21 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Washington

“Unexpectedly outstanding vegetarian menu. The eggplant nigiri sauce was memorable, followed by refreshing radish-wrapped vegetables. Toasted rice beautifully complemented the creamy panna cotta. The entree was the best; the bamboo texture was just right. Pickled mushrooms had good bite, their acidity blending perfectly with leeks and cilantro sauce. Perfect ending with a refreshing sorbet and rich chocolate.“

“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 ordered the Pho Tai, Gau... OMG so good. I ordered delivery and it was still fresh. There was no option on the third party app to request extra limes so I called to requests and the individual on the other end was extremely kind. Back to the food, it was GREAT as delivery... I can only imagine it is phenomenal as dine in and piping hot. Bravo.“

“I always say that when you're on a trip you should go where the locals go.

This was exactly what I mean by that.

As soon as we walked in I knew it was the spot because every table was full of people.

I opted for the bahn mi and shrimp summer rolls.

I thought both were great and just wish I lived nearby to go more often.“

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

“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!“

“We ordered the pho tai bo vien, grilled pork rice bowl, beef vermicelli, and shrimp spring rolls. Each item was delicious, and tasted crafted and made with love. The pho broth in particular had an incredibly rich and deep flavor. Definitely worth a try!“

“The broth is so rich and flavorful that there’s no need to add anything else to it. Portion sizes are appropriate and hosts are kind and understanding. A literal hidden gem. Atmosphere is colorful, quaint, and homey. Would absolutely recommend !!!!!“

“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!!!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“
