Excellent Pho. I go back for the P2 regularly. Their broth is a little lighter and the tastes are a little brighter. All the veggies are so fresh I think they're growing them in the back. How fresh? So fresh that I have a twig of basil that I threw in a glass of water to keep fresh for another meal and it's still growing and flowering a month later. read more

Ex-cel-lent! First of all, it's a great name! It also happens to be true! I find the food here to be euphoric and euphoria-inducing ... and delicious! It's healthy, nutritious, filling-but-not-too-filling, with a great selection and fantastic service! The parking is plentiful, free, close by and easy to access, the area is clean, safe and quiet with a lovely green space across the street, and basically it all couldn't be better! I got the tofu appetizer and pancake this particular time -- my first in-person, this being a post-pandemic-times event (visit)! -- but I have been ordering food online from here for years and have never once been disappointed! Overall super-yummy and excellent! Yay! :-D read more

It was the perfect day to enjoy outdoor seating! We ordered a large bowl of pho noodles with cooked brisket and a side of summer rolls. The service was decent and quick. The pho broth was refreshing, though a bit on the bland side. My only real complaint was the chili oil sauce--it had a flavor that was noticeably different from what I'm used to and didn't quite complement the dish. The chili oil sauce had a curry-like taste. Still, the meal was satisfying, affordable, and conveniently located. I'd definitely come back to try other items on the menu. read more

This is a nice hole-in-the-wall Pho spot in Kentlands. I came in for dinner with my sister on a weeknight and it was slow. Service was quick, and they were nice. Instead of having traditional pho soup, I was craving lemongrass meat. I ordered the grilled lemongrass beef with vermicelli noodles. I was pleased with my selection! Food tasted good, perfect portion size and wasn't heavy. Will certainly be back! Great food, convenient location and reasonably priced. read more

I went here for lunch and ordered the Bun Bo Hue on the menu. The BBH came out, hot and not microwave. You can tell because microwave food will be hot for a short time then cool down, the broth here was hot until the end. The BBH soup flavor was on point to what I am used to eating BBH in California and Vietnam. The only complaint I have is the BBH noodle is too soggy. The noodle was overcooked making it mushy and making the bowl of BBH went down in point. I hope the restaurant correct the over cooked mushy noodle. As I make my way around VMD to try out vietnamese dishes, EK is a place I would come back again. read more

I'm not sure why I never stopped in this place before today. It is one of my biggest blunder. I opted for carry-out. I ordered my go-to dishes from a Vietnamese restaurant, Shrimp Summer Rolls and Pork Vermicelli. The rolls were so fresh. You can tell that they were made to order. The peanut sauce was to die for. The pork vermicelli was good that I finished the whole thing. I couldn't stop. I just kept eating until it was all gone. The sauce for the vermicelli was so good. It had a kick, not spicy - just a kick. It's definitely a nice surprise. I can't wait to go back and try other items. read more

OK - I've been holding out on a review because I wanted to "gate keep" this place. It is absolutely my top Pho place in the DMV area. I've brought a few of my Vietnamese friends and they say the soup tastes like home or even close to their mother's cooking which is a high honor for another pho place. I normally get the Euphoria special pho which comes with plenty of brisket and ox tail. Recently I ordered their vermicelli noodle dish special which came with lemongrass chicken, grilled shrimp and a spring roll. Everything was delicious and tasty. If you're hesitant to try, be my guest, but this place is hands down my #1 spot for Pho. read more

Do not order online from here. Their online system charged me for an order that was never sent to the restaurant. The manager had no idea how to resolve it and neither did support with their online vendor. Ended up having to file a dispute with my card company to get a refund. read more

What could be better when you're feeling sick but a hot bowl of pho delivered to your door. This was my first time trying this place and it won't be the last. I order the summer rolls and the tai pho (eye of round steak). The summer rolls and peanut sauce were perfect and everything about the pho was just as I wanted. Tender beef, perfectly cooked noodles, delicious broth and all the sides I need-onions, scallions, cilantro, jalapeño, lime, bean sprouts, hoisin, hot sauce. And what made me the absolute happiest was how it was packaged for delivery. The broth was separate from the noodles and beef, which avoided over cooking them. And all the sides were nicely separated. It was fun to put together and was easy for me to make half now and save half for later. I'm a new fan-thank you Euphoria! read more

