We've been coming here for over a year now and we love the food! Our 4 year old requests this place when it's his turn to decide on dinner. We haven't had anything bad on the menu- the pho is great and it's a large portion, the spring rolls are crispy and flavorful, and my husband has recently been ordering the caramelized black pepper pork. The service is friendly and quick! Always helpful with suggestions if we want to try something new. The decor and drawings on the wall are cute and the restaurant is super clean! read more

Stopped in here on Easter Sunday. It's a nice and clean restaurant. Service was amazing and everyone was so attentive. I think every single person who worked there popped out to say hello and see how the food was. Which was really nice. Here's what we ordered with description and rating. Beef stir fry with mixed veggie. Beef with veggies in a brown color gravy. This was delicious. The veggies were so fresh. It was a great size and good ratio of meat to veggie. Caramelized black pepper Swai fish fillet in cast iron pot. This was also fantastic. The fish was tasty and fresh. The sauce with it was so flavorful. It came with a side white rice. Basil garlic fries, these were good and had a good flavoring. I think they were a bit over cooked a 1/3 of them were too crunchy and oily. Papaya salad with shrimp (on side). This wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. It just need a bit more fish sauce I think. Great potion size though. Fried rice with shrimp, delicious! It was a little charred and buttery. A great portion as well. Good size shrimps and flavorful. Crispy spring rolls, we're so tasty. Nicely fried and packed with a good filling. Yellow curry, with no meat per my request. This was my least favorite. It was lacking in flavor. That may have been because I requested no meat? Not sure. I had to add chili oil and soy sauce to season it up. read more

The restaurant was beautiful and the staff cheerful and welcoming. Had a hankering for fried rice in the area we were grocery shopping and this place popped up. Worthy of 5 stars! Our rice dishes were hot and flavorful! The chili sauce on the table added the punch we like. While the tempura shrimp we could make at home, it was perfect, and the garlic Basil fries were amazing!!! The garlic was roasted just right and the fried Basil leaves we could not do without-- they made the app really pop with flavor. Creative and delish appetizer! We came at an awkward hour-- right before dinner rush hour when a staff eats a meal before all heck breaks loose. We were still well tended to by all. We would drive from Reston to eat here. Finally, the Thai iced tea and hot jasmine tea were outstanding beverages. Yay! We have a new favorite restaurant! read more

Dine-in, Sep 18, 2021, outdoor seating. Well, this place used to be an old Vietnamese restaurant but closed during COVID. It's finally reopened as a new restaurant with a new name, new decor, new dishes, and new everything. Food wise, it's pretty good. We only had pho, but I can concur that the normal pho got some good soup, portion is also generous. I had a different kind of pho called beef spicy lemongrass soup. I had the best of the kind spicy lemongrass soup in Florida once, and it haunted me, it was so good I was having a hard time to find pho in my home turf. The spicy lemongrass rice noodle soup I have here is the closest one I have compare to my Florida dream pho, with delicious, flavorful yet not spicy soup plus sliced beef and pork. The only compliant I have about the soup was that the pork feet is not as flavorful as the beef in the soup, probably stewed separately and dumped in the soup. Given the texture of pork feet, certain audience may not like it. I have given my advice to the waiter and I still recommend the pho. Service wise, this place definitely needs improvement. Not that the waiter or waitress are rude or anything - they are nice people, but they are simply really short handed, I mean really really short handed. VietFire posted hiring ad on the door and I sincerely hope they get their headcount soon, else it may hurt their new business precisely when they need good word of month the most. Overall, I rate most restaurants based on food alone, so VietFire is a 5 stars in my book. read more

Very good food and nice atmosphere! Was in town for work staying at hotel next door and walked to check it out. I was not disapponted!!

