I was very pleasantly surprised by Pho 52 in Frederick, MD. I'd heard great things about it, so I tried it out on a cold, cloudy day. Tucked in the corner of a tiny shopping center, you probably wouldn't give the restaurant a second thought, but you're missing out! There is very little parking, approximately six spaces that all businesses share, so be aware. The restaurant's interior is very simple, but I was immediately greeted by a gentleman behind the register who welcomed me and pointed me to the only empty table available (a packed house). This gentleman also took our orders. He was friendly, pleasant and helpful. I ordered pho ga and from the first bite, I was hooked. The broth was so flavorful! I also loved that Pho 52 offered dark meat chicken. I've never seen that at the other pho restaurants I've visited and I was quite happy with it. The portions are generous but not so big that you feel uncomfortably full. I highly recommend Pho 52. It's a great place for delicious Vietnamese food!

I'm a sucker for a large veggie pho with extra tofu. They always make the tofu perfectly and the broth is the best. They have a lot of options and all of their food is great. I've never heard of anyone disliking a meal from here. I also enjoy this soup as leftovers and love to eat it cold too. This place is my favorite spot in Frederick and they are always so kind here. I probably eat here once or twice a week. Always hits the spot!

Pho 52 is my favorite pho spot in the Frederick and surrounding areas. Their pho broth is clean and the bun bo hue (spicy noodle soup) has amazing and authentic flavor. The veggies and tofu they use in their veggie pho are top tier and we prefer it over other pho restaurants. My kids are a fan of the lemongrass beef with vermicelli noodles. I order take out often from here and the one time I dined in the customer service was good and food came out in a timely manner.

I ordered from this relatively new restaurant at the recommendation of my friend who is Vietnamese and thinks this is the best in Frederick. I ordered the soup on Friday evening and the vermicelli noodles today. The broth was outstanding and both dishes were executed and packaged for takeout very nicely. My husband is on a low sodium diet and the owners husband who works front of house recommended the chicken pho. Both orders were takeout but noted that the inside dining area looked very clean so I would consider dining in next time.

This is my first time trying Pho in the Frederick area and I absolutely loved it! Service was amazing, the nice man at the front was very sweet and made sure my pho was good! It is a very small area but it felt very cozy. I was feeling very sick that day and this place made my day 100x better!! Will definitely be coming more often Also I got a small brisket Pho and it was the perfect size!

$5 for 2 summer rolls Was literally just lettuce shrimp and wrap nothing else

Food was ok, nothing special. Summer rolls were literally just lettuce and shrimp.... Got the beef pho and that was pretty good. Summer rolls were $5 for two. Super disappointed with these.

As someone who travels the country multiple days a week for work I often try to find the best pho, ramen, Thai, dim sum etc... in each city I go to. I would say in my life I have had well over 25 different Vietnamese restaurants pho. Out of all of them this was in my top 2 if not the best I've ever had. The broth is absolutely spot on and the owners are extremely nice and attentive. If you are a pho connoisseur, this is exactly the bowl you are looking for. It's worth a 30+ minute drive. Believe me.

I stumbled into Pho 52 on a work trip to Frederick and I'm very glad I did. My god the soup! I had bun bo hue that absolutely rivals what I had in Vietnam. It might be better.

Pho 52 may well serve the best pho in the mid-Atlantic. And I say this as one who lived and worked in Vietnam for many years! I have enjoyed the pho here at least a dozen times and found the quality of the broth to be rich and consistent and the ingredients always fresh. But also look beyond the pho to other tasty items on the menu. My wife and I also enjoy the bun thit nuong, bun bo Hue and other items -- all wonderful. Service is always efficient and friendly. read more

Definitely authentic pho! We just moved to the area from Northern Virginia, and were looking for a new go to pho spot. Definitely found it! The broth is perfect and the portion sizes are huge. My wife loved the Banh Mi and says that's what she'll be getting every time. I always get Pho Tai and that was an extremely large portion. Service was superb and it's run by a family. Very homey and had a good time chit chatting with the owners. Can't go wrong with this place! They just opened up and we look forward to our next time we will be visiting. read more

Pho 52 is an intimate family-run Vietnamese restaurant that has become my favorite spot since moving to downtown Frederick. It even has parking though I'm able to walk there. The Pho is my go to, but they have a wide variety of food choices, so you can go there often and not tire of the same dish. There is always enough for an extra lunch the next day. The service is friendly and accommodating. The food is authentic, delicious, and well priced. It will become your favorite place, too. read more

