Right in the middle of the bustling Union Market, I decided to try PhoWheels, and I'm so glad I did. I went with the oxtail pho and was not disappointed at all. Okay...this just made sense. Like why did I not think of this combo sooner?? The oxtail was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with that rich, comforting broth and noodles I love. Every bite hit. Portion size was good, flavors were a hit, and overall it was giving 5 stars across the board. If you're walking through Union Market and need something that's actually going to satisfy you, this is it. read more

Food was everything I thought it would be. I got the pork belly banh mi added chicken pate, roti tacos one chicken thigh and one pork belly. They don't skimp on the protein. Honestly half of a banh mi is filling. I can't wait to try the oxtail cheesesteak next, definitely will be returning. read more

We were in town to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and she highly recommended giving this place a try. The OG Roti Onion Tofu Tacos were delicious! The tofu was flavorful and had a good texture. The roti was a good vessel. It was soft but able to hold all the filling. Drizzled on top, the sriracha lime mayo added spice and sweetness. I enjoyed it! My husband had OG Roti Pork Belly Tacos, which he also enjoyed. He had leftovers and said they tasted just as good reheated. Please get their Pandan Toast! It is soaked in butter and their pandan syrup. The crust on the outside was probably crunchy, but after sopping up all the syrup, it had a good chew. The inside had a soft, pleasant cake texture. The man who rang us up also packed our order, and he was awesome! They had a steady flow of customers, and I was able to get my order in under 10 minutes. Their station was clean and organized. I would recommend this spot; they also have two other locations read more

I got the oxtail pho and it did not disappoint! The flavor was really good and they give you a good amount of oxtail worth your money! Sometimes pho can be pretty bland but the flavor of the broth was well seasoned. The service was pretty quick and the ambiance was busy as always in Union Market. read more

Came to try the ox-tail cheesesteak bahn mi. It comes with a little consomé cup. This is a filling sandwich. It is a splurge , but we wanted to see if it lived up to its social media hype and it does. You could share the sandwich with the bestie and leave room for other foodie samplings. It has an order kiosk and I'd use that instead of waiting for the person behind the counter. The more they tend to cashiering , the longer it'll take to get your meal. read more

My nine-year-old daughter often craves pho from this stand inside Union Market. Compared to other stands inside, this one sometimes has a wait due to the one self-service iPad to order, but it's worth the wait. The steak pho is delicious. The noodles are perfect, the broth flavorful, and the meat cooked perfectly. It comes with a few sauces and a lime wedge on the side. read more

Even though it was pretty warm and humid today, I was still craving something warm and soupy, and pho was the perfect option. We ordered at the kiosk and got our pho within 5-10 minutes. PHO DAC BIET - 17.98 The bowl was pretty small for the price, but it came with a good amount of meat, which was pretty tender. Noodles were initially too hard, but softened over time swimming in the broth. The broth was kind of a hit or miss. I enjoyed how strong and rich it was, with lots of meaty flavor, but my mom didn't like the slight acidic after taste. Overall, still one of the better broths I've had in the area. It was pricy, not the most filling, but pretty tasty. That's actually above average for a Union Market food stall. read more

Ordered on a busy but cold Sunday afternoon, as a warm bowl of pho sounded good. Regarding the photo itself, I liked the taste and size of the meatballs as well as the $3 add-on I purchased for soft tendon. One thing I wasn't a fan of was regarding the service. Union market was really busy given that it was a weekend, and when I had ordered my pho, the lady helping me had said my order will be ready in five minutes. I completely understand that that's just a rough guess but when I saw the workers chit chatting with one another rather than fulfilling orders, it wasn't the greatest feeling from a customer standpoint. Once my order was fulfilled, I saw my name on my order and had tried to flag down one of the workers. Instead of handing it to me, they said something along the lines of "Oh we will call your order when it's ready," despite it being packaged up. All in all, hope the service improves in the future but the pho itself was good, which leads me to rate it more middle of the road. read more

Y'all I forgot how good the food is here. I got the chicken pho and even when it was steaming hot I finished the whole thing in record time. Lol I used to enjoy their food truck at festivals but when I came to Union market for a lunch meeting I wanted to try them again. I have been crazing it ever since so I will be back there this week. The broth, chicken pieces, the sprouts all were very fresh and flavorful even without the hoisin and hot sauce. read more

Been here before and had an ok experience with the food. Saw they had oxtail eggrolls and just had to try it. Four decent size eggrolls for a good price and 3 sauces to choose from. Eggrolls were crunchy, flaky on the outside and filled with tender melt in your mouth oxtail and herbaceous veggies on the inside. Definitely redeemed themselves from last visit. Glad I gave it another go read more

Worst vietnamese coffee ever! It's pre made but I've had good pre made coffee before. I don't think they use condensed milk and it has a weird flavor. Also saw the guy put in milk?! Fake authentic spot. Wouldn't recommend unless you are into that kind of thing. read more

