    a bowl of soup on a table
    Song Y.

    Delicious BBH! We asked for no ham hocks. Broth is a nice favor and spicier than most other places I've tried in NOVA. This spot is located inside the shopping center at a corner spot. They sell a variety of prepared food, fruit and veggies in the hallway. Inside is about a dozen small tables with very basic decor. Their menu is very small and focused; nothing wrong with that.

    Authentic bun bo hue tucked away inside Eden Center. Hole in the wall, no frills - cash only eatery. Small space with limited seating. Friendly service. Highly recommend. P. S. If it's your first time at Eden Center, this restaurant isn't a store front, it's inside of a mini plaza within the building.

    The bun bo hue (BBH) is delicious! When we arrived, we noticed the restaurant is now called Phung Le. They have a smaller selection of vietnamese noodle soups compared to the other restaurants in Eden center but I highly recommend if you are craving BBH! It has a nice spicy kick and is immersed with lots of lemongrass flavor. Even though it didnt have the pork blood and cha lua it was still really tasty. We also enjoyed the iced tea that was served - I forgot to ask what tea they used but I think it is barley tea and it was very refreshing. 5 stars for the bomb BBH!

    Spicy bun bo hue. Loved it. Great kick if you like spicy.

    Bun bo hue all day. Cash only. There's an ATM nearby there. Don't ask me how I know. Cheers

    Bun mam (fish sauce noodle) soup
    Phuong O.

    My mom heard from friends that this place makes the best bun mam (fish noodles) yeah it doesn't sound that appetizing. Well it's $10 a bowl and it comes with rice noodles, two big prawns, two pieces of cooked fish and served over fish soup. You have to like this to enjoy it. This isn't a bowl of pho, the broth smells and I don't think it's that tasty. You can garnish it with bean sprout, basil, shredded cabbage, and a lemon. We did carry out so I can't comment on the cleanliness of the restaurant or the service.

    My search for Bun Bo Hue in NOVA area might have officially ended. I've always been a big fan of it but I can never find one that I truly enjoy. My biggest mistake as I was going around hunting for Bun Bo Hue was not to ask a Vietnamese where's a good place. A friend bought me over to Phuong Hoang after I told her my never-ending search for Bun Bo Hue. We came slightly after 7.30PM and it was quiet for a weekday. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue (spicy). It wasn't as spicy as I expected but the broth was on point. There's a decent serving of meat ( pig knucles, and blood jello) I added more spicy sauce and shrimp paste? ( it's on the table with clay color). My friend ordered the bun mam (fish noodles) which was delicious and I'll have to come back and try it again in the near future. 2 giant bowl of noodles only cost us $20. It's a small place so I imagine it can be packed closer to lunch or dinner hour.

    One of the best remedies for a cold/flu is a large bowl of spicy BUN BO HUE! You need that spicy, warm, lemongrass soothing sensation in your nose, tongue and throat. The burning pain lets you know its working. I had it to go and the lady really packed it well. She even lined the bag with newspaper. Also gave plenty of noodles, herbs and a little piece of lime. She did not skimp. Also, gave a plentiful amount of MEAT!!!! Theres also them blood cubes which I'm not a fan of but it didn't taste too chalky or bloody. I was very surprised to actually almost enjoy it. I wonder is they prepare it a certain way. Now on to the broth. You know its good when the spicy burning is a CLEAN spicy burn. Most places use some chili oil and it tastes sort of like an oily spicy. Not this BBH! That broth was very smooth, clean, and flavorful with nice heft to the body due to all that collagen from the bones. It really was BBH done right! BBH == Bun Bo Hue if you can't figure that out. Their restaurant front is incredibly small! But cozy! Their decor is not meant to impress you. Who cares! When you make BBH that good, I won't notice anything else! The lady was super nice! She speaks very little english but you can tell that shes very grateful for your business. That heartwarming aura she got might be why their BBH is so good! Also at $11 per bowl, you can't beat that! More people need to try their BBH! Its amazing!!! Better than my mom's BBH.... hope she don't read this.....

They had a good selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. They had a 5-course tasting menu for $75 (also a vegetarian version) or all you can eat for $88 (Monday to Thursday). A lot of the appetizers had shellfish, so just read carefully. They do have a few options that don't include. Ordered the Risotto and it was absolutely DELICIOUS (my friend added scallops). Dessert was Yucca cake with ice cream which had an amazing combination of flavors. I'd come back to try their other dishes and drinks. Overall happy with the experience. (We had a reservation for 7pm). You don't have to wait for your whole party to get seated which was nice (at least for under 4 people). Seemed ADA friendly.

Hoang Viet Restaurant can be hard to spot, as it's inside one of the little indoor shopping complexes in the corner of the broader Eden Center complex, right across the street from Happy Lamb Hot Pot. However, if you are lucky enough to find this shop, prepare to be wowed with some of the best and most authentic Hue cooking in the DMV. This no-frills restaurant centers on Central / Northern Vietnam, with a particular focus on Bun Bo Hue, a super flavorful spicy beef and pork noodle soup with a rich, spicy broth and tons of mix-ins. I'm still dreaming about their bun rieu, a beautiful crab and shrimp noodle soup that comes with a generous helping of chewy rice noodles, tender and juicy shrimp, and a deeply flavorful, slightly spicy, and slightly sour and tangy broth made with tomatoes and crab. It comes topped with fresh scallions and green onions, as well as a few fried onions for a bit of crunch. The service is efficient and friendly, and the food comes out incredibly quickly. When you're done eating, you can walk up to the cashier to pay.

We also got the Bún bò Huế which is a noodle dish with different cuts of pork and beef, a shrimp paste meatball, pork blood and rich broth. We also got lettuce, mint and limes to go on top of the soup which added a nice freshness to the whole bowl and changed the flavor in a great way.

If it were not for the presence of my companion I would probably have complained to the assistant manager about the waitress' rude behavior. Furthermore, a comment or two on the quality of the food. The seafood bird's nest dish had minimal portions of seafood -- four small shrimp, two small scallops, and three small pieces of squid with less-appetizing pieces of vegetables -- all for $23! 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. Three dishes cost us $71. including tax, We left the restaurant still feeling hungry. Please, dear waitress, you don't own the place, please have better customer service, or we will unfortunately air our grievances on online reviews like this one!
