Cam Ranh Bay Pho & Grill

Love coming here for dinner. They have a wide selection of Vietnamese, Chinese and Cantonese dishes. Food is always seasoned well and not too salty. Not sure if they use MSG in their food, but I can't taste it. I always get their shrimp with broccoli, fried pork chops, lobster, lo mein, pineapple fried rice. Food comes out from the same kitchen as Gourmet Inspirations, but I think it's a different owner. Highly recommend this place if you need to accommodate a large family party. Plenty of street and there is an open parking lot right next to the Ledos.

We had a very good experience at this restaurant. They are currently only doing carry out. We had the pho and the grilled pork over vermicelli with spring roll. Both dishes were very good. At a time when some of our other favorite restaurants seem to be cutting corners (therefore bringing the quality down), we wanted to try somewhere new. We were happy with our choice.

This is one of the best places for Vietnamese food in the area. First of all, the staff are extremely friendly. The food is to die for. There are so many great dishes to order here. Their meats are amazing.

We had the grilled pork rice dish and bun bo Hue. The food was okay not great. I gave 4 stars because the portion was rather large and prices were reasonable. The restaurant is clean and quite elegant.

Amazing Pho, great service, clean restaurant. Parking sucks but that's MoCo for you. Best Pho I've ever had.

Very delicious food, I ordered the family dinner meal for 2 for $29 and we can't even finish it, very generous potion.

Top notch Pho spot. Service is excellent, friendly always. No kidding always. The soup here is awesome and I’ve gotten Pho all over the world. Very surprised their prices are what they are would definitely spend more there. And it looks and feels clean all he time, check for yourself self.

Great pho, large portions and amazing prices. Even have vegetarian options which are tasty.

The Vietnamese food here is pretty good. I love the fact that if you can have the best of both worlds of Chinese and Vietnamese. They are affiliated with Gourmet Inspirations adjoining them. The 2 wait staff, here always provide excellent service.

This restaurant is joined with another next door. You will notice when you walk inside. Place is big and clean. Service was very quick as well! I placed my order and my food came within a few minutes. I couldn't base my review on pho since I didn't get it but I did get a rice dish and it was delicious!! Pork chop with a crab cake, rice and vegetables !! The pork chop could have been a little bigger and the ratio of rice was a huge portion however it was delicious and I would have loved to order it again. The vegetables were fresh and crisp as well as the fish sauce to accompany the meal. Pay at the front and walk out. Parking is a little short walk but there's a lot of spots available next to the pizza place where the parking lot is located

Love coming here for lunch and dinner.They have a wide selection of Vietnamese, Chinese and Cantonese dishes. Food is always seasoned well and not too salty. Not sure if they use MSG in their food, but I can't taste it. You can't go wrong with their shrimp with walnut , fried pork chops, fried fish, lobster in garlic sauce, lo mein, pineapple fried rice. Viet food wise their soups, shaky beef and wraps are a must try. Food comes out from the same kitchen as Gourmet Inspirations and does not take long at all. Highly recommend this place if you need to accommodate a large family party. Plenty of street and there is an open parking lot right next to the Ledos. Next to Mi La Cay down the street these are the top 2 Vietnamese spots in the area. Glad with the remodel diners can choose dim sum next door or more a hybrid with Viet/ Chinese food here. Prices here are reasonable and they have a nice range of dishes for all types of taste buds. The family style dining menu is great when you want to sample a number of different dishes

This establishment is located next to Gourmet Inspiration. Tons of street parking. Once you walk inside, there are tons of tables available. Also, they have a wide screen tv if you want to watch tv. As other reviewers have noted, their pho broth is very savory compared to other establishments with a sweeter broth. That said, I think their soup is pretty good. We also tried their summer rolls which were given to us cold which is better compared to the sticky warm version. We also ordered their hot vietnamese coffee. Its very strong so maybe you should dilute it with more water. Their prices are reasonable and their staff are friendly. We came there when there was only 1 server so this can be troublesome in the event the place was entirely full. We came over on a late Wednesday evening when there were 2 other tables occupied so it was during a quiet period in the day. Definitely give this place a try. Customer service is good and their foods are good too.

