Wonderful service - Attentive and friendly…read more Atmosphere- typical Vietnamese restaurant look, nothing stands out, very clean, fairly quiet. Food: Summer roll & spring rolls- yummy. Pho- soup base was delicious; we ordered small and it was SMALL, compared to other restaurants, we can get full out of a small pho, but here we didn't; meat quality was good. Banh mi- not authentic Vietnamese sandwich, Asian style but not Banh Mi. Quail- delicious Papaya salad- refreshing but on the spicy side. Pricing- not bad and not cheap either. This spot is convenient for grab something quick and hearty, but not a top rated Vietnamese restaurant from my perspective and experience.

We stopped at An Loi in Columbia for dinner and had a decent experience overall…read more I ordered the bò kho and thought it was pretty good. The broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender, and it was easily my favorite of the two dishes we tried. We also had the hủ tiếu Nam Vang. It tasted good, but it was noticeably different from the traditional version we're used to. In particular, they used chicken where we would normally expect pork, which changed the character of the dish quite a bit. It wasn't bad, just not the more traditional version we were hoping for. Service was very good. The food came out quickly, and the staff checked on us several times without being intrusive. The restaurant itself is casual and no-frills, but clean and comfortable, and the overall value seemed reasonable. There was nothing particularly wrong with the meal, and the service was a definite positive. We just tend to prefer more traditional Vietnamese dishes, so I'm not sure An Loi would be our first choice when we're looking for Vietnamese food in the area.

I got the #10 added spice and bean sprouts and a Vietnamese coffee. I went to the bathroom for 2 minutes and my food was waiting which was not a good sign. The broth had no real flavor or depth the spice was nice tho, the noodles tasted mealy not too pleasant and the meat was a bit tuff. To top it off I never got my coffee which I really needed for the drive home, I had about 8 bites paid for my food and left. Bathroom rating: 4/5 it was no soap

Didn't plan on lunch but felt the need to take a break, so I followed along past the laundromat till my feet hit the curb outside. Didn't plan on just 'pho', I'm more the lemongrass w/beef and so on. But the soup hit the spot, and so did the iced coffee. Seating's casual and clean. Only two people working the tables and cashier counter. Wait was OK Did I enjoy myself? Yeah, sure. My one (minor) gripe is that the menu could've been a little clearer. it seemed more ala carte, so I wound up getting an extra side of noodles. No worries, we still managed to knock it down.

I came in, placed my order but didn't have the friendliest encounter with the cashier. Didn't get a welcoming vibe at all. I asked for mine to be extra hot and he said "can't do that!" The place was clean and had lots of diners. I got the no. 2 (well done brisket). I asked for extra jalapenos and I was charged for it. Only 50 cents but still. My go to location would never. My order was ready within a few minutes. Got home, put it together, but the meat lacked flavor and I just didn't enjoy it. The broth was just ok. Not for me and I won't be back!

Good overall. Best thing is they do *not* overcook the rice noodles, which is great! Several places…read morearound here I think overcook it, and they do not. The pho broth is good. Summer rolls and lemon grass port with rice is also good. For all items though, the portion sizes seem a little smaller than other vietnamese restaurants. If you're really hungry, you may want to order more or go to another spot with bigger portions. Lots of people visit, which is a good sign.

Was excited to try Pho Van as I haven't yet been able to find a solid Vietnamese place in the area…read more Smaller than average portions and too little meat / poor noodle to meat ratios; taste was mediocre. Service was just alright as well. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd come back.

Barely 5 minutes later, our fresh spring rolls were on the table. It did feel like mostly shredded lettuce but it was still refreshing. The peanut sauce was pretty good. We were half way through the spring rolls when the pho came out. The broth was flavorful. Not the strongest I've had but pretty good. I got a regular size P7 and thought the meat to noodle ratio was pretty good. Overall, pretty good pho for the area. I would come back.

I'm really excited about this new Vietnamese spot in Columbia! The first thing that stood out to me…read morewas the colorful floral decor--it adds such a lively and welcoming touch to the space and makes the fast-casual setting feel warm and inviting. We ordered the chicken pho and the beef pho with steak, brisket, and tendon. I appreciated the generous amount of meat toppings in the bowl, which made the pho feel hearty and satisfying. The soups were flavorful and comforting overall. Personally, I tend to prefer a slightly lighter beef broth, but that's just my own taste preference. The service was excellent--everyone was kind, attentive, and the food came out quickly. It made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, this is a great addition to the Columbia dining scene, and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.

I even brought my best friend here, and now she eats here on a regular basis. The food is that good. There is plenty of seating, so we have never have had to wait for a table, even at lunch time. Service is always super quick. We usually start out with some type of roll, and the dipping sauce served with the rolls is excellent. Then I always get chicken pho. It is so good, with plenty of chicken and noodles, and it is a huge portion. I love that they provide plenty of accoutrements to go with the pho: Thai basil leaves, limes, jalapeños, and bean sprouts. My niece has become addicted to their pickled onions, and can't eat her rolls without them, but I'm passing on that trend for now. This is a great spot for Vietnamese food, and I'm sure I'll return my next visit to Maryland.

An Loi serves edamame, so I called Pho Dat Thanh to ask if they served it as well because it's one of our favorite appetizers. The lady on the phone said to me "No we don't serve edamame." Which I would have accepted. But she then adds with a condescending tone "This is a Vietnamese restaurant honey..." like I was stupid for asking. She talked to me like I was dumb and now we definitely don't feel welcome there or will be coming in. There was no need for that statement I was just asking. And it's not crazy to ask when another Vietnamese restaurant exists down the street that serves edamame.

It's lomein or fried rice, with an appetizer (crab Rangoon, egg rolls, or rocket shrimp) and a Vietnamese coffee for $20. They have a soft opening discount of 10%. That was a nice surprise.
