THEY CHANGED OWNERS AND DID NOT ADVERTISE IT. I AM SO SO DISAPPOINTED. 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. read more

"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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pho Tai 63 - Small pho dac biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

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. read more

Pho tasted pretty good! You get to pick a number eight and you can add as much different kinds of meat if you want and the broth was really good. I would be back again. read more

This review is coming from somebody who is 100% Vietnamese: Do not sleep on the Pho Tai 63 in Maryland because it is SOOOOO flavorful... Dare I say TOO flavorful? Ha ha, no such thing!! The broth was sweet, umami, and packed a punch on first sip! I came here for lunchtime on Monday and I ordered the large special combination Pho bowl. I also ordered a side of beef brisket for an additional $3.99. The amount and portion that they give you was huge and so worth your money. In total I spent around $20 for a gigantic lunch and it was honestly the best lunch that I've ever had. There's service was great-- It was quick and efficient, no complaints there and had ample seating and I was seated very promptly. The only constructive feedback I would have is to make the tendons a little softer. I love eating chunks of beef tendons and I love it more when it's soft, tender, and melts in your mouth. This is a really cute small hole in the wall that definitely delivers flavor! I have been trying out different pho shops around the DMV area, and after hitting this spot, I am afraid to try any others because I think I'm having my heart set on this one. I definitely wanna come back here and try their other dishes, and I'm gonna take all my families and friends here. Bravo for delivering bold authentic Vietnamese flavors!! I approve --------------------- My Star Rating Scale: 5 Stars: Excellent--- Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will come back 4 Stars: Good--- I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still come back 3 Stars: Okay--- It was okay, I didn't hate it but didn't like it either; would not voluntarily come back 2 Stars: Bad--- I did not like it, I would not come back 1 Star: Horrible--- Absolutely hated it, I would not come back here read more

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. read 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. read more

Pho Tai 63 - Large number 7 (steak and meatballs) - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

I love you guys for years I have been coming here and I think others have caught on. Please don't forget your attention to quality while hiring new people. I got my regular today and the cilantro was wilted and the beef tasted off. read more

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

This place is a hidden gem! Stumbled upon it while pregnant and wanting some noodles. Go! You will NOT be disappointed. Service is fast. Food is DELISH! Several TVs showing good movies & nice music playing in the background. No need to be dressy. Pho the best I've had so far. read more

really bad customer service, every time the I order food they always miss something. Bad attitude.

Their pho id flavorful! ! Small location, busy! But pho is on point! Their pick up option is available but it's a hit or miss. They will not answer when they are busy but when they do maybe 20 min wait. read more

My absolute favorite pho spot . It's a hole in the wall kind of spot but it is veryyy clean & has a great vibe for dining w/ others or solo .Whether I'm dining in or taking it to go it's always perfection!!!!!! The food NEVER misses & the customer service is outstanding! read more

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. read more

Was very tasty Pho, looking for a place near work to eat pho! It hit the spot. Usual pho set up small restaurant

Pho Tai 63 - Shrimp Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

I am a creature of habit. When I like something, I tend to order the exact same thing every single time. When I go to pho tao 63, i always get the number 1 and two egg roles. The number 1 is pho noodles, onions, parsley, and spices. The broth is BEEF based. The egg roles are pork. This establishment does NOT have vegetarian options. They are ALWAYS nice, fast, and reasonable priced. The food is fresh and not heavy with oils. I loooove this place so much that I wanted to have a birthday gathering here but my daughter told me I had to find another favorite place because this one is hers. It is woman owned. I love it! It's small and always full. I think maybe 7-8 tables. read more

The food and service was amazing. Our server Tammy was attentive and accommodating. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner! Im hooked!! read more

One of the top Pho places I've been to EVER. The moment I walked in, I knew this was gonna be a hit based on the aroma alone. I got the all meats Pho (except the meatballs) with extra jalapeños. The broth was so flavorful!! I almost didn't want to stop even though I was getting full. The meat to noodle ratio made sense. I would have liked more tripe but that's just a personal preference. Service was quick and friendly. Despite being a smaller restaurant, they do a good job of getting people in and out without compromising on quality. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Pho Tai 63 - PHO #13 SHRIMP - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

Ugh I hate leaving bad reviews I really do. BUT I am so upset and disappointed.... Well first off, I couldn't eat anything but I brought my partner, dad, 2 daughters and my dad's friend because they wanted Pho & this spot had such great reviews I thought why not? Well... we ordered the Pho with only Veg, the Pho with beef, a side of the chicken egg rolls, and a plate with just rice a fried egg and veggies. Everything is made with beef broth that's why I didn't get anything, I did try the rice and the veggies (cucumber & tomato) and gave my baby the same thing. Whatever cool.... Well on our way home I notice my youngest daughter throwing up in her car seat all the food (rice and veg) we fed her... like EVERYTHING. So immediately I'm like she must have a stomach bug or something. She went on to throw up every last drop.. that same night TMI.... I got Diarrhea, my oldest daughter said water was coming out of her butt... basically everyone was sick by the next day! Mind you we all had different things. And we didn't eat together before so I know it wasn't something we had prior. The service was fine, I know the girl at the register did her best & we were treated by the older Asian cook who brought us our food which was also kind... but at the end of the day kindness doesn't make the restaurant the food does... yall im disgusted bc how did we all get sick from this food.. anyways , please be careful eating out here... the place is clearly a whole in the walll (which sometimes is a hidden gem) but I don't know if it was an off day or what.. all I know is we will not be returning! read more

The pho was phenomenal, great portions and very tasty. Definitely one of the best places in the dmv. Came out fast and service was excellent. Definitely a hidden gem, only downside is they don't have summer rolls but 100% recommend! read more

Pho Tai 63 - #10 eye round steak and tripe - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

The best pho I've tasted in the DMV. The only problem I have with this place is that it's not close to my home.

