We walked in for a table for 4 on a Tuesday eveninand was sat no problem. There was pllenty of parking. It was somewhat quiet with music at a comfortable level to still be able to have conversation and service was great and fast. We ordered 2 orders of summer rolls which were delicious and our waters were consistently refilled. I ordered a rice dish- pork chop and egg. It came with a bowl of broth which was hot and flavorful. The pork chop was a good size and while a little tough to cut with the butter knife provided, it was also very good. Would definitely recommend coming here and I plan on coming back to try the pho but the broth itself was promising! They had shrimp in the rolls but also have vegetarian options on their menu! read more

Ordered for pickup and was very good! The broth was separate it was nice to mix everything together and they gave sauces!! Food was tasty. I felt the spring rolls were missing something but still pretty good. The atmosphere of the place seemed pretty nice! read more

Pho Factory was one of the first restaurants we discovered after we moved here a few years back and we still come back occasionally. It's never crowded here and you will never have to wait for a table. In my opinion, the best dish here are what they call crispy fried squids (Muc Chien Gion), perhaps better known as calamari. The squid are coated with a pleasing (cornmeal?) batter and are touched up with bits of green onion and accompanied by a most excellent dipping sauce. This dish is really delicious and I'm wild about it. The thin-cut pork chop dish is also excellent. It comes with a fried egg, rice, salad greens and a great dipping sauce. Another great dish is the shaky beef. While the chicken pho is very good here, it does not compare to Pho 75's pho. But then again, nobody has better pho than Pho 75. Pho Factory's chicken pho comes with noodles, green onion, white/yellow onion and cilantro. You can have Pho Factory hold any of these toppings if you wish. Next time, in addition to holding the cilantro, I'm going to ask that they hold the white/yellow onion. The skinny slices aren't cooked and don't add anything to the pho. As is typical in Vietnamese restaurant, you pay at the end up at the counter. I can't wait to come back for more crispy fried squid. And those babies are what makes Pho Factory five stars for me. read more

The best pho I've had in the area! Tender meat, fresh flavor, served hot hot, and plenty of meat - not digging for it. Veggie eggrolls came out fresh hot and crisp. Service was quick too read more

I wanted to like this one better, considering all the reviews. It's really a 3.5 star pho restaurant, with really good service and a very clean atmosphere. I'm a pho snob, although this is my first pho in NoVA. The broth isn't anything special and it certainly isn't sweet or memorable. Enough Sriracha sauce can fix most problems in a broth by drowning out the taste (or lack thereof) with heat, but the meat still wasn't what I would consider tender. The best Pho place that I've found is in Maryland (Pho Real), so everything gets rated by that standard. The service was really good. The Latino server was really good at getting me a close as possible to my intended order. He's the main reason why I rated this 4 instead of 3 stars. I actually appreciated the plastic chopsticks that they gave me, as opposed to the disposable kind. I guess I'll finish by saying it was weird to me to see so few options for pho bowls from a place called Pho Factory. 2 single steak options, 1 everything meat, then chicken, then vegetable, then others... The one size bowl option was a positive. It's pretty much large bowls for everyone. So I'm good with that. read more

The price... $18-20 a bowl. Pho is a street food. This is NOT a street food price. Not worth it unfortunately. read more

Absolutely amazing food. The quality of this restaurant has never failed. The food, the service, and the cozy feeling inside makes this place 10x better. I have tried other Vietnamese places across the dmv and this place takes the cake. If you are looking for authentic, quality Vietnamese food, this is the ONLY place you should be going to. read more

Food, service remain static. Their AC has been out all summer. Not sure if they are ever going to fix it. Meanwhile they have one big fan at the back blowing some cool air to the tables. If you are not used to humid hot weather, this may feel uncomfortable to you. read more

The food here is delicious! We had the rare steak pho, crispy fried eggrolls and the shaky beef rice and all were perfect. Loved the pho. Definitely recommend trying here if you haven't been! Staff was also very friendly. read more

The pho here is good because their meat is tender and tastes fresh. However EVERY time we come in, there's always an issue. First time we came in and paid with credit card. They didn't give us a bill and only the total. They didn't tell us they charge us tip on it already (they picked the tip $$) so we tipped on top of it. When we realized that, we asked for the second tip to be refunded and they refused. Second time, they said they were closing early so we felt rushed to eat our food. Tonight, same thing. We arrived at 8pm. They told us they were closing at 8:30pm even though hours are 9pm on google, yelp, and their doors. Would like to continue coming here but the service truly sucks. read more

