4 of us ate there on Friday night. The owner was very friendly, and made a point to introduce himself to us. He reminded us he delivers as well. The pho was very good (I’ve been to Vietnam twice, so of course I’ve had better, but really, it’s all good). I was impressed with how clean it was as well. The owner said he is having some artwork/decorations brought in from Vietnam (fitting!), so it should add some atmosphere. Finally, the menu has pictures for each entree.

I will note that a side dish they have on the menu is shredded pork/loaf, something I’m guessing the owner will take off on the 2nd version of their menu. It just doesn’t appeal to American taste buds (IMHO).

I’ll be back to try the pork chop (my favorite and the bar I set for all Vietnamese restaurants).

Worth a visit, and a nice addition to the neighborhood.

I live around the corner and I’ve been here twice. Once on Friday afternoon and then once Saturday during the snow storm.

The owners are extremely friendly. Nina, who seems to run the front of the house, told me how they cook their beef and how they make their meatballs. They put a lot of effort into it and it shows. The pho is tastier than the pho and Pho 14 and their spring rolls are outstanding.

We talked about how it took them a year and a half to open. Their family turned an English basement into a pho restaurant. 14th Street could use a lot more places like this and I’m happy to support their restaurant.

I’ll be eating at Pho Viet often and I urge everyone to go and at least give it a try. The prices are remarkably reasonable.

I overheard the guys in pho 14 saying they knew the guy who opened pho viet. possibly someone who worked with them or something? Sounded like they were not to happy about him opening a place a block away. My question is does Pho Veit have its liqoure license? I like pho 14 but its not the same without a tiger beer. I still drag myself to cleveland park for nam viet.

Went there on late Sunday afternoon after having finished the big post-snow dig out. All the wintry activity and added effort of just walking around through treacherous terrain gave me a sizable appetite! I ordered the spring rolls, pho with raw eye of round & tendon, and the rice dish that included a pork chop, viet egg frittata, shredded pork, fried egg over easy, and pickled daikon. It was all very good.

I would say, as a self-proclaimed pho connoisseur, that their pho broth was a bit bland. Perhaps their stock needs to work itself up in flavor? It needed a little bit of salt or a touch more charred onion. I appreciate that fact that one spice did not overpower the broth and that the broth had a nice clear luster.

Differences between this place, Pho Viet, and Pho 14?

Pho Viet: more extensive menu. I love the rice dishes very authentically viet, esp the one with the egg frittata and shredded pork. Cohi hipsters do not know what they are missing when the overlook this.

Pho Viet: serves HOT vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and from the traditional drip press. Pho 14 only has it in the iced version.

Pho 14: their pho comes in two sizes. At Pho Viet, there is only one size at one price. The pho seemed more meager compared to Pho 14.

I appreciate the fact that Pho Viet’s menu has the dish name in vietnamese with the appropriate accent marks so I can figure out the name of the dishes.

Concludsion: I can see myself going to Pho 14 for their pho and Pho Viet for their other dishes.

The place only seats 28 people including at the bar. The owners were super nice and attentive, I’ll definitely be back. Perhaps this evening in fact!

Went opening night and loved it. I’d say it was better than Pho 14 if they’d had veggie pho!

Do they have a website? I want to order for delivery (althoiugh, ‘m getting the Pho:o)

quit talking about veggie pho. “veggie pho” does not even make any sense. pho inherently means beef broth.

i will visit pho viet soon. also curious about the liquor license. if they dont have their liquor license, unlike park rd, you can probably get away with BYOB up there.

Look what happens when you lose a war.

The food was good, the service was great and the spot was very homey and cute.

Went. VERY friendly service, including holding our baby for a bit while we were having the dessert banana and ice cream. Had the round eye + meatballs pho, wife had some rice thing, and our older son a rice dish with grilled pork. Pho needed all the seasonings and extras to turn really yummy but I guess that the whole idea of the extras. Wife liked hers a lot, and the pork on my son’s plate was quite good.

So, overall, very good, especially for the price! Definitely worth checking out and going again.

And WOW on the delivery man bringing the money back! NICE!!
