Crispy rolls and bun makes a good lunch. Ready when I got there and no issues. Will return

Came here for lunch after craving some warm soup as it's getting cooler. The food is always on point. I prefer the ending here over other restaurants in the area. The large pieces of tendon are so hearty. It's a great dish to have with any bowl of Pho. Had the beef rib pho which was also great to eat. The rib was the shorter or smaller rib, it would have been good to get maybe two of the smaller ribs. Vietnamese coffee always hits the spot on cold fall and winter days. Service is excellent and food comes out quickly. The playlist was easy on the ears. Eric Clapton and other soft rock hits. read more

Definitely a good option for takeout when visiting my parents, but I think I'd only reorder half of what we got. I thought the beef in the noodle soup was too fatty (but honestly it was probably stew meat and I should've known better) but the broth was divine. I liked the pad see ew, LOVED the lemongrass beef. I thought the chicken was okay and the pork belly was much too tough. Would order here again and stick to things like the stir fry dishes, or try their pho, which they're obviously known for and none of us got any! read more

There is one thing that this pho place is known for... and hold onto your britches... it's not the pho. In fact, it's not even a Viet dish. Pholuscious' Hainanese chicken is both interesting, unique, and very delicious. They do a take on this Southern Chinese dish that has a lot of people talking. Have you ever had Hainanese Chicken? It's a poached chicken that is served with a flavorful rice, dipping broth, and punchy sauces. I've been to Pholuscious maybe 4-5 times now and each time this is what I get. Sometimes other things, and those other things are delicious, (the quail appetizer is legit), but I always get the Hainanese Chicken. The last time I ordered 2 Hainanese Chickens over the phone for pick up and the lady called me back who took my order, and told me they actually only had one portion left. I still went and got it. It was a sad day, me and my friend had to split one dish, but look, I survived and I'm able to talk about it today. Barely, though. read more

On a cold, rainy afternoon, we decided to warm ourselves with a warm bowl of pho. But, the story here is not just the pho, but some of the other delicious dishes we tried. For appetizers, we started off with spring rolls. They were freshly made and had a large portion of shrimp. The peanut dipping sauce, has siracha already added to it. But, our wonderful waiter brought me some sauce, without the siracha. It was rich and creamy. Then, we had a quail appetizer. It was roasted quail in a tasty sauce. The quail was cooked perfectly, fall off the bone, and so good, you want to savor the experience. Next, we both had pho. A rich, hearty broth filled with shrimp in my case and tender beef in my dining partners. It was huge and there was plenty to take home. We also ordered Hunan Chicken. I loved the rice. I have no idea how they cooked it or what spices the put in it, but it was wonderful. The chicken itself was moist and tender. It was served with two dipping sauce. It was my dining partner's favorite dish. But, for me, it had a tad bit too much ginger. But, if you like ginger, this dish is a must order. It got excellent comments in reviews we read. Service was excellent. Our meals came out in perfect timing. Our water cups were always full. Our waiter was nice and accommodating. It is a lovely quaint designed restaurant with plenty of seating. It was my first time there, but certainly won't be my last. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in the Terminator, " I'll be back!" read more

It has been a while since I was there, but loved it. This time I ordered pho to go, as I usually do. When I took it out of the bag, I saw that the peppers were already in and there was no basil. I found the broth very bland. One last thing, there was no customers at the inside tables, one was outside. I think that should have been a clue. Not sure what happened but I need to find another Pho restaurant. read more

I love pho so much, I would eat this on a hot summer day! A good pho place is hard to find!. However, this place satisfies my palate. Friendly service from the get-go. Nice, cozy interior. I always get #2 with a peach ice tea. Not many places can make a good broth. Most salt it down, not good, but this place has the tastiest broth, no matter what proteins you get. I strongly recommend eating in because it tastes different when you get carry out. Service can be slow. Then again it's one guy running the show. The garnishes are a little skimpy. I love tons of scallions, Thai Basil and limes. Other places Like Pho House are very generous with that. The peach tea, expensive for what you get. Not that sweet or flavorful. They added too much noodles and not so much meat. Which is why I gave them 4 stars read more

