Pho Tan Vinh

The pho is okay, nothing special. The service was not good—an older man was rude and did not speak politely to me as a customer. They charged extra for a bag and to-go box without informing me beforehand. Also, the prices charged were different from what was listed on the menu. Overall, not a great experience.

The atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. The service was great. We enjoyed our meals. The restaurant was very clean when we visited. I would definitely eat there again.

Pho & green tea was excellent... perfect for a winter evening. The broth was spectacular! I'll def be back.

“The special Bò Né at Pho Tân Vinh is amazing! 🥖🍳 The bread is soft, the beef is flavorful, and every bite is delicious 😋🔥”

If you're in the Silver Spring area, definitely check out Pho Tan Vinh! The food is top-notch, with delicious and flavorful pho that hits the spot every time. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall great experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal. Whether you're a pho lover or just looking for something tasty, this place won’t disappoint.

I’m a pho enthusiast and sometimes it’s challenging to find a spot that makes authentic pho. The soup was GREAT, the only think I didn’t like is how they separated that one dish into multiple. You can’t really combined the meats, I think that should be fine if the person is willing to pay extra. I have the beef pho with tripes and beef meatballs. I loved it, I will definitely go there again! 😋

My go to Pho spot in Silver Spring. My daughter and I love this location everytime we visit. The service is always great. Very pleasant staff. Great vegetarian options as well.

We loved this little casual restaurant in our neighborhood. Our first time here and I won’t be the last. Very comfortable with great art on the walls. Quick service and the food was delicious. Go there is you like Pho and other Vietnamese dishes!

The bad reviews really seem like fluke experiences people had. we've had 0 major issues. Just remember to wait to be seated. My small nitpicks are at the end. Solid 3.75 stars. Don't let the negative comments fool you, this place is nice. It's a good simple place for dinner. Service is prompt and attentive and the Pho an Bahn Mi are tasty as are the starters. We recommend the pork and Beef bahn mi and the Fish cake (which is kind of like a patty of sorts. It's hard to describe but tasty) and any seasonal roll. The meat on our bahn Mis on Friday was perfect, and I loved the slightly smoky flavor. The Winter Roll appetizer needed a little punch of something inside, but the sauces all helped (you get sriracha, a "seasoning sauce" that's basically soy sauce, and another at the table). It was still really nice. When we came a few months ago, we loved the Pho as well. My little nitpick across the two visits is that sometimes the service dips a smidge in promptness. It's still very attentive and kind, but keep that in mind. You'll still get whatever you need in sufficient time. It's just not the kind of bustling place where servers are constantly milling about.

I called in a vegetarian PHO without Tofu at 6:25 pm. When I arrived 10 minutes later it wasn't ready. I walked to my car that was parked illegally only to realize my broth wasn't hot. I went back and requested someone in leadership. A lady came from the back and said we were busy, we are sorry, etc. I also asked why the broth wasn't hot and she said the lid expands. We'll get different lids or wrap it in plastic wrap! I was charged a bag fee and a container fee. Great customer service would have been a discount or a refund. Additionally, the menu prices need to be updated. All the photos are attached to reflect my review and experience. I am a Chef with a degree in culinary arts. The customer is "ALWAYS" right. Excuses only satisfy those who make them. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN IN LIFE.

I came for a mommy daughter date Friday 3/1 and was EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. 1.I stood at the front for 6 minutes before anyone said one words to me 2.I specifically asked to be seated at a booth (which they were cleaning at the time ) and the hostess then says follow me AND PROCEEDS TO WALK TO THE KITCHEN without even showing us to our table 3.we sat for another few minutes no one said a single word or bought water for the table 4. Once I saw that the booth was available we got up (from the table we just assumed we were supposed to sit )and this is the first time any staff ever addressed us to tell us we could not sit there after a party of 2 came in and sat at the other available booth. I was flabbergasted and felt like they genuinely did not want me to dine at their establishment so we left to take our business elsewhere 10/10 would not recommend

The food here is something to RAVE about! The pho broth here was so good, some places don't have great broth but I would not say that about Pho Tan Vinh! The customer service here was also so kind and quick! I would definitely recommend this place if you're stopping in for concert or just in town or live in town!

