Vietnamese Restaurants near Mclean

“This place makes really good food. We enjoy coming here to have their lomein, and we have also tried their chicken dumplings, and teriyaki chicken and beef. Totally recommend the dumplings, which are also at a very affordable price ($4 for 5 pan friend or $3.50 steamed). Their beef lomein is extremely savory and just like a place that was in Ballston area (brings good memories!!), their chicken teriyaki is okay, not the best but not the worst either. Give them a shot. Also very happy about ordering on a screen (or you can also go to the counter), as some of us have social anxiety and it is a good option in case people don't want to interact much with anyone.“

“Delicious flavorful food with friendly service. Plentiful omnivore and vegan options. One of my favorites in all of Alexandria.“

“I have dropped in a few times now. The soups have been fantastic. Tom Yum lives up to being a classic. I also loved the main entrees Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle. The environment is very friendly, clean, and relaxing. The owner, and staff, greet customers with friendly smiles. I can let go of stress with each visit. I am planning more trips to eat my way through the extensive menu and enjoy some great smiles. Great selections available to share dishes.“

“Excellent food. Authentic Vietnamese taste. Very clean flavors.“

“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.“

“I WANTED TO THANK THE GUYS VERY MUCH FOR THESE PORK BELLY TACOS. YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING. SEE YOU IN MARCH FROM THE ROCKVILLE CREW“

“Best vegan restaurant in Washington DC. I like spending my outing time there. It’s an amazing place the staff are nice and welcoming. I prefer eating mom’s tofu & brown rice with a mango smoothie when I go there. Please try that I am sure you will love it.“

“I did a carry out. Being my first time, I was given recommendations by what looked to be an owner/operator. He was very accommodating as was the young lady present who was doing most of the cooking. The food were fresh and delicious. A huge thumbs up!“

“The meal was exquisite. The dishes were well presented, creative and delicious as well as showing upon rather generous, dare we say it, North American portions. Our server (and others passing) was/were fantastic but we did sit at the bar and not at a table. This was a choice that we consciously made because we were celebrating our 19th anniversary sans children. Intimacy. A few reviews complain about price or the lack of selections on the menu. All we can say is: post-COVID prices have gone up significantly but that is true for everything that we, as a community, consume today. It might be harder to stomach the price increases for discretionary expenses like a fancy meal. In any event, please do not expect 1980s or even 2019 prices. Secondly, yep, it is pricey, but it is worth every centime. The "limited" menu is what really good restaurants do, not to gouge you, but to spoil you with a core set of dishes that will tantalite the palate of almost every true gourmand. NUE hits the mark rather well. Finally, one kink in the armor, is how food is served today and how waitstaff interact with customers. Partly caused by the clash of generations, e.g., servers and the served may have 30 to 40 years between them, partly because due to COVID the new wave apparently did not get to learn from the OGs who did not return to the hospitality business sector, and is likely partly due to the pace of life in the DMV as practiced by folks with maybe too much money. That service process part needs to be ironed-out, but it is not just an issue at NUE, but at most, if not all, DMV fine food establishments. We, for one, will be back to NUE very soon. We just need to save up for it and we won't have to wait a year.“

“Really cannot say enough good things about Little Saigon. I’ve never had an issue with parking, and always feel comfortable and well taken care of when dining in. The staff are very friendly, and they tend to have fresh flowers on the tables, which is a sweet plus.I always order the chicken pho and the broth is insane. It’s clear and not too oily, you really can’t go wrong. I also have ordered the spring rolls which are again, so so good. Recently ordered the stir fry lemongrass tofu which was such a treat. It’s hard for me to go to other places because I love their pho broth so much.Parking: About ten or so spots in front of the restaurant.“