Have missed our go to vietnamese restaurant after it closed in Lansdowne. Always a challenge trying to get vegetarian options, not this place. Whole veggie section. Tried their veggie fried rice which was very tasty and huge portions. Spring roll was also good and larger than usual. Service was great. Definitely come back to try other veggie options. Nice dining area. What is it with Asian restaurants and TV's going with videos all the time? read more

Viet Fire is a new authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Ashburn. The food and service were great. We tried a couple different appetizers and entrees from their menu and everything taste delicious. Only issue we had was our fresh squeezed drinks took a bit to come out and the white rice was a bit dry like it was leftover from the day before. Other than that we had a good experience here and I would recommend anyone that wants good authentic Viet food to dine here. read more

Food was exceptional and service was amazing. Pho was perfect, one of the best I've ever had, and the Hot Iron Rice Pot was unique and super tasty. Service was top notch.

I stopped by maybe 15 minutes before the closing of the restaurant and the owner showed nothing but love! The pho was absolutely amazing! It was extremely hot and very delicious! The portion size is normal but the flavors are spectacular! The ambulance of the restaurant is beautiful! He said he opened up during Covid and he's loved it ever since! His passion for the restaurant business really show shows in the food quality! I WILL be going over and over again! read more

Food was good. Had chicken banh mi. Service was normal and friendly. Price is okay. Restaurant seems clean. Needs improvement - spoon with paper stuck to it and plate that was not clean. Make me wonder if these things are not clean what else is not. Also the basket holding the sandwich the sides seem moldy. Overall 3.5 stars read more

When we visited this wonderful restaurant, we were first impressed with the incredibly warm, congenial atmosphere and ambience. A beautiful girl, Mei patiently answered questions about the menu. We were also able to meet the owner, Thi, a US Army veteran who also was very impressive as a very accomplished, hard working young man. Oh, by the way...the FOOD IS AWESOME!!! Please visit and enjoy the best of Thai cuisine and the best customer service experience anywhere!!! read more

This place is delicious! We visited for the first time on a rainy Saturday afternoon; the perfect weather for pho. Since it was our first time, we asked the waiter for recommendations and suggested the brisket pho and the pan-fried rice cake as a starter. We also ordered the pork sausage rice pot. Here's the run down: * pho: the broth was very clean, flavorful and small portion was filling with lots of noodles as well. The meat was super tender. * rice cake: the waiter suggested we add the veggies to the side sauce and then place on the cake. Great suggestion! The rice cake was crispy and a pretty big portion, which is perfect for sharing. * pork rice pot: lots of veggies, the pork sausage was crispy and flavorful We will definitely be back! read more

The food was good. The restaurant is very clean. Bathroom is very clean. I know the price is going up everywhere, so to me the price here is reasonable for lunch special. I will come back and bring my family next time. The reason i gave 4 stars and not 5, because the service was kind of slow. read more

Went here with my daughter the other night. I ordered the pork banh mi sandwich. It was good but on the smaller side. My daughter got the regular sized chicken pho. The portion size was larger than your average pho place. However, I thought the broth was pretty bland. I also thought the prices were a tad expensive. Thought about ordering some crispy egg rolls, but at $6 for two, we decided to pass. Our bill was still around $30 for a sandwich, bowl of soup, and a couple sodas. read more

Fabulous surprise to find an authentic style Vietnamese restaurant in Loudoun County it's a must try.

The pho ga is some of the best I've ever had. The combo (appetizer-entree-drink) is a great deal for lunch (or anytime).

Came in for a late lunch during the work week. #35 pho has all the meats; delish! Broth and meat cuts are top quality, the best in the area. Papaya salad was also very good, nice big portion with shrimp chips on the side and just a bit of spice. Service was efficient and super friendly. Will be back!!! read more

Viet Fire Kitchen - Best pho in the area! - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

This was the worst pho I've had in a very long time. Absolutely no flavor to the broth. Would never order it again. I also ordered the spring rolls which were a joke. The lettuce wasn't even authentic lettuce that's usually in a spring roll, it was shredded romaine. If you're not picky on having a good hot, flavorful pho this would be fine; but if you actually like taste to your food, not the best. read more

Great food, attentive service, nice classy interior. Recommend to others and we'll be back again!