Staff and service were on point but the food is mediocre. The price didn't reflect the quality of the food. I rather venture to Eden Center or Four Sisters.

The pho here is very good, especially on a cold winter day. The broth is very flavorful and meat fresh. The service was wonderful and let me order while my friend was still in her way. Inside, there is bright lighting and much seating and wasn't too packed when I went.

Got an Uber eats delivery from here. Ordered the pho nam. My sprouts were rancid. They were leaking and discolored. Very dangerous for consumption if we didn't check the food first. My husband and I could've gotten very ill.

Used to come here in high school as it is in walking distance from the Metro and what used to be City Place mall. I ordered the chicken pho and the crispy spring rolls. The broth was amazing for the flavor and I added Sriracha and Hoisin sauce to perfect it. I usually get to go boxes but nope I finished it all. It's really still as good as it was in high school. The staff was nice and attentive. It was quiet when we went on an early Tuesday evening.

Good local spot in silver spring when you got a pho craving. Ordered take out here but the inside looks nice and spacious with plenty of seating. Can't speak to the wait staff but when I called in my order it was super easy. Save money!: I prefer to call and order directly to support small businesses instead of all those apps which charge more with fees. Food was ready within 20 mins as they said. Parking was easy in front to hop in and out with my food. Ordered spring rolls, pho, and a banh mi sandwich. Spring rolls were decent size and crispy. Pho was ok. Meat tender and the noodles and sides as expected, the soup is decent. The banh mi was a good size as well as the baguette was crispy and chewy. Overall thought this place was a solid average option for pho.

Ordered the veggie pho. Broth had no spice flavor and the fried tofu was rather hard. They only had one person servicing all the tables. Also, $8.50 for veg summer rollers was rather steep compared with most places. On the plus side, the decor was bright and modern.

Great place with easy pickup (orders are ready fast) and the pho is good. Easy delivery as well.

After arriving in Silver Spring from DC, I dropped my suitcases off at the hotel just down the street and stopped here for a bite to eat. At the time I arrived, I was the only one in the dining room. By the time I got my food, three more tables had been filled with diners. Quite a few people picked orders as well. The shrimp soup was very good and flavorful. I do wish they had cleaned the shrimp a little better. But the broth was flavorful and delightful. Those summer rolls were bomb! Bursting with veggies and flavor. Not pictured, I did have a strawberry smoothie. The menu offered boba, but unfortunately they were out that day. Overall a chill atmosphere. There was a tv in the corner playing a Spanish-speaking comedy; I found it pretty funny. The service was quick and friendly. They do have a full bar, which appears to be open all day.

This was my first Bahn Mi sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The beef was grilled perfectly and the sweetness of the pickled carrots and onions went great with the kick of the sliced jalapeños. Also dining in was great. Service was very pleasant. There was even a birthday party going on in there.

This is a good Vietnamese place. I have been here twice and last came with my wife in December. My wife and I had a large Pho Tai, Nam, Gan, Sach, Ribeye Rolls, and a Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling. We had leftovers and they charge for take home containers. The service was good but the only reason to dock a star is the Ribeye Rolls listed "grilled" but forgot to say peanuts and I'm allergic to peanuts so they made us another one and charged us for both. Also, we happen to like Lotus Cafe down Georgia a bit better.

Got the pho ga (chicken pho) and even the small was more than I could eat for lunch. Nice casual lunch place, and the staff were very friendly! I would return.

Pros: Broth is good Cons: Many I ordered Pho Ga today for delivery and was unpleasantly surprised to find that there was no sriracha, utensils, an *appropriate* straw for my Thai iced tea and I was given a bag of something I specifically asked to exclude. I was able to find a fork at work so I could pierce the plastic on my tea (as the regular straw provided would not work) and eat my soup. I had to pick out quite a few wilted leaves which I could deal with, but what was actually the dealbreaker was the chicken. It was rubbery and not at all edible. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it was disgusting and what I didn't spit out after attempting to chew, went into the garbage. This was my first time ordering from here and will definitely be my last. If I can offer any constructive criticism, I'd say they really need to focus on serving edible chicken, providing necessary implements to consume the food (at the very least a boba straw as you cannot access the drinks with a standard straw), fresh ingredients and standard condiments. Out of decency, I am not including pictures of the chewed up chicken.

