Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant

"Fair price and actually good pho with chili oil! And not just sriracha! There’s nothing worse than going to a pho restaurant asking for spice and they bring out a bottle of sriracha. But thankfully that isn’t the case here. Everyone is very friendly, comes out quick and the prices are fair. #4 (large) + spring rolls is the best in my opinion but I like a full plate."

"Came here with my partner to get some pho. These days I feel going to restaurants isn’t worth it unless it’s for food that is difficult to make — pho is one of those. The place had one or two other people seated for lunch on a Friday. We were told to sit wherever we liked. My partner got pho with extra meat, and they brought the extra meat out in a small bowl, which was great to see that it was indeed extra. I got pho without meat (their only option for pho <$10). They gave plenty of the classic toppings (bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, chilis). We also got the fresh rolls as well. The rolls were not as good as I’ve had at other Vietnamese places — there were no herbs in it which would’ve really improved it. The pho itself was delicious and definitely worth getting."

"1 of my many stops to try different phở in the DMV. this establishment offers a quaint, basic setting for your main Vietnamese dishes: soup, rice, and vermicelli. had the #1, or special I believed. it was good. nothing overwhelming nor spectacular. not as rich and lacking phở flavor from the spices. I did appreciate the variety of cuts of meat. also had the Vietnamese iced coffee. again, good but nothing spectacular. didn't taste as strong of a coffee flavor nor deep sweetness of the condensed milk. overall: a good place to stop by if you're in the area but doesn't really hit the mark for any wow factor"

"I can’t recommend this place enough! The service here is consistently great; the owners are incredibly kind and friendly, making you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The portions are generous, and the service is impressively quick—perfect for when you're craving a steaming bowl of pho but don't have hours to spare. Note for first-timers: They are closed on Sundays, so make sure to plan your visit for a Saturday instead. It's well worth the trip!"

"It’s a cute place! The people who work there are super nice and the food was phenomenal. One of the dishes I got contained grilled shrimp and usually most places don’t season the shrimp but they did and it was delicious. Highly recommend."

"Pho 88 is my happy place. Rainy day? Pho 88. Cold winter evening? Pho 88. Middle of summer and 90 degrees? Yep… still Pho 88 It’s a small, no-frills spot with plenty of tables, but the star is the broth, liquid gold, pure comfort, the kind of flavor that makes you close your eyes for a second bite. There are pho places closer to my house, but my taste buds refuse to settle for anything less, so we make the trip every time. The staff? Same friendly faces since our first visit years ago, which just makes the whole experience feel like coming home. Pho 88, you’ve officially ruined all other pho for me… and I’m not even mad about it."

"9/7/24 Pho 88 in Beltsville MD We had the standard beef soup and spring rolls. It was fantastic the place is small but nice tables and clean. Owner is a great guy. Dress as you like seat yourself. Chef makes spring rolls himself and they are the best I think I've ever had. Will definitely be back!!!"

"Great food and service. Lunch staff are always great. So much good pho in the DMV and there’s always manages to stand out in flavor and cleanness of the broth, also they don’t skimp on meat."