Miles and miles above the rest in the area. Small but very clean and cute. Owner told me they took over the old space about 6 months ago and after some conversation I discovered the familiarity with her flavors were because she came from my favorite pho restaurant in Rockville. Prices were better than her competitors and her food also.. her husband was the server and the spring rolls crispy and so fresh! Her broth piping hot and flavorful and the chili oil and authentic huy fong sriracha just made the meal. I will be back soon and often. read more

My wife and I are drive down from Central NY on our way to Richmond, and we typically stop in Frederick for the evening. Tonight we decided to try another restaurant in town, but on our way we found Pho 52, and decided to give it a try. It's hidden in the corner of a small strip mall. So keep your eyes peeled. We ordered a shrimp spring roll, and a pork (lemongrass) spring roll. Both were fresh and flavorful, served with a peanut sauce on the side. I had the Pho (Steak/Brisket), and my wife had the Pho (Steak/Meatball). The broth was very good with just the right amount of flavor. The meat and noodles were delicious. Service was fine. It was very clean. They have only been open for two months so I do not believe the have a liquor license yet. The staff was very polite and attentive. A great spot to eat, that we will visit again when we return. It has maybe 12-13 tables and a take out counter. Good luck to them!!! read more

I'm a Viet person from southern CA so I feel like I have pretty sound judgment when it comes to Vietnamese food. We weren't expecting to find good Vietnamese food in a little corner strip mall but HOLY MOLY this place rivals Orange County's Little Saigon! The bun bo hue and pho dac biet (with oxtail and short rib) were phenomenal!! Service was quick and so attentive. Casual quick dining. Smaller dining area so may not be great for bigger groups. Such a gem though!!! 10/10 , would come back. read more

Pho 52 is the realization of a dream come true. Tina Truong is the owner/manager of a slice of Vietnam’s culture and foods brought to you here in Frederick. Seven years ago, she left to become an American Citizen and achieve the hopes and dreams of all immigrants to succeed and share her culture and tastes bringing the two countries closer together.

History

Established in 2023.

Ms. Truong has been in the business of creating and serving the best Pho for years. Coming to the USA seven years ago she set out with the goal of opening her own restaurant and on the Harvest Moon on 9/29/2023 that dream came true with the Grand Opening on Pho 52.

I'd rate this pho a 3.5 due to a lack of meat (it was mostly the meat balls), but it was at a reasonable price of $14. They give cute little sauce jars with hoisin sauce and siracha sauce! The third sauce is my favorite, though. It's vinegar with pickled (?) onions and chili! So yum... For dessert we got the mango sticky rice!! A bit on the pricy side at $9, but it was super good!

Lucky Corner Vietnamese Cuisine at Westview

My wife and I stopped here for lunch recently on the recommendation of a friend…read more We don't know too much about Vietnamese food and the waitress was very helpful. We settled on dinner portions of combination fried rice with chicken/beef/pork and an entrée of beef cubed steak. We split both dishes and there was still enough leftovers of both to take home in a carryout container for another lunch a couple of days later. The fried rice was the best I've ever had... In addition to its flavor, it had the largest pieces of chicken, pork and beef I have ever seen in fried rice. (see the photo) The beef cubed steak entrée was also quite tasty and cooked exactly how I ordered it....medium rare. However, a few of the pieces were a little tough and grisly. Restuarant itself is spacious, clean and nice... Same with the restroom...spacious and clean. The cost of the two dinner entrées and two soft drinks was $50 with a $10 tip making it a $60 lunch, which is pretty expensive... except when you consider that we were able to take quite a bit of the entrées home with us and have them for lunch a few days later which brought the cost down to $30 per lunch. Would have awarded five stars if the beef cube steak was a little more tender and and if there were no gristly pieces All in all, it was an excellent dining experience and I will go back there and dine again in the future.

The food and service has always been fine, but my experience last night ordering through Uber Eats was so poor, that I won't patronize them again. The food took more than an hour for delivery, which I expected; it was a Friday night and I knew they were busy. However, we ordered Crispy Tamarind Chicken as an entree and they forgot to include the sauce with the vegetables which goes on the chicken. Without it, it's just a pile of fried chicken. I tried calling the restaurant, but more than 15 calls went directly to voicemail and I couldn't leave a message because their voicemail was full. This has happened before when we have tried to call in a take out order. When they finally answered, the woman said she would check with the kitchen and then told me they could remake the sauce, but I would have to come pick it up because they were so busy. By this time, it was at least 45 minutes since the chicken had been cooked and it would have taken me at least 40 minutes to go pick up the sauce, so I refused. She said they would not refund me; I had to complain to Uber Eats. They know they are going to be busy on Friday nights; lack of staff is a continuing problem which never seems to be addressed and they need to upgrade their phone system and answer their phone. The kitchen staff is sloppy; there is no excuse for forgetting one of the main components of a dish. It would have been nice if they had at least apologized. As much as my husband likes this place, there are plenty of other great options in Frederick and they are where I'll be eating in the future.

