For northern Virginia this place is an excellent option for vegans. In addition to the very tasty pho and summer rolls, they have lemongrass tofu and will veganise pretty much anything on the menu. They do a lovely soy-based sauce as an alternative to fish sauce, not listed on the menu.
Stopped and dined here last night, and thought the food and Pho were excellent. My wife had Pho, and I had Vermicelli. We both really enjoyed it. The place is clean, and has a friendly staff. I would highly recommend dining here.

Very little flavor in the Pho, and the summer rolls were falling apart also somehow with little favor.
Staff was friendly, although wanted to talk the entire time I was trying to eat.

Very friendly staff and the pho is delicious. I had the “meat lovers pho” which had all kinds of tasty beef. The mango smoothie was also one of my favorite, definitely recommend getting that

Kim is an exceptional lady, who took the time to explain her roots, and the way her food is different than other Vietnamese restaurants, and how her mom inspired many of the menu items.
However when you have folks who are preparing the food, who don't understand the culture, concept, and passion behind the dishes, somethings might slip through the cracks...
Like how long do you leave rice paper in the water before it starts to rip, or shrimp paste is supposed to smell like that, and it is to be eaten that way, or how to properly wash your bones when you make a stock, and not leave it smelling or tasting gamey.
Although Kim explained her version of the famous dish Bun Bo Hue, the place where her family comes from, there were minute details which I didn't care for, and I missed the usual garnished that are served with the dish, however authentic they might or might not be.
The Pho was good, a big portion of meat.
The star of my lunch were the crispy Wontons, perfectly balanced with the sweet chili sauce.
Overall a cute spot, will go back to try more dishes

First time visit. Amazing food, very generous portions. Was happy to find a seafood option since it was a Lenten Friday.
Fastest Pho bowl ever

Some of the most flavorless pho I’ve tried…. I think all the 5 star reviews are from those who have never had proper pho before. The large size left much to be desired. The iced coffee also had way too much condensed milk.
Pho ga was great and some of the best spring rolls in the area. Friendly, fast service too.
Flavorless pho for sure. Not ordering from here again. The amount of food is not worth the money. I place an order online and didn’t even filled the container with broth. Chicken meat is plain
Been coming here for years. They’ve renovated inside, and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Staff is so nice. Food is great. Haven’t tried the Bahn Mi, seems newer on the menu, but I definitely come just for the Pho 🙃
Ordered the bun bo hue and I it tasted watered down. The meat was too thick and chewy. It also tasted old. I was only given bean sprouts. What happened to bok choy? If you want good bun bo hue, go to pho Viet Fresh in Herndon. You will not be disappointed.
