"Combo Pho When it comes to soul-soothing bowls of pho, Pho House DC is our happy place. With more than 15 combinations on the menu, don’t overthink it—go for the #1. A hearty beef broth is jam-packed with just about everything: juicy well-done beef brisket, melt-in-your-mouth tendon, tripe, and meatballs. It’s a perfect mix of savory and salty. When topped with fresh Thai basil and a hint of sriracha, there's nothing better." - omnia saed

"This relative newcomer in Shaw does the Vietnamese soup justice, each engineered with a deliciously tangy broth. There’s nearly 20 types to choose from, priced around $14 a bowl with all the accoutrements. Try the meaty combo brimming with sliced eye round steak, well-done brisket, soft tendon, meatball and tripe." - Tierney Plumb

With the weather beginning to get colder - what better time to start exploring to find great Pho restaurants in the DMV. My friend and I decided to try Pho House because of its very central location, and also because of its great reviews. Overall, the food was delicious and the we were able to add extra meats and make substitutions to our orders which was great. The broth that I had with my Pho was very well made. The flavours were substantive, as were the meats that were in the dish.

I love their summer rolls but I would never come back here again. They prioritize their online orders so I’m currently waiting an hour for two orders of summer rolls. It takes 5 minutes to make but I’ve waited over 45minutes and counting ! I asked how much longer and she kindly said 10 more minutes or longer ! … I’m tempted to get a refund and leave. But honestly I’ve waited this long I will never come back.

Not a big fan, sorry 😞 Would love to say something different but I wasn’t a huge fan. The meatballs in my Pho were rubbery and I had to order different meat 🥩. Going to have to pass on this one next time.

I was feeling under the weather and really wanted some pho so I did some research and decided on this spot. Upon entering it was completely empty and very dim inside. I stood for a few minutes and started to pace a bit past a doorway that said employees only. I saw a shadow and I assumed they finally noticed there was a customer present, meaning me. A few moments later someone finally comes from the back to greet me and take my to go order. He was very kind and accommodated my request to have the Pho Sate made with chicken only. I also ordered the fried shrimp dumplings which were very delicious and the sauce that came with them was sweet with just the right amount of spice. The pho was great as well and a very good portion size. I will visit again although I wish they were a bit more attentive.

Not terrible, but nothing to write home about. Good place for a quick bite. I'm vegan, so I got the tofu summer rolls and tofu & veggie vermicelli noodle bowl. The noodles were basically a stir fry dish, which was disappointing. I was hoping for a traditional Vietnamese vermicelli bun dish with the cold plain noodles, cold raw veggies, fried tofu, and sauce. The stir fry didn't have any distinguishable Vietnamese flavors like lemongrass, basil, cilantro, mint, etc. I actually liked the summer rolls more because they had basil & mint. The staff are very nice though, so that was good.

Best Pho in the city. Hands down! They deserve the hype. The Pho Sate is always amazing and piping hot even if you order through a delivery service. They package it so it arrives so you can craft it in a bowl and it’s just like eating in. This place is great.

I believe this restaurant is over rated. Prices are great, but the taste is so so for me. The banh mi tasted like something the Subway chain would've made... which is actually shielding they havent yet already. The shrimp spring rolls were ok but just lacked that fresh flavor complexity im used to with Vietnamese food (e.g. lemongrass herb, cilantro, fresh crunchy carrots, vinegar, etc) Service was very friendly and accurate!

The combination pho ($14.75, plus tax) was decent and was brought out quickly. The interior is actually better than what the view from the outside (and through the scuffed up glass door) would suggest.
