Pho Bac

I come here all the time, and it’s easily my favorite pho spot. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu at this point, and honestly, I love all of it. Their pho is incredible, the specialty salads are always fresh and flavorful, and the pork chop is perfectly cooked every time. This is actually the place where I first fell in love with pho. I’ve tried pho at so many other restaurants since then, but nothing ever compares to this place. The flavors, the quality, and the consistency are just unmatched. Ms. Trang, the owner, is also amazing. She truly has the best customer service and always makes you feel welcome. You can tell she really cares about her customers and the food she serves. If you’re looking for authentic, comforting, and consistently delicious food, this is the place. H

Every dining experience at Pho Bac is excellent, with great staff and food that feel like home. This is by far our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city, and I love every excuse to go to Pho Bac. We most recently got their Tet specials for Lunar New Year, which were especially good. The braised pork and egg, savory rice cake, and house salad were a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and bright flavors. Staff and the restaurant were festive for the occasion. We will be making a visit to Pho Bac for every Tet.

This establishment is outstanding! Ms. Trang and her staff are the utmost hospitable and kind. We had brisket pho, garlic green beans, chicken bites, beef lemongrass papaya salad…5 stars! Thank you, Pho Bac. We’ll be back very soon!

Definitely a bit overpriced for what you get. Restaurant was extremely busy and the staff definitely seemed to be struggling to keep up. Ordered the fresh rolls, fried chicken app, and bun bo hue. Bahn mi was the best thing we ate here, bread was fresh and meat was well prepared. Bun bo hue was disappointing, it was not complex and heat was the main flavor that came through. Fried chicken and fresh rolls were good.

After the Baltimore running festival marathon, I was greeted with a casual and cozy corner restaurant with genuine Vietnamese cuisine and great pricing. The staff were extremely quick with the orders and keeping the place clean. Standout flavor profiles carried by ingredients, not salt or oil. Best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. I will come here again. You should as well.
