EVERYONE THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD! They have limited staff so the wait time is understandable even then I don’t usually have to wait that long! The atmosphere is so nice and friendly and the food!! It’s so good!! The prices are so great!! We usually get the Large Pho to share and that’s enough for both of us!! would definitely recommend if you’re an Pho lover!!! I have tried other places but this place just hits the spot!! Love the staff too!!! ???

I have been a loyal customer of this small family-run Vietnamese restaurant since I was just 11 years old, and now at 24, I can confidently say that their service is consistently impeccable and their food is always fresh and delicious.No matter how many times I visit, the warm and friendly staff always make me feel right at home. From the moment I step through the door, I am greeted with genuine smiles and a genuine desire to ensure my dining experience is memorable. It's remarkable how they remember my favorite dishes and little preferences, even after all these years.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! I have yet to find another place that can replicate the incredible flavors and authenticity that this restaurant serves. Their pho is a bowl of perfection, with a harmonious blend of aromatic broth, tender meat, and fresh herbs that transports me to culinary heaven. And their spring rolls... oh, those spring rolls! Crispy on the outside, bursting with vibrant vegetables and succulent shrimp on the inside. Each bite reminds me why I keep coming back.Even when I moved away to join the Air Force, my taste buds never forgot the deliciousness that awaited me at this humble eatery. When I had the chance to visit home, it was always one of my top priorities to indulge in their culinary delights. It's a testament to their food that no matter how far I traveled or how much time had passed, the flavors remained etched in my memory.This small family-run Vietnamese restaurant holds a special place in my heart, not just for their delectable dishes but also for the memories and connections it has fostered over the years. I am forever grateful for their unwavering commitment to excellence, and I look forward to being a customer for many more years to come.

We were just passing through and decided to give it a try. The food was great but the wait was quite long even though we were not a lot of customers at the time. Need to be here a little early if you dont want to wait.

I love this place! Best tasting pho. Way better than pho 79. Prices are very affordable. The staff is very kind and respectful. Do yourself a favor, go try it out and you'll understand.

I have recently been semi disappointed with various Vietnamese restaurants I’ve eaten of late up in New York State, Maine, Boston, ABQ New Mexico and even San Francisco. So I was holding my breath when my aunt and uncle took me here.They and their kids who are now all grown have been going here for years and I remember visiting once ages ago plus once at their original location.Seriously loved the dish I ordered and what my uncle and aunt ordered looked really good as well. (My aunt likes to try something new each visit and my uncle usually orders one of the noodle soup pho dishes. This time he ordered the seafood pho).I ordered the grilled pork dish that involves making your own rice paper rolls stuffed with protein, angel hair noodles, carrots, cilantro and cucumbers with the option to stuff with lettuce as well or wrap the lettuce around the rice roll which is how I do it. (Sorry to not know the name but their servers can easily help you figure it out).For an appetizer the fried spring rolls were well sized, hot and nicely presented.The fried banana ice cream sundae was extremely large / easily shared by three. Or that might have been a special bonus size since my aunt and uncle are such regularsAnd I really liked how they gave the Vietnamese sesame brittle candy as a thank you treat with the check which I’ve not had any other VN restaurant do and I eat Vietnamese food a lot.Last but not least. It’s clear by the decor that the owners care about making a nice but still low key dining experience that you can enjoy for a casual dinner or lunch or for a celebration.And I like that it’s a small cozy size restaurant.I can’t wait to come back and try other menu items. Vietnam Gardens has a very reasonably priced menu and a nice variety of good Vietnamese food options.Bon Appetite!

A highly recommended experience! The establishment boasts an exceptionally warm and courteous staff who consistently delight patrons with a complimentary salad as a welcoming gesture. Their lemongrass chicken is truly exceptional, characterized by its tenderness and meticulous marination. The crispy rolls, with their tantalizingly crunchy exterior and delectably soft interior, are an absolute treat. My loyalty to this establishment spans many years, even after relocating out of state, and every return visit is a source of immense satisfaction.
My guess is that this Vietnamese restaurant is not as well known as the other establishments around the area. It should be though! It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall on Virginia Beach Blvd. It is truly a hidden gem in my opinion. The interior is not very big and it only holds a few tables but it still has a welcoming feel. We came right at dinner time and was seated right away. It was nearly empty at first but it began filling up with customers. We ordered the classic pho bowls with Vietnamese pancakes and spring rolls. There was a slight wait as there was a large group getting their food before us but it was no problem at all. The pancakes came out hot and crispy with a savory sauce. The spring rolls were a hit as well. The pho broth was delicious and the large bowl is indeed large! Their prices were lower than other restaurants but does not skimp on flavor and portion. I would definitely come back to try their signature dishes along with other soup options. Solid experience!!

Phenomenal experience every time! The food is always amazing and the staff are always very pleasant and welcoming.
As previously stated, people were Chinese. There's nothing wrong with that, but the food is a little different when compared to a Vietnamese owned restaurant.
Vietnamese garden is a hidden gym in Virginia Beach. Everything I have tried here is delicious and always fresh. You won’t be disappointed!