Pholuscious Vietnamese Grill - #2 PHO! - Vietnamese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Great Vietnamese food at reasonable prices. Be sure to try their offerings besides pho. I love their pork vermicelli; light, full of veggies, porky, and delicious. Also, try their Bun bo Hue. A Vietnamese friend told me they have the most authentic version in the area. Most of my orders are takeout, so I'm not the best to judge their service and ambiance. However, the lady behind the counter is always friendly when I go to pick up food. read more

I'm not Vietnamese and am no expert on pho, but I'm pretty sure this much fat is gross by anyone's standards. I love pho and have had it at a lot of different places, and this is hands down the worst. I ordered the beef flank steak and brisket (P9) dish. Totally not palatable. I thought it was a fluke the first time so I gave it a second chance. In the back of my mind I wonder if they give me the bottom of the barrel because I ordered it through Uber Eats, but either way, lesson learned. read more

While shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's, I would often notice Pholicious. As a lover of Pho, my interest was always piqued. I finally had the opportunity to try out the restaurant and I liked it. The pho was hot and flavorful. Even though the restaurant was relatively full (it was Father's Day), I was seated quickly, ordered in a decent amount of time and received my pho very quickly. The staff was super attentive and was always standing by waiting to refill my water glass. All in all, I have no complaints about the restaurant. read more

Everything was well prepared and my two daughters and I shared: pho with beef, chicken wings, beef with vegetables. Highly recommended. That was a late lunch with no food left over! I've eaten there over twenty times and enjoy going back 20 more times! read more

I love salt and pepper fish fillets, so I was extremely happy to see it on the menu here. It was delicious! The fish was crispy and the seasoning was great! There was a perfect amount of pepper to salt to garlic. There were plenty of jalapeños to add a kick to each bite too! I also was craving the boneless Hainan chicken again and it was great! It was a little less salty than before and I definitely would order it again and again. I am updating my review to 4 stars because what I've had there is good and I am excited to try more menu items! read more

Sadly, by far, the worst pho I've had. I was at Trader Joe's across the way, famished and saw this place. Because I'd been craving pho, I thought it was faith to see this restaurant as I'm exiting the store. The staff were very friendly upon my arrival. I ordered their spicy chicken noodle soup and there was absolutely nothing spicy about this soup. It tasted watery and lacked any real flavor. I was highly disappointed. I also ordered the lemongrass chicken in the rare event that the soup was not good, that was also tasteless and a waste of carbs. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

Great bubble tea! Food is excellent too especially the Lemon grass pork dish and the pho.

Our family has been coming here for over eight years. In all of that time only once did they not get it right but the rest have been absolutely flawless. In a world where everything is getting just a little bit crappier, this place has kept standards and experience high consistently. If you're in the mood for authentic Vietnamese flavors, Pholicious in Rockville is a great spot to check out. The restaurant is cozy, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they really care about the food they serve. The pho is the star of the menu. The broth is rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced, and loaded with fresh ingredients. Whether you go for the beef, chicken, or tofu, you won't be disappointed. It's comfort food at its best! I also tried their spring rolls and banh mi --both were fresh, delicious, and just what you'd hope for from a Vietnamese spot. The banh mi, especially, had that perfect combination of crispy bread and savory fillings. And if you like bubble tea, their options are solid! The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food comes out quickly without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner with family or friends. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming spot with great food, Pholicious is worth a visit. It's nothing over-the-top fancy, but that's what makes it feel so authentic. Definitely coming back! read more

Their Hainanese Chicken is the best!! Servers were also very friendly, overall no complaints about our dining experience

this place is always delicious. I have eaten here many many times highly recommend. all of the dishes are excellent.

