“Stumbled upon this absolute gem while exploring Eden Center. All four dishes we got: tofu pad Thai, beef drunken noodles,beef boat soup and pork belly with green beans, were amazing! This is the definition of a hole in the wall and we are so grateful we found it! We are already planning our next trip!“
“I recently discovered a hidden gem of a Thai restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, and it exceeded my expectations. Intrigued by the chef’s recommendation, I tried the Kuay Teaw Koow Gai, a delightful noodle dish. The flavors were exceptional, and if you’re seeking authentic Thai cuisine, I highly recommend this place for a delicious culinary experience.“
“The pho here is great, but the other dishes are also really really good. It's always difficult to choose between pho and something else. It's still our go to pho place with the added benefit that you can get something else other than the pho.“
“November 2023 - I've visited Hai Duong many times over the years. Menu has increased and it's a solid restaurant for pho and rice dishes. Though the last time the boiled chicken was dry. Friendly staff, quick to respond. Clean. Do recommend.“
“Things to note:* only pho soup* can order small or large* can add a bowl of noodles on the side* cash only* no veggie soup options; so don’t ask* family/large group friendly restaurant* parking can be limited and people tend to drive a little recklessly —> so park far and walk off the extra noodle carbs on the way back.It’s fantastic, flavorful, and fresh!The noodles are great, the meat is tender, the coffee ????? slaps. I got the iced Vietnamese coffee with the crack- milk (condensed milk).It’s a family restaurant. Big groups, kids, and hungover college students reside here.Service is quick. Sat down, ordered, food came out in 5 minutes! And it was packed!Once you’re done, just go up to the counter and pay. Cash only.You can walk next door and grab rice cakes, tapioca cakes, or sesame balls. Can also grab Bahn mi for dinner later. The ? is ???.“
“The food was great and so was the service. The cashier that helped us out was very friendly, he was walking around cleaning the entire time we were there and he even checked up on the tables to make sure everything was okay. Will definitely be our go-to noodles and company!“
“Jinya is one of our goto spots - the food is great, the service even better... especially Antonio and Sharp behind the bar - they not only are professional and efficient, but also friendly and fun - enough to make us only want to sit at the bar when we come in!“
“Carlos was the best bartender and the food was deliciousParking: The parking is free on the street which is wonderfulKid-friendliness: You can also bring your family and friends as well. The food is great with vegan choices and my favorite is the spicy chicken ramen if you like to eat meat?“
“The absolute best bun bue hue and the area. Soup has very good authentic flavor and very good portions. Bun bue hue did not disappoint. Maybe the best bun bue hue I've had in the area. It was my first time here found them on uber eats and went to pick it up cause it was cheaper. Can't wait to try there all beef traditional pho. I've literally been to a majority of pho places in there area this was is top quality. The restaurant name bistro speaks for itself.“
“My husband and I went here and were seated right away. The service was excellent the entire visit. We wanted to try as many things as possible so we ordered from their pre fixed menu option. Our table was pretty small So the table got really crowded fast! Food was pretty good, the fried fish was surprisingly my favorite. Meal ended with a dessert too. Nice touch. We will definitely be going back and requesting a booth instead of the table because we rarely order one or two items.“
“Incredible food, vibrant atmosphere, the smell of succulent grilled meats and curries and lemongrass just stimulate your senses, and the warm, caring hospitality of the servers make for a memorable dining experience! We can’t wait to go back on a regular basis!“
“Love this place! I come in all the time and get the fried rice, but the curry and pad thai are also excellent.Vegetarian options: Not every dish on the menu can be served without meat, but many can! Tofu is an option for lots of the dishes that would normally have meat, and many of the curries don't have meat either.“
“I went to Yu Noodles with two friends recently. An exciting new discovery. Food is delicious and authentic, service is very good-friendly and courteous. The only compliant I have is there’s a strong smell of air refresher-suggest using something lighter and more natural.“
“Wonderful little place. The decor is cheerful and attractive, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent.I asked for them to remake an order because I ordered while they were closed and but they made it anyway and we're waiting for me and I just didn't pick it up when I saw the closed sign. It was completely my mistake, not theirs. Not only did they offer to make it right multiple times, even though there was nothing to make right since it was my fault, but they insisted on giving me a free Thai tea anyway.They recognize me every time I come in. I always feel so welcome here. My coworker and I frequently get lunch here. Tofu is prepared really well and they actually have some of the only Thai tea in the area that has the right balance of milkiness.“
