Upon entering we were welcomed by light chatter in Vietnamese and the faint sweet smell of nuoc mam cham. To further fulfill that nostalgic feeling of my weekends having lunch at Eden Center with my parents as a teen, I ordered an avocado smoothie to sip while looking over the menu. I have never been to Hanoi so there were some dishes I hadn't tried before but if a Vietnamese restaurant tells you what their house specials are, you should listen to them. I only ordered three of their house special dishes because I only had one other person to share these large portions with but I definitely wanted to try more. All three dishes were hits! The bun bo hue had a deep shrimp paste flavor, which is exactly what I was craving. Some people complained that it lacked lemongrass, I agree, but it's in there and not a big deal for me. There was plenty of meat in the bowl, the meatballs were bouncy and meaty (maybe even made in house), the pork blood was great quality and not chalky at all. Red cabbage is served on the side with thai basil, lime, and jalapeños; great alternative for banana blossom. The bun cha Hanoi was our favorite. It comes with a heaping serving of house made meatballs and pork belly. The fish sauce it comes in was a little blander than I like but I asked for a little extra raw fish sauce and chilis to spruce it up. It's all served with a mound of vermicelli and fresh veggies/herbs. This was my husband's first time trying this dish and he was obsessed! We also added a nem cua be (crab egg roll) add on so we could try one. Glad we only got the one because it was huge and packed with meat! It was delicious but would have been very filling as an appetizer. I also ordered the banh cuon cha lua which I took one bite of and had to pack home because I was too full to eat it there. This is one of my favorite dishes so I had to try it too! The rice paper crepes were great! Filling was a little lighter but the portion made up for it. Again, I spruced up the fish sauce a bit at home. I really enjoyed dining here. It fills that craving for authentic Vietnamese food without having to go all the way to Silver Spring or Eden Center. I will try to be a little more adventurous next time we head over and try the bun dau mam tom. It looks amazing! read more

This restaurant is located in the twinbrook parkway shopping mall that is anchored by the Lotte at one end and a library at the other. I walked in on a whim cuz friends said it was good and asked for a recommendation from the waitress. She gave me three possibilities and I chose the one from the new menu that they called the Vietnamese seafood crepe. . Did not know what to expect but when it arrived I was very upset cuz it's basically a big deep fried egg, stuffed with shrimp, sprouts etc. I was upset because I had gotten one of these at another restaurant and it was just gross. Really awful. Well so much for that. This crepe is so delicious, I will come back here just to get it. The egg itself is wonderfully crispy. It does not get soggy when you dip it in the dipping sauce. It comes with large pieces of romaine lettuce and a huge spring of basil leaves. It was awesome . The ambiance is very pleasant. It is large, spacious, clean, well-lit, with attractive pictures on the wall and two screens in the front. One has beautiful marine life swimming around and the other one has menu items. It is relaxing and attractive . The service was friendly and efficient. Although I don't think her English was very advanced, it didn't interfere with my ordering or getting something I liked. Bottom line, I have added this to one of the restaurants I'm going to put in my regular rotation. I can't wait to try their other stuff. TLDR: WALKED IN OFF THE STREET NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT. FOUND A TREASURE OF A RESTAURANT THAT I WILL RETURN TO MANY TIMES OVER. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

First time here. We ordered the tofu summer roll. It was fresh. Parents had beef jerky papaya salad. They really liked it. My friend had the tofu vermicelli bowl without mushrooms and was really impressed by the tofu flavor and the sauce that came with it. Mom and Dad had the pork vermicelli and chicken vermicelli. I had the shrimp vermicelli. My parents liked theirs. I thought my shrimp bowl was great. Vegetables in bowls was very fresh. I would have liked chili paste on the table to make the fish sauce spicy instead of sriracha but that is a common thing. Would definitely come here again. read more

