“Went here recently with my boyfriend and was unexpectedly surprised with how great the food was.They are extremely generous with meat portions and the broth was rich and savory. The staff were kind and helpful with ordering.The only con is that they only take cash, they even have an atm in their restaurant and the decorations are extremely dated. I thought it was somewhat sketchy but regardless I had a very enjoyable experience and plan on going again. It was very busy at the time I went around lunch hour 12-1pm but the order came out fast!“
“Consistently delicious! Our go to pho spot, we don't even have to say what we want anymore, the server knows our order. Service is great, food comes out fast. And it's the best pho broth around, we've tried almost every one in the area. They also don't berate you when you ask for Vietnamese egg rolls (delicious as well) like they do at Pho 75! I love that they have different size bowls too.“

“My friend and I had a delightful lunch experience at a Vietnamese restaurant in the area a while back. Spring rolls were cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and moist interior. Beef pho was warm and full of flavor. We loved the texture of the perfectly grilled squid in the mixed vegetable salad, which was even more delicious with the dipping sauce. The beef was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the rice. The interior decor of the restaurant was lovely, and the large windows let in plenty of sunlight. I highly recommend this place.“
“We gave Mari Sushi Bar and Lounge in Herndon a try for my husband’s birthday, and it is now my favorite sushi spot! Everything was incredible-fresh, flavorful, and filling. Hands down the best dynamite roll I’ve had, and even the fish I usually pass over were so good I kept going back to them. The sauces complemented the fish perfectly, I highly recommend giving them a try.“
“Sweetest little man seemed to run the store and did mostly carry out. New owners I believe, I inquired about a kids menu and the owner said they needed to make one for kids, Currently a small pho bowl will run you $14.50, that's too high for a kids meal IMO. Purchased crispy egg rolls and 2 pho well done beef. The food was delicious, piping hot and fresh side items bean sprouts and basil to add. Great service and we hope to see a kids menu roll out soon to bring our soup loving 4 year old.“
“Literally go at least 4x a week. Used to go to Pho 234 but once I found this place my family & I never went back. Their prices are very good compared to others. Quality, service, & atmosphere always great. Go quickly, you’re missing out!“
“This establishment is located in a former Pho restaurant, and I am pleased to dine here because it offers both Vietnamese pho and dim sum. I believe that these dishes cannot go wrong. Additionally, I am very satisfied with the service, and the cleanliness of the place is impeccable.“
“I've discovered another favorite local pho spot here! Perfect for a lunch break, especially if you're in Reston, VA. The food and boba here are fantastic. My go-to's are their beef Phở and grilled pork Bánh Mì. Today I tried their weekly special, Bún Riêu, and it totally hit the spot. Will definitely be returning.“
“Currently our favorite place for pho. There are so many pho places in NoVA but always hard to find good ones. So glad we found this place. We have been coming here to dine or ordering DoorDash from here almost every week for the last couple of months. Fresh ingredients, flavorful broth, good quality meat, always friendly service, competitive price, rich serving size and probably the cleanest and modern pho restaurant I have been to. What more could you ask for?“
“They missed heard my order over the phone and they were super helpful and kind to help fix my order. The young lady kept apologizing for the mix up but I told her it’s not a big deal. I payed 1 dollar less than what the original order was and I didn’t have cash on me and she said it was fine. Still I went to my car and looked for some cash to tip them. When they game me my correct order, the young lady gave me a free soda for the inconvenience. I will always come to the place for the gratitude and of course their food. :)“
“Came here during the weekend. There were a few people waiting for their food but we didn’t have to wait too long.We placed an order to go. We came back home to eat. Everything was packaged well and came home to eat. The sauce was really good.The restaurant inside was very clean. No complaints and parking was plenty.“
“Really solid food all around. Pho is always a hot topic for what place has the best, but this place is incredibly good. If it helps, I'm Vietnamese as well.Rice dishes, fried spring rolls, and fresh summer rolls (excuse my calling them by their weird English names) are all also great!Additionally, we keep returning for that and their great service and attentiveness and patience since we had kiddos, as well. Being kid friendly is a huge plus for us!Vegetarian options: Vietnamese food often has vegetarian options that are solid, and this place has them listed.Parking: Shared parking lot space with the neighboring businesses.Kid-friendliness: They're welcoming, helpful, and patient. Because they're really friendly about it all is why we return and tip so well.“
“The pho here is pretty delicious. It is very comforting, and has a great ginger taste. Not very salty, and a great balance of noodles and meat. I also recommend the joy rolls, and shrimp summer rolls if you are looking for an appetizer. Dumplings here are another favorite of mine. The servers are so polite and friendly here. Highly recommend!“
“Their food is impeccably delicious.However, the employees are not friendly and do not take good care of the customers.So it's a little disappointing.If they care about customer satisfaction, it will definitely be the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area.“
