Pho & Grill Hoa Binh 11782 Parklawn Dr Rockville, MD 20852 #vietnamesefood I recently tried the Grilled Pork & Spring roll with vermicelli, and it was a satisfying, flavorful meal. The vermicelli noodles were fresh and light, while the spring rolls were crispy on the outside with a well-seasoned filling. The fresh lettuce, herbs, and pickled vegetables added a nice crunch and balance to the dish. The fish sauce dressing tied everything together with a savory, sweet, and tangy flavor that complemented the ingredients without overpowering them. The portion size was generous, making it a filling meal at a reasonable price. Overall, Grilled Pork Spring roll with vermicelli is a great choice if you're looking for a fresh, delicious Vietnamese dish. I would happily order it again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic flavors. read more

Overall, I had a decent experience Pho Hiep Hoa. During my visit, there was a minor technological issue in that the the restaurant could not accept credit/debit cards, and the only options for payment were either cash or Venmo. The waiter explained the situation to customers before seating so at least we had a heads up. I went with an order of a big bowl of pho and fried wontons, and both dishes were delicious. I have to admit that the broth was not as flavorful as other places that I have visited, but it was adequate. I thought the menu prices (about $15 for a large bowl of pho) were pretty in line with other similar restaurants in the area. The ambiance is pretty much what one would expect - little to no frills, which is fine for me. Parking was decent, but I can imagine that it can get packed since the restaurant shares parking lot with other restaurants. While this not the fault of the restaurant, it can be a bit of a pain getting in (if you are turning left into the parking lot) and out of the parking lot from the main street. read more

How did I not come to this neighborhood gem?!!! The pho was yummy! I had beef and she had chicken...very hearty and super flavorful! The service was great - only one guy at a table and one guy in the back cooking. When we walked in no one was here...10 minutes later the seats were taken! The music is soft piano music likely from an elevator near you! Great place and what a great value! GO!!! read more

Great foods, services is amazing and friendly. You can ask love their pho and summer rolls.

This was the worst Vietnamese I've ever had. I ordered takeout and got the lemongrass tofu with steamed rice. The tofu was so hard, it was unchewable. The rest of the dish had no flavor at all. I tossed it after a few bites. While I appreciate the vegetarian option, this was awful. read more

We came here after our favorite pho shop closed up as we walked in, so we found this spot. I ordered the veggie pho and the unfried veggie rolls for an appetizer. The tofu in the rolls were too hard and the peanut sauce was a little off. The pho was also just alright. The broth had a hint of a different flavor yet the aftertaste as my boyfriend put it, was of "water." Flavorless. I be liked that the veggies were cooked just right. Overall. I'd give the place a 3.5 to 3.6 out of five stars for the food. read more

Nice staff and food was good. There is a small area for sit down and not busy for a Saturday night. They seem to get more take out orders. Parking is right outside and easy. read more

It's tough to give Pho Hoa Binh 2 stars but the food was not good. The lemongrass tofu had no flavor. The tofu was tough to chew through and I wouldn't recommend it. The summer rolls were good and a better value imo. more tragic than the food is the parking situation out front. No parking, tight turns and combined with the mid food, I won't be stopping into this shopping center again. Parking is catastrophic and not worth fighting for with the food. read more

Good service and fresh and hot food. Chicken leg and rice is very crispy and juicy. Feels like a chill and home like place inside.

We dropped kids off at a birthday party nearby and wanted a quiet adult only dinner that was quick. Pho was hot, authentic and delicious. read more

Still our favorite pho restaurant but had a bad experience Thursday evening. We got there about 7:30 and had our normal meals. Very good. We finished about 8:45 and wanted dessert. The waiter was mopping the floor and taking our plates away as soon as we finished. We wanted a couple of smoothies, mine with Bobo. He indicated it would take about 15 minutes. Okay, that will put him right up to closing time but we could take them with us. However, he came back and asked if I could have mine without the Bobo. He gave us our check and pushed us to pay up. It was obvious he wanted us out of there so he could go home. We try to get out before a restaurant closes, and we should have had plenty of time. But service was slow, so it took longer. and then the waiter pushed us to get out. Not sure that we're going to go back. We've never been treated this poorly in any other restaurant. The only reason I gave them 3 stars is the food was good. read more

This place has been solid for over ten years. I returned for the first time since 2011. Still a great shop for a bowl. Parking is slim and on uneven terrain, so be careful! read more

