The food was delicious. They source all their food from a local organic butcher in McLean -- you can immediately taste it when you take your first bite! This location is built mostly for take out orders, so the dine in option is limited and small, especially if you have a group larger than 5 or 6. However, easy garage parking that is free. They also have a ton of promotions on Uber Eats so highly recommend you take a look at ordering via that platform.
I used to love Roll Play, but it has gone downhill. It used to be so cute and funky inside and now, after a renovation, it's just dull and corporate. Staff is still very friendly and I appreciate their hours. I still love their magnum rolls (or whatever they are called these days). I ordered egg rolls recently and gone are the deliciously addictive, crisp appetizer that I once loved; now they are bland and limp. I'll probably still return, but it's just sad to see what has happened.
Came here with a friend and we decided to order via Uber eats because I saw they had a lot of good deals online. It was buy one get one free for the majority of the items. Of course the prices are a little marked up, but I think the deals were worth it. If you spend more than $25 you get a dessert trio or a chili set and we decided to get the mango Sago dessert. We also ordered the chicken rice bowl, which was good. It tasted very fresh and light with a lot of different vegetables. The spring rolls were hot and fresh, but I would probably pass the next time. I got the notification that my order was ready, but it still took a couple more minutes nonetheless it was still pretty good.
Great food, but pricey! This sandwich with beef was $24. Great flavors, but get your wallet ready!
It is hard to tell in this picture but Roll Play will load up your bowl with protein, noodles, and veggies. I got the beef combination pho and enjoyed all the different cuts of beef, especially the oxtail, so tender and flavorful. I grabbed oyster sauce and siracha but did not use it because the broth was seasoned SO WELL. I plan to come back soon for the oxtail bahn mi! This location recently changed their interior and now has plenty of seating inside. It is always clean and service is always swift and friendly. Don't worry about coming here when it is too hot outside because the AC is strong too. The mango sago dessert was not my favorite, texture was a little too slippery for me. However I did enjoy the coconutty/tart flavor and the oats in the bottom!
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!
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).
I have been a huge fan of Roll Play ever since they opened, and even though I left the DMV, I always hit it up when I visit. The quality of the food and portions are consistently good. It's great to see they now have other locations.
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.
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.
It was Saturday afternoon between 2-3 pm and it was raining. The place was packed! I was noticing that the food on the real plates and bowls, no more papers!!!! You guys listen, I was so excited to eat hot pho in a real bowl!!! I think this place needs a bit more room to move around, crowded today and everyone were nice moving around and taking turns to pass each other bc two people cannot fit while walking, very intimate bc we were so close to each other. The food was delicious and the pho soup was jut perfect, very hot, love it! One thing about the pho rice noodles, it was cut up or overcooked this time, noodles broke apart so easily and not as aldente. Maybe it will be better next time.
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.

We'd heard a lot about Roll Play and wanted to check it out. When we did, they were doing an amazing business but 99% take out. Perhaps it was because, although there is seating, it can be awkward for groups because the tables have an upper shelf running along the center. This may be a great place to put your tray but it makes it pretty hard to chat with someone on the other side. Chatting will probably also be tough because the day we visited, the music was super loud. We opted for several different dishes to share. The summer rolls featuring chicken and pork belly were very filling and could be customized. For me, the vast number of choices and decisions to be made at the kiosk was a little overwhelming, especially if there is someone behind you. I'm sure this gets easy ordering from the quiet of your own phone/computer or once you are more familiar with the menu. The spring rolls arrived nice and crisp. Our favorite was the braised brisket tacos. Everything is very filling and you will not leave hungry. I appreciate that they had large glasses for water rather than the tiny ones that a lot of quick serve places seem to offer. The staff was very friendly and even offered us a couple of extra spring rolls when they realized they had forgotten that part of our order. Parking is easy in the garage right next door. For us, Roll Play was a little loud and uncomfortable for getting together for lunch with friends or family but, looking at the takeout business they were doing, may be just right for enjoying their food somewhere else. read more