“Nothing much to say except this is the best Pho place you can find around here! I visit this place frequently. Also, bring cash!The broth is top-notch, rich and tasty with the right aroma. Generous portion. Even the small bowl has a lot of noodles and meat. You can a la carte what meat you want, that’s an authentic experience. Or you can order from their pre-selected menu. All amazing, just order the cut you want. Extra for onion with vinegar, but it’s super good.My only complaint is that the pho noodle itself could be better. A bit too chewy for my taste and not fresh.The servers is always quick and precise with your order. No complaint at all.Vegetarian options: Almost no offeringParking: Plenty of parking within the lot. Share with other restaurants.Kid-friendliness: Big party with kids can be accommodated.“
“Ordered take away on line and it was ready when I walked in. Ben searching for a place with a decent vermicelli bowl. This is the best I’ve had in the area. Service was friendly and quick. Online ordering was quick & simple. Definitely will order from here again.“
“Authentic Yunnan cuisine. Fast service. Great options. Starters were excellent. Vegetarian options available pretty much for all the menu items. Cucumber roll starters and mushrooms were great. Mains portions are large enough to share. Another thing to note is that they provide corkage- so feel free to bring your own wine.“
“All Pho options are amazing. It was the coolest winter day and we decided to try this restaurant. We were so happy because we love Pho, and the big surprise is that this restaurant is a Fusion with Latin dishes. We ate amazings Cheese Pupusas (El salvador), Inca Kola (Peru). It was amazing to find in one place a variety of great food from Vietnam (Kind of spring rolls, but the doug was clear, sorry I don't have the name) The Phos we all tried were delightful. Service was incredible. I hope the neighborhood support since we need more like this restaurant♥“
“Some of friends recommend me this place. I am so excited to try and it isn’t regret.The decorations are so lovely with traditional Japanese Sakura and clean … i am so surprising that they have beep spicy noodles soup that i haven’t get for long time .i am so happy that i try it and it makes me don’t disappointed … also they service here very good … one of they lady who is very professional serve us …she gave us the Mochi ice cream for my dessert . it tastes super delicious. Everything was perfect and highly recommended for this place“
“Mouthwatering food Healthy portions Repeat-eligible Surprisingly delicious seafood for such a landlocked nationality. Nice decor, great flavors, adequate pricing, and quaint location. The Uyghur salad was so good, I had it for an appetizer and then again for dessert. My whole family was thrilled from start to finish with every dish we ordered. The restrooms could use some TLC, but everything else was top notch.“
“We were here very recently and enjoyed every aspect of our meal. Very homely, fresh vibes with clean tables and decorative plants spread throughout. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Food came out fast (appetizer first), then meals. Not a ton of rice, but meal portions were large! We had the crispy green beans, chicken green curry, and fried pork. Everything was delicious, vegetables tasted so fresh and each dish, so flavorful. Curry was incredible, but will likely order spice level 2 next time as 3 was just slightly too hot (but not unbearable).Thai iced tea offered a sweet balance to the savory and spicy flavor from the food.Looking forward to coming back and trying some more of the authentic thai dishes!“
“Second time here with my husband and I absolutely love this place. Their food is amazing. Love their asian rolls and curry Puff appetizers. Definitely recommend. Love the spiciness of their dishes and the levels of spiciness they offer. Their Thai tea is so full of flavor and so delicious. If you have not visited this place, you should. It won't disappoint. Great service. Friendly staff. The mango sticky rice dessert is out of this world. So delicious!!!“
“Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular.“
“Really neat, cozy spot for homestyle Japanese food + interesting wine and a large sake menu. We enjoyed sitting at the bar upstairs, and particularly loved the special black cod with miso, the snap peas, and the fried rice. Everything was made with care and presented in an elegant yet approachable fashion. Looking forward to returning the next time I am in DC.Vegetarian options: There is a section of the menu devoted to vegetable dishes, as well as tofu, vegetable tempura, and vegetarian fried rice or noodles.“
“Tasty Thai lunch in Old Town! Tried sleepy shrimp for the first time and they were very good: juicy shrimp wrapped in a wonton wrapper and served with a sweet chili sauce. We also enjoyed the balanced Thai iced tea, pad Thai with chicken, spring rolls and pad ginger with shrimp. Ample portions and comfortable seating combined with excellent service made for a wonderful rest from an afternoon of shopping. Thank you!“
“we visited this place on 3/15/24 it was a short walk from out hotel. small quiet clean place. the server/hostess lady was very nice. she answered all our questions about ingredients in a couple dishes and made recommendations. service was very fast only a few mins between when 1 course was done until the next one arrived. the food was so flavorful and rich every bite was an explosion of flavor. probably one of the best asian noodle dishes ive ever had. i recommend the drunken noodles the spice level was perfect.Vegetarian options: all the dishes have a vegetarian or meat options very accommodating.“
“- the pad see ew was very good. It was fresh and had a really good flavor.- staff were friendly.- service was quick.- place was clean and organized.- inside was nice and quiet with a good atmosphere.- plenty of parking.- overall a good first experience here.“
