I learned about Pho VietFresh from a Yelp newsletter. When I noticed that they were located in the…read moreFranklin Farms shopping center, we decided to give them a try. We were here on a Sunday around 4 p.m. At that time of day, it wasn't very busy. Both of us ordered pho. I had pho ga with white meat chicken. My husband got pho with shrimp. The servings were huge! We were impressed with how generous they were with the aromatics. We both liked what we ordered. The place is roomy. When we entered, we were told to pick a table, and we chose a 4-top. The decor is simple -- paintings of outdoor spaces. There was also a crucifix on one wall. If you need a fork for the pho, please ask for one. The staff was efficient and polite. When it's time to pay, you have to go to the bar area where your purchase gets rung up.

Indeed, most of the Vietnamese clientele in the small restaurant seemed to be enjoying hot bowls of bun bo hue, so I went with a bowl of that and my non-beef-eating wife chose the bun rieu. The bun bo hue possessed a clean yet very flavorful broth with notes of lemongrass and hot chili. The meat portions included generous slices of beef shank, pork trotter, blood cake, and pork sausage. Some of the beef shank cuts were a little tough, but the meats otherwise tasted up to par. The accoutrement of herbs and veggies included some authentic, hard to find garnishes such as banana blossom and Vietnamese coriander, which added a fresh, crunchy bite to complement the heady soup. Overall, this was an excellent bun bo hue and rivals many you can get at Eden Center. Similarly, my wife's bun rieu was superb. The broth had a light body but a very distinct and savory shellfish flavor. The crab and shrimp paste had a very silky texture and the bouncy fried tofu cubes soaked up the tomatoey broth perfectly. The bun rieu ran just a touch salty overall, but nonetheless is among the better renditions we have tasted in the area. Our bowls were about $18 each. While a bit steep, the portions satisfied and the quality of ingredients merited the cost. As the name alludes, bubble tea is also served here. My wife enjoyed a solid taro milk tea along with her noodle soup. We have gotten drinks from here in the past and find the offerings above average though, unlike the awesome soups, not necessarily worthy of a dedicated stop. Teabreak also serves other Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi and meats over broken rice, which actually looked quite appetizing coming out of the kitchen. I give this place a solid 4 stars for really tasty, specialty noodle soups and can easily foresee a five star upgrade in the near future after sampling some more dishes.

As soon as I walked in I noticed the place was empty, except for one couple. Probably the first sign to walk out of there. There was one person standing behind the counter, he was nice but not the best customer service. I had to ask him for a menu (instead of him offering). They don't have the full menu displayed on the wall, as most of the tea places do. The prices did go up (which was expected), so the milk teas were starting at $5.00. I ordered a Thai milk tea with boba, "very" less ice and 25% sweet. The tea tasted as if it was sitting around for a long time, more than half the cup was ice and it was painfully sweet. I couldn't even finish the drink and it made me not want to ever drink Thai milk tea again!! The only good thing about the drink was the boba was perfect, although there was just too much (in addition to the amount of ice. Would I come here again? No, probably not. Would I recommend it? No, probably not. There are just so many of these shops in the surrounding area/cities that are newer and seem to have fresher ingredients. It is located next to a nightclub(??), so I would imagine that maybe a boba tea would be refreshing after a night of dancing.

The bread was everything a traditional Vietnamese baguette should be - light and airy on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and pleasantly chewy. The matcha drinks were equally impressive.

We also loved the restaurant's modern, clean, and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a family outing. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back!

They have all the classic cuts of meat that you would expect at a Korean bbq restaurant in high quality and a plus is special cuts of meats that you wouldn't be able get at an average Korean bbq restaurant. Carefully seasoned meat like jumulleok (주물럭) and galbi was perfectly marinated and cook just right, it melts in your mouth. Meat was tender, juicy and rich. Is a must try! I usually don't like pork belly because some have the gamey smell and taste, but Gogi 92 pork belly tasted clean and nutty buttery. They have different types of wagyu meat. I very much enjoyed their picanha wagyu and their Australian wagyu. It paired so well with their pickled Perilla leaves and wasabi. All the meats we got were perfectly cooked and placed on a plate for us to enjoy. And cannot forget about their side dishes. I've been to too many Korean bbq restaurants that serves mediocre side dishes. Gogi 92 serves homemade side dishes that makes you feel like you are eating in Korea. You can tell that they have put a lot of thought into creating each dishes. Under new management, new improvements, and lots of delicious upgrades!

That should tell you something right there. THIS REVIEW IS FOR A LUNCH TO-GO CARRY OUT ORDER FOR 1 (ME!) - while it's not posted on their website, I called and found out they DO have a lunch specials menu. I ordered the Panang Curry Chicken. Lunch specials come with rice and 2 spring rolls. $15 which for what you get and the large entree portion size is super good value - ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS OF OUTRAGEOUSLY SKY HIGH PRICES FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING DINING OUT! I even had leftovers and made a second meal out of it. Can't beat that for value. I posted pics of my lunch order so check those out. I think you'll agree that for $15, it's a good deal. And the curry and spring rolls were DELICIOUS. JUST LIKE I REPORTED 3 YEARS AGO! Really good quality sliced white meat chicken, thick but not too thick (and definitely not too watery which I hate!) curry sauce that was superrrrr flavorful. I mean spoon the extra sauce over rice and you're good to go! Don't waste even a drop of it lol. It's liquid gold. The spring rolls were deeeeelicious. Super piping hot out of the deep fryer and the tightest rolled rolls I've ever seen and bitten into. JUST LIKE 3 YEARS AGO. Da BOMB. The restaurant is located in the Worldgate Shopping Center in Herndon off Elden. Super convenient. The inside is super cute, cozy and clean JUST LIKE 3 YEARS AGO. There were a good number of people eating in. Staff was super friendly. And what I love about this place is, if you're picking up carry out, there's a row of 20 min parking spaces close to the restaurant for quick in and out. If you're looking for an amazing value and a delicious lunch meal with a quick, no hassle in and out, Nan Thai is it! Definitely HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I'll be back to order other lunch special dishes for sure!
