Pho Hoa Binh Restaurant

Feb 2023 We first came here at the tail end of noon on a Sunday. The place was empty when we arrived, but filled up quickly after 1pm. The place is dimly lit and decently clean with music playing in the background. They have 2 small tables outside on their porch. Note that this place is located in a busy shopping area (most of the activity at the Megamart) and the area itself is on a slope. I advise caution in the parking lot. The staff here are friendly and the service is quick. You pay at the counter after you're done and they do accept credit card. Something I found interesting is that they have a bench by the counter, presumably for if you're waiting for a carry out order. The food here is pretty good. The peanut sauce for the imperial rolls actually has peanut flavor. The pho broth is also very good and they give a decent amount of meat and noodles for the price. For the Vermicelli dishes, they offer choice of thin or thick noodles. These noodles are round and chewy, though the thick noodles are obviously more chewy than the thin noodles. They are also served with the cucumber cut and arranged into a heart. The meat with the vermicelli is marinated and a little too salty. The carrots are also marinated (sweet and sour). I ordered a Taro Smoothie, which was more like a slushy. There was a good amount of taro flavor, but honestly too sweet for my liking. Overall, would come again.

This place all around was pretty good. They keep it very clean which makes the experience very nice. Their food presentation is also good. The food itself does hold you over if you have a craving for something specific. I’ve been craving Banh Xeo for awhile now and this is the only place I can find that serves it!

This is my go to pho spot when im in the rockville area. I usually get lunch here.

I've been coming here for a long time. A friend introduced me to it and it has been my go-to spot ever since. Over the years I notice this place has become more refined and looks nicer. It really has incredible potential and I really hope they keep going in the direction they've been going in. The food is very good. My wife and I love their pho. At one point, the food quality was inconsistent, but lately it seems the owners become more involved or something. The place is also consistently cleaner. I've always liked this place and am glad to see they're consistently improving.

As soon as I came in the smell hit me and I thought to myself this is going to be some good food. Turns out what I got was delicious and full of taste. Staff were friendly. :)