Viet Fire Kitchen - Seafood pho + 55 - Chicken Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

The new favorite viet restaurant in the area. Food is authentic, flavorful, and fresh. Restaurant is new and clean with a nice aesthetic. Should've taken more pics but here's the rundown of some of my fav dishes today: 1. Bo Tai Chanh (beef in lime salad/sauce) - basically thinly sliced beef ceviche style where it's cooked by the acidity of lime juices in herbs served over salad 2. Pho Ap Chao Thap Cam (pan fried noodles) - got the combo style which comes with veggies, shrimp, beef and chicken. Noodles are so fresh. Sauce is just right 3. Shrimp Fried Rice (com chien tom) - perfectly fried. Rice was fresh. Pieces were crisped perfectly in a wok before being tossed with shrimp. Perfect texture and flavor 4. Hot (Cast) Iron Pot Rice - let it sit so the rice can crisp on the bottom before eating. So good and the only place in the area that offers iron pot rice. Other places use clay pots which don't crisp up the same 5. Try their salted lemon and passion fruit drinks. Think they use a jasmine tea as a base so it's extra fragrant! Definitely give it a try! read more

Friendly staff. Food was fresh and delicious. If anything it could have been a tad more flavorful with salt or added fish sauce but still great. The bun Bo que was good but could have used more lemongrass seasoning. The bot chien was super crispy and delicious. So hard to find in NoVa and it was flavorful crispy and perfectly chewy. The pho ap chao was so crispy , get the seafood one. read more

Surprised with the 5 star reviews. The caramelized fish was too sweet and lacked flavor. The clay pot chicken has very little seafood and veggies. The noodles and chicken curry were just average. The only saving grace were the tea drinks. Overall not as good as the other reviews suggest. read more

FINALLY, GOOD VIETNAMESE IN LOUDOUN! Loudoun has always had a several Vietnamese restaurants which made decent Pho and were just OK at everything else. So whenever I got a craving for good Vietnamese, it required a trip to Eden Center in Falls Church. After 3 visits to Viet Fire Kitchen, I can say that trek to Eden Center is no longer necessary. The hot iron pot rice dishes are nice and well executed. Their grilled lemongrass beef was tender and flavorful. I was particularly impressed by their Seafood Crispy Noodle dish because the seafood was perfectly cooked (not overcooked like most Vietnamese restaurants). The lychee tea was outstanding. Make sure to order a pitcher of that for your table to share. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the Pho. But to their credit, the manager said she is planning on improving the recipe because she isn't satisfied with it either. I'm impressed with the owner who obviously has high standards and pursues excellence. It's a good bet this place will be even better in the future. read more

Was looking to eat good vegetarian pho without having to go all the way to loving hut when we yelp landed on this place. We were there on a Sunday evening and the place was starting to get busy around 5:30 pm. We saw a bunch of golfers showing up after playing the nearby golf course (1757) and it seemed to be the owner is a golfer as well. We got seated quickly- beer selections were somewhat limited so passed on and drank some tea while ordering and waiting. We ordered the fried spring rolls, vegetarian pho and the veggie cast iron pot. They don't do customized spice levels but they have sauces ( chili oil,sriracha) at the table so you can move the spice needle up on your own. While we were waiting one of the staff that talked to us said they make the best vegetarian Pho in the side of the town. The food that came out was pretty good and tasty. Pho was very good ( but probably a close second to loving hut ) and the cast iron pot was great as well. Overall I liked the food and I am glad to see that they have so many vegetarian choices here. Absolutely worth coming for sure! As it relates to the service. It was decent but they were super busy. It looked like a family run business and the lady that was serving us was literally in diner dash mode through the time we were there. Hence, we did get our spoons and forks slightly late. I am somewhat kind her by not taking a star for the service challenges primarily because the lady was very apologetic and was very cheerful personality. I suggest the owner look at staffing and fix it because I think it is only a matter of time it it is not fixed for them to get some not so good ratings just because of lack of help. It is always a good sign when you see folks that are of the same country as the food eat there. That was certainly the case here. Overall a great place for Vietnamese vegetarian food out here in the iad corridor read more

