Service was quick and efficient.
Compared to the other pho places in the area price wise it's the most economic.
Compared to the pho places in the area though the pho has the least combinations of meats. The meat and broth is also quite bland.
I got the flank and brisket. The bowl was super light on the brisket and the flank was dry.
Overall, the food was compared to others was the real let down.
Recently, my sense of taste brought me to Pho Char once again. On a quiet Thursday night, curiosity took control and we made the decision to try it.
We were welcomed by an atmosphere that was almost Zen-like when we arrived. But because it was the middle of the week, I was willing to overlook the seating area's appearance of a ghost town as a potential warning sign.
We ordered a variety of foods, including fried rice with vegetables (we asked for Thai spicy), summer rolls, and dumplings. A crisp and energizing bite like the summer roll, which made a commendable debut, would be ideal on a hot summer day. The dumplings, on the other hand, were an underwhelming supporting act and had a curiously store-bought performance flavor.
The combination fried rice, the pièce de résistance, was a visual spectacle but sadly tasteless. It came in an oddly shaped bowl and featured shreds of chicken breast and enormous shrimp. The culinary group, though, fell short of expectations. The shrimp, despite their size, lacked flavor, and the chicken was as flavorless as a cardboard cutout. Richer flavors of chicken thighs and smaller, more flavorful shrimp would have greatly enhanced the dish. Ironically, the star of the show was the rice itself, whose perfectly aged texture hinted at the use of day-old rice.
In a previous trip, the pho also failed to impress me because it lacked flavor, just like the fried rice did. While Pho Char checks all the right boxes for a calm atmosphere, its food selection falls short. It resembles a beautifully wrapped gift that is disappointing when unwrapped. Unfortunately, Pho Char is still a melody that falls flat.
One of the best Pho places we have found. The Pho Char was very nice and clean. Staff were efficient and polite. We had summer roll which I love, fresh and not sticky. Not keen on peanut sauce but Siracha helped with that. I ordered combination Teriyaki with salad and rice. Really liked that too. Rice I don’t eat. My hubs said it was good. Big pot of Jasmine tea. Oh happy day. This is probably the only place I have been to where the food looked like the pictures in the menu. Impressed. Prices are great. Definitely not over priced. Will be going back again.
Ok so we’ve dined at this restaurant twice now in the span of four days. The food is very good snd I highly recommend it. However, I had to downgrade a five star rating to three stars due to service quality and bathroom cleanliness. Although the bathroom is largely clean, the smell of sewage was overbearing. Additionally, we can’t help to notice that the service is very awkward and slightly rude. They never look you in the eyes and when they serve you, they do it so aggressive and impersonal. I’m a few instances they set down your food and run away without asking if you need anything. They even tossed the check at my table as it landed and slid on the table. I may visit again for the quality of food but I feel like they don’t appreciate our patronage and would rather we didn’t come in. If you like Vietnamese pho, this place is great. However, don’t expect service with a smile. I think they’ve become used to the convenience of not having to be cheerful and blaming it on Covid.
I would give this place zero stars if I could. I walked in and sat at the front because two people were in front of me. The lady at the front desk gave the guy his order. She then asked the lady after him about her order. I stood up to get her attention . She then proceeded to ignore me and sat down to eat. She didn't even greet me! The lady in front of me saw this horrible service and tried to call the lady. She just sat there eating. I left the establishment and went Pho Saigon and received phenomenal service.
About 1.5 hours later, she had the nerve to call me and ask why my order wasn't picked up. I advised her of what happened and she said " I thought the guy took your order" which was a blatant lie. I advised her that she should at least acknowledge all customers and that I was ignored while she ate her food. There are a ton of quality Vietnamese restaurants in Manassas,so there is no need to patronize that establishment.
To be honest, this was not the first time that I had poor service from them. I overlooked it in the past, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment.
i’m not a pho expert but came here for lunch one day with coworkers and it was absolutely delicious. the broth had a nice flavor, I wish there was a little bit more meat and noodles in each serving but there was plenty of sprouts and jalapeno to add in.
