    Pho Wheels in three words... I. Modern II. Extraordinary III. Delicious From the outside aesthetic to the drive-through this place is nothing like mini have seen or tasted it before. The service is impeccable. The food is delicious and goes beyond your normal Vietnamese place. I'm talking wings not your normal cheesesteaks and of course Pho, AND so much more. I could go on and on about this place, but I'd rather not I'd rather jump in my car and go back there to order another meal. It's very good! You'd either eat it all and be stuffed, or have a lot leftover because the serving sizes are generous! I can't wait to go back.

    Friendly service and a drive-thru! I have been following Phowheels for the past few years, first trying them in their food truck in Friendship Heights. I was excited to see they opened a Brick + Mortar store in Burtonsville. The signage is great, very creative with nods to the local area. When I walked inside, I was greeted right away and had friendly service at the cash register. I ordered the honey garlic wings, and the pork belly on bahn mi. The wings were very crispy and came with a coconut ranch which was delicious. I would've liked a little bit more flavor/spice for my wings, but they were good. The pork belly bahn mi was good, fresh roll, and they accommodated me by putting the garlic aïoli on the side. They have tables and chairs outside by the drive-thru, which was nice to sit outside. Plenty of free parking in the Burtonsville Crossing parking lot. My one piece of feedback is that the bathrooms could use a deep clean. The floors were very dirty.

    I'm so glad we found this place! They serve unique Vietnamese street food with a creative twist. We ordered the pho cheesesteak bánh mì and the chicken bánh mì, and both were packed with flavor. The cheesesteak had that signature pho-spiced taste and an amazing cheese pull. They also offer rice bowls and pho noodle soups. Ordering is simple -- you place your order at the counter and pick it up when it's ready. The service was fast and friendly, and the whole experience was great. We'll definitely be back!

    Fried eggroll
    Peninna A.

    I had a great experience with the Phowheels team! We went through the drive through and the staff member we spoke to was super extroverted and welcoming. She took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu and made recommendations. I ordered the fried veggie eggrolls and the oxtail cheesesteak. I loved the egg roll (crispy and standard flavor), but was not a huge fan of the cheesesteak. The cheese was mild and super creamy, which I am not a big fan of on sandwiches. That was totally my mistake while ordering; I should have considered the type of cheese used. I think I would have enjoyed the banh mirria way more, and intend to try it next time. Outside of the cheese, the cheesesteak was a good portion size and they didn't skimp on the meat. The broth was tasty and savory (but not overly salty). Although the cheesesteak may not have been my preference, my family loved it. I definitely need to try a few more items on their menu to solidify my opinion, but overall the restaurant is a great vibe and a unique addition to the area.

    Oxtail pho
    TaNeisha J.

    I remember when Phowheels started as a food truck and I would make sure I stalked their social media to find out where they would be for the day. I'm so proud of the owners and happy they have yet another brick and mortar location! Their phô is definitely in my top 5. I usually order the oxtail phô or the brisket. The broth is light and aromatic -- very comforting. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly. Let's talk about the oxtail, shall we? So tender and flavorful! I like to order take-out so I can get down the way I want lol. The inside is relatively small, and on a cold night, you may not find a seat! Definitely check them out! Cheers!

    Bo-Khirria Eggrolls
    Mimi W.

    Besides being the first Vietnamese food drive-thru in MD, Phowheels has one of the most unique menus I've seen - and so many oxtail dishes! This is Vietnamese street food and they've made some bold twist to classic dishes - I especially like their "bo-khirria" items, which is a twist on Birria beef, which is dipped into their savory Vietnamese beef stew (bo kho broth). Their fusion tacos were also tasty and the Shaky Beef Rice Bowl was marinated well. At first it seems a little pricey for a fast-casual type place, but the portions are good and the freshness of the ingredients are worth it! And you can't beat the super friendly service there with the cute cartoon drawings all around!

    Wings
    Ashley L.

    Customer service is excellent. From the moment we pulled up (yes, they have a drive-thru, which is super convenient), the staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Inside, they were attentive, checked in regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. Service is definitely a standout. The pho itself was flavorful with a rich, aromatic broth. It's on the expensive side compared to other pho places, so it feels more like a treat yourself kind of spot rather than an everyday go to. The banh mi was really good! Fresh bread with a nice crunch on the outside and soft inside, and the fillings were well-balanced and tasty. I'd absolutely order that again. The wings were a bit of a letdown. While the flavor was actually really good, they were very oily and had a lot more breading than meat. The wings themselves were pretty small, so it felt like you were mostly eating crispy coating. I didn't love that the food dined in was served in paper bowls with plastic cutlery. I did love that they included icons on the menu next to items that contain certain allergens. I feel seeeen. Overall: great service, solid pho and banh mi, convenient drive-thru, but pricey. I'd come back, especially for the banh mi and the friendly service.