We started with both cocktails and mocktails, which were a great way to kick off the meal. For appetizers, we ordered the samosas and the Lasoni Gobi (stir-fried cauliflower). Both were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we had the Vegetable Biryani and the Chicken Biryani. They were beautifully presented in adorable little pots and tasted just as good as they looked. You also can't go wrong with the garlic naan--it was the perfect addition to the meal. To finish, we shared the tres leches cake, and it was amazing--the perfect sweet ending. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would love to return to try even more items on the menu.

They did not offer a separate lunch menu, so I ordered a couple of things and took leftovers. Their special on manchow soup might lead one to wonder if there is such a thing as too many crispy noodles, to which my answer is no. Drowning them in the garlicky soup made for engaging eating, and on a cold day I was glad for a warm soup. This restaurant offers a dish of paneer which is toasted and placed atop of a rich sauce; I've seen versions of this dish at other modern Indian restaurants and while I don't eat a ton of paneer, this one was a winner. They had some vegan options but I could have hoped for more. A paratha was wildly flaky. They asked if I wanted drinks without having shown me a drink menu. I got plenty of food to satisfy myself.

The servers were helpful, and the decoration inside added to the comforting, homey atmosphere. There were a lot of warm, natural tones. I was a big fan. I'll come here again!

Ingredients were fresh, portions were generous, the ambiance was nice, and the service was friendly. I was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian pho--lots of veggies and fried tofu was good. I added a side of shrimp for extra protein, but next time I'd probably just ask for extra tofu. I did order the beef broth, so the vegetarian pho wasn't fully vegetarian/vegan.

Third time, no good again and said we wouldn't come back. Today we came back because we were in the area and we were hoping it got better. I got the bun rieu and my family got pho. Every time we eat here...1) the portions are skimpy, 2) they really don't care about the quality of their food 3) we are always still hungry after we eat here. I'll post a pic of the bun rieu I got, it was barely a bun rieu. It was like a hu tieu with annatto oil. They put these mushrooms in it, then two shrimp balls, 2 shrimps, 1 barely small pork rib knob, and tofu. If you know Vietnamese food you know this isn't considered bun rieu, $16... I don't get it. I feel bad for the people that order this food and think it's Vietnamese food. Another reason why we won't be returning is because the owner was ripping into his employee right in front of patrons. The way he was talking to his employee was super disrespectful and should've been done in private or at least lower your voice. I would say the conversation lasted almost our whole dining experience. That was the last straw for us. If you're trying to teach life lessons or trying to better your employee, handle it better. The way you treat your people shows how you handle your business which is...poorly. Btw the toilet in the bathroom makes no sense. It's a square toilet and not friendly for women customers. It's the dumbest toilet I've ever seen. I'm honestly just more upset for the employee. he was super nice when taking our order. And has always been kind the times we went there.

I haven't tried any of the Korean or Latin dishes yet, but when I do, I'll report back. As I am a creature of habit, I of course ordered the pho dac biet. The broth was good! I'd rate this pho a 3.5 due to a lack of meat (it was mostly the meat balls), but it was at a reasonable price of $14. They give cute little sauce jars with hoisin sauce and siracha sauce! The third sauce is my favorite, though. It's vinegar with pickled (?) onions and chili! So yum... For dessert we got the mango sticky rice!! A bit on the pricy side at $9, but it was super good!

We were a…read morelittle hesitant at first since the place was completely dead, but we were proven very wrong when we got our food. For appetizers, we ordered the dried dumplings ($7.50 for 6 pieces) and the sweet pork buns ($5 for 2). They were both delightful. The dumplings were pleasantly chewy, with the best crunch on the bottom. They were huge and seasoned very well. The buns were soft and pillowy, with a nice amount of meat in them. They could have been seasoned a little more, but some hot mustard really made them amazing. For our meals, we decided to order the dinner combo ($12.50). It comes with an egg roll, plain fried rice, and your entree of choice. I got orange chicken and they got Hunan chicken. Both meals were absolutely amazing, with fantastic portions. It was seasoned perfectly, and the orange chicken was crispy to the point of having an audible crunch. There were even real orange peels in the sauce! We both had leftovers to bring home and were completely full. The meal ended with fortune cookies, and a complimentary strawberry mousse. It was light, and perfectly sweet to end the meal. The service at the restaurant itself was lovely. No one was constantly over our shoulder, but our drinks stayed full and the food came out hot and quickly. The restaurant was quiet, and comfortable.
