I absolutely loooove pho! This evening I had the veggie pho (minus tofu), the chicken egg rolls and the fried chicken. The pho was super fresh and the chicken egg roles were delicious! The chicken was a tiny bit fatty and didn't have the crunch I was looking for, but the flavor was good. This location is on the UMD campus. We got there around 5:30, by 6:30, it was packed. It's busy, but super clean and brightly lit inside. I would certainly return. read more

Pho Thom - Veggie pho. - Thai Near Me - College Park, Maryland

So far in my search for traditional, reasonable, and quality pho in the DMV, this is my top contender as of now. The service was nice and quick, once you order the pho, its a seamless process. I love the touches of the paper mats and the simple tableside selection of hoisin or sriracha. The menu is also written in Vietnamese, which is not hard to understand there is an English translation, but I love it when resturants do it because it keeps some resemblance to the homeland the owners are from, and that unwavering connection to the home is what keeps the spirit of the food so good. The pho came made to order and pipping hot. They really have it down because their broth was clear, rich, and deep in flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked and retained its bight til I got to the end of the bowl. The selection of meat is also authentic, and a lot of pho menus in the DMV shy away from organ meat, but its what makes pho so delicious and varied in texture so I was so delighted to see it on their menu. Toppings were all correct, and had a wonderful time eating here! Will be coming more now that I know how Metro accessible this place is! read more

Pho Thom - P-DB. Combination - Thai Near Me - College Park, Maryland

My rating is honestly a little low because of the bun Bo hue. They have very good pho, but the bun Bo hue needs work. The menu said pork hock, but mine came with pig feet. The meat was tough and source. The broth was perfectly spicy but lack depth of flavor (like it was watered down. Plus it didn't come with the standard vegetable like banana blossom, cabbage or mint. Not awful but not great and it was inauthentic. Go for the pho. read more

Decent pho. Got the basics right but first time I've experienced a bowl and longed for more noodles. Other better, more flavorful phos imo in the DMV area so keep looking. Service was fine and place was clean. read more

I took my daughter to the University of Maryland to retake her graduation photos. Afterward, we stopped by Pho Thom for dinner. My daughter said Pho Thom is a well-known spot near the UMD College Park MD. We easily found the restaurant and parked at the nearby CVS lot, just a one-minute walk away. Pho Thom recently reopened in a newly renovated space. The design feels modern and clean, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The owner warmly welcomed us and shared that they've been running the business for about 15 years. They moved from their old location to this beautifully updated space. We ordered a bowl of Vietnamese beef noodle soup and a shrimp Pad Thai. I've tried pho at other places before, but the broth often tasted too heavy with MSG or seasoning, leaving my mouth dry. After eating at Pho Thom, I didn't feel that dryness at all. The broth tasted light and fresh, and I could tell they used healthy, high-quality ingredients. My daughter also enjoyed her shrimp Pad Thai, it was flavorful but not greasy. This was the best Vietnamese beef noodle soup I've had in over 20 years. I truly appreciate how much care the owner puts into preparing healthy and delicious meals. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Pho Thom is one of my go-to take-out spots. A mix of Vietnamese and Thai, I highly recommend the P-2 and P-7 pho options, their grilled lemongrass pork (with spring roll) over either rice or vermicelli noodles, and the Pad See Ew. I've never dined in mainly because parking is a little difficult, but it's always very busy whenever I stop in to pick up my food. While I can't speak to the dine-in service, the hosts are as attentive as they can be for to-go orders when it's very busy. Their prices are very reasonable and the food is always consistently delicious. Definitely a staple take-out spot in the Hyattsville/College Park area. read more

I used to always come to this spot for pho with friends but my recent two visits have made me consider checking out a new pho place to go to as a regular. The first time I found a gnat in my pho. Not too much of an issue but the second time I found multiple bugs or flies in my pho. I saw a winged small gnat and bugs with legs (very small) but might be from the bean sprouts or the veggies because they didn't wash them?? Not too sure, but it really turned me away from eating. read more

A weird place to have a restaurant if you don't want African American customers. My mother and aunt went in there yesterday night at 6:30PM, by 7:10PM when every other party seated after them had received their food they finally gave up and left. Customer service has to come before the food or anything. Given the current climate of the country you'd hope for more inclusivity. To my kin spend your dollars elsewhere! read more

