First, there seem to be a large number of reviews using the words “fantastic” and “best” and “finest.” I don’t see 65/70 reviews that are similarly effusive about restaurants that aren’t overpriced and under-portioned.Just sayin.The food is ok. The prices are insane. The service is shiny and bright. I’m just looking for affordable pho and banh mi.The Vietnamese restaurants in NoVa have figured out fresh ingredients, quick service, and REASONABLE prices.Seriously, you can do much better.

It was good, but expensive. My mango shrimp salad was supposed to have fresh mango, but there was no fresh mango in it. The pho was flavorful, but small and expensive compared to other places.Please look at your bill before paying. We never received an itemized bill and was handed a credit card machine with a fee of $80. The waiter walked away and I cleared it out and motioned for him to come back over. Our bill should have only been half of that ($25, $10, and whatever it was for two iced teas). He corrected the amount. Just pay attention.

Excellent food, beautiful decor, wonderful service. We tried Pho tom, grilled shrimp with rice, grilled pork patties with noodles and mango with sticky rice. All great choices can’t wait to go back again. Give them a try you won’t regret it.

Very nice ambiance & tasty food. I really enjoyed the shrimp toast, veggie & tofu pho with chicken broth--the noodles are fresh and delicious.
Visited for the first time Sunday. Staff was courteous, attentive and quite helpful. We had 2 appetizers and 3 dinners. We all enjoyed our Pho and the shrimp toast was very good. We will visit again for sure. The inside was spacious, clean and looked very nice.

This is the best pho I’ve ever had. I had the chicken pho, my husband had the grilled chicken sub, and we also had the chicken wings as an appetizer. We also tried the peach tea. All of it was absolutely fantastic! I think the prices are very appropriate for what you get. This will definitely be a regular spot for us!

Our family loved it! We shared 2 orders of spring rolls. We all had Thai iced tea which was a little smaller than we'd hoped for. My wife had banh mi bo-ne and it was delicious. My son had the Dena special pho. My daughter and I had the chicken pho with extra veggies. Honestly the best pho we've every had! We also ordered an egg coffee and mango sticky rice. As a bonus, we had great conversation with the owner Frank, he was very warm and welcoming. We'll be back, that's for sure.Kid-friendliness: The owner brought out some extra noodles and rice for our youngest.
