“The Pho with Lemongrass broth is healing“

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“Restaurant Week lunch menu was excellent. Good variety and enough choices for the 3 course menu. Can’t go wrong with any options. Excellent service. Bar area is nice-wish the dining room decor was as interesting as the food. (Maybe that’s the point—the foods the thing!)“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“I recently had the pleasure of discovering Hello Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant located in Rockville, MD, and it was love at first bite. I cannot sing enough praises about this hidden gem. The standout dish at Hello Vietnam is undoubtedly their "phở thố đá sườn bò". This is hands down one of the most special pho dishes I have ever had the pleasure of savoring. The beef ribs are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. It is a true symphony of flavors that is both comforting and oh-so-delicious. There are many other options that are as delicious such as “bánh cuốn”, “bánh đúc, “bún bò Huế”, etc. The best part? The prices at Hello Vietnam are incredibly affordable, making this culinary delight accessible to all. Beyond the exceptional food, the customer service at Hello Vietnam is truly top-notch. The staff members are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They know exactly what is expected of them and go above and beyond to ensure that every diner has a memorable dining experience. Their warm and affectionate demeanor makes you feel right at home, adding an extra layer of charm to the overall dining experience. The location of Hello Vietnam is also quite convenient, making it easy to find and access. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or planning a leisurely dinner with friends and family, Hello Vietnam has you covered. I have had the pleasure of dining at Hello Vietnam twice now, and I can confidently say that I will keep coming back whenever I am in town. The delicious and unique dishes, exceptional customer service, convenient location, and welcoming setting make this restaurant a true standout in the Rockville dining scene. Don't miss the opportunity to experience it for yourself – you will not be disappointed!“

“Really creative and delicious food!! The people are so welcoming and attentive. We are definitely foodies and highly recommend NUE. It is one of our favorite restaurants!!!“

“After a long day, we were just looking for something quick and comforting—and wow, did we hit the jackpot with 54 Restaurant! We were craving some soup, and since they were open until 9 PM, we called at 8:36 to place a takeout order. By 8:50, we were already picking up our food, and everything was ready right on time.

We ate in our hotel lobby, and oh my goodness… I did not expect the Pho to be that good. It was insanely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, there was a generous amount of tender meat, and the portion was huge.

We also ordered a Banh Mi, and it was just as amazing—perfectly seasoned and super satisfying.

We grabbed two drinks as well; they were very sweet, maybe a bit too much for my taste, but still tasty.

This spot has definitely earned a place on my list of favorite go-to restaurants. Can’t wait to come back!“

“With the weather beginning to get colder - what better time to start exploring to find great Pho restaurants in the DMV.

My friend and I decided to try Pho House because of its very central location, and also because of its great reviews.

Overall, the food was delicious and the we were able to add extra meats and make substitutions to our orders which was great.

The broth that I had with my Pho was very well made. The flavours were substantive, as were the meats that were in the dish.“

“Absolutely delicious! Staff were friendly, food was prepared quickly and was so flavourful. Highly recommend.“

“Exquisite cuisine complemented by a charming atmosphere! Their house-brewed Vietnamese coffee tastes and smells so good. The new soft-shell crab with tamarind sauce is so yummy and reasonably priced. I will definitely come back for their delectable chimichurri steak. I will definitely come again to try out the banh mi and other lunch options as well as other authentic Vietnamese items. I love that with a menu brimming with authentic Vietnamese dishes, they also offer a tempting array of vegan and exotic options. It's a great addition to the modernized Takoma Park.“

“I’ve been to many pho restaurants. This is by far the best one I’ve ever been to. Broth is so clean and flavorful. Meat always fresh. The service lets not talk about the service. Every time I feel like I’m a guest in their home and given the utmost sincere care and service. I feel like part of their family .“

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

“Little Saigon is a friendly and welcoming white-tablecloth restaurant offering an extensive Vietnamese menu of deliciously prepared and graciously served appetizers, entrees, and side dishes. On this, our first visit, we were seeking pho, and were amply rewarded with generous snd delicious servings of both a chicken pho and a beef pho, and our vegetarian Spring rolls were a great start. We’ll return soon to sample more of their enticing menu.“

