50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Oakton

“came here due to it's availability to be opened during July 4th. so you can imagined I had the place all to myself!

started off w the traditional phở special and the Vietnamese iced coffee. phở was underwhelming... definitely on the lighter side. even w the extra trimmings it was ok @ best. the coffee was also not as rich and flavorful as a straight drip chicory coffee w sweet condensed milk would offer. you can tell by the light coloration of the glass as soon as it was brought out.

the highlight of the meal was the fried crab & pork rolls. you can hear the kitchen frying it up because the rolls are usually prepped ahead of time and fried to order, which usually doesn't take long. I enjoyed it a lot dipping w the fish sauce. the first bite didn't looked like it had a good amount of crabs but the 2nd piece showed it; just a comparison of the way the fillings looked even though both were plenty.

overall: if I'm here I'd try something else. it was good experience.“

“Great food. They serve authentic Vietnamese food. Everything is well plated with family style portions“

“The menu was extensive and slightly $$$. Drinks were pricey. However, surprisingly the portions were sharable and delicious! Presentation was fab. The 3 of us shared a whole fish(1-2 people 2lbs) and a risotto. The fish dish was presented beautifully w lettuce, basil, cilantro and threaded noodles w a sauce to make lettuce wrap with the deboned whole fish. It’s was a fabulous meal!“

“Flutura was a wonderful server. Excellent pizza!“

“I’ve been to many pho restaurants. This is by far the best one I’ve ever been to. Broth is so clean and flavorful. Meat always fresh. The service lets not talk about the service. Every time I feel like I’m a guest in their home and given the utmost sincere care and service. I feel like part of their family .“

“The best banh mi sandwich you will find, the bread is baked fresh on premises. All the ingredients are fresh. This is only one of two Pho restaurants in the country that has pipping hot stone bowl, the other one is 3K miles away. Try the vegetable Pho, there is nothing like it anywhere, absolutely amazing, you need to request it. The chicken Pho is the best you will find. Everything on the menu is great. The owner is there to greet customers. The staff is absolutely the best.“

“Banh mi and generally the prepared foods“

“I brought my parents here for a late/light lunch and they loved it. Veggies were fresh and crisp, noodles cooked to perfection, and the (halal!) beef and shrimp were delish. My mom is usually a
harsh critic when eating out, but she was surprisingly pleased with everything here. They also liked the spring rolls, and though the staff was super kind and helpful when informing us after placing our orders what wasn't halal and offered to swap out. Overall, this place was a hit!“

“Exelent food and service I'll give them 5 stars I strong recommend“

“I’ve been here a few times since they opened and every time the staff & owner have always been very friendly and attentive. The food is great. I’ve had the pho every time. I’ve also had the spring & crispy rolls. I’ve never been disappointed. My coworker got the banh mi and say I need to try next time. I’m looking forward to it.“

“Amazing food..beautiful establishment with the friendliest staff“

“They have so many dishes on the menu. It’s so hard to decide what to order every time I go. I just keep coming back for different dishes 😍👍😇🍽🥢🍜“

“Delicious banh mi and boba! Do yourself and get the Pink Mango w/lychee jelly and thank me later!!
The staff is also very nice and sweet and I loved how the recommended different fruit tea drinks for me because they knew how much I liked them.
Their specialty dishes are also delicious. The Ube Vietnamese coffee we tried was delicious and their Pink Mango slush was amazing! Their fruit tea was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any drink. I want to try their salted coffee next!“

“We greatly enjoyed our meals tonight. My daughter had Pho and my son and I had Bun.“

“love this place. the decor is simple but very nice atmosphere. we ordered the pho and ramen and they were very good. the broth is yummy. the is a lot of chicken in the ramen. the service was quick and friendly. there was a steady stream of take out orders. definitely returning.“

“Update: I went back and the sweet &spicy wings are so good! And the worker today was more personable

The customer service isn’t very friendly but who cares somewhat! lol when the food is good! I had the chicken bahn mi and fried egg rolls all was very very good! And they had plenty of toppings on the sandwich. I highly recommend and will definitely be going back.“

“The pho here is pretty good, and the service was pretty quick. Quicker than some of the pho restaurants I’ve been to. If I had one thing that could be better, it would be for the the beef tripe in the pho to be a bit softer. It felt a bit tough, and sometimes felt like I was choking on it. Also, the summer rolls was great, but I was disappointed that, despite saying no peanut sauce, they still served peanut sauce. At least it was corrected.

