“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I genuinely never write reviews but I have to because this is genuinely one of the best pho spots in the dc area by FAR!!! easy quick delicious and good price. Be sure to get there for dinner on the earlier side as it actually fills up and its very mom and pop so be easy on the staff! love them and will be going back again and again“

“Best $20 pho you can ask for, and the smoothies are airy light and wonderful. I got the chicken pho, it was incredibly delicious, I’m so full, yet I feel refreshed and not lazy or fat, fresh veggies with pho hits the spot especially when it’s at 54!! Well done!“

“Small but mighty Vietnamese cafe. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the bbq pork banh mi. It was very yummy and authentic. You can tell the bread and all of the ingredients are fresh.“

“Tôi thường xuyên đến Present Restaurant để thưởng thức món ăn, và nơi đây đã trở thành một trong những nhà hàng Việt Nam tôi yêu thích nhất ở Virginia. Các món ăn vừa tinh tế vừa sáng tạo, vừa giữ được hương vị truyền thống Việt Nam, vừa kết hợp với phong cách ẩm thực hiện đại. Dù là gỏi cuốn thanh mát, phở bò đậm đà hay những món đặc biệt được trình bày đầy nghệ thuật, tất cả đều để lại ấn tượng sâu sắc. Đây không chỉ là nơi thưởng thức ẩm thực, mà còn là một trải nghiệm kết hợp giữa thị giác và vị giác, khiến tôi luôn muốn quay lại nhiều lần☺️🥰😋“

“The owners really take pride on both the decorating and the cooking. The services are always with some personal touches; lots of regular customers. Nice homie ambiance and authentic Vietnamese dishes.

The curry Chicken, crispy pancake, ground beef wrapped with grape leaves, steamed sea bass in brown sauce, pork belly buns, papaya salad, Hanoi style pork, a warm taro desert, grilled scallops, and the deep fried whole flounder is fresh and crispy; the best around town!

Love their Christmas tree; now they have some hearts for V day, so pretty!“

“Delicious Food and Fantastic Service!
My family went to Viet Corner last week and we had such a great experience. We ordered three dishes to share: Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice), Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup), and Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (Vermicelli with Grilled Pork & Egg Rolls). Everything came out absolutely delicious and suited our family's taste perfectly!
A few highlights from our visit
The food came out very quickly, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
On our way out, I ordered a Banh Mi to go, and it was seriously so good! 🤤
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food. We will definitely be back!“

“My girlfriend and I went on a mission to find the best Pho in Maryland. This is 100% it. You can smell it the second you enter the front door. The service is so quick and so kind. The food is extremely consistent. Whatever recipe they use is the best!!! And the quality of the fatty brisket is perfect🤌“

“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.“

“Their Vietnamese beef intestine hotpot comes with tender tripe, beef tongue, beef brisket and beef meatballs. An absolute gem. It’s served with spicy fermented bean curd, a massive platter of banana blossom/ herbs. And!!! a ton of wide egg noodles to sop up all the good herbal soup and meat. Truly a secret menu item and so so good. Unlike any other hot pot you have ever had.“

“This was my first time at RollPlay and had been wanting to try for a while now- I ordered the spicy oxtail pho- very flavorful and portion just right. Personnel were so hospitable and ordering process was very easy at the screen. Priced a little bit high but it’s probably due to location.“

“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!“

“Highly recommend the pork banh mi, my favorite in nova. The meat is marinated better than any other location so far. Came a second time and the Beef banh mi was okay, wouldn’t get again. Also the veg was hardly pickled, first visit was amazing but not so much the second time. The service is great though and I hope this place continues to do well.“

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

“This place has been on my take-out rotation since I moved here and they never disappoint! My first time here in the middle of summer, they apologized profusely about the bread being flat due to temperature control issues, but I genuinely could not tell— it was still ridiculously good. I remember thinking “if this is a bad bread day.. then what is a good bread day like??” The answer: amazing. perfect. Nothing compares. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a very nice crust on the outside. I made the mistake of going to another bahn mi place in the area the other day, and all I could think about was how much I would rather be eating a sandwich from Simply Bahn Mi. I haven’t tried the pho, but the sandwiches here are perfection!!“

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“This is the kind of place you want spend your money in. small family run, soft shell crab is heavenly and really never had a less than fantastic meal there. For us no better Vietnamese food than Nam Viet. great service too.“

“This place is cute and reasonably priced, but I wasn't wowed by the food. I got pho and a chicken bahn mi to go and dug into the sandwich the moment I stepped outside. The sandwich was not very hot and there were no jalapeños on it. (I was not a fan of the egg on it, either, but that is on me for not reading the menu more carefully.) Unfortunately, the chicken pho broth was not nearly as flavorful as I was hoping and the soup was carried by the condiments. Overall, while I thought the people and atmosphere were nice, I was not thrilled with the food.“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“Fast, casual, and flavorful.