“Funny enough, this place was mentioned in a Reddit thread for hidden gems in DC. The food was highly praised, and the original poster gave a special shout out to the website (I highly recommend checking it out; it’s seriously a delight).This was enough for me to check it out for myself, and it was absolutely fantastic. Super reasonable prices, the girl who made my food was so sweet, and everything I had was delicious. I got a pork belly bahn mi and chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce.Solid food, solid experience ?“

“I'm no Pho expert, but have been around a few places, so this comes with perspective. Pho 75 meets all the marks of a good spot. Extensive options of pho, no comical fusion things, really good prices, and that's it. Show up, eat good, leave. I missed out on the coffee, but, over all very good.- Good Food- Good prices- Fast Service- Convenient locationShort review? Yep. To the point, this is the spot.“

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“Wow, what a beautiful restaurant and the food was so delicious. I love the decor and plants. The staff is outstanding. Their attention to detail is amazing. I loved my dish. I had vegetarian crêpe and a garden roll for an appetizer. Both were delicious. Also, the Vietnamese coffee was yummy.“

“Today I was in this place, and my first impression when I saw the beef soup I ordered was that it was very good, abundant and light, we also ordered some wings with the sauces on the side, and the frying of the wings was on point, crispy and juicy inside, it has been a very good experience, pleasant music and very good service. We hope to return soon.“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“I went in to order food to go and it was so fast, maybe 10 mins tops before I got my food and was headed on my way. A few other reviews said the people working here have limited English, but the woman who took my order had no problem chatting with me while I waited - she was super nice and welcoming! The menu has an English side and a Vietnamese side that match up, so you can just show them the number of what you want if you ever run into anyone with limited English. I'm not familiar with many Vietnamese dishes, so I'm excited to come back and keep trying more since the tofu dish I got was SO good!Dietary restrictions: The whole menu is vegan“

“Lantern House is a cute casual restaurant with a festive decor, a surprise find in a strip mall. If you are searching for Vietnamese-style crispy spring rolls, this is the place to go. Their other dishes are good too but the spring rolls really stand out. I give them 4 stars only because I haven't tried many dishes. I order mostly the spring rolls and other appetizers on the menu because I love them so much!“

“Vietnamese restaurant inside "mall" within Eden Center featuring less known culinary delights of central region of Vietnam. The bun bo Hue broth is authentic and flavorful with perfectly cooked noodles and proper cuts of meat. Highly recommend!“

“I had a fantastic lunch here on my first time. I went after doing my time at the gym. I had the crabby pho to try out a variety of what they serve. Also had a half-pound of crawfish, since I've never tried them before. The waitress was extremely polite and attentive, and I appreciate her patience with me.I got the hot spice on the crawfish, which was a great choice, not too spicy at all. Though if I had to give one complaint, it's that the crabby pho didn't have a spicier option. I could pour in siracha sauce but it wasn't quite enough for me.Unfortunately the place wasn't especially busy; probably because of whatever event was going on in Eden Center. Some might not like it being so empty, and might prefer to go at dinner time instead.Still I loved the food, I'm definitely going next week. Looking back I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in Eden Center.“

“This Vietnamese restaurant boasts a modern decor complemented by traditional twists, delectable dishes, and attentive service from the owner.Parking: Locates inside Eden Center where it has a big parking lot, though it gets really crowded on the weekends.“

“We love this local spot.. Awesome Pho… During the pandemic we ordered Uber Eats now we love to come sir down! Fresh and delicious..“

