    Cafe with condensed milk and fresh squeezed lime aid.
    Christian S.

    The phó is phenomenal here. My wife gets the vegetarian, and I got the chicken. Both are perfectly flavored as you would get it in Vietnam. Note that some restaurants in the area put in tons of msg/salt, and this restaurant does not do that. Also, I have had the Vietnamese iced coffee here, and is is also spot on... with the hints of chocolate from the robusto coffee you would expect. I highly recommend. And, adding in deets from my wife, the Chay (veggie) version she feels is the best in the DMV area. The number 2 would be Pho 75 Rockville MD and then Mi La Cay in Wheaton MD. So they clearly recommend this for veggie soup as well. This time we are also trying the garden/summer rolls. They are also quite good. Up there with the best... but I can't pick one as better than another between Mi La Cay or Pho 85. So if you want the real deal, come here.

    Pho Ga (chicken)

    Love the transformation from a bagel shop - clean, light, modern & welcoming space! Carried out Pho Ga (chicken) and Banh Xeo (crepe). Banh Xeo was wonderfully crispy, so much greens for wrapping - love my veggies! Sadly the pho was meh - watery, even the color was too light (being Viet, fish sauce to the rescue), though the amt of meat & noodle was generous. This is our neighborhood, so happy a Viet restaurant opened, going to stop by often!

The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping. Soup dumplings were fantastic, however. The pork definitely has its own marinade and the soup is flavorful. The dumpling skin is well constructed and complemented well with the noodle soups - especially in cold weather. tldr; solid noodle soup spot, they seem to be consistent and really hits the mark when you're in a for your noodle fix. Soup dumplings are probably a must get side dish with whatever your main is

I had the szechuan beef noodle soup - the beef was tender alongside its tasty noodles and savoury broth. The scallion pancakes were solid and crunchy.

We got 2 dishes: Lanzhou hand pulled noodles and oil spill noodles. Don't let the photos deceive you -- there is a generous amount of cubed beef in both dishes (buried beneath the noodles in some cases). I loved the chewy consistency of both noodle dishes. Only small downside is that we didn't see any free water provided, and the oil spill noodles could use a tiny bit more spiciness. Overall, would definitely make the post-snow trek out here again just for the noodles.

Kind of wild it's just hanging out here in the food court at Great Wall supermarket. There's usually always a spot to eat and the folks here are real friendly, very community, almost close knit village vibes. I literally get the Lanzhou beef noodle soup every time. My wife likes to explore their other options (win-win in my book lol) Beef noodle soup hits every. single. time. The broth is rich and hearty, just the right amount of chili oil on top, you can select your thickness of noodle (there's like 7+ types) - I always get thick - and the portions of beef are generous. The noodles are cooked just right - bouncy, has the hand pulled texture, very long. Presentation is gorgeous. Get the noodle soup here. You will not be disappointed. Other dishes are great too, the potato salad is an excellent side dish if you're feeling a little extra or perfect just as a snack if you're peckish The stir fried noodles is my wife's favorite and it reminds her a lot of home. Lots of warm flavors - cumin, bit of spicy, nice and thick sauce. It's a hearty and complete meal hitting all the macros The lanzhou liangpi was pretty good, it's a side dish but heavier than you might think - the noodles are generous and thick, lovely amount of chili sauce splashed in with fresh cucumber slices garnished on top for balance The other dish we've tried (thus far) was the triple mix noodle which is similar to the stir fried noodles but a bit lighter, without as thick of a sauce Ingredients are all super fresh, I literally dream of the noodle soup on the coldest of days tldr; get the noodle soup

The place itself is quite small for dine in, but I'm pretty sure that's not their target so we were able to get a seat for 2 pretty easily on a Friday evening. We got mostly "ABC" comfort foods - orange chicken, Yangzhou fried rice, Singapore rice noodles - and an order of their dumplings in spicy sauce (a bit surprising as it's a more northern China style compared to the rest of menu). It was definitely a bit much for just 2 of us but we intended to take home leftovers. All of it was delicious, cooked to spec, but what really makes them stand out is their superior "wok-hei"; it is the soul of wok-style dishes and compliments to the chef(s) - they absolutely know their craft and it shines in the flavor. This craftsmanship is lost in the new generation and it's a real treat to see it preserved here out of all places. Dumplings were splendid. Juicy and handmade, definitely hits that nostalgic nook from the back of your head. tldr; charming Chinese takeout spot with superb wok-hei in their dishes

Unlike other KBBQ spots, it's not AYCE. Instead, you order combos or a la carte meats, which highlights the quality of what you're getting! For our meal, we ordered a feast of the Chosun Hwaro Combo (Medium), Baekdusan bulgogi, japchae, and bibim naengmyun. The meat quality here is extremely PREMIUM and every bite was super juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! I cannot stop thinking about the Baekdusan bulgogi because it was truly a savory MEAT MOUNTAIN. Our kind server gave us a pro tip to mix the sauce with rice. That completely changed the dish for me! The sauce soaking into the rice made it unbelievably rich and satisfying. I loved that the combos come with steamed egg and soybean paste stew, which were comforting sides alongside all the grilled meat and ban chan (kimchi, radish, etc) already at the table. As for my noodle dishes, I usually never order japchae, but I did and this one ended up being the best japchae of my life. It was PACKED with so many flavorful meat and vegetable toppings. To finish the meal, we got bibim naengmyun, which is my favorite Korean cold noodle dish. It was so refreshing, chewy, and the perfect way to balance out all the grilled meats. Between the amazing high-quality meats, entrees, and thoughtful service, Chosun Hwaro was a memorable meal and definitely a spot I'd return to whenever I'm craving delicious Korean BBQ in Virginia!!