I give points for service because my friend was stuck in traffic, while I came about half an hour earlier, but they accommodated him by allowing him to order ahead and have the food delivered to the table while he was en route.

Vegetarian options: They offer vegetarian rice vermicelli, and veggie noodle soup.

Dietary restrictions: Could do better with accommodating people with allergies.

Parking: Parking is a bit cramped and can be restricted because of the nearby Trader Joe’s.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids’ size pho with choice of well-done flank or meatballs.“

“I love the food from this restaurant! It’s always clean, and the portion sizes are decent . We ordered the grilled pork with vermicelli, noodle soup, fried rice, and shaky beef — all consistently delicious and satisfying. We definitely will come back.“

“We recently visited this newly opened restaurant and tried the beef noodle soup, fried rice, and bún thịt nướng. The interior is spacious and inviting, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The beef noodle soup has a wonderful aroma, and the thinly sliced meat is great. The rice noodles are also good. I like the authentic vegetables, like banana flower and cabbage.

However, the soup itself was too salty such that finishing the bowl felt loke a chore, which was a shame because all the other ingredients were great. My overall experience here was still positive.“

“Family favorite! Good traditional pho house with tasty soup that doesn’t skimp! Not greasy soup either with good flavor and amounts of meat that’s lean unlike other places. Great prices. Have been coming here for over 30 years!
Warning *cash only*“

“Super Pho in Herndon, VA, hands down, has the best PHO in the Northern VA area! The summer rolls w/ peanut sauce are fresh and always hit the spot. The PHO tastes so much better than any PHO I've ever tasted in the NOVA, DC, or MD. The serving sizes never leave you hungry, and the price leaves you happy to be able to come back, again & again. The Thai Tea is worth a try, and the service is always fast and friendly. I highly recommend everyone try it so they can see why we should continue to support businesses like this. I truly can't wait for Super Pho to open back up... I'm going through Super Pho withdrawals! Lol“

“There are so many pho restaurants in NOVA, but Pho Hai Duong has quickly become my favorite. I order their combination pho with extra hoisin and jalapeños at least once a week, and with their early opening hours I can even get pho for breakfast! I love the quality of their meat, the flavor of their broth, and the consistency of the meal each time I order. I definitely recommend this restaurant and feel spoiled to be able to eat there so regularly. 💯“

“The gluten free options here are amazing! We’re coming from Baltimore and DC to eat here and it’s well worth the drive. Not to mention the very hospitable staff. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I came here for the comfort of a hot bowl of pho on a cold windy day and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was the right thing to do.

My large bowl of Pho 24 was generously filled with protein and delicious, soft-silky noodles. The broth had depth and flavor that satisfies the craving you get fulfilled with only pho.

The goi cuon was neatly rolled and also packed with noodles, the usual veggies, and nicely sized shrimp lined in a row. The accompanying sauce was delicious and I let each bite swim in it before it disappeared.

The restaurant was clean and the light-hearted karaoke instrumental in the background made me feel like I’m just chillin at my aunt’s house.

Come get it.“

“The broth was aromatic and flavorful without even needing to add any fixings, generous with the meat and the service was prompt honestly best bowl of pho I’ve had in a while, I put in a little hoisin and siracha but it was incredible both ways“

“This is great Pho, would totally recommend. Awesome fast service :)“

“The portions were generous overall, but the amount of meat was a bit lacking. The staff were friendly, but since we were in a group, they seemed to mix up our orders—we had to swap dishes among ourselves. There was no wait and the place was relatively quiet, which was nice. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if I'm nearby and need a quick meal, I might stop by again.“

“Very very tasty phở!!! This is a good place for Vietnamese food .“

“the absolute BEST pho ive ever had. i crave pho sate at least once a week and have never been disappointed when i go. very consistent food quality and service. ive introduced all my friends and family to this place and they’re all equally as obsessed as me! the fried tofu pho is my go to!“

“We tried Pho Kim and the Kim rice platter, both were very delicious. This restaurant has a pleasant ambience and the service is top-notch. We'll be back soon to try other dishes.“

“my grilled chicken bánh mì was super delicious. thank you! I just wish you'd bring back the tofu in the vegetarian certain so my husband would have some protein in his!“

“Pho Royal in Sterling is a solid choice for Vietnamese comfort food. I recently stopped by with family, and we enjoyed a variety of dishes. The Crispy Fried Egg Rolls were a standout—crispy on the outside and flavorful inside, served with a tangy dipping sauce. The Pho Chin Nam Gau Gan, featuring well-done brisket, flank, fatty brisket, and tendon, had a rich broth and tender meats. However, I noticed a bit too much MSG in the pho, which was a bit overpowering.

