    V3.  The best item on the menu.
    George M.

    Booboo continues to be the most solid choice in the area for Vermicelli Rice middle bowls. Get V3. It is the best item on the menu. Trust me....

    (5/5) I recently stumbled upon Boo-Boo Pho on a total whim craving hot soup on a hot summer day (call me wild), and let me just say... no regrets. I started with the summer rolls, and boo-boo, they were incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and that peanut sauce? I'm obsessed. Creamy, rich, slightly sweet it deserves its own spotlight. Calms me down from my spicy pho I ordered the small steak pho ($13.97), and it hit all the right notes. The broth was bold, deep, and comforting. The noodles had perfect texture, and the fresh herbs and veggies added so much balance. The portion size was generous, and honestly, worth every penny. The restaurant itself was spotless. I could see straight into the kitchen and it looked super clean huge plus. The vibe inside was laid-back but inviting, perfect for a casual meal that still feels special. And let's talk options,this place has range. Bánh mì that looked amazing Vermicelli bowls, stir-fried noodles, rice plates A full drink menu with Thai iced tea, sparkling lemonades, and milk teas (next time, I'm getting one for sure) I'll be adding photos , but just know: Boo-Boo Pho is officially on my repeat list. Came here three times since June 28. Fresh, flavorful, affordable, and clean. What more could you ask for?

    The best Vietnamese food in the area, including Rockville. I always get the grilled pork chop with rice and egg, plus a Vietnamese iced milk coffee which is amongst the best I've had. An excellent restaurant hidden in a strip mall in Montgomery village. Highly recommend!

    BooBoo Pho Special (large)
    Angel P.

    Boo Boo is a Vietnamese restaurant located in the Montgomery Village center. My partner and I dined in for a weekday lunch and we got the BooBoo Pho special, grilled pork vermicelli bowl, and papaya salad. All the dishes were good, and flavorful. The pho broth was good, and you can really taste the cloves used. It's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. Service was good and fast. I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

    Brisket Pho (3.15.24)
    Carroll N.

    3.15.24 This is a Vietnamese restaurant located in Montgomery Village Center. They serves appetizers, pho (noodle soup), banh mi (sandwiches), rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, and salads. I had lunch with my dad. He got the P1. BooBoo Pho Special and hot tea. I got the Brisket Pho and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I also got R3. Grilled Beef with Steamed White Rice with an added egg for my hubby to go. The brisket was tender and yummy, but there wasn't a lot of meat. My ice coffee was tasty. It had a creamy and frothy layer of top, which was a unique experience. My hubby said his dish was good too. Server was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. I liked the wall decor which included license plates, a map, and global currency.

    Booboo pho special (P1)
    Justine T.

    Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and good food. Not the best pho I've ever had, but still delicious! I got the booboo pho special - broth was good, but they were skimping on the meat. The grilled porkchop (R1 from the menu) was flavorful and juicy, but I wish they added more sides to that dish for the price (it was just a fried egg, tomato/cucumber and pickled veg). Overall, I would come back if I was in the area!

    Spring roll
    Gillian C.

    Food is very good but service isn't great unfortunately. I ordered a pork banh mi and they brought out the wrong dish, so I just had them remove it from my order. My husband is vegan and they also had difficulty explaining what was in their sauces which can be dangerous for people. The resturant itself seemed very clean, just make sure you get what you order! The prices are excellent though, I will say!

    Shrimp bahn mi
    Brittany C.

    Please do yourself a favor and don't waste your money. This food was pretty terrible and tasted like nothing. The chicken wings just tasted like fried oil. The meat itself wasn't cooked enough and had no seasoning whatsoever on it not even salt. The spring rolls were OK. I would say that that was the best thing that we got my mom enjoyed her pho but said it was pretty lackluster again no seasonings no nothing. I gotta bond me with shrimp. The bread they use is not a good choice for the sandwich and there was four pieces of shrimp a little bit of cucumber and a couple more things on it but again it just should've been filled better because of the size of the bread I think if they're gonna give the amount that they gave, they should have a smaller bread and most of the bread I just had to peel off because it was just hard and not good. Overall, if I could give zero stars I would, but I hope that they can step their game up because I don't like to see any small businesses fail.

    Summer Rolls
    Amy S.

    This was my first visit here. The service was good. Simple decors. I ordered a small pho with meatballs. It was good but could have a little more depth in flavor. The summer rolls were fresh and excellent with delicious peanut dipping sauce. I am willing to give the pho another try and other dishes.

    Steak and tripe pho with mango slush
    Alex M.

    Booboo Pho is such an underrated pho spot, i always come with my friend and order the steak and tripe with a mango slush and it never disappoints! The service is great and they dont bother you when you're eating they just let you enjoy your food which is great if you just come to chill and eat like me hehe (i am still very much appreciative of them and the water refills i get!!!) but i highly recommend this spot its one of my favorite pho spots to just eat and chill and watch my youtube lol. Always great fast and consistent!! 1000/10

    Great new addition to the neighborhood. I'm curious to hear more about how they came up with the name for the restaurant. Stopped by here for a late lunch. Our party of two shared the pork banh mi and chicken vermicelli plate with an egg roll. I thought it was pretty standard Vietnamese food. They also have some Thai dishes on the menu. I'll have to work my way through their menu and try all of the dishes. Fast and friendly service. Plenty of parking available in the shopping center.

    Clean and friendly with a full menu. The rice noodle bowls look great but I've only had the soup. The broth is a bit bland but everything else is so nice. I'll keep coming back!

Pho Nom Nom was close and had decent reviews so off I went. I walked into a pleasant, smallish restaurant with soothing decor. Several tables and booths were occupied, so I took that as a good sign that people liked the food. The server, Ben, was attentive and helped me choose a pho: slices of round steak and meatballs. I ordered a large bowl but should have gotten a small. A robot delivered my order to the table with the help of Ben, which was a hoot. I have to say that the scent of the broth hit my nose first and it was heavenly. The accompaniments of lime, basil, bean sprouts and jalapeno slices were very fresh. I added a few modest squirts of sriracha sauce and got to eating. The round steak was a nice surprise ... steak in pho can be very chewy and this bowl had decently tender slices. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the meatballs. They looked like half slices of a firm sausage (for comparison). They didn't taste bad, they just weren't my jam and I enjoyed the steak more. Next time I'd like to try the steak and brisket. Comfort food is filling so I took my leftovers home so I could have the pho for dinner (yay!). Of course, I had to end the meal with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Strong in the best way and not overly sweet, I took it to go and it gave me plenty of energy to finish my errands throughout the day.

I have not tried the pho here but I really enjoyed the bun rieu and the com tam plate my mom ordered. My bun rieu had an ample amount of good quality crab meatballs, fried tofu, shrimp cake, and pork blood. I added extra peppers and asked for a little extra shrimp paste for my soup but that's my preference. I got my fix without having to spend all day cooking or driving all the way to Eden Center. I had a bite of the grilled pork chop with rice which was delicious and the fish sauce was actually to my liking here! So glad they opened right in Gaithersburg so close to home.
