Very good Thai tea and spring rolls and chicken vermicelli

When I lived in MD this was my go to Pho place. Now when I travel back I try to stop in and get an order to go. On 3/11/24 I ordered Shrimp Pho to go. After my 6 hour drive home I looked at my order and was sorely disappointed! There were only 3 shrimp, there was some strange white (Looked like lunch meat) also in there, there was no cilantro and the broth basically had no flavor. I tried to call and speak with a manager or owner today but was not successful in doing so. I don't know if they've had a change in ownership or are just trying to cut costs but needless to say I won't be back. Posting this so others know...it's not the same quality as it had been.

Fantastic soups and appetizers at fair prices ! The BEST "Comfort Food" around, for those rainy, bluesy days-- or Any time! ? It's always clean, well-lighted, and somehow remains peaceful/quiet even when crowded. The menu items range from authentic, exotic dishes for the discerning lover of Vietnamese food to simpler, more "accessable" dishes that appeal to the less-adventurous ? (example: the chicken noodle soup [pho] is a hit with even the pickiest kids!)Wheelchair accessibility: I assume it's ADA-compliant, but the front door area seems like it'd be tough to manage in a wheelchair unless one had TWO helpers to holding both doors open. Once inside, looks like one could get around with minimal effort.

THIS IS A KOREAN-OWNED RESTAURANT.If you have been here and enjoy the flavor of the food, by all mean, come back and dine here.As a vietnamese, it saddens me that people think the food here is authentic and the flavors do not present Vietnamese food at all. When I first sat down and saw a Korean couple running the restaurant, it should have been a red flag but i decided to stay and give it a try.The price is higher than a lot of true Viet-owned restaurants. The owners (the korean lady and the man) were pretty rude and stern.We ordered Cha Gio (fried spring rolls), Goi Cuon (summer rolls) and Bun Bo Hue (vietnamese style). Not sure why there is a need for American style Bun Bo Hue on the menu.Cha gio: decent, the fish sauce saved it.Goi Cuon: the sauce was very off.Bun Bo Hue: extremely lack of flavor and one dimension. I didn’t taste the lemongrass and otherFlavors that a Bun Bo Hue must have in this. This one is just full of chilis (more accurately Korean pepper flakes) because they have a distinct flavor and different from the dried chili Vietnamese uses to make Bun Bo Hue. Noodles were “al-dente”, which is not ok at all.So if you haven’t come here before, please go somewhere else to truly experience Vietnamese authentic flavor.

Easily my favorite pho place in the area. Interior of restaurant is nothing fancy, but it's clean and sanitary. They have a lot of pho options as well as other foods for those who dislike pho which is great. I always prefer chicken pho because I'm not a huge beef fan and it is just fantastic. And-- I ordered take out for the first time recently. Most pho places will give you a smaller portion size, but a life pho does not appear to. Take out was delicious. However I do miss the sriracha sauce. I know removing it is not their fault-- but it just stinks eating pho without it.

The food is amazing, but the staff was rude when I last went here. We asked for one large bowl of Phó to share. My partner and I received a nasty look and attitude from the waitress. I was experiencing health issues at the time and could not eat a whole bowl of Phó. I felt that it was disrespectful way to act.

Was picking up food for a friend.I will never be able to eat here - the onion smell was so pungent I coughed for at least 15mins. It lingered in the car as well.If you don't have any allergies probably a good place.
Great service!
