    First time here recently for lunch—inside decor is beautiful and bougie looking, not what I was expecting for a pho place! There’s even a full bar! Started off with Gỏi Cuốn (fresh spring rolls) which were okay and oddly did not have any pork, just shrimp. My friend and I both got the Bún Riêu Cua Dồng (tomato based vermicelli noodle soup with crab meat)—the broth lacked flavor, we had add extra seasoning/sauce to make it more flavorful, and also, there was not a lot of crabmeat (riêu) itself but lots of additional toppings that I did not think was necessary. The Bùn Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (vermicelli with grilled pork and crispy spring roll) was pretty good! Got the Phở Dena Special (beef noodle soup) to go and ate it the next day—broth was well flavored and decent amounts of beef/noodles. Service here was great—even got a chance to say to the owner Frank. And good variety of dishes on their menu!

    I don’t know what happen with this place. Used to good and serve a good amount of veggies but i gave this place 3 times. 3 times i was here recently, the vegetable for 2 bowls all came out like this. I paid $20 for food and received like this. Never come back!

    Wanted soup so I chose to have Pho for the first time- so happy it was at Pho Dena! Who seemed to be the owner was so welcoming and kind, our waitress was happy to help us choose which option I’d like best and she was right! Will be returning 🤗 for your assistance- here are before and after PHOtos

    This place is a gem. Very good food. Ordered the shrimp toast and beef rolls for apps then the house special pho. So good. Our waitor was training someone on pouring beer I believe and offered and gave us 2 ice cold glasses ofg Sapporo for free. My 3rd time there, 3 good experiences in a row. Will be back. 4.7/5

    🌟🍜 Pho Dena in Pasadena, MD is such a great new spot! The place is super clean, modern, and welcoming 😍✨ The food is fresh and delicious — the pho broth is flavorful and the portions are generous 😋🥢 Staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better 🙌💯 However, its kinda pricey compare to another Vietnamese restaurant in DMV. But Definitely coming back soon! ❤️🍽️