The BEST Lemongrass Tofu dish I have ever consumed. Yelp Luck Club brought us together to sit around the rotating serving glass to enjoy some delicious Vietnamese cuisine & casual family dining atmosphere. 1st, the staff was top notch in accommodating us, not only from the serving aspect, yet to the explanation of the dishes, preparation specifics & the pride they carried in bringing out their signature creations. The array of Appetizers, Pho & Specialty dishes such as the CS3 Cá Kho T aka Spicy Caramel Fish (Catfish) Fillet in a simmering casserole pot, was intriguing to watch everyone pair, share & discuss their palate of consumption. Although I did not consume, I enjoyed eyeing all the dishes as each seemed to be prepared specifically on individuality. Another 'ah ha' moment was watching everyone take part in spinning of the circular Rice paper in hot water, that is used to soften it up before creating their own culinary concoction of selective ingredients, accompanied by a Fish Sauce with slivers of Carrots & Julienned Green Papaya. The adjacent restaurant - Gourmet Inspirations Chinese restaurant, offers authentic Cantonese Cuisine & Dim Su. & if I'm not mistaken, you're able to order off their menu, providing more of a variety to choose from. I shall return for more delicious Lemongrass Tofu & to try a little Pho, as our server assured me that I too could enjoy as some are prepared with Vegetable Stock. Parking is available in the small lot a few steps down from the restaurant, just pay attention to the signage, not the wandering women in the parking lot.

I went here with a group of folks on a weekday evening. I was able to find parking within walking distance (on University Blvd - Lot 33) that was free after 6pm. I had checked the layout of the area before arriving and there are 2 other parking lots that are within walking distance of this restaurant - it is just a matter of looking them up before you get there (Lots 13 and 34). As I walked to this place, I noticed they had 2 entrances. The first one did say Pho and Grill, but no address, while the second entrance showed a big sign of 2646, but said it was a Chinese restaurant so I wasn't really sure as to which entrance to enter. However, once I got inside, I realized that you can walk from one to the other (one side being Pho, while to the other being Chinese). We all sat at a round table = about 7 of us and I saw that there was an item on top of the table that you can spin - great way to share with friends vs having to stand and reach over to hand it to them. We got a bunch of appetizers - I don't remember the names of them. For my meal, I got something under the Egg Noodle / Rice Noodle Soup section. It was item M7 and by name it was Mi Xa Xier, Hoanh Thanh and it is described as Egg noodles with barbeque roast pork and wontons, topped with spring onions. I don't remember seeing any wontons in my soup and I guess I am not used to Egg noodles as it was not soft as I thought all noodles are (lesson learned), but I still enjoyed it. They give you a lot and so I was not able to finish mine plus I also had a glass of coconut juice with coconut meat in it (you don't get a full glass - wish I did). It was nice to try to different items. I will check it out again one day and maybe try their pho instead as I have had pho before (elsewhere).

My favorite meals are ones shared with friends, and so it was that I got to share a huge table with a group of hungry people. We ordered crispy spring rolls, fresh summer rolls, salt and peppered chicken wings, and a dish which allowed us to create our own rolls. A few of us then tucked in to large bowls of phò while others jumped into lovely bits of lemongrass tofu or stewed fish. We were all very happy with our individual dishes, but the shared appetizers were honestly the highlight of our meal. I especially enjoyed seeing what my friends chose to include in their fresh rolls. A second visit brought us here just as the dim sum crowd spilled over from Gourmet Inspirations, which shares its kitchen with this restaurant. This was wonderful, as it allowed me to snag some tasty dishes as they trundled through the dining area. I appreciate that they allow customers to order from either menu, and was happy that I'd arrived just before the crowd. I'm looking forward to returning. The staff was quick to answer questions and to make suggestions for my friends with dietary restrictions. Always appreciated, as it means I can bring my friends without wondering what they might eat. Plenty of options for everyone here!

