Moved back to Virginia from the Bay Area in Northern California where some of the best pho in the country is found. This place is about the closest we’ve found to matching that quality. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I visit at least once a week with my wife, 3, and 5 year old and they treat us like family!
Food is amazing, fresh and seasoned well. We normally order the Five Spiced Pho option. I order extra beef and they don’t charge much for that option. Broth is always hot and great flavor. Their apps and fried rice are really good as well.
Definitely worth checking out if your someone who appreciates authentic pho and great service!

Pho 1 Grill is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely excellent — fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I ordered the P2. Pho Tai, and it was incredibly tasty. The grilled chicken with vermicelli was also a standout — tender, well-seasoned, and perfectly paired with the noodles.
Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the location is convenient. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I genuinely enjoyed every bite and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Two reasons...very good food and better owners. The owner Paul and his wife go out of their way to make you feel welcome. He introduced himself to me the first time I was in his restaurant 15 years ago and he remembered my name and says hello every time.
Recently my wife has been chasing down the causes of her migraines and we think MSG is a trigger. Paul assured us he it would be ok and he was absolutely right. I highly recommend you give it a try...if you're lucky Paul may show you a magic trick.

Pho broth is excellent and in my opinion doesn’t need any hoisin but I do add sriracha/chili oil for heat.
I feel like their banh mi are an absolute hidden gem. The bread is crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside and their fillings are perfectly seasoned, proportioned, and balanced.

This is at least the 20th pho restaurant I’ve eaten at across 5 states and also the most disappointing.
- Food was abismal for the price and portions
- The combination pho and 2 spring rolls came to $30 for lunch for 1 (yes 1) person
- The beef was tough and frankly non existent maybe 3 very thinly sliced pieces of top round which is the cheapest cut
- Very scant on the noodles
- Broth was overly salty
- Made me cough which is due to too much msg to make up for subpar broth
- They charge for condiments like chili oil
- I asked for extra tendon and declined when she said it would be $5 for 3 slices (picture the small puck from air hockey)
- Ambiance was nice, jazz music

Very hospitable staff. The pho was the best I have ever had and I have had pho from many parts of the country. No sauces required to enjoy this richly flavored comforting broth.
