Nam Pho

Amazing food and service! I was impressed with the quality of food. I ordered spring rolls, vermicelli with pork, and coconut water. Vermicelli with pork was the star dish. I enjoyed every bite of it. The coconut water was perfect, with a large piece of actual coconut in it. Very satisfied with this restaurant! I'm still thinking about their house made siracha! The server was kind and helped me charge my phone. Overall, it was a great experience. I will definitely be returning to try their other dishes on the menu!

I used to visit this place often. I stopped coming when my last visit was a little less than pleasing.Anyways, decided to give it a try again. Mind you, It's a 40 minute drive for me so I passed quite a few Pho places on the way. Today was meh. It was basic. Nothing special.Things really get interesting if you don't like something or point out an errorFor example, the fried spring rolls says it comes with three. I was served two. If you're not going to update the menu, please train your staff to share the update if and when a client orders that item. I ordered the lime drink. I've gotten this at least six times in the past. It was God awful today. My server took it back to the kitchen and the woman owner was not having it. She added more ice and lime and told him to bring it back to me. I didn't ask her to do that. Ma'am, it's nasty!!! It's bitter. It's missing mint. It's missing something key...it doesn't look like it used to look. I don't want it and therefore you can't force it on me. When I asked to have the drink removed from the check, the female owner came out of the kitchen and asked what's wrong. I told her "it's nasty!" Oh ...she was seeing red. Angry. She said many other things like the palm sweetener comes from Thailand and she doesn't have it, etc. Ma'am ....share all that before I place the order.What's interesting...one of the customers across from me had the same disposition as the female owner and she received much better service. Maybe it's cultural, I don't know. The customer (maybe she's a friend) yelled out "where's my water?" Then when a bowl was brought to her, she said "I want regular. Take it back." All was well when she complained. And the customer was loud. I was shocked when another table of diners got up to leave and the loud customer said "You're so skinny," to the stranger walking by. You could see it made the lady leaving uncomfortable. What an awkward lunch. I don't miss this place as much as I thought I did. It's all good...until you don't like something. The female owner gets very defensive. How do you improve if you're not open to constructive criticism?

Another year down and the pho is the best around. OMG, I drive past at least 3 other pho places to get to this broth. The homemade hot sauce is the so fresh and spicy that it makes any dish better. I can honestly say that I feel like family every time I come here and the food is always the same.......perfect

This place does Pho right! My friends and I ordered a couple of Pho speciality Dac Biets to go. I added a Vietnamese coffee and a passion fruit drink to go as well. Wow definitely order these drinks as the coffee was strong and the fruit drink had so much fresh fruit in it. All of the food was neatly packaged and they give you plenty of meat. The flavors were on point. Aromatics, fresh ingredients and a really rich broth make this my favorite Pho spot in the area.I stopped in to pick up the food on a busy Friday around noon and this place was packed. Most of the tables had diners and the chefs in the back were busy making orders. The kitchen looked small and I would say be patient as they had a lot of online/ phone in orders to fill. The staff was friendly and I recommend getting their house spicy sauce. There's a lot of peppers in it and it's a richer sriracha. Yelp reviewers got this place right and they even received a Yelp award in November 2023 for being one of the highest rated restaurants in the area. The broth was so good I even saved some for later. Prices are a bit high compared to other spots, but remember it's Annapolis. I'll definitely be back to try their other speciality dishes.

The Pho was excellent! Best I've ever had, so much flavor. Definitely a local stop to check out. A+++

Went for pho with my parents for early dinner on a Monday afternoon. No wait time. The service was nice and found out that the cuisine was from the southern region of Vietnam. Strong on the lemongrass. Serving size is smaller than other Vietnamese restaurants I've had in other states (in the Northeast). They make their own hot sauce. Inside is a regular Vietnamese restaurant interior/vibe.

This place is great. It is some of the purest Vietnamese food you will find anywhere, made with pride and frequently changing specials that you will not find anywhere else.My problem is I really like PHO, and their PHO is great! I typically get traditional beef Pho with eye round (Pho Tai) and sometimes with brisket. It is excellent and the broth is a little different each time you go. The Pho Ga is excellent also though and that is not what I typically get at other Pho places. It is great here.So what is the problem? The problem is EVERYTHING is good! You have to try the rice and noodle bowls as well as the specials. My favorite bowl is the Fried Spring Roll Vermicelli; it is a large portion of a sort of salad/rice-noodle dish. It is excellent.Instead of Sriracha they have a homemade chili sauce that they make from scratch every few days. When you eat in house you get a squirt bottle of it at your table, but if you get it to-go they charge for a side because the peppers cost quite a bit that they make it from. It is flavorful but also packs some heat! Use sparingly.The owner, Jenny (sp?), is very friendly and very proud of the food that they cook. Ask her questions and she will tell you all about the process and often walks things out of the kitchen to show you how it's made. I have never had this kind of friendly pride in any restaurant, let alone a Pho place.I used to have an issue with the prices, as it definitely costs a bit more than your typical beef noodle soup spot, it is worth it though. A large is $16-$19 depending on the variety and if you like to order with iced coffee it'll set you pack another $9. So, as that can get kind of high for a quick lunch, sometimes I just skip the coffee and then I'm not spending any more than I usually would BUT, when you do get the coffee it is excellent. It's not one of the places that has a pre-made pitcher that they just pour over ice and hand to you. This coffee is MADE TO ORDER served traditionally with the french dip thing over a glass in front of you.Anyway, give it a try. Go at least twice... once to try the Pho and once to sample something else on the menu or special board. Enjoy!

On my first visit this place was amazing. Stopped by today and the pho is oily and has a funky aftertaste. Too bad quality seems to have gone downhill. Also, for $18 I'd also expect more than 8 slices of the thin rare steak and I'm pretty sure the amount of noodles they provided was less than last time as well. Disappointing. I will not be back again.

This place has the best summer roll. I could immediately taste the freshness of the shrimp. And the sauce has a citrusy twist to it which I liked. But the pho broth was a little too dark. It should be a little lighter and sweeter. For $18 I expected a much better tasting pho broth.

Have been wanting to try this place since the rave reviews in the Annapolis take out fb page. Coming into the shopping center I had accidentally passed the restaurant. It's located where the China Wok sign is. There is a few bar stool seats and booths. Service was decent. The pho broth is darker than I'm used to, but full of flavor and still a clean broth. The summer rolls ($9.95) were pretty good also and had a decent amount of protein. The pricing for the portion is a little off to me compared to other places I have been. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee($8.95), small bowl of pho($16.95), with extra meat balls($4.75) and summer rolls for $42. Side note: they do charge for to go boxes but I wasn't aware until I got my check. Love that it's a family owned and ran restaurant would rank it as #3 in my top 3.
