After browsing online for restaurants in my area, I noticed this place with a 4.5 review! After trying.....Strike 1- The fried chicken was under cooked bloody in the middle.Strike 2- The beef from the noodle bowl was also under cooked.Strike 3- The smell from the meet was absolutely horrible, I don't know if I received a bad batch but this was one of the worst experiences ever. I informed the waiter, he said he will let the owner know but at that point I was done. I will never visit this place again.
Wish chicken pho broth had a littlemore flavour. Also hoisin sauce seems a little watered down.
I'm sad to say that this restaurant wasn't worth going to. It has a huge menu so perhaps are overstretched.
Fast service. They had an extensive menu (not jus Pho). No complaints on food at all, everything was delicious. Prices were very reasonable.
My Wife and I live in the area and have been trying new restaurants! We love the different options to choose from so we’ve set to visit a new eatery each week! Unfortunately we’ve been experiencing harsh responses from quite a few. But we are optimistic and keep trying! I was surprised to be denied the ability to dine in last week considering the place didn’t close for at least another hour! I called the next day to inquire about the dining in closing time and to my surprise they started take out at 9:45pm! We got there at 9:00pm! We decided to order take out and spent $45 on an order of fried rice and two orders of fried shrimp. The food was terrible and I was so upset because I’ve eaten here before so the comparison of the two meals were totally different and it’s despicable!! This place needs to be evaluated immediately. And to the staff of this place, You have no idea who’s visted your restaurant!

YOU MUST READOld rice from the fridge, so hard. This place is going down. I tried to give it many chances by ordering different foods. But they always give me the old stuffs. Really bad.From Rice, to Bun they are always old. They always reheat foods from the fridge . Never again for this place. I will tell all my friends and people about this. I would give less than 1 star if I could.
Bun Bo Hue is one of my favorite soups. Though the portion size was quite large (see my pic), and the price point wasn't awful, the broth was overly watered down, the noodles were too thin (I like thick noodles with Bun Bo Hue), and the cha lua was too soft. Still, the soup wasn't awful, just average, and nowhere near the taste/quality of the lemongrass beef pho (the closest comparison I can find in DC) at Simply Banh Mi.Based on the soup alone, as well as the service (which was great, as the server was very friendly and attentive), I would have given Viet Chopsticks between a 3 and 4 rating. Unfortunately, the banh mi sandwich I got to-go was truly awful, bringing this rating down to a 2. The sandwich bread was barely cut in half, which meant the filling only occupied about 1/3 of the bread space. The bread also was dry and nothing about the filling was interesting and seemed sloppily put together. Growing up in a half Vietnamese family, I'm pretty particular about my Vietnamese food, and I can undoubtedly say this was one of the worst banh mi sandwiches I have ever had.
We tried several time the food there because we really like Vietnamese food, but the prices are too high for the quantity and/or quality of the food. It's $5.95 (before tax and tip) for two fried spring rolls, and $5.95 for two teeny-tiny spring rolls. Last but not least, $13.95 for the chicken fried rice, but the rice is not fried and they use frozen vegetables (they still had the spongy texture, kind of watery inside).
Great food and atmosphere. The service was a little too attentive at first (frequent approaches to the table without our having the chance to read the menu) but overall, a nice experience.
