    Pho 1. Combination Pho
    Bert L.

    Pho was on good. Wanted extra basil, she was like "that was extra." Place was mood lit. Combo is my standard. Not enough weird stuff that I love. Overall ok experience. Nothing to go out of your way for around here. Not the friendliest bunch. It could be me though, I was sort all over the place if to eat in or take home. Sorry if I need a fork. I got paws so chopsticks ain't my thing. Spring rolls were good. Just OK.

    Large 4. 4. (Fatty) Brisket Pho

    The food portions are pretty generous and the taste was even better. I hardly made a dent in my pho and had plenty left over. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. They must be under new management as there's no way this can only have 3.5 stars at the time of this review.

    Garden roll

    Finally gave this place a try. Ordered the pho and the garden rolls to go, ordering online made it easy which is a plus. Broth was tasty, no need to use hoisin sauce. I got me special pho which came with all sorts of meats. One thing they were lacking of was the green onions and jalapenos peppers. Garden roll was good but didn't dig the peanut sauce. Prices are fair here, cheaper than some places around Manassas.

    Visited here recently and really liked it! One of my favorite things about this restaurant was the decorations and atmosphere. You can tell that they spent a lot of time to make the interior look nice. The summer rolls and pho were delicious. The meat was a little more fatty compared to what I'm used to when I order similarly at other pho restaurants, but I enjoyed my bowl. The regular size was very generous and also had a lot more meat serving-size-wise as compared to other pho establishments in the area (nice!). The restaurant was not crowded when we went but the service here was not that good. Our waters remained empty on the table for some time and we had to repeatedly flag down our server for simple things. I noticed they had a lot of take-out orders though, so I would definitely guess that is most people's preference when eating here.

    I visited Pho Char for the first time recently for lunch on a warm Saturday afternoon. Pho Char has been open for a couple of months now - according to my server. It was in the mid-70's outside when I walked in - and it was absolutely sweltering inside the restaurant when I walked in. It must have been in the upper 80's inside. I mentioned this to the server, I think they somehow did not anticipate how warm it would get inside - with the kitchen contributing heat into the dining area, on a warm day outside - and with the AC not turned on. I ordered the fresh garden rolls, and a large Pho Ga. I asked that the rolls come out first. They were rather average. Next came the Pho Ga. I first tasted the chicken broth before adding anything. The broth had a nice tasty, richness to it. The plate of aromatics was fresh. I added the bean sprouts, jalapeños, basil, and lime wedge to the bowl. And went to town. Pretty good bowl of Pho Ga. And of course, the ridiculous high temperature inside the restaurant detracted from my enjoyment of the Pho - but it was still good Pho Ga. As I was paying my bill - the server was very apologetic about the temperature inside - and promised it would be cooler inside next time I visited. I will definitely try this place out again - but it had better not be a sauna in here again - if so, I'll re-visit some of the other quality Pho joints in the area. #PhoChar

    Smoothie menu

    The place is kinda dark but the food is good. Large pho is huge. The soup is nice hot and not too salty, perfect for hot weather. This place also has an extensive menu of smoothie and blended drinks made from fresh fruits. The summer rolls were nice and fresh. The menu is limited to pho, fried rice and rice with grilled meat. We I wish they also serve sandwiches and vermicelli. Regardless, we are fans of their pho.

    Their pho was good. Decent pho. Flavorful. If I ever want pho ill definitely swing by. They have a lot of healthy smoothie choice.

    Pho 1. Combination Pho

    Amazing pho! I ordered the combination pho regular size! It was perfect and not to salty.

    It''s just average for me. If you been exposed to authentic pho or Vietnamese cuisine.This place is not for you. The Pho's broth is way too sweet for my taste. The summer roll is fresh but the peanut sauce just basically a thin peanut butter .The place is small and cute design but so laud .The cook keep yelling in Chinese the whole time we are dinning in there.May be it's part of the ambience. The server is not talking at all. Until payment time she asked if we ready to pay. You get your own silverware from the cashier.not coming back because we have a better place to eat in this area too.

    Stumbled upon SBS through a friend wanting to try a new place …read more.. And let's say we were not disappointed, tucked away in a shopping is a gem of place, walking into this place was presently surprised with the clean and modern vibe which is awesome So good job ! Now food ... Oh damn all of it was fresh ingredients and packed full of flavor. Homemade Nem Noung Coung was delicious and the dipping sauce for it was onpoint ... it had a nice peppery flavor to it which was a pleasant surprise and did well . The coriander chicken salad was fresh and on point .. fresh herbs makes the dish. Bo ne was full of tender cubes of steak and fresh pate so good .. Scallion noodles and lobster delicious ! Service was on point and very attentive aswell.. Definitely would recommend this place and come back when I'm in town!

Nothing exceptional but good quality, good food And a fair amount of steak in mine for $16. I wish I could say the same about the service or lack there of provided by the two young female servers. For starters, they have zero communication skills. They drop things at the table and just stand there without a word. I did not receive the Vietnamese coffee that I ordered until I asked for it nor was I asked whether or not I wanted it with whipped cream - there's was no description on the menu so I wasn't aware it came with whipped cream. When we placed our order we asked for extra cilantro and received no cilantro at all. Once the runner delivered our food no one came over to ask how everything had turned out, if we needed anything else etc. The lack of communication, lack of attention to detail and quite frankly complete lack of personality turned a pleasant afternoon meal into a disappointment. It's a shame because I saw several other things on the menu that I'd like to try but I'm not interested in being in that unpleasant atmosphere again

I know - because I asked the restaurant staff when I recently visited in person for some Pho. Why is this important? Because, for some reason - the previous business listing under the "Viet Flavor" name - was simply updated/changed on Yelp to "Pho Banh MI 89" - and of course this keeps all the reviews that were under the the Viet Flavor name. What should have occurred - is that the Viet Flavor business listing is "Closed," and a new business listing created for "Pho Banh MI 89." Until that happens - I have no way to post a review except for here. I visited recently to sample the Pho Ga. The Pho Ga was expensive - I paid around $17 and change for a bowl - seemed a little high. I also ordered the Summer Rolls - which were pretty standard quality-wise. The Pho Ga chicken broth is a bit light for my palate. I'd like to see more depth of flavor and complexity to the chicken broth. As usual, after tasting the broth - I added all the accoutrements: Fresh Basil, lime juice, Jalapeños, and Bean Sprouts. Noodles were not clumped; broth was steaming. Decent bowl of Pho Ga - but not outstanding. The inside of the place was totally gutted during the transition to the new business. Bright, clean, lots of seating. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #PhoBanhMI89

Deep, rich, and layered with flavor, it had that slow-simmered warmth that makes you appreciate a well-made bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Every sip felt like comfort in a spoon. The beef was tender, the noodles had the right bite, and the overall execution was solid. Service? Friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself? Clean and well-kept. No complaints on that front. Now, for the one thing that threw me off--the ambiance. Sitting in a Vietnamese restaurant, fully ready to embrace the experience, I found myself listening to Hispanic music and watching Spanish TV. It wasn't blaring or disruptive, but it definitely took away from the immersion. I get that the area has a strong Hispanic presence, and I respect that, but when I'm diving into a bowl of pho, I want the setting to match the dish. Maybe that's just me, but it felt a little off-brand. Would I come back? Absolutely--for the food. The pho alone is worth the visit. But if I had a choice between this and a spot that fully embraces the cultural experience, I'd probably lean toward the latter.
