They serve comfort food if you like pho noodles. But the atmosphere isn't comfortable and the quality can vary. But I'm a picky eater so I can tell the differences. If you are first time here, don't worry about the quality because they are pretty good comparing with other local pho restaurants. But what you need to know are: 1) this restaurant is run by several senior Asian males. They don't smile and can be condescending. They always assume you don't understand them but in my experience that they missed hearing my words a lot, especially the place is quite noisy. And the attitude they have is YOU are lucky to find a table in their restaurant. So don't expect warm hospitality here. 2. Cash only and parking can be challenging during weekends and holidays. Lines can also be long in these days. It's very easy to find tables during weekdays though. 3. The waiter only gives you a minute to read their menu because they expect everyone has been eating there hundreds of times which already memorize their menu. 4. Expect to sit with strangers when it's crowded. Other than that, this is a good pho place. read more

This place is the perfect spot if you're just looking for a nice bowl of hot and fresh pho. This place is very no frills where you're not looking for great service but it's fast and efficient. There's so many options of pho and I appreciate that they are all the same price regardless of which combo you pick. They have pretty reasonable prices. This was my first time trying the traditional hot Vietnamese coffee and it was so delicious. I used to not be a coffee person but this really pushed me over the edge to start liking coffee. Reminder that this place is CASH ONLY. read more

The broth didn't feel as clear as it should be and the pho wasn't hot enough when served. But the flavors and the quality of the meat were still great! The service was fast too. I would probably go to the other location next time to see if it's better as this was my first time in this location. read more

Pho 75 - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Affordable pho, cash only. They do have an ATM inside if you need to withdraw cash. The restaurant specializes in JUST pho. Don't expect to come here to order appetizers, vermicelli, or a rice dish. Come here for the pho experience. It's a quick and simple pho restaurant. Don't expect extravagant service. They're here to take your order, get you your food, and clean up after you. That being said... Although the pho was good, I feel like this place is overhyped. There wasn't anything 'different' about it. It's authentic, but I can't place my finger on what makes it that way??? And if anything, I wish my pho stayed hotter. The price is cheap compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, but with inflation, it won't be as cheap as it ever was. If you live further away from Pho 75, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but we just had to try it since it's been a DMV staple. read more

If you care a lot about service, you wouldn't enjoy this place. But if you like pho for a good price, it would be worth it to come here. Like a lot of the what the other reviews say, the staff is efficient at what they do but they don't care for any pleasantries. The Pho came out quickly after we ordered even though the restaurant was packed on a weekday afternoon. After that, our waiter never checked in with us again. The pho itself tasted good and had big portions. Meat quality was decent as well. They do use good amount of MSG that I can taste. Be sure to bring cash for when you pay at the register! Otherwise you will have to use their ATM. read more

Pho 75 - Pho Slices of Eye-Round Steak and Beef Tripe - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Solid flavorful broth nestled in a small shopping center with decent parking. Next door to a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich shop. Just like with most Pho 75 spots the same simple dining setup with plenty of tables. I was greeted immediately and the staff was open for me to choose any spot to settle down in. Ordered a large bowl of Pho Dac Biet with extra added meatball protein on the side and a can of sprite with ice in a glass. The food came out hot and in less than 5 minutes. The broth here was full of flavor and rich. Exactly what I had expected. Total price for everything was just under $20 and if they had the Vietnamese spring rolls (goi cuon) with the peanut butter sauce I would have easily given a 5 star. They have a small selection but it's understandable as they're pretty good when it comes to their noodle soup offerings. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I suppose I could just copy and paste my review of the Pho 75 in Rosslyn, but I won't. They are basically the same experience. Cash only (though there is an ATM inside). One difference between the Pho 75 in Falls Church and the one in Rosslyn is that here, there is plenty of parking. And too, the Falls Church Pho 75 is next to Banh Mi DC where you can pick up some mighty good eggrolls as a way to top off your pho afterwards. This location is always very busy. But even if the line to be seated is spilling out the door, the line moves quickly. Service is brisk and no-nonsense, though still polite. If the server remembers you, he will dispense with providing you with a menu and just take your order right there on the spot. I like that! I have a bit of preference for their fragrant and tasty chicken broth over the still very good beef broth, so I always order the #17 (pho ga). You can order the regular or large size. The difference between the sizes is barely noticeable. For $2 extra, you can order a cup of extra meat. At Pho 75, I always order the coffee with condensed milk. The standard practice is to take your coffee in the mug, stir it with the condensed milk at the bottom of the mug, then pour it over the ice in a another glass. But me, I drink the coffee with a spoon, taking a spoonful of the rich dark delicious coffee with a dab of the sweet condensed milk from the bottom of the mug. The contrast in the flavors is a delightful experience. read more

