I love this place!!! Everytime I crave pho, this is my go-to spot. Everything I've had from here has been delicious!! The broth is great, the appetizers are good, and the house combo is a dish you HAVE to try. The workers are always the nicest, food comes out SO quick, and it's a cozy vibe. I love it. Feels very family owned and oriented. read more

I got the combination pho dac biet ($16) and a viet iced coffee ($5). Very good broth, on the savory salty side. Meat quality tasted good, it was a fair portion. Service is typical for a traditional Vietnamese restaurant, you come for the food not necessarily the service (just the bare minimum which can be good). A little more pricier for the food compared to other viet places but still quite good. Food(50%): 8.7 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 6.5 Overall: 8.1/10 read more

Service can be quick. Chicken skewers, spicy yellow curry chicken, and sesame chicken were alright. The shrimp garden roll comes in 2 pieces. It was okay. The combination pho was okay as well. The dishes had flavor but not as flavorful as one would expect. The boba/pearl shakes here are fine. Overall, food is decent. I've been here three times and can say it is pretty consistently 3/5 for me. read more

I really enjoyed Vietnam One. The food and service were great. The portions were good and the tofu & pork were cooked perfectly. I got the pork rice paper rolls and the tofu vermicelli bowl. I would say this spot is comparable with some of the best Vietnamese spots in the area! I highly recommend! read more

Food is authentic Pho, Very fast service. Came with sprouts and lime wedge like it supposed to. They nailed it as they should because the servers and owners appear to be Vietnamese. Take out was done correctly as well, they separated broth from noodles. Definitely a repeat.. read more

The food is delicious and consistent in flavor. It's our restaurant when we want Vietnamese cuisine .

We love this place, it's the best Vietnamese food we've found in Richmond. Standouts are the Vietnamese yellow pancake, chicken with vermicelli, the garden rolls and the spring rolls. Eat in or take out. I'm going back there tomorrow! read more

Wanted to grab some Vietnamese cuisine before hitting the road and stumbled upon Vietnam One. The place was packed, a very good sigh this place was going to be good! We started off with some summer rolls, quite delicious and paired with a tasty peanut sauce. I ordered the pho special. Flavorful broth, a truly fantastic bowl of pho! My son ordered the com tam with pork. He said it was excellent! Definitely give this place a try and the prices were not bad either! read more

Two stars for not very good food but good service. The only food which was decent was the Vietnamese spring rolls. Good flavor. I ordered the shrimp summer rolls and had one of them. It didn't taste fresh and had a little bit of an odd smell. I had already ordered the chicken noodle stir fry dish to go and it was also not good. It also had a weird smell/taste to it. Tried to doctor it up at home but still put off by it. Don't live in the area but frequent the area and will not return! read more

Perfect pho restaurant. Food came quick, pho was absolutely incredible, and the Thai tea was the best boba tea I've ever had. I don't write many yelp reviews but had to do one for this place. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Richmond. read more

This used to be my favorite place for vermicelli but I recently popped in to get lunch to go for a friend and I ordered the V2(chicken vermicelli) and V8(house grill vermicelli that's shrimp, beef and chicken)with the crispy roll. I was so excited to eat that i didn't take pictures here's my disappointment. The meat were not grilled they were either steamed quickly fried and slathered and sauce they were also sliced to the size of the palm of my hand it used to be More bite size and since I got it to go, I had to use my chopsticks to pull it apart and shred the meat to a bite-size piece. There was very little lettuce, no cucumber and no carrot, but there were a couple of huge chunks of raw onion. The fish sauce was very bland. There was no garlic in it. No chili flakes. Maybe I need to actually eat it there and not get it to go to get a better dish made. .. now the iced coffee was as great as I remembered... read more

Loved the food here for quality and price. The service was very quick for Xmas Eve, and all the other diners seemed content. I had the fried curry noddles with chicken which exceeded my expectations. Next were spring rolls and deep fried wontons - also quite good. I wouldn't say this is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been, but certainly it ranks high for Richmond. I'd strongly recommend if someone wants simple but delicious food. read more

I really love this place and have for many years. The price increases have been ridiculous though. I cannot justify paying close to $15 for a bowl of Pho, when there are better, more affordable options blocks away. IYKYK read more

My favorite pho in RVA! By far the most flavorful. The vermicelli dishes are awesome too. Highly recommend.

