Finally tried this place and it's definitely somewhere I'll be eating at often. The ordering system they have is really modern. You go up and use their touch screen system to customize your order, pay and pick up your order number. When your order is ready, you can go up to the counter to pick it up. So easy! I've tried the Fully Loaded Bowl with beef, the Magnum Rolls with pork, and the Pho here. The bowls are great if you're feeling healthy because it comes with loads of veggies. The rolls here are HUGE. At first I was a little hesitant to get them because for 3 rolls, I thought it was quite expensive. Turns out, it's because those rolls might as well be 3 hot dogs because they aren't kidding when they say magnum. The pho here is good but not out of this world. If you're looking for pho, I'd go elsewhere but if you really need your pho fix, this place offers it as a side portion as well. Recently, I've been having a lot more of their bahn mis and now think that they are definitely the best things on the menu. They are also really big portioned. The caramelized pork is definitely the best protein for the bahn mis. Also, the iced coffee here is the bomb. I always think viet iced coffee is either too creamy or too sweet but it's perfect here. A little pricey at worth it to me. A lot of people also get their fresh young coconut served right out of the coconut. Haven't tried that yet but it looks super cute. read more

I was intrigued when I saw this place was new and had great ratings - it's always a challenge to find good food options in the Tyson's area. With that said, it's important to note what the ratings reflect. This place is definitely fast casual, not haute cuisine. For what it is, it's fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a date, but if you're in the area and want something quick and reasonably well-executed, it's a decent bet. The employees were unusually helpful and attentive - maybe this is a family affair? For whatever reason, the folks working there seemed engaged and genuinely helpful. I would rate the food quality overall as not bad, relative to other fast casual joints out there. I had both a chicken and a tofu dish to sample the range of the menu a bit. I think the tofu dish was a bigger win. The chicken was not terrible, but didn't seem particularly high-quality. It was mostly dark meat, which I think is common in Vietnamese cuisine. The rolls were large and filling, and everything was neatly packaged. The clientele seemed young and peppy, down-to-earth. The set-up has a few tables, but it seemed better-suited to take-out. read more

So I thought this place was over-rated. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible or anything but given the stellar reviews I had pretty high expectations coming in. Before I continue I'll also add that I've visited Vietnam on three separate occasions and frequent the Eden center so I have fairly high standards when it comes to Vietnamese food. We tried the Five-Spiced Chicken Banh Mi, a bowl, and an order of the fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were pretty tasty, they were very deep fried and greasy but tasted quite good. The Banh Mi wasn't quite right - baguette was a little bit off and the chicken didn't taste like it had been freshly cooked. The bowl was beautiful to look at it but again just didn't think the taste was anything to write home about it. All in all I wouldn't say avoid it if you happen to be in the Tyson's area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to hit it up. P.S. Parking Tip: There is very limited parking directly in front of the restaurant, and many of the spaces in this area are reserved for specific businesses in the shopping center. There is additional parking available in the garage located to the left of Roll Play. read more

I had the oxtail Pho and egg rolls delivered to my hotel and it was perfection. I couldn't even finish my Pho because they give you a nice size. And I wish I ordered more egg rolls. I see why this place has such great reviews and I plan on ordering again while I'm in town. The broth came on the side so you can add in what you need. read more

Roll Play has been on my list to try for awhile and it did not disappoint! The design of the restaurant is nice: industrial and modern. However, this is a very small place so definitely not good for big parties. Furthermore, parking is very limited. I would imagine someone just grabbing to go would be frustrated if they had nowhere to park. When you are ready to order, you self order using touch screen pads and your order number is called. I ordered the banh mi w/ egg and lemongrass beef, pork egg rolls, and a limeade. The sandwich itself was delicious and savory but as a true banh mi lover this take on banh mi skips out on pâté. So if you need pâté on your sandwich this isn't the place for you. Another negative was the baguette broke easily apart making it very hard to eat and actually enjoy the food. The egg rolls (or spring rolls?) was great and authentic tasting as well as the limeade. Overall, I had a good experience here and I will return to try more things on the menu. read more

Just went here for lunch. It is a very innovative place. The do it yourself screens are a great addition. I took one star off because of the seating. First there isn't enough seating and the seating they currently have is flimsy. The chairs aren't the best. I feel like they could fit more seating in this place. The food was really good. Not exactly authentic, but great for lunch. I got a side order of the pho and a side of the veggie eggrolls. Both were really good. I tried some of the Vietnamese coffee and it was also really good. There is free parking in the garage beside the restaurant. Note: there is no longer a check in offer for the coffee. read more

