    Spring Rolls and margaritas

    We have been here a couple of times after playing pool at the nearby pool bar called Revolution. We were kinda tired to constantly eating fried food at the pool bar. So we decided to give this one a try. They have great selection of Vietnamese food ranging from Pho to pork chops & noodles or rice. Honey garlic pork with shrimp is absolutely delicious. Do checkout their house specials on the last page in the menu. Also ask the server for recommendations if you haven't had any other Vietnamese food other than pho. We did try pho the next time we were here. Huge portion of pho with nice portion of meat as well. Absolutely love the hot sauce. Do ask them if you want to add some kick to your pho. Price is nominal as well. Parking is easy to find in this area. Highly recommend this place.

    Firstly, this review is long overdue!! I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment with two friends . We started with the roll combo appetizer made up of three different kinds of appetizer rolls from a rice paper fresh roll with shrimp to a crunchy roll. What's it out to me was how fresh these items were from the kitchen. Prepared well and extremely flavorful with quality ingredients. We also opted for some fresh squeezed juice options. This is very unique! I ordered a lemonade and my girlfriend ordered a fresh squeezed green juice and they were both absolutely incredible and refreshing to accompany our meal. We opted for filet mignon pho . And let me tell you... It was a luxury I never knew I needed or was missing. The steak was so tender. The broth was very flavorful as if it had been cooked for hours, and the noodles were tender. It was a bowl that was worth its price, and it is very difficult to beat. My friend ordered a different spicy soup, called Bo ho hue (I am sure I am misspelling this) but while it was a lesser known local Vietnamese favorite, when I sampled the broth, it was also incredibly flavorful with a deep beef and spice base that was so satisfying. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, she is a very down to earth and lovely woman! It is clear that she puts her love and passion into her menu and into her products, it was also very clear to me that the produce that is purchased for these items is top-notch . If you are looking for an elevated approach to your next Vietnamese cuisine, absolutely look no further . Thank you so much to the staff and the owner and I am looking forward to dining again . Plenty of parking and seating, both indoor and outdoor! Plenty of fresh plants, and the mix Location is very well-maintained! Great addition to Fairfax! Check them out on Instagram and the plenty reels and reviews :)

    FIlet Mignon Pho

    My friend and I were feeling pho this past rainy Wednesday evening so we stopped by for dinner. The interior is well-decorated and not your typical hole-in-a-wall. Our server got our orders quickly and made sure we had enough water throughout. FILET MIGNON PHO - 23 The pho broth was rich and savory. I enjoyed sipping on it and loved the depth of the flavor. The filet mignon was very tender. The noodles had a good texture and soaked up the broth well. While it's definitely one of the better phos in the DMV, I can't justify paying 23.00 for a bowl of pho when I can get a bowl elsewhere for 5.00-10.00 cheaper. Overall, it was great to try! We enjoyed our experience here but not sure if the pricing is worth it.

    A Vietnamese restaurant for the initiated and uninitiated into the cuisine. Kim's Pho Kitchen & Bar has a diverse menu with authentic Vietnamese dishes to please even the pickiest of eaters as well as the adventurous. Their specialty is the pho which the say they spend 15 hours making the broth for, and I believe it. Their beef pho features a deep, aromatic broth full of flavor that easily rises to my top 5 pho places in NOVA. Kim's was fairly busy on a Thursday during lunch time, and there was a wide variety of people there dining which always makes me happy. Despite the modern, upscale interior, the service is still quite authentically Vietnamese, so if you want someone to come by your table for something more than seating you and taking your order, you'll need to flag them down. No disrespect, just something to keep in mind. Overall, I was quite pleased with my experience and will come back to try some of their other non-pho dishes that are hard to come by (e.g., banh xeo, banh khot, and banh hoi).

