"Hole In The Wall", is an understatement. This place is almost invisible. With that being said, I'm so 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.

Unassuming, don't sleep on Bladensburg's Pho Tai 63. Open Thursday through Monday at noon, the parking lot was almost full at 11:50am with people waiting to get inside. It's that good! Dining for lunch with a friend who grew up in Vietnam, we both enjoyed our pho. There are 13 choices and the broth is full of flavor. I order the #4 small and it was plenty of food. It comes full of herbs and a side of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapenos. Service is friendly and quick. The space is no frills, but it adds to the experience!

Pho Tai 63 is still my favorite pho and BBH spot in the DMV. The broths are rich and they stuff your bowl with the meats. The prices are reasonable and you get served quickly here. I stopped by recently on a Sunday and this place was at max capacity.

So we won't be back. Came here to get Phó as my little one is sick. Everything took forever. Then to add insult to injury, I asked for. $4 bowl of extra noodles and was charged for a small bowl of soup for $14. Nope, we won't be back.

I visited this restaurant on a Monday mid day for a to go order after trying to call and use pick up option via door dash. I was told they do not answer the phone if it is busy and it appears that their delivery/pick up apps are not operating if it is busy either. This was quite annoying to discover but I was glad it was open. It's easy to miss as it's situated on a corner of a weird intersection and has a tiny parking lot. The place itself is small and intimate. I was able to place an order quickly. I ordered a large pho and jasmine tea to go, no spring rolls because they contained pork (sad face). I loved that they had a small and large option and went for the large since it was so late I decided to eat some as well. While it's better to eat pho in the restaurant I brought it home to my partner who wasn't feeling well. He enjoyed the pho but was definitely bummed about the spring rolls. We would come back hopefully they can get the door dash and phone situation figured out.

A little on the sweet side for pho broth. Comes steaming hot with fresh veggies. Still prefer the flavor at Pho75 just a little bit more

We were heading to a show at the Publick Playhouse and wanted a quick bite. It's a little hard to find the door from that side, but once inside we were seated and served pretty promptly. The menu is relatively small although it did have a couple of unusual options such as just noodles and broth without meat. The large size was generous, and the broth was tasty, albeit a little sweeter than I prefer. They close at 7 but that may be a result of the local traffic patterns, and they tip automatically on parties of five, but I had no complaints and it was a tasty meal. The prices are a little high for pho but not outrageous.

Definitely a hidden gem for unsuspecting pho seekers in the area. On the outside this place doesn't quite seem like a restaurant as much as it does a corner convenience store however upon entering it certainly resembles the traditional DMV pho restaurant. Every time I visit this place there are patrons dining inside which reassures me this place turns out quality food. I normally purchase their Beef Noodle Soup #4 which is a combination of eye round steak and brisket. The large portion covers you on your hungriest day however the small portion certainly is substantial. The broth is always top quality in flavor. The ordering process is smooth over the phone and in person. What I also appreciate is the good customer service and speed which the orders are completed. Certainly a good pho noodle restaurant and one which you should try.

PHO #13 SHRIMP

omg its the bang for your buck! from quick ordering to time waited && how much food you get! i see why at 1159a when im thinking im pulling up right as they open the parking lot is already packed && folks are inside with their pho bowl getting to it! if you go for the small (which is really a medium) you might as well spend the few extra bucks && get the large! they do offerr table service && its small inside but either way you have wether sitting in or togo youl love it! i got the #13! go figure - 13 is my number! thank you pho tai! might i mention this is my girlfriends favorite place! no where compares !

The broth was tasty but the chicken was dry. The noodles were dry too. Way too much onion came with the order.

I love this place!!! Have eaten here a few times and even have picked up grocery items they have in…read morestock. You really can't go wrong with the pork vermercelli which comes with a yummy salad mix. Tender pieces of seasoned slices of pork. I also tried an order of their fries which, seriously were the best of the best. Light and parsley seasoned with a texture that is divine. I live up the street and no excuse for me not coming in weekly. I've tried all of the pizza joints and other restaurants in town and this place is the freshest and healthiest of the lot. The new Mom owner is ever present and very hands on. They will be here for a longggggggg time!

I think it's notable that this place seems to have taken over a space which was occupied by Mark's…read moreKitchen; while the urban restaurant business roils, that restaurant was there for over thirty years, so it is certainly a tough act to follow. This place offers Vietnamese cuisine, with a menu that goes a bit beyond the standards and has some decent vegan options, which is essential given that this is a notoriously hippie neighborhood. I found many people talking about having or not having reservations, but I managed to get in early. They had a slight happy hour discount on rolls, and Vietnamese rolls are invariably great, for reasons that include taro root, but here the roll was really a platter with multiple vegetables; since they came out freshly fried, I actually did a bit of a lettuce wrap technique to be able to break apart and eat them. Ordering a tofu vermicelli bowl got me a good but not great rendition; the cucumbers are not to my taste and the sauce they had to drizzle over it, while fish-free, was a bit sweet and not to my taste either. The portion size wasn't huge for the price, but fortunately I wasn't starving. Having said that, they also had a small market section with imported goods and house sauces and pickled vegetables that looked nice, and the fresh herbal flavors I received certainly made a strong case for me to come back and try something different.

Oh, this is pho real my regular pho spot, no joke…read more I didn't review this spot for so long but I can't keep this to myself anymore since they are my no.1 since I moved to MD in 2021. I have since then had sooo many different pho places, even the ones people highly recommended here in Wheaton... Nope. This spot is better. I come here usually on a cold weekday, or whatever reason I just need my pho fix. To me, this spot is the standard of a good pho broth, the perfect noodles, and just simply the perfect ambient/ vibe for pho. I am writing this in the summer but looking at the photos again make me wanna go have my pho again! It's so good. I am not sure if I need to convince you with this review at all, just look at them photos! Doesn't make you want pho? Well, at least I do. And even if you don't go there... I will. So no worries lol. I LOVE YOU PHO REAL ;-) Please stay in business forever. I will be there (soon)!

Pro: moderate size parking lot, friendly staff, good food…read more Con: price. Ever since pho nam in Gaithersburg went down hill in quality, I've been on the search for a new pho restaurant. After looking online I found pho real with many positives reviews on yelp and google. Upon enter I was seated quickly for lunch time on a Wednesday. Interior wise a bit outed but run by a local family. I decided to order the large pho Tai. Food came out quick and I always tell people that you can tell if the pho is authentic by the taste of the broth. The broth was rich and flavorful with decent portion size. They didn't skimp on the garnishment, the bean sprout portion was big. All in all, had a good meal here and would recommend anyone to come and try this place.
