    Popcorn chicken
    Thuy V.

    Craving some lighter pho and decided to come here. Smell was so inviting. Fairly basic decor and service. Kiddo liked the popcorn chicken. Pho broth light and boiled chicken is star. Other kiddo liked bun thit nuong ok. Def come for the chicken.

    Nice no frills restaurant in the Eden Center, which serves great pho and boba tea, plus many more items that I have not tried. I had the Toasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, which was great in my opinion, but I wish it was a little bigger! Other than that, it was delicious. I had to come in another time to try the Traditional Chopped Chicken Pho, because it seems to be one of the signature dishes, and it did not disappoint! The chicken was nice and tender, the broth was flavorful, and the portion was generous. Based on a couple good experiences, I will try more items from the menu in the future.

    Maybe it's because I came on a Monday when the restaurant is pretty dead, but the chicken wasn't very good. I did like the broth, but it wasn't anything spectacular. The service was also pretty much non-existent for dining in. I decided to give this place a try and don't think I'll be back. I'll stick to the other more flavorful phos in the area.

    Pho ga
    Anthony R.

    We arrived at Eden Center around 9pm without realizing most places close at around 8. Luckily the server at this place was willing to seat us as they were closing and we were really grateful for that. Their pho ga was very solid and their chicken was very juicy. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the meats as it reminded me of a smoky salty dip for kbbq meats.

    I only come here and get the chicken pho with glass noodles. Their specialty is the chicken so it only makes sense to get chicken here and expect it to be at high standards. The chicken is fresh and they make it similar to the famous Philadelphia chicken pho which is bone-in with chicken eggs (unless you get shredded boneless). The broth is light yet flavorful. I do notice the store changes stuff around a lot from the dishes to the store layout, etc. because they share the space with a drink shop. They are open later than most of the restaurants at Eden Center so you can actually expect more of a crowd dining at night.

    I don't know what is going on with this place! It use to be my go to Pho Ga place. It was so amazing and clean before. I don't even wanna say what I saw. But, I won't be back. The food now is just okay. Service was the best it can give.

    Not great I was so bummed that my favorite pho place ever, pho va, is no more. So I gave this a shot. Having just traveled internationallyi just wanted a feel good meal I was surprised by their menu 1. No summer rolls ..,.wahh? 2. No way to customize the bowl.,.egads I got the bowl with flank and steak. It came with a lemongrass pepper spice bowl on the side. For me the pho really comes to how flavorful the broth is. And I didn't dig this one at all. Way too salty and not the body to it that I typically relish when I enjoy some pho. The meat cuts were tough and chewy.... Cheap The place is also a little on the dirty side, they don't seem to clean tables well and there faint odor of urine. Service is slow but nice Parking is in the Eden center jumbolot Overall, this is a one and done

    Pho Tony Special

    This place is located in the Eden Center and their specialty is Chicken pho! I got there later in the day and the dish I wanted to try was sold out! :( But I wasn't going to leave without eating something. Order the liver and gizzard side dish and the Tony Pho Special! The liver and gizzard was delicious and had a spicy sauce to dip in. The Pho broth was so good! I didn't have to add anything to it. The service was good and fast. The food was hot and came out quick! This is like a small diner and very relax. I could stay here and eat all day. But remember if you're in the area, stop by and give it a try!!!! Also get there early!!

    Lemongrass Grilled Chicken Pho
    Lia M.

    I love chicken pho and was excited when my friend suggested we try this place. There are so few good chicken pho places around anymore. Also, it was one of the few places open after 8 at Eden Center. Pho Ga Vang is brightly lit with friendly staff and plenty of seating. I got the grilled lemongrass chicken pho. It was so fragrant and delicious. I loved the salt and pepper dipping sauce too. My friend also enjoyed her pho. I'm looking forward to returning.

    Poached Chicken
    Tony T.

    This is the only place to get chicken pho anywhere in VA. I was first introduced this place when I went to the location in Philly where they had free range steamed chicken, delicious rich broth, and a spicy and savory dipping sauce. You will find all of those things at Pho Ga Vang. The food is freshly prepared and taste delicious. Do yourself a favor and order the chicken separately from the pho so the chicken doesn't get soggy from sitting in the broth while you eat. Then get a small bowl of plain pho and enjoy! The only downside (and not really a downside because you get so much chicken) is you have to order 1/2 poached chicken but it is worth it even if you have it for leftovers. The service is not so great.. they basically bring you your food and you never hear from them again. The restaurant itself could benefit from a few upgrades but it's good enough.

    Blast from the past to see ol college friends. Jojo, the girl to my left is a huge pho buff and says this is the best pho she's had in the area since she's moved here. Food came out quick, the waiter was a high school student which makes the food better : ).

