I've come here twice and it's been great both times. I've ordered the crispy whole quail both times, and it's delicious-bones and all-crunchy, but delicious. My boyfriend always gets the crab…

Pho 79 has some of the fastest service ever. You sit down, order, and within seconds they have your bowl of noodles. Even though this is probably due to the fact that they have all the food pre-made i

I usually go to Pho #1 down the road, but decided to give Pho Nam a chance on a day when the former closed early. I'm glad I did. The restaurant itself may be an unassuming hole-in-the-wall, and the m

Having not eaten anything of substance today, I actually wanted something greasier and heartier than Vietnamese food. Maybe some Mexican, or good solid bar food. HOWEVER, Jill really wanted to try the…

It is really such a shame that DC has no vietnamese cuisine that knocks my socks off (you must go to Eden Center). This is probably the only viet restaurant I've tried in the district, and the only…

Nam Viet is one of my favorite places to eat in DC. I pretty much always get the squid salad (perhaps the best calamari I've had in DC) and the Caramelized Ginger chicken. It is so good. I don't think…

I end up going here quite a bit with my wife, mostly because it is one of the better default Asian cuisines in the area. I'm a big fan of Pho, and we went because I was hoping for a nice bowl of Pho.…

My parents, who are spoiled with good Vietnamese food back in California, said that the broths in both of their bowls of Pho lacked flavor. (Or as my mom said- her pho was Americanized) I had the…
