Visited for lunch and ordered the lemongrass chicken noodle salad bowl, which was a wonderful combination of flavors. The two included rolls felt like a huge bonus and I dined in to get the full effect. D.C. was getting an uncharacteristic burst of snow and cold and the large windows and concrete decor of the restaurant somewhat amplified the cold. But there were tiered seats with padded cushions that made the space more inviting and I would return.
Love this place, food is so good and it's awesome that they are open early and lage when so many other places aren't. My only feedback is I wish they made a lunch/dinner version of their breakfast buns. So good!
Great place for a quick late night bite. We came from the airport @11pm and were able to grab great Viet food here. Would recommend!
Love the salmon avocado rolls with cilantro jalapeño aoli. The braised brisket is wonderful -- however it seems to be only available in the bottom of the menu (pho tacos and french dip banh mi).
I wish there was an option to get their drinks unsweetened. Seems like they've recently added breakfast to their menu. If the kiosks are crowded, you can order from the qr codes in the seating area.

this place could have served dog food and I would have still loved it. After a long travel day into DCA, I was ecstatic to find this place open so late on a Monday. Though I do wish they answered their phone so I could have found my way in more easily. There are two entrances to 1800 (one on each side of the block). I had to walk around to get in.
Fast casual with mobile ordering for dine-in (no servers) so just be aware of that if you are looking for a ‘sit down’ experience. I also wish they offered more noodles in the pho! Seemed like one serving of noodles was split between the two bowls.

One of the best vegan pho’s in existence…and I’ve had a lot of vegan pho! The broth is 😙👌 and the noodles soak up the flavour perfectly. I didn’t need to add any sauces. My friend has the banh mi sandwich with ox tail broth and he loved it. I like that it has city vibes up in a high rise with view of the traffic below. Service was quick and friendly. Some spots of the place could use some care, like the wallpaper coming off in the bathroom, like a dozen air fresheners hanging in the bathroom, which made a very strong smell, and all the floor sitting cushions had foot prints all over them. Still giving it 5 stars for the bomb food!
Just got my order without sriracha, peanut sauce. The broth was almost unsalted and room temperature (team member told me: "you can microwave it but we can't do anything about missing sauces and utensils"), no problem, here's your review. I was planning on giving them 2 stars but then... I found a long black hair in my summer roll.
Solid spot for Vietnamese food. The service was very fast, but the ordering computer is a bit annoying. It's not exactly clear when you are able to advance to the next screen at times. They should fix it to be a bit more intuitive or easier to understand. Also, if there is no more of an item that day, it should be removed as an option on the menu. The atmosphere is calming but the seating is not very comfortable unless you opt for the ground cushions. I ordered the pork fried rice and then on another occasion I ordered a pork soup. Both were very delicious. The pork fried rice was a little greasier than expected, but was still good. Overall, this is a solid restaurant with a convenient location next to the metro.
