We Were returning from a grand daughter's soft ball game, far from our neighborhood. Question - where to stop for dinner? We remembered a place where we had a nice meal a year ago. Although out of our way, we made the treck back to Viet Aroma a small Vietnamese restaurant. Three years working in VN and a lot of great food memories makes their food a favorite! I ordered a seafood Pho which arrived with lots of shrimp and squid. The vegetables were plentiful and the broth was amazing, so tasty! My wife likes the vermicelli with grilled shrimp, the best we had ever tasted. Service was so quick and pleasant, the place small, but spotless. I remarked that I would return for my Birthday celebration! Although too full, we squeezed in a small cone at a well known nearby ice cream store. read more

I thought I'd try another new vietnamese spot today on my way home from my dentist appointment, saw this place had lunchbox meal deals for a decent price so I ordered online for pickup! I got the chicken satay, and it was reaaaally good! Only 2 pieces but they were really big ones. The peanut sauce was less thick than most places but it's probably one of my favorites I've had. I LOVE the lunchbox meal options! It's a good way to get a somewhat healthy balanced meal with a protein, some jasmine rice, a salad, and a spring roll with peanut sauce all in one without having to order everything separately for 5x as much. I chose the triple ginger box with chicken, and shrimp for the spring roll choice. It was amazing and good portion sizes! read more

First time eating here & should have read the reviews. Started with the fresh summer rolls - rice paper was on the hard side. Ordered the 2 protein vercimelli bowl (chicken & pork) definitely not grilled & under cooked. Italian dressing was literally poured on my pickled carrots/radish. Took 4-5 bites of appetizer & main dish and couldn't stomach the rest. Once you've had authentic VN food from Eden you know how the flavoring should be. I couldn't take pictures of the food I ordered because the nice server kept looking. I definitely would not recommend this place. Food is horrible. read more

Lunch portions were huge for our entire table. My papaya salad with tofu was outstanding--whatever they did with that tofu was delicious! Some of the best I've had. And the waiter was kind and attentive. read more

The food is excellent and Lanny is so welcoming. The atmosphere is very relaxing, my wife and I really enjoyed the Pho and the Teriyaki beef. The fried dumplings are a must try. I highly recommend this trying this if you are looking for outstanding Pho on those days you need something warm and spicy. read more

Rainy days = Pho Days Viet Aroma was on my list of places to try so I placed a pick up order one evening. The person who took my order and checked me out was so kind, and so nice which was definitely a plus. Now to the actual food: + Broth was rich, clean, and tasty! It definitely filled that empty cold spot in my heart. + Meat was tender but there was some weird black spots on our brisket that we have never seen before at other restaurant. + To go order was seriously lacking in green onions and cilantro and the soup container was filled about 3/4th up, which was perfect for our portion but usually you get a full serving at other restaurants. + Prices were a few dollars more expensive than the other spots around town. + Eggrolls and nuoc cham were quite bland Perhaps we ordered the wrong thing here but in terms of pho, I'd rather pull up to an atm and head to Pho 75. read more

I love this unique restaurant in Vienna. It's run by the owner, Lani, who takes pride in offering delicious and fresh food. It's a hidden gem. Make sure you add it to your list of places to try and you will not regret. read more

Second time going to this place. The food wasn't as good as the first time. The service was terrible. We had to ask for napkins 3 times and every time she brought only 2!!!!! We left 10% tips ($7) despite the bad service and the lady who I assume was the owner yelled and humiliated my husband and saying "you have beautiful girlfriend this is how you treat people "?!!! And pushed him to get more money very disrespectfully!!! I have never seen any businesses doing this and giving attitude to the customers for tips ! Never going to go back and she deserved nothing read more

Take down your Christmas decorations. It's almost February. I will NEVER patronize this place again. We were booted tonight because supposedly they had "reached their capacity" at 6 pm on. Saturday night. What does that mean? And why are there four 4-tops and two 2-tops available? Only take out available/ as if I would EVER come here again. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Especially since Vienna rallied around them during the PANDEMIC, which is OVER. We are going to PHO HAI DUONG. Nice and clean and great service. Never again. read more

Food was very bad! I had the pho and when it was brought out to me, I could see that the noodles were from an instant noodle package as they had not separated and melted into the hot soup yet and were still in their packaged shape. Once I got them separated, they were very bad....thin and not like the thicker noodles I normally see in pho. There was very little meat in the soup, probably about three thin slices. Mostly liquid and the instant noodles. Won't be going back. read more

When I crave Viet food and in a crunch for time, I often will come here. They have a pretty extensive menu including traditional Viet dishes to pho. They also have a lunch menu with a good amount of dishes to pick from. The lunch boxes come with a salad, your choice of roll - spring roll or summer, rice and of course, your entree. My favorites are the ginger chicken and the shaky beef. My friend loves their pho - I haven't tried but it looks and smells delicious. Service is good but sometimes understaffed. If it's busy, it can take a bit of time. No biggie, just know that if it's during lunch rush, you can wait a bit. read more

