    Tofu appetizer and thai tea
    Daweon K.

    My favorite place to go for pho in the DMV. The broth is flavorful and they give you a generous portion of meat. Their sate sauce is one of the best I've ever had. A tip for those who visit - once you finish your meal, pay at the front instead of waiting for a server to hand you your bill.

    The kids' size was perfect. I can't eat too much, and the smaller serving was great for me. I had fatty brisket and beef steak in my pho, the flavor was good and the broth great. Summer rolls were good...a little thin but good.

    Saturday night 45 minutes before closing and restaurant was packed. First time trying and we thought it was pretty good pho - probably only second to Pho 75. The staff is very nice and cordial, and you can tell there are a lot of repeat/ familiar customers here. Only downside is the price - very expensive for a bowl of pho.

    After we ate at El Fogon, my brother and I were still hungry so we swung by to this cafe. It's located in Kingstowne area across from Giant and Le Madeleine. Theres limited of seating but manageable. My brother ordered the eye round steak and brisket pho; I ordered two items: the lemongrass beef vermicelli and eye round steak pho. They were all delicious and the proteins were tender and moist. The vermicelli bowl was refreshing and colorful. Our servers were distracted by technology and we had to wave both of them down for refills. The restaurant itself was clean. I would make another visit in the near future to try other items on their menu.

    Shrimp and Pork over rice combo with egg roll. FYI: They did not have the egg as an option I had to ask.

    DELICIOUS food, some of the best pho we've had in a while. Although the prices are slightly higher than some other pho restaurants in the area, it is totally worth it! The portions are huge, the broth is very flavorful, and there's lots of meat in the soup. The service was very fast and friendly, and it was very clean inside the facility. I'll be looking forward to coming back here!

    Where is the picture of the pho? It was too good that I couldn't take a moment to take a picture of it. Base of the soup is quite nice except i felt like they used lots of MSG. Quite busy on Sunday afternoon means this place is good. Service was prompt and I would like to come again

    Pho with Thinly Sliced of Eye Round Steak
    Darlene P.

    Spotted this spot out the corner of my eye, so I just had to try, because I love Pho! Upon entering I noticed they had many customers, so that's always a good sign. The place is not very big, but cozy if you like to dine in. The service was good and quick, no long wait, Which was nice. The pho was quite tasty, had a nice and delicious broth and had several options on the table to spice things up! The spring rolls were also very good. I would definitely go again. If you're in the Kingstown area and would like a good tasty bite to eat, try them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Food was good. There was no wait. Ambiance nice because of mellow music. Customer service was CRAP. Was not greeted when entering. When the guy took the order, he looked annoyed the entire time. He didn't say thank you or talked to us at all. He just looked like he hated his job. The server who brought out the food was also not friendly. Com tam was mid. Like 5/10. Pho was okay. 7/10. Eggrolls 5/10.

    Small establishment, however very authentic and good. Wifey and I checked this place out with total satisfaction and high recommendation.

    We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.

For the record, we arrived after 10 PM, so I want to be fair about the timing but if you're open and serving, the experience should still meet a reasonable standard. Unfortunately, ours didn't. Seating was confusing from the start. No one greeted us at the entrance or hostess stand, we were directed upstairs, and again no one greeted us. We eventually had to flag someone down just to get seated. The calamari looked and tasted as though it had been sitting for days chewy and rubbery. None of us liked it, so we sent it back. No replacement was offered, and it still appeared on our bill until we asked to have it removed. My cashew chicken had the same not-fresh taste. One sister had the peanut chicken and barely touched it, while my other sister said her tofu Pad Thai was decent. The cocktails were mediocre, and once they were finished, no one asked if we'd like another. Our water was refilled, but otherwise there was very little checking on our table. Even the sauces and peppers we requested smelled and tasted stale.

    Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.

I'll ask for extra peanut butter and jelly so it's to my liking. I couldn't tell if there was honey on it, it could have been. The BLT was fantastic. I loved that it was not oiled high with all the ingredients. A simple sandwich. It fit the bill and didn't over fill me. A true classic. The multi grain bread was the best! I need to find out where that is from. It was that good. I hope I'm able to try the tuna fish and the egg salad sandwiches sometime they look delish! The staff were quiet, but got the job done. There is a small bar like area to eat in, and outdoor tables in a covered area to enjoy your sandwich.