Loved this place for delicious pho on a winter night with friends! I had P12, the Tai Chin Pho (with steak & brisket), and it was delicious. The large size is a massive serving at an excellent price and I brought home enough leftovers for at least one more meal (probably 2!) I also loved the Thai tea. We also had two appetizers of the fried spring rolls. Service was also fast and friendly. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Was waiting for friends that were going to an event we were going to nearby, and I didn't end up eating here. So, I'm going to give 2-stars just based on the experience; it wouldn't be fair to give them 1-star because I didn't have the food. My friends wanted to go to this Pho restaurant on that humid 97 F day since it was next door to an event we were going to. I was early waiting for them there. The A/C isn't even on. I complained to my friends when they walked in. Also, I didn't want Pho in the 97 F without the AC on in the restaurant. I was willing to eat one of their non-Pho items, but guess what? They didn't have it! I told my friends & the server, this is ridiculous; I'm walking to Wendy's! Wendy's was the closest restaurant, and I didn't want to drive since I would lose the great parking spot I had (Parking is pretty awful in that shopping center). I asked if either would join me, and they decided to stay, which was fine. To be fair, the server said he could have the A/C turned on, but I was already ready to go at that point. But seriously, how can a restaurant not have like half their menu items?!?! Fun fact I learned earlier today: The combination of the question mark & exclamation at the end of the sentence is called an interrobang! I got to actually incorporate what I learned in a sentence although I've used interrobangs before; I just didn't know what they were called. read more

Pho Hoa Binh - Appertizers...Really? Does no one proofread the menus?! - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Although pho relatively tastes the same at most places, I like to think that every pho place has their own "secret ingredient" to make it their own. For some reason, the pho here tastes like the most generic pho I have ever had. It's not bad but it's not special or exceptionally good. It just takes like how you would expect pho to taste like and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just something to hold you over if you're craving pho and want something that's nearby. Honestly, if I didn't live 5 minutes away from here, don't think I would visit as frequently as I do now but glad there's an option when I need something warm and soupy. I always opt to get the pho (small) with brisket and flank in it. Nothing special. It always hits spot but sometimes I'm left feeling a little hungry afterwards which is rare for me because I don't have an overly large appetite these days. As for appetizers, I've tried a few like the papaya salad and the beef wraps and both was crazy salty. Maybe it's supposed to be like that, but not my cup of tea and will strictly be sticking to pho. The Thai iced tea was also sickeningly sweet, basically orange syrup with a hint of tea and not worth it. Service is as expected at any pho place. You won't get royal treatment here. You get water, your pho, you pay and you leave. Battabingbattaboom. Overall, prices are fair, pho itself is decent. Give it a try if your passing by but can't make any promises that it's gonna be life changingly good. read more

This restaurant gets packed around lunch time. I recommend you carpool with your coworkers or go during off-peak hours because parking is rough. Hoa Binh is one of the most consistent pho places in Rockville. The broth tastes pretty authentic. Some days the spices are stronger than others and some days the broth taste more meaty than others but it is always consistent. Their fried spring rolls are extremely crispy and have a good filling to shell ratio. My coworkers and I probably come here about once a week when it gets colder out. read more

I cannot begin to say enough nice things about this place. Another unassuming drive-to Vietnamese pho restaurant with a stellar product. For years now, anytime I'm in this part of MoCo and want pho I come here. Per this February 2022 #covid19 review, indoor dining was fully on (not to a packed restaurant tho), but there's a 1 gallon of hand sanitizer and lettering asking for its use greeting you at the entrance. The best part of any soup? The broth. Such good (beef) broth it's that right balanced between being slightly umami and maintaining that warm and comforting feeling. Noodles are stacked up well, and they're vegetarian pho is by far and away the best sincere attempt at catering to vegetarians I've seen. I also distinctly remember liking their cuts of meat in the soup too - the eye-round and brisket being my personal favorites. Their spring rolls hold up well too, but tonight's review was based on the vegetarian pho w/ beef broth. They've updated the interior, clean and warm in that sanitized easy-to-wipe-down sorta way. There's a TV (of course this is America), but it isn't intrusive. Good for kids and groups! And also their takeout game fire! Ready in 10 (and they mean it), beautifully prepared for the journey home - and the staff know you're coming make it a treat to pop in and out. So when you're feeling sick, or just downright comfy, you can get koala-tea pho for under $30 between you and a partner/friend. read more