First time visitor here! I came in for lunch but ended up not having time. The aromatic smells from the kitchen made sad I missed the Pho cooked today! The juice I ordered was phenomenal(Ginger Aid), exactly what I wanted and was served within a few minutes after ordering. Will post more once I tey the Pho and other accompaniments!

I go here by myself At least twice a month for a quick delicious and expensive and healthy meal. It never disappoints.
The man that am assuming is the manager is pitty and doesn't help to find a solutions bad customer service 👎
Delicioso 🤤

The food here is pretty bad… Very bland and the food doesn’t taste fresh…
I had the fried eggrolls, dumplings, and the Thai combination fried rice (very dry chicken as if it were recooked).
I hope I don’t sick!

The food was amazing. I was craving dumplings after getting a shot and when I entered I could smell the food. (It smelled great) the wait wasn’t very long and everyone was nice.
The place was empty during lunch hour. The Teriyaki Combo was terrible. The 2 crispy $4.25 egg rolls were slightly larger than my thumb. The white steamed rice looked/tasted like it was made during the Han dynasty. Teriyaki sauce had a strange flavor. Water tasted like it came out of the kitchen tap. Wife said the Shrimp Pho was OK. Good size bowl for a small size at $10.95. Skip this place and check out Pho Sapa near Target.
The pho always tastes great. Their broth has lots of flavor. The summer roll comes with a very delicious peanut sauce. They were ridiculously fast. Can’t recommend enough.
THIS PLACE DESERVES A LAWSUIT. They don’t provide caution stickers on the plastic lids that the pho comes in. The pho had accidentally tipped over and fell over my family member yesterday and it caused him 2nd degree burns. YOU GUYS NEED TO PLACE CAUTION HOT ON YOUR STUFF. ALSO LET THE STUFF COOL DOWN BEFORE SENDING IT FOR DELIVERY, what if it fell on the driver, that’s so messed up. A lot of pho places have caution stickers on their stuff for this reason. Why is the pho even being sent out without letting it sit for a few minutes or so. BE CONSIDERATE.
Ordered from doordash. I had the pho flank and brisket. I liked it. The chicken teriyaki had bones in it though. The shrimp rice wrap was nice but the sauce was too salty. The Vietnamese roll was ok.
Ordered pho from this restaurant via UberEats for delivery to my hotel. Requested utensils and napkins, neither of which were included.
Just how do you eat pho without a spoon?
This place is located just across the street from my residence. I went there just a couple days ago to get my favorite pho soup and there was a super sweet friendly ☺️ person that took my order. The pho never disappoints! It was delicious! I tend to always get the well done brisket pho. The only downside to my experience is that I had to encounter one of the older gentleman cooks stare at me to the point of slight uncomfortabilty. I understood him. There was cultural fascination with a seemingly young, African-American woman coming in so freely and so free spirited and ordering, while carrying on a light hearted conversation with the front desk lady. He was intrigued so he gets a pass. The bottom line is that this place serves great vietnamese cuisine and the restaurant decor is better than most of the vietnamese places in Manassas.
Hood job!

Great place to visit with your Family, Delicious Food
Pho is always good I eat here when I am in town
The pho was excellent. Just order carryout and you won’t have to deal with the staff. Lol
The pho was great! I was traveling for work the whole week and stopped by a few pho places. This place was the best one I had all week!
The service is the only thing that brings this place down which is a shame because their pho is delicious. This is the only place that I come to that has good pho prices and the broth is very flavorful. Their smoothies are done fresh and always taste amazing. Their staff isn’t the friendliness and they all seem tired but because of the food I’m willing to come back again as I haven’t had an instance where they have been disrespectful towards me.
Food is great, the smoothies are fresh, the service is cool, overall it’s a nice place to sit and eat and enjoy a nice meal or takeout, I recommend the Teriyaki chicken a lot of sauce on it but the chicken is good with the broccoli.
The rudest people ever!!
