Whenever I go to pho places, I usually end up getting vermicelli. The one here is a good one. They give you a lot of both the pork and the shrimp which were flavorful enough. I've never had a fried egg on my vermicelli but I didn't mind the extra protein at all. The Thai iced tea was good and not overly sweet. Service was lovely and friendly and I'd go back if I were in the area. read more

Started with a summer roll that was really tasty with the yummy peanut sauce. Then had a small bowl of beef pho. Really good flavor with a good amount of meat in it. Could of used more broth but great beef flavor. Service was good, it was clean inside but a fork in the silverware was dirty. I didn't use it anyway. read more

This place hits the mark for their pho particularly. My nephews loved it and gobbled up the entire bowl. And they have frequented this restaurant before for it. It was my first time and I ordered the beef with lemon grass with vermicelli. The beef tasted slightly off and the rue that was made from corn starch was too thick. I'd consider taking my nephews back here but wouldn't order the same dish. read more

Recently moved into the area (actually moved less then 10 miles).. but this is the closest Pho from the new dig. Excellent beef broth.. for me, it's all about the broth. I can deal w slow service (service was fast) if the food is excellent. Here they have both! Garden rolls seemed to have just been made. read more

Great food, fast service, reasonable prices, and a clean interior! Portions were large and parking was ample. Was super excited to find vegan rolls for the vermicelli bowl, M3. Highly recommend! read more

Food - excellent choices of appetizers, soups and main entrees. Tried the meatball soup - very tasty and filling. Lots of delicious options Service- prompt, professional, very helpful. We arrived near closing time and they graciously seated us. Ambience- compact strip-mall restaurant with about a dozen small tables. This dining experience is great for casual dates and/or family meals. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are large. The parking was a little tight/ crowded so you might need to go early. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Sadly the food missed the mark across the board. I got the crispy spring roll vermicelli and my partner built his own pho bowl. Both unfortunately lacked taste and flavor, and we didn't finish. The spring rolls particularly had a spongy and sharp taste to whatever was in them. The Thai tea however was delicious. read more

This place has become one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. I highly recommend the M10 with 3 flavors vermicelli. They go well with sauces, vegetables, or meat, making them a great choice for a quick and filling meal. It was amazing! The food comes out quickly, which is great! 10 out of 10. read more

Nice setting Service was good Food so so Lacks serious flavor was like a box of unsalted broth with flavorless spice ohhh and they don't have sirrachi (sp) cause there's a shortage. The audacity to be slightly overpriced for the portion size and lack of taste. Didn't take out any pics read more

Pho Viet Flare - Vegan spring M3. Crispy Vegan Rolls Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have such an assortment of cheap-but-good multi-ethnic restaurants around me? Pho Viet Flare has been my go-to when I don't feel like traveling far. If there's a downfall to my visit, it's I almost always know what I want and that's all I get. 95% of the time it's the pork vermicelli, maybe with some spring rolls. But this time I expanded my horizon and tried their chicken wings and a main dish of the VietFlare Rice House Special, which had a bit of everything. The prices are very reasonable, the food is good-to-great, and service is fast. Come here when you need a quick fix. Not shown is how I completely douse my meal in hoisin sauce. read more

My wife and I ate an early lunch there yesterday and weren't impressed but it's not so bad if you need to eat. The service was fine but not welcoming. We were sat down but never checked on after getting our food. While my lemongrass beef vermicelli was ok, my wife didn't care for her BBQ pork vermicelli. No flavor. My flavor was weak. The room could have been better as there cleaning supplies laying around, which takes away from having a better experience. Finally, given the food was so-so, the prices are a bit high and the menu is very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. read more

Holy vermicelli. I got the vermicelli bowl with bbq pork and spring rolls and omg it was so delicious!!! There was a nice grilled flavor on the pork, super crispy deep fried spring rolls and lots of crunchy vegetables - cucumber, carrots, lettuce and bean sprouts. It was definitely a party in my mouth with so many textures and flavors. I also got a Vietnamese iced coffee which they mix for you instead of the traditional drip and I loved how lazy I could be just swirling and sipping away. Excited to come back to try the rest of the menu! Hidden gem for sure! read more

Pho Viet Flare - Vermicelli BBQ Pork & Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

The pho's actually pretty good here. Noodles need work, they have a tendency to break apart, but the soup broth is tight, as are the meats. You have to try the tendon. Like butter! As are the appetizers. Their crispy rolls are amazeballs. Service is reasonably quick, generally polite and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is attempted Frasurebane, 90s chairs, faux plants, saffron walls, the obligatory giant screen TV permanently tuned to some vaguely pan-asian cooking loop. signs, Asianish golden gods, mirror window to the kitchen, and a cluttered bunch-a-crap register/bar round it all out. read more

