Temima N.

Was craving Vietnamese food while in Rockville so we decided to go to this place and I'm glad we did! Normally we go to Eden center when we're craving good Vietnamese food but this is probably one of our new go to places. I got the veggie pho and crab spring rolls and both were delicious. The crab spring rolls were def unique and crispy seasoned well. As for the veggie pho I wasnt expecting much since lots of veggie phos tend to skimp on the tofu and the broth isn't paid much attention to but I was surprised they they had a decent amount of tofu and the veggie broth was well seasoned. It was also priced well for the area. I enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back!

It's a great place for a quick meal. I stopped here for a bowl of pho. The price was affordable, the portion was generous. I had a hearty meal of soup with beef and more. The service was good and efficient. The ambiance was casual.

Bun Thit Heo Nuong (with add-on Spring Roll)
Sandy L.

Tried this place with my family for lunch the other day and appreciated the number of unique menu items that are not commonly found on other local Vietnamese restaurants' menus, such as Banh Cuon (Vietnamese crepes), Bun Bo Hue (Spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup), and Thit Quay Gion Bi (Crispy pork belly), for example. The restaurant is located in a strip mall in the Twinbrook area, with a decent number of parking spaces available in a lot right out front. The interior has nicely spaced out tables in the middle of the dining room for medium-sized parties, and some half booths along the perimeter, so no need to worry about crowding or sitting too close to other tables. Service was friendly and our food took a little bit of time to come out - not as long as it would take if it were freshly made - but still took some time as the wrapper of the Spring Roll seemed to taste freshly deep fried (despite the filling being precooked), although I think most items were just reheated. As for the authenticity of the restaurant, I am on the fence about this, as the fish sauce barely tasted like anything. Usually, the tell-tale sign of an authentic Vietnamese restaurant for me is determined by the fish sauce - it should be a balance between sweet, salty, sour, spicy and umami. The fish sauce here was neither of those flavors despite the variety of authentic dishes they offer. Overall, this establishment is a good introduction to some traditional Vietnamese dishes, but enhancing the flavor profile of the fish sauce would definitely make the food taste more authentic. I will come back if I am in the area and craving a certain Vietnamese dish that I can't find elsewhere, but it's likely I won't become a regular here.

Banh cuon
Emi V.

The Banh Cuon dish I had was pretty good. It was different because it came with meatballs like the Bun Cha Ha Noi dish. I would get this dish again! It was a big portion so you can share with others as well. The Bun Bo Hue on the other hand wasn't good, and I wouldn't get it again. It tasted like normal pho broth with a scoop of sate for coloring. The restaurant is very big and spacious.

Came here for another try for lunch. As before food was ok, nothing to go crazy about. The shrimp papaya salad was good with flavor, chicken rice dish was ok.

Crispy Pork
Neville E.

Quick dinner first time there quick in and out. The service was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Being a big fan of iced coffee I had to get it and it was Amazing. I think that the ambiance is perfect for its size. It's not overwhelming. Overall the food was very good, fresh, the perfect temperature, and the portion was perfect. I will have to go back and try many of my favorites which are on the menu.

Bun bo hue
Jeff T.

While you should skip the pho here for pho75, the bun bo hue was surprisingly good. Flavorful broth, blood cube that had no odor (firmness on the medium instead of soft), and other various fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was casual. The service was inviting.

Green papaya salad with beef jerky

Highly recommended by Vietnamese friends but not sure we ordered their best dishes. Papaya salad was definitely a hit with the recommended beef jerky (as I type it, this doesn't sound very appealing but it truly was fresh and delicious.) Pho was serviceable as were the rolls and bun dishes. Service was friendly and helpful. This strip mall feels a little sketchy but once inside the restaurant has a nice homey feel. We'll try some other items on the menu next time.

Bahn cuon's texture is decent, nice and thin but I feel that the filling is not as nice as others I've had from Eden ctr, the vietnamese center. The crab spring roll is decent but I probably should just stick w regular spring roll. I like the grilled beef that comes w Bahn cuon. I don't like the broth, I feel like the anise flavor is too strong. Very fast service and overall it is decent food.

