3.5 Stars On a weekday lunch, this place was relatively quiet. The place is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. The staff were polite. The service was relatively quick and the pricing was moderate. So why the downgraded rating? I was craving a bowl of piping hot bowl of pho (cold day + recovering from a cold = in need of my go-to cure-all). I def got a piping hot bowl of pho, but the limes (on the side) were dry/old, the noodles and meat a tad overdone, and the broth was ok...a bit on the bland (too much msg) side. This place serves up a decent bowl of pho (for those that don't know authentic vs westernized), but maybe not decent enough for me to warrant coming back. read more

I'm so thankful that there is a pho place that's close to my home. I'm picky with my pho but after reading several good reviews, I decided to give this place a shot. The restaurant is clean and spacious inside and we were immediately seated and given menus. What I really like about this restaurant is that they give you a pitcher of water to refill your cup. Sounds kinda silly, but a lot of pho restaurants that I've been to give you a glass a water and never bother coming back to refill it. I ordered a small B87 which came with well-done brisket and uncooked eye of round (but I usually opt out of the uncooked meat and only get brisket). After placing our order, our server brought out the plate of garnishes (jalapeños, limes, bean sprouts, and basil) and then shortly after, brought our pho. The aroma of the pho was amazing on its own. The broth was very flavorful and delicious. The brisket was very tender and there were no fatty parts on it (which I really hate). Overall, great place highly recommend! read more

One of my favourite places to get Bun Bo Hue! Awesome food but service could be better. Food was amazing. Had the Curry Roti to start then the Bun Bo Hue. The only thing that bothered me was how they brought us our food one by one. I got my food first then the next order came five minutes after mine etc.. would've been better if we were served our food at the same time. Server only checked on us once. We wanted to get dessert but got handed the check before we could even ask for the dessert menu. Not really a big deal. Just need to improve on service. Will be back soon! read more

Pho Chateau - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

Pho Chateau is delicious! It's in a large plaza next to the DMV, so parking can be limited but walking a few steps extra is definitely worth it. We arrived during the lunch special time window which lasts until 4pm and had a large vegetarian pho, vegetarian summer rolls (they gave us an extra one on the house!), a small beef meatball pho, and a Vietnamese iced coffee to go. Trying the broth before digging in or adding sauce is the key to understanding delicious pho and let me tell you, Pho Chateau has got it down. Both the vegetarian and beef broth were rich and flavorful while still light and delicate so you know it was painstakingly simmered for hours with real ingredients--none of that concentrate or powder nonsense! The vegetarian pho was so flavorful you'd think there was meat in it but it was a spectacular mix of silky rice noodle, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, green onions, parsley, thinly sliced white onion, in the rich umami broth. Service is top notch, very friendly and attentive wait staff and great lunch time atmosphere, highly recommend! read more

We Ate lunch (to go), today and I would say the food is awesome. The yellow wings that I ordered were on point, and my wife loved them too. Also, the spring roll combination was good along with the noodles my son ate. My wife said the Rice Platter Special was great. I think the noodles were the highlight of the entire meal. The crispyness of the spring roll was one the of best I have ever had (I've eaten a lot of Pho, trust me since middle school). I will definitely go back (as a regular), as they are just a short trip away. Thanks again. read more

Pho Chateau has been a regular spot for my husband and I for the past two years. We order the same thing every single time. Always start with the crispy spring rolls, and then we, of course, order PHO! Shrimp pho for me and beef pho for my husband. Also, if you have a love a good thai iced tea. Pho Chateau has a good one! So good I stop by and grab one on the go (perks of living close). Definitely recommend this spot. ALWAYS! read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant around! The vermicelli is to die for, it's my first choice when eating out!

Really enjoyed this place! The food is great, the staff is friendly, nice place to grab take out or sit and have a meal.

Really great beef Pho! Summer tools were amazing too. Nice restaurant. Will definitely be back.

AMAZING, the food is great, ambiance is great and fantastic service! THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!

This place has the best pho ever !! I've been to so many others before and nothing compares and when I go to another one now, doesn't even come close. Crispy spring rolls are also the best and the Banh mi is super tasty. The pho broth is just sooo tasty that you barely need any other toppings. A plus is that the staff is very friendly and attentive plus the place is always super clean. read more

Pho Chateau - Well done brisket pho and a Chicken Banh Mi sandwich...so good!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

Absolutely delicious! I love coming here for the crispy spring rolls and brisket pho :) definitely give it a try if you're in the area!