    Dac biet banh mi
    Rachel N.

    This place was popping on a Saturday night! Lots of seating though. The anime art on the walls was a nice touch. I think one of the managers was cashiering because he was so personable and friendly. All the workers seemed to care about this establishment. Wings 7/10: Crispy and delicious. Didn't feel too oily in the moment. Banh mi dac biet 11/10: easily the best of the 3. So flavorful with the pate and so refreshing with the carrots/cucumbers. I don't even like cucumbers but this meal made me appreciate them more. Oxtail cheesesteak banh mi 7/10: on the heavier side. apparently even better reheated a day later. Overall, I wish the banh mi was more toasted to give a better crunch.

    Honey garlic wings
    Thomas T.

    The lemon pepper wings had a really good flavor. The honey garlic not so much. I didn't like how the skin just crumbled. It's like they put too much batter or something. My cousin got the oxtail cheese steak and said it was decent. The staff are super friendly and serve with a smile on their face. The place looks clean. Fun atmosphere to hang out. With a nice shopping center.

    I really wanted to try the pho but being short on time, I had to get a rice bowl because I think pho needs to be eaten at a table when it's right out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken thigh rice bowl and it was prepared quite quickly. It came in a square container which was very hard to eat because the flaps kept getting in my way. My first bite was very hard rice. I thought to myself, surely this is not what this dish is supposed to be! Maybe I just got a bit of dried rice because the rest of the bowl was fine with soft rice as it should be. I thought the chicken was dry and flavorless. My favorite ingredient was just the pickled veggies. I really wanted to like this place and I'm willing to give it another try later.

    Brisket pho
    Ashley F.

    I've been trying to get here for a while, and I'm so glad I finally made it! I ordered the brisket pho, and as soon as I took a sip of the broth, I was hooked! I ended up ordering the pho again two days later. It was so flavorful. When i went in person to order, the guy at the register was so nice and patient with me. I loved the addition of the fresh thai basil and bean sprouts. If you like spicy, definitely get the chili oil. It's an amazing addition. I can't wait to try other things on the menu.

    Melody A.

    First I would like to take a moment to appreciate being acknowledged and welcomed as soon as I entered the establishment. This means so much to me as a customer that the restaurant appreciates your presence, business and support. Secondly as soon as you walk in you take in the amazing aroma. This visit was my first time here so I needed a minute to look over the impressive menu. So many choices to choose from. I recommend the chicken and shrimp eggrolls, the fried chicken wings and the oxtail pho. The meat was so tender, just falling off the bone. The pho was so flavorful with fresh ingredients such as basil, cilantro and scallions. Just amazing! Make sure to wash it all down with Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea or fresh coconut juices. I can't wait to come back to try more items off the menu. See you soon!

    Chicken Thigh Banh Mi
    Anne-Olive N.

    What a nice fast casual place to have in the Burtonsville. We ordered the oxtail tacos and chicken thigh banh with fries. Skip the fries but definitely get the oxtail tacos - the roti canai flatbread was the star of the show!! Nice amount of oxtail and pretty moist. The chicken banh kk was filling and well seasoned as well. Ample parking in the shopping center and helpful staff members!

Unlike Stewart and Hol, my wife's and my expectations going to Lulu's Gourmet on 13600 Baltimore Ave. in Laurel, Maryland were the same. And those expectations were high, with both of us being fans of pho and both of us having been frequent patrons of the Pho Saigon 54 restaurant that previously occupied Lulu's Gourmet's location. Lulu's servings for the pho, even for takeout orders, are gargantuan, the same size as the barrage of snowballs Stewart playfully launches at Hol before he realizes that she is not enjoying Earth's Christmas holiday season as much as he does. While a tad salty, Lulu's pho tastes great so long as one orders extra noodles to dilute the saltiness. Upon both visits, my wife was disappointed to learn that Lulu's Gourmet did not have any of the Hong Kong Waffles available to purchase that they prominently advertise. On our second visit, she was even more disappointed to not get the strawberry banana cream trang mieng that I attempted to order. I perhaps made a mistake in not getting a receipt to know if we were charged for the dessert and another mistake in showing the manager what we wanted to order on my phone rather than reading our takeout order out loud. Being an optimist like Stewart, I would give Lulu's Gourmet 3.5 stars if that were possible; but, for the purpose of current records, it will have to be a 3.
