Pho 88 has been our neighborhood restaurant for more than 15 years. Located in Falls Church City, we come here often for pho noodle soup and grilled meat vermicelli. If you are looking for a quick bowl of pho noodle, this place is a great option. You will be greeted by their friendly host. The longevity of the restaurant shows that it has a loyal group of customers. I recommend their pho and vermicelli dishes. Their other dishes can be hit-or-miss. I like the chicken wings but their spring rolls are not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants.

Nice, cozy little spot that's open later than some of their neighbors with proper pho.Was funny to see the front of the menu start things off with chicken pho instead of the classic, long list of the proper beef ones that are later down the menu.

Take this review with a grain of salt because I only ordered an iced coffee, and it was terrible. Typically with Vietnamese coffee, there's a coffee bitterness, sweetness, and thicker texture from the condensed milk, none of which mine had. It was very watery and only tasted like overly burnt beans. I'd say the saving grace for this restaurant is the fantastic service. The restaurant had ample space, no complaints.

Phi and coffee were great. The large bowl is easily two meals.

Ordered delivery. The food was bare minimum and nothing special. Small pieces of beef, small pieces of tendon, soup flavor is too simple, and the Vietnamese Egg Rolls are too small for the price.

Price was good and the lady working was really nice. Not the best most flavorful pho I have had but definitely hits the spot and is a pleasant experience. Parking out back is plentiful
Nice place to get pho! The staff is always super friendly, and service is fast. There's a parking lot in the back with ample parking.

This place was okay. The people who run this establishment or cook are definitely Chinese. I heard them speaking a Chinese Dialetct in the back. The food in general was inauthentic (speaking from someone who grew up around authentic Vietnamese food) But if you haven’t ate authentic Vietnamese food, you’ll like it. They tried to charge me and my family $2 for extra bean sprouts…. Which for a large bag would only cost $1. I have never had a Vietnamese establishment charge for extra bean sprouts/basil/lemon. I will say they did give us a small plate of bean sports after I made a complaint.I got the combo #2. The portion of meat that came with my pho was tiny and the broth was practically clear/ not dense with flavor. The flavor was watered down. The bubble tea was decent and the egg rolls were decent as well.

Went here having a taste for Pho while visiting the area. Severely disappointed. MyMouth was watering for some authentic pho, but I would have been better off with Cup-o-noodles. Broth was tasteless and watered down, very little meat, and the meat seemed to all be eye of round. This place must be for the locals as I did not see anymore remotely close to being able to know authentic vs not. That should've tipped me off right then. I know where I won't go again. Here! Try another place for real pho.

Just no! This is definitely not Vietnamese pho... watered down, broth, very little meat, scant veggies both in soup and on the side , with the owner even attempting to charge to get enough bean sprouts and basil for a party of 4 people... are you kidding me??!! The food is just plain tasteless. I'm from San Jose, CA where Pho abounds, so I know how pho is supposed to taste and this is not worth your time, energy, and most of all your money. Go somewhere else... and fast!

Excellent quality of food for the price; noticeably cheaper than its peers while noticeably better tasting. Menu selection is as one might expect, plus it's situated in downtown Falls Church.Parking: Street parking
