Seems like a lot of mixed reviews at this place. I've been eating pho since the first one opened at Pho 75 and the popular cafeteria-style Pho Hoa, one of the first franchises. For awhile, Pho 75 has been my favorite, and I've tried all of the pho spots around here including West Coast. I wasn't sure what to expect of Pho Thin, I've had Northern Style in San Francisco but not here. I think a lot of the complaints that I see here are that it's not authentic Northern Style, I know that Northern Style is more broth based and sometimes they don't allow for any condiments. So whenever I start off with a new pho bowl, I always first eat some spoonfuls of the broth, nothing else. The broth here is deep, rich, and complex. It's soulful, and flavorful enough that you can enjoy just the soup itself. The wider noodles were soft and good. I got half noodles because I don't like too much carbs, and I prefer more broth ratio, and it worked out well for me. The beef was also high quality and tasty. I got the Thin Signature so it included a mix. I did use the hoisin sauce, and also the pickled garlic/jalapeno condiments, and it did add flavor to the broth. It doesn't need it, and what I usually like to do is go with just the broth the first half of the bowl, and kick in condiments and flavor for the bottom half, changing it mid-way. I really enjoyed this pho bowl and will be back. read more

Not your run-of-the-mill pho. This is northern, Hanoi-style phở, with thicker noodles (not the thin pho noodles you usually get) and a ton of flavor from the beef and garlic. No heavy anise flavor here. I got the P2 - Prime Rib -- absolutely delicious -- and the P1 - Phở Đặc Biệt, with meatball, tripe, and all the good stuff. Also tried the mung bean pandan coconut drink. It was a little grainy at first, but once the ice melted, the pandan flavor absorbed much better. And the coconut drink? They literally give you the whole coconut, so you can spoon out the fresh coconut meat from the inside. Hydrate yourself! Personally, I like this style better than regular pho. Sue me. read more

So I've been here twice. Once in their opening week and my second time was today, 9/2/26. If you haven't already read from other reviews, they have a slightly wider rice noodle than your typical pho rice noodles. I don't mind that. However. I do mind that these wide rice noodles are prepared in advance and when they appear in my stew all chopped up into small pieces, that tells me all that I need to know (they prepared it in advance and the noodles stuck together so they chopped it up w scissors to serve). The first visit they weren't lazy like this, but now? Look at the pictures. They're just small cut up noodles. I don't want to be eating noodles with a spoon, I want to eat noodles with my chopsticks. On a good note, their chicken broth is delicious so that's why I was here. I did leave over 70% of the cut up noodles in my bowl and just had most of the broth and chicken. The beef pho is a little too fatty/oily for me. So if you don't want to eat your cut-up pho noodles with a big spoon, then don't come here. read more

One of the newest pho spots in the DMV that serves Northern-style pho. I am a bit of a pho snob but actually really enjoyed the pho here! The broth here is richer and has a strong garlic flavor which is not typical of pho (but I love it!). The noodles here are thicker than normal and more reminiscent of the noodles you would get in Vietnam. Be prepared for a whole lot of onions as they definitely load it up. Very different than you typical pho but it is really tasty! read more