I have never came into any interactions with such rude people until I came here. I got a large combination pho. Meaning it should have came with everything, there was no tripe and there was no tendon. I paid EXTRA for a large to not only be missing meat but I only got 2 pieces of meat. I called back and the rudest young man picked up the phone and I began to express my concerns of how poorly my food was made. He told me “oh well” and hung the phone up on me. The absolute service I’ve ever came across.
The food is great, but they are not friendly and they did nothing while we waited.
Only reason for 1 star is because the decoration is nice. Other than that, the pho is mediocre, and the SERVICE is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. If you would like to get disrespected as a customer for some cheap food, go ahead and come on in and try this place.
The lady that calls herself a server will watch you stand at the door for a few minutes waiting to get seated and then proceed to seat you while also giving you extreme attitude almost like you're bothering her.
She then proceeds to THROW the menus AT YOU after you've been seated at the table like she does not care whatsoever. Then, once the food takes a good 30 minutes to get to your table, if you need anything at all, be prepared to get it yourself because none of the servers will get you anything. Literally asked her to please get some extra limes after pho came, she proceeded to look me in my eyes, then look at the table (indicating she understands what I need), and then turned around and kept going on about her business like a customer did not just ask her for something. Absolutely terrible service.
Won't be providing my business here anymore since it ain't anything special, after all it's one of 5000 pho places in the Northern Virginia Area and I am all about good customer service, don't really care for the cheap price. You can keep your Mediocre Pho and Worst Customer Service in America.

This is a “quick stop” lunch place and we found the food average compared to majority of the Pho spots around this area. Pho was very bland, summer rolls were so cold, and muscles were so salty.
Personally, the service was lackluster and “rude” to say the least. We moved tables (when only one other table was occupied) directly next to ours because the sun was beaming on my face which upset the woman working the front. She dropped then pushed both HOT soups over, made a fuss of moving 5 feet and indicated tip before sitting down. (Yes, we gave tip ya’ll)
Maybe she wasn’t having a good day, but we will not be returning if an establishment has this type of demeanor and attitude upon entering towards new customers — and even before the tip was gifted!
We tried supporting by buying 3 appetizers and 2 pho bowls and leaving tip, but I guess that wasn’t “enough”.
This is honestly one of the WORST pho places I have ever been to (Not Kidding at all). BOTH the Service AND Food were pretty bad. They didn't give me any water, and the hoisan and siracha bottles were absolutely filthy. The food itself didn't taste good at all. I even bit into something hard/sharp in one of the meatballs in my pho (couldn't identify what it was). Most definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It's seriously pretty bad.
I’ve eaten in every pho restaurant in Manassas, and in my opinion, this is the best pho. Although I like the pho very much, my wife feels the other dishes are not up to par. She says they are very bland. The main reason I'm leaving 2 stars is because of the poor customer service. The first time I went there, the hostess/waitress barely said 5 words to me during the entire visit. I was never greeted and didn't receive a thank you after paying. Initially, I thought it was because I went there at 8:30pm, but then I looked at their hours. They didn't close until 10:30. I said I would give them another chance since I really liked the pho and the prices. This time I took my wife with me. Nothing changed. We got the same poor customer service. We actually felt like they were annoyed by us even though we were patronizing their business. Again, the pho is great, but the service is poor. Therefore, I do not plan to go back to a business that acts as though they are annoyed by me coming there.
Here we pho again.... Stuff is good. I recommend the veggie pho because it's very good for you as well. Ample seating and good customer service. Been coming here since prior the pandemic and has not shut down or let me down during it.
As many of these reviews mention, service is absolutely horrible. Food is decent and poor service is such an easy thing to fix. Please work on being kind, friendly, and hospitable to customers and your business will thrive.
The Pho was delicious, the broth especially. The space was hygienic and the bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime were clean and fresh.
I had beef fried rice, the husband had combo fried rice and we both had smoothes. The food was delicious. The restaurant was cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly. We had a great dining experience and will definitely be returning.
Waitress is rude.
