This place has BUGS!! I was a regular for a while since I move in Sept 2025, but I went in with my family one afternoon for lunch and we sat in the back right corner table by the wall.. Like a normal day we placed our order with the older gentleman, I forgot his name. As we waited for our order and conversed my husband seen a roach crawling out of the crack of the wall panel beside me! Instead of panicking and making a scene, I chose to call the older gentleman over to let him know I was turned off and wanted to cancel my order. Seeing what we saw and embarrassed he starts banging on the wall, he calls Tina (The owner) and tells her what happens out loud, which caused others to hear what was happening. We told him we wanted to cancel and they forced us to take the food and pay with some discounts. I am very disappointed because I didn’t want to make a scene (which I can) so to diffuse the situation I paid and told them I would leave a bad review and never be back! I was a regular and deserved some more compassion than that. It’s not my fault your place has bugs. I didn’t even eat the food they forced me to pay for! It was trash just like their establishment! The better Pho spots of Frederick are definitely Lucky Corner, and Pho and More! Check them out!

Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Gets busy since it’s popular. Parking lot gets full, you’ll may have to street park. They offer a military discount.

Pho 52 is one of those rare places where you walk in as a customer and leave feeling like family. From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. The pho was incredibly comforting—rich, flavorful, and soothing in a way that feels nurturing to both the body and the soul. You can tell this is real mom-and-pop cooking made with heart and pride. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly, and warm. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the feeling of being treated like you matter. That’s something special. Pho 52 isn’t just a restaurant to me—it’s a place of comfort and kindness. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟's 😋's YUM'S! I Highly recommended.

My first time here. I don't expect anything but the food come out quick and hot . I love My crispy egg noodles. The sauce is so good with the crispy noodle. 😋 I'm been craving for this so long and I really impressed. The kids got a chance to get the bubbles gum for free after we pay at the counter. Thank you

This is my new pho spot. I decided to drive to Frederick from MoCo since it has a reputation for great food, and it absolutely delivered. Best pho I’ve ever had. I got the rare steak and flank and it was incredibly flavorful. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere was light and lively. Definitely try the homemade chili sauce. It has a one of a kind flavor and takes the pho to another level. First time I’ve ever finished my bowl. It was good to the last drop. I will definitely be back.

A real hidden gem! Great casual spot and the food is absolutely incredible. We had the chicken pho and beef pho and both were 10/10: warmong, aromatic, filling, and flavorful. Very fast and friendly service as well. Highly recommend!

A precious, friendly hole-in-the-wall spot. Delicious, very savory & flavorful, yet miraculously without that MSG-overdose you typically get from pho. I feel like I must have finally tasted a proper, skillfully-made pho for the first time!

Needed a post-flu recovery meal and Pho 52 did not disappoint! The beef spring rolls were so good. We will definitely be back!

PHOnomenal experience every time! My husband and I recently found this hidden gem in Frederick and find ourselves here almost weekly. Attentive and friendly staff, very prompt service even when they’re busy. Food is fresh and flavorful. Try the Bun Bo Hue - perfect for clearing out your sinuses during allergy season! We’ll be back 😃