So I used to actually like this place, then they raised prices and the food became worse so I stopped going to it. Recently dragged back by some friends... I can no longer dislike this place, and it's actually become rather great. The Pho broth has become way more flavorful than before so I have to give them credit there. I still think their Bun Bo Hue is subpar and would suggest avoiding compared to other options in Rockville (or if you are from CA), but their Pho has won me over. The Ban Mi's are not over filled, but delicious and a nice compliment to a bowl of Pho if you are a big eater! read more

10/13/2021 A solid 3.5. My colleague and I came here for lunch on a Wednesday at noon. We were the only ones there the entire time. I would have expected more patrons to come in given the snail like pace of the kitchen. If it was that slow for only two patrons, I wonder what the wait time would have been when they are busy. I ordered Fried Meat Spring Rolls as an app. I wasn't particularly wowed by them. They were average at best. For my entree, I ordered the Vermicelli Delight Bowl (beef, pork, and chicken). My colleague ordered the Vermicelli Euphoria Special Shrimp, Chicken, and Spring Roll Bowl. We both liked our bowls. The meat in my bowl were flavorful and the vermicelli was cooked just right, not over or undercooked like at other places. My colleague ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and said it was a bit too strong for her liking. Our server disappeared into the kitchen for awhile and my colleague had to go up to the counter and call out to get his attention. Again, while we were there, I only saw one to go bag which a patron was picking up as we were settling the tab. I am not sure what took so long for everything. I haven't decided based on this experience if I will return. I'm not a patient person so unless they can pick up the pace, I'm probably not coming back. read more

This must have undergone a management change in recent years. The place was fine before but definitely elevated a notch in food quality and service. Their pho is flavorful - well simmered beef with balanced seasoning. I'm not a fan of the heavy cinnamon/fennel type that seems to be popular and Euphoria is one of the few places that manages it well. They are super generous with their greens, which I loved. I wasn't used to the fried onions sprinkled on top - so keep that in mind and let them know in advance. Their banh mis were also good and they use a softer bread instead of baguette so it was easier on the roof of our mouths. Service was incredible. They are attentive and accommodating - including adjusting to dietary restrictions and no-gripe substitution for veggies in lieu of heavy rice on the pork chops. Also....did I mention they have mango sticky rice??!? An easy win and delightful surprise for sure. read more

Coming from Ohio, we thought the prices were reasonable. It's within our grandkid's walking distance but somehow never got to the restaurant until this weekend The ambience and service was a 3 star, nothing notable, but the food was good. The soup was excellent and served correctly. The tendons were done very well and tasted just like my friend's mom soup. The wings were also done well. I said 4 star because of the food. Come try it. It's well worth visiting read more

Stopped for an early supper after picking up the yogurt samples for tomorrow night's tasting. Little hidden gem on Main Street, 6 tables in a tastefully decorated room + 1 outside. 97° so we passed on the pho and got the Euphoria bowl. Nice texture on the vermicelli, topped with veggies, roast pork, chicken, a skewer of large perfectly grilled shrimp and a spring roll with a savory meat filling more like lumpia. Didn't look like a lot of food but I was comfortably filled. The dipping sauce deserves special mention, balancing sweet, sour, fish sauce and sweet. Jasmine iced tea was very refreshing. Delicious food, cordial service, good value. Five ***** and bookmarked for next time I am over there. Yelp search for the win! read more

Total hidden gem. This place is so unassuming in the Kentlands, you would never know that they're serving up some of the best Pho and Vietnamese food in Gaithersburg. But they certainly are. Trust me. *I went with the Pho ( Tai) *What they call the Vietnamese Pancake ( more commonly referred to as a Banh Xeo) *And an order of grilled shrimp summer rolls. oh *And a grilled pork Banh Mi No... I did not eat it all in one sitting... just most of it ;) And yes everything I had was absolutely delicious. If you've never looked up a recipe for Pho. You should. It's truly a labor of love. Most Pho recipes take 8+ hours of slow cooking to achieve such a flavorfully deep broth. Also, it's not a mistake that the broth is super clear. That is a hallmark of Pho's that takes a good deal of effort to achieve. This Pho was just tops. Excellent quality, the noodles were cooked well, and the meat was quite fresh. The grilled pork banh mi was not the best cooked meat banh mi I've ever had (that currently goes to Mi La Cay in Wheaton), but it was quite good. And the Banh Xeo ( which is like an egg pancake that is folded over and filled with beansprouts, meat, and other seasonings) was so delicious that I'm really craving it pretty hard now that I'm typing. One thing I will note is that the menus that are on the delivery services that they currently use are all a bit different. And I truly could not find one that I could put in the full order I wanted on the site/app. So I ended up calling the store directly and had them just take my order for delivery over the phone. Glad I could save them a few bucks too. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again. High quality Viet food, nearby, that is reasonably priced. I'll take that all day every day. read more

This Vietnamese Restaurant has great dishes!! It's. Small restaurant near Whole Foods. They have a table outside if you want to dine outside. It was pretty cold that day so not for me.