H7 Bahn Cuon
Fabian M.

Hello Vietnam in Rockville has this amazing dish Banh Cuon Thit Nuong - basically grilled meatballs and pork in sweet broth with rice crepes with ground pork filling. Definitely unique and one of the few places in the DMV that has it. Service was super friendly and fast. Place is bright and open and a little slow on a Monday night. Yes the prices are kinda steep for Viet food, but it's made up with their portions and the quality of meats. The pho had massive slices of beef. N the bun with grilled pork had so much that my wife needed help finishing with the meat.

Pho Bo Dac Biet
Rolonda D.

I went to Hello Vietnam for a quick lunch after a long day of traveling. I was immediately greeted upon walking in and shown to a table. We decided to order the P4 and our food came quickly. The broth of the pho was delicious and the aromatics used to flavor the broth really came through. The person I was with ordered a fruit smoothie and although it came out a little later than our food, it was tasty and was a great compliment to balance out the smokiness of the pho. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with ample parking and overall I would definitely return.

Special Crispy Spring Rolls with Crab Meat
Karen Y.

I have a few friends who really like this restaurant so decided go check it out. I ordered the spring rolls with crab meat which were a delight and the pho with brisket. It's a okay broth, but not the best broth I've had in the area so I likely won't be back for this. They do have other menu items that aren't normally found in the area like caramlised fish, banh cuon, banh mi bo ne which I may come back to try.

Jenny Mae S.

Reliably one of my favorite go-tos for Vietnamese food. I usually switch it up between a bowl of pho (one size only: LARGE ) and a bun nuong and am always satisfied with whichever one won that day. The flavors are wonderful and balanced and portions are perfect. The service is always prompt and pleasant. We've always been lucky to eat in on the evenings when they're not too busy so have enjoyed their relaxed environment. Will happy continue to frequent for years to come.

Do they offer any vegetarian dishes? I tied that place once and everything they had had seafood in it--(????????) (Allergic to seafood and shellfish!!)

Yes, they do! If you tried this place and everything had seafood in it, it wasn't this place! Tip: if it has the word 'chay' in it, it's vegetarian!… 

Do you use msg?

I recently experienced HEYTEA and absolutely loved it! There were so many options that I wasn't…read moresure what to try, but the friendly staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the diverse and intriguing selections. I decided to try the Coconut Mango Boom, and it was so good! The creamy coconut paired beautifully with the sweet, slightly tangy mango, giving it a refreshing tropical flavor. I also loved that the tea is freshly brewed, which really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating, including areas where you can sit and enjoy your drink with a friend. HEYTEA is located in Wintergreen Plaza, which has plenty of free parking, making it easy and convenient to visit. I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of their offerings!

This was my first time there and I asked the person at the counter about their drinks since they were different than at other boba tea places I've frequented. I told him I like milk based teas and asked about their jasmine tea. He couldn't really explain the different tea flavors. Also wasn't very helpful, especially when I saw the jasmine tea was not milk based (after I had purchased it). I adjusted the sugar to 75%, but it needed more sugar. I also ordered the mango coconut cream drink for my daughter. I do appreciate they use real fruit and that it looked pretty but I really don't see what the hype is about. I didn't like my jasmine tea and my daughter, nor I, liked the mango coconut tea. Definitely not a fan ... won't be back.

