Not sure why this place has such high ratings. It's good but I wouldn't go out of your way: although it doesn't quite live up to its name, it's a solid joint that will fulfill your pho cravings. ++ Great menu/UX!! Gives highlights and suggestions + Quick, clear, accurate service + Disinfectant and sanitizer at the table + Meats are solid and soup is well-portioned/balanced ~ Garnishes are a bit skimpy ~ Broth is good but could use a lil sumpin sumpin ~- Calamari tasted fine but was lazy -- large clumps of pieces smushed together by the batter - Noodles didn't have spring or chew and fell apart easily as if it had been sitting for a while - Bubble tea is powdered/overly sweet, worth going to a tea-only house read more

Food was okay, but server serving our table was very impolite. Will definitely not go back again.

Visited on a weeknight around 530pm for dinner. I think I got in before the dinner rush, as I was seated quickly and ordered the "Make Your Own" Pho with Tai, Chin, and Bo Vien meat. My server was very friendly and accommodating. There's only one size bowl you can order which helps simplify things a bit. The pho came out quickly, with equal amounts of broth, noodles, and meat. The broth was not as rich/dense as some may be used to but still had flavor. It should be noted that given the area expect to pay the cAshburn upcharge. All said and done my meal ended up costing around $20, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything under $15 in NoVA anyway. This wasn't a mind-blowing experience by any means but a hearty bowl of pho on a cooler Winter weeknight hit the spot when it needed to. Support small businesses! read more

Pho-nomenal - 15. Make Your Own Pho (S1. Tai, S2. Chin, S3. Bo Vien) - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

We went to Pho-nomenal before. It was good. Nothing unusual except we were there 2 weeks ago and the noodles and beef tasted very off. Noodles was very soggy and the beef tasted old with freezer burn. I only took a few bites and could not swallow it anymore. We mentioned to the waiter and he gave us a 10%off. Now I'm not sure if I want pho anytime soon after this experience. At least I'm definitely not returning to this pho place. read more

My recent visit to Pho-nomenal truly lived up to its name. The pleasant and friendly service, along with quick and accurate orders coming out, made the dining experience enjoyable. Great location being in One Loudoun. I got the shrimp pho, while my girlfriend ate the vegetarian pho. Our appetizers, spring rolls and summer rolls, were delicious as always. Pho-nomenal delivers a consistently delightful dining experience. read more

This place is a terrific spot to go to for lunch. There is plenty of parking (garage parking and outdoor). There are tons of other stores and restaurants around the shopping center but I had a fever for some Pho. The broth was so good. I am a sucker for great broth in Pho. Their recipe and process I spot on. The egg rolls could have been better but they were not bad. I always get sirloin, tripe, and add fish balls. It was the perfect meal before boarding my flight. If I am ever back in Virginia I will come here again. read more

Fast service but decent pho. Their prices are reasonable and location is great but I'm still on the hunt for great pho.

Quick sit down type of vibe. We were immediately sat at a table and given menus. The broth in the pho was so tasty and serving sizes were good but a little overpriced compared to other places I've been. We also ordered two Banh Mi sandwhiches, a pork and a "traditional". The traditional did not have pate on it even though it stated it would on the menu. Would return. read more

Pho-nomenal - Pho 9. Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

My wife and mother in law wanted Vietnamese food. We usually visit Saigon Outcast or Chopstix but wanted something new. Yelp folks gave this place high marks. Parking is a challenge especially for the handicap(my in law) so a drop off parking space would have been ideal. There is garage parking behind the restaurant. The menu is pretty large. They do a QR code menu but you can also ask for a hardcopy. The hardcopy menu has older pricing so keep that in mind. I started with an order of A.9 which is the grilled beef wrapped around grilled onions. This was excellent. I highly recommend it to the keto diner. I ordered the number 4- pho. The portion was gigantic and the flavor was very tasty. I was not a fan of the meatball but all the other meats in the pho were excellent. Service was very good. read more

Swung by for a pick up order of bun thit nuong with spring roll aka beef vermicelli noodles with spring roll. Nicely packaged, full of flavor from the beef, portion was good, satisfied my cravings. If you are carrying out, check your bag for utensils, they said it was in there but he did a check for me and it wasn't. I definitely come back next time to try other menu items. read more

