    Summer Rolls (2)
    Marisol D.

    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.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]zy spot, can get rly crowded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] , service was alright I can't complain tho I went at a busy time and on a weekend but everything was on point, will def be visiting again.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    10/10 everything was amazing!! 1st time here and I will be back! I got Shrimp and pork combo over rice with the egg roll omg!! FYI the egg was not an option on the menu, I had to request it.

    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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was very clean inside the facility.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite busy on Sunday afternoon means this place is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering I noticed they had many customers, so that's always a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is not very big, but cozy if you like to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance nice because of mellow music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Chicken Pho
    Bill T.

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

For us, we were talking to an artist in the Torpedo Art Studio in Old Town Alexandria, admiring the work he did. It got then we started talking about lunch as he was from Hong Kong. He mentioned we go across the street and try something he liked as it was something he would have back home. So, taking his advice we walked across the street and went to Mai Thai. It was a good suggestion. We went in and had a seat. Our waitress (a wonderful woman from Guam) gave some advice and we to some time to think. In the end we decided to start with Spring Rolls. This is the freshest sliced roll of crispy veggie combinations of lettuce, celery, mixed veggies wrapped in a thin wrap and served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. It was truly fresh and tasty. The dipping sauce was unique and made this worth a meal by itself. Then, being a cold day outside, soup seemed to be a good thing for lunch. We selected some traditional bowls of soup. First was TOM KA. It was a combination of vegetables and tofu in a coconut broth with mushrooms and fresh herbs. The soup had a tint of white. It was light and tasty. It was at a room temperature which is the way you have soup in Thailand. It was refreshing and light. Next we had TOM YUM. This is a combination made from slices of chicken in a lemongrass soup with fresh mushrooms, cilantro, scallions, galangal, kaffir-lime leaves, and Thai spices. The broth was light and traditional. If you wanted more spice our hostess brought it to you. Again, this was the way I had it when I was working in the rural areas of Thailand. Nothing fancy. Nothing simple. It was true home cooking that was served to you in a method truly Thai. The lunch was simple, but the way you would eat in Thailand. The taste and flavor was what to expect. The team is wonderful and friendly. The price was fine. It was good to find Mai Thai. And maybe being told about it from an artists does make it true to say that "Art is in the eye (and mouth) of the beholder."

    Food was not bad and they cut their portion size to half .I understand the current cost increase…read morebut customer service is horrible I will give 0 star .

The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and simple--nothing fancy, just a welcoming place that lets the food shine. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

Overall, if you're craving pho, this is your spot but for the other items, I wasn't blown away. The restaurant was clean with a lot of seating. There's a lot of street parking available.

    A fantastic sandwich location. I love a good sandwich!…read more I was able to place an order for pick up just before I got on the train to head back. Brilliant! I will definitely for this again on my next trip. I ordered a BLT on multigrain, and a PBJ w/honey drizzle on sourdough. The PBJ is off the kids menu. 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.

    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.