I ordered from this restaurant because I was feeling under the weather and I'm so happy that I did. I ordered a large chicken and beef soup. Using the delivery app, the order arrived in less than an hour and was still warm upon receipt. I didn't have any experience with the ambience because this was a delivery, but I received my order and everything was packed well and the portion size was enough for me to get 3 to 4 meals (if you're ordering a large). I would order from this restaurant again! read more

Pho Thai 63 is a diamond in the rough and when I say the rough, smiles. I would never have thought such a nice Pho spot was on this corner; directly across from the Public Playhouse. Reminder Toya, don't judge a book by the cover! It feels cool to hear about these places word of mouth instead of on the internet, because this lets me know I am talking to the right people about food. I kept it simple for my first visit, #8 Pho Tai Nam Gau, Beef noodle soup with eye round steak, well-done flank & fatty brisket. Served with Pho veggies and an order of crispy pork rolls. Took my food to go, the soup and crispy rolls are GREAT, one of the best Pho spots in the area! Nice selection of sliced meats, savory broth, all good stuff. Customer service great, can take 15-20 minutes I recommend calling ahead. In my case I hopped over to MOMs in Hyattsville and picked up a few things, then came back. The place is clean and totally a nice spot to eat in. Also, so much more than soup, they also have Steamed Rice Plates with pork chops, chicken, and Chicken/Porkchop combos, these are rice bowls with fresh veggies. So much to explore and I will be coming back over here soon. read more

I would've never ventured here if it wasn't for YELP! this hidden gem on the corner of 202 is full of yummy goodness. I called to order pick up and didn't want to venture too far and be in any weekend traffic. When I arrived my order was ready and so happy we gave this place a try. My veggie soup was delicious. Flavorful and filling. My husband shared his steak pho was also tender and delicious. We will definitely travel back here for our Pho fix! I wish they had veggie spring rolls or summer rolls on the menu! That's they only thing I was missing... read more

Have you ever had an hankering for some Pho? I have and when it lasts for two days, it is time for me to get some. I have tried other restaurants in the area, and haven't been too happy either with the taste or the size of the entrée, super happy to have come on Yelp to find this place. It was easy to order online- I ran a quick errand and placed the order on the way, despite my getting their early, my order was ready. I got the small number 12 sans tripe and tendon, plus an order of egg rolls. The place is in my opinion an awkward place. Kinda smack dab in the middle of 450 right across from the Publik Playhouse. Despite parking being right in the front, entry is on the side of 450. The parking lot can be a bit cumbersome if you are trying to enter and another car is trying to leave on 202. Enough about parking...what about the food?!! It. Was. Great. There has been a long time coming where I haven't needed to add anything to my pho broth. I mean I did, cause I like spice, but it wasn't a necessity. I am so used to running out of noodles, or meats, but that did not happen in this case. This portion was so HUGE, that I was unable to finish it all, and this never happens. You have a choice to have some of the meats cooked before hand, or raw- your choice. Everything was just....yum. The spring rolls weren't fried too hard, and they had such a great taste. The sauces that came with, were the perfect compliment. This will be my go to Pho spot when that hankering arises in my belly. read more

It's definitely a dive that you should try if you like Vietnamese food. The pho is delish and they never disappoint. The egg rolls are tasty and fried to perfection. FYI, they close on Wednesday! Nothing fancy but great food! read more

Definitely highly recommend getting the bun bo hue however there is no pork feet or pig blood added onto it like most bun bo hue. The flavors was very rich and flavorful with a hint of spice. The wait time is a bit longer than expected 20/30 minutes. The restaurant is a bit small with only a few tables. I do wish they had more items on the menu such as Viet coffee ! read more

Pho Tai 63 - Vietnamese Near Me - Bladensburg, Maryland

Delicious. Authentic. The small bowl was a good portion for me. A person with a heavier appetite may want to get the large. If you are dining with others I would order one side of noodles. You will always have more broth. The pork eggrolls were delicious. Parking is a little weird. This place gets busy. Especially with Togo orders. There are a few small tables inside. And the bathrooms were clean. I'm definitely returning read more

On our way home from visiting Wash DC, we stopped at this place for dinner. It was conveniently located right off the BW Parkway (I-295), in Bladensburg. The restaurant is located at an intersection, in a small old building. It looked like a converted gas station. The parking lot is very small, maybe 10-12 spaces. Inside, the dinning room is also small with limited seating. People that came in after us had to wait for a table. The menu is very simple. The only appetizer was cha gio or egg roll. The entrees included pho, bun Bo hue, and 2 rice dishes (chicken or pork chop). The pho came in 3 sizes: children, small, and large. I got a large #5 pho tai nam. Both my wife and daughter got the bun Bo hue. The food came out hot after a short 5 minute wait. Both noodle soups came with a good amount of noodles and meat. Both broths were flavorful and authentic tasting. My wife was impressed with their bun Bo hue, noting that it was better than her own homemade version ( which I never heard her say before). We left this place happy and full. read more
