Pho-Nomenal - Ashburn, VA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A local recommended us to check out Pho-Nomenal, a Vietnamese restaurant in One Loudoun that serves a little of everything - banh-mi, pho, and meat with rice or vermicelli bowl.

For drinks, Kishore enjoyed the Fresh Squeeze Limeade (quite refreshing) while I enjoyed a Honeydew Milk Tea with Boba.

For appetizers, we shared an order of Grilled Beef with Onions, which consisted of grilled marinated beef wrapped white onions. They were flavorful with or without additional condiments (hoisin sauce and/or rooster sauce).

The gentleman got different Banh-Mi's - Grilled Lemongrass Pork Sandwich and Fried Tofu Sandwich. It was nice that it could be served normal or spicy. Of course, both of them picked the latter.

My go-to pho is the Pho Dac Biet. The soup was flavorful. I liked how it consisted of a generous portion of different types of beef including thinly sliced eye round steak, flank, soft tendon, and beef meatballs.

When we went to pay the bill, we were told they do not accept AMEX and were glad we had an alternative.