Walked in for the pho on a cold day. It did the job but I have definitely had better in the area. The service was horrendous. Waitress didnt speak or barely said anything to us the entire time. Food took at least 40 minutes to arrive (and that was the appetizer) for 2 people. I literally watched almost the entire 2nd quarter of the Bills game. It is a small restaurant with about 7 booths and 2 longer table areas. The decor was nice, I like the wooden theme. I dont think I will come back due to the service alone. Decent prices though.
El servicio es pesimo las personas que atienden son bastante mal educadas. Cuando te toman la orden no dicen ni media palabra solo te ven con cara de que vas a pedir!! Lastima que la comida es buena.
Yum yum good pho. Northern VA has so many pho joints but I really like this one. Nice place to sit and eat. Food came fast. Yum yum I think I said that.
Very nice people. We came in 15 min before their closing time on Sunday night. They were wrapping up but heard that we drove all the way back from Georgia and we're starving and decided to let us dine in. We are so grateful for them. The pho noodle soup was cinnamony and really delicious. Thumbs up! We will come back when we are in the area again!
Bad costumer service, walk in no greeting no ask how they can help or what we need.
The asian guy got our order, no greeting, nothing.
Pho was ok eatable the rice with shrimp bad ,tasteless, menu doesn’t look like authentic vietnamise food is more fusion.
The price is reasonable.
We are about to ask for the check and a costumer walked in with a dog the guy at the front pet it and the dog lick his hand and he didn’t wash his hands after we saw him grabbing a smoothie for other peoples and touch napkins and utensils.
A lot peoples are pet lover and it’s ok, but a lot others are allergic to them,Beside it’s gross a dog saliva in what u will put in your mouth, that was so nasty and gross.
First and last time there.
Pho is good but poor customer service. They always forget something out of my order. Last few times it was my plastic wear, then my sauces, this time it was vegetables, sauces, and plasticware. I ask the woman at the counter if my order is complete and she always says everything is in the bags. I will be opening and unloading my order at the front counter even if it offends her. She stares at you to see if you leave a tip and rushes you out once you pay.
If my next order is not all there I will not be returning. I dislike not trusting a company who does not pay attention to detail with orders. They love to charge full price but when food is missing all they say is “sorry” as if that will fix the issue. They don not try to fix the problem by refunding and item or giving you credit towards your next purchase. Customer service needs improvement.
Not much meat included in the okay Pho but the smoothies were good.
We thought the waitress was mad at us because she literally slammed the menus down and ran away. But apparently that's normal based off the other reviews here. Very odd.
RUDE.
Not even 1 ⭐️Worst service ever we had. Food was 🤮 no good. We ordered Basil Fried Rice (Chicken & Veg) , Chicken Pho .. none of them were tasty. Thai sweet tea was a BIG no! Staff weren’t interested in even giving us silverware and plates. The place stinks. We went around 8pm and they started cleaning the floor with Lysol ( I think ) , we couldn’t have our dinner happily. I don’t recommend this place at all.
My wife and I frequently dine at this establishment I love the Pho it is very tasty and if you are hungry they have the biggest bowl that i have seen for a large. However, I have to give a negative review due to the staff. There is no friendly warm smile from any staff when you walk in they all seem very bland and stale when it comes to greeting guests and that means a lot to me at any establishment and it also affects how I tip.....y'all need to work on this!!!!!!
Ordered at 12 for pick up and it’s 1:30pm and still not ready. This place is super slow. Do not recommend to order to go.
normally love this place but on June 23 I ate here and got FOOD POISONING it was great but I have not visited back since
I came to this place told the lady the name of the pickup order & I was standing at the very left side of where there is clearly an open space to have my order given to me. The lady was clearly lazy that she didn't want to carry the order & give it to me where I was standing at, & decided to TRY to give it to me at the opposite end. She clearly didn't have any problem going to the left side to speak & ask for the name. Then she continued to turn around & started speaking her native language to her coworker saying I don't know what. Very disrespectful.
