The server was amazing, high energy and excelled at small talk. Looked like a family own restaurant. Walking in the atmosphere felt like stepping inside a traditional pho, little more modernized. Pho was great, though it was 80% broth read more

Pho79 - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This was our first time visiting Pho79 and we've been missing out! Super convenient to the Capitol, Union Station, and surrounding residential areas. The inside was clean and not very crowded. Service was great! We had a bowl of pho (can't recall which, sorry!) and the pork vermicelli bowl. We've tried other Vietnamese places for vermicelli bowls in the area and this is the best we've had in the DMV! 8.5/10 read more

Vegetarian pho was wonderful and full of veggies: bok choy, broccoli, green onions, cilantro, white onion, and fried tofu. Broth was great, especially for a cold winter's day. They have a vast menu of items. It can get busy during the meal hours, with pick up orders as well. About ten tables inside. The owner is friendly, serving customers, and helping expedite orders. read more

Came for late lunch on Monday so it was pretty quiet. Fantastic food. Super friendly server. Sad that they were out of wings appetizers. My husband got grilled pork on rice with fried egg and I got rice combo (suon, bi, cha, trung). I love the fact that they used broken rice. The grilled pork was perfectly seasoned to complement the rice (I normally drenched my rice with side sauce but didn't have to this time). Meat was very tender. Not impressed by the egg quiche (cha trung hap) but I think that's because I came from a region that used fermented fish sauce, which has a very unique flavor. Overall it was a delicious meal and would definitely go back. read more

4 pho soup: rare steak, meatball rare steak and 2 rare steak and brisket. Nice clean broth. Very tasty and good quality beef, which you get with every bite. Bean sprouts prepared differently by blanching them. Also added a different type of leaf/herb which I've never seen for the side veggies. Good fast friendly service. Price for soup is $16.99. One generous size with options from P1-P21 with an additional special for a higher price. PLace has modern aesthetics. read more

Would 100% come back. From the yummy food, to the fastest service ever, to a clean place, I don't have any criticism for this location. The waiter was definitely friendly and he made sure that I enjoyed my food. I also had a spring roll that I would definitely order again. If you're ever in the area, please go check this place out! read more

Pho79 - 9. Pho Tai Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is kind of my new spot for pho. They always have availability and hardly ever have a wait. Parking can sometimes be sparse but it is what it is. I usually get a veggie pho and spring rolls. Almost always, the spring rolls come out piping hot, scalding almost and taste delicious. The broth is what makes pho. They're broth is pretty good and is slightly more unique than most other pho places. It's not THE BEST but it's much better than other pho places that I've been to in DC. I'm a little biased because one you find a pho place that has excellent broth, nothing compares. Sadly, my pho place closed and I've been on a never-ending search to find the next best. They give a good sized amount of noodles and accompaniments and as mentioned the broth is decent. It does seem to get busy in here and I guess it's good to see a restaurant full in this economy since most restaurants in DC don't seem to ever be full anymore. This is an inexpensive way to eat out and get some good food or takeaway. read more

Pho79 - Spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came at an off meal hour and was surprised to see there were other patrons dining at the same time. I was greeted and seated immediately, and I ordered the fried spring rolls and the pho chin (well done beef). My order was out in minutes and everything was super fresh and hot. The egg rolls were fresh from the fryer, and the pho broth was flavorful and the portion size pretty good. My only complaint was that the meat had a lot of fat on it, and probably could have been trimmed better, but otherwise a good experience. read more

Food especially the pho is very good. Service during busy lunchtime not good meaning very long wait times and they tend to forget your order even though i arrived before the crowd, which got served before me i will need to wait to forget this slight experience before i come back for the food. I will forgive them eventually coz the food is good. read more

Pho79 - Open light on and not open... - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food and service are always top notch! This is the only pho spot in dc i frequent religiously.

Located less than a 15 minute walk from Union Station, Phò 79 is a solid choice for Vietnamese noodle soup, rice & pork chops, marinated chicken, spring rolls and boba, Thai tea, etc. Phò portions are generous, soup is savory, everything tasted good, nothing greasy or salty. Service was excellent, prompt & friendly. Interior could use some updating, but you come here for the good food. Dining area is relatively small so there could be a wait during rush hours. Call for takeout orders. Limited street parking. Can't go wrong here. Support your local small businesses & restaurants read more

Pho79 - Brisket and Meatball Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A pretty solid option for pho in the area. We were waiting for our next bus at Union Station, so we loved that Pho79DC was only a short walk away from the station. The store is quite unassuming from the front, but there is actually ample seating available inside. The price for the pho was pretty standard for how much it is these days -- I wish the portions were enough, though I wish they were a little bigger. I also thought the broth and flavor was good, but nothing that knocked my socks off. The staff was very kind and friendly, making sure to fill our water as needed. This place is a good option in a pinch! read more

Pho79 - 10. Pho Tai Bo Vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food 8/10 Why did this bowl of pho hit so hard. We ordered in because it was way too cold and we were very hungry. The broth was light and clear, while the noodles were chewy and not smushy at all. Quite a large portion. The everything pho had every piece of meat, although it would be nice if they had more than one piece of each kind. Good for the price. read more

Autumn is my favorite season to visit DC. The skies are clear, the air is crisp, and there's nothing better than enjoying a bowl of pho. At this cozy little pho spot, you'll find a warm, flavorful bowl of comfort. The prices are reasonable, the service is quick, and best of all--they have chili oil for that perfect kick of spice! Plus, it's just a short walk from the Capitol. Highly recommend! read more

