They close at 7 pm (right during dinner time). Unfriendly and very odd. We were about to walk in only to have the door shut in our face. We were in the area and had hoped to get pho takeout for dinner. We were not even trying to dine in. Nope. Not possible. Which restaurant closes at 7 pm on a Thursday night?

Fried spring rolls

Ordered the pho with steak and tendon plus an extra side of tendon, and they did not hold back -- super generous portion! The broth was clean and flavorful, the steak was tender, and the tendon had that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. Also grabbed the crispy pork spring rolls -- golden, crunchy, and delicious with the fish sauce. Service was quick and friendly, and prices are really fair for how much food you get. If you're a tendon fan, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back for the pho and to try their Vietnamese iced coffee next time.

Ambiance: (5/5) Great building with parking right outside. Price: (4/5) The pho is a little more expensive than others in the area. Food: (5/5) The pho broth is so complex. It has great flavors even without any additional sauces. Best pho I've had in this area. Service: (5/5) Food comes out quick and staff is very nice.

My parents and I stopped by for dinner this past Friday evening. FYI, they close pretty early at 7 PM. 19. PHO TAI NAM GAU GAN SACH (L) - 14.95 This pho comes with eye round steak, flank, tendon and tripe. Upon first sip, the broth was well-seasoned but doesn't contain a rich or deep ox-bone flavor. As I continued to drink the broth while eating the noodles and meat, I found that the broth was getting unpleasantly salty. I was also reaching for my cup of water after every bite. My parents' broth wasn't as salty so it's definitely somewhat inconsistent? The meat quality here is quite good and they give you a fair amount. The noodles were perfect in texture. The servers here were nice and we were in and out the door within 25 minutes. Great for a quick meal, but hopefully the pho broth isn't as salty next time.

A lot of options with good taste and no msg aftertaste. The service was lacking where you have to flag them for your water refills even though they're not busy and they're kinda just sitting there, staring at you. Also had to flag staff for toilet paper as the restroom was completely out. Kid-friendly location. Prices were high for the ambiance (or l

Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but the food was really good and service was super fast! Would definitely stop by if Im in the area again.

Vermicelli with grilled pork
Scott W.

This is a non-descript place with ok food. If you want to eat and aren't looking for "wow" then this place is fine. For me, the flavor just wasn't there. There's free parking and the staff is friendly enough. The setting was clean and comfortable and I think the customer base is folks looking to eat. My vermicelli with grilled pork had a lot of meat, but the meat was tough and had no flavor. I found that disappointing. My wife's pork chop was so so.

Beef noodle pho
Rachel K.

My boyfriend and I have been on a journey to find the best pho place within 10 minutes of us. So far this spot takes the cake out of the 5 places we've been. The broth is delicious and is what deserves the 5 stars. We also had a vermicelli noodle bowl and the summer rolls. All equally yummy!! I'll 100% be back.

Pho

Crowded, not super clean, service is poor, however.... Best Pho in the NOVA area. Broth is great and hot, meat is tasty and plentiful, noodles are great with a good chew and flavor. Salt level is good.

I ordered the vegetarian pho with veggies and tufo. The broth was very bland and the tofu was nothing to rave about.

Their fish sauce is delicious
Lor B.

How could I have missed this awesome pho shop? Broth is delicious, meats are high quality, noodle dishes are A+, rice dishes are craymazing. Finally introduced friends to this place, all.were impressed with the quality and flavor. Noodle and rice dishes are pretty hefty - I think they're large enough to split between two people. Prices are reasonable for the area, and seriously, the food is really good!

Nue was the fine dining recommendation, and I have to say it was a great introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. As far as parking, there is a garage within walking distance of the stores and restaurants, so parking was pretty convenient. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed. It was dimly lit, spacious, and had a really nice atmosphere. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered some great suggestions, which was especially helpful since I wasn't very familiar with Vietnamese food. The menu was pretty expansive, and I have to say some of the cocktail descriptions immediately caught my attention. I tried the Lychee Sunset Fizz, made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila, lychee liqueur and lychee, calamansi, yuzu and grenadine. I tend to go for sweeter drinks so this was a nice balance. For food, the Seafood Chả Giò was one of my favorites. It had wild Gulf shrimp, lump crab, Berkshire pork, taro, carrots and fresh herbs. It definitely seems to be one of their headlining items because it was something I noticed quite a few people ordering, and I can see why. But my absolute favorite was the Snow Crab Fried Rice. It had hand-pulled snow crab, shrimp, shallots, eggs and oyster mushrooms, and it was so flavorful and filling. Honestly, I regretted not ordering another portion to take home because I would have happily eaten it again later. All in all, I would definitely return to Nue to try some of the other items on the menu. I'm definitely not finished with my Vietnamese food journey yet, but this was a really great stop along the way. If the Snow Crab Fried Rice is any indication of what's still waiting for me on the menu, I have plenty more to explore.

