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

Thinking of having Pho, without traveling to Vietnam? This is one of those places. The concept is letting you enjoy a true bowl of pho without any fancy siting or twist in cooking method. There's a bar like sitting area. Max capacity around 10 ish people at the same time. And there is time limit for each dining. This place is perfect for those who want to just enjoy a good bowl of pho either by themselves or a small intimate group of people. I would recommend you try the pho here with the wide cut and depending on how much meats you want you can adjust accordingly. I am Vietnamese and I appreciate the way pho being made here read more

I will start off by saying, Phoxotic is NOT for the weak! I stumbled upon this restaurant out of curiosity and I finally wanted to try Pho for the first time. Please forgive me for posting this so late. But on to the review.... I absolutely love it! The bowl I had, I believe was called "The Works", which included ALL the beef meats & parts such as bone-in rib, bone marrow, oxtail, sliced beef, beef shank, and beef meatballs. I rather not say how much it costs me, but it was well worth the money. I will say I wasn't a fan of how oily it was & they did not give enough noodles for such a massive bowl. But they were sweet enough to give me extra noodles to go without an upcharge, so I greatly appreciate that. This bowl lasted me at least 2 to 3 days for lunch because it was THAT massive. The ambiance was rather quiet but very alluring. There are only 10 seats on a first come first serve basis & I was lucky enough to get a seat a few minutes after showing up. I came there on a very cold Sunday late afternoon/ early evening. The staff was very busy but very kind and accommodating to customers/ patrons. It was great to see the cooks work their magic behind the counter. I highly recommend this place, especially during the fall & winter months. I will likely return in a few months for a smaller bowl as it starts to get chilly out. read more

Hands down one of the best pho places I have ever visited thus far! I got "The works" bone marrow, ox tail, mixed sliced beef in the spicy broth. Once garnishes were added, the dish was perfect. All the meats were perfectly tender. The broth had the best spice balance. Couldn't have enjoyed it any better Seating is limited, very small dine at the bar. We came right before rush hour. Service was over the top! Very pleasant and welcoming! She was grateful at each customer acknowledging how perfect everything was! Hate that it's so far from home but a good thing because I'd be broke eating here!l daily! read more

Phoxotic - Pho with bone marrow, oxtail, beef rib - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Walked right in at 730. Unreal place, worth the wait if you have to. Had the butchers bowl, the beef rib fell right off and easy eat. The brisket was just as tasty. The broth tho, like others have said, the best. Must try. Also the mama Kim's chicken rolls were something to write home to mother, absolutely perfectly fried with FRESH ingredients. Took about 15 mins to get our order. read more

Probably the best pho ive had! i see a lot of reviews mentioning wait times but when we came at opening (4pm) on a friday, there was no wait at all and actually only 2 other customers the whole time we ate (although they did have a couple to go orders). Maybe the hype died down, coming at opening was great, or cause of the warmer weather! The waiter who greeted us when we came in was super friendly and introduced us to the menu overall before helping us find a seat. Vietnamese beef carpaccio - I think he mentioned they only launched this new menu item maybe 3-4 weeks ago! It was very good. the beef was very tender and i love the vietnamese flavors that come through in the sauce. 3.75/5 Salted vietnamese milk coffee - The coffee flavor is pretty strong which is tasty! Its not too bitter and actually i feel the sweetness and milky levels balance well. it gets really brought together by the salted foam on top! 3.5/5 The butcher's bowl - we saw the fresh noodles being sliced right in front of us! It was so delicious, it was super soft, slightly bouncy and has that ricey taste i love! broth was light but flavorful and all the meats were tasty and tender and not dry at all. 4.5/5 read more

Wow! What a delight. Saw this place gain popularity few months ago. But with only 10 seats, we waited for the hype to die down a little first. What a pleasant surprise though!! Delicious clarified pho!! The soup was such a yummy sweet and not oily flavor, I wish it were in Montgomery County so it would be closer to get to! I loved the small seating as you could see the kitchen prep. They make their own noodles so we got to watch them cut the noodles into thick slices, which I really enjoyed! We tried both the chicken and beef spring roll, I was shocked that I actually enjoyed the chicken one a lot more! Got their delicious iced viet coffee with a foam top. Such a delight! also everyone working was so friendly! They each checked on me and my husband multiple times. We even got the chance to speak to the owner! Fellow moco born! Didn't catch his name but he was super friendly! read more

