Best green tea i've found in Midlothian! The salted foam on top held integrity and didn't melt immediately into the tea. Not too sweet, with a beautiful, aromatic, fresh-brewed green tea flavor. I also love the tofu with noodles. It's a deceivingly bigger portion than it looks. It comes with pickled veggies, sprouts, and a light sauce to pour over everything. Pho Bowl prices are a little higher than i'd typically prefer from a spot I usually pick up from; but the quality speaks for itself. The interior atmosphere is nice, which might be where those extra dollars comes from. My boyfriend had the oxtail pho and said it was good, but he wouldn't order it again because the oxtail was on the bone and effortful to eat. I love that they have vegetarian options, the tofu is seriously good! read more

Updated: Sadly, this place has raised its prices so high that we won't be able to go back. Well over $100 (including tip) to feed an adult and 3 children for a pho lunch? I love this place, but not the prices :( read more

Pho spot located in Hilltop area. Ambiance wise, the place looked like it was renovated recently and there is a good amount of parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Service was friendly from the staff and the food came out relatively quickly from ordering. Food was not very memorable in terms of spices or ingredients. It seems pretty average, if they can work on the recipe a bit, the restaurant is situated in a great location that can attract a lot of visitors. read more

Pho Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Ventured over because the hubby and I have been a bit under weather and I had a taste for Pho! Not too many places near me and so- I decided on venturing out to a Pho restaurant where I knew the soup was going to be delicious!! Veggie Pho for me minus the bean sprouts with beef broth and Chicken Pho for my love. 10/10 just as I remembered. We also had 2 orders of summer rolls that were delicious and fresh! Fresh shrimp and veggies all wrapped up served with a delicious peanut sauce. Our soups were great and definitely worth the ride. It was Nice and quiet during my visit. I just beat the lunch hour which I recall they would get pretty busy. I also noticed they've changed their hours. They use to only open through lunch time and again for dinner whereas now the hours in between they are open. Maybe one day we'll venture over and enjoy a meal dining in...the restaurant has upgraded its interior and decor. The store was clean and staff were welcoming. I placed my order over the phone and let the young lady know it was going to take me 30 minutes to arrive and my order was ready when I arrived. Looking forward to our return! Happy Yelping! read more

Pho Bowl - They've really changed since my last visit :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

The lunch specials are a good deal, they're ready on-time, and so delicious. The Bahn Mi always has the perfect ratio of veggies to meat (the pic doesn't do it justice). I also reccomend the bun ga nuong cha gio - vermecelli dish with lemongrass chicken, it's so flavorful. And the service is top-notch. Every employee I have interact with is polite, friendly, and ready to assist. read more

Pho Bowl - Banh Mi VN Sandwich (Grilled Chicken) - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I don't like many pho places in the area, but I will always come back here. The broth is very good. I enjoy the lemongrass chicken rice plate, too. No complaints when coming here. Employees are very nice; we talked about the Lunar New Year on our last visit and she was super friendly and kind. read more

I went here on lunch one day and the service was amazing. They just opened for the day, so the waitress was very attentive and nice. I got the meat lovers pho combo with a crispy spring roll and I got Thai tea to drink. The pho was alright but did not have as much flavor as other pho places I've been too. But the amount of noodles and meat was perfect. I just had to add some fish sauce to the broth to make it have a little stronger flavor. The crispy spring roll was amazing, it was so crispy and the inside had a lot of filling which was nice. The Thai tea was probably my favorite item. It tasted like actual Thai tea and not the artificial or instant type. AMAZING! The ambiance was very relaxing and chill. It felt very minimalistic but also calming. Very nice place for a quiet lunch. read more

I had the pho, which was ok. My husband ordered the pork bahn mi. Ummmm.... I will be getting THAT when I come back! On a cold day, the pho was ok, but I have a higher bar set than most. With that said, I have nothing negative to say about that sandwich! Perfectly cooked and seasoned with a lightly toasted crunch to the warm bread.... I sat there nodding my head in approval the whole time. Whatever came on the side with his order was forgotten once this sandwich came out. We will definitely return when we're in the area again. read more

Pho Bowl - Yummmmmm!!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Big issue, two customers came in and they both had dogs. One small dog and one big dog. I love dogs but VA health department does not allow dogs in restaurants for a good reason. Staff was petting the dogs and not washing their hands. Restaurant looked clean. The pho was okay. Broth did not have much flavor. Service was not great. Walked in and got no greeting, just was told to sit anywhere. Menu was dropped off and the waitress came back with "what do you want" a few minutes later. Will not be returning here out of fear of the cleanliness by the staff. read more

