I know folks were super excited about the Pho 14 preview a couple weeks ago. But I’ve been emailed some false rumors by multiple people that they will open on Sat. This is not true. I just spoke with one of the managers who told me it is likely the inspection will be held Monday morning. I have been told that I will be contacted immediately after they receive the ok. So trust me, I will make a separate post when they are open. And I’m just as excited as you guys, so keep your fingers crossed that the inspection happens Monday. Stay tuned…


Remember how psyched we were to hear about the new restaurant, Pho 14 located on Park Road just west of 14th Street?

Well, I was able to attend a soft opening for friends and family Sunday night and it was freaking phenomenal! Holy cow. All of the excitement and anticipation was worth it. It is so good. I had the Tai Gau (beef pho) which comes with onion, chives, cilantro and noodles. I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo but it comes in a nice big bowl and I was stuffed about half way through. There are 19 types of Pho that cost $8.95 for a large and $7.95 for a regular bowl.

I started out with a spring roll which was nice and fresh and comes with shrimp, pork, noodles, lettuce and a Hosin dipping sauce.

To top it off I had an iced coffee that was also really tasty.

The restaurant itself was quite comfortable with regular tables and chairs as well as a bar. So when will it be open to the public? The plan is this Thursday, March 19th but this is pending some final inspections. I will update as soon as it become final.

Full disclosure: since this was a practice opening for family and friends, I did not pay. This in no way influenced my description of how delicious everything was.


Sweet. Oh yes. This is great news. Thanks a million to a reader for sending. This is located on Park Road just west of 14th Street. As the reader noted to me this area is really picking up. This is very close to where Simply Soles recently opened up.

I really love Pho and I haven’t found a good spot near me besides in my old stomping grounds of Cleveland Park. Any other Pho fans out there?