This Viet joint is attached to and owned by the same people who run Gourmet Inspirations. They share the same parking lot which is super small and made for double parking (so you might get blocked in). That said, I recommend just parking on the street or in the lot. I think the pho is just alright. I would honestly pass up this joint entirely and go to Mi La Cay or Pho Hiep Hoa instead. I do recommend trying out Gourmet Inspirations restaurant for good Chinese food though. Service is excellent!

Another great local Vietnamese restaurant! The Ca Kho To is absolutely to die for and a go to dish to get every time we go here.

Large group catering for dinner during COVID--so we went with the family meals for 4 and ordered 3 of them. Really nice that we were able to make some substitutions so there was a little more variety in the food. Even the meat eaters said the tofu was good and I think the caramelized fish surprised everyone by just how tasty it was--no fishy aftertaste or anything! We order carryout from grubhub, and the only disappointment was that our rice was left off of the order. When I called and mentioned this, they were more than happy to drop the rice off since we were so close to the restaurant, and threw in some little cookies as an extra! Wish there were more food combinations that could go into the family meals, but enjoyed it all nonetheless--we were able to feed 13 people with plenty of leftovers!

We've been a little disappointed in our go-to pho place recently so decided to try Cam Ranh Bay. Also husband has been looking for a place to get Caramel Fish (Ca KhoTo) in Wheaton/Silver Spring. We did carry-out and husband picked up our order. He said that there was pretty much no ambiance in the restaurant but the staff was very warm and friendly. More important than the décor was the food. I really liked my chicken pho. It was rich and flavorful. I could taste the star anise but it wasn't overwhelming. And I didn't have to doctor my broth up at all. Also the sliced chicken was good with no gristle. And my husband loved his Caramel Fish. Since it's normally served in a hot pot we were a little concerned about how it would be as a carry-out. I put it in a ceramic "onion soup" bowl and the report was that it was delicious. This will definitely be our new go-to place for pho and the hot pot. In fact writing this review I decided to freeze the dinner I had planned for tonight and get carry-out!

Parking can be difficult if you don't get here early. There is a public metered parking lot next to Ledo's Pizza that is easily accessible. There is also parking across the street at Bank of America. Remember that all parking is Free in Sunday's. It is connected to Gourmet Inspirations which does cart dim sum on the weekends. As a result, if you want both Vietnamese and dim sum go to the viet side. The carts come over! This is the only place I've ever been to that can let you order both. Drawback is that there may be too many options and your party will end up ordering way too much food and confused as to what to eat. Best dishes: Chim Cut (quail), Mi Vit Tiem (egg noodle soup with duck), Bo Luc Lac (sautéed beef cubes) The pad thai had really large shrimp. It was also refreshing to get pickled veggies as accompaniments with everything. Bun Bo Hue comes with a large pork knuckle and coagulated pork blood. Misses: Ca Kho To (caramel fish) should have had a little more sauce and spice to it. The special Bun Mum was noodle soup with roasted pork, eggplant, and two little fishes. This dish I have had in philly and it did not have roast pork it had tons of seafood and slices of fatty pork belly. Philly did this special better.

This place has high reviews for a reason. It may look like a hole in the wall but it's a hidden gem. Their pho is great and has a nice rich, savory broth but their vermicelli bowls are usually my go to. The grilled chicken lemongrass (bún gà nng sa ) and beef (bò nng xa ) are absolutely delicious. We've also had various appetizers such as their summer rolls and spring rolls and they are also quite good. Prices are very reasonable for the area and delivery is always on time or faster than expected.

I ordered B2 Bún Ba Món: Vermicelli with grilled shrimp, chicken and pork. The meats looked very flavorful, but wasn't. What a shame. Overall, the dish was bland and mediocre. Even with the fish sauce, it needed more flavor. And for the price, the portion was rather small. I wouldn't have gotten full on the dish alone (luckily I ordered spring rolls). My sister ordered one of the specials (some sauteed steak & onion dish with rice). That was pretty good, but isn't a "normal" Vietnamese dish (more like a Chinese-style Pepper Steak). I wish I had tried the pho. I had just eaten pho the day before, so wanted something else. I should've known better. I'd go back to Cam Ranh Bay to try the pho, but the annoying parking situation will likely keep me away...