Went in for a quick bite. It's a neighborhood spot that I'm glad to see is still there. The decor could use an update, but the food is as good as I remember it to be.

This place is hands down the best Pho and my go to place in Silver Spring area. I always get the Pho Ga (chicken). The broth is very light and tasty but what makes it the best is that the chicken is tender. It cooked well enough not to get that strong chicken smell but overcooked to make it rubbery. Also recommend their summer rolls(A fresh garden roll with shrimp, basil leaves, rice vermicelli noodles wrapped in rice paper). It is served with their special peanut dipping which is really amazing. The place is pleasant (noise level is low). Service is fast. Pho comes within a 5 minutes if not crowded. They dont offer physical menus any more. There is a QR code you can scan to see the menu but you a waiter comes to take your order. One thing lacking though is a great cocktail menu. They have Vietnamese iced coffee. It is sweeter than your regular Thai ice coffee. They use sweetened condensed milk. Just something to note.

I'm not the type of person who writes a lot of reviews but as a vegan I feel like I gotta look out for other plant based folk The pho was super duper expensive but I thought I would try it out since it is the closest pho place to me. What a mistake! I spent wayyyy too much for their veggie pho only for it to have sour tofu and nearly spoiled vegetables. The cabbage had spots all over it and the broccoli was brown. I'm giving two stars because it wasn't inedible, but it was a complete waste of money. Avoid this place if possible!

I would rate 0 stars if I could. I Found a hair in my soup and the worker yelled at us and kicked us out the restaurant. I asked her to simply remake the soup but she refused and told us to leave the restaurant.

Pho was amazing, service was awesome and the ambiance was different. Its a more up to date photo spot. I like that they have a qr to scan for their menu which is new(for asian spots) and awesome.

I've been eating there for 7 years since we moved to downtown SS. There have been recent staff changes and yes, the pho broth has also changed. The new broth was a bit too sweet for me at first, but on my most recent visit, it was not too sweet. The new broth also has more beefy/fatty taste than the previous version, which I appreciate.

Unsure of what happened to this place, but the quality has changed. Tried them the first time and ranked them as #1 compared to the 3 other pho places I've tried, great food and great customer service. Ordered them from Uber eats the next 2 times and the pho was lacking quality and they didn't provide utensils even though I requested them, went back 2 weeks ago this time is person, customer service still was great, pho was bland very bland and only received 1 packet of pho and brown sauce even though I ordered 2 large orders. Unsure if I will be back.

When the sprouts, basil, and jalapenos were brought to the table, I wasn't hungry for Pho anymore. The sprouts were brown and old.

Overall, 3.5/5 but will round it up to a 4/5 because the pricing is decent and that initial spoonful of noodles and hot broth really hit the spot. This is a convenient location for dinner if you're about to go to an event at the Fillmore. Fortunately, it wasn't too packed when my friend and I arrived for dinner today around 5:15 PM. It seemed like pho was the most popular entree, so we knew we had to try it here! One thing we noticed when the plate of beansprouts (+ other garnishes) came out was that they give you lemons instead of limes, hm. PHO TAI, NAM, GAN, SAC (LG.) - 12.95 If you're hungry, definitely get the large size. I felt like it's worth the $1 upgrade for a bit more noodles/soup. The pho came out piping hot which was perfect. The broth was steamy which cooked the medium rare eye round beef cut. After dumping a bunch of beansprouts in my bowl, I was ready to feast. The first sip of broth along with some noodles was amazing. It really hit the spot since the temperature was right and the broth was flavorful. The cut of meats were a bit thick, but whatever - the quality was good. However, as I continued to eat, I could feel my mouth drying up (which is how I measure the amount of MSG or salt in my food). The broth does have good beef flavor, but I also think there's more MSG than I'd prefer. The noodles were perfect in terms of texture. It's not soggy or overly starchy, a bit al dente with a slight chew, which is my preference. I also think there wasn't a lot of meat - maybe 4-5 pieces total of eye round and brisket, 1 piece of tripe, and 2-3 small chunks of tendon. Most of my bites were just noodles and broth since I had to portion out the meat for every fourth or fifth bite or something. Since I live pretty far from Silver Spring and don't see myself coming back very often, I'd probably try other restaurants in the area next time. If I did live close by, I could see myself coming back here and there for a nice hot bowl of pho (it really, really hit the spot in the beginning) and try their summer rolls (Goi Cuon) which seem to be really popular here!

