Pros: +pho beef broth is excellent +spring rolls with shrimp and roasted pork (nice grilled flavor) Cons: -slow service; especially, when they have 5+ tables running -I had to flag down our waiter twice for refills on water -large pho noodle portions were very small; raised it up to the owner and he was unapologetic. he tried to explain that it's his chef's fault, and that I should let him know next time if it happens again. -both, the men's and women's bathroom doors were propped open with chairs and the lights were turned off...shouldn't bathroom maintenance be done before or after business hours? Overall, the food is pretty good and I consider them to be one of the better options for pho in the NoVA region. On the other hand, the customer service and operations needs some improvement. I would suggest taking notes from Pho Sate, Pho 102, and Super Pho. Their owners/managers; especially, Pho Sate make sure you leave satisfied and ensure you are a repeat customer. At the end of the day, I spent $50 for 3 pho soups and 2 orders of spring rolls and was left with a less-than-great customer experience. In a couple months or so, I hope to give them another shot, with hopes that their management team has improved their operations and service (so that I can bump them up a star or two). read more

We have been coming here for at least 3 years. We love the staff- Calvin remembers us each time we visit and it feels like coming home when we step inside. My husband and I love this place because the portions are very generous, facilities are spotless and food is PHO-NOMENAL. Calvin gave us some insight on how the broth is made and it really enhanced our experience knowing the time and attention to detail the kitchen gives to their food preparation. Get the Coconut Boba- such an underrated flavor Pliny TRUST ME! We get the #8 pho combo EVERY TIME Occasionally with an extra side of meatballs Seriously. Go- enjoy and feel like you've been transported into the home of an old friend. read more

This place lives up to its name since the food was absolutely pho-nomenal. The decor of the place is very very classy looking but has an extremely welcoming and homey feel. The owners of the restaurant were extremely welcoming and kind and really made you feel like they wanted you to be there and enjoy your entire experience. The food was delicious and the quantity was amazing. Can't wait to come back. read more

Hands down the best Pho in Loudoun County! As true Pho connoisseurs know, it's all about the broth -- and theirs is extremely well developed. Must try: their fried spring rolls. I have no idea how they consistently pack those rolls with such flavor, but they do. read more

Hands down the best Pho in Loudoun County. Staff is super friendly and attentive. I come here everyday for lunch and I am never disappointed. read more

Not sure if this place has changed ownership or something else. I ordered a pho with specific directions with brisket, tendon, & meat balls and the other is rice combo. Total for the pho was $15.49 However, when I got home and unpacked the order, the pho was missing meat balls. I don't want to be petty, but very disappointed that I got charged for the full price and the meat balls were missing! Lesson learned, always check your order before leaving, which, I did check with the server when picking up the food and twice while I was on the phone ordering. Please do it right!! This is not trigonometry. read more

This pho restaurant comes in a my second favorite (so far) in the area following Pho4ever in Fairfax. My partner and I came in on a Saturday night and were seated quickly. We've been here a handful of times warranting 5/5 stars. However, last night the poor service brought a 4/5. I've had their pho and pad Thai previously and both are great. Although if you're just looking for good Thai- Sense of Thai a few doors down is THE place to go! Chicken Pho: The pho is done very well with noodles that have the perfect chew and flavorful broth. I'm a fan of many types, but typically like the lightness of chicken pho. There was no shortage of meat, noodles, veggies, cilantro, or green onion. They included a couple crispy fried onions which was a wonderful addition of flavor. Service: We always have great experiences here. However, yesterday our table was fairly neglected. There were maybe three servers who seemed to have difficulty balancing attention to each table. It was busy but still had a small handful of open tables. Our server was friendly but after ordering our pho, tea (which they said they may not have any left and we didn't hear from again), and extra additions (never received) they didn't check on us until after we received the check and services from someone else. read more

Pho was good and fresh spring roll With shrimp good. Service was good but I don't like only one thing be careful when you get to check out and bring a swipe machine to pay to your table after your check out. The guy was looking manager or owner he was chosen to 20 % tip. I was not picked yet. We went there only 2 people. I think this was wrong. They should let the customer select it. I was gonna give they cash for a tip. But this is not right. We always tip cash. Maybe this man thought we were not gonna tip them. read more

I would give 0 stars if could. I frequent Vietnamese restaurants often and the food was subpar. However, the main reason I writing this review is for the despicable service. It was our first time here and we were looking to find out our menu options especially since we had come with our 6 year old. Right off the bat, our server did not seem to have the time of day for us, despite the restaurant being almost empty on a Friday evening - that too, a restaurant in one Loudoun. When asking about any of the items he was so abrupt, yes/no answers and not willing to even slightly accommodate us in any way. He forgot about our beverages and condiments and remembered as we were wrapping up our meal which we didn't bother finishing due to feeling unwelcome, lack of ambiance and with the food being so average. We came to know there is no kids menu and he simply did not want to make our lives any easier. We got the Seinfeld feeling of "No soup for you" if you will. Overall, yeah....its a sinking ship in my books read more

Excellent pho, great, friendly service, clean dining area and restroom, reasonably priced. Thank you! read more

I can't get enough of phonomenal! My favorite dish is the lemongrass vermicelli bowl. And let's not forget about the pho Bo vien. The pho broth is incredibly flavorful! The customer service is the best as everyone is so caring and genuine, and they're always wearing smiles. They recently had a raffle giveaway and I won an iPhone 16 pro max! It is super sweet for them to giveback to the community. Thank you phonomenal!! read more