A really good viet place with quality ingredients and a great price too! I got the Combo Rice noodle bowl and a fried Egg roll. It came with some sauce on the side (sweet/salty/umami). They chop up the egg roll which is nice. And you get a very nice portion of food for the price! It comes with the rice noodles combo meat (chicken, beef and shrimp I think) some other veggies , fried onion , and bean sprouts. Everything tasted great! The noodles were pretty plain and I wished I had ordered some soup too but the bowl was overall super good! read more

Pho Factory is located in the small strip plaza that holds Grand Mart, and their menu offers starters, pho, rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, pan-fried noodles, fried rice, and vegetarian options. We came here for an early dinner, and we ordered: +the Vietnamese Summer Rolls - filled with shrimp, lettuce, basil, and thin noodles, wrapped in a rice paper, and served with peanut sauce; this was more noodle heavy, but it was still fresh and tasty; the peanut sauce was good, and I added sriracha to kick it up a bit +the Butter Fried Chicken Wings - marinated and butter-fried to crispiness; the hubs enjoyed these when it was freshly made; however, any leftovers didn't have the same taste +the #4 House Combination Pho - included rare steak, flank steak, and beef brisket; we opted out of the tendon, and one could request tripe to be included; as with pho, bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno slices, and lime were served; this had a good flavorful broth, and the noodles were super generous! +Grilled Shrimp vermicelli bowl - the noodles were ample, and this came with a great serving of lettuce, peanuts, bean sprouts, diced cucumbers, onions, mint, and a bowl of house special fish sauce; the shrimp were large and plentiful, but they did have a slight 'fishy' odor/taste to them; I'm thinking I may try the grilled chicken next time Staff were super friendly, kind, and welcoming. Plenty of parking, but the spaces are narrow. +great pho +friendly & kind service +parking in plaza lot read more

Everything we ordered, pho, shrimp appetizer, noodles, and tea was delicious. We will eat there again soon!

First time here. Its kind of tucked away next to the Latin grocery store. On a Monday night there were several dining. Prices have gone up from $12 to 14-16 for pho, but it was large, very tasty and a good balance of meats to noodles. Saw many take out orders. All the servers spoke Spanish, you have to just get up and pay your bill at the counter when you are done. They don't bring the check to the table. I'd definitely go again for the pho & try other items on the menu. read more

Surprised to find Pho Factory probably makes my favorite bowl of pho in the area, despite the name. Hidden away in a little corner of the plaza past the Korean BBQ place - really damn good Vietnamese food with all the staples. Pho itself: Plenty of aromatic spices, well cleaned vegetables, and plenty of meat that isn't just paper thin. It's a little on the lighter side of broths I've had, but I was surprised I could wolf it down without even trying. If you get takeout and put it in the fridge, you can see the ring of fat rise to the top - there's plenty of bones used to make this bad boi! Everything else I've had here has been solid as well, from the mi xao don/crispy egg noodles to the egg rolls/cha gio. I ended up stopping by on a whim in the area for other business, but 100% making the drive straight here every time I'm craving pho. read more

As I walked into this store with mostly filled tables, there was only 1 asian customer among all customers. He was holding a menu & looking for a server. 20 mins later, I was just like him. Yes I'm an asian. Nobody wanted to get our order. After rejected twice, we walked out of the store. Two employees on the floor didn't even ask us why we were leaving. Yeah save your time if you are an asian. This place refuse to serve us read more

menu prices and what they actually charge you is gonna be different, pho was priced at 14 on the menu but I was charged 16.50 for that, same for summer rolls for 5.50 and they charged 6.50 for that. Maybe don't have prices on the menu if they aren't what it actually costs! read more

I'm grateful I went back. The host took some of my suggestions about the customer service aspect / perspective of things and it made me feel more valued! The food is never in question. Summer rolls, Combination Pho, Fried Egg Roll, and grilled pork chop - all tasty!! As long as they are willing to improve, I'll always come back! This is the best Vietnamese food and Pho Place I've found in Northern Virginia! I highly recommend it! read more