Finally made it to Pho Thin 13. My 18-year-old daughter gave it a 7/10, while my husband and I both landed at 6/10. We were surprisingly consistent. First impression: spacious! High ceilings, plenty of room between tables, clean and comfortable. I really liked the openness of the restaurant. You can actually sit and have a conversation without feeling like you're sharing dinner with the table next to you. The decor is nice and modern, although fairly generic for newer restaurants these days, wood acoustic/slat panels, modern lighting, neutral tile, wood furniture and oversized food photography. Everything is pleasant and nicely put together, but it wasn't a "whoa, this is some crazy expensive commercial buildout" moment. The sheer size and openness of the space impressed me more than the design. Now, the pho. I knew we might be in trouble from the minute we walked in because something was missing: the pho waft. You know what I mean? You know that unmistakable smell when you walk into a really good pho restaurant? Before you even see a bowl, you can smell the broth and spices in the air. It hits your nose and you immediately know where you are. I didn't get that here. Unfortunately, that ended up being a pretty good preview of the bowl. The broth was bland and lacked the depth and fragrance I look for in pho. Even worse, it came out lukewarm. Pho broth should be piping hot, especially since you're about to throw in herbs, bean sprouts and everything else that immediately starts cooling it down. The meat itself was nice and tender, but overall the entire bowl was lacking flavor. I kept doctoring mine: lime, herbs, Sriracha, repeat... trying to wake it up. At one point I was actually looking around for fish sauce. It wasn't one of the automatic table condiments, and I didn't feel strongly enough about it to ask. To me, that says something. I like adding lime, herbs and Sriracha to pho because I want to, not because I'm trying to build the flavor the broth should have brought to the table in the first place. Then there were the noodles. Those were excellent. 10/10. Great texture, delicious and easily the standout of the entire meal. The meat gets an 8/10 for tenderness and quality, even though it could have used more flavor. So we ended up in a strange place: fantastic noodles, tender meat, a very nice spacious restaurant...and a bowl of pho that somehow still tasted flat. I debated between 3 and 4 stars because there were definitely things they did well. Nothing was terrible. But pho is ultimately about the broth, and Northern Virginia has way too many good pho options for me to overlook bland, lukewarm broth. The noodles almost carried the whole bowl. Almost. read more

New northern style pho in the area, must visit because it is fantastic! Garlicky, tender, and fresh noodles The pho is good, quality ingredients and solid size. I typically drink all the broth in my pho but I just couldn't finish and asked for the remaining broth to go (it was just TOO GOOD to leave on the table)! The noodles were slippery and perfectly soft. Make sure you add the garlic slices (in the jar on the table) as it was enhance the already close to perfect broth. The green onion and fresh beef keeps you coming back for bite after bite. The restaurant is big, there are plenty of tables but questionable whether it will be enough because it was quite full when I went for a late Sunday lunch. The ambiance feels communal as you hear the buzzing voices of all the diners. Service was fine, nothing crazy but accommodating. read more

100 degrees out but mom wanted pho as she has moved away from her viet falls church neighborhood and only nearby for dr appt. Tried this new pho place. Nice modern decor - unlike most hole-in-wall pho places. Menu limited to pho and a couple of other dishes - chicken mien/noodles (not available) & shaky beef. Sigh was hoping for variety offerings- something more refreshing, had to go with small chicken pho. Mom got combo pho which only comes in large. I'm not a pho connoisseur, it was fine. Mom enjoyed so overall success. read more

4.5 stars We ordered the egg rolls and summer rolls for appetizer. The summer rolls were alright, but the egg rolls were delicious! The pho special includes everything like their wok-seared garlic ribeye, fatty brisket, flank, tendons, and meatballs. The broth was fatty with minimal flavor. The spare rib pho actually had a different broth that was much more flavorful. The wok-seared garlic ribeye makes this pho place stand out from others. The quality of the beef here is also very good. They give you a good amount of meats/toppings as well. The pho noodles were thick and had a nice bite to them. Just beware that this is not your authentic Northern pho because it is catered to the audience here in Northern Virginia. However, it is still delicious! I think it's worth the higher price ($21/bowl). Service was quick and ambiance is casual. read more

Finally got to try this place to see what the hype was all about, and it did not disappoint! Note, this is a Viet northern style place. For a Friday night, it was packed but luckily they had a table for us--the restaurant is huge! Food was good. Started off with Gỏi Cuốn Tôm (Summer Rolls) and Chả Giò Tôm Thịt (Crispy Spring Rolls)--was a bit disappointed they didn't offer shrimp AND pork in the summer rolls, only shrimp. They weren't offering any of the "entrees" items, just mainly the Phos. Tried the Phở Sườn Bò (Short Rib) and Phở Tái Bò Viên (Rare Ribeye & Meatballs)--portions are generous, lots of meat and flavorful broth. The rare ribeye was super tender too, I really liked it! Doesn't look like they have a bar and I didn't see any alcoholic beverages on the menu--so opted for the Dừa Tươi Nguyên Trái (Fresh Coconut), was refreshing. read more