Hoang Viet Restaurant can be hard to spot, as it's inside one of the little indoor shopping complexes in the corner of the broader Eden Center complex, right across the street from Happy Lamb Hot Pot. However, if you are lucky enough to find this shop, prepare to be wowed with some of the best and most authentic Hue cooking in the DMV. This no-frills restaurant centers on Central / Northern Vietnam, with a particular focus on Bun Bo Hue, a super flavorful spicy beef and pork noodle soup with a rich, spicy broth and tons of mix-ins. I'm still dreaming about their bun rieu, a beautiful crab and shrimp noodle soup that comes with a generous helping of chewy rice noodles, tender and juicy shrimp, and a deeply flavorful, slightly spicy, and slightly sour and tangy broth made with tomatoes and crab. It comes topped with fresh scallions and green onions, as well as a few fried onions for a bit of crunch. The service is efficient and friendly, and the food comes out incredibly quickly. When you're done eating, you can walk up to the cashier to pay.

Everything we've had has been consistently delicious. One of the best things is that they also offer traditional Vietnamese dishes that aren't necessarily on the regular menu, so definitely ask what else is available! It's a smaller, relatively quiet restaurant and a great place to eat family-style and share dishes. They can accommodate larger groups, but because of the size of the restaurant, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation. The service is always friendly and fast, and we've had a great experience every time. One of our favorite spots and a place we keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

I really liked the star of anise flavor in their pho soup broth. I loved the eye of round steak, but I did feel they could have been more generous with the meat portion size. The noodles portion was very large and tasty. We ordered extra broth and that turned out to be a good idea. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls that were delicious! The shrimp were huge and tasty. They put sriracha sauce in their peanut sauce, but it wasn't too spicy. Service was very good. The restaurant decor is bright and bold with black lacquer furniture. I would definitely go back for more Pho.

Service was super weird - I intentionally say weird because I never expect good service at an asian restaurant like that just isn't a thing. Its the fact the server was trying to rush our order in pressing us if we are ready when he literally JUST dropped the menus off. How would we know what we want when we didn't see a menu? Came on a Saturday afternoon and they were out of most things. No pork, no wontons, like how? These are staple things here but okay. We ordered the combo pho, the duck cotnfiet with egg noodles, the kids pho, and cha gio. Never had such a bland cha gio in my life where all it had was pork and taro? No carrots or mushrooms or seasoning? Pho was seriously skimping on portions and the flavor was bland. My duck was pretty good but we won't be back.

Delicious Vietnamese Food, Beautiful Atmosphere, and Outstanding Service!…read more Three of us visited Present Restaurant, and we all had a wonderful dining experience! We ordered bánh canh (Vietnamese thick noodle soup), bún bò (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), and chicken curry. All three dishes were delicious, and everyone was happy with their meal. What really stood out was the restaurant itself. The dining area is spacious, the decor is beautiful, and the service was outstanding. It's clear that a lot of care goes into creating a welcoming dining experience. The restaurant has been in business for over 20 years, which is impressive! The prices are a little higher than we'd prefer, but considering the delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service, we felt it was worth it. One small suggestion for improvement: The name "Present Restaurant" doesn't immediately tell people that this is a Vietnamese restaurant. If I had searched Google on my own specifically for Vietnamese food, I might have overlooked it because the name doesn't clearly indicate the cuisine. Highlighting its Vietnamese food more prominently online could help attract more people looking for authentic Vietnamese dishes. Overall, we were very happy with our visit. Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, and fantastic service made this a five-star experience for us. We would happily recommend it to others looking for Vietnamese food in Falls Church!

I'd recommend looking at some of the less popular items or asking the servers for recommendations. The staff is friendly but also casual, and it's clean enough that I have had no issues with it. My personal recommendation: the bun cha Han Noi - it's a cold rice noodle dish with chargrilled pork and meatballs with a mountain of vegetables. The fish sauce is actually sweet and good as a "starter" for Western taste buds because it's less funky than other types. I'd stay away from the coffee because it doesn't seem strong enough.

So I'm updating my review because it's well deserved! I have started ordering from Hai Duong through Uber Eats again in the last year and so much improvement! The food arrives fast, hot, and with very generous portions. They are definitely not stingy like I had experienced in the past. I love it when businesses take feedback to be better. In the last year, we usually order the Mi Nam Vang and Mi Bo Kho, and both are consistently excellent. This past weekend, we finally decided to eat at the restaurant in person at Eden Center, and it was just as good as when we order delivery. The guy seating people was very polite and friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Bun Mam and Mi Nam Vang, and both were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and came out super hot, which I love. There are plenty of condiments on the table if needed, but honestly the broth is so flavorful that you do not really need them. They also give a great portion of protein, which I really appreciate. The place was packed and clearly very popular, and I can see why. I will definitely continue to support Hai Duong and hope they get even more business. And I appreciate that they got so much better compared to during COVID times, Great work, Hai Duong!
