    Why keep the store open when half the menu items aren't available? No halo halo, tandoori chicken, duck, lychee jelly, buns, noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, you name it. I had to list out 10+ different items just to find something off the menu that they were still serving. I've never had to wait over half an hour just for a banh mi and fruit tea. There was only one couple waiting for their to-go order who came in 10 minutes after I ordered yet they got their food/drink before I did. It took forever just to get the sandwich to come out and they didn't even toast the bun which I don't get what caused the hold up on that when it takes only a few minutes to slap toppings on. It took 20 minutes just for the fruit tea to come out which only takes a few minutes to make. The worker apologized about the wait and made an excuse that there were so many orders while we were the only customers ordering when the restaurant was dead. The tables and everything else inside are also really dirty. The fruit tea tastes like sugar water, the dessert was just a bunch of artificial canned jelly and milk, and the sandwich definitely used bad meat that was sitting out. There was not a single item that was good and definitely not worth the wait. The sandwich also gave my dad food poisoning.

    This was actually my 2nd visit to 5t Ice. The very first visit, the door was sticky and it looked dark inside, so we thought they were closed even though there were employees in there and were about to leave. Second time was a charm for sure!..which left me feeling overwhelmed and excited about the choices. This review is mostly about my recent visit. I'll briefly describe my first visit in 2019, which was a little disappointing. I didn't know what to order and randomly picked something with stale brownies/cookies and chocolate ice cream. We also got some soft serve, which they no longer have. The snack were also a little stale as well, so I won't even get into that. 6/26/24 visit: I literally walked in there and asked if they had cheese foam and she said YES (but that it is new and not on the menu yet)! I wasn't expecting her to say yes AND they have other drinks I've been wanting to try (in general) AND they have ube foam. I can't even....she was laughing at how speechless and confused I was with all the options. Ultimately, I asked her if I can have the iced Vietnamese coffee with cheese foam, basically created my own drink (typical me....). The drink was absolutely amazing, with a very strong coffee flavor, the way I love it. They do carry different snacks (Japanese cheesecake, ube cake, pre-packaged croissant, etc.), but I'm definitely more interested in the drinks. I love that they are keeping up with the trends, so I definitely will return for a 4th and 5th (etc.) visit to try the coconut matcha foam and the ube foam. The location itself is kind of in the corner of the structure. It looks a little bit like a "hole in the wall" type place, but this time, I wasn't fulled, I made sure to order the right thing. Also, it helped that the employee was super nice and helpful...I do wish I got her name, but I was just too busy being overwhelmed and excited.

    If you are craving for Filipino tasting TAHO, this is the best place you can go to! It tastes soooo similar to our favorite breakfast/dessert! No ginger taste, same great texture! You can buy it small or large container. It may be far from our home, but worth driving! They even have the other fares like filipino ice creams, buko pandan, kinda binatog delicacy, halo halo, mais con yelo, etc! Check them out & their other vietnamese food/snacks!

    Always my favorite go to place. They have a lot of great vietnamese fast food here. Love their avocado smash. The store is small so there is not a lot of seating place but one table. They have quite a selection of different vietnamese food every weekend.

    Halo halo

    Thanks to the PBS kids app my three year old really needed to try halo halo. This was the closet place I could find and I'm glad we made the trip. Very interesting dessert and I definitely finished it off, but lack a comparison to judge if it's representative of what a Filipino restaurant would serve (my friend recommended a spot in Woodbridge which I'll have to try). Expect a small business vibe that is optimized more for a grab and go than dine in experience (don't judge a book by its cover here). They were bustling with people grabbing drinks, food, and desserts. Preschooler was happy, I was happy, what more do you need?

    I came here for fun to try some drinks. I saw they got many good tasting drinks, such as ube and mango. Surprisingly, they have milkshakes too. However, my milkshake was not satisfying. It tasted more like just Oreos and milk rather than good ice cream. I wouldn't recommend getting this item. My friend got an ube smoothie and she said it was delicious! They used magnolia ice cream, so you know it's gonna be good! I'd come back here to try other drinks if it was closer to me. This isn't a dine in place and the restroom apparently doesn't work. The inside is a little messy with all the supplies they have. If you don't care about the interior, then this is a must try place for drinks.

    First time coming here since they moved from Chantilly and changed their name. I stopped really sick after eating a Banh bao that they had refrigerated and reheated. I'm sure the baos came from 3rd party supplier...but they sit out all day then whatever is left, they refrigerate and sell. I don't fault them but I've learned to only buy them same day, never if it's refrigerated. Their Banh mi sandwiches are made to order so I never had issues and really enjoyed them. I ordered a house Banh mi and halo halo....asked for extra pate. The kid said ok. He made the halo halo, I didn't see the traditional flan on top so I asked him. He said he don't put it on unless it's requested??? Ok I then requested it. He looks around and doesn't find any and the lady in the back said something to him in Vietnamese and he tells me they are out. I took it as is...it was still good...just a little disappointed that you have to request it since traditional halo halo has it on top. Banh mi literally had one thin slice of ham, one slice of cha lua, and some pate. I didn't even see the roasted red pork or the mayo....and remember I asked for extra pate. That definitely didn't happen. I heard the kid tell her house banh mi and nothing else. So once again, they have failed me. I will not go back.

    Delicious Banh Mi and bubble tea. A much needed Banh Mi restaurant in the Aldie area, and it's really good.

    4/5 My husband and I…read moredecided to stop by this cute gelato shop in Middletown around 1:30 PM on a Sunday. They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!

    Yummy gelato! We were in town and the kids wanted ice cream. I ordered a medium cup with hazelnut,…read moreespresso and chocolate flavor! Delicious!! The hazelnut was my favorite. My husband got a pint of hazelnut and Creme Brûlée and the kids got a cup of Unicorn flavor since it's color blue. It was really good! Ambience was nice and service was good. If we were going straight home, I would've ordered more pints!
