Pho Junkies

Overall this was a mediocre experience. It took more than 30 minutes for 1 bowl of pho to come out after ordering. (I know the exact time it took because you get charged for the meal when ordering and the Apple Pay notification was at 32min ago when my bowl arrived). I am aware that a dinner rush can cause some delays, but on a Monday and with only 3 menu items, you'd think they'd have a more efficient system. The mandatory order-by-phone system is also very impersonal and a bit depressing, especially when sitting at the bar, where normally things are more social and friendly.Because one has to order from your own phone's Toast app/browser, you also have to pay and decide on a tip at the beginning. This is also a suboptimal experience IMO, as I had no idea how the service would be at the time I was asked to pay.I will say that when the pho finally arrived, it was nicely presented in high-quality ceramic and the lime/jalapeño side dish was neatly organized. The bartender was quick to fill waters which was appreciated. The main waiter / manager did thank me for my patience after I inquired about the half hour wait after ordering, but it would have been nice to have my plate / utensils set in advance of the food coming out as a sign confirming that my order would be coming out eventually. Any communication really would have been appreciated.

What a surprise to have this Pho place in Navy Yard! I've been coming to DC for work on a yearly basis and stay nearby, so it's great to have a pho place within walking distance. I was craving pho and didn't want to take the subway north to grab pho from other restaurants. Initially, I tried calling - no answer and it said that the phone number wasn't taking calls. Then I tried googling the restaurant to place an order. The toast website that popped up first also wasn't accepting orders. I ended up deciding to do a hail mary and walk the five minutes. It's a little bit easy to miss because it's small/narrow. The QR code at the restaurant worked, but the servers had to note internally that it was a takeout. The menu doesn't have a lot of variety but I got the chicken pho with dark meat. There was very limited staff - 2 waiters and 1 chef? And this was on a Thursday night when the restaurant was 3/4 full. I ended up waiting a bit longer than I anticipated. Aside from the wait, the food was surprisingly good. Yes, I had low expectations because there wasn't a number in the restaurant name and the technological glitches I had earlier. The soup was warming and full of flavor. Noodles tender and the meat was not dry. Overall, a pretty good meal for a restaurant that is a short walk away. Staff was also nice and did their best to speed things up.

This spot is a little too fancy to have "Junkies" in their name. We came here for some Pho on our second night in DC. The downside is that you need to order via your mobile phone. I ordered a Meatball (Pho Bo Vien) Pho which wasn't on the menu. We had to flag the waiter and ask for assistance. The broth and noodles were delicious. The meatballs tasted clean but rather rubbery/overcooked.We also ordered egg rolls which were delicious but unfortunately only came with 2 which were cut in half. We had to order another plate to satisfy our craving. These were extremely crunchy and flavorful.Service feels like it is non-existent until you put your order in. Aside from the mobile ordering, the meal hit the spot.

My friend heard that Pho Junkies had one of the best phos in DC, so we stopped by for dinner last Tuesday. You can order via Toast by scanning the QR code that's unique for every table.PHO JUNKIES - ALL THE MEATS - 19.75Almost $20 for a bowl of pho is quite pricy. They do give you a good amount of meats, though. The brisket and eye round steak were tender and juicy. I enjoyed the tendon a lot too. The broth was quite good and rich, and the noodles had a nice chew and texture that didn't dilute the broth with starch. However, the bowl was pretty small and I can't say it was worth the amount we paid for.After tax and tip, I paid closer to $25, which is almost double the amount I'd pay if I went to Pho 75 in Rosslyn. Pho Junkies is definitely one of the best phos I've had in the area, but not sure if it's worth it.

My friend and I ventured into Pho Junkies before a Nats game craving a warm bowl of Pho!I was so happy to find a pho spot in Navy Yard - a bit of a challenge when in the city.The ambiance is very calming and relaxing. We were seated instantly and scanned the QR code at the table for our menus. I went with the Steak Pho and was not disappointed! The broth was so flavorful and paired exceptionally well with the noodles and chives. The spice blend and fresh vegetable toppings throughout the pho bound the rare steak in perfectly. Loved the option for extra limes and jalapeños on the side!I want to take a moment to appreciate the staff! All were so kind and accommodating throughout our meal. I had to charge my phone and finish up a task for work, which was a bit stressful. However, the Pho Junkies staff made sure I had an outlet to charge my computer and provided us the best seating to feel comfortable. Great service!Will surely be back to enjoy a bowl of pho very soon!

I LOVE PHO!!! In D.C. for a work conference and walked down the street for dinner by myself. This pho spot is perfect for that, the service was great even though it's intended to be hands-off. You do have to order online through a QR code but that was no big deal. The spring rolls were delicious! The pho broth was also delicious but the start of the show was the tofu. I wish my pho spot back home served their tofu like this - it was amazing.

I really enjoyed the taste of the broth and thought that it came out. Probably the hottest I've ever had. I do appreciate the order and pay for everything and be done, but I feel like I wanted some dessert and if they had that where I could see it readily available I would've ordered it. The staff were super attentive to all of my Needs especially coming around every minute or so to fill up my water. I will definitely be coming here again and I highly recommend this place. My total price for about $.20 shy of $20.

This place was so fire the food was so good. I honestly don't know how anyone could rate this below 5 stars.

Service was super fast and restaurant with clean with a modern vibe. However, I do not recommend getting the phone with tripe in it. The tripe did not taste like it was properly cleaned and faintly tasted of manure. I've had pho several times before in other locations across the country and have not had this experience, so I caution whoever is considering ordering tripe. On the other hand, my friend ordered the chicken pho and absolutely loved it. Her beer was great too. Hope this helps!

These guys are doing pho right. I'm new to DC and only out here for a few months on work, and man do these guys make me feel welcome. Very inviting with delicious food. It's a bit pricey I'm my opinion but it seems like that's just how the Navy yard area is in general.Get the steak and brisket pho, and you won't be disappointed.