They have very good pho but the customer service is not good. The young man at the front barely says a word to you and acts like he doesn't want you there and he doesn't want to be there. I visited five times in a little over a week. I went twice in one day and told the lady at the front about how I was adopted by a Vietnamese family and how much I missed mom's pho and how good I thought theirs was. I'm a distinct looking person and even on the last time I went in they didn't recognize me. It took 20 minutes for me to get my pho order for to go. A table of two walked in 5 minutes after me and got their pho about 5 minutes before I got my carryout order. When I said something about this the rude young man at the front finally had something to say and told me they were very busy. My reply was people walked in after me and got served before me. I will never go back. There are other pho places in Manassas. I only went there because they're about half a mile closer than the next one.
Food was alittle overdone.It was ok for a fastfood place
Me encanta las sopa 🍜 pero lo malo es la persona que toma la orden al muchacho es muy repunante y le hace tirra hace las cosa
I’ve been ordering take out from this place very often lately. Not once was I disappointed! Today I decided to get a smoothie as a sweet treat after pho - OMG I’ve been missing out on this goodness the entire time! It’s refreshing, delicious and tastes so good in this hot weather!
Absolutely delicious pho! Huge portions
I really love the food at this place what I don’t like is the service , at least say Hi to customers tell them you would be right with or say SOMETHING after 10 minutes I just left . So sad .
Food amazing! Service oh my goodness, what a beautiful restaurant and beautiful food if only the servers were more attentive and happy etc. I've been a waitress for over 14 years so I get it but woah... A place to to go order, tipped a few dollars as I always do with to go and the cashier/server also was lifeless... depressed looking. No eye contact no. Smile no thank you. He actually sighed as I walked away :(
I'm not sure what's going on at this establishment but it's my first time and although we liked it, everyone seemed really miserable and made me not want to come back
Muy rika sopa
This place use to be one of my husbands and I favorite places to go on date night on the weekend and unfortunately that all changed when I found out that Cindy the owner of the business exchanged numbers with my husband knowing that he was a married man and had a family and wife at home and that did not stop her from still entertaining the situation I know she is not all at fault but when she asked if he was married and he told her yes then it should have stopped now they are buying gifts for each other frequent visits and him even going to her home I mean is that the way be professional on top of all of that while she smile in my face like she's doing nothing wrong and now in love with him . I choose not to go there because my husband is leaving me for her so I guess you have great customer service skills Cindy but please know if he would leave me for you he will leave you for the next person great way to keep your regulars coming back but if the soup doesn't work I guess sleeping with him will
Good food, decent selection. But I only recommend as a takeout place. They have a blender in the kitchen that is so loud you leave with a headache if you dine in.
It was our first time trying this place on a weekday after work, and though we've only been once, we're already looking forward to going back. We've gone to the same pho place for years, and since recently moving back to the area, we decided to try as many new places as possible. It's a clean, casual yet swanky place, and the foods we tried so far (including pho, of course) are flavorful, fresh, the portions are generous and the prices are great (please keep your prices where they are! 🙏🏽). And of course, they are set up efficiently for pickup orders too. Also, I'm not sure why people in the reviews expect restaurant staff to tap dance all the time - the staff were friendly and accommodating enough. It's a casual, probably family-run eatery. Relax, the customer service is fine. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Definitely my go to place for soup in the winter and smoothies in the summer! The food is delicious and the restaurant is very clean
I really like them. I've been several times. This past time service was terrible though. They were not that busy but I'm pretty sure our server forgot all about us. Pho was great. It hit the spot
03/26/2022:
We went for Pho today and were not disappointed. I had chicken and my husband had rare eye round. The broth was very flavorful and full of slurpable chewy noodles, just the way it should be. We also had the scallion pancake, thin and crispy, served with a very intense sauce. It was wonderful! We are very glad to be able to eat in our favorite places once again.
Previous visits:
The food was great! We tried the fried egg rolls, edamame, grilled chicken, and Teriyaki chicken. The egg rolls were crispy and served with a tangy, spicy dipping sauce. The edamame was steaming and nicely salty. The grilled chicken was great with a wonderful char broiled flavor. The Teriyaki sauce was wonderful and not that overly sweet sauce you get everywhere. A nice bite to the sauce, a welcome change from the norm.
