I was really disappointed last night! I decided to try Pho Tan Vinh for the first time since it was the closest option. We eat pho often and can easily tell good from bad. After ordering takeout, I was excited to try it at home. Unfortunately, the cilantro looked stale, so I had to remove most of it. The noodles were tough, even after soaking in the reheated broth for a while. On top of that, my chicken pho had an unpleasant bitter aftertaste that made it difficult to enjoy. I couldn’t even finish my meal. Such a letdown!
The Vietnamese coffee was okay, nothing special in my opinion. It was too small and much too expensive for what it was, it was more than five dollars for a very small cup. It also did not come with any extra hot water or the coffee filter and strainer where the coffee grinds are kept, as it does in the Vietnamese restaurants that I have been to in Arlington or Fairfax. It almost tastes as though it was made with instant coffee, too, but it was not bad. The little bowls where
I’ve walked past this place many times and finally visited recently with some friends. We ordered summer rolls, vegetarian pho, Pho Tai, and the Pho Tan Vinh. The beef broths were incredibly rich with very little MSG, so you don’t feel dehydrated afterward. The meats were fresh and thinly sliced. The vegetarian pho uses a completely vegetarian broth, confirmed by asking several servers. The location is convenient with plenty of street parking available.
Pho Tan Vinh, a cherished staple in Silver Spring, serves up tasty and genuine Vietnamese cuisine at budget-friendly prices. Conveniently located with a clean setting and welcoming staff, it provides a pleasant dining atmosphere that makes it a top choice when you’re nearby. It’s also excellent for online pickup orders. Highly recommended!

This was a solid bowl of Pho. Broth was flavorful and had a good amount of Star Anise in it. The Beef tasted fresh as well as the bean sprouts and Thai Basil? I was pleasantly surprised.
The pho was exceptional. However, the veggie bowl seemed to be missing some vegetables. Nonetheless, everything that was included was fantastic. I can't wait to try more dishes!
