Morning after partying we were looking for soup and this was a real gem. Started with a party of 2, then 2 more friends came, then another 2, then another 2... we basically took over the middle of the restaurant at 4+ different tables lol Since most people in the area aren't having pho for breakfast (like they should!) we were almost the only group in there. There was only one server and she was very nice and prompt. All our tables and orders were staggered so it was probably pretty easy. She also had a number of takeout orders in between. Very nice decor, pretty patio, large private room in the back. Pho really hit the spot and the bowl was deceivingly deep. Other friends also enjoyed their dishes. read more

I stopped in for lunch and tried the beef rib Pho. The broth itself was really flavorful, but the rib added a bit too much grease for my liking. I'd definitely return, but I'll stick to a classic Pho next time. The sprinh rolls were fresh and had a good crunch it it. Despite there being only one waitress, the service was impressive and the food arrived quickly. Beef rib pho 5/10 Rolls 8/10 read more

So we went in at 5:30pm and the restaurant was completely empty. Also, it was surprising that the servers and cooks weren't Vietnamese, not an issue, but we want authentic food. Tried to order the Lychee speciality drink, they didn't have it. Tried to order a vodka soda they didn't have it. I could only order a straight shot. Tried to order a beer didn't have it. Finally, I ordered a Thai iced tea and the server came back to ask me to try it because it looked too light and was from package. I thanked her and we decided to leave. read more

Pho Viet USA - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Meh...the food was not that great, and according to my Vietnamese friend, the taste and quality didn't seem too authentic. The service was overall friendly but there were a bunch of young, perhaps slightly inexperienced servers running the restaurant that night. I did get a little sick the next day, and strongly suspect this restaurant as I didn't eat anything that whole day prior to coming to this restaurant. Overall, soft pass on this restaurant as there are better Vietnamese options in the area. Parking is convenient though as there is a garage and street parking available. read more

I've ordered from this place for delivery on so many occasions but today, my pho broth came with a fat layer of oil that I have never seen before in other orders that comprised at least 20% of the broth. I tried removing it and eating the pho but the broth smelled so oily and smoky, as if the pot wasn't cleaned from the night prior, and I couldn't eat it. There was a random mushroom/piece of ginger floating around in the broth too? And they only gave me 3-4 slices of brisket that looked sad. I don't know what happened today, but this is definitely not the Pho Viet USA I am used to. The pho today was disgusting and inedible. Uncharacteristically so. Guys, what happened today??? read more

I visited this small town for a few days and decided to give it a try. I tried Pho at the first day and it was really good. The second day i came and ordered another Vietnamese noodle soup which is Called Bun Bo Hue. It doesn't taste authentic to me because the BBH is one of our Vietnamese strong flavor dishes (usually cook with shrimp paste). So let just leave the Shrimp paste away, their BBH recipe is already . I would come back here again if i visit this town again. read more

What I received was not like the photo in the menu-- I thought it was going to come with roasted bone marrow. The place is very cute - nicely decorated- the short rib was good- the broth was tasteless. The bowl came with Chinese savory donut things-- they were stale and hard. 3 star for the short rib that I took home and ate with fish sauce I had-- the pho noodles were too soft and broth was not flavorful at all. read more

Great pho, but service needs some work. The pho broth was delicious and the noodles were perfection. Absolutely enjoyed the heck out of that bowl! However, we got veggies after the pho had come out, so the bean sprouts stayed raw due to the soup cooling off a little. Then I ordered a new menu item : Nem Nuong Summer Roll. The server comes back to tell me that it's not in their computer but I can order the regular Shrimp Summer Roll or the Nem Nuong instead. Uh... so you're telling me you have the ingredients to make your new item but I can't order it because someone didn't enter it into the system? I was annoyed but opted for the Shrimp Summer Roll.....and it never came out. After we were done with our meal, we got the check and asked for them to remove the item from our bill since we never received it. They did it, no problem - but disappointing that they didn't even say sorry for the error. We went past peak lunchtime, so we were the only table for most of the time and yet it was hard to flag a server for any assistance - like asking for our check. Seriously though, great food and full bar. Possibly just an 'off' day and hopefully better next time! read more

Pho Viet USA - N5. Pho Dac Biet - delicious!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Best Vietnamese food around! Small, very clean & pleasant restaurant with efficient, friendly servers. Try it! You'll like it!