The short of it is that the Pho is the best/legit thing we ordered, all else was Americanized and service is minimal.
Order: edamame, viet egg rolls, chicken teriyaki with rice/salad, grilled chicken rice, veggies, and pho. Except the pho, everything tasted unauthentic and Americanized which was surprisingly disappointing.
I know it's tough out there in the restaurant industry but it seemed like the staff was lifeless, not mean, not rude, not happy, not attentive. Just minimal. I feel for them.
They definitely have a lot of take out orders which is great to keep their business running
Good tasting soup. The egg rolls tasted like they were store bought from frozen but didn't taste terrible. The menu is large but there are TWO pages of smoothies and I'm not sure why the emphasis is on smoothies! The name on the front is "Pho", not "Smoothie" Char. I'll go back and try just a smoothie next time to see what all the hype is about but will probably go to another Pho place for the soup.
Food was good but service is absolutely terrible. Did not even offer water or forks. Really arrogant attitudes. Take out may be better.
Delicious pho and smoothies
Food is ok, not great, they do not follow orders from grubhub. I know that make it very scant so i ordered extra noodles and bean sprouts, I gont neither one.
Very fresh and fast service. Food is best around.
First time having Pho , very good .
Good service as well .
Ate here for the first time and my husband and I were both impressed with the vegetable soup. Huge bowl. The veggies and broth were really good and fresh. The server was nice, and next time, I would like a smoothie. They made a lot of them as we were eating. Seems to be a popular place. There were a lot of takeout orders. Will definitely be back. My husband was tired from shoveling ice, and the soup helped him feel better. It's very convenient to our doctors' office and PT.
The Pho here is great! Their large bowl is legitimately large. I love how much broth they give you in the large bowl, it helps keep the Pho piping hot while you eat. The place was quite busy and they had non-stop takeout/delivery orders being filled. Due to that, the service is slow. They are slammed with dine in and takeout orders and are short-staffed. Be prepared to wait a while for your food if you dine in. This is my new go-to spot for Pho in the Manassas/Woodbridge area.
I love the food here but reception should improve and make sure orders are fully ready when notified as so.
Food tasted great. However service is subpar at best.
10 bucks for delicious pho? Heck yeah! Sign me up! Lol. BUT be prepared to receive very passive service. :( The people that work here don't have an ounce of warmth or politeness. I wish they would try to be a bit more pleasant. Also, the vegan soup could use a few more pieces of tofu. Still gave it 5 stars though... because of the low price point and how tasty the soup was. Worth a try if you're in the area.
ZERO STARTS I WAS FORCED TO PUT ONE IN ORDER TO POST
we called from work , ordered 1 beef pho and one veggie pho, the guy try's to charge me over 22$, mind you the guy wasn't friendly didn't greet me in any way , i explain to him that has to be wrong, ... to make long story short, the prices on the website have jumped from the website to their current menu by approx 4$ per soup , the guy says he told us that on the phone which was a complete lie due to our calls being recorded , they didn't honor their online prices , they were rude about it, and made me wait another ten minutes for my food that we ordered approx 30 min prior, I work on Centreville and it was ordered before i left to go get it , they made me feel embarrassed while I was trying to explain my side, meanwhile the guy is yelling at the lady at the counter in front of me about the website ... horrible experience , Never Again
The food is very tasty. Clerk, he was very polite
Best place in and around Manassas
The food is rather good but the service needs some help. I waited 20 mins for my meal and nobody seemed at all concerned that I was just standing there.
Ok so we’ve dined at this restaurant twice now in the span of four days. The food is very good snd I highly recommend it. However, I had to downgrade a five star rating to three stars due to service quality and bathroom cleanliness. Although the bathroom is largely clean, the smell of sewage was overbearing. Additionally, we can’t help to notice that the service is very awkward and slightly rude. They never look you in the eyes and when they serve you, they do it so aggressive and impersonal. I’m a few instances they set down your food and run away without asking if you need anything. They even tossed the check at my table as it landed and slid on the table. I may visit again for the quality of food but I feel like they don’t appreciate our patronage and would rather we didn’t come in. If you like Vietnamese pho, this place is great. However, don’t expect service with a smile. I think they’ve become used to the convenience of not having to be cheerful and blaming it on Covid.
