The food was decent. I got the beef dish, the sauce was good but the beef had a lil gamey taste to it. When I mixed the rice with the sauce that tasted good. We shared fried chicken. That also had good sauce and it was crispy. Overall it had decent food. The staff were friendly but took a while to take our orders. That could be cuz they were busy and not enough staff. Also we did order in 3 different phases so I could understand if it was confusing. But they were nice. read more

I love this place. The service, the food, the BROTH, the summer rolls (no pork), the ribeye rolls, the banh mi...everything. I've lost count of how many delivery orders of pho were ordered. When I was sick, in the mood for soup, wanted one of their shrimp banh mi's. The bread, the mayo, the pickled daikon/carrots, the shrimp, the jalapeños...time and time again they've managed to put a smile on my face. One time I even hosted a little dinner party and made soup. Used their broth and doctored it with tomato sauce, meatballs, veggies, and some homemade pasta. It was delicious, friends were raving about it, I said "Omgosh thank you I've been working on this all day". Hid the containers and everything. Everyone was so happy. I don't feel guilty because they're huge fans of Vietnamese food, and eventually I directed them to you. Said you were amazing. They never figured it out and to this day order on a monthly basis. They also never use Yelp and will never see this confession. Everyone is happy :D So yeah...y'all should come here and eat something. It'll put a smile on your face for sure :) read more

The pho is okay, nothing special. The service was not good--an older man was rude and did not speak politely to me as a customer. They charged extra for a bag and to-go box without informing me beforehand. Also, the prices charged were different from what was listed on the menu. Overall, not a great experience. read more

I was craving pho one evening and came across this place in Silver Spring. Let me start by saying I got the small portion and it was more than enough to satisfy a craving. The flavor was great, service was quick and they answered any questions that I had. The inside of the establishment looked clean and there was a variety of people dining in. I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to enjoy pho. The prices are reasonable as well. Will be back! read more

If your looking for an amazing vietnamese soup place, this is the best option. When entering, the interior looks amazing, neat, clean, and fancy-like giving a welcoming expeience! The service of the restaurant were really nice! Me and my family went here and the staff there were nice and welcoming! Finally, the food. The soup were at the right temperature, the right hot your looking for. There are many options there, definitely give it a try! read more

The bad reviews really seem like fluke experiences people had. we've had 0 major issues. Just remember to wait to be seated. My small nitpicks are at the end. Solid 3.75 stars. Don't let the negative comments fool you, this place is nice. It's a good simple place for dinner. Service is prompt and attentive and the Pho an Bahn Mi are tasty as are the starters. We recommend the pork and Beef bahn mi and the Fish cake (which is kind of like a patty of sorts. It's hard to describe but tasty) and any seasonal roll. The meat on our bahn Mis on Friday was perfect, and I loved the slightly smoky flavor. The Winter Roll appetizer needed a little punch of something inside, but the sauces all helped (you get sriracha, a "seasoning sauce" that's basically soy sauce, and another at the table). It was still really nice. When we came a few months ago, we loved the Pho as well. My little nitpick across the two visits is that sometimes the service dips a smidge in promptness. It's still very attentive and kind, but keep that in mind. You'll still get whatever you need in sufficient time. It's just not the kind of bustling place where servers are constantly milling about. read more

Should've followed my own instincts when I saw the bad reviews to this place but I was in the area. The food was gross. The Pho broth was oily, the meat taste off, the bean sprouts looked reused, and the summer rolls. had an offputting taste. I do not recommend this place stay away, This restaurant is definitely cutting corners. read more

After arriving in Silver Spring from DC, I dropped my suitcases off at the hotel just down the street and stopped here for a bite to eat. At the time I arrived, I was the only one in the dining room. By the time I got my food, three more tables had been filled with diners. Quite a few people picked orders as well. The shrimp soup was very good and flavorful. I do wish they had cleaned the shrimp a little better. But the broth was flavorful and delightful. Those summer rolls were bomb! Bursting with veggies and flavor. Not pictured, I did have a strawberry smoothie. The menu offered boba, but unfortunately they were out that day. Overall a chill atmosphere. There was a tv in the corner playing a Spanish-speaking comedy; I found it pretty funny. The service was quick and friendly. They do have a full bar, which appears to be open all day. read more

