Phở Gà Vàng is a spacious gem in Chinatown, serving up rich, comforting chicken pho and refreshing iced coffee, perfect for any chilly day.
"Pho Ga Vang, a Vietnamese restaurant with locations in Falls Church, Virginia, as well as Philadelphia and Atlanta, is throwing its hat in the New York ring. The chef and owner opened in Chinatown — the same block as Golden Diner and Vietnamese American bakery, Bánh by Lauren. The Virginia location made Washingtonian’s 100 best restaurants for 2024 list. There are several types of pho here, but of course, you can’t go wrong with the namesake, and the spring rolls are some of the best in town, according to Eater critic Robert Sietsema." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
"Chinatown has a new spot for pho. Phở Gà Vàng is a small chain with locations in Philly, the DC metro area, Atlanta, Vegas, and now, New York. They specialize in chicken pho, but have a pretty big variety, from beef pho to lemongrass grilled chicken-over-rice platters." - will hartman
"A transplant with one other location in Falls Church, Virginia, Phở Gà Vàng is a stripped-down spot with a knack for chicken phò. The Two Bridges dining room is bright and casual as a cafeteria, with a hodgepodge of kitschy, poultry-themed art that pays tribute to the house speciality. Order the traditional chopped chicken pho, and you’ll receive a heap of noodles soaked in a cloudy broth that tastes like pure schmaltz. The gravitational pull of that broth is almost enough to cancel plans over, but most other dishes—like the grilled shrimp over vermicelli noodles—are simply good and satisfying. Use this place for casual group dinners, and keep in mind they occasionally run out of items. Brisket and Diet Coke, for example. photo credit: Bryan Kim Food Rundown photo credit: Bryan Kim Traditional Chopped Chicken Phò There’s nothing complex about this broth. It tastes like exactly one thing: the pure, sweet, and salty essence of long-simmered chicken. The flavor clings to the noodles, and the juicy, bone-in chicken on top adds a little heft to your meal. photo credit: Bryan Kim Shredded Boneless White Meat Chicken Phò Same deal, different chicken on top. Bone-in is better, but you do you. photo credit: Bryan Kim Grill Pork Rice If you’re skipping phò (or supplementing your order), this sweet, charred, and thinly sliced pork is the correct choice." - Bryan Kim