One of the best Pho places we have found. The Pho Char was very nice and clean. Staff were efficient and polite. We had summer roll which I love, fresh and not sticky. Not keen on peanut sauce but Siracha helped with that. I ordered combination Teriyaki with salad and rice. Really liked that too. Rice I don’t eat. My hubs said it was good. Big pot of Jasmine tea. Oh happy day. This is probably the only place I have been to where the food looked like the pictures in the menu. Impressed. Prices are great. Definitely not over priced. Will be going back again.
No idea why this place has such a high rating. Everything is SO bland. I order the pho with everything, egg rolls and the sesame balls. Only good thing was the service wasn’t too bad. :(
First time ordering from here I won’t be ordering from them again. The Thai basil rice was bland, the veggie spring rolls were very greasy, the scallion pancakes were burnt and barely had any scallions in them, and lastly the Thai ice tea was nothing but sugary milk. I have yet to try my veggie pho. Honestly not in the mood for more disappointment.
Their health shots are so delicious. Love the pho. Mmm on my way there now.
The Pho is good but the service is terrible! It’s unfortunate that they’re so unfriendly here because I really like the food. This is my 3rd visit here and it’s always the same; no ‘welcome’ from any of the staff, no ‘how are you’, no coming to check on you and your food while you dine. They just give you the food and then pick up the check like they’re rude robots. They could really use some customer service training ASAP. PS- the bathrooms are dirty.
Great food !
I will start by saying this place has some of the best Pho I've had in a while.
Unfortunately this is where the compliments stop. During my entire visit the staff said all of 3 words to me(its not deli style, I sat at a table and had had waiter) It felt like I was ruining their day just by walking in the door. I was never checked on, offered anything, like I had to ask them to take my order. I will never return to this restaurant again, I would hate to ever ruin their day again. I have a group of friends that all love Pho and they all warned me about this. I just never thought it could be so bad.
This restaurant is AMAZING!!! The food is so delicious and the service is AMAZING!! I ate there for the first time yesterday and I can’t wait to go back!! I started off with some dumplings, they were so soft and succulent and the sauce that came with it was so good definitely homemade or something. I then had the teriyaki chicken and it’s was so tender and flavorful(definitely try it out)! On top of all that I still order some pho which was the BOMB! The portions are so big I actually had to take some home. On top of all this it was only $26 !!!!!! The place is small but it’s got such a homey vibe and the decor is cute. I think I’ve found a nice little place.You have to enjoy the little things about life that make it great and this is one of those things (or place !) Here are some pics!! If you’re looking for a good place to try out hit this place up!!
**I forgot to take a pic of the pho :( **
This is one of the best pho I ever ate! The flank pho is delicious! I once called 15mins before closing and they still took my order and everything was fresh and delicious!very clean and cute restaurant! Would recommend!
Everything tastes good here!
Great food, love this place. My go to for asian food..... always fresh and tasty 😋😋
I never get prompted to review my order on Grubhub so I’m leaving this here. This food is amazing. They always arrive on time with food hot and delicious. The fried spring rolls are god-tier and so is the pho. Grilled shrimp is amazing please try it. This is hands down the best restaurant in Manassas for delivery (orders always perfect even if you are just asking for extra lime). I was finally able to go the restaurant itself and the atmosphere was great. Also don’t sleep on those smoothies. I’d add a photo if I didn’t crush the food as soon as it got here.
Amazing food! Chicken pho is my go to dish.
I’ve gotten pho from here a bunch of times. By far my favorite pho I’ve ever gotten. The smoothies are delicious also and their fried rices are A+
First time visit
Only take out
Nice food
Fair price
Will go again
Pho chicken is delicious and the dumplings are super tasty. If you like spicy they will load you up and send you away happy. Smoothies are fresh and delicious, Pho broth is always super flavorful, and the service is fantastic.