Used to come here in high school as it is in walking distance from the Metro and what used to be City Place mall. I ordered the chicken pho and the crispy spring rolls. The broth was amazing for the flavor and I added Sriracha and Hoisin sauce to perfect it. I usually get to go boxes but nope I finished it all. It's really still as good as it was in high school. The staff was nice and attentive. It was quiet when we went on an early Tuesday evening. read more

I called in a vegetarian PHO without Tofu at 6:25 pm. When I arrived 10 minutes later it wasn't ready. I walked to my car that was parked illegally only to realize my broth wasn't hot. I went back and requested someone in leadership. A lady came from the back and said we were busy, we are sorry, etc. I also asked why the broth wasn't hot and she said the lid expands. We'll get different lids or wrap it in plastic wrap! I was charged a bag fee and a container fee. Great customer service would have been a discount or a refund. Additionally, the menu prices need to be updated. All the photos are attached to reflect my review and experience. I am a Chef with a degree in culinary arts. The customer is "ALWAYS" right. Excuses only satisfy those who make them. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN IN LIFE. read more

This place is hands down the best Pho and my go to place in Silver Spring area. I always get the Pho Ga (chicken). The broth is very light and tasty but what makes it the best is that the chicken is tender. It cooked well enough not to get that strong chicken smell but overcooked to make it rubbery. Also recommend their summer rolls(A fresh garden roll with shrimp, basil leaves, rice vermicelli noodles wrapped in rice paper). It is served with their special peanut dipping which is really amazing. The place is pleasant (noise level is low). Service is fast. Pho comes within a 5 minutes if not crowded. They dont offer physical menus any more. There is a QR code you can scan to see the menu but you a waiter comes to take your order. One thing lacking though is a great cocktail menu. They have Vietnamese iced coffee. It is sweeter than your regular Thai ice coffee. They use sweetened condensed milk. Just something to note. read more

This is a good Vietnamese place. I have been here twice and last came with my wife in December. My wife and I had a large Pho Tai, Nam, Gan, Sach, Ribeye Rolls, and a Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling. We had leftovers and they charge for take home containers. The service was good but the only reason to dock a star is the Ribeye Rolls listed "grilled" but forgot to say peanuts and I'm allergic to peanuts so they made us another one and charged us for both. Also, we happen to like Lotus Cafe down Georgia a bit better. read more

I can't get enough of the Pho Nam (slow cooked brisket pho with thinly sliced brisket, noodles, bean sprouts and jalapeños) at this restaurant. I also love the Ga Nuong (grilled chicken) with rice. This dish features strips of grilled chicken with white rice, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and sweet-and-sour sauce. Pluses: -The brisket pho and grilled chicken entree are delicious. -The restaurant is within walking distance of stores and parking. -The interior is cute and service is friendly and efficient. Minuses: -I was given the wrong order during my last visit (chicken pho instead of brisket) and I did not enjoy the chicken pho! Word of advice: Be sure to check your takeout order before you leave the restaurant! -I tried the meatball pho once and wasn't a fan of the tough meatballs. Social distancing / Covid precautions: -The mask mandate is posted on the door and you can scan a barcode at the register to see the menu. -Indoor dining is available; however, most customers are now placing carryout or pickup orders. -During my most recent visit, the person who took my order kept adjusting his mask. I got a glimpse of the kitchen when he walked to the back to place my order and I noticed that one person in the kitchen was not wearing a mask. I saw this after placing my order, otherwise I would have thought twice about ordering takeout on that day. 3.5 read more

I've tried this pho around 3 times now and it's always been very decent. Personally, I feel like it doesn't take similar to any other authentic pho place I've been to and it doesn't make me wanna continue eating here. It's not the worst pho ever but I personally think there's a lot better around. read more

Good local spot in silver spring when you got a pho craving. Ordered take out here but the inside looks nice and spacious with plenty of seating. Can't speak to the wait staff but when I called in my order it was super easy. Save money!: I prefer to call and order directly to support small businesses instead of all those apps which charge more with fees. Food was ready within 20 mins as they said. Parking was easy in front to hop in and out with my food. Ordered spring rolls, pho, and a banh mi sandwich. Spring rolls were decent size and crispy. Pho was ok. Meat tender and the noodles and sides as expected, the soup is decent. The banh mi was a good size as well as the baguette was crispy and chewy. Overall thought this place was a solid average option for pho. read more

Ordered the veggie pho. Broth had no spice flavor and the fried tofu was rather hard. They only had one person servicing all the tables. Also, $8.50 for veg summer rollers was rather steep compared with most places. On the plus side, the decor was bright and modern. read more

Great place with easy pickup (orders are ready fast) and the pho is good. Easy delivery as well.

