Lovely little restaurant where I ordered a shrimp summer roll and chicken lemongrass bowl. The food was flavorful. Sauce a tad spicy but not too much. Service was lovely.

I think people are sleeping on this spot. They are throwing down some great pho here. Yes, the interior seating is a little wonky but it gets the job done. Wonderful service and great food. Highly recommend.

Our group enjoyed a tasty Vietnamese lunch. The menu with its glossy photos made ordering food unknown to most fairly straightforward. My lemon grass chicken atop rice noodles was delicious. Now that I am aware of this place, I will definitely return.

Bethesda must have done something right to get blessed with such a great restaurant, I had the lemongrass chicken vermicelli and green tea, cold. My dining companion had house special pho. She was late, no mind, both our orders came within 10, fresh and amazing to taste.

Pho Viet USA is a Gem. A sparkling star in the Bethesda dining corridor. Not only is their food delicious and spectacular, but its beautifully presented. I have eaten here several times over the last 6 months and loved it each time. Their wait staff is personable, respectful and very helpful. The moderate cost of the food also makes coming here a great experience. Although I had a mishap with 1 of the delivery services they use (door dash) the Manager of the Restaurant was eager and happy to make things right. Thank you so much for making me feel valued as a patron. After Covid, many small restaurants like Pho Viet were forced to close. I'm so happy they remain a star in this thriving restaurant community.

I’ve been to many of the pho viet locations and this one is my favorite so far. The service was great and the food was good. I like this franchise a lot and the Bethesda location just might be my fav

I want to start off by welcoming Pho Viet USA to Bethesda, wish you the best of luck. I believe Pho is one of those dishes best experienced dining in at the restaurant but these are now the times we live in so takeout is what we get. That being said I really enjoyed my first time ordering from this restaurant. I ordered the summer rolls with shrimp and an all white meat chicken pho. The summer rolls were fresh, shrimp were quality size and packed tight. The peanut sauce that it came with was delicious, especially when you add a little sriracha for kick. The pho like another reviewer touched on, was large in quantity. The broth was full of flavor and they provided plenty of noodles. The part that was lacking was the amount of chicken. The quality of the chicken was very good but it was minimal. That’s why I'm giving four stars. When you're dealing with takeout you have to build a trust because the customer really doesn't know what they are getting until they are finally home and can look at the order. I also try to be fair, this is only a first order review. I do my best to update my reviews to keep them accurate and if my experiences change with my future orders I will change my rating. I want to be clear, I definitely recommend trying this place because the food is quality and full of flavor. *** With COVID-19 restrictions lifted I went back to see how the dining in experience was. As expected the place was very clean, the food was delicious and the service was great. They even have a small outdoor dining area. Please see pictures to get a good idea of the menu, restaurant layout and how good the looks.

As I entered, the subtle aroma of fresh herbs and spices immediately drew me in, promising an authentic taste of Vietnam.

At Pho Viet USA, the menu is a celebration of vibrant flavors and textures. Whether you're a fan of hearty rice dishes, refreshing salads, or the soul-soothing bowls of pho, there’s something for everyone. Here’s a closer look at some of the highlights:

  • Dried Noodles with Beef Vermicelli: Perfectly cooked vermicelli paired with stir-fried steak is garnished with fresh cucumber, basil, and aromatic Vietnamese pickles. A must-try for $15!
  • Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Noodles: This dish delights with tender chicken marinated in lemongrass, served alongside a medley of fresh ingredients—a flavor explosion!
  • Green Papaya Salad: A refreshing blend of julienned green papaya, beef jerky, and mint in a tangy Vietnamese dressing. Perfect as a light appetizer at $13.

As I savored my selection, I marveled at the attention to detail in every dish. The lemongrass chicken was grilled to perfection, offering a delightful balance of smoky and fragrant notes, while the vermicelli was light yet filling. The freshness of the ingredients truly sets Pho Viet USA apart, allowing each component to shine through.

What I appreciated most, however, was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. As noted in reviews, they make every guest feel valued. One customer, Liz R, mentioned the "lovely service," and I couldn’t agree more. The staff is always ready to offer suggestions and share their passion for Vietnamese cuisine.

On a visit, I stumbled upon a stellar review from Benjamin Hecht, who praised the rich flavors and quick service. This resonated with my experience—definitely a restaurant where the food comes out fresh and fast, perfect for a lunch break or leisurely dinner.
