We’ve been ordering from this place for years almost every Friday. We call it Pho Friday!! This is by far the best pho near Alexandria. They also expanded their menu so there’s lots of other choices like Bahn mi and rice bowls. I also love the smoothies they have! I will always order from here if I’m ever craving pho!

This place is the best! I come here after the gym and it’s such a great spot to chill. The food is amazing and the staff is great.

When you order large they will give small. When you ask combination they will give 1 type of meat. Terrible restaurant! Never coming back! Horrible! Can’t even apologize for their mistake!

The workers were, by far, what stood out for me. I enjoyed my meal for sure. But I appreciate the kind and warm personalities of those who work there. Thank you the welcoming atmosphere.

10000% authentic pho experience, and great prices! I believe it's cash only though

First time I ordered the rib pho. Solid. Second time I ordered ox tail. They gave me a rib pho. Not the end of the world. When I brought back the rib pho they took it to the kitchen. No evidence but I think they may be putting it away to serve later. I'm sick hence the pho. I really hope nobody has to eat food I touched. They gave me Thai tea though for the confusion which I appreciated.

I ordered an Uber Eats order from this restaurant, and I had to wait more than an hour. The restaurant didn't even let me know they were out of electricity so they couldn't make the food. I didn't know about this situation for an hour, and the restaurant didn't even contact me. I know they don't have electricity but they can't even call me? One of the many drivers (because the restaurant didn't cancel the order so the app kept assigning new drivers for my order, which also made it so inconvenient for the drivers) left a voicemail that the restaurant was out of electricity. I tried calling them multiple times and no answer. THE WORST customer service. PLEASE DON'T ORDER FROM HERE. No communication whatsoever to their customers.

This us my new favorite pho restaurant!! Everything was so delicious and fresh. I tried the hot stone pho special and it was fantastic. They brought the pho soup in a large stone bowl on a hot plate and all the meats and toppings on the side to assemble yourself. I haven't seen this at any other Vietnamese place ever. I can't say v enough how good the food was. The staff was very friendly and attentive when we wanted extra sides. When I called ahead to reserve a table they had it all set up for us before we even got there. The prices were very reasonable; for an appetizer, tea, a taro smoothie with boba and two Hot stone soup specials the total came to just over $50 before tip. That's a great deal in my book. We were both stuffed and had leftovers. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out!

I'll be honest, with a 4.2* rating, it was the last pho spot I looked at when looking for dinner. The hot stone pho bowl got my husband.

I got the #13 (eye round steak and well-done flank), and my husband got the Pho Hot Stone Beef Rib, as well as some egg rolls.

Egg rolls come out. They are HOT! I don't understand why some people say that they're not fresh. At least for us, they were delicious, hot, and fresh!

Then, come our entrees. The broth was flavorful but not overly seasoned or salted. My husband had a heart attack last year, and after a year of low-sodium foods, this pho didn't burn my tongue with copious amounts of salt.

I appreciated the size. It wasn't a huge portion, but we still had some to bring home. The older gentleman was hilarious as he brought the food out.

The server was nice and professional, but he wasn't as attentive once we got our food. I drank my Coke and water before we finished, but I just had my husband's water. It's not a big deal. We will be coming back.

The best fried rice in the area.

It is... remarkable... how often such a simple dish... falters. Too often... the... culinary execution... is heavy... oily... a travesty of flavor. This... establishment... avoids these... pitfalls. The rice... is light... fluffy... each grain... distinct. And the protein... satisfactory... not... desiccated as one so often... encounters. Indeed... remarkable. The best in the... immediate vicinity... I maintain.

The... vermicelli... with shrimp... also... of note. The... freshness... apparent. The vegetables... crisp... vibrant. A testament... to their... sourcing. Yes... quite... impressive. The service... adequate. The... delivery... of the meal... expeditious. Efficient... one might say. I... recommend... this... establishment. Consider it... a... favorable... evaluation.