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. read more

I recently recommend my coworker visit Hello Vietnam for a great bowl of Pho, and he came back raving about his experience. I then realized I completely forgot to leave this business a 5 star review. Hello Vietnam is such a treat to visit as a vegan. Their menu is well labeled with what items are vegan friendly. I am so thankful that they have a vegetable broth option for their pho. It is rare to find authentic Vietnamese food that accommodates vegans, and I am so thankful they put in the effort to be inclusive to all diets. The price and quality at Hello Vietnam is beyond compare. I shared an appetizer and 2 entrees with my friend and we had so much food to take home! The banh mi was overflowing with delicious vegetables l, the noodle dish we tried was so flavorful, and the side of pho broth was delightful. Our service was attentive and fast. The atmosphere was nice. I have no complaints and am eager to return with my husband for another fantastic experience. read more

I was looking for a light dinner and love Vietnamese food, so we decided to stop by after seeing the great reviews. I started with the Goi Cuon grilled chicken rolls, a shrimp salad, and a chicken pho. We loved everything, but the chicken in the pho was a bit dry and slightly nervy. Other than that, it was a good experience, and I'd still come back to try more dishes. read more

This place is a Northern Vietnamese style cuisine restaurant. It is fairly spacious but the smaller tables seemed more squished and I felt too close to the next table. Service was good, prices were reasonable and food came out quick. Overall, food was pretty good! For starters, the Nem Cua Bể (crabmeat spring rolls) were tasty and the spring rolls were full of meat! Would recommend the Bún Chả Hà Nội (grilled pork and meatballs with vermicelli) and Bánh Cuốn Chả Lụa (steamed rice rolls with pork)--both decent portions and delicious! Their fish sauce is on the bland side, I would have liked it more saltier. The Bánh Mì Bò Né (steak with bread) was just okay--the steak flavoring was good but the meat was too overcooked so it was tough and dry, and the patê was very salty. I would have to come back to try their other dishes! read more

Very good bún đậu mắm tôm (northern style) dish. Tofu are crispy on the outside but warm and extra soft inside, the dipping shrimp paste sauce was diluted to flavorful. If you can't handle shrimp paste, i do not recommend trying this dish. Bò né is a very good dish to try as well. I came the third time and I tried their pho bò and bún bò hue, they tasted similar to other restaurants. read more

Ok, this is embarrassing - I've had delivery from Hello Vietnam three times and three times I've failed to write a review. Not this time. I can only rate them 5 stars - but I owe them 15. 5 for each visit! If you are looking for a great Vietnamese place - look no further We've had pho, vermicelli bowls, rice bowl, bahn mi, and the summer rolls. All have been outstanding. The Lemongrass chicken has been perfect each time, and every dish is packed with flavors. And - the amount of meat contained in each order is tremendous. There is no cutting corners here. The peanut sauce with the summer rolls is so e of the best we have had in the DMV. In fact, the only one I've had better in the last year has been in Singapore. Not only is the food great, but they clearly take care in preparing for delivery. Everything is package tightly, with each side of sauce carefully placed with the respective main. Already salivating for another order... Wait - I still have some leftovers..... read more

They did have more food options available since the first time I was there. We were looking forward to bo ne because it's one of our favorites and harder to find around here. We loved it! The dish was so flavorful and the dipping bread was crispy and crunchy, remind me of the ones in Vietnam. Would recommend bo ne if you give this place a try. read more

Great crispy pork belly! It isn't easy to get a good one in my area but I found it now. Perfect cooking, texture and flavorful. The pork was so crispy and tender as the same time, balance layers between skin, fat and meat part. I also had a well-known Vietnamese dish like grilled beef with rice : it was delicious, plus another bonus they served small soup bowl together, too. That was nice. My appetizer was special spring rolls with crab meat ; overall it was nice flavor and a cup of smoothies avocado for my drink, it tasted smooth creamy and quite sweet. It is interesting one, I like it anyway. As for the service, everything was nice, staffs were polite, friendly and helpful. Food came quickly even though it was crowds at that time. I think Hello Vietnam! Restaurant just has been opened recently at Twinbrook Center in Rockville, MD. Their dining room is spacious and comfortable. Convenient parking lots and location. Their menu is so variety type of Vietnamese food from Pho, Grilled, Rice, Vermicelli and Sandwich with many selection of drinks. PS. Another thing that I am interested, their menu has item is called Bun Cha Ha Noi. (House Special Menu) that is locally served vermicelli rice noodle separates from soup and meat bowl. I never seen this in many Vietnamese Restaurants that I have eaten in the US. I recognized this dish when I went to visit Hanoi, Vietnam about 10 years ago and it was authentic and tasted very good. So I guess, I might order it next time. read more