    I feel ambivalent. It was a really cool hip interior which is different than one might think for a Vietnamese or pho restaurant. If you don't think of it as a typical pho restaurant i think it helps because it was pretty pricey for our family. We both had the short rib pho which was good but also $$ pricey. It included a very flavorful short rib but also some sliced beef. We indulged in a side of fatty brisket and it was really good The fried egg rolls were really good with pork. They also had fried tofu appetizer which our kids like. Service was fine- didn't get checked on but they were very polite and we had to go to counter/bar for an item. No big deal. They had a really nice looking bar. I recommend for a nicer/fancier Vietnamese restaurant which sometimes is desired. Great for small groups, friends, dates, family.

    Came here after seeing an Instagram post highlighting their filet mignon pho. This restaurant offers a diversified menu option for guests. I ordered the filet mignon pho and shaky beef also with filet mignon. As far as the food, I thought everything was mediocre. The broth wasn't too salty but not too hot. It was a little too lukewarm for me. The shaky beef came in a sizzling dish but served with sliced romaine and pickled veggies that did not go well with the dish. I wish the veggies were served cold and not combined. The point of eating a filet mignon steak is not to overcook it but it's served in a sizzling grill which then overcooks the meat. There is a nice ambiance inside with a darker theme. The service was great with all the staff being very friendly. Ample parking outside and clean bathroom. There is a bar that you can sit at as well as a good amount of alcohol options.

    I found this place on a whim after running errands. It's nice to find Vietnamese food away from Falls Church because sometimes the traffic to the Eden Center can be a pain. This place is quite picturesque. You can tell they put some thought in their colors, decor inside and out. I've been here twice and have tried their bun Bo hue, the filet mignon pho, the Saigon iced latte, and the chocolate lava cake. I will say their prices is on the high side but you get pretty decent portions so it doesn't feel you're getting skimped. I love their soup bowls because they're super random and have different designs. It makes it more homey versus your typical white soup bowls at most restaurants. I've always caught them towards the end of the night on a weekday so it's never too busy. Their service pretty efficient, checking in to place orders and getting your dishes pushed out. Is this place distinctly different than other Vietnamese restaurants? No. Even so, between the service and the tropical feel of the restaurant makes you return. Im curious to try some of the other dishes in the future.

Unfortunately, Captain Pell's missed the mark in providing us with that experience. For starters, the place just through observation, seemed very understaffed. This is what we believe led to our abandonment by our server. Our drinks weren't properly refilled after sitting for some time without our server checking in on us and our food turned cold waiting a lengthy time on condiments. An order for oysters had to be cancelled as they never made it out to our table the entire evening. We requested to speak with the restaurant manager but was only spoken to by a lead server who although kind, did not have the authority to rectify our situation. This spoke volumes as to how the restaurant leadership feels about their patrons. If you are in the northern Virginia area and looking for a great seafood dining experience, definitely seek some of the higher rated seafood establishments in the area.

    Stopped in for some raw oysters and a cold pint of ale on my way to visit The Amazing Comic Store…read moreon 2026 Free Comic Book Day... It was a Saturday, mid-afternoon. There were very few customers. I grabbed a spot at the bar - in fact I had the whole bar to myself. Pete the bartender approached and I requested a menu. After looking it over, I found no oysters on the half shell - so I asked. Turns out, that is a separate menu. I ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell. They had three species on special - so I ordered 4-4-4 to make my dozen. And a pint of Goose Island IPA, and then the crab cakes appetizer. The raw oysters came out in about 10 minutes. Complete with a fresh lemon, horseradish, cocktail sauce, and mignonette. I also asked for some hot sauce - preferably NOT Tabasco sauce. Pete brought out two local hot sauces I've never heard of. I tried the first one - it was pretty good. I squeezed the lemon onto all the oysters, then added a couple of drops of hot sauce per oyster, and then some of the horseradish. Overall, tasty oysters. But a bit on the small size. The crab cakes were okay - a little bready from a texture perspective. The Goose Island IPA was cold and refreshing. Paid with a credit card. Service was good. #KellysOysterBar
