    Pho Dac Biet Large
    Julia W.

    Probably the best viet restaurant in Richmond, the Pho Dac Biet Large was enormous with tons of meat and great price. The 34 Com Tam Suon grilled pork chop with rice was succulent and delicious. The interior of the restaurant is very pretty with more modern furnishings. I liked their fish tank. My only comment, not sure if it was because we had a group of 6 was that they kept bringing out dishes only 1 or 2 at a time instead of serving us all at once. But the tables with only 1 or 2 people didn't seem to have any issues so I am wondering if it was because they were short staffed in the kitchen or something on a weekday. Def best viet restaurant in Richmond right now, will be returning!

    49TN. Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
    Rachel K.

    I have tried almost every Vietnamese spot in Richmond and this is currently the best one. I personally think this is the better location out of the two locations. I typically get the pork summer rolls and tofu vermicelli (pictured below). I also get the passionfruit boba. Each time, it is fresh and fast. Great place and 10/10 recommend.

    22. Wonton Egg Noodle Soup
    Vincent M.

    Dog friendly + authentic Viet food. I got the Wonton Noodle Soup and my girlfriend got the Deluxe Pho and we both enjoyed it :)

    Bun Bo hue
    Jessica T.

    The banh canh was flavorful but the noodles fell apart and weren't as chewy as I wanted it to be. The fried rice was good and the boba was absolutely amazing! Our cup was dirty though and the waiter took a really long time to bring our check. I was disappointed since I love the place.

    Vietnamese Condensed Milk Iced Coffee
    Menghai T.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and got the pho dac biet special L ($14) and Vietnamese iced coffee ($5). Service was quick and good. Food came out in about 5 minutes once I ordered. The pho broth was seasoned well and was savory. I like that they actually gave a generous portion of meat. Overall it was quite a solid pho and tasted about the same as the other Pho Thein Phat restaurant on Rigsby road. Food(50%): 8.5 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 8.0 Overall: 8.3/10

    The food was soooooo delicious!! Service was okay, the waiter checked in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was decorated with flowers and had a very happy vibe. The place was cold, so bring a jacket.

    Came on Christmas Eve and was happy that they were open regular hours! This place is beautifully decorated and there's a ton of seating which is nice. There's also a boba stand in the restaurant. Our waiter was super friendly. We ordered a pho dac biet and the bun bo hue, with the shrimp and pork rolls to share. Everything was great- I think I've had better bun bo hue elsewhere but this one was decent!

    I go to this restaurant all the time I get chicken pho, (extra spicy) which is my go to order with my newly founded favorite the shrimp spring roll. Everything is always a 10/10!!

    26. Bun Cha Gio
    Myan L.

    I always get bun cha gio when i go to pho places. This location has a lot of parking and is pretty popular. The service is nice and it's conveniently located next to new grand (the grocery store). Throughout the year they also have different decorations which is super cool to see! Id come back!

    #37 - Grilled Beef Broken Rice
    Daniel S.

    When you walk in to Pho Thien Phat 2 you're met with decor that is eclectic and ever changing with the holidays: valentines day displays, Christmas trees, or yellow flowers for Lunar New Year. It's both welcoming and provides engaging to look at during a visit. Food and service are always top notch, with this establishment quickly becoming my go-to for Vietnamese rice plates in Richmond. Portion sizes are generous for a reasonable cost, while still being of high quality. I typically get the #33 which offers a bit of everything with grilled pork, pork cake, and pork skin to mix in to your rice with the pickled carrots and daikon that come on the side. And if you're needing a mid-day pick-me-up the Vietnamese Iced Coffee will always do the trick.

A Yelp search landed me here as I love Korean food and this place was highly rated.