I came here based on fellow Yelpers. This time it was a disappointment. I wish we could sort reviews by ethnicity when reading reviews. We ordered the following: Rice dishes - the rice special (com dac biet): comes with a fried egg on top of the rice, grilled beef, grilled pork, grilled chicken, and crispy bean curd, served with the nuoc nam (dipping sauce). The egg was cooked perfectly. That was the only thing positive about the taste of this dish. - Grilled pork chops with rice - Grilled chicken with rice Although the food was plated well and looked appealing, the grilled meats had a grilled flavor but no other taste. None of the meat tasted like they were pre-marinated at all. I was so disappointed. This was the worse Vietnamese grilled dish I have ever had. They charged for extra nuoc nam, which I have never been charged before. The amount they gave was less than half of the small bowl they served the sauce. All the rice dishes came with a bowl of soup, which tasted bland and blah. Pho: pho dac biet: Pho with all beef meat, including tripe, don't remember it having any tendons. The soup broth was substandard, which is what makes this soup. In fact, the aroma outside the restaurant had a better smell of the usual broth spices (i.e. star anise, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, and coriander seeds) than the actual aroma and taste of the broth I received. Another huge disappointment. FYI: There was a charge for the to-go container. The prices were a bit higher than most Vietnamese restaurants. Maybe it's the location. I don't mind higher prices, but not for underwhelming tasting food. Service was mediocre. read more

No wait for a party of four and the service was AMAZING! They gave us a 10% discount on our drinks just as a nice gesture. Strawberry matcha is amazing and the ambiance of the place was very cozy and nice! Totally recommend! read more

Hands down the best Pho in town. My go to place when I want really good pho. Their name holds true to what they serve. Not just pho though, as they have a good assortment of Vietnamese dishes on the menu. A wide variety of rolls, chicken wings, salads, and rice dishes to choose from. The quality of food is great and always consistent when I eat here or get take out. The portions are good for the price point. I will say they are a few dollars more than some other pho places in the area for similar named dishes. But if you compare what you are actually getting, you will easily see why. For example, just because two places serve a seafood pho, it doesn't mean you are getting the same amount of types of seafood in it. It's never been an issue to customize any dish with removing or adding ingredients. The staff have always been very friendly and attentive. Majority of the time I get food to go. It's easy to order online, food is prepared quickly and packaged well. Inside is very basic decor and seating. Nothing fancy, but I like to think of it as all their effort is going into the food, not making the place look fancier than it needs to be. Very casual and relaxed. read more

The food is really delicious, but this restaurant charges for every single condiment and sauce when you order takeout. They even charge extra for containers & bags. This behavior over shadows the food. read more

Pho-nomenal - They have Siracha!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Since I don't live around this area, but love so many of their food options up here I try to grab grub to take home when in the area. I was there during lunchtime, so I grabbed a couple chicken pho entrées to bring home for dinner. I live about an hour and a half from here, so after getting home I had to reheat the broth for dinner and it was beyond excellent! I also got an extra broth and we heated all of it up and poured it over the cold chicken/accoutrements and that hot broth heated up the dish perfectly! Their broth is some of the absolutely BEST we've ever had! No grease/bubbles in it, but packed with flavor. The smell was a perfect balance of star anise and other spices and the flavor was balanced and perfectly matched! We agreed that this is easily in the top 3 of Pho that we've ever had! I can see why this place has so many excellent reviews! BTW - Service from the staff during my quick in/out for carryout was very nice too. read more

I visited here with a friend for pho. This was her first time trying pho. It was ok but not my favorite pho in the area for the taste/price. I got the meatball pho. The broth is a little on the sweet side and had reasonable portion but not much Thai basil or sprouts to add. We also tried the spring rolls. The peanut sauce is delicious. This is the best peanut sauce I've ever had! So if you're coming here, definitely try that. read more

Food wasn't very good as it was bland. First time trying it and the last time. Very disappointing

Placed an order for pho to go- over the phone. It was a little frustrating to get across our very simple order but managed to finally. The restaurant is conveniently located in one Loudoun and was easy to find with plenty of parking around. The restaurant itself looked clean and organized. The confusion continued a fair bit when I was trying to pick up my order, but luckily resolved within minutes. The pho was still pipping hot after a 25 minute drive! Instead of yellow onion, there were red onions in the pho. I personally enjoyed it even though the broth was a little too clean than what I am used to. I've found my new pho spot when I'm in Loudoun county area! read more

Pho-nomenal is phenomenal indeed! I've been craving Pho and was so glad to see this restaurant offering take out during COVID-19. Placed an order online and it was ready in no time. The owner is so kind and welcoming. Everything we ordered was wrapped up neatly. Their Pho is delicious, the broth has great depth of flavor. They offer a variety of other dishes as well, which were flavorful. Portions are generous as well. We are fans! read more

My first Vietnamese restaurant after moving to the area! My boyfriend and I got the Shrimp Spring Rolls which weren't wrapped the best but still tasty, the Grilled Pork Banh Mi which my boyfriend enjoyed, and the Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Chicken and Egg Roll which was very refreshing and delicious especially for a hot summer day when you're not feeling soup. Service was pretty good and the restaurant was pretty clean. Would definitely come back since they have a pretty large menu with a mix of Vietnamese, Vegetarian, and Thai dishes. read more

Pretty mid pho to be honest. The seafood was barely there, and the broth was nearly flavorless.

Loved it. Casual and relaxed dining with amazing and yummy pho. Will def. go here again.