This. Place. Is. Legit. We stopped by on a weekend and found a table quickly but the restaurant was packed! I ordered a small pho with brisket and tendon. It comes with a side of sprouts, limes, jalapeño, and basil. There are additional sauces and utensils at the table. The broth is so mind glowingly flavorful. The beef was plentiful, cut thick and very tender. I. Will. Be. Back. read more

Pho 75 has been a staple in the community for well over a decade, and for good reason--it's simply the best pho spot around. I've been coming here since I was a wee little kid, and it's always been a must-go for family, friends, or anyone visiting the area who asks, "Where's the best pho?" Hands down, Pho 75 takes the crown. The flavors are consistently on point, with rich, deeply layered broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and high-quality meats that make every bowl an experience. But what really sets this place apart? Even my mom--a notoriously picky pho eater--will only eat from here, which says everything about the authenticity and quality of their food. If you're looking for the real deal when it comes to pho, look no further. Pho 75 never disappoints! read more

Pho 75 Falls Church location is a staple of Northern Virginia. They are cash only (atm inside). It is right next to Banh Mi D.C. which is also a staple and a must try. On a weekend lunch rush, there is a line that goes out the door. They specialize in Pho only. You will not find any spring rolls or other dishes besides pho. The service is quick and the food comes out in a few minutes after you place the order. They are efficient in their system to get the lines moving. Due to inflation, the price of each bowl has gone up and I have been noticing that the portions are not as big as they used to be. Nevertheless, Pho 75 is a classic place for a quick bite. It could be challenging to go in and out of this parking lot as it is very busy. Don't forget to bring cash. read more

Seated right away, fast and effective service, clean restaurant and table, check. The pho? I'm sorry but what I ate was a fresh bowl of noodles, meat and veggies, in water. The broth had no taste at all. Isn't pho all about the broth. For a restaurant that only serves pho, I was dissapointed. Maybe an off day. read more

Pho 75 - #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Once upon a time, many decades ago (yes, I'm that old), I have weird memories of this place being dark and noisy and over-crowded like a refugee mess-hall. I remember hating the pho outings back then. I just wanted McDonald's. Then, at some point, Pho 75 made a shift to a quieter environment with a cleaned-up reputation, as non-Vietnamese caught on to this soup actually being ridiculously good. Unfortunately, we can't avoid the phone-addicted main character syndrome that is rampant everywhere these days. People loudly conversing face-to-face is now replaced with the muffled and crackled smart phone speaker on full volume, so the boors can share their conversations and choice of YouTube videos with everyone else. If the soup is on point, still the best pho I've had anywhere in the US... but I'd give up modern times for those nostalgic days of humans talking with other humans again. read more

Pho 75 serves up the best pho in the DMV, no question about it. And the Falls Church location is no different than the others. Simple, hot, tasty pho with a side of Vietnamese coffee - that's my standard order. And Pho 75 brings it with the deep, meaty broth, generous noodles and slices of beef with the right amount of bright green onions and cilantro to balance it out. Drop in the jalapenos and bean sprouts and a few basil leaves, and it's the perfect meal. The best pho in the DMV? The line outside is proof that everyone else agrees. If you haven't tried Pho 75, you're missing out! read more

Top tier. I have been going to this place forever and it always hits. The staff aren't necessarily overly friendly but they are efficient and get the job done. The interior isn't the prettiest but we aren't at a museum and it's the food that matters. By the way, I've been to Vietnam multiple times and this pho is authentic as hell. Amazing. Do not miss out. read more

Really good pho and the atmosphere is great too pluse I can walk there which is nice. I recommend this place chicken pho the best.

