Came here for a afternoon lunch with a friend, and with this being a new location, we were looking forward to this new Pho spot. The Food: Went with the "Pho Tai" and the broth was pretty good. Rich and flavorful, meat quality was good as well. All in all, a good bowl of Pho, nothing amazing but good. The Service: Service was great! Greeted upon walking in and food was prepared within a timely manner. Overall, a 4/5. Pretty good Pho spot, food was good and service was good as well. read more

We came for dinner on a Saturday and the restaurant was mostly empty. We were there to try the bún đậu mắm tôm platter, but it was crossed out on the menu along with a bunch of other items. We asked the waitress and she said they are no longer serving bún đậu mắm tôm. We were so disappointed, but we stayed to try other dishes. We ordered the fried fish sauce chicken wings as an appetizer. The wings were decent size, crunchy on the outside, and juicy in the inside. The sauce also had just the right amount of sweet and savory! The rice vermicelli with grilled beef short ribs was well-marinaded and smoky, but could be more tender. The fish sauce that came with the dish was bland as well.The spicy beef noodle soup was too sweet and not at all spicy; not the authentic bún bò Huế that I know. Ambiance was casual and the service was the minimal. Overall, we wouldn't come back here. read more

Been looking a place that has authentic bun dau with the intestines and I stumbled across a picture that someone posted from here. Ordered the small tray which I made three meals out of! It was like $30 but worth it. I did carryout and was ready when I got there. Super quick and easy! They took over the pho place that was there but still had pho and other variety of Vietnamese dishes. I would definitely go back and eat inside next time read more

This is one of the newest restaurant in the Chantilly area that have Nem nuong platter so it's a must try for me. 54 Kitchen grill replaces "Pho Bac" , in the same plaza as hong kong taste, CVS.... First look when I walked in is the ambiance and aesthetic of this place was very nicely decorated and brightlit and have plenty of room for a big family and big party. We were greeted right away when we walked in. Pros: Service was exceptional, we were greeted fast and served quickly. Our food came out within 10 minutes. -Chicken wings and fish sauce: Great appetizer and very flavorful. Perfect for a group of 3-4 people. -Nem nuong platter: It was okay, Not comparable to Nha Trang Restaurant in Eden (still my favorite place) , the herbs provided was lettuce, cucumber and one type of herb (tia to). This item was raved by many members of the foodie in the area so i am a bit dissappointed. Item was not on menu since they just have a soft opening menu now so you jusytgotta ask when you want to order it. The presentation was lovely though! - Vermicelli rice and egg roll and frill pork was flavorful. It does not stand out but it's not bad either. Overall, it's not bad to stop by and try it out and great for days that you don't want to cook, just doesn't stand out or in my opinion! read more

The presentation of the food was beautiful! I wasn't too impressed with the snails and the oysters. I think it would've been better to put cheese on top of scallops instead of oysters because the oysters were a bit watery. Therefore, the flavors got washed away and it tasted a bit strange. The fish sauce was good for the rice dish but could've been saltier for the snails/oysters (the fish sauce was on the sweeter end). I enjoyed the rice dish though! Meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Bun dau sauce was good. Good and attentive service. The waiter kept coming to check on us and always ensured we were comfortable with our experience. Their Vietnamese coffee was good also. Spacious inside. There is a bar. read more

They've adjusted on how they make some of their dishes to be more appetizing. I would recommend their beef spicy noodle soup/bun bo hue. They have multiple locations this one is not that busy anymore since this location is the smallest one under 54 brand. They do have a full bar and 2 bathrooms one for Men one for Women. I do not recommend the beef stew there (mi bo kho) read more

DoorDash'd here. I know it's a relatively new location which usually means the best chefs should be working to impress and the highest quality should be served. This place did NOT transport me back to DUHHH VIETNAM . In fact, it oddly transported me back to.....China? We ordered 3 grilled pork vermicelli plates and 3 iced coffee. The iced coffee wasn't bad at all, and a great size. The coffee was probably the saving grace from a 2 star. The grilled vermicelli barely had any pork. But the pork I did taste was very dry, kinda stringy, minimal Smokey flavor, and tasted like Chinese pork jerky no lie. It has a very strong herbally note, not the bbq smoke with lemon grass you would typically expect. The rest of the meal comes with the pickled daikon carrot that was not very pickled, raw bean sprouts, and cucumber slices. Without the star "pork-jerky", the meal was very simple, without a splash of authenticity at all. There's no cilantro, no lemon grass notes, no lime notes. The prices were on the higher end ($6 coffee, $17 pork platter). For the quality they're dishing out? Not worth it at all. Overall, I'd rate this a 2.7/5. The coffee made me reconsider the 2 stars. They gotta do better. Will not be back unfortunately. read more