Hands down the best Vietnamese food in Vienna. Great price. Super nice service and quiet atmosphere. Definitely give it a visit

I got pho to go on a cold rainy day! I ordered pho with Rib eye, flank and brisket. The receptionist was very nice and polite! I ordered it at the checkout counter and then sat at the nearest table while they made the order. The aesthetics were dim lighting, with tiling, some plants and the honour shrine worked into the checkout counter. The food didn't take that long to make. I think I waited about 6 minutes for the to-go order. When I got back to work, I unpacked everything in the photo below. The broth was really tasty! The size was really good! I made one pho cooking the meat and then put in the remaining noodles and other ingredients to have a second meal later on shift. I'm a fan for Viet Aroma and will be back! read more

This place is very efficient. And I mean that literally. They keep their overhead low and run this place to stretch every dollar. When we stopped in there was only one person working. As a result, service was slower but our table got the customer service we needed; no more and no less. We were given water to start. No refills. Just enough water in our glasses to finish our meals; no more and no less. The summer rolls were good..not overheaped and stuffed with fresh herbs like I love but...rather..it was all very efficient use of ingredients ..no more and no less. The vermiccelli bowls were exactly the same. My heart is sad that I don't see a heaping pile of mint or cilantro and a nice bowl of sauce...rather..this looks like a tiny amount of food in my bowl. But it was the right portion..no more and no less. The meats were delicious; we had chicken, beef and shrimp and I would do it all over again. And yet despite all this. I can't say that I would love to return here. I didn't enjoy my meal. I don't want to pay for rations. Don't get me wrong; I don't want to be wasteful either. But for $15 a plate I feel shorted. And cheated of the experience. read more

Customer service was so bad. Cashier was so rude.I had to wait 30 minutes for my order(take out) but other customers orders got ready in 10 minutes because they were dining customers! The wood wasn't good enough ! read more

HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THIS PLACE YET? This is a stone's throw from my house and I'm what you might call "a regular." Have struggled to sample much of the menu though because after discovering the Bun special I've been a bit stuck. It's too good to pass up what with the combination of lemongrass beef, fried shrimp/tofu, grilled shrimp, and pork mix over a bed of thin vermicelli rice noodles. Mmmmm. That said, the Pho Sate really hits the spot on a cold winter's day too. All in all, pretty much everything we've gotten here has delighted us... most of it during the last year, of course, has been take-out. The service is exemplary. Probably the friendliest staff around that I've run into. There's another Asian restaurant in the same shopping center with the same service-first family feel... but every time I order it feels like I've come home. After all... sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. And this is one of those places. Cheers! And Bon Appétit! read more

Really good food, really fast. Authentic pho cooked to your specifications. Allergies? No problem. My server was attentive and thoughtful in her recommendations. So many choices, but try the spring rolls: jullienned veg rolled in a rice wrapper was light and a great treat for two. read more

Why do I have to leave Vienna for good Pho? Well because this is the only Pho joint in Vienna and it is not recommended. As previous Yelpers pointed out. This place is run by one grumpy lady who does everything. That in itself is not a major issue but it does affect the food. The Pho is average at best but when it is served with a frown I will much rather drive to Tysons and get a good Pho with a smile. And THEN there are the hygiene issue referred to by Tony G. The Board of Health pretty much pointed out what we expected. Personally we wont eat here again for all the reasons pointed out above. So sad. Come on Pho community help Vienna out and bring a legit Pho to our town!! read more

Viet Aroma - Meh! - Vietnamese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Apology NOT Accepted, however your business needs training on Racial and Cultural Diversity. You took my call that same evening to get an apology at that time as a threat? You also stated you felt threaten by our presence even though we simply inquired about your behavior towards us. I will be reporting you to the appropriate entities. This is America and this type of behavior and excuse is not going to be tolerated! Furthermore you being an immigrant is not an excuse! Neither does it prevent you from acting racist. The appropriate government and county angency will handle this soon. Original Review: The owner is prejudice. I brought my friend here to eat because she has never had Vietnamese food. And it was around 11:15 AM when they just open. The restaurant was open and the air conditioning was not on it was extremely hot and humid inside. I simply asked if they had outdoor dining and the woman yelled "NO!" I just froze and looked at the menu. Then we asked if there was air conditioning? She then yelled this time No"! Rolled her eyes and turned her back. At that point I said "I'm sorry why are so angry" she then started saying then leave and next thing we know she kicked my friend and I out. Again we are in utter shock. I said wow you must be racist she then laughed and quietly said "Please Leave". My friend is Latin, and I am black both professionally dressed. I was extremely embarrassed and we left. read more