My go-to pho place. 5 min from my home and always good. (Actually I think, once, I ordered a bubble tea that came with unsatisfactory bubbles. But the place is called Pho Chateau, not Bubble Tea Chateau, for a reason.) This is my second time here this week (hold your judgements). First time I got a small B86. Today I came with a vengeance and ordered a large B87 pho. Both were delicious. I love this place because I know I'll always walk out satisfied. They just reopened indoor dining, but also have carry out. They have more than pho -- their menu features rice dishes, traditional ban mhi sandwiches, other types of soup and more. The service is quick and courteous. Love bringing my patronage to a local family's business. I'll be back probably next week. read more

I visit this pho location frequently. Always good service and always good food! Definitely one of my favorites!

Coming back from dropping our son off to college we decided to grab a bite. We just so happen to find this gem in Lorton Va. I was amazed on the chef's daring selection to incorporate Vietnam with India to create this Far East fusion experience. I started off with the following: Chateau Roti Curry - pan seared flat bread served with chicken curry as dipping sauce Fresh Summer Rolls Volkayno Wings - crispy wings coated with simmered sweet and extremely Spicy habanero sauce Grilled beef on Vermicelli Seafood Pho - assorted seafood in beef broth or lean vegetable broth The staff is very friendly and this place us Army Inspection ready. Good enough for this Old Grill Sergeant to pass. read more

Their Bo Kho has ruined me. I can't have it from anywhere else but here! Such deep and rich flavor that I haven't found anywhere else.

What a delicious surprise!!! I was at the dreaded DMV for what seemed to be forever and so hungry. I was looking at my yelp app to see what was around me and I found Pho. I was so excited to come here. I walked in and got greeted in a very friendly manner. The waiter was very pleasant and his recommendations were right on. I ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee it was excellent. Then I ordered what he recommended it was B86 the meat was excellent the pho was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service was perfect. I can't wait to come back here!!!! read more

I have gone here twice so far (within a week). The first time the beef pho broth was very flavorful. My aunt has the vegetarian broth and also said her broth was better than other vegetarian pho she had tried in NOVA. However, the second time we went there, we noticed that both our broths lacked seasoning. Both times, the small pho bowl had a lot of toppings and noodles - they do not skimp out like some places. The spring rolls are very good. I got the pork spring rolls and instead of using the typical thin wrappers, they used rice paper. It made the egg rolls crispier! My aunt liked the vegetarian egg rolls as well. I would rate this place a 4.5/5, but since there are no half stars, I gave it a five. read more

Worst experience ever.........I have been coming here for a year but after tonight I will never step foot in this place again. I ordered summer rolls tonight and finished the first one then started eating the 2nd and felt something weird and look what i pull out between my teeth......it took everything in my power to keep my cool in this place because If it was my child or wife it would be a different story.......don't trust this place nor give your money to this dirty and shady business. read more

Best pho is in the area hands down! Always hot and refreshing! Always stop here when I'm passing by the area! Highly recommend!

Really terrific food. Pho is on point. Vermicelli bowls are terrific. They have some of the additional dishes that aren't on every pho joint menu such as banh mi (grilled pork, beef, chicken or tofu sandwiches), bo kho (beef stew), Bún Bò Huế (spicy beef stew). I usually don't care for fried rice at Vietnamese restaurants, but really like theirs. Great family operation. Service is outstanding. Food quality is outstanding. I always do pick up because I'm just outside their delivery zone... but it's good enough that I drive ~10 miles to get there - passing 3-4 other pretty good Vietnamese places in the process. read more

My first visit here and I'm very impressed. Pho is a favorite of mine. The flavor is just right. The iced coffee is not overly sweet like other places. The service was perfect with a friendly smile. The whole place, including the bathroom was very clean. I will plan another visit next week. If the visit goes as well as this visit, Pho Chateau will become my new favorite Pho spot. read more

Very nice restaurant and very well designed I got the B86 ,which is two types of beef (I forgot), to go and it's pretty much a "build your own" the set everything separated and there's a container with the broth, you just have to put them all together. I also go the mango smoothie boba and it's pretty good but a little too sweet. Ive always seem it when going to gunston plaza and I'm glad I finally tried it's sooooo good !! read more

We love Pho, and Pho Chateau has been a consistently great Pho restaurant for us. Great food and service.

