“- 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.“
“First time here, Ordered the Alfredo MontAmore® with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken. Pleasantly a good size portion. Could use a bit more chicken but maybe because I like consuming so much meats. Flavoring and pasta texture was cooked nicely for a fast food type of restaurant. I would say its close to Olive garden(maybe not all of their entrees, but this one was on par). Nice atmosphere and worker was friendly. Would be one of my to go if you would like pasta to go.“
“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!“
“We went to check out the new Padaek in Arlington after having been to the Falls Church location a few times. This one is nice, service is amazing, and the food is good. Buuuuuuttttt, it's different...I like my food spicy, and knew to order it "Lao spicy". When it arrived at the table, I could see that it just had a bunch of chilis added. This gives it a bit of spice, but is more like a level 3 out of 5. It was just lacking the heat as when ordering spicy at the other location. Obviously, they don't want to overwhelm their guests with spice, but if you're asking for that level of heat, you obviously want it. Oh well...it's good, and the flavors are tasty...but the other location feels more authentic.“
“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.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“What a surprise! I walk past this place all the time. After reading the reviews I stopped in. whoa. Nice extensive menu, friendly staff. Quick service. Very tasty and flavorful Vietnamese food. I noticed people at the next table didn’t finish their pho. Hmmm, something wrong, I wondered? Then my bowl of noodles with beef flank steak came out. Delicious. In spite of my good intentions, I couldn’t finish it all! I can hear my mother in the background berating me about the starving kids in Biafra, etc. Hey! I’m 70 years old and still hear that. We had the summer rolls and the sausage rolls for appetizers. They were very good as expected. My wife had grilled chicken over rice and lots of fresh veggies to mix in as desired. This has been inserted near the top of our favorite restaurants list.“
“Great pho! Probably the best in the area. But, if you're expecting nice, courteous staff members, you won't find it here. Not to say they're mean, though. Their single purpose is to seat, serve, and separate you from the building to make room for the next people. Still, if you can look past the lack of friendliness, it's great pho!Parking: dd“
“We have a go to Thai restaurant in Burke but I thought we'd look for another that might be better. This place was a pleasant surprise. Ordered vegetable soup, ginger fanatic, and pad Thai. The soup was just right. The veggies were crisp and soup was not loaded with sodium. The soup was enough for 2 people. The ginger fanatic with shrimp and brown rice was excellent The sauce was light so you could taste shrimp and crisp vegetables. Maybe they could add a little more broccoli. Ginger was the right amount. A little bite to the flavor. The pad Thai was light and not too heavy. Again, right amount of sauce. The serving size was enough for 2 people. Ordered on line and pickup was on time. Server was very pleasant There are a few tables but we took it home The menu was extensive so we will be back Thank you from the Flash!“
“This place is the ultimate sleeper. Came in sweatin a little bit because of the lack of asian representation in the building. Came out egregiously full and happy as can be. The man that runs this establishment was beyond kind and his granddaughter who served us was respectfully and also kind. On top of the excellent service, the food is what truly hit the spot. The pho was some of the best I have ever had. The broth was flavorful to the point no condiments or extras were required. You can shower in that stuff. The chef was generous with the meat and he filled our bowls to the brim. Pupusas also went stupid. Crazy concept to have Salvadorian and Vietnamese fusion but it works. At the end of the day, I satisfied two deep cravings of a gnarly pupusa and some refreshing pho. Absolute sleeper. Had to get rolled out the restaurant because I gained a solid 30lbs from our exceptional meal.“

“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Dropped in after a massage next door. I was looking for a light meal. I ordered the ThomKa soup, with shrimp and the Kanom Jeab steamed dumplings. Both were delicious. The soup had a nice touch if spice. The dumplings came with a light dipping sauce. I'll be back“
“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 ???.“
“Authentic Chinese flavors! If you’re craving yummy rice noodles, Yanzi House has tons of great options. We tried the pork and mushroom and beef flank options. Both were tasty. I haven’t had thick rice noodles like these since living in China. Be sure to also get the beef burrito and calimari. This was all so good! We’ll be back!“
“We loved their buffalo chicken Mac & cheese. Zucchini Rosa with grilled chicken was really good too, expected lil more salt but overall felt very good eating it. Good healthy options. Order was quick to deliver as well.Vegetarian options: Any base without meat. You’ll have many veggies to add like spinach, tomato, jalapenos, onions, broccoli, zucchini etc“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“

“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 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.“
“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“
“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“

“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?“
“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.“
“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“
“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“
“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!“
“My grandma, roommate, and I went here for dinner, and the food did not disappoint! The server was incredibly kind, and the food was AMAZING. We all got boba, (mango, taro, and passionfruit) and even my grandma said it was delicious!! My roommate and I both got the p31 and my grandma got the 45 I believe. All three bowls were incredibly flavorful, and full of meat and noodles. The summer rolls were also absolutely delicious. The food is a great price for the amount you get, and the restaurant was incredibly clean. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!!!!!“
“I ate here for the first time last week. I got a bowl called the drunken Italian and it was quite good. It was just the right level of spicy for me for lunch.Their menu is a good size and they seem very open to changes and alterations to fit your tastes. They are a good lunch time price point on a street with a whole lot of pricy spots.Not much seating so plan on getting it to go, maybe on a nice day to sit by the waterfront.“
“As a food enthusiast, I tried Uyghur cuisine for the first time and liked it. The spices used in the food were different from what I normally use to cook, but it was nice. The hand-pulled noodles were chewy and tasty, and the recommended Cold Noodle was absolutely tasty! Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm glad I tried something new.Parking: It's inside Main Street Center and it has plenty of parking spaces.“
“I was in the area and was looking for a place to sit down and have a quick dinner. I decided I wanted some Thai food and found Sugar Palm. The restaurant was quite empty except for one or two tables that were occupied. It didn't give me a great feeling, but it was a week night so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Service was quick and they came to take my order soon after I was seated. I ordered the kao soi from their menu which I enjoyed along with the spring roll that they brought out. Overall, the food was tasty.“
“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 :)“
“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.“
