    Pho tai chin
    Soojin J.

    I LOVE pho and am happy to have finally found my fave in DC! I came here after church and we passed a few other pho places along the way, but my friend insisted this is a local fave and would be worth the trek--and it was! It's a tucked-in restaurant that feels a bit tight but also cozy. We quickly got a table for a group of six, but larger groups would likely need to split up and sit at different tables. I got my usual Pho Tai Chin and it came out slightly pink but cooked quickly in the bowl. I was on the verge of hangry and it was exactly what I needed for instant glee. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back and try their spicy pho!

    No meat! Broth tasted like a chicken bouillon cube was dropped in a microwave safe container with some water. Noodles were hard. They gave me the leftover scraps. I asked for them to explain this to me and the lady said that's your meal. Don't go here. I had to go to McDonald's to get more protein. This is supposed to be my after drinking meal.

    Lemongrass beef pho

    Unfortunately visited this spot twice so far and just could not get with it. Service is poor and embarrassing if you are bringing someone to explore with you. Food is very okay, there are much better Pho options in the area. Came out way too fast and was not fresh at all. I tried the Spicy lemongrass Pho that seems to be all the craze here, but simply was not worth it to me. Seems to ride off the spice overpowering the broth but not much going on otherwise. I will say the ambiance is nice, it is a cozy location and the space is utilized well.

    Lemongrass pho with shrimp

    I wish I could give 5 stars because the lemongrass pho was mouth watering good. Chefs kiss. I'm Vietnamese and was skeptical when my friend said we should come here for lemongrass pho. I thought it would be the spicy beef (Bun Bo Hue) broth with pho noodles instead. Boy was I wrong, this lemongrass broth is heaven on earth. I got the regular spicy which was perfect for me. I would recommend mild spicy if you're not used to eating spices; my friend had a hard time with the regular spicy. I couldn't give 5 stars because their summer rolls were mostly vegetables and could use more vermicelli noodles. Other Vietnamese restaurants' summer/spring rolls fillings are more substantial than this Pho Viet.

    Got the vermicelli noodle with lemongrass pork! It was good but I kinda wish it was more fish sauce-y hehe, maybe I should've asked for more sauce. Service was good, the restaurant is on the smaller size and they were packed throughout the night!

    they have an AMAZING vegetable pho, so the vegetarians and vegans are not missing out one bit when u come here. the service was great and it is a really cute & quaint spot. the food is always ready pretty fast as well.

    Spicy Lemongrass Pho- Shrimp
    Taneadra P.

    The only place I order Pho! I love Pho Viet on 14th on any day, it's a nice tucked in small resturaunt on 14th st. The service is always speedy whether there's a line full of customers waiting out or the door or not! The Spicy Lemongrass Shimp Pho is the only things I order, and of course I'm ordering it all year around! No complaints 100/10!

    Lemongrass spicy pho
    Nishitha S.

    This place was very good! The lemongrass spicy pho with maximum spice is very tolerable but I noticed in my two times eating there that it does vary significantly by who is in the kitchen. I did have to have them add more spice when my full spicy pho tasted like medium, which they were happy to do. Regardless this place is some solid pho although my friends who are California natives were not as impressed. Did not enjoy the spring rolls as they tasted a bit old. The egg rolls were good but not your classic egg rolls! Service is fast but be warned that seating inside is limited and often you have to share table with another party so I probably wouldn't go here on a first date..

    Lemongrass pho with chicken and salted lemonade
    Alexis G.

    My favorite (and really the only) place I get pho! They have an amazing spicy lemongrass broth that will open your sinuses right up. I also love the salted lemonade and the crunchy fried egg rolls. This location is always buzzing, and it reminds me of a cozy cafe in Saigon.

    This is the best pho in DC and probably the best pho I've had in a long time. The broth is extremely flavorful and the way they do their spice is much different from all the other spots. They give you actual spicy sauce instead of just siracha Check them out

    Chicken pho
    Julia G.

    Came here with a friend who lives in the neighborhood and loves the lemongrass pho. I ordered the chicken pho -- which another friend told me is blasphemous ("you didn't order the beef?") - oops lol. Its a good portion size. Lots of noodles. I got the quarter spicy which was plenty for me.

The ordering process can be a bit confusing as you can order on a kiosk or there is someone at the register that you can also order from. Would be a dream for someone that doesn't prefer interaction. The bathrooms were REALLY nasty. Seemed as if they had not been cleaned in a while. There were also several tables that were empty but also dirty. I took the spray bottle since there wasn't an employee around to clean it myself. All in all the place is decent but they can do some tweaks to fix the location up.

Vietnamese beef carpaccio - I think he mentioned they only launched this new menu item maybe 3-4 weeks ago!

Its not too bitter and actually i feel the sweetness and milky levels balance well. it gets really brought together by the salted foam on top! 3.5/5 The butcher's bowl - we saw the fresh noodles being sliced right in front of us!

In this case, their broth is hits home hardest. The broth reminds me of the best Pho places I have had in Vietnam and even more, and sets itself apart from every Pho places I have had in the US.
