One of my favorite pho spots in the area. The restaurant is pretty large, plenty of seating. You can choose to order via the computer system or you can have someone waiting on you and they just stand there so they are quick. Food comes out as it's ready. The portions are good, the food is delicious, workers are great. I've been here a few times and never been wronged. read more

Trying another local spot to satisfy my pho craving. They have an interesting setup where you order at the kiosk and then the food is brought out. We started with Summer Rolls that has nice thin cuts of sweet and savory herbs which was light and refreshing. I got their signature pho which was decent. The broth was clear and had a deep beef flavor. I think for a quick fix, this is a great spot but not the best pho in the DMV. Apps: Summer Rolls Entrees: Pho read more

Pho Bytes, located in the Fairfax Centre in Fairfax, offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine, especially known for its hot noodle soups featuring a clear, flavorful broth and generous portions. Ordering is quick, either via tablet or at the counter. After payment, you receive a number; when your food is ready, a server brings it to your table. Complimentary drinking water was provided, not from the tap--nice touch. The ambiance is clean and well-maintained, and the menu includes a variety of options, including rice paper rolls and banh mi. Ample parking makes it a convenient spot for a good meal. Their Joy Rolls are very good--two rice-paper rolls filled with grilled pork or shrimp, lettuce, bean sprouts, and basil, served with fish sauce. They are chewy, tasty, healthy, and flavorful. The Combination Phở was less seasoned than at similar restaurants and felt somewhat bland. This hot beef noodle soup includes thinly sliced eye-round steaks, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and meatballs. read more

Interesting pho spot in a little plaza near the Walmart in Fairfax. We came as a party of 2 on a Saturday evening and was able to easily find a spot. You self-order from the kiosk tablet and they came out pretty quick with the food We ordered the pho, a banh mi, and some rice plate with beef and vegetables. I've had a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and this one was a bit peculiar - lots of hints of lemongrass in the pho, it wasn't bad but not really what I was expecting. The banh mi was delicious, excellent toasted bread and meat was a little tough but hearty nonetheless. The rice combo dish also had strange hints of lemongrass and otherwise not super viet, but almost Thai-like infusion. I'm not Vietnamese but I don't know how kosher that is in viet cuisine. Might jive with some folks but wasn't really a hit with us. tldr; funky viet spot with elements of thai fusion. Hit or miss depending your palate read more

Came here to try the runner up of NOVA pho wars 2025. Might say I preferred this broth to Pho Cylco bc this was lighter and fragrant rather than bold. Fair amount of meat and I also liked the noodle texture here too (chewier). The grilled pork rolls were unique since I mostly see summer rolls on most menus. Thought it would be a braised/boiled pork but it's more of a sausage. But would order again! read more

Good quick bite. Summer roll and joy roll. Order both so you can taste the fragrant yummy herby summer roll and then try the joy roll its crispy little bites will kind of make your moment. Service was good, staff were nice and food came out quickly, all that accomplished while they have a sign for kitchen and wait staff on the door. I don't usually go in when I see that but I had read all the rave reviews about the joy roll. Imagine what they could do if they were fully staffed. Minimal ambience but clean tables and quick service. read more

Pho Bytes - Eye Round Steak* Phở and "Pho Bytes" Combonation Phở and Joy Rolls (2) - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Great pho place in Fairfax. Not the best in my opinion but a very solid option. Pho 75 still holds the NOVA crown for me and probably always will. This is a cool spot with self-service kiosks. Their portions are generous and they don't skimp on meat. Protein is solid here. Will definitely come back. Nice staff as well. Casual spot. read more

definitely edible, but not the best pho i've had around here. respectfully, this shouldn't be a first choice

I have eaten here five times and had an overall good experience each time with fairly quick service and flavorful pho broth. However a few times the meat in the pho had been over-cooked/boiled to the point it just disintegrated into the broth. "Fall-apart tender" is good but not to the point it becomes like mud. The soup was tasty though and maybe I just was unlucky. read more