I've been looking for a place with vegetarian pho that also has other vegan options. Pho Thom's menu fit the bill. We had deep fried vegetable dumplings, pad thai with tofu (no egg), and of course pho chay. It was all texturally good but lacking flavor. The dumplings came out first and we enjoyed their crispyness. The sauce was salty and bland so I added Sriracha. Delicious! I had the pho. The jalapeno slices that came on the side added heat but the depth of flavor just wasn't there. Five or six pieces of very hot fried tofu decorated my bowl but they were so bland! (Solution: dip in Sriracha. Solved!) My daughter had the tofu pad thai. It was almost tasty but needed more something. Or more everything! We finished off with mango and sticky rice. The coconut milk sauce was just the right amount sweet and the mango was perfect. Prices were average and the portion sizes were reasonable. I'll try again another night and hope for more flavor. read more

Excellent Thai food. Not super large portions. My daughter loved the Pad Thai. Very attentive servers except when we were ready for the check lol. Ample seating if you are looking for a place to eat after a football game. read more

Vietnamese Pho is good/fine, I'd have it again. The Thai food is quite poor. Pad Thai was a tiny portion for $18 and just tons of sweet and no subtle flavors. 2 of 3 appetizers were horrible. Fried tofu (Golden Triangle ) was totally tasteless. Steamed dumpling (A-6) was floppy, wet, tasteless. Fried vegetarian spring roll (A-4) was good. read more

Food: We ordered a variety of food between pho, pad Thai, chicken satay, yum beef, and pla pow wahn. Everything was fantastic! The noodles, broth, and meat in the pho were flavorful and cooked to perfection. The yum beef was VERY spicy (even coming from an Asian family with heat good tolerance!), the satay was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pad Thai was flavorful and the table LOVED it! Service: This was a little rough. It was busy, but we did see our waitress walk by and look over many times without checking in or refilling (or offering to refill) water. We had to ask for the sauce caddies that tend to come with the food and tables. I will say the owner or manager was very on point. She made space by pulling one of the front desk dining tables they were using to set carry out orders to combine with another so we could sit together (about 5 of us, so more than a 4 person table but not anything huge). When she saw the waitress hadn't cleaned the table well before we were seated she was sure to call her back and finish the job. Overall, I recommend Pho Thom. My family and I have been coming here when they visit since I moved to the area five years ago (and even when I just had been flying in and out looking for a place to live). Always consistently good food! read more

Pho Thom - N-3. Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - College Park, Maryland

We stopped by Pho Thom on a Saturday evening. I was disappointed as prices were on the higher end and portions (specifically for the pho) were small. We ordered a large pho for ~$13, which had almost no noodles. I'm not sure if they were running low or if this is the norm for their restaurant, but it was definitely the least amount of noodles I have seen in pho. The flavor was good - I just wish the proportions were more even. The lemongrass pork dish was also slightly oily. Overall, definitely not the best Vietnamese food I've had and I would recommend checking out other places to eat in the area. read more

This updated review is based on my most recent takeout experience. I ordered a small pho (#4) - extra spicy. I specified that I wanted extra jalapenos and extra sriracha. The guy who took my order said ok and asked if I wanted extra cilantro as well. I said no but I could tell he didn't quite understand. I got home excited to enjoy my pho but I was disappointed. No extra spicy nothing was included as I had requested. They put the brown sauce and sriracha in one container so it was mixed up together...ugh! I don't even like the brown sauce. The meat which wasn't much was inside the extra salty broth. Maybe they thought I wanted my broth extra salty! This was my first time trying their pho and it'll be my last. I'm sticking to my regular spot! read more

Walked in, at 8:39 on a Friday and was refused service because they are "closed" the Asian man in front of me was sat seconds before me and they were going to serve him. It seems a bit unfair and racist, little do they know.. I'm actually half Asian myself . It's really a huge disappointment because it's a place I've been going to for several years.

For the service I will give three stars but the food is nothing to write home about. Main characteristics of all dishes, sugary!