Ok, so it's kind of between a 3.5-4 star for me Flavor was decent, but the veggie freshness just wasn't there. I was expecting nice crisp lettuce and an abundance of crunchy pickled vegetables. In this case, the lettuce was very limp, and the veggies we just bland and kind of soft. Bun Ga Nuong is one of my all time favorite dishes and I was spoiled to have an AWESOME go-to spot in my previous city, so I own the fact that my standards may be higher than some. Although I wasn't overly impressed, I'd probably give this place another shot in case it was a fluke.

I can't get enough of the Pho Nam (slow cooked brisket pho with thinly sliced brisket, noodles, bean sprouts and jalapeños) at this restaurant. I also love the Ga Nuong (grilled chicken) with rice. This dish features strips of grilled chicken with white rice, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and sweet-and-sour sauce. Pluses: -The brisket pho and grilled chicken entree are delicious. -The restaurant is within walking distance of stores and parking. -The interior is cute and service is friendly and efficient. Minuses: -I was given the wrong order during my last visit (chicken pho instead of brisket) and I did not enjoy the chicken pho! Word of advice: Be sure to check your takeout order before you leave the restaurant! -I tried the meatball pho once and wasn't a fan of the tough meatballs. Social distancing / Covid precautions: -The mask mandate is posted on the door and you can scan a barcode at the register to see the menu. -Indoor dining is available; however, most customers are now placing carryout or pickup orders. -During my most recent visit, the person who took my order kept adjusting his mask. I got a glimpse of the kitchen when he walked to the back to place my order and I noticed that one person in the kitchen was not wearing a mask. I saw this after placing my order, otherwise I would have thought twice about ordering takeout on that day. 3.5

I have passed by this location so many times and finally stopped by recently with some friends. We ordered some summer rolls, vegetarian, Pho Tai, Pho Tan Vinh and the vegetarian one as well. The beef broths were so rich. Very small amount of msg. You don't feel dehydrated after the Pho. The meats were prepared fresh and thinly sliced. The vegetarian pho is is a fully vegetarian broth. Confirmed after asking a couple servers. The location is great as theres street parking all around the main street and also a couple of garages as well. Perfect place to take your family as they have large tables as well. The rice platters were definitely popular as I saw some other diners order them as well. I'll definitely be back to try their other dinner entrees and boba as well

I've been coming here for over 7 years now and I have not been disappointed. I have tried all the variations of the summer garden rolls (e.g. autumn roll, winter roll and cripy spring roll). But I still have not decided which one is best. I just love the iced coffee and the pho is perfect! I always try to come here with friends to give them the same great food experience.

Pretty good pho if you want to don't want to drive to Wheaton or DC. Like any other pho - you should eat it all in one sitting. We got the veggie and chicken pho. I wish my veggie pho had more tofu, but overall it was good and comforting on a cold day. The noodles were a bit salty for me, or maybe my taste buds were a bit off this time. The hot sauce added the extra kick I was looking for. I was happy with the way they packed it since my walk back was about 15 minutes. I thought the broth would spill out, but only a little bit did. Thanks for doing such a thorough job with packing! The spring rolls were very good and I'd get them again. Next time, I'll try the Banh Mi!

Great service first off. Loved the garden rolls with peanut sauce. Thank you for giving me a generous ramekin of that peanut sauce which I love to bathe my garden rolls in. My pho arrived nice & hot and the broath was tasty which means that they take the time to prepare and brew their broath (boil the bones, veg etc.) which makes it have a good flavor. This is definitely a relaxing place to come and enjoy a nice hot bowl of pho, especially on a cool day. Thank you!

