Tried this spot in Founders row after running in the trail. There's a parking garage with validation at certain restaurants. Roll play is very small, so highly recommend ordering take out and eating outside. There are a variety of bowls and sandwiches to choose from. You can also create your own. I made my own rice bowl with peanut sauce. It was very dry in my option. I wish they gave more sauce. Flavors were there but I wished I could pick more toppings. Service is very quick. Probably waited less than 5min for my order. Overall, it was very filling for $16. read more

UPDATE: To make matters worse, the GM replied to this review on Google and then promptly deleted their response. If upper management cannot even handle customer feedback with basic integrity, it explains why the employee felt entitled to act out in the first place. This confirmed we will never be returning. --- Management needs to address this employee--hostile and disrespectful behavior ​I am leaving this review so management and prospective customers know exactly how staff here treats people. I used to come to RollPlay often and enjoyed the food, but management needs to realize who they have representing their business. ​My wife, my toddler, and I walked in today. Like most restaurant doors, we assumed it would close on its own. Apparently the door is broken, but instead of anyone politely mentioning it, an employee sitting in the dining area on her lunch break got up, slammed the door shut behind us, and gave us an extremely nasty look. ​It is not our fault that your door is broken. Aggressively slamming a door behind a family with a small child and glaring at us is completely ill-mannered. If she feels comfortable behaving this way toward a family with a toddler, she is undoubtedly treating other customers like this too. To make matters worse, not a single employee apologized for her outburst. ​We immediately walked out without ordering. Management needs to handle this employee's attitude before she drives away even more regular customers. I don't need good food with crappy customers service. read more

I am sharing a concerning experience for the awareness and safety of other diners. During a recent visit, I found a bug in my pho. I contacted the restaurant and spoke with Kevin, the manager, who assured me that he would investigate the matter and get back to me with his findings. After waiting a couple of weeks without any follow-up, I reached out to Kevin multiple times via text requesting an update. Unfortunately, I never received a response. While I understand that issues can occasionally arise in any restaurant, I am disappointed by the lack of communication and follow-through regarding a serious food safety concern. I am sharing this experience so that other patrons can make informed decisions when dining at this location. I had hoped the restaurant would address the situation responsibly and transparently, but the absence of any response has compelled me to share. read more

Craving pho on a rainy evening and chicken with oxtail bone broth was just the ticket !! They were offering buy one get one free and then buy one get one free for the gluten free spring rolls ! Ordered through uber and I always pay the extra $2 for priority delivery so we get it hot! The veggies with cilantro- basil -lime -bean sprouts - were super fresh, the chicken is halal and humane raised - and flavors are so great (not just pure salt). Ate too fast to take a photo but so glad they're in falls church ! read more

After months of getting ads to try this place, I finally put it on my list for when I fly back to NorVa. Since UberEats was running a special of buy one get one free, I opted for ordering to-go via the app. I ordered the combination pho, chicken and shrimp egg rolls, and received the chili oil set as a gift for meeting the spending requirement. I will say attempting to get to the restaurant was an experience to say the least and parking is far limited so I suggested parking in the parking deck not too far from it. And unfortunately I did not go inside to retrieve the food but I was told it's extremely small inside. The bag of food was pipingggg hot. I was salivating all the way home. Pictured you'll see the spread of what I ordered. The normal portion for the egg rolls is two but since it's BOGO free, I ended up with four. I tasted the broth by itself since that lets me know how amazing the food is going to be. Lots of flavor! You can tell they put hard work into but the star of the show was the oxtails. Oh! My! GOD! I've never had more tender meat in a pho before. And it was an abundance of meat. I added a sprig of lime juice for the nice acidic kick and devoured my pho. The egg rolls were delicious as well. A nice crispy exterior with a soft interior. It was supposed to come with sweet chili sauce but it wasn't in the bag so we used the store bought we had in the fridge. Nevertheless this is a solid app! I sampled the chili oil set. I'm very fond of the oil. Not too spicy and the flavors of garlic is prominent. The chili crunch is ok but the peanuts are what I taste most. I will definitely enjoy this restaurant again. read more

First off, it's fast casual Vietnamese food. Second, ordering on Uber Eats damn near guarantees a steal of a deal. Third, I got the 100g protein bowl today - it had two eggs, madd shrimp, brisket and salmon - and it was really good. Had I known the brisket was going to be that tender, fatty and flavorful when combined with the rice and egg and Viet dressing, I would've gotten all brisket. I ordered through Uber Eats and it was ready in like five minutes. I walked in, was greeted by the nicest man working, and even got to spin the wheel. I've only ever ordered from the Arlington location for delivery but that was one to two years ago and was okay but the bowl today was so good. Honestly, I felt REALLY good about what I was eating and it hit the spot. The inside of the restaurant is tiny but again, it's like fast casual - it's not a traditional pho spot, so some of the reviews acting like their pho needs to be the best in the land are missing the point. read more

