Pho Viet, 11th Street Nw
14 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/washingtondc17 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Pho Viet recommendations chiefly name its earlier 14th Street operation and spicy lemongrass pho. Its own website now lists the 11th Street NW address shown here, and an October commenter describes a temporary move during renovations. Fans praise the broth and one enjoys the atmosphere, while dissenters find the pho middling or less flavorful than it used to be. These accounts concern Pho Viet rather than the separate Pho Viet USA business.