Been here multiple times to try out their food. I would say that today is somewhat disappointed. We used to love their pho but today it's kinda blended. The fish was spicy and tangy. Shrimp was either undercooked or not fresh (some of them were mushy). I have also ordered steamed oysters (ginger soy sauce), lettuce wrapped meat, vinegar beef hotpot, bun bo hue before. I think I like the lettuce wrap dish the most. The stirred fried beef dish wasn't bad too. I used to like their pho the second most but it seems like they changed their menu options. Servers were friendly and attentive. The place was pretty clean as well. I will come back again to try their food. Maybe this is just a one time thing. read more

New spot opened across the street from the crib. Took over a previous pho spot. Pho is so much better!! And they have serve more than just pho! I used to go to Centreville for my go to spot. But this might replace them, sorry pho ***** read more

Was excited to try this new establishment but unfortunately left really underwhelmed. Service was extremely scattered - with entrees coming out at delayed intervals and completely forgetting entrees until reminded. Grilled pork entree was cold and most entrees were not worth the price. Ambiance was nice and appreciate a family run business but service needs a lot of improvement. read more

I went there Sunday for a carry out of 4 dishes. 2 soup, which was terrible. What they described on the meal does not match what they provided. Bun bo hue only had 2 types of meat beef and viet ham. For the price I play for, it should have the blood and pig knuckles, but that costs $1 for real. I ordered a pork chop with rice. What I got was pork that was dry, and it was not pork chops. They even forgot the fish sauce. I ordered the snails, which was terrible too. This will be the only time I will ever eat there again. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I feel the need to support them since they're the only Vietnamese restaurant in the Chantilly area serving authentic delicious Vietnamese food that is NOT pho. Yes, they're relatively new and still working on some kinks and definitely has some issues with management. If they could find better engaging helpers, service and more stability I could see them doing really well in the area since they're the only ones. I do really hope and wish that they stick around so I don't have to travel all the way to Eden. As for the location, yes it's a bit big and intimidating and feels a bit lack luster but for me I feel the food makes up for it. Please do give it a chance - hopefully they'll be able to work out the kinks sooner rather than later. Best of luck to the owners/staff. read more

It was just okay - we went during their soft opening. We got the Com Dac Biet, the pork chop and egg custard were yummy, but the shredded pork didn't taste right, something about it tasted funky. The nuoc mam was pretty good though. The Bun Dau Mam Tom is definitely an acquired taste, it had very nice plating, but my family wasn't impressed it. FYI, this dish wasn't on the physical menu, it's written on the chalkboard near the entrance along with other specials. The Pho Dac Biet was average, nothing special. They are on the newer side so I think they are still working on expanding their menu. read more

This newly acquired and renovated place is definitely more than the 3.7 star rating. The food offerings are amazing! Puck anything from the vermicelli plate, crabs, and the chef's soft opening menu is TDF! read more

Was charged for an erroneous extra dish that we did not order. Waiter brought it out then took it away but it showed up on my bill. Sneaky. My bad that I did not check the invoice before paying but will not be back. Food was ok but price is on the high side. read more

So excited to have an authentic Vietnamese in the area! We got their Bun Bo Hue, Shaky Beef and our kids shared a bowl of Pho and all was delicious! Love that they also have exotic escargot and chicken feet I'll definitely come back to try. Flavors were all good. Forgot to take photos of our other dishes since we were so hungry. Portions could be a little bigger and we'd be goldennnn and service was very attentive and great! read more

Delish! My husband ordered the Pho Dac Biet, and I ordered Mi Quang. Pho broth was flavored well and comparable to Pho Duong. Food came out quickly. Prices are a little higher than what you would expect for Vietnamese restaurants, but I don't mind paying if it saves me a trip to Eden center! The restaurant is still in their soft opening and providing a limited menu and restaurant specials. I will definitely be back to try some of their seafood specials. Great place to order "do nhau" (foods that go well with a cold beer). read more

This restaurant was Pho Bac and now operates under new ownership and management with this new name. When I ordered the food (Shaken Beef), it does not include a bowl of rice like many other restaurants that I have visited. They charge extra for the rice, thus making the total meal cost is much higher. Please be aware and read the menu carefully before making selection and ask what is included in the item you are ordering, otherwise you will be charged extra for the thing that you assumed it comes with the entree. The price listed on the menu should disclose all information and should not be so misleading. read more
