20 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Morningside

“This place is my favorite spot to eat Pho. I get the large bowl with brisket, meatball and shrimp. Extra onions, sriracha, jalapeños, hosin and steamed bean sprouts. Also the spring rolls and coffee boba tea😋😋“

“Excellent meal for Valentine's Day! We had the special Valentine's Day menu (pretty much all new entrees) and it did not disappoint. The pork "spring roll" was amazing, as was the beef with grits and wish they could appear on their regular menu one day. The service was excellent as always. The wine was delicious and reasonably priced for the bottle.“

“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“

“(2026 Update... This place used to have the best service and the best tasting Pho in town. The broth is no longer flavorful, the spring rolls are soggy and greasy, and the service is not as great. They are still nice to customers, but not attentive and forgetful of orders.) (2022...The Pho is so delicious 😋. It's very small inside and very clean. We arrived when they first opened and we barely got a table. Try to get there early if you're going on a Sunday. The staff's really nice and the food is so good. The broth is very flavored! Awesome place!)“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Others do too- it gets busy shortly after it opens. I have had the Pho, Bahn MI, Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce and I have to get the Green Thai Tea. I have gone back for that alone. I love it! Try it, you won't regret it!“

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

“I love Phonatics. Something about the texture and flavor of the broth makes it my favorite, and I love sitting at the window and watching 14th St. There is even a bald eagle that flies around Columbia Heights that I occasionally spot from the window.“

“I got their noodles combo with the lemongrass chicken and summer rolls with grilled pork. The noodles were great, especially with the what I presume to be a vinegar garlic dressing, but the chicken could’ve definitely been seasoned better as it was pretty bland and cooked a little more crispy as the outside texture was nonexistent. The summer rolls were great, especially with the peanut sauce. I will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“I’ve been eating at this place since 2023, and it is definitely the definition of “Comfort food”. There are many Pho places in DC, but this one has the best taste! The Pho has always been delicious, with a consistent taste and good amount of meat. The dishes are varied and served fast but without missing a detail. The prices are also very good.“

“Nina and Mike have built an incredibly special place in DC. The pho is delicious, highly recommend the spicy lemongrass pho. I typically go for a 13 full spice, but sometimes I change it up. My husband is a big fan of the banh mi, which comes with sweet potato tempura which is sooo goood! I can go on forever, I've happily ate everything on the menu. The staff are all lovely and friendly — together with the owners they a great big family filling bellies and hearts.“

“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“

“I actually used Banana Blossom Bistro for catering a lunch event for about 40 people, and it was stellar. The service, the food, the presentation. Everyone at my event was talking about the food for hours afterwards. We got an assortment of banh mi and the cabbage salad. The pork banh mi was INCREDIBLE. Annie was kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I can't recommend them enough!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“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!!!“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“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.“

Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.25 out of 5

Recommendations: Spring Rolls, Pho Dac Biet (rare steak, brisket, and meatballs)

A very decent pho shop with large bowls of pho. Location is kind of sketchy, and I’m not a fan of the atmosphere inside - too small and too dark. However, the quality of food makes up for it. Will probably come back again if I’m feeling pho!“

“This is not an dine-in restaurant currently, but I was looking for takeout anyway. The pho is excellent; large portions of chicken and beef in the respective soups, plenty of bean sprouts, jalapenos, and other additives, and decent amount of noodles. I also ordered a combination rice dish that came with small shrimp and I think chicken (dark meat so hard to tell), and it was very good, especially after I covered it with the sauce they gave me and then shook it to mix everything together. Total for 3 bowls of pho and the rice dish was somewhere around $50 and well worth the price.“