“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 very good and the service is speedy. Nice menu with some interesting choices. I had the rice noodle bowl with chicken and spring roll. I've had this dish many times at many other Vietnamese spots. This one was very good. Too many bean sprouts in my opinion. But, I don't like bean sprouts. Great sour/spicy fish sauce. The chicken was not dry and had good flavor. I will go back to try some other things.“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“The Pho Bo was wonderful! The taste was delicious, the meat and vegetables fresh perfectly complimentary to the meal. I do however regret my eyes being larger than my stomach and chosing the large size over the small size, but I ate my money's worth. I ordered a sweetened ice expresso that although tastey was not worth the price due to its size. (See pic below). But overall the restaurant was good. Clean seating, glasses, friendly staff, and I didn't even have to wait long for my food. Plenty of noodles and broth! 10/10 would come here again, based on what I've seen on other people's drinks like mine they are small, so just take that into account before buying because it is not like the pictures. I paid 16.95 (Small was 14.85), for a large pho bo bowl and could not finish it, I did notice that it costs 50 cents for each takeout container so if your a small eater either starve a few days before or prepared to chalk out some money to take home the leftover goods.TLDR:Good food, fresh ingredients, alright pho bo prices, disappointung drink size vs costWheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk is a little lacking in maintenance and a slight hill but you can make it here in anything with wheels. Minimal to 0 difficulty.“

“Had an amazing experience at this mom and pop restaurant. The service and vibe was akin to being at your asian grabdmother's house. Their specialty here is their broken rice platters. I had never tried it before and it was absolutely delicious! The meats had a bit of sweetness which paired amazing with the umami of the fish sauce on our rice. The ban bo hue was also delicious it was full of flavor and the meats in the soup were delicious. Overall a fun experience my best recommendation is to come here with an open mind particularly if you are new to Vietnamese food.“

“I’ve been on the hunt for authentic, mouth drooling bun rieu and the quest has been lackluster until I found this place. Walked in and immediately greeted by a lovely auntie, the owner and chef. She told me it’s a one woman show, and I can tell she put a lot of love in her cooking the moment my bowl came out! The crab meatball was massive and you can tell she used lump crab meat! There was also a unique herb that I haven’t seen provided. I can tell she doesn’t skimp on quality! Honestly, the prices were reasonable given the portion and quality.Even the complimentary iced tea provided was top shelf! It was pandan infused green tea that she said she imported from Vietnam from her personal family. Wow wow I’ll be back to support her!“

“Absolutely delicious pho. I ordered the beef pho with brisket and steak. Both were very nice portions, especially the pho - lots of steak. I was very impressed with set up and overall taste/freshness. I'll definitely be back“

“I visited here with a friend a while back and enjoyed our dinner. The place is decorated in traditional Asian style, and the food and service were lovely. However, we felt that the food had traces of MSG. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience.“

“Their banh cuon is freshly made and delicious. Staffs are super friendly. We also often order take out trays for family parties. It’s much easier to park in the back lot of Eden center and they are the first store from one of the back entrances.“

“All I can say is .... wonderful pho at this restaurant. Definitely reconmend!.“

“This spot is legit when it comes to Vietnamese food. It is a little pricier than the usual spots, but it is well worth it, and you can taste the quality of ingredients they use.The service is awesome, and they are very efficient.I love watching the Vietnamese cooking shows and the fish tank while I enjoy a meal.Try the Salted Plum Soda, it's my fav, I always get it to go for later, as I am so full after my meal.“

“what amazing good and service my guest loved at as i did again.“

“This place is sooo good. Pandan tofu fa is amazing. The coconut cream sago has a bit of salt in it, which makes it so unique. To be honest, this place just has sm variety of stuff and everything tastes so good too! There's a long line every time we go for a reason“

“I have eaten here a few times and am eager to return! Vegitarians and carnivores alike will be at ease here. Alex is an easy going, attentive professional who adds just the right touch to this establishment.The pho is the best I've had in this country. The spring rolls are crispy, generously filled and are available in 3 flavors including vegetarian. The pho broths also offer a number of different tasty bases including incredible ox tail and vegetables.One person I dined there with was very happy with their shrimp bowl. My son is a full on pho connoisseur and rates this place as a strong 2nd favorite in the country.It's not a place you go for the ambiance though it's not at all distasteful, just simple. If you are a sauce fan, ie for spring rolls, don't hesitate to order a second container.“