I've been back a few times since my first visit and tried a couple new things I wanted to add. Shrimp Summer Rolls - No Pork. Mixed Vegetable Pho The summer rolls are the perfect fresh, soft and chewy texture. And the ingredients are fresh! The mixed vegetable pho was good. But it wasn't really pho. The broth was more like their egg noodle soups, with the fried garlic and onion on top. It was tasty but not exactly what I wanted. Service is always good. Prices are reasonable and standard.

My favorite Vietnamese spot in Wheaton, MD. My family loves to eat here. The host is always so nice and the owner always checks in with our family. Food is very authentic. I love their party platter because with a family of 6, were always stuffed with tons of food leftover to take home. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone I know looking to eat Quality Vietnamese food.

Food is great. Always prepared quickly. Great for carry out. Tons of options. My only note or modification is they give lemon instead of lime.

The Pho, so yummy, but the egg rolls are out of this F'ng world! We order extra to take home!

I gotta be honest. I truly was not expecting much out of the little Vietnamese hole in the wall next to Gourmet Inspirations. I hate to say it, but the place almost seems like an afterthought. I've been into Gourmet Inspirations a couple of times. It's wide and expansive with massive pieces of art work hanging on the wall, bright colored lights, small but elegant chandeliers that centered in large ceiling recesses throughout the space. And the food... well the dim sum is pretty ok. Not very impressed, although we did have a whole fish dish there with lemongrass that was excellent. The accompanying sister restaurant (Cam Ranh Bay Pho & Grill), that is connected at the hip, most literally; and has food coming from the same kitchen. It's a little bit understated. Yes, large pieces of artwork hang on the wall, but everything seems just a little more casual. Everything seems a little less refined. I can tell you from my two recent experiences though. That is the side to be in! The Tôm Nng shrimp appetizer is perfectly grilled bright yellow shrimp that are finished with a sprinkling of fried shallots and scallions, served on a bed of lettuce. The Bánh Hi Ba Món (Nem Nng, Tht Nng, Cho Tôm) is described as "Three kinds of meat - Grilled meatballs, grilled pork, grilled shrimp paste on sugarcane. Served with fine vermicelli, lettuce, mint leaves, and peanut sauce on the side" But this, like the restaurants interior is understated as well. The grilled meatballs are bright reddish sienna oblong lumps of meat that are served on short skewers. They seem somewhat related to the popular Filipino sausage longaniza. The grilled pork is shiny lacquered meat with a sweet charred sauce and the grilled shrimp paste on sugarcane well, it's a fairly large piece of sugarcane and the wrap covers most of it. The best thing about this dish is that it's served with Rice paper and hot water so that you can roll your own summer rolls at the table. A veritable vietnamese fajita platter that is served (as the shrimp is) with a fish sauce dipping sauce with julienned green papaya and carrot. I've also had the fortune of having an egg noodle soup dish with pork wontons that seems to be missing from the online menu. The soup's depth of flavor was surprising. Everything comes out so quick that I'm just left asking myself... how? How in the world does this small restaurant, that has not been busy each time I've been, sustain such a large menu full of winning dishes. And how are those dishes brought to me so perfectly with such a short waiting period. Whatever the answer is... I just hope Cam Ranh Bay can keep doing it. I can tell you that I will be back frequently to make sure of just that.

I used to come to this place often and I do enjoy the food. But tonight was ridiculous. I stepped in to grab a quick bite. Mid way through my meal I noticed what seemed like a hair attached to one of the tendons. I removed it and showed the waitress. She took it and showed the manager or maybe the owner not sure. The owner comes to me and told me it was the root of the bean sprout and that it wasn't a hair. I DID NOT put any bean sprout in my pho. Just jalapeno, pepper and lime. He kept trying to convince me that it was the tail of the bean sprout which I know for a fact it wasn't. He just told me quietly if I didn't believe him I didn't have to pay and just walked away. I gather my things pull out my wallet to leave a tip for the waitress, it wasn't her fault that this interchange is going on, and this manager comes back and told me and my girlfriend to get out. I just put on my jacket and left. The reason for the 2 stars is because the food is decent but I have never been disrespected like that and probably won't return. The food was not good enough to over look that level of disrespect.