Came here one day during the power outage and have always wanted to try it out since it's received stellar reviews. It was in the later evening 8 or 9PM, it was pretty packed since everyone was eating out due to the power outage. Parking was very limited and had to go around a few times to find a spot. Upon entering, they seemed pretty busy. There were only two workers at the time. No one had greeted nor acknowledged us. We continued to stand there and wait a little while longer, still no acknowledgement. One of the customers - regulars, had gotten up from their meal and actually assisted them in cleaning tables to help out. Very kind hearted and sweet but that is also embarrassing to the business in my opinion. I believe we waited nearly 45 minutes or so before being sat. It took a while longer to even place an order as well. By this time we are starving and many items on the menu seemed appetizing. We ended up ordering some Pho and rice dishes. I can say that it is far from authentic. It was very Americanized Vietnamese. The pho was bland and had no flavor. For the price that we paid, I either expected it to taste better or larger portion. I will not be returning and will venture out to falls church instead next time I want authentic Vietnamese. read more

Just stopped by this place to try it, I walked in this woman came from the back went to grab a menu, I informed her that I'll be sitting in this table but before that I'm going to use the restroom, then she replies the restroom is only for customers . I'm going to order but I been holding my self for awhile so she said the restrooms are closed they are not working so I repeated "the restrooms are closed " she said yes and dining in is not available basically kicking me out, so I said thank you and I left and this was my experience in this place. read more

They are the nicest people. The food is excellent. It is a very unassuming place. I have eaten here several times and have liked everything. I am particularly fond of their fresh made limeade or lemon lime drink. So delicious. read more

Another fabulous meal here at Viet Aroma! Had the rockin sampler for an appetizer and it is very well done! Love the g1 where you get to make your own spring rolls! So much fun and fresh & yummy! Also tried the garlic and basil stir-fry! Great flavor and lots of fresh veggies with the chicken, beef and shrimp! The drunken noodles were also yummy! Service was sweet and friendly! read more

Some dishes are more delicious than others. I ordered the rice platter and fish claypot before and they were pretty good. However, I ordered Bun Bo Hue today and it was bad. It lacks all the typical meats for Bun Bo Hue like pig knuckle, blood cube, even Vietnamese ham. The brooth was even more disappointing- basically pho brooth with shrimp paste on the side. The restaurant is better off offering a small lunch menu with good items rather than adding things it can't deliver. read more

Visited Viet Aroma for the first time last week. We arrived shortly after 2PM on a weekday, so there were only a few customers in the restaurant at the time. The waitress immediately greeted us and we ordered our drinks. The thai iced tea was good- not too sweet. We ordered the Rock N Roll sampler to share, the Fantastic Four to make our own rolls, and a Steak Pho. The food came out quickly and tasted very fresh. The pho broth was really delicious and stood out to me compared to other pho places in the area. We will definitely be returning to Viet Aroma! :) read more

Wanted some pho, summer roles and steamed dumplings and found you through Yelp directly. My food was ready as soon as I arrived and it was all filling and delicious. Thank you for having an already put together Pho bowl with the meat, noodles, scallions and cilantro in the bowl with the bean sprouts, jalapenos, limes and mint in a bag and the broth separate. Broth has good flavor and brings the whole soup pho thing together as one! The steamed dumplings were delicious and plentiful and the sauce standard but good. The summer rolls look bigger than normal, they look good but will be a meal for later. Surprisingly even during the pandemic they have what seems like a regular menu. Made for it to be super easy to order online, pay and then pickup. The restaurant is organized and was ready with my food as soon as I entered. They have a nice option to pickup curbside, which is great similar to most takeout restaurants now. Highly recommend a trip to this local establishment. I will most definitely be ordering from this place again. Reasonable prices and tasty food. read more

Every meal is fantastic, prepared with love. Lani seems to me a superwoman--she remembers everyone, and what you like, and who your kids are, and what they like. We've had nearly the entire menu over the past seven years, and keep coming back. What a great place in Vienna village. read more

Worst Viet restaurant ever. This Caramelized Fish Clay Has five pieces fish and three broccolis total, which cost )$16.3. Called the restaurant and they said that's how much they serve this dish. Please do not go there if you have other options. There are lots of good Viet restaurants in the Vienna/ Tyson's area but for sure this one is not one of those. read more

Viet Aroma is in a plaza with a few other restaurants and businesses, but is clearly the star. The staff are so friendly and even remembered us from our visit almost six months ago (and even remembered what we ordered)! The broth is the most flavorful I've had anywhere in Virginia. We had the meatball pho and the pho ga - both just delicious. The accoutrements were great as well though I don't use much. We also had the grilled pork summer rolls. I can't imagine going back and not ordering them a third time. They are just so good. We'll definitely be back! read more