Phoxotic is easily one of the most memorable food experiences in DC, and a huge part of that is the food and the people behind it. The pho is unreal! Deep, rich, aromatic broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and premium halal meats that are tender and full of flavor. The Butcher's Choice and bone-broth pho are next-level comfort food done right. Every bowl feels intentional and expertly crafted. What really sets this place apart, though, is owner Hai Le. He's an absolute pleasure to talk to; genuine, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he's built. You can feel the pride and care in every detail, from the way guests are greeted to how the food is prepared and served. The hospitality here is incredible and makes the experience feel personal, not transactional. The space may be small, but it's warm, cozy, and full of soul. Don't skip the chicken fried spring rolls--crispy, flavorful, and dangerously addictive. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, Phoxotic delivers every time. This is the kind of place you tell friends about immediately after leaving. Phenomenal food, top-tier hospitality, and an owner who truly cares. Phoxotic deserves every bit of its reputation, and I'll be back often. read more

I would say that after visiting here, it's valid to call this DC's best pho restaurant (also Bib Gourmand). Despite having to wait longer than expected on a Friday night, I seated myself and ordered the beef rolls + beef broth pho with Sirloin and Bone Marrow. I will say both items were superb and definitely matched the hype I've heard about with this place. The service basically had no frills... you order from a QR code and pay before you get your food. Everything came out 12 minutes after ordering. I will say this place runs very efficiently and was very sleek. I will say under the counter (Seat 1), there was a cabinet that couldn't close and had to use my foot to keep it closed. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back read more

Finally had the chance to check out this neighborhood gem and we weren't disappointed. My fiancé and I are huge fans of pho, especially in the winter months. The broth had depth, it was rich and flavorful. The noodles were simply delicious and fresh. We ordered the oxtail pho spicy and butchers choice. For starters we had mama Kim's rolls and were sad that the OG summer rolls were out. While this fast casual location doesn't take reservations, they do have an in person waitlist or take out option. We waited 20 minutes or so for a couple spots to open at the counter. The owner was warm and welcoming. He offered some diners new recipes like cold foam for the Vietnamese coffee... I unfortunately was at the other end and didn't received it with mine. But overall a good experience and recommend checking them out. read more

First off, congrats to Chef Hai Le on their Bib Gourmand award! It is well deserved and I loved talking to him after our meal there. We got there a little early to get seating. It's a small place in DC. Parking was pretty easy to find but give yourself time. The restaurant has a 10 seat bar-like set up almost like a sushi bar. We placed our order and were served pretty quickly. The food. AMAZING. I've had pho a couple of times and this is the best. The broth is incredible, so delicious. I can't put it in words! The combination of the meats, which is halal btw, and herbs made it a great experience! Chef Le told us why he uses halal meat and it's really appreciated! Don't miss out this place is worth it! read more

Came here at 11:30AM for lunch on a Sunday and only had to wait roughly 10-15 minutes. The staff here is absolutely so friendly and welcoming. They explained to us some of the popular items and took such amazing care of us. Seatings is chef counter and ordering was extremely easy as you just scan it on your phone to place the order. We ordered the Mama's Kim Eggroll as a starter which consisted of chicken filling. The egg rolls were fresh, perfectly crispy and flavorful. For pho, I ordered The Oxtail Pho with Torched Marrow Bone. I absolutely love that their noodles are fresh and made in house. The meat was so tender and the torched bone marrow was perfectly charred and buttery (I could have gotten a second one, so good!). The broth is truly unique and special as it is so flavorful that you truly don't even need to add any hoisin or sriracha , it is perfectly sweet and savory. I also got a Vietnamese Iced Coffee to go and it is bold and strong, perfect way to end the meal. read more

Stumbled upon this gem while browsing YouTube. Just so happens to be less than 15 minutes away. Decided to drop by with my wife without any reservations and even though the wait was an hour (in reality it was about 30 mins) we decided to soldier-on and stand by the counter to wait for our seat at the counter. (The only seating setup which adds to the experience nonetheless) I order the Butcher's Choice and my wife ordered brisket with charred bone marrow. We shared a few chicken rolls which honestly we could have done without. Our main pho bowls however were delightful. Definitely hit the spot as it was in the low 20s that night when we ate. Truly a neighborhood gem. Will be Back soon. read more

Best pho in town, that is all that needs to be said. Phoxotic is worth the hype but coming to this small restaurant you should be prepared to wait. With 10 seats and a strong carry out program it is always packed. The signature butchers pho is out of control, from deep rich broth loaded with standard noodles and meat but anointed with a desirable beef rib to bring it over the top. read more

Definitely worth the drive. First come, first serve with limited seating but it moves fast. The staff's very friendly and welcoming. The broth is rich and clean but also surprisingly light. I love the flat wide noodles and I think this type is noodle is best paired with this broth. They don't skimp on the protein either. Love the portion size overall. Definitely get your moneys worth. Would 100% come back when I'm this part of town. read more