Everyone knows I love pho so when I went back home, I had to get some. There wasn't much time before my flight so we stopped by the closest place we could find. Fortunately, this spot was pretty good! I would call this pho the standard run-of-the-mill pho. You won't have a life-altering event while eating this but you also won't be disappointed. The sub-$10 price tag also helps justify eating this pho on a regular basis. Definitely a good hangover pho :)

This used to be my go to place for Vietnamese food... But lately, I don't know what is happening, but the food is mediocre at best, the service is not even that, and I'm afraid I can't give a good review here. I think I will just leave it at that... mainly because, my mother always said, "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything."

Generally new to the area and I wanted to just give it a try. Turns out, it might be my least favorite Vietnamese restaurant in America...if that. Had 4 different dishes, but all of them came out to be sub par, especially when it was mixed with the taste of Chinese food and method of cooking. From Bun Bo, Com Tam, Cha Gio, etc. all tasted very generic. My mom and I brought her friends to the restaurant since they have heard good things about it, but all of us left the restaurant very disappointed and were not pleased at all. The service would consider to be ok since the waitress were very responsive and quick to get your order. If you are looking for a good Vietnamese meal, then I would never recommend! But otherwise, your choice since everyone might have different opinions.

I ordered the pad thai and it was really good! Pretty good customer service, the owner came to check on everyone to make sure they were ok

If anyone remembers Good Fortune, this is where Cam Ranh Bay is located! It's split between a dim sum food place and right next door it's right there. I keep forgetting about this place. Parking is very limited in the front. There is a metered parking to the left side of it (next to a pool hall/pizza place). It's free on the weekends. If that is packed too, I would suggest parking across the street. The building is literally on the street of University Blvd. It was pretty empty on the pho and grill side. We got seated right away and were given our water and menu's at the same time. My friend and I ordered the BBH (Bon bue hue soup) and Cam Ranh Soup (I'm pretty sure its M1 on the menu) and vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Perfect cold winter weather soup options! As we were sitting,the dim sum side was so packed that they came over to the pho and grill side and was serving dim sum (I believe the owner owns both sides so thats why they were able to come over). It got super crowded. They asked us if we wanted any dim sum (so I wonder if you can order dim sum on the viet restaurant side, I bet you can ask). The vietnamese coffee with condensed milk was too sweet. I would recommend requesting less condensed milk. I had to add water in mine for the sweetness to settle down, but even that didn't really work. Our soup bowls came - pretty big in size (check pictures). The BBH was pretty good. It wasn't too spicy (which I had requested). I didn't feel like I was tasting a whole lot of MSG. It was settling with enough of that BBH flavoring. The noodles were soft enough and the meat was tasty. The M1 soup has a tomato soup based with a little spicy/sour kick to it. My friend said it wasn't bad at all (I only tried the soup). I liked my BBH better :) I'd come back and try their other items on the menu. They have a lot of selections to choose from.

Had came here after my daughter's gymnastics practice she loves noodle soup so we yelp pho restaurants in silver springs. So glad we came because my 7 year old was very pleased how the pho tasted. She knows a good broth for sure. We got beef noodle soup, bun bo hue, spring rolls, and fried egg rolls. Everything was delish! Can't wait to go back.

Oh my gaaaaaaaaaawd. When my friend first told me she wanted to get pho in silver springs my first thought was "Noooooo...ITS SO FAR! Can i survive this 30ish minute ride to Silver Springs from DC?" And you know what...I am so happy i said "Let's go." This place is awesome! I rarely go for appetizers, a main dish, and dessert at restaurants because i usually get full with just my main course. But this place stole my heart and i just had to try everything! I order Thai ice tea, with pork rolls, and your regular beef pho. My friend ordered the vietnamese ice coffee, spring rolls, and chicken pho. Everything was delicious- from the peanut dipping sauce and its perfect peanut flavor to the well balance of flavors in my thai tea, I was sold. For $7.95 (?errr i forgot exactly how much it was but it was definitely under$8) you can get a large (or should i say huuuuuuuge) bowl of pho. After everything I wasn't expecting to get dessert. Haha yeah right... as the saying goes..there's always room for dessert. No shame. Sorry i don't actually remember the name of the dessert. I just remember the ingredients: jellies, coconut milk, and red bean. Kind of like Che thai. I actually took it to go and ate it on the car ride back to DC. If you are ever in the area, you should definitely drop by. We had great service! :D

