Walk downhill from Court House if you're feeling a bit lazy. Is it still cash only?

Still cash only but there’s an ATM inside

Are they connected to Pho 75 in Rockville?

merpderp33 t1_j1zpgwn wrote

Yea! It has multiple locations around the DMV - I do think the Rosslyn location is way better than Rockville. Rockville isn’t as good as it used to be

Do they have the spice levels published anywhere? I like mine very spicy and never seem to be able to get the spice level correct.

Pho 75 in Rosslyn is the best. But pho 14 in Columbia heights is second.

I vouch for both of these unless you're willing to go further into the suburbs.

I stopped frequenting Pho 14 in about 2018 because it seemed like the quality of their meat cuts just kept deteriorating. I used to usually get the Pho Chin and then they started running out of it at random times and then the cuts were increasingly fatty and/or gristly. Can you or anyone else report on whether they’ve improved things since then, especially with the Pho Chin?

I don’t like this one as much… not a rich broth compared to pho viet

Eden Center in Falls Church is worth the trek. Only place I like to eat pho since 2010.

Don't even have to go that far... Pho 75 is top rated and in Rosslyn / courthouse in Arlington

HimmiGendrix t1_j1xsqs6 wrote

I've been there, not terrible, But still doesn't beat Eden Ctr spots IMO.

wellwellshitwellshit t1_j1xwvql wrote

What spot in particular? Bruh you can't name an area and say it's better then a particular restaurant. Pho broth is so complex and individualized to each restaurant. Ive Been to a good portion of the ones I'm eden center and can say pho 75 is better... Pho sate is better pho HOA is better then any one in Eden. I love eden center but come at me with a restaurant

BTW: no such thing as good delivery pho, no matter how good it was when it left the kitchen.

cheesegloriouscheese t1_j20ky3m wrote

100 times yes. But if you care more about delivery than about good pho, may I suggest you instead order ramen from Haikan, which is near Logan Circle. IMO the best ramen in DC, and comes cold with detailed microwave instructions so you end up with something fresh and tasty!

PhoNatics Noodle Bar on 14th is good. Used to be called pho57

TheSquireOfShaw t1_j1xmj45 wrote

Technically pho 54. And the phonetics phone number doesn’t work if you’re calling for pick up, but the pho 54 number does. One thing to note, if you’re going for traditional, is that they don’t serve tripe.

cheesegloriouscheese t1_j20k68b wrote

Nothing in DC is as good as VA (Pho 75 or Eden Center) but this is pretty respectable according to my Vietnamese girlfriend, it’s run by Vietnamese people, AND you can walk there from Logan Circle, avoiding the horror that is “delivery pho!” EDIT: she adds, “Really, you should just go to Pho 75!”

Pho Junkies in Navy Yard!!! I can’t hype this place up enough. It’s run by two guys who used to run the business out of a food truck. Not the fastest service, but the pho is always on point.

I too scoff good restaurant recommendations when they’re technically not within the city limits of where I’m visiting…

Pho Tan Vinh in downtown Silver Spring. My best friend was visiting from San Fransisco and ate there three times while here for ten days. Said it's the best pho he'd ever had. I agree.

But you can't have it delivered. Pho has to be served to you fresh from the kitchen. Otherwise it's just soup.

funktime t1_j1zmiyx wrote

Another vote for pho tan Vinh. Get the spring rolls too. The best I've ever had anywhere.

Pho 14 used to be good, but it's really gone downhill over the past few years.

drupe14 t1_j205kgd wrote

i actually agree - my opinion of Pho 14 has been slowly changing every time i visit. Circa 2015-2018 it was some of the best broth I had but in the past few years its gone down hill.

which spot would you recommend that hits as good as Pho 14 used to?

2

rajits t1_j20656b wrote

Dunno if they deliver, but Pho Viet is definitely my favorite. I think PhoNatics is also pretty good, although I tend to get banh mi when I'm there

Pipes_of_Pan t1_j1zmn1f wrote

I personally believe there are a couple great spots but for where you are staying and for delivery, I'd definitely recommend Pho 14 in Columbia Heights. That's our local and they do a great job with delivery.

Pho 88 in Chinatown.

Zuzanimal t1_j1xgh4j wrote

Pho14!!

Especially if you are doing delivery. Some Pho places deliver the broth cold. Last time I ordered from Sprig and Sprout they did this.

Pho14 is delicious and delivered warm/hot!

Maybe not the best in the whole city, but it's definitely the best in NW. Excellent broth and large portions.

+1. I think the broth is even better than the Columbia Heights storefront. But sadly they are closing soon. Landlord raising rent.

Froggy Bottom in Foggy Bottom is pretty good for Pho. They have good beer too.