Place is ok, I wouldn't say great but the food came out fast. I had the banh mi sandwich, summer rolls with shrimp (which was huge) and their iced coffee. A little bit annoying that their deep fried spring rolls were all sold out by 12:30pm?? Price was on the higher side than what I'm use to paying for Vietnamese fast food, but overall a good alternative to what was around in the area for a quick meal. read more

I only took takeout so I wasn't about to get the full experience here but this place was very cozy as soon as I walked in. There's a touch screen where you can do your full ordering which made it very easy to get what you want! I ordered the bahnmi sandwich, side pho, spring rolls and side of papaya salad. Definitely recommend the first 3, it was super delicious but the papaya salad was pretty bland and can skip. I got all those for about $35. A little more pricey than what you would pay at regular Vietnamese restaurants but they stuff the living heck outta these rolls and you'll get your fill! I can't wait to go back and try to the noodle bowls and egg rolls on the menu. Which means, yes I will be going back!! Can't wait! read more

Everything we've eaten here has been SOLID. I usually get the pork belly bahn mi which is well marinated with a lot of flavor. The side of beef pho also exceeded my expectations. Don't forget to try the coconut, lime-ade, and the iced coffee because the drinks are really good too. The prices are a little high but the portions are huge so it really evens out. I almost never finish my bahn mi and the side of pho is also a generous portion. read more

10/27/2016: Nooooooo. Looks like Roll Play is a victim of its own success. My last two experiences have been meh. They've changed the baguette, its now neither good nor holds up the sandwich well. The eggs were overcooked both times, and the pork belly was overly gooey. Its still ok, but the drop in quality is unfortunate. 6/1/2016: I got the classic Banh Mi with pork belly. I would rate it to be one of the best in the DC area. Many go wrong ignoring the baguette, but they get it. Everything is fresh and the customer service is incredible. They've quickly become my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, which is amazing considering there are plenty around here. read more

The chasin tails company made another hit with this one.. I tried the bowl with the caramelized pork one day and the loaded banh mi with pork the next.. The bowl was ok.. I thought flavor was kind of missing except for the pork- that thing was sooo good! But I guess I should've mixed the sauce in the bowl, I wasn't too sure.. So the banh mi? It was great!!! A little steep with the price $10+ for a banh mi but I guess it's worth it cuz it's actually very good.. Maybe a little more meat would compensate for it.. Overall, this place is good.. HEH never really fails.. :) read more

In terms of pho/banh-mi places that cornered the market on ordering quickly I would say this is the first place I've seen that have order/pay kiosk. Interesting decor with a mildly rustic feel inside the place. I like that they have stools as I like eating slightly more elevated. I went during the evening time with a coupon I got through the mail. They have typical Vietnamese fare with mainly pho, banh mi, and vermicelli rolls. They do have bowls too similar to a bibimbap in korean food though I'm sure there's a Vietnamese name for it. They also have the typical Vietnamese drinks like coffee, coconut water from a whole coconut, etc. I ordered a beef pho, pork egg rolls (came in an order of 4), and a mineral water to go which came to roughly $17. In retrospect I wish I had ordered it for eat in as the portion I got as far as the filling for the pho was somewhat small. A very scant amount of noodles effectively. The egg rolls were ok, I could tell they clearly were not homemade. In retrospect, and based on other reviews of this place I would say if you want pho eat it there, otherwise order a banh mi to go as it is a much more satiating. Skip the egg rolls and go for a different side. I will say I am glad that its there as it is fairly close to the concrete jungles around Greensboro so its convenient if you are wanting some Vietnamese food as there really aren't that many options around Tysons. read more

I expected to like Roll Play more than I actually did. The only thing I really enjoyed was the magnum roll with five-spiced chicken. My boyfriend really enjoyed the pork belly banh mi but said that the chicken pho tasted artificial and had a lot of noodles but too little broth. I think the food is a bit pricey as well. Due to all of the positive reviews I've read about this place, my expectations were set high but unfortunately were not reached. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so my friend and I thought we'd give it a try! It's tucked away in a strip near Tyson's, but has some of the best aesthetics I've seen. It's so welcoming and trendy, but fair warning they do not take cash! Everyone orders at a kiosk and they're super speedy to make your meal. I got a bowl with vermicelli noodles, mint, pickled mix, mango, spring onions, cucumber, bean sprouts, pork belly, and the Vietnamese vinaigrette. The portions are large and fit the price, and they have so many different options to choose from. I also got the coconut which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It's so cool to see them crack it open in front of you and the water and meat inside is delicious. My bowl was also very tasty and the vinaigrette gave it great flavor. The mango and other veggies were super fresh, and the pork belly was marinated and cooked perfectly. I am so glad I came bear to grab a bite, the service was great and the food was even better, I can't wait to come back soon! read more

