“Pho has rich broth with good flavor. The host/waitress is excellent at her job, friendly, and has suggestions ready. Not pictured is the tendon (if you’re into that sort of thing) which was great - not overcooked but also not too chewy.Interior atmosphere is very calming.Also highly recommend the pho for comforting takeout (great for when you’re sick or you had one too many at the brewery the night before!)“
“I got a take out ordered of two large pho noodle soups for about $15 each. Small is only about a dollar cheaper. We ordered take out and the ingredients were easy to reheat and re-plate.The meat was still a bit red but was able to be further cooked once we reheated the broth. They thankfully pull all the sauces and garnishes to the side rather than other places that put them directly in the noodles so customization was a bit easier. Picking up my order was very easy as well and they responded to my order and prepared it very quickly.I’d totally love to go back and eat in store some time and try some of their appetizers as well!“
“I stopped in to try Pho 7 because they had plenty and free parking!I was seated promptly and my order was taken almost immediately.Very good and fast service.They have many things besides pho soup.I tried the garden rolls also which were great.I had the seafood p7 pho.I also had green tea.I highly recommend this place.Food was amazing as well as the service.This is my favorite Pho spot!Everything is always great!“
“The absolute best bun bue hue and the area. Soup has very good authentic flavor and very good portions. Bun bue hue did not disappoint. Maybe the best bun bue hue I've had in the area. It was my first time here found them on uber eats and went to pick it up cause it was cheaper. Can't wait to try there all beef traditional pho. I've literally been to a majority of pho places in there area this was is top quality. The restaurant name bistro speaks for itself.“
“Ordered off the lunch specials menu. Good selection, fast service. I like that they have tofu as on of their protein options. Tasty green curry and veggie spring rolls. Companion enjoyed chicken pad thai.Vegetarian options: Tofu is listed as one of the proteins-you don't have to ask for special prep of a dish without meat.Parking: Very limited parking midweek at 1pm.“
“I went to this place for my birthday and I have to say that it was a great experience. My family and I shared the Bún bò Huế (spicy noodles), hoành thánh chiên (fried wontons), Gà xào húng quế (Thai basil chicken), and Bánh hỏi đặc biệt (Vermicelli platter). The food was so good, my favorite was the Bánh hỏi đặc biệt. The owner went around to every table and checked up on everybody and our waters were being refilled constantly. Everyone was really nice. They don't typically do anything special for birthdays, but the owner gave me a free mango sticky rice!! Even after we paid and started to leave, the owner came out to us and recommended the ice cream place next door. I really appreciate family businesses and loved to see that traditional foods are still very accessible to people with dietary restrictions. I am 100% visiting again.Dietary restrictions: Many of their dishes can be made vegan easily and they have a glutton free menu.“
“Best vegan restaurant in Washington DC. I like spending my outing time there. It’s an amazing place the staff are nice and welcoming. I prefer eating mom’s tofu & brown rice with a mango smoothie when I go there. Please try that I am sure you will love it.“
“I did a carry out. Being my first time, I was given recommendations by what looked to be an owner/operator. He was very accommodating as was the young lady present who was doing most of the cooking. The food were fresh and delicious. A huge thumbs up!“
“Ordered take away on line and it was ready when I walked in. Ben searching for a place with a decent vermicelli bowl. This is the best I’ve had in the area. Service was friendly and quick. Online ordering was quick & simple. Definitely will order from here again.“
“Little Saigon in Falls Church near Eden Center is a gem. Upon entering, the cleanliness and charm of the venue, adorned with captivating photos of Saigon in the 60s, immediately stand out. The friendly staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, and it's evident that this is a family restaurant. The chicken pho is a standout, ranking among the best in the area, and complemented perfectly by the refreshing freshly squeezed lemonade.“
