Really great Bo Vien and excellent service :) didn't have to wait long at all for our food, and we had some good tea for afterwards!
One of the best pho place in DC! Service was amazing and the lady that served us was super sweet. Even with new owner, it's still one of the best fast casual restaurant you would expect with great food, service, and quick in DC! We enjoyed the crab free option pho! We will be back over and over!
Cute little spot in Northwest DC. The staff is super friendly and offered many suggestions, in fact, I asked the server to order me her favorite and she selected the Pho Shrimp. Definitely something I would've never ordered but after having it, I will definitely be ordering it again. Not pictured, was a chicken banh mi. It was perfect!
I recently went here for a weeknight dinner with a couple of friends and had a good experience. We were seated immediately and received good service. Phonatics is small-it maybe seats about 20 people in a no-frills atmosphere. We split the summer rolls which were delicious with a great dipping sauce. I got the Pho Dac Biet Special for my main dish, which was fine overall. However, some of the beef was extremely tough and I wished I had a bit more beef and noodles in the pho at the price point.
I couldn't say enough about it. The meat portions were generous and cooked to perfection. The broth was decadent and the service was quick and kind.
I needed to eat urgently and was close by. I have passed this place so many times and assumed the food would be good. I'm not a fanatic, but I've had many bahn-mi in my days and this was hands down the best I've ever had. I went with the veggie for something light and was suprised by the toasted baguette and expertly fried(?) tofu. It was excellent. I don't normally give reviews but felt compelled. Will be back to try the lemongrass beef and pho.
I was looking for my new local pho spot and PhoNatics might end up being the one. The service is very quick and all the workers are very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Pho and it tasted great! They have an extensive menu that goes way beyond just pho so there is plenty to try. The space is clean with a lot of seating if you would like to dine in and convenient small tables for solo diners like me. My only critique would be I wish they had size options just because I cant always finish a big bowl of Pho but of course take out is always an option!
MASSIVE portions. I've never had so much noodles in my bowl of pho. Broth is rich and slightly sweet for my taste but still yummy enough. My friend is vegetarian and really liked her bowl, had tofu and cauliflower in it. All my friends were floored with how much noodles we kept slurping up. Left so full, def worth sixteen bucks haha. Cute casual restaurant with high ceilings and booth seatings all around. You pay at the cashier after you're done eating. Would recommend if you want bang for your buck!
after grabbing my fav coffee at Little Hat Coffee down the street (inside Streets Market) i stopped by for lunch! phonatics pleasantly surprised me! the pho broth was rich and truly delicious. the portions were generous, and i found myself unable to finish my meal. their summer rolls were a great size, four huge half-rolls. the place offers a decent amount of seating, and the staff is really nice and attentive just a heads-up: payments are made at the counter!