This place is a Malaysian Canto Chinese restaurant that also sells pho. Their non pho dishes are great. I just had the pholucious noodles and belacan fried rice and they are both authentic to Indonesian/Malaysian Chinese flavors. I am eager to try their other non pho dishes. read more

New to the neighborhood and had a flight out to kick off the kids summer vacation. We had been wanting to try this restaurant and had high hopes. Food made 2 of us very sick and lacked fresh flavor. What we ordered: Fresh spring rolls - These were the best part of the entire meal! Drunken Spaghetti with Chicken - Lacked flavor and fresh herbs PhoLicious Noodles - Bland and chicken was rubbery Spicy Dumplings - In our 11 year olds words Just "meh" We called to advise that both adults had gotten sick. The response was indifferent. All in all I would say to skip this place. The food is not fresh and lacks flavor. read more

I highly recommend this place if you like Vietnamese food. We ordered combo rice plate with lemongrass pork, chicken and shrimp. The meat is juicy and tasty! We like the marinated lemongrass pork a lot! Another dish that I often order is the spicy chicken noodle soup. The broth has been consistently above our expectations. I love this soup! Service: Waitress/waiter all are very friendly and bonus point for the cozy atmosphere! read more

The food amazing. I been there a few times. The best food during winter. I love their rice and pho dishes.

One size only (Large) for this bowl, I ordered Special with all meats toppings $14. It's the small size bowl compare to other Pho restaurant, less meats and doesn't have much Pho beef flavors in the broth. First time eat at this place and I'm not impressed. I don't recommend this place for authentic Vietnamese Pho. Phở bò không ngon. read more

Not good, charging $0.50 per box for takeout boxes to take home food not eaten at dinner.

I came here last night with my cousin and both got the regular pho. The food came out pretty fast but was nothing extraordinary or memorable. There was barely any meat in the broth, just a lot of noodles. There are lots of pho options in the rockville area so I would recommend those places if wanting a good pho option. The service was inattentive and did not get any water refills until the end when I was already done with the meal. There weren't even that many people in the restaurant... The main issue I had with this restaurant was that on the menu it said the pho costed $10.5 but the total came out to almost $15 and then tip added an extra $2/3 so I ended up paying a total of almost double what the menu said the pho would cost. I understand that there are taxes, but how does a $10 pho come out to $15? There was no "receipt" as the payout system was done on an electronic device that did not give a breakdown of the prices. It seems dishonest, fishy and cheap. I would not come back simply due to the poor service and dishonest pay that I experienced regardless of the quality of the food which was mediocre at best. read more

Always hits the spot when you're looking for a place to eat pho in Rockville. We ordered the P9 and service was very quick and came with bean sprouts, basil, jalapeño, and lime. The broth is always delicious and they give a generous amount of noodles. The brisket and flank steak were also fine but didn't stand out too much. Definitely a great staple pho place. read more

First time visiting so not sure if this is the norm but was not a great first impression. Order : large number 15 $14.xx. Close to $15 don't remember exact price. Soup was ok, very mild in flavor. Not bad but almost watered down. Meat: almost non existent. Literally the smallest amount I've ever gotten big or small pho anywhere. Veg: struggled to find a single onion, almost no sprouts, no cilantro, no chilis. The smallest fraction of a lime I've ever seen. Like the size of 1 mini marshmallow. Noodles: undercooked and still hard even after adding almost boiling soup. Doubt I'll be back for a second try. 2stars because they were super nice and decent packaging read more

We were craving a nice bowl of pho on this rainy day. My boyfriend has been trying to find a place around Montgomery county that has Bun Bo Hue. He thought it was a pretty decent bowl of bun Bo hue, but wished it was a bit more flavorful. My pho definitely hit the spot. However, I wish the broth was more rich in flavors. I had to add a lot of lime to bring out more of the flavors. All in all, this is a pretty solid pho place. I felt all warmed up in this cold weather. read more

This is my FAVORITE pho place in the area! I come here at least a couple times a month and have never been disappointed. Definitely a food that is better in restaurant, but I have also gotten it to-go before and it is still delicious. The restaurant is a good size and the staff are always so friendly and attentive. I usually get the chicken pho, which has amazing flavors, and add sriracha to it. I have also tried the vegetable pho with the beef broth. Both are incredible! One of my favorite things to get are the spring rolls. They are so crispy and the dipping sauce is a little sweet and spicy which really compliments the pork. The spicy wontons were really good and you get a lot for only $6 but they were definitelllyyyy spicy! I did add some of the chili oil to my pho broth and it added a great taste. Love this place, recommend it to all my friends who love pho and you really can't beat the price either!!!! read more