“The meal was exquisite. The dishes were well presented, creative and delicious as well as showing upon rather generous, dare we say it, North American portions. Our server (and others passing) was/were fantastic but we did sit at the bar and not at a table. This was a choice that we consciously made because we were celebrating our 19th anniversary sans children. Intimacy. A few reviews complain about price or the lack of selections on the menu. All we can say is: post-COVID prices have gone up significantly but that is true for everything that we, as a community, consume today. It might be harder to stomach the price increases for discretionary expenses like a fancy meal. In any event, please do not expect 1980s or even 2019 prices. Secondly, yep, it is pricey, but it is worth every centime. The "limited" menu is what really good restaurants do, not to gouge you, but to spoil you with a core set of dishes that will tantalite the palate of almost every true gourmand. NUE hits the mark rather well. Finally, one kink in the armor, is how food is served today and how waitstaff interact with customers. Partly caused by the clash of generations, e.g., servers and the served may have 30 to 40 years between them, partly because due to COVID the new wave apparently did not get to learn from the OGs who did not return to the hospitality business sector, and is likely partly due to the pace of life in the DMV as practiced by folks with maybe too much money. That service process part needs to be ironed-out, but it is not just an issue at NUE, but at most, if not all, DMV fine food establishments. We, for one, will be back to NUE very soon. We just need to save up for it and we won't have to wait a year.“
“Just looking at the picture I took has me carving for more. I got garden tofu roll and garlic steak over rice. The fried egg is not included by the way. You pay extra if you want it. The meal was nicely proportioned. Steak cooked perfectly in my opinion. Come with a salad. I demolished this this food. Love it! Quick service. I got my meal less than 15 minutes. Can’t wait to go back for me!“
“When I say this place is fire, they're on point!Hands down THEE BEST BANH MI in Springfield. The freshness, quality and deliciousness is unbeatable in every dish that I have tried here.Dietary restrictions: Vietnamese food is quite healthy.Parking: They even have a spot for quick pick up“
“This place is the ultimate sleeper. Came in sweatin a little bit because of the lack of asian representation in the building. Came out egregiously full and happy as can be. The man that runs this establishment was beyond kind and his granddaughter who served us was respectfully and also kind. On top of the excellent service, the food is what truly hit the spot. The pho was some of the best I have ever had. The broth was flavorful to the point no condiments or extras were required. You can shower in that stuff. The chef was generous with the meat and he filled our bowls to the brim. Pupusas also went stupid. Crazy concept to have Salvadorian and Vietnamese fusion but it works. At the end of the day, I satisfied two deep cravings of a gnarly pupusa and some refreshing pho. Absolute sleeper. Had to get rolled out the restaurant because I gained a solid 30lbs from our exceptional meal.“
“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.“
“Wow, what a beautiful restaurant and the food was so delicious. I love the decor and plants. The staff is outstanding. Their attention to detail is amazing. I loved my dish. I had vegetarian crêpe and a garden roll for an appetizer. Both were delicious. Also, the Vietnamese coffee was yummy.“
“Pho Golden 5 Stars in Springfield deserves five stars for its excellent food, friendly service, and clean environment. The bun bo hue, grilled pork rice, and pho were all delicious, and the staff made us feel welcome. Despite the quiet atmosphere, the service remained attentive. A standout choice for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Springfield.“
“I went in to order food to go and it was so fast, maybe 10 mins tops before I got my food and was headed on my way. A few other reviews said the people working here have limited English, but the woman who took my order had no problem chatting with me while I waited - she was super nice and welcoming! The menu has an English side and a Vietnamese side that match up, so you can just show them the number of what you want if you ever run into anyone with limited English. I'm not familiar with many Vietnamese dishes, so I'm excited to come back and keep trying more since the tofu dish I got was SO good!Dietary restrictions: The whole menu is vegan“
“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.“
“My family of 6 adults and one toddler went here on a Sunday Night. The food was absolutely delicious. One of the most tastiest and flavorful pho broths I’ve had in all of Northern Virginia. I got the crushed ginger (P2)The restaurant is small, but decorated beautifully with colorful lanterns on the ceiling as well as a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the corner. The only note I would make is I would prefer if there was music playing a *little* bit louder because it seemed too quiet inside.Our server went above and beyond to accommodate for our toddler, interacting with him and even giving him a quarter of a fresh avocado that was left over from a smoothie he made.I would definitely be coming back here because the pho outranks other pho places in the northern Virginia area.“