Once upon a time, Vonnie wanted some Pho, some really good Pho. She decided to go to the place that had the best Yelp review, and she ended up at Cam Ranh Bay Pho and Grill and the rest is her review. I have had Pho at a number of places and have found that all Pho is not created equal. You have good Pho and bad Pho :(. I don't only look to a nice savory broth, but I also look forward to a flavorful fresh summer roll packed with basil and a crispy roll with a side of fish and peanut butter sauce. Now if you can combine all of the above with good service and nice atmosphere then I will pledge my Pho allegiance to you. I live in Oxonhill, Md so normally I go over the Woodrow Wilson bridge for Pho, however I think this will be my north of the river Pho place. We all know that in the DC metro area, that parking is factored in to every thing we do. This place has has a very small parking lot in the front of the building, but then there is a public parking lot a hope skip and a jump from the building. Also if you don't look hard enough you will miss the place. It is located a few doors down from Ledos' and a Billiard hall. When you see the Chinese restaurant then know you have made it. The restaurant is somewhat plan when looking at it from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. When I came in the first thing I noticed was the big screen TV, nice when dining alone. The place is very spacious, clean and well lite. We were seated promptly and given menus and water. I liked the menu, because of the colorful food photos (yes of course I can read). Sometime it is just not enough to see the items written, but a photo is nice, especially if you are not familiar with Vietnamese food. We ordered large bowls of Chicken Pho and Brisket Pho. To start the dining experience we had summer rolls,crispy rolls and salty fried chicken wings yum, yum. All except the summer roll came out steaming hot about 15 min after ordering. The summer rolls were sooo fresh. The Pho came out steaming hot right after we finished the appetizers. At first sight I thought oh not to much meat? but once I added the basil and bean sprouts I found out there was a lot! of brisket at the bottom. The broth was nice flavorful and smooth. The staff was very attentive, whenever water needed to be filled I never had to ask. Also when the server saw my left overs she right away got the to go boxes. At the end of the meal we were given Chinese fortune cookies and an almond cookie, I must say the almond cookie was tasty. How could I not give this place a five. Pho sure this is the best Pho place Until next time Vonnie

My husband and I went here for dinner on Friday and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The menu is EXTENSIVE and I honestly want to try everything on it. Also, the service was phenomenal, everyone was very polite and it seems like they take a team approach. We got: - Wings (I can't remember what they were called but they weren't the salt and pepper ones): The wings were smoky and were served with delicious sautéed onions and picked carrots. I was shocked at how many wings we got for the price. - Papaya Salad: Fresh, bright, and crisp. This was not a very spicy papaya salad but the flavor and freshness was on point. This was the most expensive item we ordered, which surprised me. - Egg noodle soup: I believe I ordered the M7. It was AMAZING. There were a lot of wontons and the broth was delicious. I also really like that they serve these soups with the same set up (basil, sprouts, jalapeño, etc.) as the pho. - Pho: My husband ordered the pho which I didn't try. He ordered the small and it was still HUGE. It was the same size as my M7. He says that there was a generous amount of meat and the broth was on the sweet side.

The food here was decent - large portions, and the food had good flavor. We got the pho and a duck noodle soup. I liked both soups - they had a nice meat base and a good balance of herbs. Both the pho and the duck soup came with a decent amount of meat and noodles. What I thought was interesting is that the place is attached to the dim sum place next door, which seemed to have a long waiting line. We didn't have to wait to get seated at this place though, and the dim sum carts came over to this place as well, so I was given the option of ordering the dim sum. Though we didn't end up ordering any dim sum items, I may come back and try it out. The service was fast, though I did feel a bit rushed. The space was also a bit cramped because they put a lot of tables into the room.