I ordered the signature wok-seared garlic beef pho, and it was a great introduction to Northern Vietnamese/Hanoi-style pho. The noodles are thicker and chewier than the "usual" pho noodles. This garlic broth is rich and flavorful, with a subtle hint of black pepper. I got to try the spare rib pho with their regular broth, which isn't as flavorful as the garlic one. Overall the broth is a bit on the fattier side. read more

My friends and I really enjoyed our experience at Pho Thin 13. We stopped by on a busy Friday. Our party of 8 got seated quickly. First thing I noticed was the high ceilings and all of the employees wearing proper uniform. The other thing that stood out was the clean custom wood condiment station. The station includes garlic and green peppers. Highly recommend adding them into your soup. I tried the filet mignon and the Thin special. Every broth was rich and not as fatty as your traditional southern broths. The aromatics and flavors were on point. I'll definitely be back to try their other broth specials and traditional Vietnamese appetizers. read more

Also got a cup of Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk to finish the meal. My server was quick and friendly. read more

I was really craving hot broth and noodles last Friday evening, so I treated myself to dinner out. Pho Thin 13 Lo Duc is a relatively new pho spot in the area (though not in Eden Center!) known for its Northern-style pho, which is much less common than the Southern-style pho found in nearly every plaza around here. I heard it can get pretty busy, but fortunately, I was seated immediately upon arrival, and the server took my order minutes after. P1 THIN SPECIAL - 20.95 This is their house special pho, which comes with a variety of beef cuts like fatty brisket, flank, tendon, and meatballs. Northern-style pho is different -- this was topped generously with crispy fried garlic with wide, flat rice noodles (similar to Cantonese-style). The broth had an intense garlicky flavor -- none of the typical star anise, cinnamon, and other spices in sight. I enjoyed that it tasted different, and it was refreshing to eat this style of pho. The beef was stir-fried generously with garlic to get this deep flavor. However, I got a bit tired of the garlic-forward broth pretty quickly. I felt like it was more garlicky than savory (from the beef), which became too overpowering. Overall, the portion of noodles were small, but good amount of meat. Pretty pricy for a bowl of pho, so I probably won't go back any time soon. I'm not opposed to ordering pho here in the future -- I genuinely loved the wide, flat noodles which were perfectly chewy. read more

Pho Thin 13 Lo Duc - P1 Thin Special - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Famous Vietnam pho! I have been seeing so many people talk about this place so I had to come try it. This place was hopping. They have seating to sit quite a number of people, but when we came in around 7PM, it was still pretty packed. They have seating on two levels. The aesthetic is pretty simple. There are some pictures of the pho on the walls and some TV screens, but nothing too fancy. This place is known for their garlic pho. I ordered their P2 special which had sautéed beef with garlic. It was a good pho and the more you consume and drink down, the more garlic-y it gets. Which may not vote will some people, but I really like garlic so I was fine with it. The noodles were a nice good flat wide noodle but definitely were falling apart and hard to grasp with just the chopsticks towards the end. The broth was quite good and I feel like had a lot of flavor. Post dinner I didn't feel like I needed to chug a bottle of water so maybe a little less MSG. I absolutely loved the sides of pickled peppers or pickled sliced garlic that you could add to your bowl. Pretty expensive, with tax and tip, it turned out to be ~$25 for a bowl of pho. Overall, a good bowl of pho I would maybe try the P1 next time or just a normal pho instead of their specials. read more