“stopped by due to great reviews and concentrated menu.

the phở was good, definitely not the best. lacking in depth and quantity. quality? I mean, it's there w the broth and meats but usually it is supposed to be fulfilling. I left wanting another bowl from a different place. the price was definitely reasonable and you get what you'd expect. straight to business, no frills. good for a quick bite, just not memorable

the coffee was good. I'd get it again.“

“We were in DC over the weekend visiting family and had an incredible experience at PhoNatics Noodle Bar! We ate inside the restaurant (although there TONS of to-go orders picked up while we were there. The service was outstanding, and the food was even better. Our group couldn’t stop raving about the Banh Mi Beef and Banh Mi Grilled Pork sandwiches. The caramelized meat paired perfectly with the fresh veggies and sauce— absolute perfection!

For appetizers, we went with the Beef Summer Rolls after seeing them recommended in so many reviews, and they did not disappoint. Fresh, light, and packed with flavor!

Another standout was the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli. It was like a noodle salad packed with fresh veggies and savory, perfectly grilled chicken. The Pho was also solid, but the the items above were the real stars of the show.

Everyone in our group gave this place a 10/10! Highly recommend if you're craving Vietnamese cuisine. Can't wait to come back!“

“I’ve been here a few times since they opened and every time the staff & owner have always been very friendly and attentive. The food is great. I’ve had the pho every time. I’ve also had the spring & crispy rolls. I’ve never been disappointed. My coworker got the banh mi and say I need to try next time. I’m looking forward to it.“

“Amazing food..beautiful establishment with the friendliest staff“

“Very friendly staff make this place a must visit. The food is great as well. We usually order the Pho Texas, Vietnamese egg rolls, and fried rice for the kids. Also, I highly recommend the mango slushies - they are delicious. Wonderful vibe at this place and very attentive staff.“

“Great food - Nhung mon an thuan tuy cua VN, tuyet voi.“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“I had a full meal at this Vietnamese restaurant. The spring rolls were about the same as any other pho restaurant but the broth for the wonton noodle soup did not disappoint. I got it with pho tuoi since i like the fatter rice noodles. I finished my entire bowl!“

“We stayed in Virginia for 2 days, but this was the only restaurant we kept coming back for because their bun bo was delicious, and that comes from southern Californians who frequently have authentic, good bun bo. We tried many other items on the menu as well. All was great & so fresh! Our 2nd favorite was stir-fried baby clam with crispy rice paper.
Aside from delicious food, their service was absolute gold. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful decoration. They offered to take our photos with dedication, making sure we leave with beautiful photos. They also gave each of us a small, delicious dessert at the end of our meal.
Highly recommend this restaurant. Will come back when I'm in town again.“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“We’ve ordered pho to go before and tonight we dined in and ordered rice platter and vermicelli. I’m pleased to say this is one of the very solid Asian restaurants I’ve ever been to. And definitely one of the top in DC. I highly recommend and this will be one of our regular restaurants to go to since we live close by.“

“Food was ok. Not authentic Vietnamese food. I brought my Vietnamese friends and we were disappointed. The Bún bò Huế tasted more like Tom Yum soup. The Cơm tấm (rice plate) was ok but the fish sauce was flavorless. If you want true authentic Viet food, I recommend going to Eden Garden Center. It is a drive but worth it“

“Best pho around. I’ll start there!
Broth is flavorful and doesn’t just taste like water. Meat is fresh. (We always order the Tai #15) and bean sprouts, mint, jalapeño and lime are always fresh!

The water is not great so beware but if it has a lot of ice it helps lol. They do have other options to choose from as well. We normally get some soda.

The place is very out dated and kinda ran down. It is all men so you know they don’t care. There is a few guys that have been there FOREVER and are super nice. Some of them do not speak good English but they do understand.

Oh, they only take cash but if you do not have it there is a ATM at the laundry mat next door to get cash.

Weekends can be super packed as it’s a great hang over saver lol but durning the week it’s great!