There are no words to explain how amazing this pho noodle bar is until you experience the magic that happens on your taste buds! Phoxotic, a recently Michelin-rated, 10-seat, first-come, first-served pho bar, offers premium quality meat (HALAL FRIENDLY). Not only that, they skipped the MSG, which is a plus in my books! Their pho meat is so tender, and their broth is so aromatic with a clean finish! The perfect bowl of pho for the colder months. Be sure to sign up for the waitlist if you dine in. Takeout is available as well. As for parking, street parking is available, as spots tend to fill up during peak hours. I highly recommend this cozy spot. You will not regret it. read more

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

Small homey space that has a time limit to your eating to ensure quick turnaround. When I arrived for dinner at around 6, there were a few seats available. When I left, there were about 20 people waiting. The broth is excellent and the quality of meats is great. My wife got the pho tai and I had to go big with the works. I don't regret it, but I probably won't get it again. Even as a meat lover, it was so much meat and not enough noodle proportionately. Bone marrow is so extra haha but honestly it was really enjoyable. My least favorite meat was the oxtail as it wasn't quite fall-off-the-bone meat. The serving size was more than plenty, but I felt it could've been served in a larger bowl. Because the bowl was small and full, they didn't give too many sprouts which I love to add for texture. Also, because the bowl was small for the portion, it was a bit difficult to eat. Comparatively, the pho tai (and the OG I ordered for delivery on a different day) had perfect proportions of noodle to plenty of meat. Next time, I'll probably go with the OG bowl or pho tai and add the rib. Friendly staff, definitely recommend this spot! read more

If you are willing to splurge on pho with high quality ingredients in mind, Phoxotic delivers as you sit in anything but the typical hole-in-the-wall place. I got the Butcher's Choice ($25). The brisket, bone-in rib, and beef shank swim in their flavorful broth. Look in their "Our Story" section to get a sense of how they strive to bring you the "finest pho in the region." I definitely thought it was good with plenty to take home. On the house, I got the beef fried spring rolls, a nice crunchy appetizer before the pho. Overall, the service was great. A bit of a walk to get to from the metro or you can take the bus. They are limited on seating inside, but I did come during a weekday lunch so it wasn't an issue. Probably for dinner I would reserve a chair. read more

I came to Phoxotic on a Sunday right after Christmas around 2:00 p.m., thinking I'd outsmart the lunch rush by hitting that sweet spot between lunch and dinner. Reader... I was very wrong . A family of seven had just put their name down before me, and considering there are only about 10 seats total, the quoted wait time of at least an hour felt very real. My friend and I ended up waiting a little over an hour before being seated. Side note: street parking was easy, but once you put your name on the list, you're kind of committed -- no beepers or text alerts. It would be nice if they added that so you could wander a bit, but if there's a large party ahead of you, just know what you're signing up for. That said... my friend (this was his third visit) insisted it was worth it. And wow -- he was not wrong. He ordered the oxtail, and I went all in with The Works (minus the meatballs). My bowl came loaded with brisket, tendons, oxtail, bone-in rib, sliced beef shank, thin-sliced sirloin (tai), and marrow bone. I also grabbed a Vietnamese iced coffee -- strong, cold, and perfect. Once seated, you scan a QR code to order, and my bowl arrived in less than 15 minutes. The first spoonful of broth brought me to heaven me -- warm, fragrant, comforting, and full of that slow-simmered, homemade goodness. This is the kind of broth that hugs you from the inside. Pro tip: do not eat beforehand, especially if you're getting The Works. I basically inhaled my bowl, and that bone-in rib was ridiculously good. The marrow bone was tasty, though next time I might just double down on the bone in rib because it was that good. Overall, this was one of the most hearty, satisfying bowls of pho I've had -- easily the best in the area, in my opinion. My advice: go right when they open or aim for that mid-afternoon window around 3:00 p.m. On our way out, we even ran into a couple who drove all the way from Gaithersburg because they said halal pho options are hard to come by where they live. That alone says a lot. I haven't given out a five-star review in a long time, but Phoxotic earned it. This place is officially on my monthly rotation -- calendar reminder and all. read more

I am from Vietnam, born and raised. I have pretty much tasted all the "best" Pho places in all the Vietnamese hubs in the country, including Orange County (Bolsa). This is the hands-down absolute best Pho I have had in the United States. Needless to say, the meat quality is outstanding. However, to any Pho-enthusiast, the broth is the true essence of the dish. In this case, their broth is hits home hardest. The broth reminds me of the best Pho places I have had in Vietnam and even more, and sets itself apart from every Pho places I have had in the US. Hai, the owner, is a master of his craft and truly offers an experience like eating at your family's home. Every bowl is customized to your liking at the 10 seat Pho bar. I will be returning here everytime I come back to DC and cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime bowl of Pho. read more

