Suong Long - Falls Church

The hotel is located in eden they know it must be decent to survive with all Vietnamese restaurants there. party of 4. no reservations and were sitting immediately. I had the shaking cow, menu

Having moved from Southern California where they have amazing Vietnamese food, I was looking for a place that was authentic at affordable prices. Luckily Hai Duong does just that. The space is situated in the Eden Center Mall but is super spacious and great for large groups. The menu is super expansive but everything is really solid. They have some of the best pho even though they don't specifically specialize in this like other Vietnamese restaurants. I also love their rice dishes such as the combo plate with shrimp cake, pork chop and vermicelli pork. So solid!!! Highly recommend to also get a side of broth with any of your dishes; is SO good. Service is friendly and overall it's a great place to go and I always crave it!

The bahn xeo (Vietnamese crepe/pancakes is crispy and satisfying

I 've honestly been looking for these lunch box-style meals for awhile. While I 'm use to the Taiwanese/Chinese versions of these I know that these meals are always going to be extremely filling and cheap. You get a huge amount of rice and then choose from two meats and a vegetable for $10 cash. It 's a very quick visit and is meant to be eaten elsewhere. The woman helping me was kinda aggressive with her selling and kept repeating words over and over to me like I was deaf. And then when I asked her if I could have a tofu dish as my vegetable option she about punched me. No no no no no meat! Only vegetable! And then automatically fills my box with broccoli. Alright, but tofu isn 't meat either...Sad face. Everything is delicious in that home-cooked way. I bet it 's because most of it is made from love and maybe like 10% anger.

We visited at the end of February and, perhaps because of concerns about COVID-19, the restaurant was not very busy. Our pho arrived just five minutes after we placed our order, and it was delicious. If only the server had been a bit friendlier, I would have given him a five-star rating.
