Hai Duong Restaurant Eden Center

My family has been going to Hai Duong at Eden Center for years and the quality has always been consistent. The staff are friendly and the service is wonderful. I especially love the Cha Ca Thang Long—it’s unique and hard to find at other places. The prices are also very affordable compared to many places at Eden Center. Definitely a great spot for family dinners and a must-visit for Vietnamese food lovers! (The restaurant is known for authentic Vietnamese dishes like pho, vermicelli bowls, and other traditional specialties.)

After a little bit of "grocery"/food shopping, my family and I went looking for a place to eat when the original location planned fell through. Folks at a Banh Mi shop recommended Hai Duong. We were not disappointed. The location is on the smaller side, and the entrance is hard(er) to find (it's inside the shopping center). But the food did not disappoint

Clean, clear menus, very good food! Had the pho - tasty. The fried spring rolls were excellent. The only really negative here was the price. A bowl of soup is $15. That's a tough one to take.

Delicious! We came to see the Moon Festival activities at the Eden Center and ate lunch here before everything kicked off. What a find! The service was prompt and polite, and the food came quickly. All three of our orders were fantastic. I had the bun thit nuong cha gio (grilled pork on rice vermicelli). My pescatarian wife had the com tay cam do bien (seafood, veggies, and rice in a clay pot). My daughter, a picky eater, had the com ga nuong (grilled chicken with steamed rice). We all came away full and very happy, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely eat here again the next time we’re out this way.

Whenever I craved for a bowl of Bun Bo Hue, Hai Duong eden cant go wrong, even today is not even cold outside, I still drop by and get my self sweaty from the amazing spicy broth (its worth it). Everything else is also really good and its also a perpect spot for you and your friends to sit and hang around, they also serves many Vietnamese street food so that we can just sit, talking and have a good time. I'll be back

Great food here. Great service. They’ve got special selections/dishes from Hai Duong (city in Vietnam). The portions are very big for a dish - BEWARE! 🍲

Clean, Hai Duong resrautant has good service. Chicken rice and salad duck are good. Especially, Pho is very tasty.

The pho from here is decent and not overly spiced. The amount of noodles is small for a large bowl and the meat is minimal. This restaurant’s portion is less than the pho restaurants I’m used to from Philly. For the price, it’s ok. If I was craving pho and was in the area, I may considered coming back here.

The food quality is pretty consistent across all of their locations. The portion options are good and the prices are reasonable. We ate here with a group of friends before going to see a music concert. Some of us got the pho and others got the stir fried soft egg noodles. The broth was on the slightly sweet side (maybe a bit too much rock sugar?) but was otherwise clear and fragrant. The service was great! The food was made quickly and was served hot. We also shared a pot of jasmine green tea. It was a satisfying meal that started out night off great. While they have no private bathrooms, the shopping does have public bathrooms around the corner in the hallway. The parking was not bad. There are accessible parking spaces on the side of the building as well.

Some of the best pho I have had in the area!!! A close call with my favorite spot- or perhaps even a tie... :D I think about this place and want to return often. As is with many places in the Eden Center, this is clearly a small-family owned business. Cute, clean, simple! Easy and fast service. Although it says "cash only" in some areas of the restaurant (they should remove these signs), *you can actually use card as well.* One note- as a gluten free diner, it is not clear here what is gluten free. I took an educated guess (I'm not sure the staff knew what I meant when I asked about GF) as most pho is GF, but honestly I would have felt more comfortable if things were labeled or the staff knew what GF was - this is the only reason I have 4 stars, so if you're not gluten free, no worries for you!

If you're in the Eden center area definitely check out this place. It is located in the shopping center closest to the main road and it is one of the first stalls when you first walk in. The restaurant is fairly big so if you have larger parties, I'm sure they will be able to accommodate . The service was very pleasant. They were prompt to get your order and the food came out no later than 10 to 15 minutes. They do also have a large parking lot that is shared across the shopping center, so there's no need to worry about any street parking or walking too far. We ordered the summer roll and the spring roll and both were very delicious and very full of toppings. We then ordered an egg noodle dish, which was also very delicious and the serving of vegetables and meats were very generous, not to mention the size of the vegetable pieces. My friend and I also opted for the pho and the broth was so soothing and clean. Overall, the portion sizes are very generous even for a small bowl.

