Pho Nguyen Hue

This place probably gets overlooked because there are many Phở places right around 9^th and Washington. But this restaurant has really decent phở served in typical generous fashion. Lots of sprouts, lime wedges, basil, and jalapenos to colorfully add to your soup. There are two soups bases: chicken and beef. They do not have a vegetarian broth.
Here’s really why I like this place:
1. there are a ton of Asians who eat here (so must be legit)
2. the owners although sometimes are perplexed, are really accommodating: I always ALWAYS order tofu and shrimp Phở. It’s very rarely on the menu since Phở is traditionally beef. They have chicken, and often they have tofu. But to have the combo of shrimp and tofu for some reason always blows their minds. But this place– always smiles, and says «especially for you.» Love ‘em.
And it’s fantastic to get Phở to go– they pack things separately so you can experience the joy of mixing at home. :)
Also, summer rolls are great! Large and delish! And if you’re looking for other options they offer a variety of other dishes including various congee recipes.