This is a more upscale setting for pho than you usually find. With a nice bar, simple Asian decor, and good distancing of the tables. It allowed us to feel safe from covid, while dining out. In good weather, they also have outdoor tables. The Bethesda location carries a higher cost of doing business, so their pho tends to be a couple dollars more than other, less costly locations. The premium is worth it. We went with the white meat chicken (pho ga) that came with basil leaves, bean sprouts, jalapeños, hoison, and sriracha sauces. The broth was well developed, and I was pleased they took the time to remove any undesirable chicken parts. We had a good experience, which will only get better as the colder weather comes. read more

Based on the pictures and positive reviews from others, this Vietnamese restaurants sounds like a very good restaurant. However, it is deceiving and misleading. We tried this location for lunch today (11/12/22) for the very first time and were super disappointed! First off, there are no Vietnamese chefs or servers at this restaurant. Secondly, there were no customers sitting down when we arrived at 11:20 AM. We were basically the only customers for dine-in. The waitress brought 2 cups of water and they were super warm with no ice! With the temperatures between 65-70°, why would you bring warm water?! Had to ask for ice water, instead. And we ordered a Coconut Boba Tea and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The menu looked impressive. But once we got the drinks and tasted them, we were sorely disappointed! The Iced Coffee tasted bitter as heck, there was no condensed milk in it. The Coconut Boba tasted of pure powder and not that smooth like how it normally should be. Tasted a little bitter, too. For our Appetizer and Entrees, we got the Summer Rolls with Prawns, a Lemongrass Chicken Noodle bowl and a Chicken Pho Ga. Once we got the Summer Rolls and tasted it, seemed like something was missing. Also, there was too much pickled radish in there. The peanut sauce was also wrongly mixed, too much fish oil and Hoisin Sauce, not enough Peanut sauce at all. The entrees looked and tasted off as well. The grilled chicken wasn't cut, the carrots were not sliced enough and not enough sauce or veggies. The lettuce tasted old, too. Chicken Pho tasted bland and the meat was overcooked, very chewy. We could not finish them as we were losing our appetite with every bite. Ate 1/2 of each and stopped. Got full of disappointing food and drinks! Do not believe the great reviews! As a big time foodie and Yelp! Elite member, this restaurant is a big miss! Have had Vietnamese food all over DMV and the Seattle area, this one has to be one of the worst ones we have been to!!! Don't recommend to others at all unless you want to feel disappointed like we did... read more

Scheduled a pickup, but items weren't ready so I had to wait at the restaurant for a bit. A parking might be challenge as we had to find a street parking. We got Bun Bo Hue, tofu banh mi with vegetable soup, and shrimp summer roll. The flavor of Bun Bo Hue's soup and banh mi were good. But, the vegetable soup was just some chunks of veggies and boring. The summer roll's dipping sauce was great, but the rice paper was really chewy for ours. read more

Food was tasty and staff are very nice. But they are understaffed or just not organized as it takes forever to have someone stop by to take your order and when we finally got our food we had no plates or utensils. Not sure we'll return for dine in. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time today and had a great experience. The restaurant is small but also has additional partially covered, very cute/romantic outdoor seating which is tucked away from the street. We sat outside and got served right away by Maria who first wiped down our already clean-looking tables. We asked what was good and she told us about her special off-menu pho creation consisting of part chicken broth, part lemongrass soup with shrimp, shredded chicken, and vegetables. I ordered this and it was a winner! The broth was delicious, and the portion was generous with a good amount of shrimp and chicken. My friend ordered the grilled chicken vermicelli. She said the grilled chicken was top-notch but wished the dipping sauce had a little more zing. I love Vietnamese cuisine and have not yet found a solid Vietnamese restaurant in this area so I was excited by the experience we had today and hope that it will continue to impress. I should add that the menu is extremely user-friendly because it features large glossy pics of each of the menu items. I will definitely return to have Maria's creation again and try other dishes. read more

This place is great, it's a tiny store front that extends pretty far back with plenty of indoor seating. Unfortunately because of COVID, they don't do indoor dining atm, but they do have some tables set aside adjacent to the store . The pho is great, but this place ALSO serves boba ! I havnt found a place in Bethesda that serves boba and this places does ^ they have a pretty good variety too the pho is great, the boba is even better Come back here often just for a boba helping read more

I have to give this place a 1/5, the Pho was very good but if you're looking for a Pho place to sit and eat, look elsewhere! The service is very poor.. very slow. This is more of a grab and go! My check also was completely wrong and I won't be back unfortunately. On the bright side the lemongrass tea was GREAT! read more

Just delicious. Summer rolls were fresh, chewy and delicious. The Pho has a tasty broth and super fresh ingredients.

