    Thai Tea
    Hannah C.

    Food service was alright overall. Not very attentive unless we called over for the server. We were also the only customers seated at this time we visited. However, the workers were kind. Food tasted good. The Garden Roll was just shrimp, pork, noodles, and lettuce 7/10. The Pho Old Town was a 8/10 unless we found a fly in the bowl...lost my appetite after that. Thai tea was a 8/10. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and could taste the tea. As it is in Old Town Fairfax, the store did have an older vibe to it. The inside had your older asian glossed wooden tables. Also had nice artwork along the walls of the restaurant.

    I loved how quiet and peaceful this restaurant felt, the service was great. The rice tasted a lot better once I put the soy sauce on it and I felt like it was so much rice I ended up taking some home which is always a plus for me! I would definitely try something different if I came back around here! They also offer an array of flavors for boba which I definitely want to check out next time! Parking is available in a number of different places around the restaurant along with dessert stores and other food options.

    48. Crispy Squid
    Rebecca A.

    EastWind was a solid B- experience. The service was good and the tables were clean however the food was far from authentic. Food is all lacking critical elements such as herbs in the the summer rolls and the right makeup of spice in the squid. The shaky beef was so tough I could hardly eat it. The fried rice was dry and flavorless. While passable, the value and quality just are not where it should be. With all the other choices in the area, will be not be returning.

    30. East Wind Noodles Saute
    Annie C.

    Service was quick, and the restaurant is pretty hidden and quiet. I got the crispy noodle stir fried, which had a really nice variety of vegetables and yummy sauce. My friends also liked their pho and clay pot rice. The restaurant is also sorta dark and nicer than expected.

    No, not the owner of this place but I tend to go here a lot because the food is very good and consistent. Ordered what I typically order but was tempted to go with the clay pot. Next time! Try this place, it's not very busy most times and service is very good too.

    32. Combo Vermicelli
    Joyce W.

    East Wind in Fairfax is fantastic for authentic Vietnamese food! Came here on a Friday night without a wait. They start you off with complimentary tasty shrimp-flavored chips. We ordered the combo vermicelli and the Vietnamese crepe with chicken (you can also choose tofu). Both were full of flavor! The vermicelli combo is great - you get to try a bit of everything, like spring rolls and your choice of grilled beef/chicken/pork. I have been looking for Vietnamese crepes, which I don't find in many Vietnamese restaurants in this area. They load it up with bean sprouts for that nice crunch. The fish sauce dressing they use makes everything taste amazing. They have a large menu and I'll definitely come back to check out their other chef's speal entrees!

    22. Pho Old Town
    Michelle M.

    I went to East Wind for lunch with my co-workers recently. Most of us ordered Lunch Special with shrimp rolls/fried rolls. I also ordered Vietnamese Coffee for my drink. While waiting, we were served complimentary Shrimp Chips which was amazing! Everything we had was delicious - the lunch special pho was definitely smaller than a regular bowl but that was okay for me. The service was a little slow during our visit because it looks like they have one person taking care of everyone's orders - but I hope this was an isolated case.

    Spring rolls and pork vermicelli bowl
    Grace W.

    Cheap lunch combo and the price is right. However spring rolls were small and pork bowl was ok. Not much flavor or anything special. Was disappointed after all the good reviews. My two other friends had beef pho and it was just ok as well- the broth wasn't that rich or flavorful.

    Chicken Pho
    Jon S.

    Very consistent with food quality, quick service, friendly staff. Crispy eggrolls are very good here. The broth in their soup is pretty good and they typically provide you with a complementary appetizer. Very good lunch specials for around $13. Must try!

    25. Chicken White Meat Pho Vegetable pho
    Ara S.

    Food here was very good. They bring shrimp chips to every table which I thought was nice. My husband & I both ordered spring rolls with shrimp. The peanut sauce wasn't as "peanut-y" as I liked, but it was still good. Our friends got the vegetarian spring rolls which they liked. My husband & I ordered pho with chicken which was delicious! Our friends both ordered vegetarian pho, however they only had chicken broth and beef broth, so if you are vegan or vegetarian, this may be a problem! Service was nice. The place is pretty big, there was a decent amount of people there but it was pretty quiet.

