PHO 5UP - Annapolis

Little spot in Annapolis, MD.
Wanted Pho while in the area, glad I stopped here.
Soup and tea came out quickly and hot!!

You can seat yourself. Nice little spot. The young lady was very nice.

It was great to find another location of my favorite Pho restaurant (pho 5up Crofton )

They might need to battle it out for my love because they make fantastic tofu and veggie pho with veggie broth. I cannot wait to try other things and compare what else is good here In 5UP Annapolis

Service is sure-fire; I have seen them be consistently friendly to carry out customers like myself and eat in alike

I've only visited a few other pho shops in the tri-state area and this by far has been tops.

To each is own and liking with pho, but I prefer my broth not too salty and depth of flavor and aromatics is a must. I also prefer a light broth. The accoutrements provided were as expected, and the large serving is acceptable. The water served in Mason jars with handle is a nice touch. The menu is not as extensive as other shops, with only a few apps and no hot pot offerings.

Service was friendly and food came out quick and pipping hot. I'll be sure to visit again when the hunger pangs for pho are calling.

For such a small restaurant, the food is large in portions and flavor. Their pho is excellent. The shrimp and pork shrimp summer rolls are my favorite starter. The service is good and food is served quickly. I recommend!

This has become a thing of ours ... finding a pho spot for dinner as we head home from road-trips. Today landed us in Annapolis heading home from the Chelsea match at FedEx field.
I was pretty shocked when my bf said let's get Pho. I was gonna aim for Caribbean I mean we literally just baked in the sun for well over 3.5 hours.
In any event here we are and I was thinking ok maybe I'll get a rice vermicelli dish. It would've been cool and refreshing-come to find out it's strictly Pho.
Now that we kinda have sample Pho's across a few states now we've become quite the judges. Flavor profiles and meat to noodle,noodle ratios and of course price point. So here's how this place ranked.

Price is spot on! It's probably one of the most affordable ones we've been to. That said, they definitely didn't sacrifice on quality as both of us agreed that this place had the best beef to noodle ratio. Now that said my being a pastarian can and always wants more pasta n in this case Pho. The broth was not the best broth we've had and it certainly wasn't the worse. I do think that there should have been at least two meatball halves vs the quarter of a sliver that was in my bowl. Mind you there was a lot of meat just not the meatball. Is this the place to go to when you are craving food? Absolutely!! It was certainly a hit!

Great option for takeout dinner - the portions are huge so it served as my dinner, dessert, and more! Tofu + the spicy broth made for a delicious treat!

Back to my go-to for Pho in the area. They have gotten back to the consistent product I have grow to love over the last few years. A Finely tuned machine on the take out orders.....

Wifey and I generally roam to VA for authentic delicious Pho, however we have now found a place in MD and more importantly near a Trader Joes...LOL! We decided to check this place out and as always, my concerns with strip mall establishments is always a flag. I must say this one was very easy to locate, adequate parking and plenty of tables. The service was on point and the Pho was very delicious! I had the combo (everything from the rooter to the tooter) and Wifey had the Chicken. The size was perfect for the price point and everything that makes great Pho was fresh! Highly recommend this establishment and we'll definitely be back!

Service: 4 out of 5. It was good but there's plenty more room for improvement. We were immediately greeted with a kind and warm welcome by this beautiful young lady. We waited for less than 5 minutes for a table. (Around 1:30pm) . We were offered a high chair for my younger daughter but we politely declined.
We asked for NO CILANTRO for my child's pho.. but the soup was served with cilantro.

Food: 3.5 out of 5. Clear broth , very clean .. it could use some more spices, to our tasting. I had to put a lot of basil and chilli oil to my soup to give more flavor.

Ambiance: 3 out of 5. It was okay.. busy it could use some music in the background.

Yes we recommend this but we definitely had far more better pho before.

Love It. Súper casual. Simple menu. Easy to get a good meal.

The dining area is basic but works well. It's decorated with cityscapes. I enjoyed that.

The food comes out quick and I found It rather healthy. We will be back!

Parking is strip mall but ample.