Walked in on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. Great pho. Good soup flavor and meat is tender. A large bowl runs you about $11.95/ small at $10.50. Adding beef meatballs cost $6 though, so that was confusing (are they adding a whole pack?; why is it so expensive?)

We love the pho and the vermicelli. It's one of our usual pick up places. Kids enjoy the pho ga (chicken), and the summer rolls are a "must" every time as they are fresh and come with a tasty peanut sauce.

very good. pleasant little place...very busy on sunday night. food was very tasty, to the point i am craving another visit. lots of staff so decent service

The Vietnamese place near our house went under a couple months back, so we were looking for a new one and this one in DTSS was on the "to try" list so we went out there on a day we were jonesing for grilled pork and Cafe Sua de. It hit the spot! We had the fried spring rolls, which were pretty good but a smallish portion - if you have more than a couple people you might need two orders. I ordered the grilled pork rice plate and hubs got the grilled pork vermicelli and my crack, I mean coffee. The grilled pork was really good, although a slightly different flavor profile than I was expecting though not a bad one. I think it had a hint of five spice in the rub/marinade. It was quite tasty, and was a good sized portion. The coffee was also good, not the absolute best I've had but it did satisfy the craving and leave me very hyped up for a few hours. (Robusta beans are much higher in caffeine than arabica.) I'd happily come here again when we need a Vietnamese fix.

Really flavorful and fresh! I don't come here enough but I am always pleased when I do. The pho has a good taste and summer rolls were superb!

Came in with a friend because we just love Pho! We ordered Banh Mi Sandwiches, one of their bowls of Pho, and Vietnamese Coffee. We were so happy with the food. I will return, and soon. I need more Banh Mi in my life!

Yummy Vietnamese food! Be warned: this place is super popular and hence, very busy at lunch time, so plan ahead! We started with crispy spring rolls which were pretty good (if not a tad overfried). My husband was a big fan of his beef pho. I had mixed feelings about my chicken vermicelli. The chicken was super fatty, and while there was a good amount of it, I didn't feel like the dish was balanced out enough with the other components. More carrots or peanuts would've helped bring out a better combination of flavors and textures. We also were served two plates with food stains on them, which we easily wiped off, but still found to be a little off-putting. Overall it was a decent spot for lunch.

3.5 stars - I might be a bit picky with phos as there are so many good ones in the DMV area. Tried round eye beef & brisket pho and brisket with tripes. Meat were well cooked, however, one common issue for both phos was that the soup was way too salty. We all know that the soup is the king of pho. I could hardly taste its rich flavor just because of its high level of salt. They did pack a decent amount of bean sprouts, basil leaves, and sliced limes. Basil leaves might have been dried out and have dark green look with not much basil taste at all. Fresh green leaves would be better.

This is all the sent me for the combination ordered that I placed, where's the tendon ? Not to mention this meat it's so little that I'm shocked they event sent any meat, NEVER AGAIN ORDERING from THIS disgusting overpriced place

The flavors of this Viet restaurant are phenomenal and you won't regret checking it out! The menu has lots of pictures of the food, catering to the non-Vietnamese folks--I love it! I went with the Tan Vinh Special #1 Banh Mi which was pretty much a deconstructed sandwich if you're interpreting a Banh Mi as a sandwich. Banh Mi actually just means bread. This special banh mi had a sunny side up egg, steak & pate served on a hot plate with bread on the side. I really enjoyed it, but I think I prefer a traditional Vietnamese sandwich. The other food I tried was also good and I am looking forward to trying more. I am knocking off one star because I came at 11:00AM when they were supposed to be open. I stood around for a few minutes and one of the employees said they're not open yet. I guess it was a lazy Sunday for them!

stopped by this pho place on a friday night and it was relatively empty. wouldnt say no to good pho on a super cold night! we got the crispy spring roll and pho with all the meats. the broth was on point and the noodles werent over cooked!!! absolutely enjoyed the pho. added beef balls for an extra $1 i would not recommend the spring rolls though, they weren't appetizing to me. something tasted off. the carrots were unflavored as well. definitely would come back for more pho!!