I promised the owner I would give this place another chance so I did. We now come here all the time. The GF gets the vegetarian Pho with tofu on the side. She doesn't like tofu so I get to eat it! We always get the fried vegetarian spring rolls. I'm sure you can get it with meat. I always get traditional combination Pho. It's full of diced up pieces of animals just the way I like it. They have definitely stepped their game up with the freshness and taste of their food. A Pho joint next to my house which tastes great. Woohoo! I haven't reordered any bubble tea but I was promised if I ever do I get double the circle yummy things since I was given just tea last time. Love this place! read more

So sad I couldn't post pics; that is how good the good is. Pho is out of this world good; excellent carry-out option with everything on the side with the broth. Bánh Mí sandwich has a perfect crunch factor for it; tried it with the beef and was in love with it. Not spicy whatsoever, greatly seasoned beef. Once again, it was so good I didn't have time to stop and take a pic; highly recommended read more

I never get tired of crispy rolls and the seafood pho. Ive been going for 6 years and they never disappoint!

Food was very good, but the service was just ok. Food came fast but then waiter never came back to our table the entire meal and had to wait for a while to get their attention even after we had finished and needed the check. And they weren't even busy. read more

Came in for lunch. Employees were very friendly and helpful. Pricing is fair. We ordered sizzling beef, rice platter, and roti curry. Food was wonderful. Will come back for sure. read more

Honestly, I love coming here for their delicious Pho and crunchy egg rolls. Their Pho is very savory from their broth to their meat. Hands down one of the best Pho in the norther VA. Come and try it yourself. Their menu has an abundant of traditional dishes with the freshest ingredients. Even their bubba tea is made with REAL fruit. Not the powder stuff other places make it. Their coffee is not too sweet which satisfy my taste buds. What Vietnamese restaurant you know that offer dessert, especially creme brulee? Forget the slices of organge, i am going for the real deal. I had the pleasure of trying their La-Laguna, signature dessert, and it made my top dessert list and for someone who doesn't eat sweets. If you like Thai sticky rice and mango, you will definitely love this dessert more because not only its soo good but healthy. You read that right. My servers were always attentive and made sure my food came out as quickly as possible. Disregard the other reviews crapping on the service. Come on people, they just opened, of course there will be some technical mishaps. Don't be discourage by the other reviews when they are just complaining about everything. You can see there are more 4-5 stars on here. The one star reviewers were too quick to judge. Reasonable prices, great flavor and offer vegetarian options. A restaurant for everyone. read more

Very good pho. What makes it even better is the lemongrass chili paste at the restaurant. Forget the standard Sriracha and hoisin sauce combo. Get a few sips of the delicious broth, put a spoonful of that lemongrass chili paste in there, and savor a bit of pho heaven. read more

The chef was working the front and the back today and he was so friendly and his food was great as well! Servers at the restaurant are also very attentive and friendly as well. Most importantly, the food is great! Good pho, vermicelli, and rice dishes, but my favorite dish is the appetizer called Chateau Roti Curry. It's a curry dip and it is just the best and special part of the Pho Chateau. Recommend this place for sure! read more

This is by far the BEST spot for Pho! Delish! The broth alone is so tasting food is fresh and fast dining in or takeout! This is the Pho spot in Lorton! read more

Pho Chateu is my absolute favorite Pho location in the Fort Belvoir/Lorton Area. I consider this establishment to be a hidden gem. I enjoy frequenting this location, because the service is out of this world, the food is delicious and quickly prepared, and the setup is very trendy. I normally get seafood pho, Thai ice tea, and the summer rolls. Everything is delicious. The establishment also serves other food items such as teriyaki shrimp with rice and veggies. During the week, around lunchtime the place isn't packed to capacity, in which one of the servers (possibly the owner) recognizes me by face. In my opinion this is an amazing aspect that most establishments should try practicing. The prices are great in my opinion. I recommend Pho Chateu to anyone that Pho lovers and newbies! read more

Great service and a good bowl oh pho. It traveled very well and stayed hot for our 15 min drive home.

Flavourful base.....super clean and friendly service..... Group of loud high school Vietnamese kids.....they were saying how they love this place.... Good music....all in all a killer lil experience... I'd say its pretty Pho'kin good! read more

Great Phó, lovely staff. Take away is super fast. Restaurant is spacious, clean, and well lit for great ambience.

This restaurant serves the best Bun Bo Hue in the NOVA. If we want to eat Bun Bo Hue, we wouldn't go anywhere but Pho Chateau. Keep it up!

We get takeout here very frequently! Delicious food and excellent service! The shrimp vermicelli is my go to and my husband gets the chicken vermicelli. Don't forget the spring rolls! read more