Pho79 - #17. Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very things make me happier than a big ass bowl of Pho and thats what you can expect here. There isnt a ton of seating maybe enough for 25. The design looks like it used to be a sushi restaurant tbh. They have a ton of variations of Pho. Tbh the differences seemed marginal. All around $15. I think some other places offer a bit more meat but for the affordable price it not a bad deal to add extra meat or noodles. Food came out lightning quick. Maybe 5 mins after I ordered. The staff there also eat the pho on their breaks so you know its the real deal. read more

Delicious Pho and vermicelli bowl. Great umami in the pho. The negs: Egg roles are easy fry Chinese eggrolls and overpriced at $6 for two. Not authentic. I don't think the Jasmine Iced tea comes with refills so $3 is steep for such things. read more

Food is always great. Comforting Pho for a cold day always welcome. The egg rolls are addictive. The owner is very friendly and personable. Great place for lunch or dinner. read more

I certainly cannot deny the food is excellent. Real easy casual environment. I had the vegetarian Pho,but you can't go wrong with any dish The only one observation is that they mentioned that they have ADA compliant restrooms yet certainly not wheelchair or mobility friendly to enter the restaurant. read more

It's about a 10 minute walk from the Capitol. Where I come from Vietnamese food is everywhere. I ordered number 30, vermicelli with grilled chicken and veggies. It was supposed to have tofu but I guess they forgot it. Service was good for the most part. The guy delivering our food to the table got the numbers mixed up but that's a small mistake that one of the ladies corrected. The chicken was very flavorful and the vegetables were refreshing. Also if you finish your food, I guess you can sometimes win a discount on your next visit. If you're looking for something different from sandwiches then this place is worth checking out. read more

The broth was amazing and full of umami flavor. There's only one size bowl and it's huge! Definitely recommend. read more

I was very disappointed in this spot. I checked Yelp for a pho spot near me and this was the only option. I order summer rolls and a regular pho with eye round steak. The rice paper on the summer roll was hard and the sauce was not flavorful at all, I only ate one of them and just left the other roll. The pho finally came out and the noodles were WAY overcooked that when I picked it up the noodles basically disintegrated. The meat quality was really good which was its only redeeming quality. read more

Service was a little shaky but whatever, the food here is fire. We got the grilled pork chop rice and of course it came with the signature Vietnamese kind of rice that is just so good and the pork had this amazing flavor to it that was just absolutely delish. The pho, compared to other pho places I've been, is a little on the smaller side but the broth is super rich and flavorful. There's not much meat provided but the beef was still good. Overall the food is great, would recommend if you're feeling for a little pho. This place's food is nice read more

Took over an hour to get our food. And it would have been fast if we picked it up because it was only a 10 minute walk from our Airbnb. They Charges extra for Togo because of the containers. Pho was bland. And there were eggs in my soup. I had asked for 3 sunny side up eggs. But they put it in my soup. Couldn't eat the soup and the noodles were under cooked. I am Cambodian and ate plenty of Vietnamese pho.. this place was disappointing. read more

My least favorite take out in DC veggie pho so far. Tofu was soaked in grease, which made it flavorful but also greasy. Utensils weren't included, despite request. And the broth - which they said was veggie and not meat - was extremely oily. Calling to get assistance was also a bit of a fail. So disappointing, and in the end, I couldn't eat it. I'm taking a break from pho for a while. read more

Pho79 - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was in Washington DC when I found a pho restaurant on Capitol Hill. The food was fantastic, and the staff were extremely friendly. I ordered the pho with everything in it, and was gifted a free egg roll with my meal. This pho restaurant also serves a variety of appetizers and other types of Vietnamese dishes, such as beef, chicken, or pork with rice or noodles. I will definitely be coming back to Pho79Dc. Just know that the interior is small, so there is limited seating. Also, parking in DC is a nightmare, and this restaurant does not have its own parking. Nonetheless, if you're on the Hill, give Pho79Dc a try, you won't regret it. read more

Four stars for food only. Food was good and tasty. However definitely skip the Thai tea and passion fruit drinks. Where's the real boba tapioca pearls and real Thai tea? The Thai tea came pre stirred. It was overly sweet and lacked much tea flavor. Instead of the brown caramel tasting tapioca pearls, this drink came with clear mushy tapioca balls. At first glance we thought they forgot the boba and asked the waitress to add boba. She insisted those clear boba were it. My kids have had boba in many cities and many restaurants and this was the most disappointing. No establishment ever sells clear boba in their drinks. Even the food trucks on Constitution Avenue advertised boba tea with the standard brown tapioca balls. PhoDC79 really shouldn't put this item on the menu at all. The passion fruit tea was so sweet from the syrup we had to add ice water to it. Even after adding water it was still sweet. This restaurant makes you pay and tip upfront right after you place your order. I understand if we were ordering to go , but we were seated. This was our first time eating in a small DC restaurant so I'm not sure if this is a common practice now. read more

Food is fine. Don't used the timed order option on the online ordering option of their website. They don't respect it. They made our food an hour early. It was cold when I arrived at the specific time I had requested the food. The fresh vegetables with our order had wilted, and that's just gross. If you aren't going to honor a service, just don't offer it. read more

Kids and I were super hungry and very cold (28 deg. day). After seeing the exhibits at the Hirshhorn, this was a short drive and had plenty of street parking.

Friendly service and great location. read more

Wanted PHO terribly today to heal a weekend full of fun and poor decisions. I didn't have the time in my work schedule to head to my normal VA Spot, so I tried Pho 79. The PHO was on point- I'd do it again and again. I really loved that they had chili oil to spice things up. Thanks for a great bowl of PHO and chill vibes. read more