Service- you look at the menu through a QR code and either order at the counter or if employees is not busy (with Togo orders) will come over and take your order

Food- pho was so tasty. The broth was full flavors and great portions of protein and veggies.

Space- the space is small and simple. About 8 tables, clean.

I will come back and even order takeout!“

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

“We ordered the pho tai bo vien, grilled pork rice bowl, beef vermicelli, and shrimp spring rolls. Each item was delicious, and tasted crafted and made with love. The pho broth in particular had an incredibly rich and deep flavor. Definitely worth a try!“

“One of my favorite spots to eat in Eden Center. Possibly new owners because the menu and staff changed but food is still so good!
This is our reliable spot to get good food. The service is always attentive and nice.
Tables always clean.
Recommended dishes: Nem Nuong Rolls, Bun Cha Ha Noi, Bun Nha Trang Dac Biet.“

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

“great spot for authentic Vietnamese food , I frequently come here for the quality & friendly experience. highly recommended 10/10“

“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“

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

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“Got a tofu banh mi and it was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and they gave plenty of tofu. I was pleased with the size of the sandwich and how easy it was to find vegetarian options. Definitely a great spot for a chill lunch or dinner.“

“ordered delivery. pho was perfect summer rolls were good and plentiful size for 12 year olds appetite. had combo pho and shrimp pho very pleased. wish I could get this where we live!!!“

“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.“

“The best place to eat at Eden“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Best pho in town. And we've tried plenty of other ones over the years. It's so good, I feel like we go here every week. Ingredients are always fresh and the staff is always friendly. Price, portion, and quality are unmatched. Even when we lived in FL we made it a point to go here when we came up to visit. Also, the ones in FL don't compare. But now that we've moved back, it's our go to place.“

“The grilled pork vermicelli was very authentic and tasted just like in Vietnam. The pork was sliced thin, well marinated, and grilled over charcoal, giving it an amazing smoky flavor. The fish sauce was perfectly balanced and paired really well with the noodles and fresh vegetables. The spring rolls were also crispy and delicious with flavorful filling. Overall, it was a great meal and I’ll definitely come back again!“

“We have been here every week for over 2 years now. The food are consistently prepared with care and quality in every details. Dishes we adore are Canh Bún, Rice with Fried Chicken, Cơm Tấm Đâc Biệt. The other dishes are all very good too. You should give a try . The place may look not crowdef at all at times but it is no way indicative of the food quality!“

“I found this restaurant, just a couple of blocks from my hotel. It was absolutely packed during lunchtime. I ordered the Canh chua (Vietnamese, sweet and sour) soup with shrimp. It was amazing. It’s very hard to find this soup in Vietnamese restaurants so when I do, I always order it. I saw the other dishes coming out - pho and fresh spring rolls - and it all looked great. I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was fantastic. The servers were very busy, but also attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Stopped in around 2:30 pm on a Sunday and WOW they were busyyyyy! Thoroughly impressed by how on top of service & turning over tables to keep up with the constant customers coming in. Pho and lemongrass chicken plate were super delicious!“

“Not sure if it was the rain outside or just the chef’s touch, but the soup today felt very comforting and filling today. The egg rolls were good and our beef pho was delicious. The regular soup is smaller compared to other pho places we’ve been to however it was just enough and we left satisfied. If you like larger portions, I recommend getting a large. Service was ok and it took a while to get our check. But overall great viet food“

“I always like their food and services there. Good place to have home made Vietnamese food.“

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

“Walking into this spot, you are immediately welcomed by a cozy, inviting ambiance and excellent customer service. It is a Vietnamese spot, but the kitchen is run by an all-Salvadoran crew. Having traveled to both El Salvador and Vietnam, experiencing this felt like a beautiful, unexpected cultural fusion that made me feel right at home.

The food completely takes you back. We started with the summer rolls, which were exceptionally fresh and delicious. For the main courses, I ordered the beef special pho, and she got the vermicelli bowl loaded with grilled shrimp and grilled honey lemongrass pork. While my pho was deeply comforting, rich, and a great reminder of the amazing food out in Vietnam, I have to admit I was incredibly jealous of her dish—the vermicelli bowl was absolutely out of this world!

To drink, I tried the iced tamarind topped with peanuts. It is fantastic and heavily reminded me of the refreshing tamarind drinks we enjoy back in the West Indies.

Between the top-tier food, the warm atmosphere, and the friendly service, this place is an absolute five-star neighborhood treasure. I highly recommend it!“

“it was ok, not too pleased with the ambience, lacked lighting and heat.. it was open early, that was a plus for this place“