We had three Bun Bo hue all of them were bland, no flavor. We added chili to give it some type of seasoning. The server actually forgot all of our beverages. I had to ask them where it was after our entrees came. He still forgot my iced coffee lol. He gave us hot tea with leaves floating , we had to request a new pot. I had to remind him of every single item I ordered Togo. Then he forgot our Togo drinks so I had to remind him I ordered beverages Togo too. Lol He never checked up on us. I ordered a passionfruit juice Togo too- it was literally passionfruit puree with 90% water. He didn't even care to shake it. Don't even waste your time. The service was a whole joke. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

Ordered delivery via DoorDash. The grilled chicken noodle bowl was tasty and a huge portion. But the real standout were the cha gio! Some of the best I've had in the area and prompted me to write this review. Looking forward to trying out the restaurant in person! read more

Bun Bo Hue beef noodles soup and beef pho soups were delicious highly recommended. The Vietnamese coffee and the Thai milk tea were good.

Sorry I didn't take a pic of my Banh mi. I was so hungry, I devoured it while driving lol. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Clean inside and they do have ordering kiosks as well as counter service. Menu is not extensive and more Americanized if that makes sense. Ordered the cold cut banh mi, and was told they don't use pate. WTH? What cold cut banh mi doesn't use pate??? And you charging me $13...I ordered it anyways...now worried if I made the wrong decision to stop here. Took about 5 mins wait and was out the door with my sandwich. Did I mention I was starving? So I unwrapped it as soon as I got in the car...it was a foot long...yay, not complaining about $13 anymore lol. It was nicely packed with meat and veggies, perfect ratio. Took a huge bite and to my surprise, it was a very tasty sandwich despite not having pate. The bread was fresh as well. Would definitely order it again if my usual banh mi place wasn't available and if I'm in the area. read more

Pho Bytes has the best pho in Fairfax, by far! The owners know how to run a business. Ordering online and in store using their electronic system is easy and seamless. The food is consistently good and so is the customer service. The chicken broth is light, while being flavorful. You can tell they don't just dump a bunch of sugar and salt. The meat portions are fair. I have been a regular customer since their grand opening years ago and have never had a bad experience. read more

This is the third Vietnamese restaurant that I have been to in this same location. Fortunately this iteration has been the best. Self order stations, fast service, and good grilled food with nice smoky flavor. The portions were of a good size, and prices reasonable. Tables could have been cleaned more frequently and faster, but otherwise overall pretty good. read more

Placed an order at Pho Bytes for lunch and tried their Thai Iced Tea and Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Bánh Mì. The Thai Iced Tea was solid--sweet, creamy, and hit the spot. The Bánh Mì, however, was just okay. The chicken was flavorful, but the overall balance was off--the bo (sauce) was too sweet and lacked any spicy kick, which I was hoping for. That said, it's not a bad spot for a quick and casual meal. The atmosphere is decent, and the menu has enough variety to explore. I'd give it another shot, but I'd probably try a different dish next time. read more

We were craving pho and we wanted to try the spot near ShareTea! We started with the Grilled Shrimp Summer Rolls. I did not expect them to cut them into a smaller portion, but it does make it easier for sharing. We also got the Eye Round Steak Pho and the Grilled Chicken Pho. I prefer the meat to be slightly on the rare side for pho, so it did not stand out to me when it was served fully cooked in the broth. The interior is spacious with window and table seating. They have a self ordering kiosk as well as a worker at the counter that can take orders before being seated. Overall, the service was prompt and decent. read more

Pho Bytes - Grilled Pork soooo good - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Kiosk ordering system meant little interaction with the servers, and this suited us fine. My typical dining out experiences involve constant interruptions and questions and taking plates before they're finished. You won't have to worry about that at Pho Bytes. The vermicelli bowl gives my favorite Vietnamese restaurant a run for its money. I did not like the egg roll's interior, but the exterior was perfectly crunchy and not at all greasy. Super generous serving of pork and fish sauce. All the expected vegetables. Perfect dinner on a hot, humid summer night. The shrimp summer roll was a fresh starter, ideal for sharing. Loved the peanut sauce. Look forward to trying their pho next visit! read more

Fresh and light! The broth was herby and all ingredients tasted fresh. We thought everything had great flavor. We really enjoyed the grilled pork summer rolls as an appetizer.

