    Oxtail Pho
    David C.

    This is very much a to go (fast food) spot for Vietnamese food. If you're looking for food on the go or delivery, it's a decent spot. Otherwise, I wouldn't really go out of my way to dine in here. For one, the spacing is pretty tight, but the overall aesthetic is also kind of gloomy. Service is okay. They take your order at the counter and then bring it to you. The rest is available to grab (plastic utensils, water, etc.). This is one of the sadder phos I've ever had, so definitely encourage others to try other dishes. There is a free parking garage, but it's a pretty small one.

    We were a group of 11. All of us ordered different items .Very different Vietnamese food healthy and tasty . I liked the flavor and also Bahn Mi shrimp sandwich.Spring roll was ok.

    If your friends want to go out, but you're trying to stay on a diet, I think I would recommend that you go to Roll Play. The reason why is because you can just get a bunch of meat and summer rolls and it doesn't hurt your diet too much. While the prices are admittedly on the higher side (except for the summer and egg rolls) the flavor is good. The oxtail and American Wagyu is a bit of a buzz word dish in the sense that it just means that the meat that you're getting has a higher fat content (hence wagyu). Tapping said the meat is very tender, and it has a very mild meaty broth flavor. I honestly couldn't taste the difference between the beef brisket in my summer roll and the pulled oxtail in American Wagyu meat. The summer roll was filled with crunchy vegetables and came with a lovely spicy peanut sauce, but I would say that spicy peanut sauce was not very spicy at all. I almost thought that they just accidentally gave me regular peanut sauce. That being said, it is still a good and rich watery peanut sauce. The Vietnamese iced coffee is bold sweet and creamy, and it will make you have to use the restroom. There seems to be only one restroom, but it is well maintained. It is located off of 7 and that can be a little bit stressful because traffic is there is unrelenting and getting out is kind of annoying. However, there's a good amount of parking on off days a.k.a. a rainy Sunday.

    Omg loving the new remodel and the 90s themed song track during lunch today! It seems less urban and more modern industrial vibes now. I love that there is always something new to try on their menu too. Today I ordered the banh mi dip (which is just a extra pho broth side). I typically order a side of pho broth to do this anyways so I love that they added an option for it to be combined on the menu. I was very excited to see on Uber Eats that they had more freebies with certain order limit. I had tried their slow oats creations a couple months ago which were fun to try but hit or miss for me. Today I scored chili crunch and more chili sate to cook with! I love scoring these roll play sauces to cook with and my friends always ask me about them when they come to my house. Great advertising Very tasty food! Everyone in my party enjoyed themselves and left happy and full!

    All meat pho

    Saw a post on IG and wanted to give it a try. I was disappointed! When they brought my food out the protein rice bowl had very cold eggs and salmon. It literally felt like it was taken right out of the fridge. I asked the worker to make sure if it was supposed to be cold and she said no, she apologized and remade it again. The second time they brought me the bowl it was missing the eggs and I told them and when they brought them to me it was super cold again, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way. Once I tried the food, I do feel it definitely lacked a lot of flavor which was disappointing. I will say the brisket was super tender which was nice. The all meat pho also lacked flavor. Over all it was a great experience. I may give their wings a try in the future.

    Came in at 2 on a random Sunday and wasn't very packed. Got the Wagyu Beef Steak Pho. Thought the oxtail broth was a bit too sweet for my liking and the beef was a bit tough and dry for me. Overall, not bad for the location.

    Oxtail pho. DELICIOUS!
    Rizma W.

    You have got to try the oxtail pho. It is absolutely divine! It comes with a good portion of pulled oxtail meat, and of course all of the customary veggies. I think that some of the juices from cooking the oxtail are added to the pho broth which just gives it this incredible depth of flavor. Despite the description, it's really not spicy. There's some chili flakes in the broth but it's way more for flavor than for spice. I don't like spicy food and I would tell you if it was spicy. The service was quick and the staff were really nice. They also offer free bottled water for customers, which is also nice. Parking is a little tricky. There are limited parking spaces in the parking lot, but the garage is free. Throughout the day you can also walk through the glass doors in the parking garage: once you exit the second set of glass doors, turn right and you'll be right at the restaurant. It's easier and safer than walking along the parking lot ramp to get to the restaurant.

