We were visiting Virginia to spend time with family and friends and decided to stop by Eden Center…read morefor a quick bite. With so many Vietnamese restaurants to choose from in the plaza, we decided to give Banh Cuon Thang Long a try. The restaurant felt a bit dated, but it was mostly clean and had that classic Vietnamese restaurant atmosphere with traditional decor throughout. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 3/5 Service - 3/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Large Shopping Center Parking Lot Atmosphere - The restaurant definitely shows its age, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It has a traditional Vietnamese restaurant vibe with older decor and a straightforward dining room. While nothing about the space stood out, it was mostly clean and comfortable enough for a casual meal. Service - Service was good overall. The owners were friendly and welcoming, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Nothing particularly memorable, but no complaints either. What We Ordered - -Com Tam Bi Suon Cha (Grilled Pork Chop with Shredded Pork and Egg Meatloaf) - The flavors were very good overall, but the pork chop itself was noticeably tough and dry, which took away from the dish. -Banh Uot Dac Biet - Very good. The noodle sheets were soft and fresh. Flavors were on point. Final Thoughts - Overall, we enjoyed our visit. While the grilled pork chop was a bit disappointing, the rest of the food was solid and the Banh Uot Dac Biet alone was worth ordering. If we ever find ourselves back in the area, I would return again and be interested in trying more of the menu.

For mains, we ordered the pork skewers and a beef rice dish served in a hot stone pot. The meats were perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The stone pot rice was a highlight--the heat creates a delicious crispy layer at the bottom that adds amazing texture and flavor. Overall, it's a great lunch option, especially if you're planning to stroll around afterward. Walking through Eden Center and exploring all the Vietnamese specialty shops really rounds out the experience.

The restaurant had about 8 tables to dine in and specialty is banh cuon. They also have other dishes like broken rice with grilled meat and rice vermicelli. Of course I had to order what they are known for which is the banh cuon. I ordered the specialty dish of banh cuon with the Vietnamese pork roll slices with fried dough shrimp. When it came out, I thought it was going to be alright but it was better than expected. The rice rolls had different fillings that included dried shrimp and pork meat. They also leave extra fish on every table if you want more sauce. My daughter who is 16 had the rice vermicelli and she said its the best egg rolls she tasted. According to my wife the rice dice was pleasantly good as well. Overall, if you are at the Eden Center give this place a try instead of the main ones on the strip to try something new. Its hidden inside the mall area but you will be able to locate it from yelp. My only issue is the price is high but the food is decent.

Most definitely recommend :)

I am pleased to bring you another Daddy/Daughter Eden Center lunch date Yelp review with guest…read moreappearances from my mom and two sisters Kat and Kristina V. It was a random Thursday afternoon and for the first time in my adult life, all of my sisters and my parents had the day off without anything special going on. Amazing! My dad wanted to celebrate by taking us out for lunch at his new favorite spot in Eden Center (keep in mind he has a new favorite restaurant every month). By the time we sat down the whole family was starving (it takes a long time for four girls to get ready!) so we ended up ordering a lot of food: stuffed escargot, Bun Bo Hue, two banh xeo, a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg roll, the congee special, and shaky beef. I sampled a little bit of my pop's BBH and was AMAZED by the flavor. Outside of my parental unit's house, this was the best I ever had. The broth was rich, spicy, and meaty. Add some stinky shrimp paste to that joint and you got yourself an unbelievable meal. Even my dad agreed, this was awesome! He is originally from Hue so he KNOWS his BBH! The shrimp and pork banh xeo was also a standout and came out thin, crispy, and sizzling hot. Even after a few minutes it still retained its crispness which is very hard to do. The coconut and turmeric batter was a delicious treat for my nose as well as my mouth. Amazing - - My mom ended up a WHOLE banh xeo by herself which is amazing since she is the only person in my family who never overindulges. By the end of the meal she kept making excuses for why she ate the entire banh xeo herself which only made us laugh more. It was really nice to see her really enjoying herself. Shaky beef was also great and came with lots of fresh watercress, onions, grilled peppers and lettuce. The stuffed escargot had a beautiful presentation and was made with chopped up snails seasoned with a load of Vietnamese seasonings and lemongrass and then stuffed back into a larger shell. The vermicelli and congee were ok, but I'd definitely recommend ordering something a little bit more exciting here! Apparently at night this place turns into a lounge that mostly caters to single Asian men looking for the next hot young thang....but don't let that deter you this place is the noms.

However, the turnover was pretty quick and we were seated within 5 minutes. Once seated, there was a delay in service, but they were very generous and apologetic for the wait, which was not an issue at all. We ordered the Bò Lúc Lắc, plain pho, and Chả Giò, which came out within minutes. The pho broth was tasty and delicious and did not require any additional flavoring. The portions are hefty and enough to share. Parking can be a process as it is within the Eden Center lot, especially for a weekend. Will definitely be back again. Enjoy!