This cold day of January I decided to visit Phot Bytes. This was my first revisit after few years and moving out of the area. Seeing the many renovations since when it was called "Pho Today" I thought (and hoped) the food quality has improved as well. To my disappointment, the only thing growing was their prices and their greed. I have been choosing Pho over any other food for past 18 years and this place truly got it wrong. Let's address the issues one at a time. The size large was the small at Pho 75. The price was 130% more than any other place ($16 for one size). The word build your own has no meaning since you are still forced to take their choices. The only option a customer has is removing items. Adding anything to their preset items is at lease $5 (tendon was $5.90). The food came out looking ok, the amount of protein was decent and although it wasn't the best cut of meat it at least a good amount in the bowl. The soup was very sweet. Please believe me that it was as sweet as a pastry, even though I added lemon and tons of sriracha sauce. As I mentioned the dining area was clean and renovated and the music and the levels of it were great. read more

Yum! We were in the area and decided to try Pho Bytes. Placed an order online which was simple and straightforward. Our order was ready within 20 mins. Employees are friendly and neatly wrapped our takeout order. There is plenty of indoor seating and the restaurant is neat and organized. Our meal was delicious! This was my first time trying Ginger Tenderized Eye Round Steak Pho. It had a lovely fresh ginger flavor and was incredibly comforting on a cool day. The broth was well prepared. Their Banh Mi was tasty as well. The baguette was fresh but could have been toasted a bit. The grilled pork was seasoned well and the vegetables inside were fresh. We will be back! read more

September 2022 - COVID Review: I honestly didn't expect much when I first came to try this place but was really surprised at how good the pho was! They have screens inside for you to self-order, pay, and then seat yourself. The menu items are a little pricey but that's most likely due to the effects of inflation. Their pho bowls only have one size by the way. My husband and I really like their joy rolls - it's like regular summer rolls but it comes with lemongrass pork (like from the vermicelli bowls) and some smaller spring rolls wrapped inside for a nice added crunch. Nice to know I have a new go to spot in the Fairfax area now! read more

I haven't dined here in ages and a lot has changed. There are now ipads to order off of and the overall aesthetic is very modern. When we walked in, the nice women in the front told us we can either order through her or on the ipad. We ordered through the ipad because we were still unsure of what to order, and once we were done. The women working said we could sit wherever we like since we were the only ones there. The food was out in a couple of minutes from drinks, appetizers, to entree. From the looks of it, presentation was very important and the food was presented neatly. The food in itself was flavorful, and comforting. I think not even mid-way through I truly knew that this was a well established family owned business because of how warming the service and food was. The vietnamese coffee that we got was so creamy like no other. It had a rich taste of vietnamese coffee beans but the creaminess of the coffee stole the spotlight for us. We absolutely loved it! The shrimp summer rolls were very fresh and did not have any bad quality to it. I will say I prefer when there's also pork strips in the summer rolls, but nothing to complain. The vermicelli noodles with lemongrass chicken and egg rolls was cooked to perfection. The eggs rolls were crunchy with a warm pork filled inside and the lemongras chicken was so flavorful and juicy, I melted. The pho broth was so comforting and had a very home like feel to it. I wish I could have gotten more food but my stomach was too full! Overall, I am very surprised that we were the only ones there. If you are looking for a nice and modern but also warming place to go to try vietnamese cuisine. I don't understand the bad reviews for this restaurant. As long as you're open minded, I will say this place is the place to go to in Fairfax area! read more

As someone born and raised in Huế, the birthplace of Bún bò Huế, I've spent 6 years in America searching for that authentic taste of home. Pho Bytes brought me right back with just one bowl. The flavors, the depth, the warmth it reminded me of the streets of my hometown. This isn't just good food, it's a beautiful memory served hot. And the iced tea? Just like the kind you'd sip in Vietnam on a quiet morning. For a moment, I truly felt like I was back home. Highly recommend to visit. read more

Pretty expensive for the size of their bowl, compared to other pho restaurants this place is more expensive.