I had the pleasure and honor of trying Phoxotic this past weekend, and this newcomer to the DC food scene more than lived up to its reputation. That pho broth was so fragrant and savory! And I have never had a clearer broth! It's going to be very hard to have those muddled-looking, not-as-pure soups now. The meats that I selected for my "dac ba" or (pick 3) bowl were scrumptious and high-quality. I went with tendon, rare (recommended by the chef), and meatballs for an assortment of textures and flavor profiles. So good! I slurped everything up; I tried to savor every sip while eating the soup while it was still piping hot. My dining companions each got something different, and they were all pleased, whether they opted for the bone marrow or a choice of cuts personally selected by the chef. The noodles made in house were also absolutely delightful. I got my husband a takeout order, which was packed very carefully, and he--wait for it--said this pho was better than his dad's! Some background: his dad's pho was the gold standard for him; no auntie, grandma, uncle, etc. has been able to surpass his father's exemplary beef noodle soup. Until now. If that's not remarkable, then I don't know what is. Besides the exquisite pho, we were also won over by Chef Le's personable nature and his clear passion for food. You can tell that he cares about his craft, and that he is constantly looking to learn and grow. For example, he recounted to us how he sat with an older gentleman in Vietnam to learn more about beef noodle soup. This curiosity is what sets an amazing chef apart from a good one. This humility and eagerness to absorb and admire others for their knowledge and expertise. I feel so inspired and hopeful seeing a business owner like Chef Le. Check out the photo that I bummed from my friend--a beauty to behold. Phoxotic is the place for exquisite pho, where you can also see everything prepared and chat with the chef like old friends. I am in love with everything about this restaurant, and I hope more people will come to experience what makes it so special. read more

Love this place! The restaurant is set up like a noodle bar and you can look right into the kitchen. They serve the noodles right at the bar. I think the broth is super tasty and beefy. It's not too salty or bland. I don't find the broth to be oily or heavy either. It's just right. While I think Pho 75 is the OG pho place in the DMV, I feel like the pho here is a level up. (I never thought Pho 75 was that good, but when you're Asian in DC, you settle.) Phoxotic has more flavor, I think it's a more legitimately run business, and phoxotic very transparent about their ingredients and processes. I also think the people talking about not liking the tallow or finding the broth to be oily are wrong. We had some left overs and saved the soup for the next day in the refrigerator. If there was a lot of oil in the broth, it would have solidified. There was no solid oil the next day. It was, however, very gelatinous, which is what collagen is like. So if you want some good skin, come here for their broth. I could see how a beefy taste might be a departure from the watered down stuff that the DMV is used to, but I actually quite like it. When we were there, there were other folks that had driven in from Virginia just for this pho. You know they liked it bc they got more to take out too. I think it says a lot when you have Asians commuting into the city for ASIAN food! So glad to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

I tasted that spicy broth--no extra sauces or spices needed, it's really rich and flavorful on its own. The meats are exceptional: tender, top-quality, and packed with taste. And don't skip the spring rolls--they're bursting with flavor and freshness! This place has limited seating but I ordered online and picked it up. This is my new Pho spot in DC!

Must try spot in DC! There's a number of pho spots throughout DC and Northern Virginia but to me this was probably the most unique pho experience I've had. I came here on a Friday at around 6pm and was worried about availability as there's only 10 seats. However, there were about 6 available spots to sit at. Ordering is easy through the QR code and service is very quick. A lot of folks came in and ordered for carry-out. The food itself was amazing. I ordered "the works" and the broth had so much flavor. No need for sauce of lime juice (for me at least). There was also no skimping on the meats either so you're getting your money's worth. Service was very friendly and they do their best to make sure customers are flexible in making room for other guests. Leftovers the next day were just as good. Perfect way to spend a Friday winter night. read more

Like night and day. We went back and owners explained what happened and apologized. My first experience was definitely a one off. The second time, this is pho. Exactly how pho should be. Service was impeccable, the pho broth was simply amazing and their story is even better. Family owned and operated and this place takes pho seriously. Everything is authentic from the beef to the in house made noodles. Pho has all halal beef and they give you plenty. Simply amazing place and staff you're gonna love it. This place is small but runs like a well oiled machine when they get slammed (and they usually are). I encourage you to make a reservation so you can dine in house. It's a taste and experience you can only get here. read more
