Pho Saigon Pearl

GREAT FOOD & SERVICE!

We were at Pho Saigon Pearl, a Vietnamese restaurant in Arlington for the first time a few days ago and definitely will come back. While parking in Arlington is rare, there is plenty of parking in the garage below the restaurant and it's free parking. The restaurant is nice, bright, well ventilated and I love the high ceiling which adds to the pleasant experience. Outside seating is available and very nice. Must try dishes are Grilled Beef with Noodle, Vegan Pho, Grilled Pork Sandwiches, and Saigon Pearl Fine Rice Vermicelli (Banh Hoi Saigon Pearl).

I look forward to trying their other dishes during my next visit.

Amazing food, quick service and nice staff I come here daily

Pho was the best I've had in all my years of looking in the area. Broth was excellent and the portion of noodles was good too. I usually order an extra portion to add but didn't have to.

I have lived and traveled within Vietnam for over 20 years. Having this level of experience with Vietnam and its' culture and cuisine, I have developed a passion for Vietnamese cuisine. I can honestly say that dining experience at the Pho Saigon Pearl was some of the best and most delicious Vietnamese cuisines I have eaten. Certainly some of the best I've tasted in the Washington, DC metro area.

Tried their pho, it was bland and flavorless. Don't have their pho if you know what pho is suppose to taste like.

The food at this place is wonderful. My favorite is the vermicelli with tofu. I eat here at least twice a month. Very friendly group of people who work there. They treat everyone nice and I would highly recommend it. If you’re meat eater or vegan, they got what you need and the food is always tasty. You won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars!!

Sorry to say but the food is not that good. I got the Bun Bo Hue and it was so bland I had to keep adding every sauce available. I tried the crispy spring rolls to see if a more common dish would redeem them and again, bland. The nuc nam that came with it tasted more like vinegar that anything else. Overall, it’s edible but a waste of money.

We used to love this place but now, the quality has dropped significantly.

Food came fast. Went around 2pm so was empty. I had to ask for a water refill. Not attentive service. The food isn't flavorful. It's a lot of food, but no taste.It's hard to get to the restaurant as well. Had to park in the parking garage, go up the elevator then walk around. Seems a little pricey $16 for chicken pho. Was disappointing