RollPlay - Look at all these chopstick packets - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Insane Uber Eats deal! We've gotten takeout here multiple times because of the deals and the value alone deserves 4 stars. We've tried the spicy oxtail pho and the beef pho and both were mid. The chicken noodle bowl is tasty and I would definitely recommend that over the pho. On uber if you spend over $20 you also get free desserts which is these little jars of mango, oatmeal and sago and they are good and yummy! Highly recommend this place alone purely based on value. read more

Absolutely delicious. My coworker suggested we order lunch from Roll Play for delivery, and I was honestly blown away by how good these summer rolls were. I tried the shrimp, oxtail, and beef, and they were all fantastic everything tasted so fresh. The packaging was great, and the delivery was prompt and efficient. They had a buy-one-get-one-free deal going, so I picked up an extra box and was happy to have three more for dinner. I'll definitely be ordering from here again for lunch! read more

I recently started seeing ads about this spot and it peaked my attention so I was excited when I drove by. It's very small inside but there is some seating area. I think it was designed with a "to go" mindset which works for me. The service was fine, not much engagement but not bad either. I got the power bowl with shrimp and chicken. It was so fulfilling and delicious. I wish there was one closer to me. Great spot for quick good eats. read more

RollPlay - Power Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Order using Toaster iPads, have both BanMi and Pho, and some beverages most are pre-packed. They also have other Vietnamese dishes. I had the BanMi, it was good. Their best part is everything is made in Avacado oil. So it's got high smoke Point and you won't eat trans fats. Okay, probably the better part is they close at 1 AM so you can get healthy food that late if you are looking for. Vegan/Veggie options and customizations available. Music is great, a good combination of kpop and other Asian pop. They will bring you the food on the table, about 3 tables and most people seem to be getting to go. read more

First time at this location. Parking is hazardous:\ We were greet d upon entering. Smaller store than Tyson's location and the wall art didn't wow me. They were filming a commercial or something so I was able to take a few sweet pics because of the props. Ordered their wings naked and they were great. Thumbs up. No beading, crispy, not oily at all and flavorful. Definitely an item I'd prefer again in the future. read more

Man oh man literally my favorite Viet fast casual spot in Nova. I only ever go of the build your own Rolls because I am flexitarian and the NEVER miss. The best part is that they dont use seed oils and it's super healthy. Please try this place if you haven't already you are not going to regret it. read more

This was my third time here in the past 1-1/2 years and I am thoroughly convinced that they do not have the same quality of meat that they did when they opened a few years ago. I ordered a vermicelli dish with meat and it was over $20 for this lunch portion, which was primarily noodles and vegetables. I always order this same dish. The meat that was on it was tough and rubbery. I could not even cut it with the fork. I had to pick each piece up and tear them into smaller pieces. Most notably, though, was the extra extraordinary amount of thick fat on each of the pieces of meat. I don't remember the meat being this inedible the first time I ate here. I think their quality has gone downhill significantly. read more

RollPlay - A small amount of meat in this dish encompassed about 40% of it as fat. - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I had the opportunity to try out Roll Play Grill recently. The inside is small, with just a few high top tables to sit at. They have a smaller menu than more Vietnamese restaurants I've been too, but it gets the job done. I ordered their spicy oxtail bone broth with beef pho and a Thai coffee. The pho was spicy and flavorful, and the coffee was creamy and strong. They were able to answer my allergy questions with ease. I felt like the broth lacked the depth of flavor than my favorite pho place, but I liked how it cleared my sinuses. The prices were higher than most pho places I've been to as well. read more

This is a very fast casual Vietnamese spot. They have high top seating, very limited seats We ordered the spicy Oxtail Pho 10/10 The fried rice 3/10 The build your own Summer Rolls formerly known as the Magnum 8/10 The service was good. But nothing specials. A bunch of kids just working getting people fed lol. The only thing I really didn't enjoy was the fried rice. The portions were really big! The Pho was Phonomenal! For a side portion it was enough for a meal which I appreciated. read more

One of my favorite spots to hit up when in the Falls Church area! For fresh, flavorful, and fully customizable Vietnamese eats, Roll Play is a must-try. Whether you're craving rich oxtail pho, a bold black pepper beef banh mi, or a build-your-own noodle bowl, they serve up quality without the wait. The vegetarian egg rolls? Dangerously crispy and addictive. While the Falls Church spot leans more grab-and-go, the hearty portions and fresh ingredients make up for it. Believe it or not, I often order via Uber eats and the consistency has been exactly the same....fresh & delicious!! You can't go wrong with roll play grill. The food, flavors and service is always on point. Double thumbs up and I recommend you give this place a try. It's on repeat and speed dial from my end. lol read more

