“Possibly the best food I’ve ever had in the DMV meets incredible service. They didn’t have the dessert we wanted, so they comped us the one we chose instead. Also, as someone who is sensitive to gluten, dairy, corn, and peanuts, eating out is often extremely tricky and limited, but I was able to choose from maybe 70% of their menu, which is super impressive. Great spot if you have dietary restrictions and want a lot of options.Just a note, you definitely want a reservation. This place is busy for a reason!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-, dairy-, and nut-containing options are clearly labeled. Ask about other restrictions if you have them.“
“The ambiance and food was immaculate! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made appropriate food recommendations for our party. I enjoyed the Shrimp Thermidor as a starter and Cumin Lamb as my entree. They were both delectable, I can't say one was better than the other. I'm ready to go back!“
“On our way home from visiting Wash DC, we stopped at this place for dinner. It was conveniently located right off the BW Parkway (I-295), in Bladensburg. The restaurant is located at an intersection, in a small old building. It looked like a converted gas station. The parking lot is very small, maybe 10-12 spaces. Inside, the dinning room is also small with limited seating. People that came in after us had to wait for a table. The menu is very simple. The only appetizer was cha gio or egg roll. The entrees included pho, bun Bo hue, and 2 rice dishes (chicken or pork chop). The pho came in 3 sizes: children, small, and large. I got a large #5 pho tai nam. Both my wife and daughter got the bun Bo hue. The food came out hot after a short 5 minute wait. Both noodle soups came with a good amount of noodles and meat. Both broths were flavorful and authentic tasting. My wife was impressed with their bun Bo hue, noting that it was better than her own homemade version ( which I never heard her say before). We left this place happy and full.“
“My boyfriend and I love this place!! We were in DC for my spring break and we came to eat here almost every single day for lunch. The food is so good and everyone there was so nice :) we highly recommend coming here if you’re in the area!!“
“Discovered this gem while searching for pho, and I'm amazed I hadn't noticed it before. The pho was fresh and flavorful, especially enjoyed the veggie option. The ambiance was relaxed, with enjoyable background music. It's clearly popular, as several guests arrived shortly after me. While I didn't have a drink, it appears they offer a selection of beer and wine only. The spacious layout makes it ideal for groups.“
“Hien was so welcoming and funny! We had amazing food in a relaxed atmosphere at an amazing price. I highly recommend the Vietnamese food options! We will definitely visit next time we are in DC.Kid-friendliness: We had four children with us and they accommodated their pickier palates without missing a beat.“
“My boyfriend and I have become regulars at Pho 72! All the dishes we've tried have been consistently very good (the pho broth is amazing — I usually get the Pho Tai Chin Nam) and the family that runs it are friendly and attentive. This is a yummy, reasonably priced, low-key place to grab dinner in Columbia Heights. Highly recommend!“
“Came to check out this spot for the Hong Kong waffle. Unfortunately they don't serve it anymore. ( they should remove it from their website). So we try the pho and the rice dish instead. U gotta order first then take your seat. Menu pretty simple. Phô , rice or noodle dish or bánh mì. Everything was fresh. They charge 50 cent for to go container.“
“Today I was in this place, and my first impression when I saw the beef soup I ordered was that it was very good, abundant and light, we also ordered some wings with the sauces on the side, and the frying of the wings was on point, crispy and juicy inside, it has been a very good experience, pleasant music and very good service. We hope to return soon.“
“I don't come to bars often. This place may be changing that. We were part of a large group. Tons of orders for drinks and goods being placed. The staff was very professional and fast. I'm not sure how they got everything right. The fried Rice with shrimp eggs and corn was delicious. Too many places over cook fried rice. Not an issue here. Run of the mill beers like Corona , Stella and Heineken are quite affordable as well.“
“Everything was flawless. The food was topnotch. The atmosphere was incredible. The service was second to none. The prices were incredibly reasonable. The crispy mushroom pancakes aren't a lot of food for the money compared to other dishes which give you basically two meals but the taste is worth every penny.“
“The venue offers an incredibly fair price for its stunning ambiance and outstanding food and service. The cuisine is both authentic and creatively enhanced, boasting a delightful balance of healthiness and flavor. The combination of ambient lighting and uplifting music creates a joyful atmosphere. Every dish has a vegan alternative, and remarkably, the taste remains uncompromised; I can scarcely discern the difference from non-vegan options.“
“Love this place!! My husband and I have been coming here for about 4 years now, and the pho noodle soup is consistently delicious (especially with all the delicious toppings they give you, like the mint!) and ready quickly.Vegetarian options: Tofu and veggies option for pho soup“
“I drive over 45 mins to pick my Pho up from this place. Hands down the best in the DMV. Been going here for over a decade, and my husband's family who put me onto them have been going here longer. I have 5 pho places within 10 miles of my home and still will choose this one everytime.“
“Great food! We love coming here for lunch, the pho and vermicelli meat dishes are delicious the best in DC and you can’t beat the service. Everyone who works there is so kind and always has a smile. Definitely will be back, it is one of our favorite spots!“
“We ordered the beef meatball pho and pork chop with rice. Pho was not bad. It wasn't too strong on the msg but also wasn't too clear. Rice dish wasn't too salty and pretty balanced. Food quality was ok. Price was also ok for the portions that they gave us. Overall, not bad experience 4/5“
“If you're looking for great pho, this is the place to go! I have never had a bad bowl here! My only complaint along those lines, is that their menu is almost nothing but pho. But, do one thing and do it well, am I right? I do enjoy Vietnamese cuisine as a whole, though, so it would be great to see other options here beyond the app menu. The décor could use a little TLC too, but that's a very minor issue. Still, when I'm feeling pho, this is where I go, hands down!“
“after grabbing my fav coffee at Little Hat Coffee down the street (inside Streets Market) i stopped by for lunch! phonatics pleasantly surprised me! the pho broth was rich and truly delicious. the portions were generous, and i found myself unable to finish my meal. their summer rolls were a great size, four huge half-rolls. the place offers a decent amount of seating, and the staff is really nice and attentive just a heads-up: payments are made at the counter!“
“As always...there is never a disappointment!!! This food was so amazing I forgot to get pics but trust me it was delicious! Beef Pho was amazing as was the shrimp summer rolls with the peanut sauce!! The Seasoned combo fried rice was also great! Never a disappointment...try it you will love it“
“I am Vietnamese and was driving through the area and saw this and wanted to check it out. Total hole in the wall place. The Pho #1 is super good and legit. So good that I forgot to put in the sauces. The broth is perfect. Very cheap for the price compared to Virginia and you get tons of meat. The regular bowl at $11 and some change is huge and it’s all that you need unless you are super hungry.“
