"This Capitol Hill restaurant offers a twist on the basic pho pho-rmula. You can get dried rice noodles or fresh ones, which are wider and chewier, imparting a different texture than the thinner noodles common around town. (If you get fresh, eat them fast, as they will otherwise start to crumble.) Beyond that, the broth is excellent — fresh and onion-y and full of flavor even without the hot sauce or jalapenos. Xom is the sibling restaurant to Ong Lam Bistro in Roosevelt, both of which opened in 2023 and serve the same pho." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle, Jay Friedman
