    Our delicious spring rolls.
    Joy B.

    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!"

    #2 PHO!
    Shelly J.

    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

    Thai Ice Tea

    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.

    I took all of the meat out and set it aside to snap a pic...then I gave it to the dog.

    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.

    Chicken Pho
    Meghan W.

    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.

    Boneless Chicken Hainan Style
    Tiffany T.

    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!

    Spicy chicken noodle soup- not spicy
    Charlene E.

    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.

    Belacan fried rice
    Fabian M.

    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.

    I found this place on yelp close to work with good reviews so I decided to try it out .. Customer service was great calling in my order . I received my food and glad I checked the bag because my sauces were missing the lady insisted they were in the bowl they were not . also no chop sticks or a soup spoon. The pho broth was the worst pho broth I have tasted no flavor just salt . I inquired about getting dark meat which they had she charged me $7extra for dark meat. There was no onions or cilantro in the bowl . I wont be returning

    Lemongrass beef. Very spicy!

    Some spicy foods are not marked on online order menu. Be careful when you are placing orders if you dislike spicy foods.

    Elizabeth H.

    DELICIOUS lemongrass chicken vermicelli! The chicken is so tender and bursting with bright lemongrass flavor. The beef pad see ew was great as well- not too salty or oily. The summer rolls were fresh. A great place for takeout! They are also doing dine-in.

It's within walking…read moredistance of us, right near the Rockville Metro on the first floor of an office building. Can't believe they've been operating for 6 years and this is the first time I've heard about it. We each got a sandwich - one turkey Reuben ($9.75) and one special - the bulgogi sub ($12.95). Both were prepared fresh for us. Prep was quick. The rye bread on the Reuben was nicely toasted. The sandwich was ample size and the Cole slaw in the sandwich was delish. The bulgogi sub sandwich was also very good. The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, wraps, paninis and salads. Because of our good experience today, I'm sure we'll be back to try some other things, like the spicy chicken wrap and maybe even a hot pastrami or corned beef. There's no fries or other sides for sale, but there's a variety of chips and snacks available. Coolers with sodas, bottled water and other drinks also available. The people preparing the food (I think they are the owners) were friendly. The place was comfortable and pretty quiet during our visit today.

Whenever I get regular spicy at a Thai place I normally expect to be hit with a kick of spice that hits the tongue. Except here everything was just so sweet it made me somewhat nauseous. Most of the soup dishes had similar based of noodles, protein and herbs. Unless you enjoy overly sweet dishes this wasn't for me as I'd prefer a spicy yet savory kick in my Thai dishes with a slight sweetness. It shouldn't be overpowering. Papaya salad reg spice was sweet. No kick whatsoever. Just papaya shaving, some iceberg lettuce at the bottom and some halved grape tomatoes. Khao soi noodle soup a sweet curry broth. A bit too sweet. Also got it with a tempura chicken but it was mostly fried wonton skin and barely any chicken. Chicken was also dry and hard. Tom yum noodle soup A creamy yet spicy "tom yum" broth. It has somewhat of a kick but for regular spice level it was still too sweet. Even with all the red pepper flakes. It was also missing the lemon grass scent in most tom yum soups I'm used to. Thai noodle soup The only non-spicy dish. Broth was a clear base that was somewhat better after all the sweet dishes. But a little bland. Thai green tea was good though. Just a bit sweet but need to be drank with ice.