Two bites and my meal was over. And I was looking so forward to some delicious pho on this snowy day too! The spring rolls felt greasy but the owner said via the cashier that it was the water released from the tofu. You need to press your tofu to get out the excess water. The tofu in the pho was... I could have been eating caulking. It needed to have some marinade or something? If you serve tofu, you need to learn how to prepare it. I thought about taking it home to see if any of my 4 children would eat it but I know they wouldn't. So for $21 I got a bad taste in my mouth. Literally!! $21 for nothing!! Should just ate the snow. I should have stuck with Bistro Brothers! They are incredible! read more

We have visited Pho Bowl for years before the new owner took over 5 years ago. We event visited one last time when the old owner and the new owner were present. The new owner renovated the restaurant about 5 years ago, the place looks really modern, we decided to give it a try. However, the food is no longer tasty and all portions got smaller. Today we visited again after 4 years, I couldn't believe that there is no typical combination pho; the noodle was very hard, and we were only able to pick 4 types of meat in our pho(or you will need to pay extra). The fried rice was really so-so, not worth to pay that much. Most disappointing part was that this restaurant used to have the BEST Shaking beef we ever had...but, not anymore. All we can say is we are not going back again There is better Pho restaurant call Pho Ngon in Kingstowne Towne center, about 10 minutes from this location. Give it a try! read more

The customer service was quick and friendly. The food was okay. The crispy spring rolls were a little burnt and greasy. The pork chop was a little tough. The Pho was a little smaller portion than most places. The Thai tea wasn't bad. Question of cleanliness is what concerns me as while my coworker was eating his chicken fried rice he found hair in it (see picture attached) I think that alone takes away a persons appetite all together. We quietly told the waiter and he took it back and removed it from the bill with no problem. Then as I was going through the photos from previous reviews we saw that one of the pictures someone found a small snail in their food. I know these things happen but I don't like finding surprises in my food so I wouldn't give this place another shot unfortunately. read more

They remodeled! I love this place! They have the most authentic pho. When I walk in, I get this clean, modern, new vibe. It's so cute with yellow and pastel colors. It's close to my home which I love, only 5 minutes, that's so convenient. They uphold social distancing rules, which I love, they have hand sanitizer available, they have tables 6 feet apart. And everyone wears masks. The owner is so sweet and honest. I would support local businesses. It's so good!!! read more

I've traveled all over East Asia, as well as Falls Church and Alexandria, and this spot serves pho that truly captures authentic flavors. The aroma is bold--maybe a bit unexpected for those unfamiliar with traditional East Asian cuisine--but everything here is well-balanced. The pho had a variety of meats, including tendons, and the portion was just right. The owner was incredibly welcoming and made my visit feel special. read more

The food was so-so. My noodles dish was supposed to be pan fried. Instead, it was pan burnt. I don't plan to patronize again. read more

Ordered a Vietnamese sandwich - Banh mi (it was over $10 - that's a little ridiculous). It wasn't made on a french baguette, to begin with. The flavor was not authentic. I had pho here before; pho was not bad. Overall - good, not great. I'm with Amy M. on this way - overprice for food that's not even authentic. We regret paying that much for a sandwich. A sandwich would have been better elsewhere. read more

I was disappointed with my visit to Pho bowl. The food lacked flavor and was quite bland. I ordered Summer roll, spring roll & lemongrass chicken Vermicelli noodles expecting a burst of taste, but unfortunately, it fell short. The service was kinda slow, the taste of the food was definitely a letdown. I hope they can improve the seasoning and flavors in their dishes." read more

I've been coming here for years but the last two times I've been absolutely awful I mean how can you mess up Pho? Price for a bowl of pho is now up to $14 you can see where they crossed out the old prices on their menu and made the new prices in pen ink. The meat variety in the pho is tough with gristle and disgusting and I actually had to spit out most of it and heard another customer complaining about the meat as well. I will never come here again as there are many other wonderful pho restaurants in the area. read more

Went here for the first time for Pho and Fried Rice take out. The food was decent. However, with all the inflation, they are now charging an extra $.50 per entree and $.25 per appetizer for takeout. They can make some excuse about it being for the cartons and bag, but that's still ridiculous. So with 2 dishes, that was an extra dollar. Then, during the card swipe, the guy there had the balls to pre-select a 15% tip before turning it around. He said all I needed to do was "sign". That's not how tipping works, I'm sorry. Never again. read more

Menu needs to be updated on yelp, it's about 40% more than some of these pictures of the menu. Open dining area with ikea-like furniture. It's a good dining experience, but borderline too expensive for the amount of food. Quality and service is good. read more

Came here on a Friday during lunch, it was somewhat busy, but not to worry, the service was still very fast. I ordered the B13 pho and my coworker ordered the beef stewed soup. I like that the pho broth has the strong spices flavoring (not watered down). Perfect for these breezing days and conveinently located down just outside of Ft Belvoir. You can also make your pho a lunch combo which adds a spring roll and a soda. read more