Was recommended this place from a Vietnamese coworker. We went on a Sunday afternoon. The owner served us and was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere feels authentic Vietnamese. I got the bún bò huê noddle soup. It had thicker noodles than a usual pho I usually get. The broth was super tasty and there was a good noodle to meat ratio. They also bring cabbage as a soup topping in addition to the bean sprouts, limes and basil. My husband loved his pho as well. This will be our go-to pho spot in Rockville! read more

I don't really have anything to complain about. You can get a good, hearty bowl of pho for a reasonable price and that's all I really expect. Service is quick and polite. Parking is a little tight but we were able to get a spot right in front. The interior is unassuming and there is one table outside. My boyfriend got a chicken pho (which I personally don't think is TECHNICALLY pho) but he said it was good. I ordered a more traditional beef pho with meatballs and tripe. The broth was hot, flavorful, and the meats were good. The garnish was also very fresh. We ordered egg rolls to share and although they were a little oily, they were still tasty. If you're craving pho, this place would definitely hit the spot! read more

Pho Hoa Binh - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

3/30/19 I was introduced to this place by my wife and her sister. This place is located at: 11782 Parklawn Dr, Rockville, MD 20852 This place is pretty spacious from what I saw. We were greeted and seated promptly. The smoothie I ordered was peach flavored without milk in it. I prefer yogurt in my smoothies instead of milk. I can't remember the name of what I got..okay it was the Bun Cha Gio Spring Rolls with Vermicelli. Oh, I added a side of sliced beef to the order. I should added grill onions too, but I didn't think of it. The food was delicious and so was the smoothie. My wife and sister in law had their smoothies after their meal, but I wanted mine with my meal. I like washing my hands before I eat, so this have me the opportunity to check out the men's bathroom. I saw that the bathrooms are divided by sex. The men's bath room has two sections. The first is the sink, mirror and urinal. The second is the royal throne which is more spacious. Overall, I hope to return here soon and try the pancake crepe. read more

Haven't been to this Pho location in a while. It seems like maybe they have new management because the interior was renovated and the employees were really nice. I ordered a small #1 and my boyfriend ordered the vegetarian pho. The small size was a perfect size. It wasn't busy in this pho location as other places would be, but I think the location of the restaurant is the concern. read more

Amazing pho. One of my favorites in the area! I got the tai, nam which was well cooked and absolutely delicious! The spring rolls were also fantastic. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant for many years and, in my humble opinion, it serves the.best pho anywhere. I've always gotten #11 or #12 - not very adventurous with the protein in my pho - and I always request extra basil leaves. The broth they make is so rich, almost velvety, very aromatic and filling. I always leave full, satisfied and sad that I didn't order a 2nd bowl. The one big area that's lacking is cleanliness and tidiness. Sticky tables, sticky floors with debris in the corners, leftover food on the chairs, supplies and boxes piled up around the cashier station and don't even get me going about the bathroom. Suffice it to say that you should go to the bathroom before visiting this place. Even washing my hands is an unpleasant experience. To overcome this level of dirtiness, you know the food has to be great - and it is! read more

Ive driven through this area so many times and this is the first restaurant Ive tried. After reading through the reviews, I had to try this out. SEAFOOD PHO: Yay they peeled the shrimp shell for you (Im lazy and hate peeling the shell), the fish balls were an odd consistency? A lot mushier than the usual fishball. There was also a good amount of veggies too. Though, the best part of pho is the soup right?? Idk what happened to my soup, but it had no flavor. This was really dissapointing and I guess people that love this place have never had good pho before. My friend also said her pho lacked flavor too and we both have had lots of pho before. THAI TEA: UH...sugar water with orange dye? They put too much sugar/syrup and not enough tea. It was not pleasant to drink. SERVICE: Their service sort of made up for the lack of flavor in the pho. I asked the waitress if I could get hot water and she asked me how hot? I then told her to do half cold and hot to make it warm. She did it with a smile and didnt look annoyed at my absurd request. Overall, probably wont come here again. Theres better pho places in the area. read more

Pho Hoa Binh - Seafood Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I don't think I'll be coming back. They included a 15% tip and expected me to give another 15-20% on top of what was already added. COVID has affected us all and I think this is a pretty dishonest way of doing business. I wish they did let their customers know what will go on the bill. Lack of care for small details and they need to clean off their tables better. The broth was more bland than usual and the coffee was really bitter considering that it was supposed to include condensed milk. We don't work here so please don't expect us what P11 order is or P20. Just let me know what the dish is and you won't have to be so frustrated. read more