“Ordered shrimp garden rolls : they were pretty tasty. Little bit of wilted lettuce but good overall all. Fresh. A- Ordered shrimp fried rice : nothing special but good. C Ordered an everything pho (non seafood) : the soup came out Luke warm.. I was expecting a big bowl of "steamy" pho and received a bowl of disappointment... was sad.. D- Ordered the 76-86$seafood platter (forgot price) : Served on a huge tray. Again... food wasn't pipping hot as expected. Lobster was a tad bit rubbery. Shrimp were all small.. crab legs were average and both other crabs I ate were just ok.. meh. Everything was DRENCHED in garlic. I love garlic but damnnnn, I like to taste seafood too. Crawdads produce little meat. D Service was nice . A Overall sadly I will not be dining back at crabby noodles. Perhaps in a year or so I'll try again. "D" grade..“
“This Vietnamese restaurant boasts a modern decor complemented by traditional twists, delectable dishes, and attentive service from the owner.Parking: Locates inside Eden Center where it has a big parking lot, though it gets really crowded on the weekends.“
“The food is absolutely delicious and authentic! Highly recommend this place.Some recommendations for improvement I have for the owner: 1/Update the menu by adding symbols on spicy food/levels, 2/Have a sign 'wait here to be seated' so new customers understand they are not being ignored, 3/Have a sign at the staff table saying 'pay here' to clarify that customer need to go up there and ask to pay.“
“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?“
“The service is quick and on top of it. Not very big and can get busy. Do alot of carryout. The small pho ga is delicious and plenty of food. That is the go to. Also like the summer or spring rolls to start out. The rice dishes are good as well. Definite place to visit for pho in Burke!!“
“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.“
“The food was very good and the service is speedy. Nice menu with some interesting choices. I had the rice noodle bowl with chicken and spring roll. I've had this dish many times at many other Vietnamese spots. This one was very good. Too many bean sprouts in my opinion. But, I don't like bean sprouts. Great sour/spicy fish sauce. The chicken was not dry and had good flavor. I will go back to try some other things.“
“The only Com Tam Thit Nuong I've had that's better than this is my own Mom's cooking. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and now I take my own kids here. You absolutely can't beat the grilled meats with the runny egg on top ? sooooo good!“
“This spot is legit when it comes to Vietnamese food. It is a little pricier than the usual spots, but it is well worth it, and you can taste the quality of ingredients they use.The service is awesome, and they are very efficient.I love watching the Vietnamese cooking shows and the fish tank while I enjoy a meal.Try the Salted Plum Soda, it's my fav, I always get it to go for later, as I am so full after my meal.“
“The Pho Bo was wonderful! The taste was delicious, the meat and vegetables fresh perfectly complimentary to the meal. I do however regret my eyes being larger than my stomach and chosing the large size over the small size, but I ate my money's worth. I ordered a sweetened ice expresso that although tastey was not worth the price due to its size. (See pic below). But overall the restaurant was good. Clean seating, glasses, friendly staff, and I didn't even have to wait long for my food. Plenty of noodles and broth! 10/10 would come here again, based on what I've seen on other people's drinks like mine they are small, so just take that into account before buying because it is not like the pictures. I paid 16.95 (Small was 14.85), for a large pho bo bowl and could not finish it, I did notice that it costs 50 cents for each takeout container so if your a small eater either starve a few days before or prepared to chalk out some money to take home the leftover goods.TLDR:Good food, fresh ingredients, alright pho bo prices, disappointung drink size vs costWheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk is a little lacking in maintenance and a slight hill but you can make it here in anything with wheels. Minimal to 0 difficulty.“
“I’ve been on the hunt for authentic, mouth drooling bun rieu and the quest has been lackluster until I found this place. Walked in and immediately greeted by a lovely auntie, the owner and chef. She told me it’s a one woman show, and I can tell she put a lot of love in her cooking the moment my bowl came out! The crab meatball was massive and you can tell she used lump crab meat! There was also a unique herb that I haven’t seen provided. I can tell she doesn’t skimp on quality! Honestly, the prices were reasonable given the portion and quality.Even the complimentary iced tea provided was top shelf! It was pandan infused green tea that she said she imported from Vietnam from her personal family. Wow wow I’ll be back to support her!“