I came here only for boba but I will definitely be coming back for pho. The boba itself was delicious. One small issue was that the boba was sometimes too big for the straw so you have to do some crazy sucking... However the service and employees were great and very nice. I got my boba to go but from the short amount of time I was inside the seating looked really lovely. I will be back soon read more

We got this food months ago as take out. We got spring rolls and beef with vermicelli. They were not good and the quantity was small. The one minute of service I got during picking up an paying for food was subpar. It was late near closing so maybe that was why it was bad. read more

When My friend and I was passing by, this place seemed very authentic, so we decided to try out! The weather was very nice, so we decided to seat in the small patio, but inside was very nicely decorated too. The price of pho was a bit higher than other pho places, but the food was very good. The vermicelli noodles was thicker than I usually had, but the chicken was very well seasoned. The sauce was not enough for the noodles and chicken, but it was okay. The pho broth was very savory. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

I got carry out today and ordered the Pho Tai Nam (the beef pho). Well, it was first of all $30 which is insane to me. Second, I opened it and saw a black short hair not what you want to see in your lunch. The broth was not hot and I wanted to barf. Stick to Rice Paddies on Bethesda Row- never straying ever again! Lesson learned. read more

Pho Viet USA - Barf. Black hairs are not wanted in your lunch. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

So while I was turned off by the price of the pho, I'd say that the broth is really tasty--better than the competing beef pho from rice paddies in Bethesda. I do wish that more broth was provided, but I thought overall the portions were great for the noodles and the condiments/other extra vegetables. While the chicken summer roll was pretty big, I was not a fan of the sauce, and they also didn't taste very fresh. Last, I want to note that the restaurant did call me to let me know that they ran out of the boba for the taro bubble tea I ordered. Because I didn't have high expectations for the boba...I was totally okay with them only putting the 10 boba they had left. However...when I ate the boba, it was really dry, hard, and not syrupy at all. I'm sad to report that there is still a lack of decent boba in Bethesda. The taro drink was fine though! I'm between a 3.5 to 4 stars. But I think because of the price of pho with not as much broth, the slightly stale summer rolls, and the dry hard boba, I rounded down. read more

So happy to have this addition in Bethesda. Finally a Vietnamese restaurant I like. We order here regularly and everything is good. Lemongrass chicken (on noodles bahn mi etc) is very popular in my house. Tip: the grilled chicken dish chicken may be different than the lemongrass chicken they add to noodles. When you get the right one it is lemongrass peppery delicious! The only weird thing about Pho Viet USA is that when we order chicken fried rice, it is usually amazing but every once in a while (1 in 3 times) it comes totally different. The rice is yellow instead of orange/brown and the chicken is in much bigger long pieces and not flavorful (and it's not the grilled chicken dish). I have no idea what the deal is--it's like there is a different chef. Dear Pho viet please fix this, your normal chicken fried rice is so good!!! read more

Pho Viet continues to be reliably delicious with wonderful staff/service - definitely our favorite place of the year in Bethesda! They catered my husband's birthday and everything in the large order of food (see photo) was so fresh, perfectly cooked, and held up during the party.

Pho Viet USA - A1. Summer Rolls with Shrimps, A3. Egg-Roll with Ground Pork, B22. Lemongrass Grilled Chicken, A5. Crispy Shrimp Dumpling - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Had dinner here last night and was overall disappointed. I got the the fried shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. There were only four and one of them was empty - no shrimp!. The others had shrimp that was very small for an appetizer with only four dumplings. However the orange sauce was great just not much to dip into it. The pho itself was just o.k. The meat was decent - tender but not flavorful. The broth was o.k. but nothing special. I've had more flavorful broths before. I like it when it taste like a fresh bouquet. The noodles seemed overcooked and not enough of them. The service was friendly but slow. I do feel sorry for the restaurants in Bethesda these days: high rents, lots of competition and plenty of long established restaurants. There are too many good Pho places, especially in Rockville to Germantown, to back here for. read more

I was surprised by this restaurant. I told the server the. Vietnamese name of what I wanted. She said she didn't know any of the names, just look at the menu and give the menu number to order. Really? Zero tip for a carry out order. I got my order of Pho Thai Nam The broth was tasty and I thought the meat and other supplied herbs made for a nice Pho. I would go back, I am not sure it is worth $16 for the bowl though. It was tasty. This was my first visit here since I was in the area. My options in south west NOVA are at least as good. read more