If you haven't tried this place, you need to! Found this place using Yelp and reviews, probably wouldn't have known about it otherwise. The food is great! Sometimes I want pho but the restaurant sizes are typically too big and Roll Play has great, unique portions. Get summer rolls that are bigger in size AND get three rather than two like you would at restaurants. Even better, you get to customize them with ingredients you want. Even the sodas here are unique and taste awesome! They have fresh coconut juice, Vietnamese coffee, and more. So many choices here! For parking, there's a select few spots in the front and also a garage. Chairs are stools with bar-like tables. It's a small, modern, and very clean place. read more

Probably the best banh mi I've had and usually I have it with pork but their chicken is seasoned so well that I would probably get that every time. The bread was perfect too, not that stale baguette that is usually given. The only thing I didn't like was the egg even though that was the signature style but it wasn't bad enough to take out. Overall really good aesthetic too, quick ordering and great interior! read more

Roll Play - Eggs-rated banh mi and Fully loaded Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

We had a fantastic experience here last week. The touch screen ordering makes selecting your food super easy, and I also really enjoyed the craft soda (a nice change of pace from the usual Coke/Pepsi). I'm no expert on Vietnamese cuisine, but the banh mi and noodle bowls we ordered were both delicious, and the mini spring rolls were the perfect appetizer. My noodle bowl came with some toppings I didn't order. I didn't plan to say anything (it was still tasty), but there was an employee going around asking how everyone's meal was and I mentioned it. He insisted on refunding my money (I didn't ask him to), and I appreciated the extra attention to customer service. As others have mentioned, there's not much seating here, so plan to get your order to go if you can. There's also not much parking in front of the restaurant, but they'll give you a token for the parking garage below if you ask. read more

Went late on Saturday night and the small space was filling up fast. The touch screens were easy to use and everything looked very well put together which was a nice aesthetic change from the usual Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered the vermicelli bowl, the vegetables ingredients tasted very fresh but the noodles seemed like they'd been sitting for a bit. A friend ordered the pho which was served in a tall container, rather than the usual wide, low bowls. The dishware is disposable for easy take out but it's hard mixing everything up in the fairly tall plastic bowls. We were hustled out pretty quickly by other customers who wanted a place to sit which is a pity because the restaurant is really well put together and you'd want to linger and chat for a bit. read more

The customer service for roll play is outstanding, and I believe that it will be a successful business! I enjoy their idea of fusion foods, with a modern yet ethnic feel. I got the pleasure of meeting one of the owners and truly enjoyed our conversation of how roll play began, and their ideas behind their business. The food is great, and I REALLY enjoy their eggrolls. They are my favorite. I also got the noodle and meat bowl and was very happy they offered shiritaki noodles (low carb) for health conscious foodies. I enjoyed my Meal and didn't feel guilty afterwards!! My boyfriend and I really enjoy roll play and will definitely come again! read more

Nice concept. Food was amazing. Parking is a lil difficult. But they do have a garage. Place gets packed quick. Music a lil too loud to dine in since we have to talk overtop of the music. Good spot for lunch. We loved the young coconut drink. The noodle bowl were huge. Enough to share. Don't care much for the lemon grass beef, was very chewy and lots of fat and bland. Will be back just for the coconut juice. read more

This place kept popping up on my instagram and I finally made the trip out there to try it. I absolutely love their banhmi!! I never liked banhmi before, until I tried this place. The ordering system is extremely simple, you just have to go up to a touch screen and press whatever you want to order. It was about a 10 minute wait before my order was ready for pick up (it was a really busy day too). I got the mini egg-rolls, a pork belly egg banhmi and iced coffee. They were all really delicious. The bread was crunchy and ingredients were fresh, just thinking about it makes me want to go back again! The total came out to be around $20. This place is a definite must, if you like Vietnamese food. The only issue I would have, is with the seating. I think they can definitely use their space a little better. If you can't find parking in front of the restaurant, there is a free underground garage. read more