Vibe: N/A - within Union Market Service: 6/10 Value: 4/10 - very overpriced - there's much cheaper pho available that's on par or better than this! Oxtail cheesesteak banh mi: 8/10 - really enjoyed this! The bread could use some improvement - banh mi bread is typically more firm. Eye of round pho: 8/10 - delicious, but nothing mind blowing Overall: 6.5/10 (3.25/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical] read more

This is one of my favorite go to Pho spots. They ALWAYS hit! The flavor in the broth is so amazingly rich but light at the same time. The staff is usually super nice and informative if you have any questions or concerns about ingredients or allergies regarding the menu! They always have an abundance of utensils and condiments easily available and accessible. It's located in the middle of the market across from Lucky Buns so it's no seating for them specifically like some of the other spaces but there is extra seating in the market for everyone, no matter where you've gotten food from. Definitely going back and kind of becoming a regular! 10/10 already recommended to everyone I know! read more

PhoWheels Union Market - Eye Round Pho... SO good! - Vietnamese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

They have a new larger location inside the food hall! This must mean they're doing well and will stay a while which I'm happy about because they have now been offering one of my favorite dishes that I crave. The Bo-khirria roti tacos w/ broth are unlike anything I've had! The flaky raised crust they use to make the taco shell is the palette grabber, perfectly complemented by the beef and the broth. I only recently became the fan of Birria tacos and love them at a little place on U st. This is a fun elevation although I could eat them back to back! Ordering is smooth, about a 15 minute wait. I do recommend a different carrying container for the broth for carryout. If it tips over in the car you're done for, it's not completely sealed. So I would be afraid to order it from DoorDash or anything. read more

Very solid pho being served up in union market. The portion was larger than it initially appeared. The noodles and meat were actually aplenty but it could have used some more of the veggie garnishes to really bring it to the next level. The broth was rich and developed and still plenty hot by the time we sat down to dig in. read more

Was really happy to see PhoWheels at Union Market as I've always been a fan since their first food truck. However, upon sitting down, I was so disappointed. I ordered the oxtail pho to-go. It was packaged fairly quick and I was on my way. When I sat down to eat, I immediately noticed the usual fixings were nowhere to be found. No bean sprouts, hot sauce, onions, Thai basil, scallions -- just noodles and a few jalapeño slices. The broth was fine, but I expected it to be more flavorful considering I ordered oxtail pho. The oxtail itself was tender enough -- a bit fatty. I was underwhelmed, and will not visit this location again. read more

The oxtail eggrolls are a must! I walked by during my final visit to Union Market and had to try them. They are well seasoned, crispy, and full of flavor. The cheese is not overwhelming and comes with two dipping sauces. The services are fast and food took no time. Union Market is a food hall, so expect it to be busy and loud. read more

Just came home with two Bahn Mi sandwiches after reading glowing reviews of PhoWheels online....we ordered "pork belly" as our protein and added the pate, so it cost close to $40 for both. I am not exaggerating when I say that 2/3 of the huge pile of "meat" in each sandwich was pure fat. NO MEAT - just endless globs of steamed fat. The meat wasn't lean or cooked and seasoned the way Bahn Mi usually is. We are very, very disappointed and will not return. read more

The pho is good. I really enjoy the broth and was so shocked how affordable the addition of oxtail was! the first bowl I purchased had a nice amount of oxtail but every bowl since has been SO SMALL. Maybe they gave me double the first time lol idk, but paying $31 for a bowl on uber eats pickup is insane. especially with the decreased portion of oxtail. Am I going to keep coming here? Yes...lol but I don't like the stark difference in servings. read more

Oh my goodness. The food was amazing. I am on a Birria trip so I ordered the egg rolls AND the tacos. Way too much food for one person so I shared and now I regret it. I went Saturday and I am sitting at my desk now (2hours away) wishing I could have more. Ridiculously delicious food that makes me want to catch the train back to DC just for it. Union market is definitely a great place to shop and eat - especially on a beautiful day due to more seating outside. Had a pretty good wait for my food but it was made fresh and more than worth it. Service was with a smile. Recommend. read more

It's been a minute since I ate from Phowheels, the last time was at their food truck. Their pho is good but I didn't get any this time. I was attracted to their seats haha, a rare commodity in Union Market, and so I ended up ordering their oxtail cheesesteak sandwich and it was as rich as it sounds. Very tasty but I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The small cup of broth serves with it helps and did that broth taste so good. read more

This place was decent. I ordered the oxtail pho and the birria egg rolls. The egg rolls were the bomb. They came with a side of consommé and it was very flavorful. My pho and oxtails didn't really taste like much but you did get a pretty hefty serving of oxtails on the side. read more

