Did take out, fast service and reasonable prices for the portions. Pho was absolutely delish and I usually don’t like spring rolls but these were A+Parking: There’s a lot right next to the building for the pho place, the bank, and Starbucks. About 16 spots.

Food was decent at best. Beef pho slice was too thick. Broth was too sweet. Teenage girl at front, dont care at all.

Food was ok, small portions. Service was awful - the teenage girl at the register clearly didn't want to be there and was rude. Not a good experience personally.

What a hidden gem!! This business is so easy to walk by without noticing because it is understated. The food, however, is anything but simple. Their entrees are bursting with flavor and at such a good price point for Bethesda. Their menu is on the walk when you walk in and you order from the person at the counter. All their vegan options are labeled and they use seitan as their protein. I ordered the vegan flaming beef and my friend tried the vegan vegetable curry. The presentation of both meals was stunning! I love that the beef came with a side salad and the curry came with a generous portion of rice and garnish on the curry. The seitan beef was cooked so well! It was a great texture and was meaty without being too realistic. The flavor was so savory and seasoned perfectly. I did not want to put my fork down I gobbled my meal up! I did not try the curry but definitely want to order it next time as my friend enjoyed it. I am so thankful this business has many vegan options and all the vegetarian items were cheaper than the meat entrees. It was only $12 for dinner in Bethesda which is so hard to find. I am definitely coming back to try more of the menu and telling all my friends about this local treasure.

I took my bestie for hot, delicious pho after some healing time in the Salt Cave spa (Bethesda Salt Cave Spa) nearby for his birthday. The brutal cold temperatures along with a very brisk wind, their large chicken pho hit all the spots! Healing, refreshing and scrumptious with all the pho fixings, we were having such a wonderful time. The young lady taking our orders was a sweetie pie and the beautiful paintings on the walls gave art gallery vibes. Please do check them out if you're ever in Bethesda!

Bland and boring. What else can I say. I give it an extra star for the few vegan dishes available but the faux chicken was a mud brown in color with nonflavor in the dish with rice or the noodle bowl, which also had no broth. It gets a star for not making me sick this 2 star rating.Lemongrass in the faux chicken? Nope.
Can you imagine a vegetarian pho without broccoli? Welcome to this place with mediocre and expensive food. Don't believe good reviews -this is exactly how we decided to try their pho. Never again.

Consistent and good. I recommend takeout, the restaurant doesn’t have a good atmosphere.

If you could get past the utter filth of the kitchen and main area, the food used to at least taste good. Not great but decent. That's no longer the case. The quality of the food has gone downhill. I made the mistake of giving it one last try after two very poor experiences. The salad was tasteless. The pho looked like I ordered it off a kiddie menu. And that's after I paid for extra noodles and extra chicken. When I called to complain, a very rude woman offered to give me extra chicken. How nice of them to offer me what I already paid for ... and invite me to make a return trip to pick up those 2oz of chicken! Steer clear and take the time to go to Rockville or Silver Spring to satisfy your hankering for pho or any other Vietnamese dish.

Love this place! Heads up though it closes at 8:20, not 9 (on Tuesdays at least).

I got the grilled lemongrass chicken (#11) and it was delicious! Big portion for the price. :) Second photo shows second layer of chicken (with some already missing because I couldn’t resist)
