Above average pho. Broth is the best! And the house hot sauce is the key. Lemongrass beef also excellent. Try the fatty flank for maximum flavor
Good pho, and decently priced! Service was fast, and the meal came with green tea. The fresh shrimp rolls were also delicious. The small order of pho is enormous...can't imagine what the large order would be like!
Pho Tai Nam. The broth was a touch sweet but very tasty. In particular I enjoyed the sweet chili sauce that came with the sprouts and basil as that added a unique flavor to the soup.
Pretty decent Pho. A little sweet but good. Quality of beef was very good. Service was typical of Pho places, a little mechanical but efficient. Certainly beats the crap out of Than Bros down the the street, which only stays open because it's cheap and their customers have pretty non-discriminating tastes.
Quick, light and cheap. We stopped in and had lunch Saturday afternoon. After the normal argument over to Pho or not to Pho, I won and Kelly agreed to eat there after she viewed a nice grilled dish. I love Pho and she thinks it tastes like swamp water so we go bout after bout over this. I normally lose because most PHO place only serve PHO. Cyclo is great because they have a varied menu. We both ordered chicken. Kelly had grilled chicken and rice and although the argument for PHO, I opted for chicken with veggies and rice noodles. The noodles were a tad dry, but the chicken was good for both of us and my iced tea was great. I will go back just for the iced tea! The food is light and seemingly healthy. It was quick clean and inexpensive. It isn't going to burn up the local food awards, but it was a solid quick eat.
First off, the mural they have going around the entire store is amazing! I went to Pho Cyclo not expecting much but I was thoroughly pleased by the time I had to go. The Pho tasted hearty and not watered down. The price was also reasonable for a large since other places charge you more and give you less. The person who went with me ordered the chicken Pho and said they actually used real chicken! I am Vietnamese myself and I was really impressed with the environment and the cooking. They also played classic RnB music which made it a lot of fun to listen to! Overall, even though Pho cyclo does not offer cream puffs...there's one thing that they offer that's different from the rest and that's class. I highly recommend Pho cyclo for any of your Pho cravings if you're ever in the capital hill area. (also, if you have the patience to find parking) Its also recommended that everyone should try their slow drip coffee with ice & condensed milk.
Veggie Pho. It's hard to get vegetarian pho that fulfills the craving, but Pho Cyclo does a great job. Their vegetarian broth and all the fixins make their veggie pho delicious.
Could have better service. The food is good and the facility pretty clean. the service needs improvement. the wait staff tend to do things at their own pace. if you go, don't expect a hare but rather the tortoise.

Excellent!. Very yummy Bun; the spring rolls, I could take 'em or leave 'em.
Awesome Bahn mi!!. Their bahn mi sandwiches are amazing and addictive. I highly recommend the grilled pork. I am not a huge fan of their pho, but the sandwiches are definitely a highlight. Their egg rolls are also great - some of the best on the hill. Bubble tea is more like a shake here, it's decent.
This place rocks! Great service, solid location, and tasty food! The pho is always great on a colder day and the broth has good flavor that you can spice it up! Potstickers are the perfect crispiness!
I’m so happy PHO this meal - potstickers are a bonus!

Ordered through Doordash (had a terrible delivery experience, but not blaming the restaurant for that) and ordered a tofu bahn mi and the tofu ginger lettuce wraps.
Tofu bahn mi: 4/5 Not bad, especially for the price. Didn't grab a photo unfortunately as I was starving when my food arrived. I liked that the tofu was marinated and flavorful. I would have like a little more veggies, but can't complain for 5 bucks.
Ginger tofu lettuce wraps: 5/5 These are delicious! The tofu and mushrooms are super saucy and flavorful. It comes with pickled carrots and radish and a sweet and sour sauce -- all of which go really well together in the lettuce wraps. It's a pretty good amount of food for one person and I would probably come back to order this.
Will probably give them another shot since I like how they prepare their tofu so much in both these dishes.
