The Pham 440 Prospect Boulevard, Frederick, MD 21701

"I like to go to hole in the wall places, small businesses. I went on a Thursday afternoon, and it was sadly empty. This made my decision even better because i prefer supporting small businesses. The waitress was super friendly, addressed me with a smile and sat me down with a menu. So I ordered the Vermicelli Lemongrass Pork with a Vietnamese Coffee. The main dish came with pickled carrots, cucumber, onions, bean sprouts and fried onions, and 1 spring roll cut in half. You also get a bowl of their fish sauce to pour into the meal, making it wet, but not soupy, just enough for to mix with the noodles. The main dish was about $17, I thought it was a little high for its location, but the serving can feed 2 people, in my opinion. So don't let that scare you into ordering it. The Coffee was $6, again I thought was high, but Starbucks cost more and this came to me fresh, so the price is justified. She brought it to me still dripping from the press that sits on top of the cup that is filled with carnation milk. Once it stops dripping, just stir it with the milk and then pour over a tall cup of ice. It was delicious! All in all, my food was delicious and filling! My waitress kept checking on me and making sure I was taken care of. I am saddened that the whole time I was sitting there, no one else came in. I do hope it changes! Give them place a shot, I enjoyed my experience!"

"Arguably the best pork banh mi sandwich I have ever eaten. Elite."

"We were so glad we came across this Viet restaurant in Frederick! The food was incredibly authentic. Their Phở was flavorful and savory, and the meat was all so tender (we ordered one Special and one Brisket, and they were both delicious!). The Cà phê sữa đá, Vietnamese condensed milk coffee, was served with a phin coffee filter, making it feel just like we were back in Vietnam. The limeade, hand-squeezed and fresh, also tasted so good. They were even considerate of our request for red chilies with fish sauce. Couldn't ask for more delicious, comforting, authentic food plus welcoming, kind customer service - we can't wait to come back again soon!"

"The Pham is literally one of mine and my partner's most favorite Pho spots in the DMV area. Not even exaggerating here. It's really hard to beat and you can rest assured, you won't be dissapointed! The steak/brisket and chicken Phos are divine, I love the Banh Mis, tasty summer rolls, can't get enough of the salt and pepper tofu with a side of rice, I savor every bite of the grilled shrimp and chicken skewers, and oof, let me not forget about the delicious vermicelli noodles. *drool* I don't eat pork, but my brother does and he is forever going back for the Grilled Lemongrass Porkchop. The Pham is a small family owned business so go support your neighborhood mom & pop restaurant. The owners are such good hearted people and I love chatting with them whenever I visit. The food is authentic, flavorful, and worth the wait. Trust me. :)"

"The restaurant may be more basic but makes up for it with good food and service. Unlike other places the pork chop was thicker and grilled more like a steak. The accompanying salad makes for a complete meal. The phi had an option for just beef balls. We also enjoyed the ice coffee served the Vietnamese way."
