I remember hearing that this place was really good, or at least adding sate sauce to pho (I think there was another one near 7 corners). Anyways, the service was good, I was seated quite quickly and served quickly. I ordered the pho with everything, and I was disappointed. I thought the broth was flavorless, and the tendon was not soft. Maybe I should have gotten the sate sauce, but I still think the broth should have had more flavor. It was a disappointing experience for me.

A great place for Pho in an area saturated with Pho shops. This spot can go head to head with the other popular numbered spot. Easy parking is an added bonus.

Still the best Pho EVER! I've been dining with this place since 1999 or so and I still can't get over their seafood Pho with egg noodles and a shrimp pancake!!!!

They have not only renewed their menu with an increased price but the new menu without pictures like before is confusing.

Utterly Unsafe: Allergy Handling at Its WorstThis restaurant does NOT take ALLERGIES Seriously. So I am very much allergic to peanuts and I specifically requested no peanuts. My dish came with peanuts, which is fine, mistakes happen. However after I sent it back they came back with my dish, they told me it was brand new and freshly made, however I could clearly see they just picked out the peanuts of the original dish (image)!!! Not only did they lie but they did not give a damn.This is the exact WRONG way a restaurant is supposed to handle allergies. Lies and laziness like this could kill customers with similar allergies. I would also like to make it known, that I let the staff know my allergies and they still did not take it seriously.We even spoke with the owner and she did not give a damn either and just wanted us to shut up and NOT make a fuss. Would NOT recommend eating at this establishment.

First time at this place. I was in a hurry to order my food and go back home to continue working. As soon as I got to this place, nobody was even trying to help me with my order. I waited almost 10 minutes before I could order my food. I got the all meat 101 soup. I waited another 10 minutes to get my food. I rushed home after that. I live 15 minutes away from the restaurant. As soon as I started eating when I got home, I noticed a weird taste in the meat (see picture). They gave me raw meat. I don't recommend this place to anybody ! Not worth the wait !

Great pork taro egg rolls. Iced coffee with condensed milk as good as anywhere. Great cuts of beef in the pho and good amount of toppings. The broth unfortunately was kind of watery. Overall, good.

Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this hidden gem of a pho restaurant offers a dish that redefines noodle soup: pho with saté sauce. The moment you step inside, the aromatic blend of spices and herbs wafts through the air, promising a culinary journey that's both comforting and exotic.This isn't just any pho; it's a symphony of flavors and textures in a bowl. The broth, simmered for hours, is rich and deeply flavorful, laying the perfect foundation for the silky rice noodles, tender slices of meat, and vibrant garnishes of fresh herbs and bean sprouts. However, the real star of the show is the saté sauce—a chili oil-based concoction that is nothing short of transformative.The saté sauce, with its complex layering of flavors, brings a smoky depth and a gentle, warming heat to the dish. Unlike the overwhelming spiciness you might expect from chili oil, this sauce strikes a delicate balance, enhancing the dish's flavors without overpowering them. It's so perfectly tuned that you wouldn't find yourself reaching for the usual Sriracha or Hoisin sauce; the satay sauce alone is enough to elevate the pho to new heights.This restaurant's pho with satay sauce isn't just a meal; it's an experience. It's a testament to the mastery of balancing flavors and textures, making it a must-try for anyone seeking to recover from a hangover or simply just to warm up on a brisky day. Beyond just nourishing the body, it's a dish that warms the soul, leaving you with a lingering taste of culinary bliss long after the last spoonful.
It definitely a nice restaurant by all means.. but my tastebuds differ! Price point is quite good.. 2 large bowls of pho under $30?. Pho is too Americanized just the whiff of star nise.. (75) was way better!!

I recently visited this pho shop for the first time and found that my experience didn't quite live up to the high ratings I saw on Google Maps. The service was unfortunately lacking in attentiveness and efficiency, which detracted from the overall dining experience. Additionally, I was disappointed to find the noodle soup somewhat diluted, not offering the rich flavors I was anticipating

Get the 204. It's the only pho place that serves this. Amazing. I go to this place almost twice a week. It's by far the best pho place I've visited over 15 diff places in the area. This place is number oneStill the best pho around Falls Church