Came in on a Saturday night, it wasn't packed and parking wasn't easy. Luckily we were able to find parking meters near by. Thai and Viet... I was curious to see what was on their menu, there were popular dishes from both countries but I was there mainly for the pho. Got the p1 which is just pho with round eye steak. The broth was nice and hot, but the flavor wasn't there. They were not skimpy on the meat which was a good thing. $10.95 for a large bowl that didn't feel like a large. The bro had the Tom yum soup and he said that was alright. Doesn't look that spicy. Overall it was alright, the parking situation just sucks but it's nice that it's there to cater to the nearby university students. read more

Ordered Grubhub Grilled chicken over rice with extra spring roll (it's a fried roll) it came with sweet fish sauce and some fresh veggies it all was excellent , we also ordered basil fried rice with chicken which was fair.

Went here to try Vietnamese Pho for the first time. Had a great experience. Service However Was A Bit Slow (Due To Them Being Busy). I Tried the steamed vegetarian dumplings as an appetizer.

Remember the scene in Braveheart where the torturer leans in with anticipation, expecting William Wallace to cry out, embarrass himself, and end his resolve? I have a confession to make. I have never tried the pho here, and I never intend to. Instead, I shift blissfully between Thai Fried Rice (my favorite) and Basil Fried Rice, always choosing chicken, always requesting "extra spicy," which is never too spicy and perfectly whets my appetite for the next spoonful and the next visit. read more

Ohmygosh this is the most tasteless Thai food (thai fried rice, pork dumplings and Pad Ke Maw I have ever had. Even the tofu, that absorbs all flavors, was awful. Asked for a spice rack and they sent nothing, not even soy sauce. You can look at the fried rice and tofu, no seasoning, nothing at all. When have you ever seen almost white fried rice. I will never order from here again. What a waste of money. I didn't even eat the food. These reviews have got to be from folks that have not had real Thai. read more

My friends and I frequented Pho Thom when we went to UMD, and it was one of our most favorite spots in the area! It's a great place to go for reliably delicious Thai food and if you're looking for a sit-down place that's a bit more upscale than the casual food places in town. We LOVE the drunken noodles here! It is probably one of the best drunken noodles I've ever had. In fact, all the dishes (I only can speak to the Thai dishes) I've had have all been delicious. There has never been much of a wait when I go, so it is very easy to stop in and immediately be seated. The service is typically very good as well, with very attentive staff! read more

I come here all the time with friends and family since it's right off campus. The only thing negative about this place is that sometimes the service isn't great. It doesn't bother me that much though, since the food is always very satisfying for me. read more

Came back just a few days after my first review to try our their pad thai. It was pretty tasty, so I was satisfied with it. Portion size was about right, and I don't really have any complaints about it. It gets its 4th star for seal of approval on their Thai fare. I did have one tiny issue, and that was when my friend ordered her bowl of pho. It was Friday night, so the restaurant was a bit fuller than when I visited last Tuesday, but they didn't have any condiment caddies for us. Luckily, I knew the people at the table over and asked if they were done with theirs, but I was a little confused as to why they didn't have enough caddies. The restaurant wasn't completely full, and I don't think everyone had pho, so I got this weird impression that they only had about 3 caddies? XD BUT but, food was still very good. I will definitely be making this place part of my regular routine. read more

A very good asian restaurant in College Park. Their pho is very good and I always order the garden rolls. Also, recently I ordered the pad thai with shrimp and it was very delicious. The people are very friendly and they wait on you quickly. Food has always arrived hot (pho) and in good timing. I really enjoy the thai iced tea and once in a while I will treat myself. I come here a lot during my lunch breaks from work. I work in DC, but it is worth the drive to come here to College Park and eat at Pho Thom! read more

Boo Boo and I came here for a quick Lunch/Dinner before the Rutgers-Maryland game. We each got a bowl of pho and shared a beef over rice dish and iced coffee. They weren't busy mainly due to Thanksgiving break I suppose. The food was averaged compared to other vietnamese places. I didn't taste enough of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and anise flavor. But, the food came out hot and fast. I think we were very lucky that there's a lot of restaurants nearby the campus. We were able to walk from the visitor's parking lot. We were famished from the long bus ride from NJ to MD and this place hit the spot. read more