    Roll Play has become a preferred take-out option for Vietnamese fusion dishes. I think the kiosk self-service is great as you can choose exactly what you like, or you can order in advance. If you're not in the mood for pho, the summer rolls with pork belly or shrimp are yummy. This place has a casual and fun vibe. Be sure to ask for the Vietnamese dipping sauce if you're getting the summer rolls! The only downside is that indoor space is limited and a bit cramped (3 tables maximum) so it's much easier to do take-out. Also, parking is limited near the front of the restaurant but you can go to the garage (entrance just to the left of Roll Play) and have your ticket validated. Hope to return and try their beef or chicken pho at the restaurant during the winter months (at an off-peak time).

    Really good pho and rice bowls, with convenient kiosk ordering! Indoor seats are limited. Has indoor parking lot for retail customers.

    Chicken banh mi
    Sylvia T.

    I'm sorry the food here is so mid. The restaurant itself is cute but the food is not very authentic. For fusion it's not bad but I would appreciate more flavor and better bread for the banh mi! I also had the three desserts and they're just basic chia seed puddings. Only the mango one is good. The PBJ one is straight bad. I will say they do a crazy price deal on UberEats where you can BOGO pretty much anything and get 3 desserts for free ++

    Custom Rolls (3) glazed honey tofu
    Manu P.

    Roll Play in Northern Virginia offers a customizable, modern Vietnamese experience with standout Spicy Oxtail Pho boasting rich broth and generous meat, though it's a fusion spot, not strictly traditional; their vegan options, especially glazed tofu was a highlight of my visit. The chicken wings, loved the spicy seasoning, the rolls and customizable offering quick, tasty, fusion bites for various diets. The broth is consistently rich, flavorful, beefy, and deep even if you take the vegan broth. Recommend giving it a try. The place is small and could get full quickly. The service was very good and neat.

    Pepper steak+egg Banh Mi
    Makaylah S.

    Came by late night after a show at Wolf trap nearby, and we were floored by how good this was!! Not only are they open late but the service was quick even though they were busy. They played decent music and the food was done in ten minutes for take out. We tried the pho tacos -oxtail& chicken Summer rolls-oxtail, chicken, salmon Chicken pho Pepper steak báhn mì Everything was fresh, and the flavors were outstanding. Any time im in Tysons late this is my go to spot it never disappoints

    Are there gluten free options?

    I think so...

    What is the parking situation (knowing how congested Tyson's Corner is)?

    There's not a lot of parking right in front, but there is a parking garage to the left that they will validate parking for! Just remember to have them validate it before you leave the restaurant.

My friend and I had our orders taken quickly, and food was out within 10 minutes. PHO HAI DUONG DAC BIET - 16.95 The pho broth was more salty than it was beefy/savory. It leaned clean rather than fatty. After awhile, I got tired of the heavy sodium flavor. There was a good amount of meat, and the noodles were a good texture -- bit chewy and not soggy. Overall, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. My friend enjoyed her rice combination dish with grilled pork and shredded pork skin. I've had the pho at other Pho Hai Duong locations before and enjoyed it more then. Maybe just a one off? I'd be open to return if I'm in the area and wanting pho.

The restaurant is very easy to find. There's limited customer parking in the front, but additional parking is available in the rear, which makes it convenient overall.

They promptly provide both the lunch special menu and the full traditional menu, which I appreciated. I chose the grilled pork bánh mì lunch special, which comes with your choice of a spring roll (fresh rice paper or crispy) and a soda. I went with the crispy spring roll and a soda. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The portions were perfect for lunch not too heavy, but very satisfying. The service was impeccable: friendly, attentive staff and quick turnaround time. The restaurant was also clean and well-maintained, which always matters. Overall, this was a great lunch experience. Quick service, good portions, fresh food, and excellent customer service. I would absolutely recommend stopping in and taking advantage of their lunch specials if you're in the mood for Vietnamese food.