One of the best Pho places around. I have had the best Pho I have eaten here. I had to ding a star for inconsistent quality of the meat (one time it can be perfectly tender, the next can be chewy and fatty). Otherwise, very good Pho, fast service, if there is a line don't be turned away, it goes very quickly. The place is cash only, so remember to bring cash with you. They do have an ATM inside if you forget. read more

Definitely not! First impressions this restaurant needs a scrub down. Dirty walls, old beaten chops sticks, food on the floor... careful not to get food poisoning. Wouldn't even rate the service cause it is beyond lacking. Well atelast the pho has to be good, right? Nope! Not sure what the hype is. read more

Yum!! Stopped by when visiting Virginia with my friends today! I normally struggle at pho restaurants since I don't eat red meat, and was a little worried coming in only seeing one chicken option on the menu. I ordered the chicken pho with a vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Both were delicious! The broth had a rich flavor with a distinct spiced, almost cinnamon-y aroma. There were also plenty of green onions throughout the broth, adding to the depth of flavor. A lot of times with chicken phos at restaurants I find that the chicken gets tough in the broth, but here the chicken was sliced thin and stayed deliciously tender. I doctored mine up with the hoisin and sriracha provided at the table, and the sliced jalapeños and limes that came with the pho. Delicious! And extremely affordable, the small was only a little over $10--although I did come in pretty hungry and probably could've had a large instead. The vietnamese coffee was sweet and strong too, and complemented the pho. The environment is cozy and welcoming, with more of a crowd coming in as we were leaving. It does seem like it can get pretty busy inside! One thing to note is that they are cash-only, but there are ATMs in store to use if needed. The service was super quick, no complaints from me--we were seated immediately, our orders were taken quickly, and the food also came out fast. This is definitely the best pho I've had on the east coast, and I would love to come back! read more

Pho 75 - Pho ga (chicken pho)! - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

This is our favorite pho restaurant. It's cash only, super fast service, and soup quality/portions are awesome. Vast majority of customers are Vietnamese young and old. Inside is a typical casual atmosphere with lots of tables and chairs crowded together. They give a lot of meat with their soup, but if we want more, the extra portion is generous and very reasonably priced. The extra side meat photo I posted has more than normal b/c my wife put some of hers in there since she had too much in her regular portion bowl! I'm not complaining lol. We visit probably 2-3 times a month. Hits the spot every time! And you can walk next door for awesome bahn mi sandwiches for later! read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it's low-key famous. When you go and there are 95% Asian people in there you know it's good. We waited a little less than 10 minutes for a table for 2 on a holiday Monday. The line grew longer after we got in line. I was not expecting the quick turn around on the tables. This might be due to the facts they they basically only serve pho. (No appitizers such as spring or summer rolls, nothing else). There are a few dessert options. The Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk was delish! They bring it to you in a single brewer and you just pour it over a cup of ice. The pho broth was good, there really was no need to add anything. I normally ask for a chili oil but o don't even think they had it. The meats in the pho were actually good and not dry and did not seemed precooked with no flavor like most places. There was no real ambiance. Overall this was a good place to try. I would rather go somewhere less busy but just as good. Also, this was a 40 minute drive for me. I'm glad I tried and experienced it but I probably won't come specifically for it. read more

Smells terrible inside and the man who took our order hung up before I could give my name. Food was ok.

Five stars all day, every day. Nothing beats a great bowl of Pho on a day when you need a hug. Pho 75 has great Pho. The broth is fragrant and comforting, they have a huge selection of protein you can add and the accompanying plate of vegetables (bean sprouts, jalapeños and Thai basil) are fresh, never wilted, Pho 75 is always busy, weekends have lines out the door, everyone is welcome, there are always conversations in different languages, all cultures love great soup. Staff is efficient and professional, not the friendliest group but they manage to get everyone served. Pho 75 is cash only, leave the plastic in your wallet and pull out the green stuff. There is an ATM available, have no idea what the surcharge is. read more

