Pho Viet USA - U ST — Restaurant in Washington

This is a new location that's been there about a month and used to be and kind of tight. My friend and I sat down and they had to move us because there was only one place they could put four people without putting them in front of the big fridge, which is where we moved to. The woman working there was very nice.

The summer rolls were okay although the peanut sauce was too sweet .. oh and most places give you a slice of lime with the summer rolls which they did not.

The pho was better and only comes in one size which is very large. The broth is good and the beef was vert good. Most places will give you more of the fixings like the basil and jalapenos and more than the one slice of lime. There is a special you can get with pho, a summer roll and a spring roll.

There is something about pho that makes you feel alive. Not the spice, though that comes later, but the intensely honest flavors. With nowhere to hide, the broth shines through, making it almost sacrilegious to use the sriracha or hoisin sauce that graces every table. Broth, noodles, and beef fill a bowl the size of a basin with a graceful sprinkle of black pepper on top. The complex aroma reaches you first and your mouth fills with saliva as it knows that something delicious is on the way. I’m convinced the deep, spiced, and unapologetically rich broth can cure anything- from a hangover to a cold to a breakup- it will fix you. There is no world outside when you are in pho Viet USA- it is the universe, and what a delightful universe that is. While the world continues outside, I sit and smile, empty bowl in front of me...

Ordered Nem Nuong banh mi and a Vietnamese Coffee for delivery. When the food arrived, the banh mi was DRENCHED in spicy mayo, to the point where the bread was completely soggy and dripping, and the wrapping paper was completely wet. This is inedible since you could only taste spicy mayo and nothing else. The coffee was not authentic, was watery, and tasted like powder/instant coffee.

I also ordered a side of corn& mushrooms, thinking that they would put that in the sandwich, but they were packaged separately, COLD and uncooked, with the baby corn and mushrooms seeming straight out of a can.

No napkins (or utensils) were included and it was a hassle to clean up the leaky...