“Round up to 4 stars! Shrimp/pork lotus salad is good & same as others Crispy spring rolls is over deep fried but inside filling tastes really good Stir fried seafoods soft noodle, not only smell good, very tasty too Chicken Rice- below average, not recommended it“

“We pre-ordered a mix of Banh Mi Sandwiches and Spring Rolls for 35 people and followed their advice to have the jalapenos on the side. The food was delicious and promptly available for pick-up. They even called us that morning to confirm whether or not we wanted the rolls on a tray. The cost was much lower than any competitor and our guests said that the taste was better, too. This business should be everyone's go-to spot and it is a perfect choice for upcoming pool-side meals.“

“Excellent and friendly customer service with delicous fresh pho. I stumbled upon this little place randomly as I like to explore little side streets. Their location is near the Wheaton Metro. A very cold day arrived and I didn't want to cook so enter Pho cravings. They did not disappoint and were extremely willing to accomodate me as I literally came in about 5 minutes before closing. Brought the pho home and it was delicious. I followed the recommendations of other reviews and ordered: Saigonese Golden Crepe - Banh Xeo Hue Spicy Lemon Grass Beef Soup - Bun Bo Hue Fried Imperial Rolls Pho Tái*, Gầu . slices of eye-of-round steak and fat brisket Everything was delicious (especially the crepe...though it is big). Will definitely be back to try the Bahn Mi and other non-Pho items.“

“Their nem nuong is a solid choice for lunch or dinner; whenever I am at Eden, I always order some for my husband. Their nem nuong is made fresh to order, and takes roughly 15-20 minutes to be ready. It is served with a special orange sauce, that is different from your typical peanut sauce or nuoc mam. It contains a grilled baked pork, lettuce, herbs, and a crunchy egg wrapper INSIDE the roll. The crunch egg wrapper is made different with each place that you go, but will always be the best ingredient in your nem nuong roll.“

“Why hasn’t anyone raved about their Bo la lot? This place smells like heaven when you walk by it. So much that is how I got drawn in. The beef is so juicy and tender. And the sauce that comes with it is delicious, it has hints of ginger and garlic. Definitely a must try. I grab a tray to go every time I am in Eden Center.“

“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.“

“Food was excellent and came out super fast. Pho had LOTS of meat - the large bowl had enough meat to be practically a meal for two. Iced espresso was served with the ice separately so it didn’t get watered down before you drank it, came out with sugar on the side so you could make it how you liked. Definitely not fancy in terms of ambience but everything was clean and the toppings were fresh & not wilted or mushy. For the amount of meat you get the price is very reasonable. (No pictures because I was starving and the food did not last long enough for a glamour shot)“

“The chicken is great and the owner is super nice with his services ! Hainan Chicken rice should be your must try and under $10 is an unbeatable! It’s halal chicken too!!!! Came with their homemade chicken broth when you dine in. Their fire grilled chicken legs are my favorites! Ordered the Vietnamese style chilli chicken noodle soup today and was so surprised about it! The soup is sooooo delicious and portion is as always amazingly great! You should not miss this place!“

“We come here once a week sometimes twice. Pho, spring rolls, com tam suong trung are our personal favorites. Very consistent in the portions and friendly environment. Everything is pretty simple and I often see people come here to eat alone (which says a lot about this place.) Truly a place for you to just enjoy a bowl of coziness without feeling weird. Parking is plentiful so no need to feel anxious as well! 5/5 stars!!!!“

“This is a low-key place to get a delicious meal with a ton of free parking. Because it’s in the Eden Center, just know that parking can still be hard to find. By low-key, you should know it started as a bubble tea place with food on the side but the food is so good there’s almost an even split. The atmosphere is very casual, with a cafe feel to the seating. Service, even though this place is busy, still very good. Because my son raved about the grilled chicken lemongrass pho, that’s what we all ordered, accompanied by crispy egg rolls. Everything was delicious, and in perfect sizes for us.“

“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.“
