Default Need a good Pho place.

Cambodian new year is this week and the GF wants to go out for some Pho.... yeah I dont get it either. Apparently there arent many good Cambodian restaurants. Anyway, I need a good place in MD to go get some. she has left it up to me and I have only had it like 3 times in my life (and loved it) I would even consider places right inside the beltway.

Thanks guys.

Pho -1) a Vietnamese soup consisting of thinly sliced meat, vegetables and noodles; 2) slang or colloquial pronunciation of the word "for" usually among minorities [e.g. We're planning to go out for BBQ after work Keshawn, would you like to join us? Word? Pho' real? What time y'all goin'?

John go to Pho Dat Thanh! It tastes pretty good and the seating is comfortable unlike most ghetto Pho places.

Honestly... I don't even know.

The thing is... my grandma is Vietnamese so my mom learned everything from her. So when my mom cooks, which isnt often, she cooks Vietnamese dishes.

Thanks. I was just wondering about this the other day while I was washing my car. So many on here always talk about it (and I was hungry while washing my car )

Ahn, if Im not mistaken, theres a Cambodian joint in Chinatown in DC. IIRC Cambodian food should be pretty similiar to Thai and Laos food. Little bit of different spices.

OT: isnt there like 27 vietnamese restaurant at Eden center? Which one to go to?

Thai new year was sunday and I missed it because I was in NC. Damn all the good food. Gone
