Came in on a quiet Friday evening and was greeted by the gentleman behind the counter, promptly seated and given a menu. I asked him about the salted lemonade, and he told me they pickle the entire lemon so it's very salty. Boy he wasn't kidding - it was like a sports drink; just what I was looking for!
I ordered lemongrass pork and rice and the food came out shortly after my drink. Pork was crispy and well seasoned, a big pile of shredded carrot and a healthy portion of rice rounded put the dish. Everything was hot, tasty, and brought out quickly.
I'll definitely come back to try a bahn mi next time!

The good reviews deceived me… some of the worst Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. Avoid. Small portions, missing key ingredients, poor quality

First time trying pho and was not disappointed! Great food and amazing costumer service! Will be coming back!

I love pho so much! But this place was such a nice, straightforward way to get some tasty soup. The server was kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and the place was cozy.

Maybe they were having a bad day? By far the worst Vietnamese I’ve had. The vermicelli noodles looked and tasted like spaghetti noodles. No seasoning on the very small serving of chicken. The chicken was very poor quality. Good and quick service, maybe the trick is stick with Pho?

We had terrible pho here. The noodles were clumped and the soup was salty, sugary, and flavorless. It wasn't like this before. The service was not great either as they messed up the order and made no attempt to correct it.
Seems more like a carry-out instead of an eat in. Good food though ?

On the bustling main street of Old Town, Pho Nam stands as a culinary beacon, guiding food lovers through the vibrant streets of Vietnam. Stepping into Pho Nam is like stepping into a Vietnamese market, with the aromas of fresh herbs, simmering broths, and grilled meats filling the air, promising an authentic journey for your taste buds.Our adventure kicked off with the Ca Phe Sua Da, the signature Vietnamese coffee that could wake the dead (or at least make them wish they had another shot at being alive to enjoy it). This potent brew, sweetened with condensed milk, is the perfect start to an epic culinary journey, setting the tone for the feast to come.The Fresh Garden Rolls and Vietnamese Egg Rolls were like the opening act at a rock concert, setting the stage and getting the crowd going. These rolls were so fresh, they could have come straight from the garden and the fryer, ready to rock your palate with their crisp and vibrant flavors.The Banh Mi Dac Biet was next, a classic house special sandwich that's a veritable United Nations of flavors, nestled within a crisp baguette. With headcheese, Vietnamese ham, French-style pate, and a slather of house mayo, this sandwich is a masterclass in simplicity, balance and finesse, garnished with pickled carrot and radish, green onion, cilantro, and just the right hit of jalapeno to keep things interesting.The Pho Bo (traditional beef noodle soup) and Pho Ga (chicken variation) were like big, warm hugs in a bowl. The beef pho was so authentic, it felt like a culinary postcard from Saigon, with its rich, aromatic broth and tender slices of beef, singing with the flavors of Vietnam. The chicken pho offered a comforting embrace, its clear, flavorful broth and tender chicken telling a story of simplicity and soulfulness, a testament to the comforting power of a good chicken soup.Not to be outdone, the Bun Thit Nuong (grilled lemongrass pork on rice vermicelli) was like the summer hit you can't get out of your head, with its smoky, savory pork and light, refreshing vermicelli making for a perfect harmony of flavors.The Com Suon Nuong (grilled pork chop on steamed rice) was a great complement to round out the ensemble. A dish so satisfying, with its perfectly grilled pork chop and fluffy steamed rice proving that sometimes, the simplest things in life are also the most delightful.Pho Nam is more than just a restaurant; it's a ticket to Vietnam, offering an authentic taste of its rich culinary heritage. From the vibrant flavors of its dishes to the warmth of its service, Pho Nam is a gem in the DC metro area, a place where every meal is a celebration of Vietnamese culture. So, if you're craving an adventure that's both delicious and authentic, look no further than Pho Nam. It's a pho-nomenal experience that's sure to satisfy your wanderlust and your appetite, one slurp at a time.

Very rude service. Food was thrown to us at our table. Small guy with hat and mustache was very mad without any cause.

The food was barely meh, I’ve definitely tried better places that don’t charge you 15 for a small bowl of pho. The Noodle were very hard. Took a long time to order & the “server” wasn’t around at all but was quick to ask me for a tip when I paid. Expensive and not worth it.
Great food and efficient service, highly recommend!