Don’t judge a book by its cover! It’s really worth it!“

“Delicious authentic Vietnamese food! I've been here three times now, and each time I loved what I ordered. The first time I had the rice plate with grilled lemongrass chicken (com ga nuong), the second time I had the pho tai chin (eye round steak and well done brisket), and the third time I had the vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass chicken (bun ga nuong). The lemongrass chicken here is so good. The food reminds me of the rice plates, vermicelli bowls, and pho that I had when I visited Saigon last year. The staff is all super friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them, practicing my Vietnamese. I will always try to stop by here again when I'm in the area. I highly recommend Pho 72!“

“Always an amazing experience. My favorite is the Bo Luc Lac in either salad or hot stone bowl. Pictured you will see both ways. The crispy rolls are great, summer rolls with both shrimp/pork version or bbq pork version. The pho is amazing. Fried rice is a generous portion of seafood/meat. By far the best Bo Luc Lac in the area; tried close to 10 others. Always room to sit down but busy. Love walking the hallways in Eden Center, it's like you're in Vietnam. The staff is very welcoming and nice, you'll see the same three ladies every visit.“

“great food and service, was awsome and very filling 😋“

“I got the chicken pho and made it extra spicy. It was so good and full of flavor! Such generous portion! Service is a bit slow only because there is 1 waitress and she is also checking people out and handling delivery services. But she was absolutely sweet! 10/10 will definitely go back.“

“Delicious food. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Everything on menu is great quality. My sons and I love the pho 🍜 and Bubble Tea 🧋 We try to eat here once a month. Thank you Pho An & Grill for such amazing food and kindness 🪷💕🪷“

“Com Tan Suon cha trung (combination grill pork) reminds me how my mom used to make it. Other places do offer same dish but those are taste like restaurant quality. The appeal to this dish is the cut of pork used to make or break this dish. I personally recommend add extra piece of pork chop in case the one that initially given is not enough…which justifies why the cut of pork used is important. Some place either give u fried egg or meatloaf…but not both. (Especially true to outside eden center). This place does give u both the meatloaf and fried egg.“

“All I can say is .... wonderful pho at this restaurant. Definitely reconmend!.“

“I always check out the other patrons at a restaurant when it's my first time, as the locals, and people who are from that culture would know the food best.

I've been to this restaurant a few times now, since I wanted to give there vast menu some justice before I decided to give my review. It's Vietnamese food, but very different, and a large menu with so much to choose from.

The gentleman who waited on me was the same every time, and he is so patient and helpful, explained the menu well, and made recommendations too.

I tried the flat noodle stir fry the first time on a rainy afternoon, along with the crispy pork and taro eggrolls, which were very tasty, but slightly greasy, of course they are fried!

The second time was during a heatwave, and it was uncomfortably hot inside. The air conditioning seemed to be struggling, there were ceiling fans, table top fans, but I was still sweating, especially while trying to eat my confit Duck Noodles. Never had his dish before, and my Vietnamese friend suggested it. The broth is light, and delicious, with a hint of star anise and herbs, it also had greens that looked like lettuce, and Shitake mushrooms that were succulent, the duck was so tender cooked to perfection and not gamey.

I also got the chicken & beef with crispy egg noodles that reminded me of the Chinese bird's nest.

The mini chicken rolls, were such a perfect appetizer served with sweet & sour sauce, along with their house chili oil, which has a slight tingle of Schezuan peppercorns, I loved it.

The Salty Plum Drink is my favorite, and was perfect on a hot day.

There is so much more to discover at this restaurant, and I will definitely be back, just not on a hot day.“

“I was surprised how good the food was. The dish was decorated so lovely too. The restaurant is spotless! love that cleanliness! Don't let the corridor outside of the restaurant to discourage you. Com'on in for a taste of unbelieveable good Vietnamese food. I heard that if you are a frequent guest, the owner will offer you a special flanc for dessert on the house! I was also told that its phở gà (chicken pho) is excellent!!!“

“Very tasteful and fresh. I am surprised with how natural the broth tasted. Not like any other pho places around here. good for them. I will be coming back happily.“

“best bun cha ha noi in town.“

“I love the food from this restaurant! It’s always clean, and the portion sizes are decent . We ordered the grilled pork with vermicelli, noodle soup, fried rice, and shaky beef — all consistently delicious and satisfying. We definitely will come back.“