P3 short rib - short rib itself lost its flavor I think to the broth and was a little chewy. Just ok. The other meat inside though was very try soft and yummy but I wish they were less clumped up and as individual strips instead for better texture. I love the more handmade style noodles that are soft and bouncy but unfortunately they seemed slightly soggy and had a lot of small broken pieces instead of long nice ones. The broth was light but flavorful overall, it doesn't have that signature php spice flavor but does have a nice beefy taste! 3/5 Thin special or signature- same as the other pho but with more garlic and salty flavor! 2.75/5 read more

The broth tasted rich and I highly recommend adding the fried bread dough sticks (additional menu item) and pickled garlic to the soup to give it more flavor. If you like spice, also add the japapenos! read more

Big fan of the combos. It's a really nice intro to northern style pho if you've never had it before (I hadn't before this). It's rich in garlicky flavor and the broth feels light, yet hearty, & full of nutrients lol. I'm not the biggest fan of the thinner flat noodles but after having it twice now, they're growing on me. Service is good, they're super friendly and accommodating to us needing more time to read over the menu. Ambiance is cute, though, their photo decor looks AI lol. Their stuff is a bit on the pricier side comparatively but I think it's worthwhile every once in a while. read more

I was intrigued by a Hà Nội phở place in the DMV for something different, but the price of the meal and my pickiness will delay my return. I got the phở tái lăn truyền thống (Thìn Signature: Wok-Seared Ribeye with Garlic). I found the broth was not simple and clear at all which I thought was more northern style. They did get the more savory broth down though. It was rather heavy due to the wok seared ribeye and the remnants of its fat and oil adding a thickness I am not fond of. I like the thick noodles, but I think it was slightly overcooked as the strands were broken and reminded me more of bánh canh without the chew. The spring onions were abundant. There was a plate of mung bean sprouts, thai basil, lime, and jalapeño but I believe traditionally for the northern style, those are not typical but you can skip out or add depending on how you like it. Same goes for the sriracha and hoisin. It was fun pairing the giò cháo quẩy (fried donut/crullers) with the phở, but I wish the pieces weren't cut so small. Due to the soft opening there are a few menu items not available such as fruit juices (I had tried to order the passionfruit juice) as well as the fried taro. An interesting experience but I will hope more Hà Nội phở places will open up so I can compare them to one another rather than what I am familiar with. I do want to admit that I had forgotten about the garlic vinegar and chili, but that wouldn't have made a difference in the broth thickness or the soft & short noodles. read more

I kept hearing so much about Pho Thin on social media, so had to stop by when I was in the area. I visited during their soft opening, so the menu and hours were limited. I expected to have a long wait, but we were seated pretty quickly. The hostess was so kind to seat us in an area that could accommodate our stroller. This restaurant is much bigger than most pho restaurants I've visited, so there are lots of tables and even a bar area. The space is clean, large, and echos a bit, so noise feels amplified. I ordered the signature pho and also tried the fried bread sticks and egg rolls. The pho broth is delicious. The broth and style of pho noodles are different from what I usually have in Nova. The broth was piping hot and very savory, and the noodles are wide. The pho was especially good if you add the pickled garlic and peppers that are available at each table. The egg rolls were good, but the filling was a little dry. I do like that they used the rice paper I'll for the egg rolls skin. The fried breadsticks were ok - Interesting to dip in the pho, but didn't do much for me. The service was excellent. Staff regularly came to check on us and were happy to get us anything we needed. I would definitely return again, and look forward to trying their full menu. read more

A new pho spot in town featuring the wider Northern Vietnamese style noodles. The food was good overall, though nothing particularly standout, and the prices felt a bit expensive for what was offered. The service could use some refinement. We visited during the soft opening, and only the smaller dining area was open instead of the larger window seating section. While I understand they may have been limiting seating during the opening phase, using the larger area would have made the space feel less cramped. The staff also seemed to be struggling with managing the flow of service. We had to raise our hands several times to request items, which made us feel somewhat overlooked. Despite the large overall space, the layout does not seem very accommodating for strollers or larger groups. read more