Came for dinner with a friend around 5 and was pleased there wasn't a huge crowd. I had the summer rolls with added avocado and they were amazing. We had great service and a wonderful dining experience in that the food was good, the presentation was better, and the ambiance was chill. Additionally, they have this great guarantee that if your food isn't out in 10 minutes, it's free! Pluses: - The food is good - the rolls might not look filling but they are - Very futuristic ordering system with a touchscreen computer (#RobotsReplaceHumans) that's easy to use and highly visual so you know exactly what you are getting - Everything is neat and crisp, including all of the packaging and table setting (highly 'grammable in my opinion) Minuses: - The parking situation is a little annoying, but there is a free garage read more

Roll Play - Rolls with the peanut sauce and Vietnamese coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The bahn mi is delicious. The pork belly and fried egg combo with all the vegetables and jalapeños make for a very filling meal. It is more expensive than the sandwiches you can get at a traditional Vietnamese deli, but if that's what you're craving, don't go to roll play. Do check out roll play if you want a delicious "Americanized" sandwhich. The egg rolls are just okay in my opinion... If recommend not getting them unless you're really craving something fried, because let's face it, how call you ruin anything fried. I've also tried their bun... And for that I prefer the traditional take as well. read more

No customer service really, you walk into three monitors staring at you, which makes it easy for their lunch rush I guess. They didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in the door, just assumed I knew to go straight to the kiosks. Ordered the magnum rolls with pork belly, they were tasty. The hard part is getting it in your mouth. They are like burritos... Difference is you don't dip burritos into a sauce. Everything came apart once I took a bite and tried to dip again. I'd prefer 4 smaller rolls for the same price. Speaking of which, $9.85 for 3 rolls is pretty pricey considering it's mostly vermicelli noodles. I get it, you're in Tysons and your lease is probably $$$. I also got their taro pudding which was even better than my favorite taro pudding spot in Eden so kudos to them! I'll be back to try their vermicelli bowls and get more taro pudding. I probably won't keep them in my regular foodie rotation but it's an option for sure. read more

It's a lovely decent fast food place which serves American Vietnamese. It's a tiny place and always crowded and hard to find a parking space because it's so popular. While the taste is very good, I do have several complaints: 1. The high table is not very comfortable. 2. Pho is served in a very tall cup, as tall as my chopsticks, so it's not easy to eat the pho especially the noodle is at the very bottom. I think they can either give me longer chopsticks or use wider but shorter cup. 3. The beef in the pho and the meat on the bowl are not as good as regular pho restaurant. read more

I wasn't as impressed with Roll Play Grill as I had hoped. I'd heard so much about it and was really excited to visit. But the restaurant is a bit dingy, those hard iron stools are difficult and uncomfortable to sit on, and it doesn't seem super clean. The restaurant just seemed uninviting, in both appearance and the service. The food was OK, but nothing to write home about. I love Vietnamese food and I thought the food at Roll Play Grill was generally lackluster - expensive for a small portion and not super tasty food. You can customize your food and I chose to order a noodle bowl with beef, avocado, mint, carrot slaw, bean sprouts, cilantro, crushed peanuts, crispy fried onions, and spring rolls, with a peanut dipping sauce on the side. While tasty enough, it just wasn't as good as I expected. I might go back again just to give it anther chance, but I hope I have a better experience next time. read more

I first found out about this place at a Yelp Elite event. The whole room smelled amazing because they were there handing out samples! I knew I had to try them out. Parking is a little weird because you have to park in the parking lot that goes down a couple of levels, but they validate parking so there is no need to pay. The way to order is at the kiosk at the counter. I ordered a pho bowl with vegetables and beef. The restaurant itself is kind of small and it was crowded. I was able to find a place to sit and eat, though. It took a few minutes to get my food because they were busy, but I didn't have to wait long. It was so good! Sometimes in pho there are odd ingredients that I'm not used to eating. Here they seem to bring the best of pho and make it easy for the typical American to enjoy. read more

I haven't had Vietnamese food since I was in California and this place blew away all the previous Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. I like the kiosk ordering system that made everything easy to customize. I had the pork belly Bahn Mi and it was absolutely delicious, had no complaints about the sand which at all. The bread was perfect as well as the delicious pork belly. My wife had the fried rice which was tasty as well.

Hands down the best pho I've had in my life. They were at a yelp event and gave generous portions of their pho. I had the tofu with oxtail broth. Omg.

I would have like to gone back for seconds but the belly wouldn't allow. read more

Delicious Thai food! Highly recommend spicy oxtail broth for Pho and the shrimp magnum roll with the vinegar dip on the side.

Loved the shrimp rolls but the Pho I felt was a little small and pricey from what I normally get.

The spicy broth was so delicious and not too spicy I still added jalepenos and siracha and loved the heat! read more
