“If you are looking for tasty Pho and vietnamese food, give this place a try.

I was looking for a Pho place nearby. I have never been to this location and thought I would give it a try. I am super glad I did. Service was very pleasant, friendly and prompt. The owners were super sweet and visited each table.

The prices here are super fair for what I ordered..I ordered a small #1 soup, summer roll, and a thai tea. The thai tea ia easily the best I've had and I have had plenty. The summer roll was fresh and came with two and peanut sauce. The small pho is huge! I was incredibly impressed with the portion of meat in the soup, esp for a small size. The broth was really flavorful and i enjoyed it thoroughly.

Ill definitely be back within the week!“

“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!“

“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🤌“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“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!“

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

“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“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Came here with my partner to get some pho. These days I feel going to restaurants isn’t worth it unless it’s for food that is difficult to make — pho is one of those. The place had one or two other people seated for lunch on a Friday. We were told to sit wherever we liked.

My partner got pho with extra meat, and they brought the extra meat out in a small bowl, which was great to see that it was indeed extra. I got pho without meat (their only option for pho <$10). They gave plenty of the classic toppings (bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, chilis). We also got the fresh rolls as well. The rolls were not as good as I’ve had at other Vietnamese places — there were no herbs in it which would’ve really improved it. The pho itself was delicious and definitely worth getting.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Solid pho, plus it came out extremely fast and the place seems clean. Would happily try other things there. The worst part was the noodles: not great but ok given that it’s a casual and fast spot; the noodles were almost exclusively short and there were few long ones, perhaps overcooked and they fell apart.“

“Great but about just as good as their Rockville counterpart. Favorful soup and fresh veggies. The area here unfortunately isn't as safe feeling so we'll have to stick to Rockville.

Service is fast and cordial. The atmosphere is inviting and business seems always busy.“

“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 service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“This is my favorite restaurant to visit when I'm in the DC area! Not only is the food amazing, but the service is next level. You can tell by how authentic the food is that it's a run by people with great care and appreciation for Vietnamese food. There's something special about a family run restaurant, and this one is as good as it gets. I would recommend the Pho (duh!) and also the chicken wings which are sticky, sweet, and crispy!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Pho 25. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and the service was efficient and friendly.
The food, however, was the real standout. I ordered the lemongrass beef with rice, and it was excellent. The beef was tender, perfectly seasoned, and had a great char that packed a ton of flavor. The pickled vegetables and fresh salad on the side provided a crisp, bright contrast that balanced the savory meat perfectly.
I also had a chance to try the pho, and the broth was exactly what you want—aromatic, clean, and deeply flavorful. It’s clear they don’t take shortcuts with their ingredients here.
Everything about the meal felt high-quality and well-executed. If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food that hits the spot, this is definitely the place to go. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Really really good banh mi and pho!!! They make the best golden crepe (banh xeo). This is my favorite Vietnamese place in the DMV because they are fast and the food is very authentic and worth the price. I’ve been coming here for over a year and I always crave the food.“

“The servings sizes were great, they didn't skimp on anything. Got the soup+sandwich combo, and it comes with a full sized banh mi with a bowl of pho. The pho could have used more salt...pho also didn't come with anything else, but I didn't ask so maybe it's on me. The sandwich was great. Will go again for sure!“

“Pre-paying for food and tipping for food you didn't get yet is total BS!“

“Customer service today, extra next time. General Tso was lightly breaded and very fresh and crispy. The pork soup dumplings where soft and very taste, all around amazing experience.
Also, Got a pork Bahn Mi to-go since the food was so fresh.“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“Everything was delicious! We especially loved the combo fried rice! The staff was friendly and professional. We stopped by on a whim, but I wish we lived here so we could become regulars. We had no idea we were going to get such quality, authentic Vietnamese food in Arlington!“

“Overall, good experience. Convenient, fast, and easy. Food pretty tasty for the speed and ease. Somewhat affordable. The decor and ambiance is whimsical, like stepping into a Blake & white drawing. A very easy way to enjoy some satisfying Asian comfort foods.“

“The food here is outstanding! Hanne had just created a new fried banana dessert and invited us to be the first to try it—it was absolutely amazing. The prices are very reasonable, the service is warm and personal, and the quality of the food will definitely keep us coming back. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Spot on broth. No condiments required. Hold my beer.“

“One of my favorite pho restaurants. Love it 🔥💯“
