After a few misses on King Street, we decided to give Saigon Roll a try, and we're so glad we did…read more We ordered the Beef Pho and the pork vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and fried spring rolls. Both were excellent. My vermicelli bowl was the standout--perfectly seasoned grilled pork with just the right amount of spice, fresh vegetables and herbs, crispy spring rolls, and the perfect balance of noodles and toppings. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The pho was just as good, with a rich, comforting broth and tender beef that really hit the spot. 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. We'll definitely be back. If you're craving fresh, flavorful Vietnamese food in Old Town Alexandria, Saigon Roll is absolutely worth a stop.

Service was quick and the server was friendly. There was no wait and I came here around 2:30pm in…read morethe afternoon during the week. Food was just 4/5. I had to take off 1 star because although the pho was delicious with flavor and good proportion of meat to noodles, the Vietnamese iced coffee was too sweet and the rolls I ordered to go were just okay to me in regards to taste and flavor. 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.

Great food and service!…read more We came here for lunch with our 2 kids. Ally was our server and was super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious.

Highly recommend for lunch or dinner!

Their tom yum seafood soup is good though, as was their yuzu mocktail. The mango mocktail is a bit on the sweet side. It's the Pride Month and the whole place is decked out with rainbow flags including on the tables. They also added many national flags on the ceiling, presumably for the World Cup. Very joyful! They offer two specials (see my photo of the menu). The duck red curry is great, comes with tempura green beans and thin, scallion pancake (crispy!). Menu says roti flatbread, but in reality it is East Asian style scallion pancakes which I don't mind; in fact I love it. The ladies' room is spacious and clean by the way. They have separate men's and women's restrooms.

Initially, we wanted…read moreto grab American brunch nearby, but the wait was over an hour, so we decided to go to Indochen. It's tucked inside of the hotel lobby, a bit odd, but the food was good. STEAMED CHICKEN MOMO (6) - 13 The chicken momos sat on top of a creamy chili garlic sauce that was a bit spicy. The momos were juicy and the filling was soft and flavorful. Good appetizer to share between the three of us. BUTTER CHICKEN - 19 Creamy and rich, tasted a bit sweeter than I was used to, almost like a chicken tikka masala. Pretty standard, but got the job done. Plenty of chicken in our curry. SAAG PANEER - 19 Vibrant green with the perfect loose, creamy texture that wasn't too chunky. Good amount of paneer in our portion. The spinach actually tasted like spinach, which I find rare at other restaurants that also serve saag/palak paneer. Definitely one of the better ones I've had! GARLIC NAAN - 4 Pretty typical, but good nonetheless. It was a bit greasy than I would have liked, but went well with the curries when we wanted to switch between bites of the basmati rice. Portions were pretty big and generous. Everything we ordered hit and all above average. The three of us were quite full after sharing an app + naan + two entrees. Stop by if you're in the area!

About a 1-1.5: Not sure what is going on with Noodle Box, but their consistency in terms of the…read morefood preparation and flavors, along with their drink menu, needs a lot of work. We have enjoyed this semi-fast casual Thai eatery for their noodle dishes and their teas - however, the noodles have been constantly overcooked, being gummy and overly 'swollen'; the sauces are hardly dressing any of the ingredients. The drinks, in which we usually find refreshing, are super watered down and flavored with artificial syrups, making them undrinkable. We have left tossing multiple items, as they were just inedible. In addition, the space just has this unpleasant sewage-like odor, which isn't great if you plan on dining in. Staff are pretty friendly. No dice, Noodle Box.

Delicate Hot Chocolate…read more I have long been an admirer of fine hot chocolate. Traditionally, I would visit Starbucks or a contemporary coffeehouse, only to receive what often felt like mocha syrup blended with steamed milk--pleasant, perhaps, but rarely memorable. This morning marked my first visit to Tatte Bakery & Café in Old Town Alexandria where the hot chocolate proved to be an unexpected delight. The associate explained that it was prepared with semisweet chocolate and warm milk. Intrigued, I ordered a small and chose to enjoy it outdoors. The price was refreshingly reasonable, while the bakery's bright interior and refined ambiance created an inviting first impression. My drink arrived within approximately five minutes, presented elegantly in a cup and saucer. The temperature was perfectly warm--comforting without being excessively hot--and the overall presentation was quietly sophisticated but has room for improvement. Then came the taste.... The texture was exceptionally silky and smooth, with no grainy residue, excessive sweetness, or bitter aftertaste. It was rich without being heavy and indulgent without becoming overwhelming. Even better, it left behind no awkward crown of foam. I have enjoyed hot chocolate in Sicily, where the experience was quite literally a cup of melted chocolate--decadent, dense, and almost dessert-like. Tatte's interpretation was more delicate and restrained, yet equally satisfying in its own way. Tatte has now earned first place in my personal ranking. There is, however, still an opportunity to elevate the service experience. A cloth napkin and small spoon presented alongside the drink would add a more polished touch, while a subtle soupçon of finely shaved chocolate would enhance both the visual presentation and the final sip. Overall, I award Tatte's hot chocolate an A-. I look forward to seeing whether it can achieve an even higher distinction upon my next visit.

Let's face it. I like Tatte a latte!…read more Beautiful pastry case, inviting treats, Parisian-style cafe. It's a bit inconvenient that you pay at the counter but pick up hot drinks at the bar. When it's crowded you can barely hear your name. We stopped in the late afternoon and it was cool and empty. I had a delicious matcha latte and some lovely baked treat. Thanks a latte, Tatte!
