Highly recommended to come here…read more After work I like to sit back and have my own personal time.

When the skies opened up and the rain started pouring, we didn't just crave pho--we summoned it. My…read morehusband, daughter, and I arrived at Pho Royale like a trio of determined flavor archaeologists, ready to excavate some serious broth magic. Our order: * Pho Nam * Pho Nam + Bo Vien * Bún Bò Huế (aka the twist ending no one saw coming) Let's talk pho first: the broth was aromatic with a hint of sweetness--like someone simmered comfort, umami, and a little nostalgia in one pot. The nam was a revelation--tender, silky, and just fatty enough to make cardiologists nervous in the best way. The meatballs? Bouncy, beefy, and living their best life. But then... the Bún Bò Huế. Oh no. We had such high hopes. Instead, it tasted like someone whispered "lemongrass" over hot water and called it a day. No heat, no depth, no soul. Somewhere a Vietnamese auntie just clutched her pearls. That said--best pho in Sterling, hands down. The space is bright and looks newly zhuzhed up. Service is friendly. Vibes are cozy. It's a solid noodle sanctuary. Pro tip: Stick to the pho, dodge the BBH, and bring your rainy-day appetite. Pho Royale knows what it's doing--as long as you stay in the pho lane.

A solid bowl of pho, not extraordinary but will come back overall. Broth is mildly flavored. I…read moreordered #17 the everything pho. Meatball is mid, beef is decent. Ordered a small for myself and I was stuffed in a good way. Also ordered both crispy/fried egg rolls and shrimp summer rolls. Egg rolls are decent but taro/slush heavy. Summer rolls are stuffed with noodles and 3 shrimps with a few lettuces - I thought I'd expect carrots or cucumber but I suppose this store does it differently. PB sauce and fish sauce are great and no complaints. Service is as good as you can expected in a small local Asian restaurant. Overall kind waiters and nothing to complain. Similarly, ambience is good for a casual Sunday morning pho run in your elevated PJ outfit and no one will care. Overall a neighborhood gem - good for fast casual run or a lazy meal.

Food, for me, has always been an adventure. ~Anthony Bourdain *…read more. We celebrated Our Food Visas' couple valentines a few days late...to avoid the crowds. Our plan was simple, in the morning we saw a epic historical movie, Tanaji then we went out for lunch at the Taste of Vietnam. * . Menu: Chicken Curry, Rice and Chicken Steamed Dumplings. * . Taste: Delicious & tender chicken dish, well prepared, with a tasty sauce perfected with extra spice seasons. * . Atmosphere: As you enter, to the left of the door is a small shrine with offering to Budda. The restaurant itself, was cozy, quiet and intimate setting which was great for a warm, friendly date, filled with laughter and chatting* . Service: Professional, friendly and very quick. There were only a few patrons in the restaurant at the time of our visit, so we did have their undivided attention. Great food establishment, so I'd recommend it, when you are on that side of town. .

I was promptly greeted as I looked over the menu for take out. The Pho I saw go by looked good and those eating eat appeared happy. I ordered a beef, and a pork Bahn mi sandwich and curry chicken. It took 15-20 minutes for the order. The Curry - It's a little salty, once you get past that the other spices come out and it finishes with a nice heat in the throat, aromatics are subtle and warm. It comes with a side of rice which was fluffy and a little sticky, perfect. The sandwiches had very good flavor, I preferred the slight sweetness of the pork over the beef. Maybe a little cilantro.

The pho was mostly hot beef flavored water which was pretty greasy. The fatty brisket in my pho was the best part of the whole experience. Unfortunately the other factors weighed it down.

Stopped in with my son to get our pho fix on a Sunday afternoon…read more The restaurant is large so plenty of seating. Their menu offers a lot of Vietnamese options. The service is very quick. My son ordered summer rolls and com tam (broken rice) with pork chop and I got the pho special. I've honestly had better quality pho elsewhere. The flavor was lacking immensely but the portion was good. The com tam was alright and so were the summer rolls. Overall everything could've been more flavorful, I wouldn't visit again.

There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in NoVA that is a crime to be so far below average!!…read moreI have no idea how they have sustained their high ratings. It is extra disappointing to go there seeing all their awards and ratings to be met with very poor service, unwarranted delayed steps between apps, mains, dessert, check! The broth of the pho had some kind of rancid /old food taste like you get when the wok/pot has not been washed properly after multiple uses. The fried rice and pad Thai lacked flavor and had an odd taste. The apps were alright. The banh mi was passable but got us feeling bloated within couple bites. Cost of everything was quite low, so may that is a plus for some. Further, when I tried sharing the feedback respectfully - after the waiter wondered why we had barely eaten and refused to go boxes- I was told to write this review online - which itself was weird. It's like the staff want to sabotage the customer experience or highlight the experience for the owner to take note. My best guess is the owner doesn't treat/pay his staff well and they are likely very checked out and doing the bare minimum or below it. The place was a mess also behind the counter, on the way to the restroom etc. with no deliberate storage of the overflow supplies. Sorry for the candor and the harshness- hoping the management takes a serious look and rethinks their work, or reconsider another line of business.

The bread was everything a traditional Vietnamese baguette should be - light and airy on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and pleasantly chewy. The matcha drinks were equally impressive. You can tell they use high-quality Japanese tea for a rich, smooth flavor. The staff were warm, attentive, and efficient. Our food arrived quickly, and the service made us feel very welcome. We also loved the restaurant's modern, clean, and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a family outing. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back!

Very interesting concept as this place seems to be more of a dessert shop, I am curious on how good the viet food is.. maybe one day! I ordered the valentine bingsu which consist of a bunch of fruit and vanilla ice cream. The bingsu was advertised with "milky ice flavor" which I did not taste the "milky" part. The shredded ice was a great consistency, though! Easy to scoop up, melts fast, & not ice-y which to me is crucial to a decent bingsu. The strawberries paired were great and very sweet, the peach felt like it was from a can, pineapple gave off canned vibes, except it was extremely bitter and basically gone bad. Mangoes were OK not very sweet and Vanilla ice cream was good but you can't go wrong with that if it's store-bought. Overall would give this a 5/10 maybe 4.5/10. You order on the kiosk or at the counter. I opted for the kiosk as the employees were busy, I did however asked at the counter to Change my order after once I realized they had the valentine bingsu since I was feeling more fruit desserts (originally ordered the strawberry & cream). They were accommodating which I appreciated! Service was nice for the most part - the guy that served me my order did not acknowledge me when I said thank you... or when we took him the dish after the food and said thanks again lol service can be spotty based on who you get I guess? Again Curious on the viet food here!

This place was awesome! So cute! Good snacks. Yummy boba. Excellent and quick service…read more Paid $15ish for two drinks with boba and an order of their pork egg rolls. Baybeeee, those egg rolls? Very good. And $25 for those three items was a bit of a steal, especially since the rolls were huge. They have a cute little toy/knickknack area, too. Ohhh, and there's a kids table with coloring supplies. It's small and intimate but very cute. Jasmine milk tea: delicious. Jasmine apparent and can be tasted but not overwhelming. Honestly, though, what I loved most was the service. I think the owner was the man working and he was so sweet. Him and the young woman working were so nice and even so patient with my little when she was paying for her items. I'd recommend and return!
