This might be the best Vietnamese place I have ever eaten. They even have kid's portions off the menu. They do charge extra for to-go containers.
Ronald BarbaOctober 3, 2013I don't live in Old Town, but I've certainly gone out of my way to get their banh mi. Seriously, some of the best in the DC-area (yes - even better than from the Falls Church / Seven Corners area).
The pho and imperial rolls are amazing. Get here when the open or expect a wait (but well worth the wait).
Mari C. LondoñoJuly 22, 2017I love the pho soup. The small size is just right for me and it looks like a medium one. The prices are great and worth it. The place is very clean. The personal staff is very kind. I recommend it.- Can't go wrong with any of the Pho varieties! The Shrimp lotus salad is the bomb too! They have a large beverage selection from bubble teas to iced Vietnamese coffees to ice cold brewskies. Love.
- Leemor YuravlivkerOctober 13, 2018Vegan bahn mi with the soy chickn is delicious. Top it off with the chili sauce 🌶
Jbo 🙆🏻♀️October 8, 2013The only Vietnamese restaurant worth going to (if not the only one in the area) in Old Town Alexandria. They have solid classic banh mi sandwiches that run out usually by dinner time!
Bianca Navarro BowmanJuly 3, 2017Pho, vermicelli, and rice plates are all great and well sized (you'll be stuffed or full). Amazing, I've been here 3 times now
Northern Virginia MagazineFebruary 5, 2013Vegetarian pho: "It's very difficult to find vegetarian pho... They bring the soup with a huge plate of toppings." --Michael Pope (NVM's January 2013 Eat This Now! issue)
Matt ShannonAugust 16, 2018The bun and pho were lackluster. I've had Vietnamese food all over the world, including Vietnam. This is not very authentic and what can be found in Falls Church is much better and more authentic.
Amanda DoveAugust 11, 2012Really cute and trendy place in Old Town! I'm pretty picky when it comes to pho, but the pho tai here is delicious. The broth is savory, but doesn't leave me with that bad MSG feeling.
Great pho! Great location! Terrible for groups of 4+... They will not reserve tables. Small group dine-in and take-out are great!
We lived adjacent to a Vietnamese neighborhood in Cali and became spoiled with good food. Couldn't find comparable quality until now. The pho is legit.
Mathew SnyderNovember 24, 2017I'm no pho connoisseur, but of the places I have been to, these folks by far make the best I've had.
Marie NguyenMarch 22, 2018I was really impressed with there Vegetarian pho and their Vietnamese ice coffee hit all the right spot.
Arrive before 12 if you want to get a table without a long wait! DELICIOUS pho and great summer rolls too!
Shawtie NyceNovember 3, 2015The pho is great. The imperial rolls... yum! And the egg platters are delicious too.
Ann BarreJanuary 20, 2015House pho and crispy rolls are sublime. Oh, and a 33 beer when they have them. It's the perfect meal
Will LaForestFebruary 2, 2014Best Vietnamese in DC area. Everything we have had is amazing. Perfect for Vegetarians
Credit cards are up and running now. Everything here is delicious, and there are vegetarian or vegan versions of everything, too!
Vegan sandwich is very good but may not be filling on its own. It doesn't come with rice...just the sandwich.
The sandwiches are delicious! Get them with fresh jalapeños and siratcha if you're daring.
Imperial Spring Roll was delicious. Crispy outer! Pho was up to par, broth was flavorful and meats were tender. Waiter sucked and messed up my order and couldn't even pronounce pho properly.
Their Veggie pho is the best I've tried. Small cute little place!
HatJanuary 5, 2014That's the longest I've waited for a sandwich, although talking to others, it's normally zippy. [shrug]
Good food but do NOT expect timely service at all!!!! Seems like they can only handle one table at a time. Seems like the owner doesn't even know how to work the cash register.
