On a cold winter day, my wife and I wanted some soup. This was our first visit it. It was not what…read morewe expected. It says "100 bowls"; we thought it was "100 different kinds of soup". Still, they probably had ten to 20 different kinds of soup. The majority of the soups are vegetarian. I saw two meat based products: chicken soup and beef stew. Everything is take out. We had thought there would at least be a place to eat soup inside the business. All that said, we plan to return.

Coco Bay Tea in Waldorf, MD is such a hidden gem! .The service is always phenomenal. The ambiance…read moreis giving cozy. The pho is absolutely delicious rich, flavorful broth, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked noodles. You can really taste the care that goes into it. It's comforting, filling, and hits the spot every time. And let's talk about the bubble tea So good! The flavors are on point, not overly sweet, and the boba is always fresh and chewy. It's the perfect pairing with a warm bowl of pho. If you're in Waldorf and craving great pho and bubble tea with a clean restaurant, Coco Bay Tea is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!

I've been to Cocoa Bay before, and it was good,nothing spectacular, but decent enough to return…read more This visit, however, was more about the experience than the food, and unfortunately, it wasn't a good one. While waiting for my order, I noticed the staff (who seemed pretty young, not saying that negatively, just observationally) loudly talking about not getting tips. Loud enough for the whole place to hear. That was my first sign that the atmosphere might be off. When my order was ready, they didn't call out the item or confirm anything, they just said my name, tossed the tied-up bag on the counter, and walked away. I watched them call other orders properly with names and items, so the contrast stood out. Regardless of how good food may be, customer experience matters. I didn't ask for a manager because I've worked in management before, and I know staff behavior often reflects internal leadership and environment. Still, it's something worth noting: even for quick-service or takeout spots, courtesy and professionalism go a long way. This interaction felt dismissive and honestly off-putting. I'm not writing this to be harsh,just to be honest. This is why I prefer to tip in casHopefully it's something the team can improve on, because small interactions shape the whole experience.

The broth was smooth and luxurious without any hint of raw flour taste. Really perfectly made! And the price - at about $15 per pint - is very reasonable. There was so much left over that we used it another day as pasta sauce (we added some peas, a little paprika and some extra cream). That was YUMMY too! I will go out of my way for more Shore Boys Soup!!! Highly recommend this stuff!!!

The best cream of crab soup. It's the bar that I rate all other cream of crab soups too. Creamy,…read morespicy, not too thick, not too thin, lump crab meat, great flavor. If you freeze it I would thaw it in the fridge first then heat it on the stove. I got two pints the other day. The first was thawed and I heated it up and it tasted just like it used too in the Legal Spirits restaurant. The second I followed the directions. Ran hot water on the edges and put the frozen block on the pan to melt down. That batch tasted a little over cooked. But, anyways hands down favorite cream of crab soup. You just walk into the antique store and you can buy it by the pint ($13) and there are some bulk deals/discounts.

So glad they were open New Year day We get a little sticker shock looking at the extensive menu,…read moreprices were a few dollars higher than most similar VN places but we want to like the food enough for future visits. The room decor is nice and music track of instrumental songs was pleasant for conversations We tried Bun Bo Hue the middle region spicy beef and pork soup, tempura salt and pepper garlic squid appetizer, and stir fry chaxiu roast pork & vegetables with pan fried egg noodle dish. Surprisingly, this restaurant has served me one of the best rendition of Bun Bo Hue , it has the right level of Unami and spice for my tastebuds to make it a return item better than others in many places I have tried in CA and NVA. The thinly sliced beef brisket and pork meat dumpling and roll were tender and flavorful to add interest to an amazingly complex broth cooked with probably toasted ginger, onion, bones, lemon grass, fish sauce, rock sugar and fermented shrimp paste. The only thing missing was the tender skin on pork feet and correct side herbs and vegetables for this type of soup. If they have these, I'll be there every week and gain weight fast. We liked the other dishes also for their great sense of seasoning and variety of fresh ingredients. Their dipping sauce for the squid is delicious. The stir fry noodles and pork tasted great to get a thumbs up from my son. The kitchen seems to know its business when it comes to taste. We will make it a point to return for other dishes as well to explore the range of their kitchen. I could see that they were a little understaffed so folks were a little impatient when the kitchen gets a little back up with orders. Service over all is good because the one waiter had to cover the dine in, carry out , and bussing the tables as well and has a chilled sense of humor to handle minor fussiness from hungry customers. People often don't tip folks in this type of ethnic restaurants even the normal 15 percent even on holidays. It is probably very hard to find dependable hard working service folks for small business these days.

They desperately need to hire more people. One guy on a busy Saturday waiting all the tables,…read morecleaning them (not really), and ringing up at the register. There was another guy there smoking outside who could have helped. This is the only pho in Calvert County, and while it's priced slightly higher than pho in Northern Virginia, it's solid, and a dependable option here in this county. That said, the restaurant was so messy on Saturday, it was likely to drive potential customers away. Clean the tables, please! The area in the back on the way to the bathroom is a disaster too, but the front tables were covered with dirty dishes, and the debris from previous patrons. Good luck finding one clean/empty table at 6 on a Saturday. The food is good but if the interior stays like this, I'm very unlikely to to return much, unless I get take-out.

I got mine with onion rings and let me say i can't wait to get those again! I also added the dipping sauce to try since why not?! My family got the BLT, steak && cheese sub, and shrimp basket. Everyone CRUSHED! They don't skimp on the fries w each meal either. You are going to be full. Cute 'I Love Lucy' themed spot with the can in the parking lot.

The Castellano had a crisped pile of gorgeous beef, with crispy fries, and super fresh veggies (basically a cheeseburger on a sub). My husband ordered this one, so I didn't taste it personally but he absolutely LOVED it. The Thommy, The Three Fingers is a chopped cheese. It's, by god, the best I've ever had in my life. I add peppers, provolone and mayo and an extra side of tzatziki (labeled garlic cucumber on the menu), and oil and vinegar (which tastes like Italian dressing, but who's counting?). The bread is phenomenal. I may literally just order a sub roll with no ingredients one day, just so I can eat it toasted with butter, with every meal I have. It's soft and fluffy, crispy and chewy all at the same time. (It almost gives bagel, but not tough). I also got the y cheesecake. Not as special, perhaps from the Cysco truck (iykyk), but I still bought it and scarfed it down. Strawberry topping was def the average canned-strawberry topping (but I personally love that). I cannot stress, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! As for service, the entire team is so friendly and helpful. They kid around, make silly jokes and make sure your order is prepared fresh and fast. It isn't "fast food fast", but also doesn't taste like shit either, so the wait is worth it. At most 10-15 min if you don't call ahead. As for seating, in winter there are only two two-tops so seating is extremely limited. It is mostly a deli-and-get-outta-here kind of place, but nonetheless welcoming and charming. They have tons of Italian memorabilia all over the walls including giant GodFather posters, taxi plates and more. Today was my first time inside, but I've had my husband go pick up food several times on the way home. I cannot live without one of these subs AT MINIMUM once a month.