Pho-nomenal - Inside the restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Healthy, vegetarian, delicious! If you're thinking about covid-19, like we are, then eating healthy and safe guarding your exposure are probably at the top of your mind. Fresh ingredients and full flavor are what we've found working our way through their menu specifically for vegetarians. Really really delicious vegetarian pho, fried rice, pad Thai, and mixed vegetables. They are our go to place for Vietnamese food and Thai milk tea which is not overly sweet and a healthier alternative to sugary versions. Tonight we arrived and excitedly raced out of our car too eager to get to eating and forgetting to grab our masks. Upon entering the restaurant we were offered free masks. As the CDC recommends the use of face masks to minimize exposure we were impressed by the preparedness of this business to protect both us and their staff. Taking care of each other is the best outcome from this pandemic. We have seen how businesses and individuals have risen to that call. Taking care of businesses that take care of us is not new but Now is the time we all need to do our part. Eat local, eat delicious, and stay safe here. read more

I forgot to take pictures because the food looked so good! It was a rainy evening today, and my friends and I decided to go to Phonomenal. I got the pho special and eating it brought me back to eating authentic pho in Vietnam. Although the food was really good, Phonomenal should expand their smoothie variety. I love avocado smoothies and wish this place had it. The service was very attentive and was catered to my every need. I got to meet one of the workers here, Tom, who enhanced my experience here greatly. Out of all the pho places in the area I recommend Phonomenal as a top pick. I will definitely be coming back! read more

You're paying for the location in One Loudoun because the pho here is pretty expensive...moreover, one of the ways they try to make more money is only having one size for pho (rounded up, $13 for a bowl of pho dac biet). That's pretty steep since I can go to somewhere with just as good broth and get a regular size bowl of pho for $7-$9. Anyway, besides pricing, on to quality of food! I would say, despite the overcharge, AT LEAST they don't skimp on food - which is why I can rate this fairly. They definitely give you lots of noodles and lots of meats. The cuts and quality of meat was by far one of the best I've had. However, the broth was sort of bland and just alright to me. I had to douse it in sriracha and hoisin sauce to give it flavor...was also looking for the fish sauce to help the taste too, but there was none :/ Would I come here again? For sure if I'm craving pho and it's convenient, but probably won't be my go to spot for pho. My sister and I was also looking at other stuff on the menu and $5 for a side of spring rolls or summer rolls...big yikes. Which is why we only went with our bowls of pho. Luckily we did too because the bowl was so big we couldn't finish it (as mentioned earlier, we usually only get a regular size for pho. If you usually get a large, you might be fine). With that being said, I do want to support this restaurant and glad despite the price overcharges, the quality and amount of food is fair. read more

I sent an email to management directly about this, but didn't receive a response so I'm posting my review here. This was my first time coming to this restaurant, but I had seen great reviews and was in the mood for some pho after work. Everything was fine when I entered and gave my order. The wait staff seemed a little rushed, but I figured it was because they might be a short-staffed. The unfortuante experience occurred when my waiter started to pass around balloons to all the women in the restaurant and deliberately skipped me. At first, I thought he ran out, but he tied the rest of them to a flower pot right across from my table. I couldn't help but notice that I was the only Black person eating at the restaurant at the time and couldn't help but shake the feeling that this behavior was racial discrimination. It definitely made me feel like I wasn't welcomed at this restaurant. What escalated that feeing was when said waiter came and flippantly asked me was I ready for my bill. I complied in order to not cause a scene and even tipped 20%, but I will not patronize this restaurant again. My money is just as good as anyone else's and I will not pay to be made to feel unwelcome. read more

We've avoided coming here since they never had outdoor seating during this pandemic. Today we finally pickup up 2 dishes to try them out. The pork chops were plentiful and tender, and the grilled shrimp was cooked well and flavorful as well. The food got cooked in about 20 mins and I was able to pick it up near the front door itself. We are looking forward to trying some pho noodles here once we start going inside restaurants. read more

I used to like this place so much but today I ordered it to go. The guy who I believe that might be the owner, he was super polite and came by the table to check on us before. He stopped me from getting siracha in my soup. I'm sorry but I know what I eat and of course I'm not adding the whole container in my soup. "Everything is so expensive." How different from dine in people who add spices in there soup and didn't finish it? I don't feel good about this at all. I returned the small pack of sauces that they gave me. Save it , it's expensive! read more

Great experience; wonderful people; great food. My kind waitress suggested a new seasonal special: Beef and Noodles. Familiar/ favorite ingredients...So full of flavor...it tasted like a giant summer roll floated by and exploded into the bowl. What a treat. Normally I smother hoisin or peanut sauce on even the best of Vietnam's dishes...not needed this go around. Tom the owner is sincere and a hoot at the same time. He's earned my loyalty but wanted me to put down 6 stars... OK that works for me. Like an 11 on the volume dial. 6 stars! read more
