This is my go to pho spot whenever I'm in the area. I love the broth and they do an amazing job with their to go packaging as well. Whatever they do it allows the spring rolls to stay crispy and not get mushy like some other places. You also know it's a great spot since they tend to stay busy! Hoping to go back soon.

Tofu appetizer and thai tea

My favorite place to go for pho in the DMV. The broth is flavorful and they give you a generous portion of meat. Their sate sauce is one of the best I've ever had. A tip for those who visit - once you finish your meal, pay at the front instead of waiting for a server to hand you your bill.

The kids' size was perfect. I can't eat too much, and the smaller serving was great for me. I had fatty brisket and beef steak in my pho, the flavor was good and the broth great. Summer rolls were good...a little thin but good.

Saturday night 45 minutes before closing and restaurant was packed. First time trying and we thought it was pretty good pho - probably only second to Pho 75. The staff is very nice and cordial, and you can tell there are a lot of repeat/ familiar customers here. Only downside is the price - very expensive for a bowl of pho.

Round steak pho

After we ate at El Fogon, my brother and I were still hungry so we swung by to this cafe. It's located in Kingstowne area across from Giant and Le Madeleine. Theres limited of seating but manageable. My brother ordered the eye round steak and brisket pho; I ordered two items: the lemongrass beef vermicelli and eye round steak pho. They were all delicious and the proteins were tender and moist. The vermicelli bowl was refreshing and colorful. Our servers were distracted by technology and we had to wave both of them down for refills. The restaurant itself was clean. I would make another visit in the near future to try other items on their menu.

Shrimp and Pork over rice combo with egg roll. FYI: They did not have the egg as an option I had to ask.

Pho
Margarita K.

DELICIOUS food, some of the best pho we've had in a while. Although the prices are slightly higher than some other pho restaurants in the area, it is totally worth it! The portions are huge, the broth is very flavorful, and there's lots of meat in the soup. The service was very fast and friendly, and it was very clean inside the facility. I'll be looking forward to coming back here!

Where is the picture of the pho? It was too good that I couldn't take a moment to take a picture of it. Base of the soup is quite nice except i felt like they used lots of MSG. Quite busy on Sunday afternoon means this place is good. Service was prompt and I would like to come again

Pho with Thinly Sliced of Eye Round Steak
Darlene P.

Spotted this spot out the corner of my eye, so I just had to try, because I love Pho! Upon entering I noticed they had many customers, so that's always a good sign. The place is not very big, but cozy if you like to dine in. The service was good and quick, no long wait, Which was nice. The pho was quite tasty, had a nice and delicious broth and had several options on the table to spice things up! The spring rolls were also very good. I would definitely go again. If you're in the Kingstown area and would like a good tasty bite to eat, try them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Chicken Pho
Bill T.

Small establishment, however very authentic and good. Wifey and I checked this place out with total satisfaction and high recommendation.

Christi T.

Food was good. There was no wait. Ambiance nice because of mellow music. Customer service was CRAP. Was not greeted when entering. When the guy took the order, he looked annoyed the entire time. He didn't say thank you or talked to us at all. He just looked like he hated his job. The server who brought out the food was also not friendly. Com tam was mid. Like 5/10. Pho was okay. 7/10. Eggrolls 5/10.

A great reasonably priced Vietnamese restaurant, great selection of bahn-mis, including vegetarian…read moreoptions. The meat is always cooked and seasoned to perfection, and phos' broth is hearty and addicting. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. I return here all the time.

We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.

88/100 Saigon Rolls serves up Vietnamese staples in a clean,…read morespacious interior. Quick and fast service. --- I ordered lunch take out on a Saturday. It took me 15 minutes to receive my food. I ordered the (1) lemongrass chicken bahn mi and the (2) vietnamese crepes w/ meat. (1) The bahn mi was pretty standard to above average- good flavor but I wish there were more fillings. The bread was a good mix between crisp and soft. (2) I was obsessed with the Vietnamese crepes w/ meat. I really enjoyed the QQ texture of the dough, the quantity of the meat in the filling, and the flavor of it all. It definitely wasn't enough to be full, but it was so satisfying as a delicious dish. Overall, Saigon Rolls was good! The service was fast, prices seemed reasonable, and food was good.