Eh. Pho Hoa Binh just wasn't for me. Small sized pho came with plenty of noodles and a generous portion of meat. The meat had little to no fat, which I like. I wasn't a fan of the broth though. It was definitely sweeter than I'm used to. I tried to mask the sweetness with some heat from the Sriracha, but still no luck. The sprouts to put in your pho could have been fresher too. The imperial rolls (aka summer rolls) weren't bad. Nothing spectacular, though. The peanut sauce tasted a bit off, so I just dipped my roll in the hot sauce...not the same as eating your roll with peanut sauce, but it worked. Service was eh. There was minimal communication with the waiter. After he took our order, he never checked back on us. Had to flag him down for more water. The restaurant wasn't crowded either. Just a couple other tables eating dinner. Parking is plentiful. It's kind of hard to see this restaurant from Parklawn. It's located just Mega Supermarket. If you pass Carpet King, you've gone too far. Maybe that's a good thing though because you should probably look for another pho place to satisfy your craving. read more

If you like prompt service during the lunch hour rush, fresh bean sprouts, jalapenos and lime with broth which tastes like it has been cooking for over 8 hours, all in a heart portion at a fair price, this is the place. I had #12, rib eye and brisket, delicious thinly sliced meat, tons of noodles and served within 5 minutes of being seated. Not fancy, but delicious Pho! read more

I have been addicted to Vietnamese Food ever since first trying it when I lived in NOVA and went to the no longer extant Pho Ha in Eden Shopping Center. I had not been here for awhile and forgot who good this place is. The Vietnamese Coffee is pre mixed which is actually nice... I don't have to wait my whole meal for it to drip. The Cho Gia crrspy roll appetizer was crisp and delicious. The Pho (beef) was also delicious with a generous portion. I am very happy this restaurant survived the pandemic. Please support them! read more

One of my favorite places to eat dinner with my family. Not luxuary place, but local asian diner. People usually eat Phos. Several kinds of Pho here. You can choose small and regular size. For me, small is enough. We also love to eat Vietnamese style BBQ pork or chicken. Nice taste, good portion, and reasonable price. For kids, there is also kids BBQ menu. Good deal. Fried spring rolls and raw spring rolls are also delicious. We always order these as appetizers. Vietnam style pudding and desert sticky rice with coconut sauce are also delicious!! Restaurant itself clean and calm. Serving is really quick. No alcohol. Good place to have a lunch or dinner with your family or friend, and talk in eating. read more

I just discovered this place, it's actually across from my work. I called and placed my order To Go. They quoted me five minutes, once I arrived there was ample parking. This was around lunch time on a Tuesday. There were a handful of diners. The restaurant was a little dark, not much lighting but my food was ready. I asked what drinks they had and they mentioned they had smoothies with Bobba. Excited to hear this I ordered a Taro Bobba smoothie. The pho I ordered was pretty delicious. I enjoyed that they had a bowl container and then a separate container for the broth. I just poured my broth right into the soup bowl container let it sit for a second then added my toppings. Pho was very filling- I even ordered the small. The Bobba tea was almost perfect. The bubbles were a bit tough (to chew). When I got closer to finishing it.. it definitely tasted a bit sweeter- like a sugar rush. Overall pretty impressed. read more

Food: AMAZING Spicy beef noodle soup. medium spicy so not crazy spicy but that Lemmongrass beef broth is amazing. You can get it with the pho noodle. It usually comes with thicker noodles.

It actually pains me to write this review because it was once my favorite pho restaurant in the entire DC area. Note that this review is for food only, as the workers here are very nice. A good pho broth should have depth of flavor and be aromatic enough that you can smell the star anise. The last few times that I've been here, the broth has been very bland and not aromatic at all. We were here couple of weeks ago. It was a Friday at around noon and we were the only ones there. This place used to be packed at this time of day. I'm hoping that this honest review will wake up the owners and that they'll from time to time taste their product before serving it to customers. You cannot serve this type of food to people and expect to be successful in the long run. I would love to come back and revisit this place, but only if the food quality is fixed. read more

Been coming here nearly once a month for 3 years. It's my wife and myselfs neighborhood pho spot. Always a "homey" feel to it, small, cozy soft music, and great soup (whether pho or bun bo hue).