    East Wind is every nice word you can think of. Even as a regular for over five years, I am still crazy phở this place! My sorority sisters, friends, and I eat here frequently and never tire of it! I love visiting for their lunch combos (11-3PM) as you can receive one main item (1-8) + spring rolls or garden rolls + one soft drink for $11.95--a pretty solid deal! As for: ‣ QUALITY - All ingredients are high quality and fresh; dishes are prepared with meticulous attention to detail, balanced flavor profiles, and expertise! ‣ SERVICE - Truly the best service a guest could hope for! Fast, friendly, genuine, and attentive, they aim to ensure your dining experience goes smoothly. My glass of water is never empty. In addition, I absolutely adore their complimentary shrimp crackers and sweet flan dessert! ‣ AMBIENCE - The restaurant is clean, spacious, and filled with charming décor and soothing vibes. The atmosphere is very casual and comfortable--perfect for bringing family, friends, co-workers, and dates. Overall, a great place for phở, especially if you are a Mason student! East Wind will always have a special place in my heart (and stomach)!

    Pho Old Town (Phở Đặc Biệt)
    Anh H.

    Arriving here on a weekday at about 7pm, there seemed to be ample seating. We were seated immediately and there only looked to be a couple of families and an odd table or two otherwise. There were also quite a number of pick up orders as well throughout the course of our meal, however our order still came out fairly quickly. I had a Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk (Cà Phê Sữa Đá) to start for $4.50. It's a good pick me up if you need a bit of a caffeine boost. For my entree, I had the large Pho Old Town (Phở Đặc Biệt) which came with your standard fare of eye round, brisket, and meatballs for $12.95. It also came with a side dish of spearmint, mung bean sprouts, jalapeño slices, lime, sriracha, and hoisin sauce to add to taste. Overall, the service is good here, the food was fair for the price, and the ambiance was a bit dim. I'm glad I got to check it out and would come again next time I'm craving Viet food on Main St/Old Town Fairfax.

    Clay Pot Rice With Clams and Pork
    Justine T.

    I really enjoyed my meal here! The clay pot with clams and pork was amazing. It was so flavorful and there was a good amount of meat. I just wish the rice was a bit crispier at the bottom. The service was fine and atmosphere was okay. I just don't see myself coming back here. Nothing really blew me away, but I would recommend if you live close or are in the area already.

The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping. Soup dumplings were fantastic, however. The pork definitely has its own marinade and the soup is flavorful. The dumpling skin is well constructed and complemented well with the noodle soups - especially in cold weather. tldr; solid noodle soup spot, they seem to be consistent and really hits the mark when you're in a for your noodle fix. Soup dumplings are probably a must get side dish with whatever your main is

The place itself is quite small for dine in, but I'm pretty sure that's not their target so we were able to get a seat for 2 pretty easily on a Friday evening. We got mostly "ABC" comfort foods - orange chicken, Yangzhou fried rice, Singapore rice noodles - and an order of their dumplings in spicy sauce (a bit surprising as it's a more northern China style compared to the rest of menu). It was definitely a bit much for just 2 of us but we intended to take home leftovers. All of it was delicious, cooked to spec, but what really makes them stand out is their superior "wok-hei"; it is the soul of wok-style dishes and compliments to the chef(s) - they absolutely know their craft and it shines in the flavor. This craftsmanship is lost in the new generation and it's a real treat to see it preserved here out of all places. Dumplings were splendid. Juicy and handmade, definitely hits that nostalgic nook from the back of your head. tldr; charming Chinese takeout spot with superb wok-hei in their dishes

The meat quality here is extremely PREMIUM and every bite was super juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! I cannot stop thinking about the Baekdusan bulgogi because it was truly a savory MEAT MOUNTAIN. Our kind server gave us a pro tip to mix the sauce with rice. That completely changed the dish for me! The sauce soaking into the rice made it unbelievably rich and satisfying. I loved that the combos come with steamed egg and soybean paste stew, which were comforting sides alongside all the grilled meat and ban chan (kimchi, radish, etc) already at the table.
