Stopped in on a Thursday evening with my wife. Great pho in a nice dining room. The good: the pho here is the best we have had in a while the menu and ordering process is automated by QR code this gives a lot of options to customize your order but do remember to have a phone with you. The dining room and service here is very clean and nice which was not fully expected by the sign out front. The spring rolls come with a real fish sauce, this can be kind of hard to find as a lot of places seem to sub this out for some other sweet sauce that's less polarising but I loved the inclusion. The mediocre: this might be a selling point for some but it was fairly quiet when we stopped in and overly sterile. Full automated ordering, payment and hand sanitiser set out. Again this was one visit on a slow day and for those that appreciate these considerations this may be perfect. I tend to prefer more human interaction.

My friend heard that Pho Junkies had one of the best phos in DC, so we stopped by for dinner last Tuesday. You can order via Toast by scanning the QR code that's unique for every table. PHO JUNKIES - ALL THE MEATS - 19.75 Almost $20 for a bowl of pho is quite pricy. They do give you a good amount of meats, though. The brisket and eye round steak were tender and juicy. I enjoyed the tendon a lot too. The broth was quite good and rich, and the noodles had a nice chew and texture that didn't dilute the broth with starch. However, the bowl was pretty small and I can't say it was worth the amount we paid for. After tax and tip, I paid closer to $25, which is almost double the amount I'd pay if I went to Pho 75 in Rosslyn. Pho Junkies is definitely one of the best phos I've had in the area, but not sure if it's worth it.

Stopped by for lunch today. Very good pho. Quick service. Nice spring rolls. Spot wasn't as easy to find - on the side of the building, so be sure to walk up First to find the entrance.

My friend and I ventured into Pho Junkies before a Nats game craving a warm bowl of Pho! I was so happy to find a pho spot in Navy Yard - a bit of a challenge when in the city. The ambiance is very calming and relaxing. We were seated instantly and scanned the QR code at the table for our menus. I went with the Steak Pho and was not disappointed! The broth was so flavorful and paired exceptionally well with the noodles and chives. The spice blend and fresh vegetable toppings throughout the pho bound the rare steak in perfectly. Loved the option for extra limes and jalapeños on the side! I want to take a moment to appreciate the staff! All were so kind and accommodating throughout our meal. I had to charge my phone and finish up a task for work, which was a bit stressful. However, the Pho Junkies staff made sure I had an outlet to charge my computer and provided us the best seating to feel comfortable. Great service! Will surely be back to enjoy a bowl of pho very soon!

I tried it today upon learning they now open at 12-2 for lunch, since i'm usually on way home before their 5p dinner service. Staff were very nice and courteous, almost too deliberate but adequate. Inside was minimalistic just industrial type bar with high chairs and simple wall bench and tables. Does look like a sports bar, masculine and clean! Now for the Pho bowl I had- I ordered all the meats, bowl was $21 plus tax & tip about $27 total. Bowl had lots of meats and well-proportioned noodles. It could use more greens but more importantly that the soup should, I mean should be hotter (temp wise) and should have more flavor. It was bland and a bit bitter at the same time-my after taste was more bitter, lingered in my tongue after i completely finished the bowl. Comparably to other Pho places in Nova (i.e., Pho 98 & Phonemal) where the clear soups are more flavorful, Pho Junkies missed it just a tad during my visit, which is to say it was bland, a bit bitter, and never mind they charge 30% more for a small bowl but it's DC, so... Still, I saw formidable yelpers gave this place 5 stars so i'll keep an open mind. Also pulled up higher score because the staff were welcoming and nice, so a 4 (vice 3 my initial thought) but herés hoping for more pronounced flavor of that soup next time!!!

As a newcomer to DC, finding a go-to pho spot was a top priority to fill the void left by my hometown favorite. Enter Pho Junkies, which swiftly claimed that coveted spot with its delicious offerings. The chicken pho, my usual order, never fails to impress with its flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. What's more, the service is efficient and hassle-free--you can conveniently place your order through your phone, ensuring a seamless dining experience. The ambiance at Pho Junkies is refreshingly casual, allowing the focus to remain squarely on the mouthwatering fare. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho or eager to explore other menu options, this place delivers consistently. In summary, Pho Junkies comes highly recommended for its delectable pho, solid service, and laid-back atmosphere. It's quickly become my new pho haven in DC, and I have no doubt it'll win over any pho enthusiast who walks through its doors.

Awesome Pho spot! The price point is a bit high, but the food was very good. The broth tasted great, and the beef was super tender. Would likely come back here again, but expect a slightly expensive meal (over $20)

This place is connected to the apartment complex on the corner so don't make the same mistake as me and get trapped looking like a fool! Don't ask how I know. I found the staff to be super attentive and respectful. The pho was delicious and a good portion. Priced well. I would come again.

How to describe my favorite place for a week night meal? Quiet, professional, great service, delicious food and a wonderful place to unwind after a long day. They just extended their hours and I'm so excited! I love coming to Pho Junkies after coming home from a long day at work and not wanting to cook. As soon as you choose a spot to sit, you are quietly greeted and served water. Order your food at your own pace from the QR code on the table. And then wait for your food. It's a small operation, so the busier it is, the longer the wait but for those of us who live in the area, that's ok. It's a quiet, clean and nice environment to enjoy conversations with a friend, read a book or enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer while you wait. And it's great to be able to leave as quickly or as slowly as you want since you've already paid! Plenty of space for singles, groups of two or four to eat. Lots of people come to grab some take out on the way home. Did I mention the food is delicious? One of the best parts, besides the fact that the broth is delicious and the ingredients are fresh and perfect is the ability to customize the pho. For the picky eater or the person who wants extra everything, this is the place to come. My favorite is all the meats but pho your way is a good way to go too!
