Oh Noodle Man. How is it that I like none of the actual noodle dishes but love all of your…read moreappetizers and other stuff?! I have been to the VB location a few years ago and didn't like anything I had ordered. I was hoping this time would be different. The salt and pepper shrimp and such was delicious. As was the cucumber salad and everything. But the actual noodles itself? Overpowering with star anise and Szechuan peppers-- so much so I tasted nothing else and breathing foul odors for the next few days I swear. The potato noodles were hard to chew and easily could become a choking hazard. The service was fast and friendly despite the busy dinner hours. The restaurant had plenty of seats inside and the orders became available fast. Very little to no wait without feeling rushed. Like my dining companion said, everything but the noodles are good here. I should have heeded the warning. Parking is free and most major cards accepted. Unless a friend insists on going, this is not a must visit spot for me. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to friends and family but hey. To each their own.

Came here with a friend of mine who absolutely loves hot pot. I had actually never had it before,…read moreso I had zero idea what I was in for. But honestly, it turned out to be such a fun and tasty experience! For anyone who hasn't tried it: hot pot is basically a big simmering pot of soup right at your table where you cook all your own food. You pick all your ingredients from soup, veggies, meats, noodles, mushrooms, whatever you want and drop them into the hot broth to cook. It's super customizable and kind of like a mix between soup and DIY cooking right at the table, which is actually a blast once you get the hang of it. We both went with a hot, spicy soup base which was perfect for warming up on a cold day. I threw in broccoli, mushrooms, ribeye, and noodles. The best part is watching everything cook right in front of you and then pulling it out when it's just right. The broth soaks up all those flavors and gets even richer as you go. The flavors were amazing! Really bold and satisfying. The spicy broth was exactly what I needed, and everything we added came out perfectly cooked and delicious. It was warm and cozy, which made the whole thing even better since it felt like the ultimate cold weather meal. I look forward to retuning and trying something completely different!

Clearing the table of our empty plates could have been more attentive, although it improved about halfway through the meal. The sauce bar was clearly labeled with dozens of options. There are many different broths available, plenty of proteins, though I would have preferred leaner cuts of beef. Don't miss the included cold appetizer options and deserts. I thought that someone had spilled fish sauce in the men's room but I found that the issue was that the urinal didn't flush. I'll pass on the fish sauce next visit!

We always choose the Greenbrier location in Chesapeake since there's ample parking available, and the service is very good. Tonight I tried a new salad, the Lemon Basil Harvest Blend, and I appreciated our server, Jackeline M for asking if I preferred the dressing on the side. Yes, please! I'm so glad she asked! This mixed greens salad has some star ingredients that caught my eye: charred artichokes, green olives, and grilled balsamic chicken. Yum. I'll be ordering this salad again. My bestie ordered her favorite bc combo with Tomato Soup and the Wine Country salad. She says that soup and salad combo never disappoints. She finished it! But, we always save room to share a trusty bc favorite dessert: the Wimbledon (strawberries with whipped cream crepes). Although it's no longer on the menu, the Greenbrier location always whips it up for us when we ask. It's an oldie, and a goodie! We enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Baker's Crust and find that our dinner catch ups over their delicious food and dessert are always long overdue. I boxed half of my salad to take home and Jackeline was kind in bringing me extra salad dressing to go. Very thoughtful. We'll be back soon!

I order the "sirloin with shrimp" with rice noodles. And wow! It hit the spot. I slurped up all the broth. Now you can have soup anytime of the day if you are looking for an alternative healthy meal! Will definitely come back.

I've visited other Pho 79's in the area, namely the Ghent location and the Pembroke location. This…read morePho 79 in Chesapeake may have the best customer service of the three. The food here is okay, but it will suffice whenever it's cold out and you need some hot broth to warm you up. I came in on a Friday evening nearly a year ago. Snow was beginning to melt away and there was no food in the house. So, I took a drive to see how the area was doing in regards to the snow, and I decided to drive by my office when I saw that Pho 79 was open. When I arrived, I was seated immediately. There were maybe 2 parties already seated and eating and the lady quickly gave me a menu. When I sat down, it dawned on me that the last time I ate at this location was a good 10-15 years ago. They changed up the seating a little, and the interior lighting is darker than I remembered. I decided on: A1. Spring Rolls P13. Pho Ribeye Steak Both items came to my table quickly and I proceeded to chow down. The spring rolls were kinda tough (well, the ingredients inside were tougher than I anticipated), while the pho ribeye steak was very good. I had a soda to drink, but it took a minute to get someone's attention for a refill (if there's one pet peeve I have with certain restaurants, servers need to be more cognizant and anticipate when a customer will need a refill; during my restaurant employment days, I was taught the 'silent refill' approach - assume the customer will need refills and get them that refill before they even think to ask). I'd like to say I was in and out of Pho 79 in about 25 minutes. So speed is a strength here. The food is good, although the spring rolls need some work, and the service, although fast, could be a bit more anticipatory rather than reactionary. Still, this is the best Pho 79 in this area, and I wouldn't mind visiting again (which I have since this visit). Thank you, Pho 79! JV

Casual space but could be visited for a more special occasion, especially since there doesn't seem to be a ton in the area. Service was very friendly and welcoming.