Definitely will be back when I'm in this area! read more

I was not happy with their food and service. I told them I was allergic to cilantro when I placed my order. However, when the food came, there's cilantro in the pho. Then the waiter took the food back to the kitchen and simply removed the cilantro from the pho. If you have food allergy, I wouldn't recommend you going to this place. read more

An outstanding meal. A cozy restaurant with really good service. The staff was attentive and we felt like they wanted you to dine there. The service was timely and they even gave us a water pitcher so we weren't thirsty. An excellent value for tasty food. We had shrimp summer rolls for our appetizer, and shared 2 entrees - pork vermicelli and Pho (Eye round and brisket). The flan dessert was perfect. Looking forward to a 2nd visit. read more

I have a lot of patience and compassion towards small businesses and restaurants but what I have ZERO tolerance for is a restaurant that does not care if they serve their customers spoiled food. Got the vermicelli bowl special with shrimp, chicken and egg roll. Egg roll was completely rancid - the meat sour from that spoiled taste. Chicken was definitely not fresh either but shrimp was fine. I let them know, they sent me a new egg roll, freshly fried but inside also completely rancid. Didn't even try to apologize or comp the bowl. I had to ask if they could comp some of it and they took off a few dollars for the egg roll. I get it's a small business and in times like these, every penny counts but people also don't go out to eat with the intention to get sick and eat rancid food that has contaminated the entire bowl. It's this lack of care towards food safety that crosses a line for me and makes a restaurant completely distrust-worthy. I am giving two stars because their oxtail pho was very good and tasted fresh (light on msg and clear broth). It's a no-return for me for sure given how many other great restaurants are in Kentlands. read more

Euphoria Kitchen - Looks beautiful but chicken was not fresh and egg roll's meat was completely rancid and spoiled. - Vietnamese Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

You had me at Pho. 1. the Pho was perfect. The broth has a nice mix of slightly sweet, slightly tangy flavors. The noodles were perfect. The meat was prepared perfectly, and overall the Pho was awesome. 2. The egg rolls were ok but could have been better. The sweet chili sauce was good, but well, I've had better Overall a great restaurant. I love the Pho. It was well worth the wander that way! As noted, the noodles were perfect. That is half the battle with Pho (the other half is the broth). If you are a fan of Pho, great place to stop! read more

Came here for some banh mi sandwiches, right before heading to the Montgomery County Fairground for the Hot Air Balloon Festival. The banh sandwiches were a little bit smaller than the ones I'm familiar with in Virginia, but I can't fault the place since it is mainly a pho restaurant. The banh mi sandwiches were made fresh and it tasted yummy. Located in a charming part of Gaithersburg, this restaurant offers excellent Vietnamese food! read more

No, just no, I'm sorry. A lot has sure changed since when I first visited. I'm not sure if they have gotten lazy here, but I found an eyelash, in my food. I've seen worse in my pho's before, fine, no biggy, but then my pho was sprinkled heavily pepper. I've never ordered pho and had so much pepper sprinkled that it looks like little gnats floating on the top of the bowl and I would know, I've been to Vietnam and had (authentic) pho. The service was terrible. The only silver lining was that the price was about $1-2 cheaper than other pho places around the area. I'm sorry, Owners, please do something. read more

This place was recommended by a good friend only for the oxtail pho so we ran over to try! It was on a rain day so it was perfect. We ordered the summer rolls with this peanut sauce that tasted like the purest peanut butter they truly grew the peanuts in the back and puréed it to perfection. WOW, I could order the sauce by itself. I ordered a large house special pho and my partner ordered the brisket and added oxtails. Man!, that oxtail was chef kiss. The service was super speedy assuming it was the owners daughter she didn't say much but she was super efficient. The decoration was super homey and filled with plants and made it feel so welcoming. The tunes were nice and it was super easy to find the place. We definitely will return! read more

Came here to try a different Vietnamese restaurant in the area, definitely not coming back. The food is decent but the wait is terrible. Once you order, you'll wait about an hr for your food to come out. They prioritize take out orders and the customers dining in are left to wait longer than they should It was a slow, rainy night with zero communication or apology. If I didn't ask where my order was, I don't think I would've gotten anything. read more