This place is no frills, providing what people want at such a fast pace. I went here earlier and immediately we were seated. My parents like to get food to go here most of the time but we stopped by here because another pho place we were planning to go to was closed for the night. The waiter did not bring any menus out, and it's probably because they know my parents who have been going here for many years or he can tell we just know what we want. Anyways, we order food to our waiter and it was such at a fast pace I was impressed that it happened so quick. I mean, people come here for the food. They eat, they come, and then they go. There's not much decor to look at either. Don't expect instagramable or unique pieces on the wall. The pho comes out and you can tell that the soup is hearty. It's such a rich broth that I ended up drinking the whole bowl. My rule of thumb; finish the soup if it's good. I don't like to add Sriracha or Hoisin sauce to this because it's good as it is. The meats I got were brisket and meatballs. I absolutely think these are the best meats but you can't go wrong with any other meats either. If there's two things I'd like to say first: 1. This place takes cash only. I'd recommend bringing cash. There's an ATM as well if you need to withdraw too. 2. The service is minimal, don't expect stellar service. I understand that might be a red flag for others but personally you get your food out so fast, it kinda evens out. Flag them down if you need something. Pho 75 is also in other Northern VA locations but this restaurant hits home to me. Please give it a try! read more

Such good value for pho!!! Bring cash. The flavor is light for pho, if you like that, which I do. Pho is only 10.50. Extra $1 if you want a large, which is a good deal if you ask me. My friend got the chicken noodle #12 and didn't like it, but I thought all my meats in #1 were cooked so well and it was a good variety. There were mainly thin meats and this thicker white translucent meat? Not sure what it was but it was chewy and delicious. Highly recommend for pho!! Must come. Service is fast and pho comes quickly after ordering. They also play nice peaceful calming instrumental music in the background for ambience. read more

Been coming here for years. Always the same bowl, the same quality, and the same satisfaction. The meat is generous and made rare just like how they do it in Vietnam. The aroma of the broth is a dead giveaway that they know what they're doing. Noodles are your average pho noodles (I prefer them to be thicker and springier but that's my personal preference). My favorite Pho in the states still hails in California, but for my time here in the DMV, it's always Pho 75. You just can't beat the OGs! read more

Food: I ordered pho with everything (dac biet). It came out hot. Service: This can definitely improve. I would say that a happy attitude doesn't cost much. Ambiance: The ceiling is old and dark.

Would never eat here. I called today on a Friday around 11 am and wanted to ask some questions about gluten free options.

That kind of customer service is indicative of what I could expect if I ate there so will never even try them out. read more

Cash only. Known as possibly the best pho in all of Northern Virginia, Pho75 certainly delivers if not at least comes pretty close. The broth is flavorful, the veggies are fresh, and if you ask... you can get raw meat for eye round. The service here is pretty fast.

Found a caterpillar in my pho and the older, male waiter who seats people and takes orders tried to tell me it's part of the bean sprout. Those caterpillars are from fresh, leafy vegetables usually, not bean sprouts. I did put in the complimentary Vietnamese basil in my pho, which is where the bug came from. I brought this up to the waiter just so they know to maybe do an extra rinse of their vegetables. But trying to lie to me about what it was (he tried to pour the soup out of the spoon and just show me the bean sprout head, like I was mistaken), puts a bad taste in your mouth, no pun intended. Essentially, the waiter poured the soup out, hoping to hide the bug and gaslight me. Ambiance is a typical Vietnamese restaurant. My mom would have yelled and stood her ground, but I opted to just pay and leave since I was over it. Customer service here just reinforces negative stereotypes about Vietnamese restaurant customer service, which is a shame. read more

I don't know why my previous earlier experiences with Pho 75 happened, but that was the only reason why I was so resistant in ever returning. It may have been because I was a pho newbie, and I just didn't know then?! I'm so glad that I gave this place another shot - we've ordered: +the Pho Chin - with well-done brisket - definitely a better option than the fatty brisket, these are definitely well done +the Pho Gau - with fat brisket; this is way too fatty, and I don't like that the fatty part has a yellow tint to them; it may pass for KBBQ when you're grilling them up, but because they're being cooked in the broth, it's just fat fat fat They are super generous with the proteins and scallions, but could be more so with the noodles. Regardless, even ordering a regular-sized bowl (they have a large-sized bowl, too), it's more than enough and super filling! Don't forget to ask for a bowl of ngọc béo, which is the beef fat that has been skimmed off from the cooking process; this comes with sliced ends of scallions, and adding it to your broth makes it more flavorful - TRUST! No need for hoisin sauce, but I do enjoy adding sriracha to spice it up. Service is super fast, efficient, but also accurate and friendly. +pho with great broth! +request the ngọc béo +fast and efficient service! +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot read more