My first time having Pho!!!! I’m in love will be back 😋
I want to start off by saying I have been here numerous times since they opened and I loved their food. The pho, appetizers and smoothies are great. However, this evening while eating my pho I found a metal rod in my food. I’m don’t think I’ll be back here after this experience.
I love this place.
Whoa now this place has some really good pho everything was perfect I got a large photo it was amazing loved it .this place looked like it was a family owned restaurant and they take pride in there food hope they grow and expand so I can eat there delicious pho near me support this restaurant 🙏👍👍
Very good .. I get it a lot
The worst combination pho that i ever tasted in my life...
Very good Pho, Decent prices. Only place in Manassas that compares to Pho234 near westgate.
good pho
This place is a total rip off. I ordered from them couple of times just because I live close and every time I can't even finish the dish. Worst Asian food I have ever tasted. Never again.
Takeout didn't have the name of dishes ordered. Results: Indistinguishable Pho's
Great place
Can't wait to have the best cold pressed green juice again!
A friend and I came for lunch and we were the only table. A server seats us and hands us menus and walks away. He didn’t greet us. He puts two waters on our table and runs away like the place is packed, and didn’t ask if we would like anything else. We ordered the scallion pancake and it was a frozen one that was thrown in a skillet with a ton of oil and it was super rubbery. Our server never came back to check on us. We grabbed a different girl and she seemed annoyed that I asked for a water refill(first and only refill). We then asked her if we pay at the table or up front and asked for two or three soup containers which she also seemed annoyed about. We paid and still left 10% when we normally leave 20-30%. When we left we then saw our actual server when we were walking out who didn’t say anything. Service could definitely be better.
The Summer rolls are large and fresh! Very good
They have awesome smoothies!
Pho is a little on the salty side
Great food great place
Great Pho Soup.
The smoothies here are to die for! Better than any smoothie chain. The food is also delicious!
Not many employees noted but that didn't affect the service provided. Seemed like a slow dine in night and a moderately busy take out monday night. Our pho was good. The plus is their tasty fresh smoothies /juices... DELICIOUS BONUS.
Pretty nice spot I only had to request tissue for the bathroom and instead I retrieved it from the mens restroom.
Amazing food and Pho
I absolutely love Pho soup and wanted to try a new place. This place literally has the best Pho in town. The food and ingredients were so fresh and taste great.. I will be ordering from here alot! Thanks for a great new year meal.
Great pho. Really cold inside.
For myself every time I have gone my meals have been great. Plus i love it's not all covered in oil they do a good job of trying to keep it healthy 🤗
Goog food
Best Pho and fresh summer rolls!! Highly recommend
Their fresh pressed juice, smoothies, and.pho is soooo good. We will definitely be back!
Great food, great price
Pho is great.
The menu is fresh and very appetizing; however, I love their smoothies and healthy, energizing green drinks.
First time pho! Really enjoyed that it actually lives up to the hype! I'll be back here, for sure, and I will be expanding my pho experience!
great chicken Pho and side of vegetables my favorite
Great pho, great veggie and fruit drinks
Good service and good food.
Husband and I had dinner here for the first time this week and we will definitely be back! One of the best ones in the Manassas area that we’ve had in our 5 years of living here. Salads were delicious and not over dressed or tossed together, spring rolls were amazing and the chicken pho was great. Worth a try for sure.
This place is fronting to be a Vietnamese place and it is not. People look at who are reviewing it, and find the Asian ppl lolololol. What a joke of a place
This Place is Bar none. You will be totally please with the service and the food
It's decent at best. It is too blend. I gave it three times
I walked in and was waiting in line 2 or 3 people walked in behind me and was acknowledged before I was. The guy at the register was making smoothies and taking phone orders at the same time. Never once changed his glove. The people in the back cooking were not wearing gloves. In total I waited 45 minutes for an order I called in and was quoted 15 minutes. I won't be back for awhile if I come back at all. They do have good food but it's not worth all of that
Used takeout soup was very flavorful. I would recommend this place.
The food is amazingly fresh and large servings.