Decent Vietnamese restaurant offers most of the traditional dishes. The pho noodle is thinner than I expected and less meat inside than some other places but the flavor is still very good. Ordered a side of lemongrass grilled pork it's very delicious. read more

Their grilled meat dishes are excellent, one of the best I've had! Succulent, flavorful and savory with a hint of sweetness. I have tried their lemongrass pork, shrimp and they are delicious. Most of the dishes come with broken rice, lettuce, pickled radish and carrot, cucumber and fish sauce. I do wish the portions were a little bigger, but as a whole we normally feel satisfied after the meal. I have tried their Pho Tai before, and it was ok, not the most flavorful, but not as good as their grilled meat dishes. Service always fast and the tables are nicely spread out for social distancing. read more

My best friend's family was in town, and we wanted to grab pho. There's a lot of competition here with very similar menus, so we judge the best place off the broth. Let me tell you, this is seriously the best pho I've had in RVA. The broth is so much more elevated than the other places I've been. You can actually smell and taste the spices, the richness of it. I was seriously refreshed. On top of that, they were nice and efficient, which is always a plus for word of mouth places like these. Will be back again and soon! read more

I was there about 25 minutes and left without eating. Not sure what happened. They were definitely off their game. There were two people waiting for a table in front of me. They got seated within 5 minutes. Another table opened up near the door, but I didn't want to sit there because it was freezing so someone else took it. I finally got seated and then never saw anyone after that. It's like I disappeared. Other people got service, but not me. So I left and went to one of the other half dozen pho places right in this area. Got in and got out with a hot, fast lunch. I don't have time for that on a work day at lunch. read more

Some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever had!! And that isn't even an exaggeration. The pho- incredible. The vermicelli noodle bowls - incredible. Crispy spring rolls - incredible. And the staff is wonderful! Quick and polite. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! We got recommended it by our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. We had the egg rolls and salt and pepper wings for apps, which were crispy and fresh and delectable. The true glory was in the pho and bahn mi though. We both had grilled pork and the flavors were outstanding! We will come back to Richmond just to eat here. Yum!! read more

The Pork and shrimp broken rice was yes yes good! We also had the fried dumplings, chicken potstickers and shrimp spring rolls. All delish! Will return to try their pho because their prices are great and the candy where you pay is really good too! read more

Three words: Cockroach in soup. This ended the meal for my friend and me. Of course, it did right? These things can happen, but the owner's response was off the mark. She apologized and said it'd never happened before, rather unconvincingly so. Then she only comped my friend's meal. Not the appetizer that we stopped eating immediately. Not my meal which I stopped eating immediately. We got Lee's afterwards so had to pay for two meals that night. That is not customer service. *Update: The owner reached out and did provide a refund. read more

Came here for carry out. Ordered two Bahn Mi. I noticed that they only serve grilled pork here and it is about seven dollars each which is quite expensive. The store next to them which I think is owned by the same people offers more options and it's only four dollars. I was told it would take only 10 minutes I waited about 25 minutes just for two buns I think it is quite ridiculous at how long it took to make such a simple meal. read more

I haven't been to this restaurant in the longest time, and there's a lot of change that have happened. I remember the light fixture used to be in red and blue. I'm glad it's not there anymore. There's new wall art with food plaster everywhere that looks nice. The chair used to have cushion, not sure why they would remove that and put one without. Anyways, I decided to try their pho, which is the main reason why I'm there. The server there was friendly, she didn't order our food as another guy did, but he was kind as well. The pho didn't take long to come out even though it was a busy day. I tried the broth with my spoon as I always do to taste the flavor. I was very disappointed in this broth as it lacked flavor and I can tell there was just way too much MSG in the broth that was overpowering to my taste buds (I'm sensitive with MSG, it makes me super weak and tired instantly so I know.) I like how they gave a lot of noodles, but I definitely wasn't a fan of the pho itself. Now I remembered why I haven't visited this restaurant in awhile and I probably won't again because there's many great ones out there that are not too far from here. The service was kind and attentive and wait time for the food didn't take long and they do give a lot, I just had better elsewhere. It just wasn't for me. read more