Pretty good pho if you want to don't want to drive to Wheaton or DC. Like any other pho - you should eat it all in one sitting. We got the veggie and chicken pho. I wish my veggie pho had more tofu, but overall it was good and comforting on a cold day. The noodles were a bit salty for me, or maybe my taste buds were a bit off this time. The hot sauce added the extra kick I was looking for. I was happy with the way they packed it since my walk back was about 15 minutes. I thought the broth would spill out, but only a little bit did. Thanks for doing such a thorough job with packing! The spring rolls were very good and I'd get them again. Next time, I'll try the Banh Mi! read more

I came for a mommy daughter date Friday 3/1 and was EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. 1.I stood at the front for 6 minutes before anyone said one words to me 2.I specifically asked to be seated at a booth (which they were cleaning at the time ) and the hostess then says follow me AND PROCEEDS TO WALK TO THE KITCHEN without even showing us to our table 3.we sat for another few minutes no one said a single word or bought water for the table 4. Once I saw that the booth was available we got up (from the table we just assumed we were supposed to sit )and this is the first time any staff ever addressed us to tell us we could not sit there after a party of 2 came in and sat at the other available booth. I was flabbergasted and felt like they genuinely did not want me to dine at their establishment so we left to take our business elsewhere 10/10 would not recommend read more

Happy to have found a solid pho place in downtown silver spring! My husband is a pho lover and he approves. He got the P10. Pho Tai, Nam, Gan, Sach. He said the broth was very good. I got the R5. Bun Cha Ha Noi (grilled pork marinated with fish sauce + vermicelli noodles). It was interesting because they don't serve it all in a bowl like I'm used to. You get a plate with the noodles and veggies, and the pork comes on the side. I poured the fish sauce from the pork onto the noodles and mixed in the veggies. Not sure if that's how you're supposed to eat it, but it was good! The grilled pork was very tasty. We also shared the shrimp summer rolls, which were good with the peanut sauce. Service was quick. The place was busy during dinner time on Sunday evening. I heard the table next to us ordering wine, which I've never heard of at a pho restaurant, so I guess it's classy too?! But the vibe is still very casual. Overall we're happy to have found a good pho restaurant near us! read more

Disappointing!! I ordered the PhoTai Nam med rare eye round with slow cooked brisket small size. They are not kidding when they give you a small. It's the portion for a kid. The broth was boring. Meat was tough or mealy. Didn't even put chopsticks in my to go bag?! Paid too much for a tasteless meal. The Pho at Beltsville, MD is 100x better and less expensive. Do not waste your effort (in a very difficult area) or hard earned money because you get ripped off! read more

Overall, 3.5/5 but will round it up to a 4/5 because the pricing is decent and that initial spoonful of noodles and hot broth really hit the spot. This is a convenient location for dinner if you're about to go to an event at the Fillmore. Fortunately, it wasn't too packed when my friend and I arrived for dinner today around 5:15 PM. It seemed like pho was the most popular entree, so we knew we had to try it here! One thing we noticed when the plate of beansprouts (+ other garnishes) came out was that they give you lemons instead of limes, hm. PHO TAI, NAM, GAN, SAC (LG.) - 12.95 If you're hungry, definitely get the large size. I felt like it's worth the $1 upgrade for a bit more noodles/soup. The pho came out piping hot which was perfect. The broth was steamy which cooked the medium rare eye round beef cut. After dumping a bunch of beansprouts in my bowl, I was ready to feast. The first sip of broth along with some noodles was amazing. It really hit the spot since the temperature was right and the broth was flavorful. The cut of meats were a bit thick, but whatever - the quality was good. However, as I continued to eat, I could feel my mouth drying up (which is how I measure the amount of MSG or salt in my food). The broth does have good beef flavor, but I also think there's more MSG than I'd prefer. The noodles were perfect in terms of texture. It's not soggy or overly starchy, a bit al dente with a slight chew, which is my preference. I also think there wasn't a lot of meat - maybe 4-5 pieces total of eye round and brisket, 1 piece of tripe, and 2-3 small chunks of tendon. Most of my bites were just noodles and broth since I had to portion out the meat for every fourth or fifth bite or something. Since I live pretty far from Silver Spring and don't see myself coming back very often, I'd probably try other restaurants in the area next time. If I did live close by, I could see myself coming back here and there for a nice hot bowl of pho (it really, really hit the spot in the beginning) and try their summer rolls (Goi Cuon) which seem to be really popular here! read more

