    #1 and #15 with extra meatballs and vinegar onions
    Chris J.

    I've eaten pho at countless rest across many states, and without question, Pho Real is the best. The broth is clean, rich, and full of depth, and the meats are always fresh and generously portioned. Their summer rolls and spring rolls are also outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What really sets Pho Real apart is not just the food, but the people. The owner and staff are friendly, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. Hands down, Pho Real is our go to spot. I could honestly eat here every single day, every single meal!! Did I mentioned how clean it is? It's always spotless.

    So my niece boyfriend Austin had taken me to this humble Vietnamese restaurant it was ok. Ambiance was traditional and service was fast as usual just like most Vietnamese restaurants to delivering pho. I like how I ordered extra meat and they separated that. Most Vietnamese restaurants don't do that. The spring (or summer rolls) where good too. I didn't care that much for fried egg rolls but it was a meh ok it's a good humble family restaurant. Would go back if I lived nearby but would not drive far for it

    Pho tai and pho dac biet

    My neighborhood pho place! My family and I have been going here since I was young. Ran by Vietnamese people so you know you are getting authentic pho. The service is fast and efficient. Restaurant is clean and pretty spacious. Lots of parking available in the lot. My go to order is a small bowl of pho tai (beef round eye) and my husband likes pho dac biet (special pho). As appetizers we usually grab summer rolls and/or egg rolls

    Pho place with lots of options for toppings! Has the vibe of any Vietnamese place I've been to: causal basic tables and tableware. They also have vegetarian pho with tofu. The food came out hot and quick. Came with the classic toppings of bean sprouts, peppers, lime, and basil. More toppings were provided upon request. We got the large portion and it was more than enough food. Delicious!

    Beef pho with meatballs added!

    Great find! Arrived in the area too early to check in to my hotel and found this little gem. Perfect day for pho. It's in a small shopping center, lots of parking available. It's small but they are super friendly! I ordered a large beef pho and added some meatballs on the side, the broth was flavorful and everything tasted great! I also got a Vietnamese coffee which was strong and delicious. Super fast service and the people there are nice and efficient! Highly recommend it if you're in the area.

    Chin Nam - Flank Steak and Brisket w/ Noodles
    Isabella L.

    I had the Chin Nam - Flank Steak, Brisket and Noodles. The broth was robust and the meat was thinly sliced but packed with flavor. There were plenty of fresh toppings to add to it, like bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapeños and a side of lime wedges. This would be a great place to come on those cold, cold winter days.

    Our favorite pho place near our area. This is the only decent pho place close by. We always liked their pho. The soup is great. The prices are decent. Probably changed throughout the years. They also offer bubble teas with different flavors. The people who owns the place are pretty nice. Especially the lady who gave our orders. She was very sweet and she thanked us for coming.

    summer roll
    dan g.

    Fast vegan pho! Tasty with good fresh flavor! They slice their jalapenos so they teally impart some heat! It's tucked inside a weird little plaza but that's how it is around here I reckon. They also had tofu summer rolls, glad they offer them but would pass next time probably.

    The food was served quickly but the soup wasn't hot enough to cook the raw meat throughly.

    They are closed on Tuesdays now. I saw a sign when I was there yesterday (Wednesday).

    Is there a manager number I can contact? Left my purse inside and really need to get it but they're closed

Ordering was so easy and simplified. You can just go up to the cashier to place your order and pick a table to sit down. We enjoyed our specialty drinks while waiting for our food. The fruit teas with boba and jelly were awesome. It had a nice sweetness with delicious jelly. Our food came out quickly. We started with fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. There were a lot of large shrimps. The Golden crepe was huge with perfect crunchiness. This was perfect size to share with a few people. The Grilled Pork vermicelli was delicious. It was perfectly grilled with flavorful grilled onions. The P1 pho was yummy goodness with a hint of sweetness of the broth. The S4. Hue Spicy Lemon Grass Soup was good. I expected it to be very spicy which I was a bit concern. But it was a medium to mild spiciest. So I still have my taste buds to try the Banh Mi. We had B4 Grilled Pork and B10 Special Bahn Mi (so we can try the different meat). Like the menu stated the bread was freshly made with perfect crunchiness. The Bahn Mi were flavorful! It was perfectly balance with meat and vegetables. I'm definitely coming back.