I have been to this place twice and it is amazing! The broth is so flavorful and the soup is huge. The people are always so kind, friendly, and it's very clean and relaxed. This is hands down my favorite pho place! read more

Maybe one of the best pho spots in Ashburn now. It's been over 2 years since I've visited due to the pandemic. They have stepped it up, expanded their menu to include more than the typical pho, rice or noodle bowls and rolls. Soup-er impressed! read more

I have tried this place several times and each time I am fairly disappointed. The first time I ate here with a friend we got meat that had a metallic shine. We were worried so we called the waiter. He said the manager said it was fine and it's called iridescent meat. The second time we ate there the pho I got was mainly noodles and barely any meat. The last few times I switched from getting pho and went with another dry noodle dish and it was decent. read more

Amazing Service and Friendly Owner. The Pho was good and they have a good vegetarian selection! I also ordered extra onions in vinegar which goes really well with Pho. read more

Ordering via the app was super simple! A definite plus is they read the "special requests" section and delivered on each request! The pho broth was super tasty. The meat was good but not much flavor (I guess that's expected with pho). Nonetheless it was a great meal at a reasonable price. I will definitely go again read more

A solid northern Virginian choice for Pho. The owner is a military vet, and has opened a restaurant with a definite sense of pride in making good food. Clean, well organized serving good food with a good attitude. Hard to ask for more! read more

Lives up to its name. Hadn't found any pho in the DC/VA area as good as what I found in Colorado (of all places), but this place is pretty close. Crispy rolls are delish as well. read more

Very delicious and fresh tasting food, only reason it isn't five stars is because my GrubHub order included the wrong drink one time which is frustrating when the receipt is taped to the bag and it's still wrong, but the drink I received was still really good! The owner called and refunded me and even offered to drive out a new one if he had time. They truly care about the customer and they're always busy in there but still manage to get out delicious food in a reasonable time. The boba is delicious too. Definitely try them and maybe you'll make this your go to pho spot like I did! The pho chin is my favorite because of the lean brisket with such great flavor and not a lot of fat. read more

I have nothing but good to say for these fine people. Tied for number one pho in the country for me, and some of the freshest calamari I've ever eaten. Vietnamese coffee is spot on as well. If I'm ever back in the area I will patronize this wonderful eating establishment no questions asked. read more

Their pho is my winter staple food! Conveniently located for weekday takeouts. Haven't been able to try out their drinks and smoothies yet, but they look fresh. Will try them out next time when I decide to sit in and eat at the restaurant. read more

Best pho in the area. Generous soup portion and excellent flavor. Wonderful atmosphere, plenty of seating, and very clean restaurant- Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer are on every table! Kind and attentive service! read more

Wow, I couldn't be more disappointed. I came here over a year ago and didn't even remember until I stepped into the restaurant. Unfortunately, I won't forget this time. 1. I ordered a Thai iced tea. I paid $4.75 for a cup of ice. Check the attached picture to see how I was straight-up swindled. 2. I originally wanted bun bo hue, since I always order pho dac biet. However, turns out, when it's busy, they don't serve less popular dishes. So I ended up ordering pho dac biet anyways. The noodles? They barely gave me any; I was still hungry after I was done. The broth? Bland. The meat? Way too tough and not enough variety of cuts. It took me over a minute to chew through each piece. I gave some to my dad who eventually spit it out. A pho place that can't get the pho right? Yikes. 3. From the time we sat down, it was a full hour before my mom was served her food. Given, it was a Friday night, but really, an hour? Overall, NEVER come here on a Friday/Saturday night or whenever it's busy because they might not serve you what you want, but even if they do, it'll take forever, and it probably won't taste good. read more

Excellent Pho. Great summer rolls. The staff is excellent - great timely service. Nice ambiance. Seafood Pho was very tasty. will be back.

Me and my friends come to Phonomenal multiple times every break because the owner and the servers are so friendly and kind and the pho is absolutely amazing. I dream about the pho here when I'm at college. I have also tried the Bun Bo Hue and the summer rolls which are both also really really good. The ambiance is really nice with really peaceful music. We love Phonomenal!!!!! read more

This place is great! I always get the #5 and the broth and meat is absolutely delicious! The owner is also very kind and welcoming.

This place lives up to its name. you know sometimes would you get Pho soup the broth just isn't good enough-- something's little off about it --but at this place it was spot on! everything about it was wonderful : that chicken was cooked as you'd expect, the noodles were the tiny noodles which is different than some pho restaurants, but everything was just well put together. I also had a piece of shrimp that my dining partner got and it was awesome read more

I never knew about this shopping center until looking for a good pho spot. WE FOUND IT. The best pho I have ever had. So many vegetarian options! The broth is even vegetarian which is not the usual. I will 100% be coming back to my new favorite pho spot. Thanks so much to the owner too, such a great guy. read more

I have never been as disappointed as I was the last time I went to Phononenal. The family that made this place so amazing sold the business to new owners and they have ruined it. The pho was probably the blandest soup i've ever eaten. Not even the addition of sate sauce, hoison sauce, and sriracha could help this broth. I question whether they used any seasonings, spices, or bones for the broth stock. The noodles were mediocre as they were undercooked. The meat was lacking as some of it was undercooked while some of it was overcooked. The general consensus from my entire dining party of 8 was that the soup was terrible. It's such a shame to see a place that was the best soup in probably the entire dc area turn into the worst. I will not go back to phonomenal again. I'd rather eat instant ramen than go back here. read more