We ordered takeout by telephone, when I arrived to pick up our food it turn es out they had forgotten to make one of our dishes. They proceeded to make that item, but it took another 20 minutes, which means every other item got cold.but Even worse, I had ordered a tofu-based item for one of our diners who is a vegetarian... but they made it with pork instead! Which he discovered after taking his first bite. And there were no other items he could eat. So to recap...food was late, cold, and a vegetarian was served pork instead of tofu, and then went hungry. We will never be back. read more

Very good! I had the veggie pho, which had a great flavor. The place was also very clean with clean tables and menu. Overall great experience! read more

The food is really good don't get me wrong. However, the workers there are absolutely ignorant and dismissive. They barely paid any attention to us at all and took away our sauce while we were eating without even stopping to ask. We even left a generous tip and they told us to just drop it on the table without so much as a simple thanks. I recommend takeout when coming here because the service is really off-putting and ruined my mood for the rest of the day. read more

Good quality service here. Location is in a nice area! But the food wasn't at its best. I got the pho with all toppings, and my husband got the bun Bo hue (spicy soup). Both soup were watery and lackluster. I had to seasoned my pho generously with fish sauce, pepper and the condiments. read more

I thought the food here was great, but the service was pretty slow. I think we waited about 45 minutes for our food to come. We got the Fried Shrimp Spring Rolls and P1 Pho Noodle Soup. The spring rolls were super crispy and delicious. The pho was also great. The meats were very tender, the soup flavor was good, the noodles are chewy and the best part was that I didn't feel like there was too much MSG and sodium in the broth! I'll definitely be back here to warm up with a nice bowl of pho on a cold day :) read more

I'm a creature of habit when it comes to pho, sticking to Pho House in Germantown. But my friend and I were in Kentlands and decided to try out Euphora Kitchen. It's a family owned store, right next to the new bubble tea shop. It's small and clean, no frills and has excellent service. We shared a Vietnamese summer roll, and I got a bowl of pho and my friend got the grilled chicken dish. The pho was well flavored and the broth was perfect for a cold fall night to warm up the insides and be comforting. The portion sizes were perfect and the prices too were not too expensive. It seemed like the place had a lot of take out business and not enough dine in. Although it was a cold night so it might have been a slower night for them as a result. read more

I had one fairly good visit here and one utter disaster. During the good visit the eye round pho was tasty and the coconut smoothie was excellent...on the second visit we waited a very long time for our food and there was a significant delay between when my order arrived and when they finally brought out my son's dish (we took it to go...it was that late). They also didn't tell us they were completely out of pho until we had sat down and were ready to order...! The coconut smoothie the second time around was awful, as were both my and my son's dishes...the inconsistency was just too much of a problem and we won't be back. read more

I'm writing this while thoroughly enjoying leftovers from here. Most places in the Kentlands close at 9:00pm, but Euphoria closes at 9:30, and those 30 minutes made all the difference last night when we decided around 9:00pm to get dinner. It's has a cozy, casual feel that's perfect for a spur of the moment dinner out. Id been here before, but had never tried the pho. Last night I got the eye round/brisket pho, and some beef summer rolls. I'm no expert, but the pho here is delightfully refreshing, yet filling. The pho had a good amount of meat in it for the price. The summer rolls were perfect with the peanut sauce (that I could've drank an entire jar of). I took home half of my soup, and they gave me a quart of broth to take home with it. I'm finishing up my leftovers as I finish this review, and I'm already craving more. It's that good. read more

The blandest PHO I've ever had. Nice looking restaurant with very friendly service. The guy next to me had a chicken and rice dish and seemed pleased. I'd recommend one of those, now about the PHO... ...I have been eating PHO for 20+ years. This was the blandest bowl I recall having. There was no discernible beef or spice flavor. When I added the lime, sriracha and hoison, the broth just tasted like lime with a little sriracha and hoison essence. It was very very plain. I ordered my meat rare and got well done eye round, and not a lot of it. Price for a large soup and an iced coffee was about $14.40, which is on the high side. I think the iced coffee at $4.25 was the kicker. The glass was packed with ice with a little bit of iced coffee added to fill. Easily drained and left with a full glass of ice after a few sips. Also saw a guy come out of the kitchen with latex gloves on and then proceed to touch his nose, face and dishes with the gloved hands. Now, maybe he wasn't also cooking and the gloves were just to keep his hands clean and not the food. Still... Seems like some growing pains as they have only been open a month. As I said, it was very friendly. I'll give it a month and try it again. In the meantime, for local PHO you can go over to Pho City or Pho Eatery for a better bowl. I do hope they do well as it's a nice location for a Vietnamese restaurant. read more
