The food was good. The service, not so much. The staff forgot about us a couple times, or maybe they just didn't care. We were basically the only people in the restaurant, so they clearly weren't understaffed. We probably won't be going

Great beef pho (I got the B10) and Thai iced tea. The fried tofu wasn’t great - it was greasy and battered in something. I would come back and get the pho again!

We have been ordering delivery from Viet Chopsticks for awhile now and the food is consistently excellent! So great to have such an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in N.W. DC. Please keep up the great work and please do not go anywhere.

The Pho was good, hot and had good flavor. The service was ok. The place was clean. The cost was on the high side for lunch. Over all I have had better and I have had worse.Parking: Free parking on the street on Sundays.

The Vietnamese iced coffee was amazing. Not too sweet and a perfect balance of flavors. The pho was just fine and the spring rolls were okay. I personally thought it was on the more expensive side however the location and their hours of operation is very convenient for those who live in the area.

Didn’t get a chance to order/taste any food because a mouse ran across my feet as soon as I sat down. ?
Great no nonsense neighborhood spot for quick and tasty Vietnamese food, a standard / go-to for our family.

I come here pretty often when I'm craving pho. The pho isn't the VERY best around, but it hits the spot, and I enjoy the cleanliness of the restaurant and their diverse menu. The portions here are definitely larger than other places!! I'll get the large size and take some home. The service is always friendly and fast, too.

Really disappointing. Garden spring rolls were pretty much all noodles. No basil? The Shanghai vegetables with mushrooms was exclusively bok choy and mushrooms. Maybe bc it was Sunday they’d run out of ingredients? Ok then 86 the menu item don’t sell it lacking. We left here needing a 2nd lunch to make up for this one.Vegetarian options: Some vegan options but they were disappointing. The red curry is not vegan