I had a craving for spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue) so I gave this place a try. I ordered in Vietnamese and also asked for mam ruoc, which is a fermented shrimp paste that goes with the soup. So, I assumed that they would bring me a bowl with authentic ingredients, since I asked for the usual stuff I'd ask at other noodle places. Well, they left out the quintessential ingredient of pork feet/shank! Their excuse was people don't like it. Huh?! The price for this spicy soup was almost $19 and it lacked pork feet/shank? They also didn't have pig's blood. This omission of an important but inexpensive ingredient and the fact that their bowl was below average in size got me pretty disappointed. read more

This place was great and I had several people recommend this place to me. I like that they have a lunch special as well because I want a little of everything with out buying everything individually. It was a perfect portion size and the food comes out super fast. The pho had a delicious broth and my bowl was huge, I almost wasn't able to finish it. The waiter was super friendly and brought me everything I needed before my food came out which is a plus because who wants to wait on additional condiments on a bowl of soup that will eventually get cool. The inside was very clean and each table had plenty space around it so you weren't squished between the people sitting around you. The checkout process was very simple and easy as well. Once you finish your meal you just go to the cashier at the front and pay. They already know what your ordered and a very seamless transaction. I will definitely return. read more

I was initially looking for a pho place, but stumbled upon this one that also has more options than just pho. Ordered summer rolls to start with. It comes as two rolls cut in half to make four. It looked and tasted good. The pho was good - nice portion, good tasting broth, and plenty of bean sprouts to put in it. The pork chop is a really thin cut, and comes with rice and vegetables. The seasoning was good but the meat itself wasn't impressive. The beef stew comes with bread, rice, or noodles. I opted for the bread, which was a decent size and delicious. The stew comes with lime, sliced jalapenos, and basil. I also put in bean sprouts for the crunch to give it a nice contrast. The stew had a hint of spice in it but was not overpowering. The coffee and fresh lemonade was good too. I'll have to get bubble tea next time. Overall it was good and will come back. Parking is minimal with so many shops around here, so plan on walking. read more

Love the place. The price is fair. Staff is friendly and nice. The noodle broths are on point as well as the other dishes and appetizers.

Girl Lunch! I've been a regular to this establishment and I've noticed they are making some upgrades. Starting with the ice coffee, it's now served in a different cup, with a cardboard sleeve. I am combo pho, no meatball girly, extra limes & japs. The soup was served in a bigger bowl that accommodates the broth & toppings. They also have no spoons! I feel like they are bigger and a better fit anyhow! read more

Undoubtedly the best pho noodle soup we've had in Alexandria! I ordered the Chicken Pho with beef broth (5 stars), and he received the Viet-Flare Signature Beef combo (he agrees...definitely 5 stars). Also ordered Tiger Sugar Milk Tea with Honey Boba and it was delicious! The waiter/manager was also very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for great quality, please give Pho Viet Flare a try! read more

Really good Pho! I went here since a coworker suggested it and found the Pho to be absolutely delicious and affordable. There is plenty of noodle and meat that they put in it. However, I did not like that they forgot to give me sprouts and basil leaves with it. But I will forgive them simply because their Pho tasted great and the price for a large bowl is an unbelievable deal. They also have good entrees that are also quite affordable. The portions also looked reasonable too. To be honest, I can recommend them over Pho 95! read more

Sometimes the best food isn't Instagram worthy. Sometimes, food is a moment, an experience that cannot be captured or done justice with a photo. It was cold. I had a runny nose. I needed something piping hot in temperature and flavor. Pho Viet Flare came to the rescue. It's an unassuming dining area, nothing fancy. The real effort is out into the pho broth. Rich, flavorful, and hearty. Delicious. Doctored with jalapeños and sriracha, it was exactly what I needed. And I didn't take my camera out until it was too late. read more

Have you seen the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine calls a Chinese restaurant? She tries to place her delivery order and their like, "yeah, we know, your getting the (insert whatever she ordered here), you always get the same thing" and then the person starts laughing because Elaine orders from this spot all the time and consistently gets the same thing. Well, I was sick and ordered from this restaurant four times in a row and on the 4th day when I told the order taker via phone my name (prior to ordering) , she started laughing...#YesIWasEmbarrassed Anyway, I always get the large chicken pho, it is consistently good. Excellent broth, fresh basil, bean sprouts, lime, etc. it comes out quickly when you order in and is made quickly when you order out. I love this establishment. I love pho. I love broth. This is not a visually appealing establishment, however, their food is deelish, the bomb.com and the beez neez. It is in a shopping center with ample parking. I will continue to be the "Elaine" of this establishment. read more

