very apologetic about the wait time. If you're in the Navy Yard area and craving a bowl of noodle soup this is the place to go, but if you're in the mood for authentic pho- keep on searching! My friends and I got: - Spring rolls: These were $9 for 4 tiny pieces. Although they were good, it was definitely not worth the price. - Chicken and beef pho: Each bowl of pho we got totaled to $16-17, with tax and tip it came out to over $20 for each bowl. Probably the most expensive pho I've ever had. The broth is slightly different from authentic pho broth, it's smokey but still good, just not my cup of tea. The meats in the soup were good, but I was honestly expecting a little more for the price we paid. read more

The customer service was great as soon as we walked in the door. Customer service was excellent throughout the dining experience as well. They were very attentive, consistent with making sure you had all that you needed, very respectful, maintained a clean environment. The way you ordered was efficient and easy. We tipped with our payment online but I had to tip extra because of how good the customer service and food was. The food was perfect, best pho I've had, really impressed. The menu was super simple and the amount of food you chose was the perfect amount. The taste was delicious. I will definitely keep coming back. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

I remember when this brand only existed as a food truck down on L'Enfant Plaza. Glad to see they have moved up in the world to now having a "physical" restaurant. PROS: - very good pho that is well prepared. The meats and vegetables are especially fresh and you get good portions. - the management plays urban contemporary R&B and jazz. Don't know if he curates the music himself but he has good taste. - clean, trendy decor. Everything looks orderly (maybe too orderly), but that's a matter of opinion which leads me to my cons. - These are observances more than cons, and they are completely my own opinion. Number one, the atmosphere is almost too clean to the point of being sterile. You walk into the place and you immediately feel this isn't your standard pho restaurant environment. Most pho restaurants seen a little unkept looking; wait staff speaking Vietnamese to the cook staff, menus with pictures of pho dishes you can order, wait staff taking your order in bad English. I kind of like that type of atmosphere, but I respect the manager of this place trying to take things in a different direction. To each his own, right? - To add to this sterility of the place, the manager (or the person who seems to be the manager), always wears a face mask. He's nice enough but why the need to constantly wear a face mask when his assistant waiter doesn't? - Besides the QR code menu placards being meticulously placed on the tables (and I do mean meticuously), all facing the same direction and angle--not even a micro-inch off kilter. There are no physical menus. the manager/waiter brings out your food and drink and places everything in an overly precise and choreographed manner as if everything must be precisely placed at a precise point on your table. Seems like OCD behavior on steroids. I would end by saying this place makes great pho. But perhaps management should lighten up a bit and not be so overly conscious about appearances. If a placard is out of place when a customer comes in, it's ok. It's ok to just put food, drink and condiments on the customer's table without behaving like it's a precision drill. In other words, be more casual. read more

So happy we stopped in! A great pho spot with a team that very clearly cares about the food and the dining experience. We had the beef pho and chicken pho on our visit, and both were excellent. The broths were well developed and the proteins were well cooked/prepared. Orders are taken via a Toast QR code, but service was quick, attentive, thoughtful, and intentional. We're lucky to have these junkies in the neighborhood! read more

Amazing quality and great customer service. The only thing I would complain bout was the tofu, but I'm not a big fan of fried tofu anyways.

Probably one of the best pho experiences i've had. Great prices, atmosphere, and the service was phenomenal. You are allowed to customize your dishes to fit your personalized taste. Servers are very caring and detailed orientated. Great spot for a date. read more

Pho Junkies - steak pho - Food Trucks Near Me

After eating here, you'll have to ask yourself every time you eat a bowl of pho "Is this as good as Pho Junkies?" The answer will always be no. The bar has been set high by this restaurant and I've yet to find somewhere better! The service is OUTSTANDING- the cleanest restaurant I've ever been to with the nicest staff. read more

Somewhat of a hidden gem. Above all the pho and spring rolls are excellent. This is coupled with attentive, personal, polite and respectful service. The decor is more functional and modern. read more

Incredible food and service! Best pho I've had in a long time! Staff is tremendously attentive.Absolutely recommend.