Ok, so it's kind of between a 3.5-4 star for me Flavor was decent, but the veggie freshness just wasn't there. I was expecting nice crisp lettuce and an abundance of crunchy pickled vegetables. In this case, the lettuce was very limp, and the veggies we just bland and kind of soft. Bun Ga Nuong is one of my all time favorite dishes and I was spoiled to have an AWESOME go-to spot in my previous city, so I own the fact that my standards may be higher than some. Although I wasn't overly impressed, I'd probably give this place another shot in case it was a fluke. read more

Pho Tan Vinh - Grilled Beef Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Pros: Broth is good Cons: Many I ordered Pho Ga today for delivery and was unpleasantly surprised to find that there was no sriracha, utensils, an *appropriate* straw for my Thai iced tea and I was given a bag of something I specifically asked to exclude. I was able to find a fork at work so I could pierce the plastic on my tea (as the regular straw provided would not work) and eat my soup. I had to pick out quite a few wilted leaves which I could deal with, but what was actually the dealbreaker was the chicken. It was rubbery and not at all edible. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it was disgusting and what I didn't spit out after attempting to chew, went into the garbage. This was my first time ordering from here and will definitely be my last. If I can offer any constructive criticism, I'd say they really need to focus on serving edible chicken, providing necessary implements to consume the food (at the very least a boba straw as you cannot access the drinks with a standard straw), fresh ingredients and standard condiments. Out of decency, I am not including pictures of the chewed up chicken. read more

I have passed by this location so many times and finally stopped by recently with some friends. We ordered some summer rolls, vegetarian, Pho Tai, Pho Tan Vinh and the vegetarian one as well. The beef broths were so rich. Very small amount of msg. You don't feel dehydrated after the Pho. The meats were prepared fresh and thinly sliced. The vegetarian pho is is a fully vegetarian broth. Confirmed after asking a couple servers. The location is great as theres street parking all around the main street and also a couple of garages as well. Perfect place to take your family as they have large tables as well. The rice platters were definitely popular as I saw some other diners order them as well. I'll definitely be back to try their other dinner entrees and boba as well read more

Walked in on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. Great pho. Good soup flavor and meat is tender. A large bowl runs you about $11.95/ small at $10.50. Adding beef meatballs cost $6 though, so that was confusing (are they adding a whole pack?; why is it so expensive?) read more

Great service first off. Loved the garden rolls with peanut sauce. Thank you for giving me a generous ramekin of that peanut sauce which I love to bathe my garden rolls in. My pho arrived nice & hot and the broath was tasty which means that they take the time to prepare and brew their broath (boil the bones, veg etc.) which makes it have a good flavor. This is definitely a relaxing place to come and enjoy a nice hot bowl of pho, especially on a cool day. Thank you! read more

I have visited many times for to go and on site. Love their Phos and attentive service.

The flavors of this Viet restaurant are phenomenal and you won't regret checking it out! The menu has lots of pictures of the food, catering to the non-Vietnamese folks--I love it! I went with the Tan Vinh Special #1 Banh Mi which was pretty much a deconstructed sandwich if you're interpreting a Banh Mi as a sandwich. Banh Mi actually just means bread. This special banh mi had a sunny side up egg, steak & pate served on a hot plate with bread on the side. I really enjoyed it, but I think I prefer a traditional Vietnamese sandwich. The other food I tried was also good and I am looking forward to trying more. I am knocking off one star because I came at 11:00AM when they were supposed to be open. I stood around for a few minutes and one of the employees said they're not open yet. I guess it was a lazy Sunday for them! read more
