I ordered beef vermicelli, and it came soggy and sad. I couldn't even eat the whole bowl. I had it here before, but it was good. I don't know what happened this time but the food was sad. Noodles were soft and soggy and the meat looked like it was there for two days.

I really wanted bum bo hue, and that's what my friend and I ordered... overall, it was fine. But I know there's better out there. Flavor wise, it wasn't as deep, and the toppings of the typical fresh chili and fried onions were nowhere to be found. I did enjoy it. However, it's the service that will deter me from coming back. This man was our server and couldn't give two flying ducks about his job. Monotone, inattentive, and dismissive. When the fork is plastic and the napkin that the fork is wrapped in is all that you get on the table, usually it's customary to ask if the customers need more. Instead, we had him avoid us and ignore us. 18% as tip was way too generous for your lack of effort. Also don't get the green tea thai... it tastes so bad...

This restaurant is all atmosphere without good food nor service.
Service: the server didn't write down our order (no big deal if they can remember it) and put the order in wrong. Our waiter appeared to change mid-meal. We don't know who the actual waiter was. Whoever it was supposed to be never came to check in at all or see if refills were needed.
Appetizer: We ordered the steam potstickers, for $8.50 and only got 4 potstickers. The quantity and quality was not worth the price. They came with two sauces, but we were not told what they were. A different waiter happened to walk by, so I asked what the sauces were. The sauces were mediocre at best
Food: Spicy miso ramen has no spice, at all. The seaweed was extremely overpowering. It ruined the bowl. The flavor was very bland overall. I can make better tasting ramen at home with stovetop ramen with some spices and toppings. This is definitely a one-and-done ramen stop for me. By far the worst ramen I've had in NoVA. Ichiban Sushi & Ramen in Shirlington Village blows this place out of the water.
Drink: I ordered the "Strawberry blush" and was provided "Purple Dream." Sadly, due to the lighting in the restaurant, I couldn't tell it was purple instead of strawberry colored. The drink was far from a "dream" the initial taste was pleasant but after that, it tasted like soap. It would've been nice to have received the drink I ordered. The Boba Milk tea from their Sister location, "Bees & Tea" was significantly better than what I was served tonight. Another poor point for this restaurant
Overall, if you want a cute date-night spot, that's it. Nothing else positive about it

Stopped by here as I was waiting for an appointment in the area. I checked out Kline and decided to come in since they had vegan options. Pretty empty since it was post lunch/pre-dinner. Service was surprisingly slow.
I really liked the fried tofu and ended up getting another order. The pho was pretty bland, needed a lot of extras to finish, and left a lot to be desired. Maybe there is a better dish on the menu for me, however I doubt I’d return to find out.

Very modernized Vietnames restaurant, and it is not your mom and pop stores, which I kinda miss it. This place offers nice bar options and quality Vietnames cuisine. I ordered pho but couldn't find one with tendon. Overall, when you are in the Pentagon area and craving for Vietnames food, I recommend this place.

I used to come here on a near weekly basis from 2020- Aug 2023. It's not the best Pho in NOVA, but it's pretty good and down the street. I moved away for a temporary 1 year position and recently came back. Excited for my favorite place, and it's so unrecognizable I am leaving a review. Increased prices and decreased portions. 17$ for calamari appetizer, feeds 1 person with maybe 6-10 calamari slices and pile of random vegis no one actually wants or ordered, taking up 90% of the plate. Like its trying to hide the fact that there is F-all calamari. PHO soup broth taste watered down with less meat and noodles. Asked for extra jalapeños and got maybe 1 in total cut-up, the normal amount for a Pho place, despite 3 of us. The 3pc fried Thai *egg roll* is now a 2pc, same price. Three of us had two appetizers, 3 bowls of Pho, and left hungry for nearly 80$. I'm disappointed as hell. I don't know if it's new owners or something, but this isn't the palce anymore. However, they renovated, I guess it's got that going for it now.