On the Fourth of July, my fiancé and I stopped by Daboba, a Malaysia-based bubble tea café located…read morein Talbott Center in Rockville, MD. Daboba offers an impressive variety of beverages, including Roasted Brown Sugar, Brown Sugar, Frappes, Shooting Star, Honey Golden Pearl, Pure Fresh Tea, Yogurt, Classic Milk Tea, Cheese Tea, and Fruit Tea. With so many options, there's something for just about every bubble tea lover! Fruity Party (0% Sugar, 50% Ice) - My fiancé ordered this refreshing drink, packed with assorted fresh fruits, including apples, mangoes, pineapples, and kiwis, along with coconut jelly and honey golden boba. It was naturally fruity, colorful, and delicious! Shooting Star (50% Sugar, 50% Ice) - I went with this beautiful and refreshing combination of butterfly pea, kumquat, and lemon tea with coconut jelly. The citrus flavors complemented the tea perfectly, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess. Both drinks were bursting with fruity flavors and were especially refreshing on a warm summer day. We also appreciated being able to customize the sugar and ice levels to our preferences. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience at Daboba! Between the extensive drink selection, fresh ingredients, and delicious flavor combinations, this was a fantastic spot to satisfy our bubble tea cravings. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Friend and I came here on a weekend afternoon, I got the grass jelly milk tea, no sugar, no ice…read more The tea wasn't very flavorful, the grass jelly was a bit stiff and not very smooth. My cup also wasn't filled all the way to the top, not sure why (is it because no ice?). For a drink that was almost $7 and very small, I don't know why they were stingy with that. My friend got the golden boba with roasted oolong milk tea. The flavor of the tea was amazing and the golden boba was perfectly chewy and had a bit of a honey flavor, really tasty. If I got his drink, I would've given this place 4 stars - maybe. The price / size of the drink combined with the cup not being filled wasn't very good.

The place is clean and smells great from the waffles I think. Not too many milk tea options but the boba and drinks are good so I'll let it slide.

I'm not upset tho and it's my first time here so I can't say that always happens. My friends and I are convinced they used ai for the mural tho lol

Overall: Cuppa Tea was a hit for me in both boba and egg waffle, definitely give both a try!…read more Food: The drinks here were great, a clear and clean tea taste in the boba. Definitely a preference so try one before you go all in. The food itself was kind of hit or miss, but when it hit it really hit. The butter burger and fish balls were alright in my opinion. Some nostalgia, but overall nothing too fancy. The egg waffles were really cool, I got a pudding filled one, and I'm definitely a big fan. They had a lot of other options too for the egg waffle, I will be back to try others. Service: The service was average for a small shop, seems like there is only 1 person working when I got there so they were doing everything from taking orders to making the food. Depending on time of day it might take longer for your order to be ready. Ambiance: The inside was decorated well and had some fun elements near the front door. Aside from decorations the interior was pretty normal, some seating inside for groups of 4.

Their drink menu has expanded too. There were so many choices. But, sad news, there is no more golden boba. Wahh! I loved their golden boba. : ( But, I do have to say their brown sugar boba is very good. Service was excellent. I was waited on right away and my drink was ready in a few minutes. The cafe keeps adding to their ambiance. New TV's, comfortable seating, and a foos ball table for those who want to play. It must be working, because the cafe is always crowded when I am there. You have to love a business that keeps improving and growing. Congratulations Ding Cafe on your newest menu items.

Rating may go up in future if I try other things; this rating is just for the yogurt "coco mango"…read moredrink I got yesterday, so I remember that I already tried it and it wasn't one I'd get again. I don't know if they don't have a strong enough blender or if it just wasn't blended long enough but my drink came out super icy. The balance was also off. A good yogurt drink is a religious experience, and though I could tell this used fresh ingredients, it just didn't come out 'right'. IYKYK. There used to be this place in College Park that had a GOAT mango yogurt drink but sadly they mowed down the whole plaza and I don't think the shop found another location. I'm in mourning. Ding Cafe has a lot of other stuff on the menu and apparently artisanal ice cream, which had I been hungrier I might have tried. Unfortunately, it shares a plaza with Mia Cane which has really really good Vietnamese Ice Coffee, so if I come back earlier in the day when caffeine isn't verbotten...it's going to be hard to convince myself to try Ding again since it's easier to find good boba tea around here than good Cafe Sua De (sp). I'll likely come back to try the ice cream and / or other caffeine free drink options though and hopefully I find one that works better for me.