I really wanted to try this place because i had never had a Northern Style kind of Pho before. I am severely disappointed. I do NOT recommend coming! I got the P6 (Rare Ribeye, Fatty Brisket, Flank), now i understand that rare beef is indeed rare, but i also do know that when I've been given rare beef it cooks in the soup because the broth is HOT and the meat is thin. I noticed that there were two giant clumps of meat in the broth and thought it strange. As i began to eat it i thought the meat was chewy and tasted strange. Upon further looking the meat had almost binded together and honestly tasted BAD. My friend took a bite and said he was immediately sick / nauseous that the meat tasted past expiration date. That really ruined the meal for me and quite frankly the whole experience. The servers are every where and no where at the same time. It was a little tough/long to get the check. The things i did enjoy: *Pickled Garlic & Peppers on the side, they had a sweet brine to them not too vinegary it was refreshing? *How the green onion was cut and the amount of it in the soup! Great texture and went well with the meat (the edible one) *The restaurants' design. It's large with high ceilings and airy. Do the pros outweigh the cons? Absolutely not. read more

Oh My Goodness. I do not think I've ever started a yelp review this way. I was blown away by Pho Thin. I absolutely love pho and could eat it every day. After hearing the hype, I went to try Pho Thin and was not disappointed. What makes Pho Thin unique is their method of stir frying the beef. I questioned this at first but realized this method adds a ton of flavor. I would definitely not go at peak times right now because they usually have an hour wait. This is understandable due to their soft opening phase. I went on a Sunday morning and had maybe a 10 minute wait. Inside was definitely a bit more fancy than your typical pho restaurant and was very clean. I have been craving it and will definitely be coming back soon with more friends. read more

We came in around 7pm on a Friday and we were seated immediately. After we ordered, our pho came out shortly after our appetizer. We ordered the tofu rolls as an appetizer, the thin special and the thin signature. The tofu lacked seasoning in my opinion but the peanut sauce on the side was tasty. I've never tried this style of pho but I'm glad I did. The broth was rich and flavorful. I loved the banana peppers that are provided on the table. It adds a unique flavor profile to my pho.

A new and different (Northern style) pho spot. Still fairly new and therefore, several areas to improve upon. The pho comes out not boiling hot. Which is fine but any rare meat doesn't cook properly in the broth. Per the staff, noodles are made fresh daily and therefore that's why the noodles are in child-size pieces. Not sure fresh noodles are chopped up like this anywhere. The kitchen seems to be challenged to keeping up - expect a wait. Note - bean sprouts come steamed. On the positives, the meats are much better quality than normal pho restaurants. The stir fried beef special was unique. There was a decent amount of veggies in the bowl, but not as much as traditionally in Vietnam. The broth tastes clean but flavorful. Separately, like the bumpin house music playing! Word is certainly already out. We dined on a Tuesday night and it was packed. read more

I have been waiting to try out this place after hearing it will open in VA. This is their soft opening weekend and I'm surprised how busy it is. First it took about 30 minutes to get a table. I really like how open and airy the restaurant is. There are plenty of tables here. The staffs here all wear black so it's easier to ask them for help if you need. There is a person that take your order with the portable device. They only offer pho and a couple of appetizers only. No Entrees yet. As expected, it did take awhile to get the pho. So you will need to be patience. What I can tell is the broth is so rich and flavorful. I didn't even put hoisin because it's perfect. The meats are flavorful, not bland. Even their noodle is different here. Overall, I was not disappointed at all. I can see the Pho75 faithfuls might migrate across the street to here. My advice is if you do come here for the next month or so, be patience. If you are with a group of family members, bring Monopoly or something to kill time while you wait for your food. I want to try their Short Rib next time I'm back. read more

I have tried Pho Thin twice now, and I gotta say that I'm not a fan. I feel like ya either really love it, or it's just not really your thing. For me, it's the latter.