Def recommend this place, it's my new go to Viet restaurant!! So many dish options, not only is their pho delicious but also their other variety of Vietnamese dishes including meats w/ rice or vermicelli noodles. I've been searching for a GOOD pho place with a consistent rich and warm broth and yes I've finally found it here. Although a bit higher in price than what I was used to, it is totally worth it. The serving size is very large and only comes in one size. I always get the P3. Also their sriracha tastes pretty legit or pretty similar to the OG sriracha which I've missed so much lol. With the pho comes clean sprouts, a lime wedge, and fresh basil and jalapeños. The restaurant is so clean and is very large inside. The decor is super cute as well, large paintings/photographs of Vietnam and just overall I really love this place's ambiance. Ah and also the workers are so kind and courteous. They're so quick to answer questions and to accommodate any concerns or requests we had. Can't wait to try the other dishes here!! read more

I live in Frederick so yesterday was the first time I stopped by this restaurant on my way home. I ordered Bun Cha Ha Noi and it was delicious. The food was placed on a bamboo? plate so I am not sure how well this can be cleaned. I ate everything though since it looks clean enough and I was hungry. I also like the decor (large paintings) and the curved counter. I wanted to do something similar at home so it was an inspiration. Next time on my way I would stop by this place again.

8.15.23 Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food in the Twinbrook Center. Highly recommend the crispy pork belly. I don't however recommend getting a side of the vermicelli noodle. I also enjoyed the steamed rice rolls with ground pork and shrimp with grilled pork, which I got as carryout. Loved the flavor of the grilled pork, however, some pieces were chewy. Got hubby eye-round steak pho. He thought the broth was thicker and richer than our go to pho restaurant, but enjoyed the flavor. Friends enjoyed their banh mi and pork meatball entree. Loved the Vietnamese pictures on the walls and the hats on display. I actually asked if my friends and I could wear the hats to take photos. The cashier was kind enough to take photos for us. Our food was prepared rather quickly. They mixed up my carryout order and my friends so I'm glad we checked before leaving. Just a note that you pay at the register. I'm definitely a fan and so glad to have a new Vietnamese restaurant in MoCo that has an extensive menu besides just pho. The prices are a bit high especially for the banh mi so I won't be coming here as often as I'd like to. read more

New Vietnamese place opened in Twinbrook shopping center! Upon walking in, we were greeted by the servers. Very nice! The place looked beautiful with nice pictures on the wall. It's a pretty big space I think it toook over the Asian mart that used to be there! We went on a Wed and it was surprisingly full. Had a few bigger parties dining in as well! We order their crab rolls, pork belly, bun Bo hue, and pho that had everything. I really enjoyed the crab roll! Always forget what is used for the wrap but loved the crunch on it! Pork belly was tasty as well Pho had decent flavor Bun Bo hue was enjoyed, apparently not spicy enough. Their menu had a bunch of other dishes and banh mi. Also had few items that weren't available yet, like shaky beef! That's one we're looking forward to! They also had bubble tea and soft drinks. I would def come in again to try their other dishes once they have their full menu. read more

Took the kiddos here for lunch. I ordered bun bo hue, kids ordered lemon grass chicken and pork rice. The flavor on the rice dish was nice and Smokey as it should be. Not too sweet like most places I've been to. The fish sauce needed some more acidity perhaps more lime juice and a dash of fish sauce. My bun bo hue was good but not terrific. They were very generous with the meat toppings. Their Vietnamese coffee didn't really taste like Vietnamese coffee. I don't think they prepared the coffee the authentic Vietnamese way, with the dipper and condense milk. The milk tastes like cream almost... perhaps they brought out the wrong coffee for me or maybe I ordered it wrong. But it didn't taste like Vietnamese coffee. read more
