Pho 81

Honestly the best pho in the DMV. Every other spot either has inconsistent days eith their broth, or its routinely not strained enough - very fatty. Pho 81 takes the time to take care of their broth properly. It always tastes the same - perfect. I've come here more times than I can count over the last couple years and I'm telling you, they've never had a bad or "off" day. It. Always. Tastes. Perfect. They learn your tendencies and do what makes you happy without even having to ask. This is the most consistent, delicious and welcoming pho restaurant I've ever been to. I dont know why it took me so long to write a review but its deserving. 11 out of 10 ❤️

Very nice authentic Vietnamese place. Food came quickly enough and was tasty. My fried rice with shrimp was excellent, but my husbands chicken with vermicelli noodles was missing something, hence the 4/5. The place itself was clean and pleasant and the staff friendly and competent.

as someone who is Vietnamese, I would say this is great pho spot! $14 for a small bowl of the house special pho with all the meats. really filling (they don't skimp!) and good broth for the price. service was friendly and attentive despite being a little busy during dinner time. the place looked clean.

The young server was so patient and kind and low key it’s a small spot right in Germantown but tbh pho was soo fresh and tasted authentic! The coffee was ok very strong. But the lady were very kind. And I wanna say thank you for poring my coffee. Great low key pho spot

Has a bit of a limited menu compared to other places but they executed the food very well. The summer rolls were good but a little heavy on lettuce. The pho was very good the broth was full of flavor and had a little bit of oil on top which makes it all the better. The service there was good and the people are welcoming.