I have known this restaurant since it just had grand opening. Even though I am living in VA, I usually drive 45 mins to this delicious restaurant to eat CT9 ( chicken rice with ginger fish sauce). That is so so yummy. You have to try this.

I'll start off by admiting I'm a pho crackhead. This pho is made with NO MSG!!!! Has a great flavor, you can actually taste the beef in the broth. Spoke with the chef he uses over 100lbs of meat and bones for the broth. This place is much better than Mi La Cay, broth is more savory than sweet. Quail & egg rolls are good as well. Update...I've brought a few people here since my original post and they love it. My dad says it's the best pho he's ever had!

Average quality Vietnamese food. Everything was good, but nothing wow-ed me. Vietnamese iced coffee- thought it was good, but more than half the cup was ice. 3/5 4 Rolls - nice to have a sampler of the rolls they have. The fried was the best, the rest were mediocre 4/5 Shrimp, Shredded Pork, grilled pork rice plate - this plate was alright. grill pork was well cooked, but they did not give me enough fish sauce to add to my rice. 3.5/5 Service was subpar, probably inexperienced since it's a new restaurant. Two friends ordered different bun dishes, they bring out two bowls that look exactly the same, but claimed they were different. In the end, they realized they were wrong and brought out the correct dish. 3/5 Again, food was satisfactory, but not much here would entice me to come back

Came here for the first time today for lunch. I just noticed it on Yelp when I was looking for some vietnamese food. I usually go to Mi La Cay if I do not want to drive far (Eden Center) for some good vietnamese food, but I figured why not try this place out today. So the place is pretty much an extension of the Gourmet Inspirations chinese food restaurant. You will have to park at the public parking lot 33 right by the restaurant (with meters). The place was empty when I arrived for lunch around 1130am. I was greeted by a nice server and promptly seated. The menu items were all in vietnamese which was a sign to me that they have a vietnamese chef or maybe cowner? Anyways, I ordered the large Pho dac biet, and the bun thit nuong. I Based on the former reviews, I wanted to try out their pho broth, and its meat items, as well as their grilled pork. Food came out fairly quickly. The pho came with jalapenos, a slice of lime, basil and bean sprouts for garnish. The bowl was pretty big, so I knew that I was going to be full regardless of how the food tasted. Firstly, the broth was ok/mediocre at best. The brisket was way too well done, quite tough and chewy for my liking. The "rare" steak was well done by the time I could find it somewhere at the bottom of the bowl. Pho noodles were ok. Overall, I'd go to Mi La Cay for my pho dac biet down the road. The price is a bit cheaper here. The thit nuong with the vermicelli was also ok. Meat wasnt too dry or well done. It had some tenderness and good flavors to it. Again, nothing too remarkable for my taste. Overall impression. Location is kinda out of site overshadowed by the huge gourmet inspirations restaurant, but its right next to it so just look for the Gourmet sign. Parking is a pain because the lot is usually full during busy hours and costs money to park. The service was good, no complaints. Very nice server. The food was mediocre at best for vietnamese food (since I only had the pho and bun thit nuong, I can't say for the rest of the menu items). Glad I tried it out, but I probably will not return. Maybe I'll try out the chinese place next door instead next time.

2.5 stars. Maybe because I used to live in LA and NY. In Rockville, the pho is just very soso compared to pho in other area in the U.S. The soup tastes very dull, kind of the powder mixing water taste.

The pho is what I get here. The people are nice and the pho is good. The dirty condiment bottles gave me pause.

This place has some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. The service is really good, and everything is reasonably priced. The Spring rolls were amazing, the PHO was so good, and the garlic steak was money in the bank. HIGHLY recommend, this place should be rated 5 stars all day!

I am a disappointed with my take out order today for the following reasons: 1. No napkins 2. No utensils 3. No hot or side sauce for my soup 4. The price of the soup dish is not worth $9.95 5, The soup is bland Unfortunately, I will no longer order from this restaurant anymore.