When the pho cravings call, Pho Bytes answers. Located on the corner/left side of Sharetea, this restaurant is an excellent choice pho a quick pick-me-up that simultaneously satisfies the cravings and warms up the soul. Previously, I had ordered from here a handful of times online and had consistently positive experiences. I was surprised it was located somewhere familiar when I dined inside for the first time and since then, Pho Bytes has not disappointed! Parking in the lot is typically plentiful and guests can walk inside and directly order from the kiosk displays ahead. ‣ QUALITY - I appreciate that I can always expect fresh veggies, filling portions, and delicious flavors every visit. As for appetizers, if you are looking to try something new or want to order for a group, definitely consider the Joy Rolls! Shrimp summer rolls are usually my go-to appetizers at Vietnamese restaurants, but I always select these instead for the delicious + distinct flavors, soft grilled meat, and crispy textures that blend so nicely together. Best Bets: - Joy Rolls - Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Build Your Own Pho (with fat brisket, eyeround steak, and flank) ‣ AMBIENCE - Modern, comforting, and chill; a great pick for quick lunch/dinner with others in the area. ‣ SERVICE - The team is so sweet and genuine and the service is consistently courteous, considerate, and swift. Delightful overall! read more

The taro appetizer was a waste of money. It tasted burnt and just looked really sad. $10 for a floppy, sad looking pan fried egg. The pho was really bland. They give you a lot of noodles but no meat. 1 meat ball and maybe 2 tendon pieces.. and 5 pieces of thin meat. They don't have the egg coffee anymore. The spring rolls/summer rolls are two pieces for 4-5 bucks. This menu IMO is really small. Nothing new or interesting. Service was fine. They check on you pretty frequently. read more

I am tired of the rash of businesses that decide to stop serving food 40 minutes before they close. At pho Butes at 7:23 pm and they tell me it's take out only because they are getting ready to close seriously? They same restaurant that we supported during covid with 20 dollar tips can't now stay open to serve customers past 7:23 pm. Nope, too many other good pho restaurants, they have lost my business forever. Good luck, I don't want to hear how the community didn't support a local business when they close down in a year or so. do better pho bytes read more

Pho Bytes - It's 7:23 pm and they won't seat me for dinner b/c they say they are getting ready to close. - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Good for: ordering on iPads before seating at a table and seeing realistic photos on the wall. Broth is clean and delicious, noodles are springy, and the lady at the counter took great measures to personalize my experience by seating me and my partner in a lovely sofa surrounded by orchids. Personally I like knowing exactly what the food looks like. My American accent might as well be garbage here and there, which is why Viet places with a classic visual menu are the best. (they actually have a whole wall with huge pictures). all of the meats could use a little more improvement. a little too overcooked is ok; but neither me or my man enjoyed the meat quality in our bun bo hue or pho. unfortunately meat is really important to our taste buds, but I'm sure they'll change the distributor or something soon. read more

Pho Bytes - Eye Round is better than Flank, Pho (left) with Bun Bo Hue (right) - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I wanted Vietnamese since I haven't had it in awhile. After some research since I didn't know the area particularly well, pho bytes seemed promising. The restaurant was clean and modern. Instead of the usually sit down with service, food was ordered upfront at the register first then served to you. We ordered a rice and noodle dish. Bun Bo Hue - I'm sorry to say this but absolutely no flavor. None at all. The soup was bland even after a couple of spoonfuls. The richness that usually comes from the meat and spices were missing especially without salt to enhance it. The broth tasted liked spiced water. It was so disappointing. I even used the fish sauce from the other dish to supplement the missing flavor. As someone else said "spice and aroma infused water." Marinaded pork w/ egg roll rice dish - typically rice and meat dish. The pork was good but salty so it didn't really need the additional accompaniment of the fish sauce. It was used to try and save the lacking dish. My favorite was the pickled daikon and carrots. I feel responsible since I brought my mom here. We were stuck between two places and ultimately chose here. I wanted my mom to enjoy her favorite cuisine but was left unsatisfied. read more

