    Large veggie pho with extra tofu
    Lexi R.

    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.

    Small Brisket Pho

    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!

    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.

    $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.

    Pho P19. Pho Suon Boo

    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.

    Number 3 and 6 :)

But why show up for the food if you can't even get a table!! But I was extremely disappointed with their reservation system. I had put in a request for a reservation more than 24 hrs before the intended time and while yes I never received a "confirmation" and on the email it does say "this is not a confirmation", however, I have never had such a poor reservation system experience with any other restaurant. I had shown up in to the restaurant in the bitter cold and paid for parking only to find that they never confirmed the reservation on their end. SMH. And was an hour wait....EXACTLY why I wanted to make a reservation to avoid all of this. Moral of the story, don't trust their reservation system, if you want a table.

The service is a hit or a miss depending on who you get, sometimes great and sometimes a bit slow. But not horrible. The food. So this is known for their ramen. I think that their ramen is solid, not amazing but good. Decent broth flavor and good chew in the noodles, I personally prefer a hotter broth, but it comes out slighter warmer than room temp (not my fav, but still good). The Chashu is usually good most of the time, tender and not too chewy, there was a few times that it was meh, but most of the time it's good! The ramen, 3.5/5 The Izakaya part. The yakitori is lacking. The chicken thigh should be the most tender and flavorful but it was so dry (how can you mess up dark meat?) and lacked depth in flavor. Chicken 1.5/5 The US Wagyu is mediocre. You can tell that it's US cause it's tough. Sometimes it's tender and great and other times it's a bit tough. Steak 3/5 The sushi. Mhm, the sushi is so expensive a bit overpriced doe what you get, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. Their special rolls are ~ $20 range, but the size of the roll is about the same as their "standard rolls" seems not worth that premium price. Usually at most sushi places their special rolls are larger in size and makes it worth paying more for. Even their standard nirgri prices are double than most places. I have gotten a variety of rolls over the years and it's honestly just okay. Good sushi, but small and super overpriced. 3/5

The toppings, both for our pho and the limes for our water, were abundant and fresh, vibrant even. What made the meal spectacular was the kindness and generosity of our host(s).
