Pho Nam Restaurant

The soup is amazing, I’ve had three bowls these week, even if the place might not seem as aesthetically pleasing the food is worth the try and honestly it was my first impression of PHO I definitely recommend it!

The best pho on this side of Maryland. I used to drive to Ellicott City but this broth is identical and fantastic. If you are familiar with good pho spots, you don’t care what the inside looks like - only that the bowls are hearty and full of flavor which they absolutely are. It’s a no frills, focused on the food restaurant. And for that, it’s an easy 5 stars since I don’t have to drive as far for good pho.

pho nam is the best pho place i have tried in the DMV. i have frequented this restaurant minimum three times per week in the last two weeks. the owners are the sweetest 💌 i asked if they had a certain drink and they said unfortunately not at that moment but the owner recommended i try thai iced tea (it was my first time) and instantly i became addicted 😂 i have tried thai iced tea at two other pho places and they were a huge disappointment compared to the thai iced tea at pho nam 🥹 the other owner explained that they don’t use additional coloring in there’s and let me tell you, i’m glad they don’t. best thai tea ever. also the broth is sooo rich and tasty, again i went to my old go-to pho place and was disappointed. so much so i had to leave this review for pho nam to let them know i miss

Pretty good! Pho broth is excellent, but I felt the meats in my #14 were on the skimpy side. I found one piece of Tripe, and really had to search to find a few small pieces of Tendon. The Spring Rolls were very good, especially the Peanut Sauce. I ordered the Salty Lemonade Soda and it was excellent. Overall a good experience and I would go back again.

I’ve visited this place occasionally because the pho is good, and once again, the pho was decent. However, this was my first time ordering the grilled beef, and it was very disappointing. The meat was extremely tough and dry, and it wasn’t even served hot. It didn’t feel freshly made at all—more like it had been grilled long ago and simply reheated. Compared to the pho, the quality of the grilled beef was noticeably lacking and definitely needs improvement.
