Pho Viet - Washington

Excellent broth. Some of the best I’ve had, personally.

Been going here for at least 10 years. Great lemongrass spicy Pho if you like the hots. Wife gets vegetarian I get the meats, both good. Good apps, nice atmosphere , kid friendly been taking ours since babes. Its a small quaint space and gets crowded but no problem to stand around till you get a space. Takeout is good too, pack it up real well.

Decided to try this place on a whim since it was down the street from my Airbnb. I grabbed the special and some spring rolls. The special was amazing, and the sauce that came with it was a wonderful addition. I would definitely order it again. The place itself is small and got really packed after I got in, yet people were really cool about sharing tables with other groups. It's definitely a welcoming sight coming from a place where you see two people at a 6-person table, yet you have to wait 30-45 minutes for them to finish rather than just taking the seats not being used

I ordered the clay pot catfish (Ca kho to). This dish should typically have fillets of catfish braised in a clay pot with caramelized fish sauce glaze. The one I was served was more of a soupy broth with white fish bits. The dish fell short of expectations. The mistake is partly on me for having ordered something other than pho.

Wow, what a place. I was so impressed that I spoke with one of the owners about how much I loved it. The staff, the environment, the efficiency, the regulars, and the FOOD 10/10, would give more stars if I could. Wonderful restaurant with a lot of love poured into it.