The decor was what you'd expect, with torn seats and unsteady tables, and the aromas from the seafood counter did nothing to help. Then food arrived; my bibimbap came with hot stone bowl (which cost extra) and it was needed since the food was room temperature. After much stirring, it finally warmed up a bit. The egg was fried 'over hard' - not a nice runny yolk that should ooze and coat the rice. Also there was no seasoning, fortunately a side dish of gochujang was provided. Wife had ma pa tofu which was...different - in a Korean/Chinese fusion. Not traditional, but tasted better than mine. All-in all, not worth while.

The space is huge for a walking-mall restaurant, with several dozen tables and booths. Music is nice background not overly loud. Service was absolutely excellent and food came out within minutes. Empty dishes picked up within seconds. We ordered an appetizer of crab rangoon. It came to us hot and tasty but to be honest it had little to no fake crab in it. That was a little disappointing. For our mains I had chicken stir fried noodles and pork soup dumplings. When it was put in front of me I thought the noodles looked like a smallish portion but this turned out not to be the case -- the dish was more than adequate and very nicely composed. I enjoyed every bit of it but barely finished it. The soup dumplings were umami-on-a-spoon. Served in a steam basket, these were very warm and the broth inside was just perfect. I thought it was a tad salty, my wife disagreed. And since it was her main course and not mine, I will bow to her opinion. This was a nice casual meal, especially for the price. If you go, do not pass up the opportunity to walk up to the bao station and watch the food being made. Our server encouraged us to do this, and it was really interesting, and the staff doesn't seem to mind the attention!

The orange chicken from Ugly Dumpling is absolutely amazing!!!!! I was recommended the orange chicken by my server who was very kind and attentive!! Also, I got the noodles with spicy sauce which weren't super spicy but still tasty and I tried the veggie bao buns for the first time and really enjoyed them! Overall great food, and I will definitely keep coming back.

I had only planned on spending $60 or so but ended up spending $140 including a great tip for my waiter. I got the Fried Chicken Banh Mi, Dan Dan Noodles, and my guest ordered the Brisket Pho, and Singapore noodles alongside a Mojito and their coconut ice cube drink (blanking on the name). I loved every bite of my food. The Daikon Radish was the highlight of the Banh Mi and I was in love with every bite. Visibly dancing and gleaming with joy while eating + the great music being played also helped. I didn't eat my sandwich until it got cold as I like to finish a dish before trying another. I started with the Dan Dan noodles and had to drink 3 of the liters of water by myself to finish my meal . I took my guest's peppers and my peppers and crushed them up into my Dan Dan plate with all the seeds that came with them. In addition I also used all the chili oil paste it came with as well. It was so damn great I enjoyed every second. My guest loved their pho and didn't stop eating it and ate half of their Singapore noodles before getting full and having to take it home. They absolutely loved their drinks and it was so fun to watch the bartender make the drinks. Two shakers in hand mixing the drinks and oh boy were they strong . We will definitely be back!!! Oh and they also had chopsticks for us to use and we ate our entire meal with them. I knew I was in for a whirlwind of flavor when the ethnicities of the cooks matched the restaurant and patrons of color from Pakistani, Black, Indian, Korean, Thai, and more were dining in . Only downsides for me personally were the Singapore noodles but it wasn't my dish. I tasted them and didn't think they were for me I usually prefer a different ratio of seasoning for my Singapore noodles. My guest whose favorite dish is Singapore noodles quite adored them. Though they did say the Singapore noodles I make at home are better they still crushed it and the next morning woke up and crushed the rest with a smile on the face . Only thing I didn't like was the pho but that's my personal taste getting in the way. I don't like fish based broths but my guest ate every single last dropped and loved it! So if that's your alley go for it!!! 10/10 will try again!!! P.S. please tip the staff graciously they work so hard. If you're going to order a $100 worth of food don't be the person not tipping or tipping $10 when the service was excellent. Yes tipping cultures shouldn't exist but until they're paid a fair wage please continue to do so. I really hope this restaurant doesn't sell out like other restaurants (En Su Boca )

The appetizer was hot, savory, and spicy with the duck sauce and hot mustard mixture. If you like milder sauce, do not mix it.
