Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant

My favorite place to get pho in the College Park area! Great prices, delicious food, good portions, and friendly staff. My sister and I come here almost every weekend, and have gotten to know the owners who are very friendly! Would 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.

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

This wasn’t my first time coming here, but it will definitely be my last. To start, my bowl and plate were dirty. There was a black substance on them, and when I pointed it out, the man serving me tried to say it came from the leaves. That explanation didn’t make sense, especially since he wasn’t wearing gloves and then tried to quickly rub it off before I could even grab a napkin to check it myself. The spring rolls tasted old, or the oil they were fried in was old, and they immediately made my stomach hurt. The chicken was dry and had a strange flavor, which reminded me why I stopped coming here in the first place. When I shared my concerns with the owner, she seemed completely uninterested. The husband who handed me the dirty plate couldn’t even deny that it was dirty. Sanitation is

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.