“Their banh cuon is freshly made and delicious. Staffs are super friendly. We also often order take out trays for family parties. It’s much easier to park in the back lot of Eden center and they are the first store from one of the back entrances.“
“Things to note:* only pho soup* can order small or large* can add a bowl of noodles on the side* cash only* no veggie soup options; so don’t ask* family/large group friendly restaurant* parking can be limited and people tend to drive a little recklessly —> so park far and walk off the extra noodle carbs on the way back.It’s fantastic, flavorful, and fresh!The noodles are great, the meat is tender, the coffee ????? slaps. I got the iced Vietnamese coffee with the crack- milk (condensed milk).It’s a family restaurant. Big groups, kids, and hungover college students reside here.Service is quick. Sat down, ordered, food came out in 5 minutes! And it was packed!Once you’re done, just go up to the counter and pay. Cash only.You can walk next door and grab rice cakes, tapioca cakes, or sesame balls. Can also grab Bahn mi for dinner later. The ? is ???.“
“I have eaten here a few times and am eager to return! Vegitarians and carnivores alike will be at ease here. Alex is an easy going, attentive professional who adds just the right touch to this establishment.The pho is the best I've had in this country. The spring rolls are crispy, generously filled and are available in 3 flavors including vegetarian. The pho broths also offer a number of different tasty bases including incredible ox tail and vegetables.One person I dined there with was very happy with their shrimp bowl. My son is a full on pho connoisseur and rates this place as a strong 2nd favorite in the country.It's not a place you go for the ambiance though it's not at all distasteful, just simple. If you are a sauce fan, ie for spring rolls, don't hesitate to order a second container.“
“Why hasn’t anyone raved about their Bo la lot? This place smells like heaven when you walk by it. So much that is how I got drawn in. The beef is so juicy and tender. And the sauce that comes with it is delicious, it has hints of ginger and garlic. Definitely a must try. I grab a tray to go every time I am in Eden Center.“
“Their nem nuong is a solid choice for lunch or dinner; whenever I am at Eden, I always order some for my husband. Their nem nuong is made fresh to order, and takes roughly 15-20 minutes to be ready. It is served with a special orange sauce, that is different from your typical peanut sauce or nuoc mam. It contains a grilled baked pork, lettuce, herbs, and a crunchy egg wrapper INSIDE the roll. The crunch egg wrapper is made different with each place that you go, but will always be the best ingredient in your nem nuong roll.“
“The pho here is great, but the other dishes are also really really good. It's always difficult to choose between pho and something else. It's still our go to pho place with the added benefit that you can get something else other than the pho.“
“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.“
“First time at Present viet restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. I was visiting a friend and he took me to this restaurant for dinner. I love vietnamese food, but I never get to try different dishes other than Pho. This time my friend ordered Banh Xeo, Bun thit nuong, and Bun rieu or Bun bo hue?. I really liked Bahn xeo it was very soft and creamy taste. The dishes came with huge servings and their service was excellent.I will definitely be back to try different types of food.“
“November 2023 - I've visited Hai Duong many times over the years. Menu has increased and it's a solid restaurant for pho and rice dishes. Though the last time the boiled chicken was dry. Friendly staff, quick to respond. Clean. Do recommend.“
“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!“
“I must say their banh mi is one of the best in USA and Canada. Yeah, I love banh mi, so I eat lots of places. However, I saw the young woman who's a cashier there, picks up a new bread that falls on the floor and puts it in with all the breads that they are making for customers. I was shocked to see that. I will call them back to talk to the owner or mgr about that.“
“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.“
“Dear Diary - great variety of Vietnamese food to try. The portions are very generous and all are prepared well with a lot of good flavors. The menu can be overwhelming, but give yourself some time to try various things over time and I would think that you will not be disappointed. Their staff are friendly and accommodating. Definitely a place to try if you want to avoid the crowd at Eden Center location“
