Pho Thu Thuy at 9627 15th St SW is my personal favorite.
It’s not the cleanest place I’ve ever been in, and the decor is pretty drab. However, the pho is consistently good. The stock is just right (not too salty, not too thin) and there’s always plenty of meat, cooked to perfection. Bean sprouts and other condiments are always fresh, like they’d just been delivered from the farm.
It’s better than any of the pho I ever got in ‘Nam, and that’s saying something. (Had better in Cambodia, but it’s not quite the same thing.)
I can’t speak to any of their other dishes, because I’ve never tried them. But the pho is outstanding and the portions are generous. A small beef combo is a meal, and then some.