We also tried the Bun Bo Nuong Xa Cha Gio, a rice vermicelli dish with grilled lemongrass beef and an egg roll. The beef was well-seasoned and grilled to perfection, and the egg roll added a nice crunch. The combination of flavors was satisfying. The only downside was the wait time; it took longer than expected for our food to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't too busy.

Overall, Pho Royal offers a variety of flavorful dishes in a casual setting. While the MSG in the pho was a bit much and the wait time was longer than anticipated, the quality of the food and the friendly staff made up for it. If you're in the area and craving Vietnamese cuisine, it's worth a visit.“

“Good food and good customer service, highly recommend“

“First time coming here I tried the Shrimp and a pork fresh spring rolls they were delicious. The girl was very friendly when I came To pick up my food.“

“Good food and good customer service, highly recommend“

“Sure! Here's a review for you:

Pho, Banh & Grill is an absolute gem! My fiancé and I drive all the way from DC every time we crave halal pho, and it’s always worth the trip. Their beef and chicken pho is simply delicious and amazing, with rich, flavorful broth and tender, halal-certified meat. The attention to quality and authenticity is clear in every bowl. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make the experience even better. If you're in Virginia and looking for the best halal pho, this is the place to go!“

“👍👍👍👍👍! 1st been ! My family love food and service! Can’t wait to coming back ! Mon an rat ngon dam da huong vi Vn“

“Everything was delicious! Can’t wait to go back!! The sauces I need to be bottled, they were so good!! I loved the lemongrass pork!!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The server who runs the place is incredible—she always remembers our orders and provides such attentive and friendly service. It truly feels like she goes above and beyond to make every visit special.

And the pho? Simply delicious! It’s flavorful, comforting, and hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional.“

“So far the best food ever!“

“Great short-fuse feast. Friendly service. Will be back!!“

“Hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in NoVA. Banh cuon is my favorite dish and they make JUST like how my grandma use to make it. I always order that with extra meat.

They hook it up. Family owned restaurant & everyone is nice. Dine in & take out worthy.“

“The food was fresh and delicious!“

“Been going here for years, the food is always delicious and the prices are great! The staff are always so sweet and during my last trip I left my purse and the lady ran outside in the rain to find me. This place has been a staple in my life for a long time and I hope for them to last forever!“

“Great short-fuse feast. Friendly service. Will be back!!“

“Although it's pretty standard for a pho place, everything is done well and simply. I like that the decor is still new and fairly quiet, no piped music or loud TV, just clean wood tables and chairs and fast service. Pho is always out in minutes.

I also like that there's just a rack of spoons and chopsticks, plus the usual sauces, so you always have what you need and don't need to ask. Bonus points for having spicy chili oil right on the table, some places charge a buck for this, but here you're free to load up. It's great for dipping the flank meat.

Flavor of the pho is quite good, prices are typical... 11 bucks but then all the meats add cost until you end up paying like 15-18. Can recommend for someone looking for a chill, roomy, quiet spot with plenty of seating and good food.“

“excellent food and service!!!!!!!!!“

“The food is always fresh. No long wait to get food. Service is some of the best! My favorite is the seafood pho, always hot and full of flavor!!“

“Tasty food. Good Prices.“

“Kim is an exceptional lady, who took the time to explain her roots, and the way her food is different than other Vietnamese restaurants, and how her mom inspired many of the menu items.
However when you have folks who are preparing the food, who don't understand the culture, concept, and passion behind the dishes, somethings might slip through the cracks...
Like how long do you leave rice paper in the water before it starts to rip, or shrimp paste is supposed to smell like that, and it is to be eaten that way, or how to properly wash your bones when you make a stock, and not leave it smelling or tasting gamey.
Although Kim explained her version of the famous dish Bun Bo Hue, the place where her family comes from, there were minute details which I didn't care for, and I missed the usual garnished that are served with the dish, however authentic they might or might not be.
The Pho was good, a big portion of meat.
The star of my lunch were the crispy Wontons, perfectly balanced with the sweet chili sauce.
Overall a cute spot, will go back to try more dishes“