RollPlay - The Spicy Oxtail Beef Pho....is the business! Soooo good!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

The food was okay, but honestly, I felt like everything tasted pretty much the same. I'm wondering if they use the same seasonings or sauce for most of the dishes because there wasn't much variety in flavor. Some dishes were good, but I expected each one to have its own distinct taste. read more

I've been a fan of Roll Play in Tysons for years, so it was an easy decision to hit up the Falls Church location while I was in town. Their menu is a lot of fun - you can choose pre-made rice/noodle bowls, pho, banh mis, rolls OR make your own. I opted to make my own noodle bowl and my friend opted for a make your own roll. The flavors of the meat, fresh veggies, and sauce are light and satisfying. Their peanut sauce dipping sauce is particularly tasty. I really wanted to try their oxtail beef pho, but couldn't warrant the price. Still had a good visit and we were both happy with our meals. read more

3.5 stars Definitely more "modern" Vietnamese fare. The food is good but pricey. You get what you pay for right? Sometimes you can get a deal on an online ordering platform. I enjoyed their oxtail beef pho and their saté sauce is very good. My grip is the $18 sandwich. Again, you get a lot of lemongrass beef meat but it's like two or three meals in a sandwich. It's not like anything you would get in Vietnam but it is enjoyable. read more

I order from here maybe a little too often. At least once a week, you'll catch me with an ubereats. I've only ever dined here once but I do their delivery on a weekly basis because it's just that good! They aren't like the super traditional pho toppings that you get but the broth is chefs kiss! I typically get the spicy oxtail pho and build your own summer rolls but lately, I've been very into their pho broth alone. As for the service when I did dine in, they're very friendly and informative. The size of the dining area is very small so don't consider a large group if you're going to come here. The place is good for solo diners or party of 2. Highly rec! read more

This was the best food !! I had the Garden bowl and my dad had the Chicken Pho.. I used the spicy peanut sauce and the chili oil .. delish!! Delivery was fast and friendly. I will definitely order again. read more

RollPlay - We ate every bite!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I have always appreciated the hospitality and quality of the food and care from the Happy Endings group. Roll play in Falls church is shared with Nue and Chasin Tails. They also operate Teas'nYou, Lei'd, Roll play Tysons, and Happy eatery in Rosslyn. Serenely Asian to come soon as I can see from their website. https://serenelyan.com/ The owners are all very generous people with a goal to provide the best hospitality to their customers and to their employees. They are all amazing people. The food is delicious, and sharable with their generous portions. They have moved to healthier alternative recently with using avocado oil. The parking in this location is free, but in a separate parking garage that is shared with an apartment. Some of my favorite items are: Banh Mi, Ox tail pho, spring rolls (shrimp), fried rice and their Vietnamese iced coffee! They had a BOGO Uber eats deal for some time now and it was super convenient to just order and pick up. Definitely worth checking out their other businesses that I mentioned above. read more

I honestly don't understand all the hate that Roll Play gets! I'm Vietnamese and I really enjoy their bowls tbh. I love their noodle rice bowls and Power Bowl with the double protein. Flavor wise, the Vietnamese vinaigrette and spicy peanut sauces are my favorite. Their egg rolls are crunchy and fresh. Yes it is a little more expensive than going to Eden Center but it's clean, the produce/meat is good, and service is on top of it. Plus their rent at Founders Row alone justifies the cost. They have great deals through Uber Eats and I have never had a bad meal there. It's fresh, healthy for the most part, and always hits the spot. Check them out and ignore some of these salty reviews! read more

The spring rolls are delicious. It's also very beneficial they are open late and downstairs. Frequent customer! The staff are also very friendly. read more

As a fan of the restaurant group's other concepts (Chasin Tails, Teas N You, and Lei'd), I've always wanted to love this place, but after multiple visits (at both locations) I can't seem to get fully on board as a regular. But hey, everyone's got a least favorite relative even though you still love them, right? I think my issue is that while I applaud the owner's emphasis on healthy eating using avocado oil and adding modern healthy twists to her mom's traditional recipes, perhaps the endless customization to the individual components and "fast casualization" comes at at the loss of a cohesive flavor unless the customer figures out his/her own sweet spot, which perhaps I've been unable to do since the original flavor is chiseled into my brain. The mass production of these flavors also means the timing of a perfectly runny sunny side egg can be off the mark, noodles are a bit bland, and the proteins may be overcooked after sitting in a larger bin waiting to be selected, which tends to work better for raw veggies or components that do not change character over time. So it's 3.5 stars for the food, but I'm going to give it a 0.5 star bump to 4 since I applaud its mission of healthy eating, adhering to its mission of modernizing Vietnamese food with an emphasis on healthy ingredients and providing fuel for active lifestyles, having excellent high quality packaging, and having a great work staff culture and being open late since the staff has always been high energy and seem to enjoy being there. read more

Good food and a fun place for a quick bite. Didn't expect it to be a walk up (aka no-table) kind of place, but that ended up ok as we just sat outside in the courtyard. read more

Quick service, great food, late hours, good portion sizes. Healing pho: good flavor broth with veggies. The broccolini had a good crunch to it and this was definitely filling.