We recently tried Pho Thin and had mixed feelings about the experience. The broth was excellent, rich, flavorful, and clearly the highlight of the meal. I also loved the generous amount of green onions in the bowl, which added great flavor and freshness. However, for a bowl priced at over $20, we were expecting a more substantial portion. There were very few noodles and not much protein, while the bowl was filled mostly with vegetables. We were also disappointed to learn that adding more noodles required an extra charge. We ordered the short rib pho, and unfortunately, the short ribs were very chewy and difficult to pull off the bone, which was disappointing given the price point. The quality and taste of the broth were definitely there, but the portion size and texture of the meat left us wanting more. If the restaurant included a bit more noodles and protein and improved the tenderness of the short ribs, this would easily be a 5-star experience for us. read more

So decided to give Pho Thin 13 Lo Duc against all odds and bad reviews to find out for myself and to see if the reviews were correct ... Guess what folks.... this place is actually pretty damn good ... we're the reviews do to soft opening jitters and set backs ?? Maybe... are people use to mehhhh tasting pho ?? Maybe.... Well Im here to give you my honest reviews and thoughts .... Place is spacious, bright, clean, and modern feeling ... so if you're against that and prefer a dingy hole im the wall than this place isnt for you .. The menu is simple and focuses on their main dish which is pho... and not any regular pho ... but pho from the northern parts of vietnam which is minimalistic but still very flavorful and has more green onions vs the heavier spice based pho that is found in the area. The broth is simple yet flavorful and clean .. Ordered the Philla Chicken Pho and man was it good .... if you want a true Pho GA than go here for it.. Also ordered the P3 which is the short rib pho and it was on point ! Flavors of both of the bowls were delicious especially with a sprinkle of the black pepper and some of the garlic that is on your table ... No need to add anything else to it ..unless if you are one of those pho heathens who dump all the Sriracha and hosin in their bowl even before tasting the broth... The noodles arent your typical noodles you find at other places either .. these are the fresh pho noodles which are a little thicker and has more bite to it than normal noods .. Service was actually pretty good .... there were a lot of servers around so service was pretty good .. Only grip I have about this place is the damn spoons they give you ... give me a freaking soup spoon versus a big Ole metal serving spoon... I had to revert back to my animalistic form and pick up my bowl and drink the broth vs using a soup spoon like a civilized person lol I would definitely come back and enjoy the pho here ... This had made it to one of my favorite pho spots in the area ... and one of them is Phoxotic in DC ... Also why are people complaining about a $20 bowl of pho ... some of yall heffers spend almost that for a drink and Starbucks or some smoothie shop .. read more

They have a relative small menu. Few appetizers and the rest are phos. But they are not the traditional phos. The soup do not have the traditional pho spice taste, more beef flavor instead. The varieties are limited. But portion is big. They use wider flat noodles, and it's too soft and overcooked for my like. The soup is also too greasy for me. They also put gingers in my order(P2). The summer roll is also 50% bigger than most of the summer rolls I had before. Thus, the price is also 50% more than the traditional pho noodle places. The place is clean and pleasant, but our wait staff speaks limited English. I'm not rush to go back. read more

New Pho on the block, These guys originate from Hanoi, Vietnam. Made their way to California and finally now here in Falls Church, VA. They focus on wok-flamed beef thrown into their pho which also hosts, bouncy, wide, rice noodles (which is my favorite part). These wide noodles are actually authentic to Vietnam even though Pho in the USA has gotten used to the thin rice noodles. I'm actually impressed with this place - beef, broth, and noodles. I only brought my rating down because it is too expensive for me to come back. I believe 5 star establishments would bring me back no matter the price. Very good pho but it is a one & done for me tbh. Maybe I'll try it again to see if things changed, but for now, they are a solid 4 star! :) read more

Got the two most expensive items on the menu. Pho was decent, as well as the portions. My only comment is that we felt rushed toward the end of our meal. The check was brought before we asked for it, and staff began clearing items from the table while we were still finishing up. The restaurant was busy, so perhaps that wasn't the intention, but it made us feel pressured to leave sooner than we would have liked. Given the price point, I would have preferred a more relaxed dining experience. read more
