    The pho here is amazing! Make sure to get the Spicy Lemongrass Pho Beef Special that offers Beef Eye Round, Well Done Brisket, Flank, Soft Tendon & Meat Balls.

    Pho Viet is probably most favored for its spicy lemongrass pho, which adds extra heat to the existing beef, shrimp, chicken, and vegetarian pho options offered. Read more

    Despite all the tips about lemongrass, don't skip the regular phò. The delicate broth here is delicious. I like the #11 dac biet special with everything.

    authentic flavorful pho, served quickly, your choice of spiciness, large servings. The venue itself is not fancy, but none of the true pho places are.

    Stick with the regular pho, if you're looking for soup. The eye is better than the brisket. Fried rolls are really good, too.

    Best pho I've had in the DC area. Quality broth, excellent meats, fresh bean sprouts and basil. Outstanding whether spicy or not.

    Pho in Columbia Heights with standout broth that's inexplicably light and clean, while still retaining the rich beef and ginger flavors.

    This is probably my favorite bowl of pho in the DC metro area; possibly better than Pho Hot in Annandale, and definitely better than Pho 75 and Pho 14.
