We had a good experience when we came here. Food came out quick (it wasn’t super busy at the time) and the portions were great. The small pho bowl is enough for a regular appetite while a large bowl would probably be a better size for two people to share (unless you typically have a big appetite). You can choose your ingredients for the pho and there are other non-pho options of food as well. You order by getting a sheet and taking it to your table, then once you check what you want a server will take it from you. Not a lot of seating and one unisex bathroom. Will go back!

I love this place so much. Everything is delicious and the owner (I think she is) is so kind. I got the bún bò Huế and chicken spring rolls (I ate one before the picture, it comes with two). I would come back just for the food, and I would come back just to support a friendly small business, so the fact that this place combines them is great. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your family’s friends.

Best bún riêu. We just pass by and craving for some Vietnamese soup . Service is great. Small place but feel very welcoming . Spring rolls and egg rolls are good too. Pho is above average, authentic taste but not the best pho. We are happy to find this little Vietnamese restaurant good taste in this little Virginia town.

My coworker told me about this place and I visited for the first time a couple months ago (just now getting around to writing a review). Ordered the strawberry and taro milk tea. Both were delicious and were the consistency of Frappuccinos, which was unexpected since all the boba tea I’ve ever had was liquid. It doesn’t come with the boba already, so make sure you add that. It’s an extra .75. The pho itself was good. It was a big portion size for it not to have been the large bowl. The owner ended up making my daughter an extra bowl of the chicken pho to go on the house because she said she had tasted it after she made it and felt it could’ve been better. We thought it was fine, but we appreciated this gesture. Both the owner and her staff person were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning!

One star only because the bean sprouts, basil, and lime were fresh. (They don’t give a decent amount of sprouts.) and the staff was nice. Everyone in my family built their own pho bowl. The broth had no flavor at all. Cheap on the shrimp that tasted like dirt. Pictures of the shrimp will be included. I ate one and couldn’t stomach another bite of them. What’s pictured is what they call “extra”. They’re already charging $2 extra for shrimp when you build your own pho, and an additional $2 for extra shrimp. They cut the shrimp in half length wise making it look like more shrimp. There were 8 shrimp (16 halves) that are the size of small cocktail shrimp. They are the diameter of a quarter(and that’s an overstatement). All of us had beef broth. It was weak, watered down, and seemingly from concentrate. It’s not Pho Vietnam or Vina Cafe (which we liked best before they closed – we would go once a week). We have Pho Vietnam regularly now. Not coming back here. The owner asked us how we were liking it and couldn’t take our disappointment. He stepped away from our table to cash someone out saying he would be right back. He didn’t come back. He cashed that customer out, went to the back of the store for a few minutes, then walked out of the store, and didn’t come back. If he would’ve come back and attempted to rectify we wouldn’t have left this review. Also, the people who left five stars don’t know authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this place is a joke. My mom got a Thai tea with boba. It came out with no boba. It was remade with boba but my mother did not like it all. It was too strong and didn’t have enough cream to be considered Thai tea.

Don’t let the location or lack of fancy decor fool you. The food is excellent. I had the pho with chicken. The broth was amazing, the vegetables were fresh. The spring rolls were good too. Service was good. We had to drive an hour to this restaurant and it was well worth it. My husband had the Bahn mi sandwich and he enjoyed that too! We will be back!

Best Vietnamese spring rolls and Bun Riêu. They serve authentic Vietnamese food here. They even have spicy sriracha when Sriracha is on shortage supply. Thank you for serving in good quality paper bowl but not Plastic bowl. This is small family own restaurant , each supply they use here have been choose very carefully.

I have been searching for some good international food since I moved here and I found it. This whole little corner has a couple different areas of the world that I can’t wait to try out.

Been looking for a good place to get some noodles ever since my last favorite retired. Its pho time was really good. I got the fried egg rolls to start with, which I highly recommend. Then I built my own pho using beef broth and chicken. It came with 2 different flavored pastes, both delicious and really made the pho pop. All of toppings appeared to be fresh which was great(no one wants floppy bean sprouts).