The people are very friendly here and welcomed us and waited patiently while we looked over the menu. The food is freshly prepared here. You order the pho by number. I tried the brisket beef. It was tasty. The broth reminded me of bone broth so it had that rich beef taste. It comes with bean sprouts and other green leaf-type vegetables. Although, I thought it was well-prepared, I wished I had gotten a chicken pho for a "lighter" taste. I also had a side of crispy tofu. This was a different preparation that what I was used to. It had a slightly salty taste and it was lightly fried. I liked it. My other half had the lemongrass shredded pork. It came with rice. There was so much meat and it was quite lemony. There were definitely leftovers for the next day. If you are in the area to shop at Trader Joe's and do not feel like cooking, this is a close by option. read more

Lordt! This place needs new chefs. The pho is flavorless and they forgot to bring the razzle dazzle that comes with pho. The dumplings tasted like gasoline. The popcorn chicken was nothing like advertised. They were extremely bland. The fried rice was a tragedy that tasted like hopelessness and despair. Worst piña colada ever. However, the fried spring rolls and pork belly were delicious. As was the sake jello shot. Although we repeatedly made it known that we were unhappy with our meal, the manager or owner, whoever she was, tried to force it on us and keep it at our table. Meanwhile the old couple next to us were given a complimentary dish to replace the first dish that they hated. I'm not sure what was wrong with our waitress. Perhaps she was overwhelmed or something. But she barely paid attention. Getting through to her was very difficult. I gave one star cuz I'm pretty sure the poor thing was overwhelmed so it's not her fault. read more

Came by for dinner on Friday with my mom and it was packed! Luckily, Pholuscious has both outdoor and indoor seating and since it is still hot, plenty of people opted for outdoor seating. Not one to enjoy the exhaust fumes and parking lot vibes, we opted for indoor seating. I ordered the Grilled Lemongrass Beef Bun, which was tasty! The proportions were just right and they gave me plenty of sauce to pour over it. The beef was well-cooked and had great flavor, and the vermicelli texture was just right. Also tried a bite of my mom's Large Bowl of Pho (P1). Probably the smallest large size I've seen at a pho place, but it was plenty of food and the soup broth was delicious! Service was nice and our food came out quickly, but our water glasses sadly weren't refilled. Easy casual dinner spot, would come back! read more

There is a very extensive menu that covers Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, and some South Asian cuisine. I came here right before noon when it shortly became very busy on a Thursday. The summer rolls were a bland and the shrimp tasted overcooked. They were nice enough to omit the pork upon request and they can even make it vegetarian. There was a nice crunch to the summer rolls from the veg with in but I needed a lot of the dipping sauce to help finish it. The large bowls of pho have a good meat to noodle ratio: for every spoonful of noodle, there was a piece a meat. The large portion was a bit more than I expected so if I come again, I might get a regular. The broth itself is semi-sweet and good enough to drink on its own. I added a squeeze of lime, some Thai basil, and some jalapeños to give it a bit of acidity and kick for my personal preference. read more

I don't usually rate small businesses one star because I know there's so many factors that go into keeping a business open, especially in the post-pandemic economy. BUT this place just doesn't seem to care about their quality or service. The food taste freezer burnt. They skimp on the portions. But the thing that drove me to write this review is a blatantly rude and unfair practices. I asked to be seated outside. I was informed that it wasn't open at the time. Fine. I proceeded to dine inside when not 20 mins later another customer walks up, asks to be seated outside and the manager allows her. Now, I have a suspicion why the manager allowed one customer to be seated outside over another but I'll let those reading my review make their own determination. I pointed this out to the staff and they shrugged. I used to visit here once a week for two years. I was willing to support this local business despite the decline in quality and portions, but being treated unfairly is where I draw the line. I won't spend another dollar here. read more
