After hearing from a friend that this is their favorite pho spot in the DMV, my best friend and I decided to check it out on a chilly day! Because what's better than pho and spring rolls to melt your cold insides?
Spring rolls
We loved the spring rolls. You get two with an order. They had the perfect about of meat and veggie. We really wanted more of them but also didn't want to spoil our appetites before the main event!
Pho
I loved my pho #2, although I wanted more variety of meat. I'll have to try a different one next time! I had it both in-restaurant and to go. I preferred the in-restaurant version. The noodles were more fresh and the broth was rich and flavorful!
The to-go version came out in 3 minutes, which was awesome, but my noodles were all stuck together by the time I got home. I had to literally cut them up with a spoon because chopsticks weren't cutting it.
Service and Ambiance
It was packed on a weeknight around 7pm. Not surprisingly, it was pretty slow to even put our orders in, but we weren't in a rush. One weird thing was that they forgot to get us our lime, sprouts and basil, and we had to ask for napkins and chopsticks/spoons. I assumed it had to do with them being swamped.
Quick service at lunch. I did get my pho in under 5 minutes on a weekend around noon, and it was pretty quiet in there.
Great service- all the servers were polite and helpful. Everything was clean and well-managed.
Final Verdict: it was really good pho, especially the broth, although the noodles were kind of stuck together. I came back, so it's good, but I wouldn't say it's THE best pho I've had.
