Best Pho - Herndon / Ashburn / Sterling area
I commute from DC to Ashburn daily, and some of those hours in monster traffic, the Pho jones hits me.
Some of the places off 7 / Cascades are more asian food types, than Pho shops. There you end up with a bowl of mostly hot water.
Who offers the best quality bowl of Pho in that part of N Virginia?
Thanks in advance.

Pho Reston 75 (NOT Pho 75 chain). Whiele Rd exit, turn north, go past the McTacoHut that's across from the Exxon and Fire house. At the next light, North Shore, take a right, the first left and you'll be in Tall Oaks. PR75 is down to the lower left of the complex. They have a full menu, but the pho is the star.
Pho 2000 in Worldgate at the Elden St exit in Herndon is also really good and they have a nice ranging menu also.

I had a time figureing out the directions, but is this the place? 12020 North Shore Dr
Reston, VA 20190
(703) 481-5935
Gong down 7 to 602, turn R, then L on to 828 Wiehle, then L on North shore?
If so, heading there Friday

That is the place. My directions were from the Toll Road.

Pho 2000 probably has the biggest ranging Vietnamese menu in the area & Pho wise has more than just the standard Pho combinations. Chicken in the hot pot is great there.

Pho Reston 75 does squid particularly well for a strip-mall joint. I like their seafood soup.

Pho 99 in the Clocktower off Centrville Rd/Toll Rd does a good job with Pho

Pho 75 in Kmart Center on Elden in Herndon. The only thing they serve there is Pho, so that beef broth is always fresh. Not fancy dining, but cheap, good & hits the spot.

The price is right .I love this place. Here is their phone number if you cant find them 703-435-9573

Saigon Pho Style is an authentic Pho place because they have one of the greens that you put in the soup that given best flavor, the owner told me "that's how truly Pho should taste" , I agreed , They also have veggie Pho there too .

I posted this earlier, but had great pho at Pho Bistro--best meat out of the lot:
"After introducing my retired father to Pho several weeks ago, we decided to try a new place every week for a few weeks. Here is what we decided are our rankings, for Pho and spring rolls alone. I usually just go with the Chicken, but I've had the beef at a few:
1. Saigon Star (Broadlands Plaza/Ashburn): GREAT Broth, far from bland
2. Pho Royal (Off 7 in Sterling next to cheap cleaners): Ginger-y broth, a little on the salty side but flavorful and loads of noodles
3. Saigon Cafe (near Regal, on O'Faolain's side): Best Spring Rolls of the lot
4. Taste of Vietnam (near Regal Theaters, next to the Bank of America): Did not enjoy the meatball soup here, the broth was bland too and I ruined it with too much lime.
So my recs would be number one and two, possibly number three. And we managed to miss a couple that were randomly closed on the days we went."

I lived in Sterling for almost 10 years now and being a true Vietnamese pho lovers, I know where to go to get real pho. I totally recommend this place called "Pho Herndon" in the downtown herndon area. It is the place that you get authentic vietnamese Pho and other Vietnamese dishes.
Pho Herndon is located on Elden Street, in the Bestway supermarket plaza. Their fone number is 703 689 8900. Let's get real with Pho Herndon! :P