Broth was very rich and flavorful definitely not salty as most places over salt their pho. Service is 10! Im definitely come back and try their other popular items.

    THEY CHANGED OWNERS AND DID NOT ADVERTISE IT. I AM SO SO DISAPPOINTED…read more When this place first opened, it quickly became my #1 spot because it was really the only pho place in the area but it USED TO be so good! The family with the girl and boy that ran the front is not there anymore. So if you used to come here like me, I'm doing you all a favor and letting you guys know this place is TERRIBLE now that they switched owners. Not only that but much more expensive for a poor quality imitation of what this place used to be under the OLD owners. Small bowl is more than $18 now!!! Insane. I got a small bowl asked for half noodles they didn't do that and only had fatty brisket in it even though I got #11 which included also tendon and flank. YALL THIS PHO WAS COLD. The temperature was as if someone left hot tea out for 30-40 minutes. No more piping hot clear good broth, this broth from the new owners is MURKY AND BROWN and cold/lukewarm. I didn't say anything but just know I will NEVER come back its simply not worth it. Pickled onions was drowning in a weirdly sweet vinaigrette. Go elsewhere for better pho. I feel like these new people know they are not as good as the old people so they didn't tell anyone about the owner switch and are basically tricking people into coming and paying more money for worse pho riding on the coattails of a different owners reputation and I feel weirdly upset about that, like I've been tricked. If you guys used to come here all the time with the old owners then you will understand how upsetting this is. This place survived through the pandemic in the middle of PG that's how good they were. Pillar of the community just gone now. Also they won an award for being one of the best woman owned businesses but it's not woman owned anymore and the new owners haven't changed anything and they still have that sticker up even though it's not a woman owned business anymore. Like I said they are just riding the coattails of the previous owners.

    "Hole In The Wall", is an understatement. This place is almost invisible. With that being said, I'm…read moreso happy we found this spot! We were starving. It was our last day visiting fam in MD and we wanted to get some grub before the trip back to NY. There's a regular VN spot we frequent whenever we visit and it seemed to be closed so we didn't want to risk a drive out. We found Pho Tai 63 and called ahead to make sure they were open. Once that was done, we took the 20 minute drive to the restaurant and placed our order. The parking lot is SCANT. There are minimal spots. In this particular day (Black Friday), the place was packed, save for one spot and we got it. Upon entry, their dining room was full to capacity. We ordered some pho (that's all they have and I'm not mad - was a l'il disappointed at the time but we'll get to that). It too some time to get our food, much longer than expected, but I was not mad because there's definitely a reason for that. We brought every back home. Each pho dish was enough to feed two people my dad and brother ended up showing up at my sister's house the same time we got back. We had enough to feed everyone. The food is FRESH! the broths are clear and full of depth. You can make out the star anise and other herbs and spices. I split the shrimp pho with my brother since he doesn't eat meat. I got my sister the brisket pho. My son ordered the special pho and split that with my dad. Hubby also got a brisket pho and I got my daughter the chicken pho. The broths differ but each taste amazing. All of the pho came with the usual suspects: Thai basil, bean sprouts, hoisin sauce, lime and hot sauce. The accompaniments were plentiful so having extra mouths to feed worked out in our favor. My next trip south, I might have to do a taste test with both locations and see which I prefer. I wish they offered bahn mi sandos but honestly, with the caliber of pho they're dishing out, they are reigning supreme at the moment. Sometimes, it pays to focus on one thing and be REALLY good at it.