“The chicken is great and the owner is super nice with his services ! Hainan Chicken rice should be your must try and under $10 is an unbeatable! It’s halal chicken too!!!! Came with their homemade chicken broth when you dine in. Their fire grilled chicken legs are my favorites! Ordered the Vietnamese style chilli chicken noodle soup today and was so surprised about it! The soup is sooooo delicious and portion is as always amazingly great! You should not miss this place!“
“This is a lovely place for lunch or dinner, especially on a nice day when you can sit out on the plaza overlooking the lake. Very good quiches, salads, desserts and other entrees. Reasonable prices. I definitely recommend, particularly as a luncheon/brunch get together with friends.“
“What a diamond in the rough. This is one of those places that should be in DC with a 2 hour wait line. That's the sort of taste it has. Do NOT shy away from the homemade sauces they bring out with your pho. They're unbelievably tasty with a balanced taste, and it elevates your pho to a new level. Easily our new favorite pho place.“
“I’m no Pho expert but I do think this is good spot for Pho. Been here a few times during my lunch break. Each time has been good. My lunch break is 30 minutes, I’m able to order and eat before my break is up so for that, I think the service is pretty good. Simple menu. Just various Pho options and some drinks. Think the best part is being able to around $10 for instead of $15+ like other places and it still ends up being mediocre.“
“I was in the mood for a bahn mi a few weeks ago and found Banh Mi Kim Lan which has become a regular spot for me. The #1 bahn mi is my favorite sandwich since the meat is sliced more deli-like and the pate really makes it great. The pricing is very good in my opinion and not inflated like a lot of spots around Chantilly. They're also very quick so it's convenient to grab a quick bite.“
“Food is wonderful and my family and I have been here dozens of times. The place is always super clean and they have the best broth of any pho place around. The owner is quiet but very nice. A Herndon gem!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options. I have celiac and always feel very safe eating there.“
“This is more of a sit down family style Vietnamese restaurant where there is a large selection of vietnamese dishes instead of the limited selection of noodle soups. As such the Bun Bo Hue is the average type that you'll experience at most places, but the Bo Luc Lac is really delicious. I suspect the Pho will also be your average "good enough" pho, but at least if that's what you're craving for, it might just hit the spot.“
“Been coming to this Pho for years! Staff is very friendly and the owner is super kind too! Great atmosphere, although I usually order to go and the process is always fast and easy and the food is always delicious!My usual order is either a chicken fried rice or the white meat chicken noodle soup. Additionally, I love to come here for their Boba Smoothies!“
“Great pho! Super convenient location and friendly atmosphere for gmu students! The owner is super friendly and helpful with any questions. I’ve been here several times and always love the food!Vegetarian options: Both vegetable and tofu pho options!“
“Great authentic food, not for taking pics for IG or nothing, but great customer service, clean, great quantity, and tasty. If you like spicy and eat beef amd pork,.try their bunh bo hue! If you want some really good grilled meat, you cane to the right place. Try their appetizer grilled beef! Chef's kiss“
“Been eating here since they opened. The food is delicious and plentiful. This order, we had asked for our vermicelli bowls "as salads" as we often do, which means they skip the noodles and add extra lettuce and cucumber, but someone missed that and the food came the default way this round. Otherwise, everything went well.Parking: You can park right in front. There are plenty of spots.“

“We love supporting the local business. Staff is friendly., services prompt and the pho broth is delicious. We typically attend for the lunch special which includes a soda and appetizer roll and large broth for $14!The atmosphere is certainly not high class, but with good quality food and pricing it doesn’t have to be!“
“Yo restaurant industry is tough and reviews are even tougher. The old man and his wife still hustling and serving up their pho, vermicelli, & rice dishes after all this time. I don't know how many precious dining moments go unappreciated or bean sprouts don't get eaten, despite kids hungry in Vietnam itself. They're still there hustling, dishing and joking day after day, dedicated and able to smile with their resturant family & regulars.“
“Had lunch around 11:30am; not crowded so the experience should have been better than it was. First, the food was great; however, it became apparent they lost our order since it took more than a 1/2 hour to get served. At one point the gentleman who bussed tables asked us what we ordered and went back to the kitchen. More than one new customer came in and got served a similar dish (Pho) that my husband ordered before ours came out. Kudos to the young man for asking. Then, while we and others were eating, another gentleman came out of the kitchen with a large cart hauling garbage cans and proceeded to work his way through the restaurant and out the front and back again. This was in addition to our previously mentioned guy bussing tables. I get that need, but garbage…while people are eating? Still think they should have had the courtesy to go out the back door and around the building to the trash dumpster out front-just bizarre.“
