It's not greasy, it's fresh; and you get a ton of food. I always get Large bowl pho#5 because I love tripe and tendon. It's lively and there's always a line no matter what time you come. So be prepared to wait a bit. They seat you pretty quick only 2 times I've come with the line out the door and I was like oh nawh I cannot. And lastly I come here bc no where else can you get the tapioca banana pudding, dessert. It is SOOOOO GOOOD omg. I always leave stuffed. And I cannot forget the Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Yaaaaa. It's the best.

After hearing praise from West Coast friends that Pho 75 in Rosslyn serves the best pho in…read moreAmerica, I returned to put that claim to the test. Ordering No. 5 (eye-round steak, flank, tendon, and tripe) alongside No. 15 (eye-round steak), I was immediately struck by the broth's appearance--remarkably clear and seemingly delicate. At first glance, I worried it might lack depth. Quite the opposite. The broth delivers impressive concentration and balance, offering clean, beef-forward flavor without heaviness. Every sip is nuanced, satisfying, and remarkably refined. The assorted meats were expertly prepared, with tender beef, silky tendon, and properly textured tripe complementing the bowl beautifully. Is it the single best pho in the country? That remains debatable. What is undeniable, however, is that Pho 75 serves an exceptionally well-executed bowl that easily ranks among the DMV's finest--and one well worth returning for.

Our meal took place on a Tuesday evening, yet the restaurant was constantly busy (though not packed to the point of having to wait for a table) with a diverse clientele, which speaks to Chay's popularity. Among the 3 of us, we split 2 mains and an appetizer, which was more than enough food. The fried calamari was nice and paired well with the spicy dipping sauce (which was actually spicy). I loved all the fresh veggies and generous amounts of peanuts and fried shallots in bún chả Hà Nội (vermicelli platter). As a saucy girlie, I REALLY liked the "fish sauce" accompanying the dish. Despite the deliciousness of those 2 dishes, the real star of the meal was thịt kho sả (lemongrass clay pot). Perfect flavoring; I almost forgot that it was vegetarian. The only downside to my experience was the service: it would have been great for a server to stop by and refill our water every once in a while.

Tea: They have the blooming tea that I love and it just makes things better. 4. Drinks: are very beautiful, they work with some top notch mixologists to come up with their unique blend, so highly recommend. 5. Service: polite, swift, truly professional 6.

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.

Today a middle-aged waitress gave me an attitude when she took our order. She looked at me several times like she was disapproving of me, although I believe I looked pleasant, well-kept, and professional. The waitress literally stared me down, with an attitude like "I'm better than you." WTF? I come here to kindly eat at your restaurant, I was dressed casual, not dressed to show off or flaunt anything that I have. If it were not for the presence of my companion I would probably have complained to the assistant manager about the waitress' rude behavior. Furthermore, a comment or two on the quality of the food. The seafood bird's nest dish had minimal portions of seafood -- four small shrimp, two small scallops, and three small pieces of squid with less-appetizing pieces of vegetables -- all for $23! Moreover, the shaky beef dish was dipped in baking soda or baking powder, making the dish tastes quite bitter.The bitter taste could hardly mask the fact that the beef cubes have been sitting around for a few days --the meat were partially rotting. Three dishes cost us $71. including tax, We left the restaurant still feeling hungry. Please, dear waitress, you don't own the place, please have better customer service, or we will unfortunately air our grievances on online reviews like this one!

Tables were clean. Ice machine broken (more on that later) and napkin dispensers at the counter needed refilling. Service- good! Employees very friendly and food came out quickly, less than 10 minutes after ordering. Food- ordered the oxtail pho, 2 pc eggrolls, and a Vietnamese coffee. Oxtail pho - rich flavorful broth, oxtail meat already separated from bone and served boneless. Noodles slightly overcooked in my opinion. Added some Vietnamese spice on the side and it added a nice kick to the soup. Eggrolls - extremely disappointing, came out and very obviously had been sitting for a long time. Lukewarm on the inside and completely cold on the outside. Caused eggrolls to be very chewy. Would not recommend. Vietnamese coffee - strong and sweet brewed in house. They come pre bottled which is fine but the real killer was the ice machine was broken so had to drink the coffee out of the bottle. Would think they would chill the bottle more strongly with the ice machine broken but unfortunately mine started barely "cold" and just got worse from there. Grand total for my order plus 4$ tip and a 1$ credit card surcharge was 38$. If the food was perfect that would still be a bit steep for the meal but bearable. However due to the execution errors I would say this is very poor value for this price. Would not recommend going out of your way to visit this place. Pho broth very good though!

The flavor did not stand out to me and it was also on the pricier side likely because it is located in Arlington. The service was good in the evening on a weekday.