Food was amazing and I'll definitely be going back. However I had a few concerns. When I was eating the vegetables I bit into something hard? Upon further investigation I found out that it was actually a dime. Yes. A piece of change. That didn't stop me though, because the food was phenomenal. However, as I kept eating, I found a piece of hair in my food. A bit unsettling, but again, will not stop me from eating there as their food is really good. I did in fact finish my meal, just thought i'd share since it's something that I can see other people having problems with. Overall, 7/10 would probably recommend. read more

Pho Bytes - my food and my special dime - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Delicious, authentic Vietnamese food! So happy we happened to be at a nearby Home Depot and craving some pho. We ordered the Grilled Pork Bánh Mì, Phở Bytes (Combination Pho), Build Your Own Phở with fat brisket and Eyeround Steak, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Everything was fresh and though we had only ordered about 9 minutes ahead, we only had to wait maybe 3-5 more minutes after we parked and went inside. The pho broths were very tasty and were sweeter than expected; I think I could taste the star anise more than usual but both the sweetness and the star anise taste made for a uniquely yummy bowl. The Grilled Pork Bánh Mì was super tasty; yes some could say it could use more meat but I felt like it was well balanced. I asked for no cilantro and extra pickled carrots and daikon but really didn't need to ask for extra - there was plenty already which I appreciated. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was BANGER - it tasted like an affogato (a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of espresso), I swear. So sweet and creamy. MUST order if you like caffein! Will definitely be back! ---------------- Food descriptions from website: Grilled Pork Bánh Mì: Bánh Mì filled with grilled pork, house mayonnaise, cucumbers, daikon & carrot pickles, cilantro, green onion, jalapeños, and topped with house special sauce. Vietnamese Iced Coffee: Vietnamese iced coffee is prepared using traditional drip filter, mixed with condensed milk, and served over ice. Phở Bytes (Combination Pho) Thin sliced eyeround steaks*, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and meatballs are all combined in one special "Phở Bytes" bowl *Consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. read more

I will never stop coming here! The staff is super friendly and fast. Their food is always tasty. I usually get the vermicelli bowls with grilled pork and eggrolls but this time I got something different: broken rice with grilled pork and egg roll, along with bun bo hue. Both dishes made my night and had such great flavor! My favorite appetizer is the shrimp spring rolls as they are different from any shrimp spring roll I've had. The shrimp is perfectly seasoned and I COULD NOT STOP EATING IT! Also, this place is COVID conscious with staff wearing masks, a kiosk to place/pay for your orders, and plenty of sanitizer. read more

This is my go to pho place, even though I get a junior bowl it is filling for me but my friend always gets a regular bowl and finishes it up while I'm still struggling my bowl to finish, so I'd suggest a junior bowl whoever can't finish a regular bowl or who don't eat much. I love using the kiosks to put in my order since it gives me enough time to decide what I want to eat. People who work there are friendly and I like the atmosphere there, again I love hanging out at places where it isn't too crowded and this is perfect for me! read more

Pho Bytes - Junior menu:Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Delicious Vietnamese food for a good price! So far I've had the Lemongrass chicken and grilled pork rice dishes, Summer Rolls, Ginger Beef Pho, and the Build Your Own Pho with flank and eye round. All were very tasty! I will say I had a hard time distinguishing the lemongrass chicken and grilled pork from eachother because they were so similar and not labeled (to-go order) but they both had good flavors so I let it go. The broth of the Pho is so good on it's own, you don't even need to add anything extra to it. As for the service, I dined in recently and had a great experience. The gentleman who was running everything was very friendly and eager to give us recommendations. He and another lady would come and check on us, and make sure we had everything we needed. Before the pho was served, they brought out the hoisin and sriracha and wrapped them in plastic for our use. I thought this was a great idea, especially with everything going on! I will definitely be keeping Pho Bytes in my rotation for when I want something delicious and comforting! read more