Bottom Line: There's a reason this place is 4.5 rating...they are THAT good. Their brick and mortar shop is clean and tasteful inside with such good pho that we'll be returning many times. No need to drive over to Annandale for good Pho. Pho Junkies is a must try ASAP!! Beware, their operating hours are wacky!! And the main time I want Pho is Saturday or Sunday late morning/lunch after a long night of drinking, however, they aren't operating those hours. PROS: - Nice large bowl of Pho - Easily customizable with more/less of your favorites - All the meats options are great quality - Decor and cleanliness is top notch - Owner/chef/waiter was all done by one person who is so pristine and perfect with his skills. He's so helpful with the menu and very eloquent at serving when he drops off everything. Absolutely top notch, Michelin star quality! -Did I mention very delicious CONS: - Broth could have been hotter. I wanna scorch my tongue coming out of there. But just personal thing. - Weird hours. Wish I could have them weekend mornings after 10am - Overall, not really anything major. Love this place Final Thoughts: I no longer need to go to Annandale for good Pho. This place has got it!!! Done. read more

Delish! But caution yourself that the menu is EXTREMELY limited - pho and water only. Great service and great soup. Can't wait till they get some more things on the menu. read more

Service is almost awkward because it's so amazing. They have my son a free banana when it saw it on the shelf. Had to give them a good tip because I was so impressed. read more

Ever have a fixation on a particular food and can't seem to shake it? You are so into it that you become a junkie. You are convinced after all of your exploring the various purveyors of said obsession that you know the good from the bad, the mediocre and the horrible. Yep, that describes me. Well, scratch that. Because apparently, I'm an idiot. Pho Junkies just served me a hot bowl of correction. Yup. It happened. And I am so thankful for it. I went to their new brick and mortar spot in Navy Yard in Washington, DC. The space is styled nicely but I'm not here to talk about that. Let's, talk pho. I'm not exaggerating when I say quality matters. In the case of this joint, they nailed the quality. And I mean NAILED IT. I thought before that I knew pho. Nope. Apparently I was wrong. Now, after a visit to Pho Junkies Navy Yard - DC, now... now I know pho. Get there. Just don't take my seat. read more

Pho was tasty, maybe a little bland but I ate every bite! The egg rolls, however tasty the filling was, they tasted like they were fried in oil used for donuts. Totally threw me off. read more

Great pho. Great service. When they get their liquor license. I may go every day. The space inside is clean and pleasant. There is plenty of space between tables for social distancing. The manager/owner is really nice and attentive. Best pho in DC proper. read more

This place is AMAZING!! Coming from New York, many food spots in DC have been disappointing... but this spot. WOW. Mammamia 11/10. Broth is unreal. Finally some real FLAVOR. What are you doing still reading this? Get yo ass over here! read more

This place is simply fantastic. From the welcoming and attentive staff, to the customizable pho orders, and everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Tier 1 pho restaurant in my opinion. Spring rolls are also freaking epic. Come here and eat food NOW read more

Good place that opened about 3-4 weeks ago. Nice clean place. Super polite workers (owners?) that take customer service seriously. The pho broth is good coupled with the veggies is great. The broth isn't the saltiest which is a good thing seeing that most restaurants now just add too much salt to everything. Since the weather is getting cooler I'm sure this place will be packed during the fall and winter time period! read more

The broth is great! I love how they precook your bean sprouts, and that you can easily customize your bowl. I'm looking forward to seeing more things on the menu! (Maybe viet coffee? Hint hint) read more

Came here for the first time yesterday and I cannot recommend it enough! I got steak, brisket, and meatballs in my pho, while not being a big meat eater but really wanted to try a little bit of everything. Exceptional! I usually don't love meatballs in pho but these were the best I've ever had and want to exclusively get that from now on! The staff is so warm, kind, welcoming, and you can tell everything is done with intention! I want to give them all my money bc they deserve everything and more! read more

I am so glad they opened a storefront because this is definitely one of the best spots for pho in the city! This was my first time visiting and I ordered a chicken pho to go. The broth was so flavorful and the garnishes were fresh. The portion size was perfect. The inside is small, intimate and very clean. It's perfect for pairs or small groups. read more

The Pho was absolutely delicious. Two guys running the show, but wait time was not a factor. The menu is reasonably priced. I definitely recommend checking this place out. I will be back. Glad to see it back open. read more

Best pho ever!! We go almost every week. Best ambiance, best service, amazing/fresh ingredients

Fantastic service, food, and atmosphere! My waiter was so attentive and the facility was clean. I will definitely be coming back.