Great place... parking not. But oh sooooooo good. The vermicelli noodle with chicken was phenomenal.. I haven't had this in years and so good!! Worth it

Delicious food and definitely worth the price! Traveled down to Silver Spring to find a cute updated quiet place. Food is served at a fast pace, and shares many flavors! I would totally come back here to get their Thai Ice Tea, that was probably my favorite thai ice i have ever tried in a while!

I absolutely love this place. Food always fresh made to order. Staff Is friendly. The variety is great and it's nice to have a place to go that is different than what you find on every corner in Wheaton.

I ordered the Beef Pho. I will start with the good my take out food was ready when I got there and didn't have to wait. The staff were very friendly and the prices are very fair, the Thai basil was very fresh. The downside was the broth was pretty bland, the quality of the meat was really poor, and everything was very greasy. There are so many other amazing Pho places around the area. Save your money.

Been a few times and always been satisfied. This last time shared 3 dishes with 3 friends for lunch and it was just enough. We tried the bo luc lac (shaky beef), lemongrass tofu, and stirfried noodles with shrimp, chicken and beef. All of them were tasty and not heavy or too oily. They share a kitchen with Gourmet Inspirations. Parking lot on the same block down. Service is fine.

Attentive waitstaff. Clean. And most importantly consistently excellent on the fairly extensive menu.

Yum, this is delicious Vietnamese food at value. We had family dinner for 2 with lemongrass chicken _ very good, caramel fish _ drooling and tamarind soup for a great price. The pho is also excellent with a deep broth. Come here to eat. Vietnamese food is tasty, appetizing and light. This place lives up to high standards!

Really enjoyed the food here. We got salt and pepper wings and bo luc lac. The salt and pepper wings were amazing! Hands down the best I've ever had. They did not hold back on the seasoning and the jalapeños complimented it well. The luc lac was pretty standard, decent cut of steak with very little lime dressing (I asked for more). Service was good. The staff were nice and attentive. Refilled our drinks when needed. I would definitely come back. And I'm glad that I have more options here in the Wheaton area when it comes to Vietnamese food.

All gish special. Fry fish, caramel fish and sweet and sour fiah aoup. Crazy good. You can also other stuff from the chinese restaurant next door since they share the same owner. Great spot for lunch.

Okay. I want to say I ate lunch here today but that would be a lie since this experience ended with me grabbing a Happy Meal on the way back to the office. We walked in and the decor was lovely (see my check-ins) ordered a a Sprite and then things went downhill. I am an immigrant, even when folks have an accent that is hard to understand I make the effort to be patient and try to bridge the communication gap but my waitress didn't understand a thing I was saying. Every time I asked a question she kept saying she was new and then got another person to answer my question. I only asked two questions. I ordered summer rolls and asked what kind of sauce came with it. She was new so... The summer rolls were blah, the peanut sauce (mystery solved) was bland. I was hungry so I went ahead and ordered the Pho but only after I got the "I'm new" spiel when I asked if the broth was beef or pork based. The broth tasted like salty water, the noodles were overcooked and despite my ordering the tai, two bites in I got some mystery pieces of what seemed like skin. I didn't even both to ask the "new" girl what was up. I set my food to the side and enjoyed the only thing that was right about my meal, the Sprite I wasn't supposed to be having because I am off soda. To be fair, my lunch companion enjoyed her meal (not the Pho), which I am happy about because it was her first time having Vietnamese food and I would have hated for her to be turned off by an experience similar to mine. There is another place nearby that is much better so I will stick to going there when I am in that neighborhood.

I just moved back to the area and am living in Wheaton for the next couple of months. I know there are a couple of pho places in the area, but Cam Ranh Bay is probably my favorite of the bunch so far! I've done take-out a few times, and it's always empty when I come in to get my food, which is really surprising. They are connected to a Chinese place which I think is owned by the same people, because I've seen staff moving between the two restaurants. The staff is always super friendly, and service is pretty quick too. I've only ordered the summer rolls, spring rolls, and pho so far, and all are delicious! The pho especially is really flavorful and always hits the spot. In fact, I might go there for dinner tonight!