Who can say no to a decent bowl of Pho for a fair price? Weekday lunch was not terribly crowded (they got 3 lunch specials!)- I got a B15, spring roll and soda. Everything was served piping hot and scrumptious. My pho broth was tasty (not overly salty or msg-y), Meat was tender, and noodles were al dente. Nice clean side veggies - thank you. Will def be back, thank you! read more

First off, the pho is delicious! Food service is quick. Secondly, the customer service is UNMATCHED. I personally observed the owner/manager going around to each table and having personal conversations with every patron. And I don't mean "How's the food?", I mean "Wow, you guys are healthy! Just tofu and broccoli, huh?". I've been getting takeout from this location for a while, but I will definitely be stopping in more often to eat just because I felt so welcomed. read more

This place used to be our go to spot for Pho and even after moving from the neighborhood. Was in the area and felt like having Pho. Called to place the order which took more effort than needed having to repeat & reconfirm for the person taking the order. Went inside to pay and pick up the order and the customer service was horrible. Asked for hot sauce and this is the portion they have. Don't know what it is about Asian restaurants being so stingy about giving sauces. They act like as if it costs them so much $$$ to provide this service. Avoid this place, there are better options in the area. read more

Pho Bowl - Portion of hot sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

It was so cold today and I was craving pho, so we stopped by during 1ish and the place was packed. Parking was a pain, luckily we found a spot. I ordered the lunch special combo which consisted of a bowl of pho of any kind except for their special pho which was too awesome because typically at other pho joints they only allow you to pick either chicken, beef, or veggies, what a selection right? so I'm so happy that you can get almost any kind of pho except their special and one other. The combo also comes with a soda and a side of either a spring roll or summer roll. I opted for the spring roll and that was ok. It didn't have much that was stuffed in the roll, the nuoc mam didn't taste that great and the garnish that came with it was eh.. and it didn't come out pipping hot like I liked it to be. The pho however was fantastic. You couldn't smell the aroma of pho but the taste was there. It didn't taste like flavored cubes, but anyhow... the size that they give you is a perfect size for lunch, and they don't go skimpy on the meat either. Typically at another pho places that consisted of a lunch combo, they go skimpy on everything, not this place. I also noticed the owner likes to socialize with her customers so that's a plus to see. This is definitely a new favorite spot of mine for pho in the springfield/alexandria area. The only thing I would change would be the amount of garnish for the pho, there were 3 of us and it wasn't enough. Also they should come out with a punch card, buy 9 bowls get the 10th free or something. Lure more customers in!! Lunch combos are $10ish. read more

Very fast, friendly and efficient Pho noodle bowl place. You can get in and get out with your to-go order really quick!

They do have a pho bowl rewards card if you get 10 bowls you can get one free. They have made it very easy for me to grab a quick, filling lunch to go and get back to work. read more

I recently had the unfortunate experience of encountering a male employee at Pho Bowl who displayed abysmal customer service skills. It is disheartening to see someone representing this restaurant behave in such an unprofessional and disrespectful manner. From the moment I enter the restaurant, it was evident that he lacked even the most basic understanding of how to interact with customers demeanor was dismissive and apathetic, making me feel like an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. He appeared disinterested in assisting me. It was my first time coming to this restaurant the whole place looked pretty and was excited it's unfortunate to have had this experience. read more

First Time visit was today and it was a very pleasant experience all around from the food to the people who provided it. Saw mixed reviews and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did, the food was delicious, the portions were more than enough to walk away full of Pho and Happy. I did the lunch combo and my wife the beef stew, both were tasty and meat so tender (melted in your mouth). We tried both the spring roll (fried) and the shrimp, very delicious, and each with it's own sauce which enhanced the individual flavor. The biggest draw to bring us back was the personal greeting by the owner and conversation, very personable and told us if we had any issues or questions she would handle personally. We recieved a stamp card and I see it filling up relatively quickly and looking forward to every delicious slurp towards our free bowl. read more

The pho wasn't bad but the broth was barely warm. The spring rolls and grilled chicken vermicelli were disappointing and also not hot. The ambience was horrible due to the very rude waiter. I understand we all have bad days, but he had an exceptionally bad attitude. I regularly eat pho but I won't ever be returning here. read more

no taste, no flavor. I eat a lot of pho and this is not the place to go if you want flavor.

This used to be a go-to place for me under the previous owners. The new owners are very friendly but have changed the menu enough that the broth isn't as rich or flavorful and the overall quality is very hit and miss. Better places that you don't have to travel out of your way to find. read more
