One of my all time favorite places for pho! The food is amazing and the staff is phenomenal. We have been here many times and have had a great experience each time. Love this place and highly recommend. The only thing that could make it better is if they were open 7 days a week.

Very friendly staff and fast service. Clean and calming environment. The food and boba are always perfect.

Every time I order here, I explicitly ask for NO pickled veggies/pickled veggies on the side. And they ALWAYS manage to stuff the banh mi with (mostly) pickled veggies! What in the…? My husband told me this is like the fifth time already, let’s stop ordering from this place. I completely agree with him. I regret raving about this place to so many people.

Always enjoyed their wintermelon milk tea, couldn't have been happier to do carryout. Even though they were super busy, they were really great. Thanks!

Today I ordered grilled pork and egg over rice. The rice was way overcooked, grilled pork has a weird food additive taste. Only the egg and veggie was right. I couldn't finish my food because it tasted horrible. I am Vietnamese and I know how grilled pork supposed to taste, this restaurant grilled pork marinate with too much food coloring (super bright red) and additives that you can taste it. This restaurant was decent when they first open, now the food quality is bad. I will not eat here again.

I feel bad for everyone who had a so-called bad experience here, but we've been here multiple times and had nothing but amazing food. We've been to all the big pho places around Loudoun County, dine in, take out, delivery, you name it. They're all good, but we've had consistently great pho at both Teabreak locations. True story, first time we had pho here months ago, we came back the very next day because it was that good.The pho broth by itself is liquid gold, even without the extra sauces it's very satisfying and just the right temperature. I had all gau (fatty brisket) and it was pho-nomenal (pun intended, shout out to the actual Phonomenal at One Loudoun). They don't skimp out on meat either, I had what seemed like an endless amount of ultra silky brisket. Even the take out version is amazing, the broth is served piping hot and comes with a large enough bowl to hold everything. The rice noodles were perfectly tender, not rubbery or tough at all. Usually, other place's take out pho don't live up to the sit down version, but not Teabreak's. Best deal on the menu are the pho combos, I got the B2 which includes pho, a summer roll or fried roll, and your choice of bubble tea or juice, all under $20. I always get the Honey B with boba, just perfection with the pho. The Kalamansi juice is kinda like a sweeter, more citrusy lemonade and is very refreshing. Come to think of it, the bubble tea and juices use more "gourmet" exotic ingredients, very different from other bubble tea shop chains so that's a huge plus for me.Also got what is claimed to be one of the most popular items on the menu, the VR1 with grilled pork, along with an extra order of grilled pork. I have to say, it was delicious and perfectly cooked. It kinda reminded me of pork barbecue skewers from the Philippines, savory grilled fatty pork flavor with a slightly charred sweetness. It was fantastic by itself and when dipped in the nuoc cham.Do yourself a favor and give Teabreak a try. Staff is friendly and prices are comparable to other Vietnamese spots in town. Pho is so perfect for colder days, and the vermicelli and rice dishes are sure to be equally satisfying.

I wouldn’t give this place more than 3 stars for average food quality. Definitely had much better Pho and summer rolls at some other Pho restaurants.

Little restaurant, busy during lunch hrs. Food is good.

We ordered 3 items and all had great flavor. Lots of veggies in the summer rolls and the bubble tea was a plus.

Great variety of bubble tea and Vietnamese dishes. We got the grilled pork and pork belly bahn mi sandwiches which were both delicious and, quite frankly, underpriced at $5.99. The bread was soft and crusty and the veggies fresh, with a good portion of meat especially on the grilled pork, which had amazing depth of flavor. The owner (?) is super friendly as well, we will be back!