After a long flight from SFO to DC, Roll Play was exactly what I needed! I ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls (which were buy-one-get-one-free) and the chicken pho, and both were incredible. The chicken pho was like a warm hug in a bowl--comforting, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. It was the perfect meal to help me unwind after a tiring trip. The shrimp and pork spring rolls were equally delightful with a great balance of textures and flavors. To top it all off, they threw in two of their magic sauces as freebies with my UberEats order! I haven't tried them yet, but I know they'll be amazing when I get back home. Roll Play truly hit the spot with their fresh, flavorful food and thoughtful touches. I'll definitely be ordering from here again on my next visit to DC! read more
WOW!! I haven't been inside Roll Play since 2019! And I regret it! I've been avoiding it only because I'm trying to stay in Keto or Low Carb and of course looking at their amazing Banh Mi and noodles aren't helpful! Lol But I was shocked when I saw that they had a Cauliflower rice option for a while ( I was told that they just canceled it because it wasn't selling well!) And Shirataki low carb noodles! Only 2 NET CARBS!!! YES!!! I made a super Pho! I chose OxOxtail meat, Angus beef slices, lemon grass chicken and Shrimp! In a spicy Oxtail Bone Broth! With white onions, cilantro, scallions, lime and basil! And Sate chili oil ! My Coworker got the power bowl and a Vietnamese iced coffee and he said it was pretty good! I love their hours! There is no time in the day that you might need Roll Play and you might find them closed! I love the huge and amazing options on the menu! Customer service was amazing and they nicely answered all my questions and they also fulfilled my order accurately ! Finally I'm sipping a Pho that is really made put of bones like the Oxtail pho !! The soup/pho was tasty! Full of Aroma , fatty and delicious ! All the meats were phenomenal ! I really want to thank them for the amazing low carb noodles idea! The store isn't big, seats are limited and the ambiance is casual! Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;) read more

Rollplay just joined the In Kind app community which is just amazing!! That means I can get food at a discounted price (I add money to the In Kind app and get extra bonus money!) Today In Kind sent me a $25 gift card to use and I placed a delivery order from Rollplay! It was amazing! Food (5/5): I love the fresh spring rolls sooooo much! I get them custom so I can add the crispy roll ($.99 upcharge) which takes them huge summer rolls to the next level :) We also love the spring rolls and now everything in their menu was cooked in 100% avocado oil! Woo hoo!! Service (5/5): delivery was quick and efficient! read more

Hi Carol! We appreciate this review very much. Your support for the…
I love this place! I always order take out. Their beef pho is good but their spring rolls garlic shrimp with spicy peanut sauce is the bomb !!! I love the mint, the crunch, and the garlic shrimp. Just a great combo. Just make sure you check your order before you leave because when they are busy they forget some items. I took off a star for this read more