I stopped by here for a dinner date and was not disappointed. The establishment is fairly new but their food is exquisite. I only eat halal meat and unfortunately, a lot of pho restaurants do not offer either a full veggie option or a good hearty broth base with the veggie option. Viet Fire offers a full vegan pho bowl but what sets it aside is the flavor and creativity used. There were 3 types of tofu (regular, crispy and infused) and I've never had anything like it. The fact that I was able to enjoy all 3 types instead of playing pick n choose was such a delight. Oh and that infused tofu? Impeccable. In addition, the broth was super hearty and dancing with deep flavors. Interior wise, it's a cute setting for a lunch date or hangout. All in all, the food was very enjoyable and the vibes were super friendly. Will definitely return for the delicious pho! read more

I ordered the wrong thing - my fault, because I'm used to spring rolls not being fried. I wanted the raw wrap with shrimp inside. Not sure what the call it here... maybe the summer roll? There's one listed on the menu. Had to turn mt phone sideways to read it, but that's vegetarian. There's a picture of it that clearly shows shrimp. So my bad on that, but buyer beware if you're also expecting a roll that's not fried. That said, what i got, which was probably standard fare, was delicious. It also came with a garnish of some lettuce, carrots and onion, which I enjoyed as well. I also ordered the beef Banh Mi sandwich. If you're expecting jalapenos, you're good, and maybe can ask for more. I'm not into hot, so once I hit one of the seeds, i had to take them out. I could probably have handled them - or removed the seeds -- but they give me hiccups and I didn't want them to affect my experience with the sandwich. There was only one cucumber slice that I saw on the half I ate. It's a big sandwich, maybe 8 inches long. More cucumber would have been good. And even some of those carrots served with the spring roll. The beef was tasty, and the bread was on point! Those, and the freshness of the ingredients - which they nailed - are key to making this excellent. The third thing i ordered were fried bananas. I didn't expect much from these because I was raised on fried bananas (southern US cuisine) as well as learned ti love and make fried maduros (ripe plantains), but thought I'd throw them in there. The price ($5) surprised me, being so high. There were 6 good size strips, in that they were cut lengthwise, and were each about half a banana long. They were coated in something prior to frying, and then sprinkled with sesame seeds afterwards. These were very good, best I've had in a restaurant. Far above more oriental restaurants' attempts. Not as good as at home, but delightful. Mind you, i also took these to-go, so items suffered a bit from a good steaming in containers before I dug in. They might be better than homecooked if freshly served. The decor was beautiful- wonderful orchids near the entrance and what looked like a bar, but might be a work area, toward the back. Either they're just fresh or someone has a green thumb. These were exquisitely maintained orchids, resplendent with flowers. There are also 2 tvs going, one showing scenes of a city in Vietnam, and the other scenes of the coast where unique rocky lush mountains fall into the sea amid beaches. Gorgeous! On one wall is drawing of the new golden bridge built near Danang in 2018 for pedestrians, that features a gold bridge threading between the mountains and the moss-covered rock hands of "God" that's quickly become a popular spot, and probably a UNESCO world heritage site one day. In another wall is a map of Thailand. I will have to order those summer rolls with shrimp tomorrow. read more

My daughter and I went for lunch. It was delicious! The spring rolls were filled with actual meat and fresh vegetables, not just stuffed with glass noodles. We had the fish sauce wings. They were so plump, big and juicy yet so very crispy. The beef hot pot was served in a piping hot cast iron dish with crispy rice, tender beef, fresh veg and quail eggs. It was so good, especially how the rice crusted on the bottom. We also had the lemon grass pork with vermicelli noodles. Again, the vegetables were so fresh and perfectly cooked along with the pork itself flavored deliciously with lemon grass. Fantastic lunch with plenty of leftovers for later, all at a reasonable price. And served by friendly people. read more