We found this place online since it was the closest pho place to us with a good amount of reviews. We looked at the menu through Yelp photos which was our own mistake because the large pho was $10.95 on someone's photo but when we put in the order it was $16 a bowl! I've never seen a current pho spot charge that much which really threw us off. If the food was exquisite, I could have ignored the price but we were really upset with the quality and quantity that we were given for our takeout order. To start, we had a very small amount of garnishes. Hardly any basil or jalapeños to go around so some people didn't have any in their bowl. Also, our packet of sauces were mostly sriracha and very little hoisin. An even amount of both would have been better but that's just a personal preference. Next, we all ordered large phos but none of our soup containers were even close to full. One of the broth containers we got was literally a little more than halfway full. Super disappointing since broth is our favorite part. For those of us who ordered beef pho, we hardly had any meat. I kept thinking they gave us a small portion of a pho bowl yet charged us for the large because the amount of meat was just SO minimal. Once again, very upsetting. Last but not least were the noodles. All of our noodles had a really really weird aftertaste and smell. My sister said it smelled like Cetaphil lotion which was super unappetizing. No one in our group even finished the noodles because they didn't taste right. I don't think we've ever not finished our pho noodles. Overall, it was just a really bad and disappointing experience and made us feel almost taken advantage of. With so many incredible pho spots in the DMV, I would not recommend this place.

This is my spotttttt. I've tried all the pho spots in dtss and Pho Tan Vinh is IT. Keep in mind, I'm not Vietnamese so idk what makes a spot authentic and such. I just know food and I know these taste buds and this spot be doing the things. The brisket pho is bomb. The flavor of the broth is soooo good. Sometimes I'll get the brisket and the meatballs but usually just the brisket. The chicken banh mi is delicious. The bread is always soft and fresh. The chicken is grilled up nicely. The crispy spring rolls are delish as well. The chicken wings are super flavorful and crunchy (if you are dining in just note that they take a while to be cooked). All that to say, I've never had anything from this spot that I didn't like and I have literally eaten here dozensssss of times.

A beautiful cozy little Pho place in the Heart of Down Town Silver Spring, MD. Really Friendly Staff with a great and Fast service. Didn't have to wait much for the meal. Me and my friend were craving for Pho and went in for lunch and we were FULL. Started with Summer roll with Shrimp and then comes the mouth watering Pho it was Delicious . The place was very clean and a very relaxing quiet place. Bit pricey but every bite worth it. I'd definitely go back there again.

The worse of the places the food tastes disgusting and too expensive, in addition to that too miserable are the portions. Terrible service from the rude and stupid manager.

For my first time trying Pho, the food was great! The employees did not bring any energy in the place which made the service dull. Shrimp Rolls were yummy but the service did not do Justice bc they assumed I was taking out without asking and I had to send my Pho back .

My brother-in-law introduced me to this restaurant, and I have to say that it is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been too. The food was very tasty, the restaurant was nicely decorated and it was very clean! The winter rolls must be a Pho Tan Vinh creation. I'm so glad I tried them. It was like having a summer roll but with Vietnamese sausage and seaweed inside. It was a winning combination! I also ordered the grilled chicken with rice. It was THE BEST grilled chicken I'd ever tasted in my life!! Grilled to perfection, and much better than the "grilled" chicken at other Vietnamese restaurants. My sister and brother-in-law ordered pho and they enjoyed it. . I can't wait to go back for more summer and winter rolls, and to try other dishes!

It was finally cold enough for pho season! We showed up around 7ish on a Friday night, and the place was jam packed. We took the last two sitting table! I ordered a large pho tai. It was delicious and definitely a large. I appreciated their large was actually more meat and noodles (I've ordered their small before) instead of just more noodles and/or soup. Everything was fresh and the meat had flavor. I'd be down to come back and maybe order other things in addition to pho. You could tell the servers and busboys were moving as quick as possible -- very efficient and mindful of their tables. It's my experience with pho restaurants (especially since I started my love for pho in Seattle), that the service is quick and to the point. They won't chit chat, because everything's busy. The restaurant clearly had waves of people coming in every 30 minutes so it was always new people and a new crowd. It seemed like everyone loved their food!

Yummy food and fast service perfect for dinner before seeing a movie Had the pho with beef meatballs and a peach smoothie.
