21 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Washington

“Exquisite food paired with excellent service. To start, our server Monique was phenomenal, radiant and one of the best servers I have encountered in my dining experience. What a blessing for Moon Rabbit to have such a phenomenal service/front of house team!

We sampled quite a few different courses on a very well crafted and diverse menu. “From the Earth” we tried the Crispy Mountain salad which was flavorful and refreshing in between our heavier courses, “From the Sea” we had the sweet potato & crab as well as the Mochi Beignet which brought unique flavors with bold combinations. The options “From the Land” we had both the rabbit and the pork - both which were rich but not overly heavy, a very well curated combination of flavors that worked well together in each dish. The deserts were divine, I usually do not like sweets as I lack a sweet tooth however the deserts at Moon Rabbit are light and refreshing! We had both the Curry and Apple deserts - I’d highly recommend both!

I also had the best mocktails I have ever had in my life - I highly recommend the Jade to anyone seeking a slightly tart, mildly sweet, well balanced non alcoholic beverage to pair with these divine courses.

Of course a huge thank you to Moon Rabbit for curating a unique and affordable dining experience!“

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“I genuinely never write reviews but I have to because this is genuinely one of the best pho spots in the dc area by FAR!!! easy quick delicious and good price. Be sure to get there for dinner on the earlier side as it actually fills up and its very mom and pop so be easy on the staff! love them and will be going back again and again“

“Best $20 pho you can ask for, and the smoothies are airy light and wonderful. I got the chicken pho, it was incredibly delicious, I’m so full, yet I feel refreshed and not lazy or fat, fresh veggies with pho hits the spot especially when it’s at 54!! Well done!“

“Absolutely delicious! Staff were friendly, food was prepared quickly and was so flavourful. Highly recommend.“

“This place is cute and reasonably priced, but I wasn't wowed by the food. I got pho and a chicken bahn mi to go and dug into the sandwich the moment I stepped outside. The sandwich was not very hot and there were no jalapeños on it. (I was not a fan of the egg on it, either, but that is on me for not reading the menu more carefully.) Unfortunately, the chicken pho broth was not nearly as flavorful as I was hoping and the soup was carried by the condiments. Overall, while I thought the people and atmosphere were nice, I was not thrilled with the food.“

“Fast, casual, and flavorful.

Service- you look at the menu through a QR code and either order at the counter or if employees is not busy (with Togo orders) will come over and take your order

Food- pho was so tasty. The broth was full flavors and great portions of protein and veggies.

Space- the space is small and simple. About 8 tables, clean.

I will come back and even order takeout!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“We’ve been back here three times in one week and each time the food has been incredible! The pho is outstanding - great broth, meat, veg, noodles. The chicken salad is shockingly good - will definitely be getting it again! And my friend tried the curry and banh mi combo with a fried egg which were, again, delicious. Staff are also so lovely. Highly recommend! Also, I’m gluten free and there are lots of great options.“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“ordered delivery. pho was perfect summer rolls were good and plentiful size for 12 year olds appetite. had combo pho and shrimp pho very pleased. wish I could get this where we live!!!“

“Walking into this spot, you are immediately welcomed by a cozy, inviting ambiance and excellent customer service. It is a Vietnamese spot, but the kitchen is run by an all-Salvadoran crew. Having traveled to both El Salvador and Vietnam, experiencing this felt like a beautiful, unexpected cultural fusion that made me feel right at home.

The food completely takes you back. We started with the summer rolls, which were exceptionally fresh and delicious. For the main courses, I ordered the beef special pho, and she got the vermicelli bowl loaded with grilled shrimp and grilled honey lemongrass pork. While my pho was deeply comforting, rich, and a great reminder of the amazing food out in Vietnam, I have to admit I was incredibly jealous of her dish—the vermicelli bowl was absolutely out of this world!

To drink, I tried the iced tamarind topped with peanuts. It is fantastic and heavily reminded me of the refreshing tamarind drinks we enjoy back in the West Indies.

Between the top-tier food, the warm atmosphere, and the friendly service, this place is an absolute five-star neighborhood treasure. I highly recommend it!“

“Solid pho, plus it came out extremely fast and the place seems clean. Would happily try other things there. The worst part was the noodles: not great but ok given that it’s a casual and fast spot; the noodles were almost exclusively short and there were few long ones, perhaps overcooked and they fell apart.“

“Pre-paying for food and tipping for food you didn't get yet is total BS!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“Overall, good experience. Convenient, fast, and easy. Food pretty tasty for the speed and ease. Somewhat affordable. The decor and ambiance is whimsical, like stepping into a Blake & white drawing. A very easy way to enjoy some satisfying Asian comfort foods.“

“I ordered Mr Yangs Vegan on uber eats and it got prepped and delivered to me fast, but the flavor of the items wasn't that great and seemed to what anyone could make at home. I ordered the Shrimp and fries, Beef and broccoli, Crab Rangoons and the Garlic knots and out of those, the garlic knots tasted the best.“

“When i went it was under construction. Did pick up for pho, spring rolls and bahn mi. I didn’t have the bahn mi but my friend said it was deliscious. The pho was really good and they gave lots of meat. The spring rolls weren’t my favorite because they had too much lettuce and not enough of everything else. Overall very good and I’d go back“

“Pho Viet USA has some real strengths, especially where it matters most—the soup. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the depth, and the portions are generous for the price, which makes it feel like you’re getting solid value.
That said, a small thing took away from the experience: chili oil isn’t provided unless you pay extra. If you’re someone who loves your pho with a kick, that’s a bit of a letdown.
Service and atmosphere are both decent—nothing standout, but nothing bad either. Overall, it’s a good spot if you’re craving a satisfying bowl of pho, just be prepared to pay a little extra if you want to spice things up.“