“what amazing good and service my guest loved at as i did again.“

“Food was great! Don’t let the emptiness scare you. The restaurant is kinda hidden in the mall on the entrance end of the Eden center. The service was great! The lady is kind of checking on you to make sure your needs are met and the food is great. Hu tieu Nam Vang was great, great sauce and toppings. Their signature “Bánh ướt dĩa chồng dĩa Buôn Mê Thuộc” aka rice paper plate on plate was good with rice paper to wrap with herbs and different hams like chạo tôm (shrimp paste wrapped on sugar cane, vietnamese ham, grilled pork) and 3 different sauces (fish sauce, fermented fish sauce, and peanut sauce). Bánh bèo is good. I’m used to Hue style which the rice batter is thinner but this is still good.“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“Family favorite! Good traditional pho house with tasty soup that doesn’t skimp! Not greasy soup either with good flavor and amounts of meat that’s lean unlike other places. Great prices. Have been coming here for over 30 years!
Warning *cash only*“

“The food here is so delicious and authentic. I lived in Vietnam for ~18 months, and I haven't tasted many of the flavors I did at Bánh Cuốn Thăng Long in the nearly six years since I've been home. It was a lovely and nostalgic experience.

I ordered mì quảng and bánh cuốn Thăng Long. I hadn't had either of these in the States before. Because my husband is less familiar with Vietnamese food and was a little hesitant about the things I wanted, we also ordered gỏi cuốn tôm thịt and bún thịt nướng chả giò for a little more familiarity, as he had already tried these in other restaurants.

The bánh cuốn was made well and the nước chấm was delicious. I am somewhat hesitant about chả lụa, but this meat was flavorful and I enjoyed it. It also came with shrimp cakes, which was new to me. They were crispy, but not very flavorful.

The gỏi cuốn was fresh and warm and came with warm peanut sauce. This was new to my husband, and he remarked that the textures and temperature were different from what he was used to, but for me it felt like I was right back on the streets of Saigon.

The mì quảng was so fragrant and the pork inside was so flavorful. This was a dish I'd only had once or twice when I was in Vietnam, and it made me regret not having it more. It was SO good. The herbs and vegetables that came with it have names I never learned (besides like mint and cilantro), but they are so delicious and perfect. Would absolutely recommend this dish.

I tried the chả giò in my husband's dish, and it was the first time I've had good Vietnamese fried spring rolls in the USA. I didn't taste any of the rest of his bún thịt nướng, but he enjoyed it, and it looked great.

This was way too much food for two people, but I was just so excited to try everything. We ate as much as we could and left feeling very very full, but it was worth it.

Note that the prices reflected in the most recent menus posted on Google are not accurate, as prices have increased from last year. We spent $70 after tax and tip (this being an abnormally large amount of food for two people, so it's understandable).“

“Stopped by Banh Mi So 1 at Eden Center and grabbed a Dac Biet and a grilled chicken banh mi. The baguette was thinner and smaller than the typical banh mi, which was a bit disappointing. The flavors were decent, but I expected more since it’s in Eden Center. Overall, nothing too special. I had taken the banh mi to go with the veggies on the side. You can see the quantity of meat in the banh mi with and without the veggies. Three banh mi cost $20 USD!“

“The food and service are consistently good. They never fail. Love FSG.“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Best Bun Bo Hue (translates to English as Spicy Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup) in the DMV. This is a little hole in the wall restaurant located in Eden Center. We usually have the duck salad to start. In case you haven't had the opportunity, Bun Bo Hue broth tastes rich and deep, spicy, with a hint of sweet, citrusy lemongrass. Be sure to add the fresh herbs to your bowl, they really enhance the flavor of the soup. The sliced cabbage adds texture and crunch while the noodles are perfectly thick and chewy. I highly recommend taking the drive to Falls Church for this dish alone.“

“Ordered jasmine tea, grilled chicken Banh mi, vegetarian fried imperial rolls and the non fried vegetarian spring rolls. I have no complaints at all, the food was fresh, delicious and satisfying. Staff was cordial, patient and polite. The entire restaurant was clean, well lit and comfortable to sit in for a nice meal. I will definitely return 10/10“