Pho Factory used to be our go-to for Vietnamese carryout. We recently ordered 2 orders of goi cuon, lemongrass curry chicken and crispy fried tofu. The goi cuon had one halved shrimp, a little lettuce and noodles with a thick pasty peanut sauce. Both main dishes were extremely hot because they contained jalapeños, which we've never had in the past. The onions used were the outside layers making them papery and inedible. The tofu was in very large chunks and coated with something akin to breading, appeared to be precut frozen tofu and definitely weren't crispy. The vegetables accompanying the tofu were jalapeños rather than the usual green peppers and stringy onions that were already mentioned. The delicacy of both dishes failed miserably. We wound up throwing most of the expensive order away. We wondered if this restaurant is under new ownership since the experience was a significant divergence from our usual one. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Causal restaurant located in the heart of Lincolnia. Offerings span across Vietnamese cuisine from pho, rice, to crispy noodle dishes. The service was fast and efficient, however the dishes were mediocre and lacked flavor. The restaurant was slow and quiet so easy to have convo with your table. read more

I guess the management has changed but we always visit this place when we can as flavors are still unique

YUM! I have visited this place twice so far, once for takeout and once to dine in. This place is as good as it gets for pho in the Alexandria area. I feel like there is a lot of good competition out there, but this has to be one of the best. The bad: Parking is rough! We stopped by on a Friday around 8 PM and the parking was all taken. We ended up parking near the grocery market nearby. I also ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee which was okay. The good: I ordered the seafood pho, which was super tasty. The broth was very savory and I loved how much variety of seafood that was in my soup. I also ordered the taro smoothie that was really good but this took awhile to come out, I got it towards the end of my meal. All in all, Pho Factory is a great spot to hit up if you are craving good pho, make sure to try the seafood pho! read more

The food is just okay. The summer rolls were a bit disappointing. The rice paper was really chewy and could have used one or two more ingredients to give it more flavor. The shrimp vermicelli was pretty good to eat on a hot summer day if you don't want to eat pho. Lots of fresh vegetables and the noodle to vegetable to shrimp ratio was perfect! Service was great! read more

We have another winner for Pho in Alexandria! This place is awesome, don't let the exterior and location scare you away. It's located in a very busy shopping area with restaurants and other businesses around. Parking can be a little difficult to find during rush hour but luckily around 6pm we got a spot right in front of the restaurant. The servers are very friendly and the inside of the restaurant was clean. Okay let's get down to the PHO.. I decided to order summer rolls as usual and they never seem to disappoint me. The thing about their summer rolls compared to offer places was the shrimp was actually warm and I enjoyed that. Warm shrimp with peanut sauce is sooo yummy. House Combination Pho- I decided to get the house combo without the tendon because homie don't eat that! I judge my pho by the broth before I add all my fixin's inside. The broth was very clean and not oily like other places. That was a big WHOA because it was such a pleasant tasting broth. The rare steak wasn't fatty either which is a big plus and the brisket was soft and tender. I really enjoy their pho and I'll definitely be back again. If you're ever feeling Pho and you're in the Alexandria area be sure to give this restaurant a try. read more

Fantastic pho. Absolutely recommend and would return! Huge portions. Friends tried the combo fried noodle plate (shrimp, chicken, beef) and house combo pho and spring rolls. They loved it.

I've been here several times, both sit down (pre- pandemic) and to-go. This is the best pho that I've had, in or near DC!! If you're like me and you're ordering pho to go, order extra noodles and then you can have 2 meals! read more

Called in my order ahead of time from the menu shown online which were posted photos. The fresh spring roll showed as $4.95 and the Pho house combo as $9.75. I asked for extra peanut sauce for the roll. When I arrived my order was ready so I went to check out and found that instead of being $16.10 my order cost $23.50. Turns out the prices shown on yelp were way ooff, especially the pho($16.00) instead of $9.95. That's a huge difference, while the roll was $5.50 instead of $4.95. The guy taking my payment just shrug it off and offered no apology or remedy. While the food was decent I won't be going back anytime soon until the sting of misrepresenting the coat wears off. read more

Pho should all be about the broth - it should taste like it has been stewing away for hours, enriched with tons of spices and nutrients to achieve that ultimate simple pho-taste. Pho Factory achieves just that. The broth in all of their phos have depth and taste. The meat and toppings are just extra. We also ordered the sticky wings and tofu which were just as delicious but for the best pho in Nova? Pho Factory is the place to be. Also great service, contact-less menus, clean with tons of space between you and guests. read more