Asian fusion spot inside Union Market with a nice range of options on the menu for a reasonable price. Also no line and a very short wait which is a definite plus here! The chicken thigh roti tacos were amazing - I just wish they'd mix up the pickled carrots and radish more because some bites were just layered pickled veg. I also ordered the Thai tea which wasn't bad but didn't really have that authentic Thai tea flavor. I'd definitely get the roti tacos again and try some of the other options but pass on the Thai tea, especially at $6.50/cup! read more

Union Market has made a great new addition. Phowheels have been in the game for over a decade and has finally started to expand. They have recently been on a crazy ox-tail kick creating creative items like Ox-tail roti tacos and Ox-tail pho. My personal favorite is the Ox-tail cheesesteak Banh Mi. That rich & fatty Ox-tail just goes so well with that French bread, cheese, and Pho dip.... pricy, but worth a try! I can't wait for them to bring back my favorite: the Shaky Beef Banh Mi :) read more

I got the oxtail egg rolls which came with 4 for about $25. They were decent, I wish they came with some kind of broth dip or consume like with birria tacos so overall rating is an 8/10 The pork belly roti tacos were really good and those came with 2 for about $20-25. They were really big and filled with a lot of meat so they're a great bang for your buck, the pork belly was very tender and well flavored. I wish they sold things in smaller quantities so I could try a few different things read more

The bahnmi's were yummy. I tried both the pork belly and chicken thighs... Pork belly bahn mi definitely wins. I will say though, I was disappointed at the size of the sandwiches. Each were about $15-16 and were very small. I finally got to try the iconic oxtail cheesesteak. Definitely yummy! My one complaint is that it got a bit too greasy towards the end. Overall, good food, maybe I was expecting a bit more. If I tried the wrong menu items, please recommend others! read more

I arrived for a pickup order at 7:35 PM. The staff couldn't find the ticket. I politely offered to cancel the order to save them the trouble, assuming it was a system glitch. The staff member completely snapped. He took my polite suggestion as an insult and began yelling "It's my job!" while slamming kitchen tools around the stall. It was genuinely scary how he switched it on and off--he would scream at me, then turn around and calmly serve someone else, then turn back to being aggressive with me. I ended up waiting 15 minutes in a hostile environment just to get the food I paid for (Receipt attached, timestamp 7:52 PM). DoorDash has already issued a full refund due to the safety concerns here, but customers need to know: the staff behavior is unpredictable and aggressive. read more

Pho Wheels coming to Union Market is a good addition. I didn't know what I was in the mood for but a little Pho never hurt anybody. Even if it's 90 degrees outside. I ordered the steak pho. It was prepared quickly. Less than 5 mins. It was fresh and flavorful with plenty of noodles and broth. I added a few jalapeños for a little extra spice but it tasted good without. It just depends on your spice tolerance. read more

Great food, sucky service. The good: food is always delicious! The bo khirria is always amazing and flavorful. you can't go wrong with anything in the menu. The bad: the union market location has such rude staff. firstly you're told to put your phone number in and they'll text you when your food is ready. We sat at a nearby table to reserve a place to eat and they never texted us. Meanwhile our food was sitting on their counter the whole time ready to go. Upon getting our food, we weren't provided with utensils or anything for it. They have a set up right in front of where you order with utensils and napkins laid out. So since we were not provided any, we thought we had to take some from there. The staff immediately started yelling at us for doing so. Also don't call your customers "bro". I'm not your bro. I'm a paying customer. So maybe provide everything we need with our food or have a sign that says to ask for provisions. read more

I recently ordered food from PhoWheels DC and had an amazing experience. I tried the Banh Mi, OG Roti Tacos, and the Oxtail Cheesesteak special, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The Banh Mi was fresh and flavorful, the OG Roti Tacos were a delightful fusion of textures and tastes, and the Oxtail Cheesesteak special was incredibly savory and satisfying. The quality of the food and the vibrant flavors truly impressed me. If you're looking for a place with outstanding Vietnamese cuisine, PhoWheels is a must-visit at Union Market!

I stoped by union market in search of a delectable lunch, and after walking down aisle after aisle I stumbled upon PhoWheels. Of course before I settled on an item I scoured their insta which had pic after pic of mouthwatering food. I ultimately decided on their pork belly tacos which unlike your standard taco venue comes with a roti instead of a tortilla. The sauce was amazing, the roti soft and the pork belly was crispy and the service was delightful and quick. Overall, I'd give PhoWheels a 5/5 and a special place on my lunch list. read more

These guys genuinely care about the quality of their food and service. My wife and I had some pho last night. It took her about a half hour to get home, and yea the noodles were slightly soft, but the guy adamantly warned about that. They were still delicious. What I thought was absolutely outstanding was the quality of the broth. So deep and rich but clean and light, which is the goal but tough to do. BRAVO guys BRAVO!!! Meat was also tender and plentiful. It was so comforting and I can't stop thinking about it. Highly recommend and will be back soon. The other items on the menu are also CHRONIC! Real pros read more