Vietnam One - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My nearly good as usual. We typically get take out but this last time gives us pause about continuing to eat there. The grill platter which has always been a favorite was lacking a few items: they left out the beef and onion rolls, there was no basil, carrot or lettuce and only two small slices of cucumber. This dish comes with rice paper for rolling but was missing too many ingredients so we didn't bother making rolls. The curry noodles with chicken was pretty bland and had mostly vegetables and very little chicken. The pork spring rolls were void as usual. read more

I was looking around for a bahn mi sandwich and I found this place. They have two different ones chicken and pork. The picture is of the pork. Also had the seafood combination pho. Had some Bbq pork rolls but those were gone before I could snap a picture. Overall it's a nice environment and friendly staff and good food. Delicious Southern Vietnamese style Pho is what they serve . The broth for this beef pho was flavorful and delicious. I found that I completed the meal without even thinking of using any side sauces. I ordered P1 "Pho Diet Diet" featuring steak, flank, tripe, and beef meatballs. read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area! They have the best vegan pho I've tried.

On my never ending quest to try all the pho in Richmond, my fiancee and I ended up eating at Vietnam 1 tonight. There were some highs and lows of the meal, but all in all it was pretty good. Note that my review is based mostly on the pho, so if Vietnam 1 has the best BBQ plates and other dishes, I apologize in advance for tarnishing the star rating. --Food: I ordered the Pho Tai Chin (beef pho with steak and well done brisket) and a Salty Plum drink. My fiancee got the Com Thit Nuong (BBQ pork on broken rice). -Salty Plum: I'll start on a high note. For anyone who hasn't had a salty plum drink before, picture it this way: You just take a drink of water, just to realize that it's salt water from the ocean! But wait! Instead of that gross salty ocean aftertaste, you have a pleasant and slightly fruity plum taste in your mouth. What's this? Small pieces of plum fruit at the bottom as well? Delicious! That's basically how it is. Get it. It's great. -Pho: Vietnam 1's pho comes with all of the normal fixings that you find at other pho places with sriracha and hoisin sauce readily available. The broth was a bit darker but still tasted great and the steak had a nice flavor. The problem I have is that the brisket was super fatty, almost to the point of being "crunchy". I get that brisket is fatty, but the other four places I've had pho in RVA have had non-crunchy brisket. My other problem is that the noodles were all clumped together. They tasted fine, but they almost formed a single entity instead of individual noodles. -BBQ Pork Broken Rice: My fiancee said that this was very good, and it came with a lot of rice, more rice than the others she has tried. --Cost: The above 3 items came to about $18. For the amount of food we got, it seems like a pretty good price. --Atmosphere: The inside of Vietnam 1 is rather plain and spacious. While that might sometimes be a bad thing, it works. The tables are nicely spaced and there are plenty of them. --Service: The staff was nice, food came out quick, and our water was filled before we ran out. No complaints. --Overall: Don't get me wrong, Vietnam 1 was still good. If I were to come here again and get pho I'd skip the brisket as the chewy and crunchy fat was really offputting. The clumpy noodles weren't my favorite either, but at least they tasted good. All in all it wasn't bad, but with all the other pho options in RVA, there are a handful of other places I'd go first. read more

One of my go to places for pho in Richmond. The broth is amazing. Rich flavor, they give plenty of noodles and protein to go with the broth. Depending on the day the restaurant can fill up pretty quickly. It isn't too loud even when it is full. Definitely worth giving a try if you are a pho fan. read more

My go-too Vietnamese resturant in Richmond, VA. I have to say, this place is better than any pho I've had in the northern Virginian area. Their broth is flavorful with a considerable amount of meat. I also tried their broken rice, and my girlfriend who is viet, says the broken rice pork chops are as the ones in Vietnam. I definitely would recommend this place over Pho So 1. read more

Pho So 1 has always been my go to so I might have been comparing the two while I was eating but good pho. The broth lacked a little flavor. It tasted mostly like the basil and cilantro they sprinkled on, but I liked it. It was the perfect noodle to broth ratio. The crispy rolls weren't as good as I had expected. I had huge chucks of carrots in mine. The vegetarian crispy rolls had a really weird flavor, I would definitely get the egg rolls instead of veggie! I stopped going to Pho So 1 because of the dirtiness, but Vietnam 1 visibly looked really clean, aside from the floor not being swept, and well decorated. The pictures of food on the wall is a great way to get hungry before your meal. read more
