Great experience but the waitress pretty much ignored us. We love this restaurant and will go back.

Nothing like eating out for close to $100 to have food spilled on you by your sever and not have anything comped off your bill to make up for your dirty outfit. Food was good though.

Our server Abby couldn’t have been more accommodating and efficient. The owner was lovely! My friend and I found the restaurant through Google as we were looking for a good place for pho while traveling North on Rt81. Our pho was delicious. Love the atmosphere, service, quality of the food, and covered free parking right across the street. Don’t miss this gem of a restaurant please!

Said closed at 9PM got there 8:30PM told we had 1 min to order - were traveling and have allergies Gluten Dairy- thank goodness we got served. Pho was flavorful broth and large portion, lots of rice noodles, good amount of brisket, jalapeño, and bean sprouts w 1/2 lime. Other plate had generous portion of rice veggies and the chicken for good price! Place is no frills for ambiance, but for a college area just fine!Parking: Free at night.

Visited Beyond with colleagues and a job candidate. We went early, so the noise level was fine and the atmosphere quaint, but by the time we left, it was pretty busy and quite loud. I can't speak for anyone else in my party, but I found my entree--Vietnamese noodles with chicken--to be very disappointing. First, my entree looked exactly like the Drunken Noodles our candidate ordered--same vegetables, same noodles, same presentation. I wasn't expecting wide flat noodles--I thought it would be served with thin rice noodles. The wide noodles would have been fine except they were all clumped together and super solid in the middle of the clump. Not very appetizing. In addition, the entree was VERY spicy and contained A LOT of Thai Basil. The description didn't mention Thai basil or it being spicy. I almost wonder if I wasn't served the someone else's Drunken Noodles by mistake. Beyond the spiciness, the entree lacked flavor otherwise. Had we not been with a candidate, I would have sent it back. As it were, I took most of the entree home to my husband, who also agreed it was not good. I am a little embarrassed we took a candidate there. Harrisonburg definitely has better to offer.

We wandered in here and enjoyed the variety of Asian dishes to choose from. The pho was good but the bibimbop was cold like a salad with bland shredded veggies. In my humble opinion, bibimbap should be piping hot in a clay pot! We got the kimchi to remediate which helped but wasn’t exceptional. The service was good though!

BLUF: tasty for the most part, but lacking in small ways. Needs more attention to detail so that the food you get matches the description on the menu. Four of us ate on a Monday night. Banh MI and fries: fries were tasty but kinda soggy. On the Banh Mi the pork was delicious, but veggies weren't pickled. it was basically a pork sandwich. Drunken Noodles: very tasty. but not spicy the way it was advertised. Angry Salmon Sushi Roll: pretty good sushi. but the menu said it was seasoned salmon, and it wasn't seasoned. The only heat was from a sliced raw jalapeño placed on top. A jalapeño which, because it was so hot, pretty much drowned out the flavor of the sushi. Chicken Vermicelli: chicken was very tasty, but there weren't enough vegetables and it was underdressed. Hot and Sour soup: the best part of the dinner. Wonderful. with bog pieces of flavorful mushroom BLUF: all the food was very tasty, but most of it was missing some attention to detail

I had very high hopes for this place but ended up hating my time here due to the waitress and her very terrible attitude and service. I have traveled to 30 states and over 45 cities in the US. I have rarely spoken to service I've received, let alone bad service, but this was truly terrible.

I ordered the Teriyaki chicken. The presentation was poor, sort of a soupy mess with a dollop of rice on top. It was rather tasteless with almost no teriyaki flavor. Was pretty underwhelmed.

Food was good. But the girl working the bar seemed upset that either we had a baby with us (who was not whining and we ensured any mess was cleaned up even from the floor prior to leaving) or that we were just an inconvenience to be bar patrons. I paid $100 on a $70 tab and she still wanted nothing to do with us. Never checked on us and also rolled her eyes when I asked for a bag. Felt very unwelcomed and uncomfortable speaking to her.

If you're looking for really good tasting Asian food, this is the place. Their drink menu is tasty as well... Must experience....

I come to Harrisonburg every month or so for work, and Beyond has become a go-to restaurant for me because of one menu item--their hot and sour soup! The other dishes I've gotten before (pad thai, drunken noodles, various sushi) are fairly average, but the hot and sour soup keeps me coming back each visit. It's very flavorful, perhaps because of the shiitake mushrooms they use. Service is very prompt...my food has generally come out in 5-10 minutes of my order.