This is some of the best takeout pho I've ever had. I got the chicken pho and it was delicious. They also allowed me to make some specific changes to what comes on the side due to food allergies. They were very kind about it and got the modifications exactly right. What puts this location over the edge is the quality of the chicken and how they package their takeout. The chicken clearly came from a whole breast and was sliced nicely. The pho noodles and chicken came in a perfect container to eat the soup out of (instead of the typical styrofoam container). You just add in the toppings and sauce, and pour the broth over the top. Great new spot! read more

Pho Viet Flare - Chicken pho in the perfect takeout container! - Vietnamese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Love this place so far! Customer service was very good. Honest and friendly. Most Vietnamese places are quick to grab your order because they assume you know what you want. We were having a taste bud crisis. They gave us all the time in the world and took the time to explain items on the menu. Thanks for that! Viet Flare Bun Special I had was amazing. I have never had that sugar cane shrimp with the vermicelli before! It was an authentic touch! The pork and chicken were made traditionally. Very flavorful. Their Nouc Mam was very good and flavorful. Some places make it too light that you can hardly taste the fish sauce. I also had the Spring Rolls and the Summer rolls. Not much to say here except for that they were authentic. My review will have to be short this time around! I'm going to have to come back to try the rest of the menu. I want to try the Pho! I will provide an update shortly after! read more

After meeting Neal E, the local authority on pho ga at Tabaq, I realized I never had pho ga before. My usual choice has always been pho tai bo vien. I quickly head to my local pho shop today and got a pho ga takeout. Pho Viet Flare did a good job at packaging my soup noodle to go. The soup was in a large quart size container and I didn't have to worry about it sloshing around. The bean sprouts, lime, pepper, basil, and a small container of chili/hoisin sauce were packaged in a small plastic bag. The noodles, chicken, onion, scallions, and cilantro were tucked neatly in a container with dividers. When I got home, I reheated the soup in the microwave, added some noodles, chicken, aromatics, and sauce to taste. Tasted just like if I had the pho at the restaurant. No soggy noodles or overcooked aromatics. The chicken was thinly sliced all white meat and surprisingly moist, which was not easy for chicken breast. It was comfort in a bowl, slurp, slurp. Since I got the large serving, there is still some leftover for tomorrow. Bwahhah. read more

Our family has been coming here for more than a decade! My little babies are now chugging down their own bowls of pho because no one wants to share anymore! Love the hot flavorful broth, the option for egg noodles if you're not feeling the standard rice noodle & the vermicelli bowls with kick-butt pork bbq and chicken bbq. Don't forget the egg rolls cuz the crispy fries are just as good as the summer rolls - the best peanut butter dipping sauce I've had before. They serve bubble tea now! Yay for boba & enjoy read more

This is our local go to Vietnamese restaurant. My wife loves the pho and I love the vermicelli bowls.

I thought this place was pretty okay for their pho! The broth has more of a herb-tone to it, but they do give you less amount of noodles. I wasn't a fan of their brisket, but their round eye was okay. The bean sprouts are fresh, and the service is friendly, but kind of slow. I've also tried their grilled porkchop, which was okay; it comes with sliced cucumbers and a bowl of fish sauce - the porkchop is kind of thin, and it was just okay, but you can pass up on this dish. It's a good solid pho place in the Landmark area, and there seems to be a lot of regulars who come by. +fresh bean sprouts +okay pho +located inside the Van Dorn plaza read more

Decent standard Vietnamese restaurant fare can be found at this strip mall-located establishment. I stopped in late on a Tuesday evening for a bùn bowl. This place offers more than just chicken and pork options, with lemongrass beef and sugarcane shrimp as well, but less options than you'd find at a Vietnamese restaurant in say, Falls Church or Annandale. After placing my order, it took a little while for my food to arrive, about 15 mins, which was longer than I'd expected since bún bowls are mainly cold ingredients with a topping of meat. I ordered lemongrass beef, but I guess in her hurry, the waitress misheard me, so I wound up with a chicken bowl-- the waitress wrote down the wrong item. I hardly ever order chicken when dining out, but I was tired of waiting so I took it and left. Pros: - nice portion of noodles and meat - chicken thigh meat is used instead of breast - lots of parking available - fair pricing Cons: - no Thai basil in the bùn bowl! GASP! - they ran out of summer rolls (the fresh rice paper rolls) - meat was placed directly on top of the rice noodle which made the noodles too hot read more
