Pho Thom

The food was great and the staff was super friendly! Hot food and cold drinks. Will come here again! Perfect spice level

I went to UMD from 2015-2019 and Pho Thom was always my absolute favorite, go-to spot with my boyfriend. Finally, after years, we went back and had lunch at the new location. While the vibes aren’t exactly the same as they were at the old location, the food was just as phenomenal as I remember. We shared the thom wings, thom ka ga, and pad thai and it all brought back such great memories. Seriously the best Thai food around!

The pho shrimp was really good. Could have more noodles IMO. The garden rolls were good, but they could also stand to have more noodles and veggies too. I wish the peanut sauce was a little spicier (I can't even believe I'm saying that) but it's just too peanutbuttery sweet. I tried the chicken satay too but forgot to take a photo. Very juicy! I've been twice now and I still want to try more. Very quick service for lunch.

Food is spectacular. Their chicken wings are really good, especially the sauce they use. The servers are usually at the front desk if the customers need anything. The prices are very affordable for the portion that they have.

Today I took my daughter to the University of Maryland to retake her graduation photos. Afterward, we stopped by Pho Thom for dinner. My daughter said Pho Thom is a well-known spot near the UMD College Park MD. We easily found the restaurant and parked at the nearby CVS lot, just a one-minute walk away. Pho Thom recently reopened in a newly renovated space. The design feels modern and clean, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The owner warmly welcomed us and shared that they’ve been running the business for about 15 years. They moved from their old location to this beautifully updated space. We ordered a bowl of Vietnamese beef noodle soup and a shrimp Pad Thai. I’ve tried pho at other places before, but the broth often tasted too heavy with MSG or seasoning, leaving my mouth dry. After eating at Pho Thom, I didn’t feel that dryness at all. The broth tasted light and fresh, and I could tell they used healthy, high-quality ingredients. My daughter also enjoyed her shrimp Pad Thai, it was flavorful but not greasy. This was the best Vietnamese beef noodle soup I’ve had in over 20 years. I truly appreciate how much care the owner puts into preparing healthy and delicious meals. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food here is always amazing. I have been a customer here for 4 solid years. Quality has not changed with the new place, however, it does seem like there are new staff. Overall, great experience and I’ll be back again!

This review is based on my pick up order. I did not dine in. I was greeted as I walked in . The staff was very polite. My order was ready when I arrived, and the gentleman at the front checked my ordered to make sure it was correct. The food was great. First time trying Pho and I truly understand the popularity of such a comforting dish. The broth was great, I love how the contents of the food were packaged separately. Chicken and broccoli was great as well. My family enjoyed the different sauces that came with each dish. The crunchy texture on the wings was perfect. I would suggest more of a ventilated top, maybe tiny perforated ones to help the steam release from the containers.

I had a fantastic experience. The staff was very nice and helpful. They were very accommodating and let us sit where we requested. The food was amazing quality and came out fast. We had the garden rolls, vegetable pho with chicken, and pad Thai. All meals were amazing and came out super fast. The Thai tea tasted amazing too. The staff was also quick with clean up. They have good music too!