“Went here for casual lunch with coworkers and had not been before (but a coworker had been here before) and was super happy with what we got. I got the garlic rice veggie bowl with peanut sauce. I liked the crispy tofu, garicky rice, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. My only regret was not getting the crispy spring rolls. I really enjoyed the large portion size for price and if you cannot finish you can get lids that they have to go.Lunch is really busy and it’s chaotic but it was fast given the lunch rush and it’s super casual. I am looking forward to going back!Vegetarian options: Has veggie options“
“I do wish I was able to taste a bit more miso and have a larger portion, but other than that... these noodles were tasty! I stopped by around noon during the week, and there were a good amount of people there enjoying their lunch. I think I waited about 10-15 minutes before my order was ready. Inside is spacious with tall ceilings, and felt "green" if you know what I mean.“
“My wife and often escape our condo office for their tasty and inexpensive lunch. We also get delivered food from them. No delivery charge, but we tip the driver well. We love their eggplant dishes, meaty spare ribs, duck and so far almost everything on their extensive menu.“

“Came here on Easter Sunday for some pho. My friend and I got the same beef noodle pho special, crispy spring rolls, and an order of wings. The pho was excellent, and the spring rolls were hot, crispy, and tasty! The wings could use some improvements, but they were crispy. The service was friendly and attentive. I'll be back for more!“
“I am sure Korean food is the best when tasted in Korea. That's why I'm not a big fan of Korean restaurants abroad. However this one, Rice Bar in DC satisfied me for real. 다만 제 느낌에 1회용 숫가락이 좀더 크면 좋겠고 젓가락에 일본어 적힌 점이 아쉽.. 그래도 또 들리고 싶네요.“
“Cozy and quiet spot for flavorful Japanese food and small plates (izakaya)They have a large menu and nice staff. Plus, there was some soft jazz playing on the speakers.I really loved their kitsune udon! Broth tasted rich, each topping tasted fresh, and the noodles were cooked perfectly chewy.“

“Can I give this restaurant six stars?I loved everything about this pho restaurant. Their spring rolls were great, their pho was perfect, and the service? Way better than I would have thought possible. Let me tell you a story.I was eating, enjoying about a half bottle of Sriracha and chili sauce with my pho, and the server would just roll around and refill my water as I kept chugging. I had an urgent work situation and was on my phone, went up to pay, and left. I had a freak-out moment and drove back to ask if I'd left my wallet in the restaurant, and they bent over backwards to try to help me find it. A server even helped me dig through my car to look for it!So, dismayed and not having found it, I drove back home. Parked my car and it was on the floor under some clothes in the back because I'm an idiot, but still. How great is this place?“
“Ok firstly our pickup order did take an hour to be prepared but it was so good. The crab Rangoons were filled and crunchy! The Singapore noodles and general tso had great flavor. I was so impressed. You can tell it's a hard working family that runs this place“
“I have tried pho restaurants all over Virginia. I've had friend's grandmothers and aunties hit me with the homemade pho. I thought I had greatness but hands down this place kicks all the others in the booty big time. The broth is so clean and flavorful. I've had it hungover and I left the broth out; not one piece of congealed fat from how clean it is. Whoever is making this broth must be protected at all times and I want to send her birthday presents“
“Good food, lots of vegan, gluten and accommodating needs for dietary restrictions. Sort of pricey for noodles and unfortunately redeeming app points don't include proteins, they cost extra so that's sort of annoying. Great staff and weird how good the music playlists are.Vegetarian options: Many different types of meals that don't use meat.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free noodles, zucchini noodles, cauliflower noodles are all options aside from regular flour pasta noodles“
“For several years my family and I have been coming to Pho restaurant. As you step into large restaurant you notice a sense of freshness and cleanliness. Our favorite server Tony has the upmost professionalism bringing top quality service, very respectful, polite and with great customer service skills. We admire everyone’s dedication to making sure customer leaves happy with the service. Among various delicious food, we recommend crispy chicken wings, veggie spring rolls and beef pho soup. Tropical fruit tea and passion fruit tea are our favorite drinks :)“
“I went to this place for my birthday and I have to say that it was a great experience. My family and I shared the Bún bò Huế (spicy noodles), hoành thánh chiên (fried wontons), Gà xào húng quế (Thai basil chicken), and Bánh hỏi đặc biệt (Vermicelli platter). The food was so good, my favorite was the Bánh hỏi đặc biệt. The owner went around to every table and checked up on everybody and our waters were being refilled constantly. Everyone was really nice. They don't typically do anything special for birthdays, but the owner gave me a free mango sticky rice!! Even after we paid and started to leave, the owner came out to us and recommended the ice cream place next door. I really appreciate family businesses and loved to see that traditional foods are still very accessible to people with dietary restrictions. I am 100% visiting again.Dietary restrictions: Many of their dishes can be made vegan easily and they have a glutton free menu.“