After a few misses on King Street, we decided to give Saigon Roll a try, and we're so glad we did…read more We ordered the Beef Pho and the pork vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and fried spring rolls. Both were excellent. My vermicelli bowl was the standout--perfectly seasoned grilled pork with just the right amount of spice, fresh vegetables and herbs, crispy spring rolls, and the perfect balance of noodles and toppings. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The pho was just as good, with a rich, comforting broth and tender beef that really hit the spot. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and simple--nothing fancy, just a welcoming place that lets the food shine. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. If you're craving fresh, flavorful Vietnamese food in Old Town Alexandria, Saigon Roll is absolutely worth a stop.

I've been here several times over the years, and somehow I always forget just how good the food is…read more I've never left disappointed! On this visit, I ordered the drunken noodles, which were full of flavor and had that perfect chewy texture. I also appreciated that the noodles weren't stuck together in one big clump (if you know, you know). My friend and I shared the crab rangoon and calamari. I really enjoyed the calamari, especially the crispy breading. The crab rangoon was good, just not my favorite. My friend loved it, though! I think I prefer a different texture, as the crab filling was mostly shredded. I also ordered a cocktail. Can't remember the name, and I definitely didn't catch a buzz from it, lol, but it was refreshing! Sister Thai continues to be a solid spot that I keep coming back to. Definitely recommend!

4 stars for the food 4 stars for the ambiance…read more3 stars for the service on the water refills, which was sporadic at best. Last night I brought a couple of friends over to the Sisters Thai in Alexandria ... because I had had good experiences in the past. We were seated at our table of four, and had to wait 20 mins to be served water from the start. That was unusual - and although the restaurant was busy it was not packed, so the delay was odd. We ordered the food which was great - high recommendations for the branzino, the crispy eggplant, the roti curry and the mango & sticky rice. The water service was challenging; at one point during the meal when a server came to do a refill, she spilled the water on the table near the food dishes - apologized - but didn't clean up! (It was not a few drops - it was a sizeable amount that warranted wiping up since our group had to reach over for the food dishes in the center). She took off after right after spilling it - and didn't come back! So I eventually caught the eye of another sever and asked for the water to be wiped down. The evening went on - the meal really noteworthy ... but water was clearly becoming more and more of an issue - and this was critical especially considering that the roti curry was spicy! After yet another 20 minutes of trying to catch the eye of anyone with a pitcher I had to get up and request water from the bar area. So although the evening was pleasant it was somewhat disruptive with this lack of coordination - which is really is a basic of any establishment. I would go back again for the food - although I'm disappointed that I brought friends along to try the restaurant and the service was not as expected. As I write this I want to add that if it was a one-off with a water delay I would understand - but it was consistently overlooked, without a spillage being wiped promptly that started to create a less than satisfactory experience. Thank you in advance to the Sisters Thai for more training for their staff on enhancing the customer experience.

Pho 75 has been one of my quiet local favorites for about 10 years. My order is basically automatic…read moreat this point: #4 large with another 3 or 4 sides of meat. It comes out fast, piping hot and filling, and probably 80% of the time they absolutely knock it out of the park with the broth and meats. Every once in a while, especially when they're slammed, I'll get a faint dish-soap-like note in the bowl, but thankfully that's the exception. The biggest headache is the line. It's basically first-in, first-seated based on whatever table happens to open up, so during a rush it can feel completely unorganized. And don't be intimidated by the abrupt "what do you want?" ordering style. These guys are good people, and the cashier/manager is one of the best. I always tip here because watching the staff carry and clear those scorching bowls all day looks like some kind of iron-fist competition. They've also always been accommodating when I bring young kids, including the inevitable mess. Go with friends, but go early. Right around opening at 10 or in that lull between lunch and dinner is my move if I can manage it. This isn't the place for a leisurely dining experience; it's the place for a seriously satisfying bowl of pho, served incredibly fast. After a decade, I'm still coming back.