One of the highlights of my DC trips is the foodie scene. After settling into our hotel, we decided to order in using DoorDash, and I always opt toward restaurants with buy-one-get-one deals so we can get a little more bang for our buck. We stumbled upon Roll Play and their BOGO menu. We ordered the spicy oxtail pho, Thai basil chicken, fried rice, and Vietnamese coffee. Everything was delicious! The pho was flavorful (both hot and cold (since I saved some to eat this evening), meat was tender, the chicken was crispy and complemented perfectly by the sriracha aioli, and the coffee was strong (good option after our long day of traveling from the West Coast). Everything was packaged perfectly for a delivery order. I couldn't have asked for a better first meal in DC. read more
Stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the spicy oxtail pho and summer rolls (chicken and tofu). Everything was really tasty and enjoyed the "faster food" atmosphere. The broth of the pho was a great flavor, it wasn't too spicy (would say it was more of a mild level) so don't be too worried if you're can't handle spice. Meat was super tender as well. The summer rolls were pretty big and I would recommend the chicken over the tofu. Saw someone else order a Banh mi and portions looked huge so will be trying that out next time! To order they have 2 screens so it's easy to go through the menu and see pictures of what they have. Will definitely be back next time I'm around the area !! read more
Came back from our 2025 Thanksgiving with the in-laws a little under the weather. Enter RPs broths. Sick in bed so ordered via UE. Lo and behold, 20oz broth is 50% off. SOLD! I ordered two Veggie broths, crafted from scratch with sea salt, fresh lemongrass, apple, and fragrant ginger, perfectly balanced with warm spices (cinnamon, star anise, and cardamom) for a light, flavorful, and comforting taste. ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.. sooo yummy, one Oxtail Bone Broth, crafted from hundreds of pounds of grass-fed oxtail and beef bones, slow simmered for 24 hours. This is my norm. Collagen please, thank you. And lastly, one order of Vegetarian egg rolls, hand-rolled in house with fresh carrots, taro, onion and shallots and fried to golden crispiness in pure avocado oil. Received two orders because they were BOGO. Score. I was able to make several meals from my order and I always feel like their broths help me recover faster, plus I know I'm getting flavorful, quality food. read more
I used Roll Play to cater my special event, and my guests nearly finished off everything! Ashley and Tuyet, the co-owners, responded quickly to my requests and took care of my group from beginning to end. I like that all dishes were enjoyed by our Asian and Western guests alike, and this is due to the impeccable grilling of the meat and seasoning of the dishes. The banh mi sandwiches had a pleasant glaze that "popped" when taking a bite. All spring rolls were very fresh, and the sauces balanced with the right amount of savory, sweet, and tangy. The Mom's fried rice had pleasant bits of steak, chicken, and shrimp-- all enhanced by the seasoning. I've had much banh mi in my life, and fast casual is a delicate archetype to nail. Roll Play threaded that need on flavor, service, and price. I highly recommend stopping by to get your kick. read more

literally 3 minutes drive from the tysons corner WHY DIDNT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER? (been just driving to eden center which is super long and crazy) - rollplay tastes better than eden center tbh OMG these are so delicious and we couldn't finish all of it but the containers and boxes are to-go friendly! my husband loves the spring rolls and the taste of Vietnam is still there! he is a huge fan of the food! the inside is very rustic and doesn't hold that many people -- you can order on the kiosk which has photos and extra add-ons. i reheated my banh mi and it's still tastes like when i got it! amazing job read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. My fiancée and I had it on our list for about a year Ms thought "why not give it a shot?" So that's what we did and we couldn't have been happier with the choice. We ordered the oxtail pho, the combo fried rice, the Build Your Own summer rolls, and the spring rolls. The spring rolls were good but nothing special. The combo fried rice was solid but they forget to cook in the pepper that we paid for so it felt like it was lacking a little something. But what it lacked for in spice it made up for in meats added in. I ordered just the side of it and it was plenty of food to supplement some summer rolls as well. My fiancée ordered the side order of oxtail pho and she made a great choice. She added spice and it was delicious! Would definitely go back just for the pho. The summer rolls are essentially just the magnum rolls that used to be on the menu. They're giant spring rolls and they're pretty good so long as you build them with the right ingredients. I made a steak one that was so-so. The service is pretty minimal here. You order on the screen and they bring it out to you if you're dining in. The interactions I did have with staff were good though! The restaurant does have some seating inside but it's overall a fairly small space. I was sad to see that they didn't have any soda on our visit. I'm not sure if this is the norm or just a one off. You can park in the garage for free. read more
I love Vietnamese food. Banhmi is an elite sandwich. My favorite is Banhmi DC in Falls Church. Roll play's Banhmi is okay. The sandwich was packed with ingredients but nothing really stood out. The meat was super dry. The bread was nothing special. The sandwich overall was really greasy. I also tried the summer roll with garlic shrimp- good! read more