    The food was very bland especially the chicken on the bones. Broth was very bland as well.

    Phở gà
    Angel P.

    Phở Gà Vàng is inside of Mr. Wish and specializes in chicken pho and offers other chicken dishes. I got the regular pho ga. The pho ga was pretty good, but the broth could have been better. I would come back to try other dishes. It's somewhat small, with only 12 tables. They also have a huge screen playing music videos. Service was very friendly and fast. After ordering, I got my food in less than 5 minutes. If it's not busy, just let them know how many are in your party and sit at any table. You pay at the counter.

Having grown up with fine Vietnamese cuisine thanks to Bethesda's Green Papaya, my dining companion and I had felt over a decade of void (of exceptional Viet cuisine, in general) since its closing nearly 14.5 years ago. Recommended to us by one of our students who volunteers as a community organizer for Eden Center and other Vietnamese-owned small businesses, NUE with its incredible first impression has us beyond thrilled to have found a spiritual successor to our dear Green Papaya (albeit a bit more modern in style and even fancier). Since it was our first time visiting the Founder's Row mall, it took us a moment to get our bearings (the biggest parking entrance is on the southern side of the development but there are elevators that lead to the main area further northwest along Broad Street (including NUE, Ellie Bird, and Fish Taco) as well as the QR Code-based parking system. After scanning the QR code for parking, it was not too difficult to utilize it (NUE provides a code for 2 hours validated parking). Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by our server Joshua, who took great care of us throughout our celebration lunch and is very knowledgeable about the food as well as the restaurant group. Also, kudos Kyung at NUE's parent group (Happy Endings Hospitality) for acting super promptly (just over an hour later on a Saturday!) to an query I came across regarding their membership rewards. As for the restaurant's ambiance, it is decorated with a beautiful mural and the artistic direction reflective of Co-Owner Tuyet Nhi Le's heritage (her grandfather who was a famous painter). Upon sitting down and being served our requested hot water+lemons, we could notice the attention to little details (metal chopstick holder, bamboo lids atop our hot water glass, and later, the onyx-handled knife for the Fried Fluke). Speaking of the fish, our favorite celebration entree at Green Papaya was a Fried Flounder, and wouldn't you know it, one of NEV's "Iconic & Shareable" entrees is their Whole Fried Fluke with a bouquet of Fresh Herbs, Rice Noodle Rolls, and Pineapple Nước Chấm! This alone got us to slog through I-495 traffic across the river (congested even on a weekend for lunch!). In addition to the quality of ingredients (fish and herbs), Executive Chef Daniel Lê's thoughtful touches really stand out. For the fish, he debones the fluke's central bone while retaining its structure to make nearly the entire fish edible. As for the execution, the fish was prepared with optimal salinity, a delicate hand to let the innate flavors stand out, and superb texture (especially loved the crunchy dorsal fins, collar, and tail fin that were easy to eat completely). The abundance of fresh mint, Thai Basil, cilantro, and red leaf lettuce added a refreshing contrast together with the dynamic dipping sauce (slightly viscous to cling to the rice noodles and herbs), plump limes, and savory toppings (fried garlic-peanuts & fried scallion+oil). At $98, it represented a good value as the outstanding quality was matched by generous portion, satisfying both of our appetites (we purposefully ate very light yesterday) and left us with just enough room for dessert. To conclude our absolutely delectable meal were the Tropical Chè (~fruit parfait with coconut milk tapioca pudding, pineapple-mango-passion fruit sorbet, Thai Basil Seeds, mango, lychees) and the birthday treat of Fried Sweet Yuca with Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Waffle Feuilletine. The duo offered a lovely contrast of temperature (former being ~ fancy Halo Halo, latter being warm and comforting ~more substantial Mochi Donut-meets-steak cut fries), textures (tender, crunchy, QQ, and crisp) and flavors (floral, fruity, neutral-savory, salty)! To top it off, they included a Birthday Card featuring their signature artwork and a generous gift to welcome us back for our next visit! All in all, NUE is what we had been starving for the nearly past 15 years: a fine Viet restaurant that delivers fantastic food; warm, attentive, and welcoming service; classy ambiance for a special occasions, entertaining VIP guests, or just a fancy meal to treat yourself! With Joy by Seven Reasons having closed earlier this year, we had lost a dear favorite that starred fancy Fried Fish (Dorade) in a tropical culinary backdrop (Pan-Latin). NUE also fills that void. Now, if only NUE open a second location in the Bethesda-Rockville area like Joy!

Moreover, the shaky beef dish was dipped in baking soda or baking powder, making the dish tastes quite bitter.The bitter taste could hardly mask the fact that the beef cubes have been sitting around for a few days --the meat were partially rotting.