I'm glad I tried this place! I was walking by and decided to check out the menu. The location is pretty small inside, only a few tables, but there's seating outside in the downtown area. I came in and was the only customer inside, and all the employees were in the back cooking/preparing (maybe for mobile orders/pickups etc), so I wasn't greeted for a few minutes. There was no one working at the front desk, I had to order on a kiosk. This usually is fine, although this was my first time here, so it would have been nice to ask someone questions about the menu. I got the Saigon bowl with chicken which was great! I got sauce on the side, but ended up not even using it. The bowl itself was very flavorful. I don't love runny eggs, but there was no option to change what style egg you got. Also, when I opened my bowl within a few mins of receiving it, the egg was cold (everything else was warm) so maybe the eggs aren't made-to-order anyway. Overall it was yummy and I'd consider coming again! I saw there was some great buy one get one deals on Uber Eats, too. read more

Great portions for the price! I ended creating my own custom bowl for about $12.50, which contains beansprouts, carrots/radish, cilantro, jalapeño, mint, and a few other veggies paired with lemongrass chicken on a bed of rice noodles! The Vietnamese vinaigrette is a sweet fish sauce based sauce that pairs really well with the dish. Utterly delicious. Because it wasn't busy either and I was only there for a short period of time, I was able to park right in front of the restaurant for lunch. Large portions for the price. I was able to finish the bowl. There's also 3 hours free parking if you use their code at the restaurant. read more

It's the perfect option when you're craving those Vietnamese flavors. I'm a big fan of acidic/salt balanced foods. Ordered the Saigon bowl with lemongrass chicken and it's a huge portion size. I could probably divide into 3 meal portions. No extra proteins or additions included. It's a bit pricier than other places I've been to but nonetheless food is tasty, hot and fresh. Placed the order via Uber eats and it arrived in about 30 minutes. Would highly recommend their pho options as well. The ox tail soup is one of my favorites. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't even. The first time I ordered pho on Uber Eats and got the mango dessert for free, it was old and had a strange flavor to it. Yesterday, I ordered some wings and egg rolls and got the strawberry desserts. THEY WERE EXPIRED and almost got food poisoning from it. I guess "free" means expired old stuff. Never again!!! read more

The pho here is amazing and so comforting on a cold day but I tried the rice bowl and could barely eat it unfortunately. For some reason it had a very fishy taste when I had it. All things aside, the staff there are very kind and will definitely come back for the pho !! read more

Warning: if you're vietnamese and grew up eating vietnamese food avoid this place at all cost! Roll play is a sad attempt in modernizing vietnamese food as fast food. I hate giving poor reviews but I just want to be honest. I ordered the noodles and egg roll combo and it was probably the saddest meal Ive had in a long time. For the meal being $18, more than if you were to sit at a restaurant, and to taste like that is just awful. I was STARVING beforehand and was just willing to eat anything and this place was the closest. I was ready to scarf down the noodles but they were unbelievably oily and left your entire mouth feeling oily. Traditionally, this is supposed to be a light and refreshing meal but this was the opposite. I opted to get the pork belly and it was just all fatty pieces and not the good kind. Normally im the kind to not waste any food esp meat but i honestly could not finish it. Sad waste and $18 down the drain, and a hangry customer :( If the owners are reading this, please revaluate your menu and quality control. read more

Shared a banh mi sandwich with black pepper beef steak and sriracha mayo. The egg was whatever, but the french baguette was perfect with the meat and pickled veggies. The real star of the show was the vegetarian egg rolls! Fried to crispy perfection, the fresh carrots, taro, onion, and shallots with the nguoc nam sauce was amazing. I could put away a tray of these, it's so dangerously addicting. The set-up is simple as you order from a kiosk, but the employees are ready to answer any questions. The food is prepared fairly quickly. Many tables were available, with seating even available outside. It was hot when I came in, so I stayed where the AC was and enjoyed the delicious meal. read more

We had a great late night meal of vegan pho and fried rice. I suggest this restaurant, especially late at night.

Absolutely disappointed. My two eggrolls never arrived -- and they were five dollars. They did send the dipping sauce, but no eggrolls. On top of that, the food that did show up was cold, and I had to heat it up myself. Their phone number doesn't even work, so there's literally no way to contact the restaurant about missing items. Uber Eats couldn't help either. In this economy, getting robbed for five bucks is unacceptable. If you order through delivery, be ready to check your bag because they clearly don't. Maybe the experience is different in person, but based on this order, I can't recommend this place at all. read more