I probably order delivery from here way too much but I have no regrets. Roll play has some of the best broth in the area. The spicy bone broth is my favorite but the regular and veggie are also pretty good. I've never had oxtail in pho but it's a game changer. The oxtail is nice and tender and the broth is packed with flavor. The toppings are always fresh. They have a nice selection of pho including lifestyle options if you want low carb, a power boost or protein, or gut healing. I also usually get the vegetarian egg rolls or the shrimp and pork rolls. Both are really good and have the perfect amount of crunch. The Bahn Mi is amazing. I got it with lemongrass chicken. It's a decent size so I typically will save the other half for lunch the next day. I love the different protein options. There's lemongrass chicken, black pepper steak, garlic shrimp, Atlantic salmon, caramelized pork belly, sesame glaze tofu. Really something for everyone. The menu is pretty expansive no matter what you're looking for. It even works if you're looking for anti-inflammatory options. I appreciate how quick they make the food. I never have to wait to long to receive my delivery. I also love the branding on the boxes. Not really feeling the more paper like bowl but the branding is nice. I'm probably going to order something today for lunch. Definitely going to stop by in person whenever I'm in the area so I can experience Roll Play in all its glory. read more

I have been coming here since 2015 when I used to live in McLean apartments off of route 7 and this place opened up and would stay open late and was the perfect spot for late night food. I moved to Reston but I still come here for their food. So, it's high time and I owe them a review for being a loyal customer for almost a decade now. I LOVE pho and they have spicy oxtail option which isn't common in any Vietnamese restaurant so I highly recommend that. My another favorite is their fried rice! That just hits the spot every time and kudos to the chef and the owner for being so consistent with the favor and the quality. I'm all for supporting my local businesses and specially women owned. It brings me a lot of joy to be able to continue to support them as they grow their business. I highly recommend this place and I hope you'd give them a try and would enjoy the food as much as I do. P.S. I miss the coconut water with the actual coconut. Please bring it back, if possible! read more

This place is great! You get a lot of food, and I do wish you could just order one or two summer rolls but it was great to try the different ones! The bahn mi was also delicious and I had to save to other for home! I got the pork belly and basically had it my way with the toppings I wanted on it. read more

The service was good even though you order through a kiosk. The young lady was so helpful. The wait for our food wasn't long either. I love the inside of the art work. But the place is small and stay pack. They do offer outdoor seating. I was happy it wasn't pack when we went this night. My rice bowl was delicious I give it a 8.5-10 and my salmon spring roll had some flavors the day before should've ate as soon as I got it . My wife said the pho was ok she gave it a 7.5-10. But we will come back. read more

Me and my wife were feeling a bit under the weather and did a quick drop in to warmup on a cold day. The pho here was just what the Dr ordered. The good: the food, this place is 100% about the food and it's great. By that I mean not the most comfortable seating no service to speak of but really great food. The mediocre: look this place really was just the food. We ordered and paid on their tablet system and eventually heard our name called and grabbed the food. This is more of a quick eats spot so If you are looking for a sit down experience it's probably not for you. I also awkwardly sent the order tablet back to the Home Screen which gave me access to basic computer apps which was a bit odd. read more

Hands down one of my favorite places for Vietnamese cuisine! I've eaten here multiple times and the quality is always superb. The summer rolls are always fresh and delicious. I really like their vermicelli bowls, they are so delicious and huge! I ordered some vermicelli bowls for my family and they were so amazed. Now they're asking when we're going to go again! read more

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for the kind words. We’re very happy…
So I like that they're open till 1 am. They have parking in the garage. You pay on the machine. It took 10 mins to get it. There's not really a lot of seating. I got the salmon rice bowl. It wasn't real Vietnamese food. They put food options that I didn't want. The Vietnamese sauce is just sweet chili sauce. It wasn't my favorite thing to eat. It's like bibimbap Asian bowls. read more

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.
