We've been to Pho VN One in Beltsville, MD a number of times. Always friendly, reasonable, and a quick place to eat, we were happy to take baby there as we were sure they were family friendly. Plus, what better food to eat than a steaming bowl of pho when it's 100 degrees out?
Nana and I started out with an excellent surprise-- the mango bubble smoothie. A real fruit blend of frozen mango and a little bit of ice, barely sweet but oh-so-fruity with the optional tapioca bubbles. Yum. So good before we left we got a coconut one for the road. At $2.75 this is worth it alone to stop in and will bring me back.
We started with fresh rice paper rolls with tofu (not on the menu, but they never seem to mind) and with shrimp. Served with peanut sauce, they are a reasonable rendition of one of my favorite foods, although they could use more mint.
I got the vegetarian pho, packed with broccoli and bok choy and piled in the typical basil, sprouts and jalapenos. But the best surprise was the jumbo onion in vinegar for 85 cents-- crunchy and sweet onion to add to your pho. It was a new favorite and I can crave it already.
Child friendly? Yes, there were other babies in there and if your kids like the two things they offer: pho and spring rolls, it's a great place for them. Take a trip some time and check it out.