Located in the Eden shopping center, the parking lot is large but can be very busy! The shop itself is a little tight and they do not allow strollers. I had my baby in an infant carrier on the floor and one of the employees told me to place him on the table for safety...but then told me no put him in the chair...so I was a little off put by that beginning situation. However, the employee I ordered from was fun and efficient. The bún bò huế was delicious and I don't have any complaints. They were accommodating at the end of the day and our food came out fast.

Let's be rieu - you can get pho literally anywhere in the world, but dishes like Bun Rieu and Bun Mam are relatively rare Vietnamese gems that you're not going to find anywhere else in the DMV (certainly not DC, I've looked). Bun Rieu here is likely a light pork broth with some tomatoes, and a slew of proteins (pork bone, cha, crab meat, even a blood cube). It may sound out there, but Bun Rieu is delicious traditional food -- and excellent at Hai Duong.

Every time I've walked by Hai Duong the place has always been buzzing with activity, but never too crazy. We were grocery shopping at Eden center and decided to stop in for lunch. There was plenty of seating and the tables had selfservice chopsticks, spoons, and condiments already, which we liked. We ordered tea, spring rolls, Bun Cha Hanoi, and a vermicelli bowl with spring rolls, grilled pork, shrimp and pork skin. The food was delicious. Our favorite was the spring rolls which were probably the best we've had since we visited Vietnam a few years ago and were the most authentic - unlike a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, they wrapped their spring rolls in rice paper like they do in vietnam which adds a unique texture and crunch to the dish. The service was quick and friendly. You pay at the counter once you're done with your meal and despite the signs indicating that you must pay in cash, they do take cards. I can't wait to come back and try their pho.

This is a pretty good spot for Vietnamese food at Eden. The service is good and the food comes out pretty quick. The interior is what you'd expect with a good amount of seatings. They have a pretty large variety of Vietnamese dishes.

Top DMV restaurant for sure! We get the same thing every time: - #42, Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio: rice vermicelli with grilled pork and a crispy spring roll - $16.95. This is amazing, I love it so much. You get a good amount of meat which is delicious on top of vermicelli noodles. They give you a little sauce to pour on it. The crispy spring roll is also fantastic. - Pho - my husband gets this every time. The broth is so good and it is huge! - #3, Cha Gio, Crispy Spring Rolls - $5.95. I love these and they are fried! Great for large groups, they have long tables they can put together. Parking is easy because it is in the Eden Center and the parking lot is huge. No bathroom. Price is very reasonable.

Such a huge variety of food, both classic and unique! This one is always a hit whenever I have visiting friends & family who want to check out Eden Center. Never too overcrowded, and fast service. An extremely solid place that is consistent.

Awesome vietnamese food ! We had the goi sua Thom thit ( sorry no pictures because we were so hungry and it was so good) and ca kho tho and canh chua ! Very delicious ! Super friendly service from Quang !

Very good food. Fast service. Consistently tasty. My go to place for most viet dishes in Eden center

this No Frills northern Vietnamese restaurant in Eden Center is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the DMV area. The service is incredibly fast and friendly. There is usually not a large number of diners around so it is a good place for a quiet yet delicious meal. I highly recommend the clay pot caramelized fish, as well as the lotus root salad

This is a great option for authentic, homey Vietnamese cuisine. I have been a frequent diner here for many years and the main reason why i return is the consistent quality food you can expect here time after time. Service is typical of most Vietnamese establishments... straight to the point and efficient. This last time I had their signature dish... bun cha Ha Noi ( Anthony Bourdain's favorite) and the cha ca Thanh Long. Bun Cha Ha Noi was delicious like always. The meats were tender, bursting with flavor and with the added char from the grilling; it was divine!. The broth that the meats marinates in is also out of this world! You have to get this dish when you come here. The Cha Ca Thanh Long comes out of a sizzling plate with filets of fish topped with dill. You eat it with vermicelli noodles and fresh greens. This was another hit for me. I am not usually a fan of dill but paired with the fish; it was delicious.

Got the sweet and sour soup and caramelized fish and the vegetables sauteed with garlic from here for dinner! I love the sweet and sour soup with shrimps here. Everything was prepared and put in a box uncooked except the shrimp and soup were seasoned perfectly! You would cook everything at home so everything stayed fresh! A bit of work but it's fine! The fish were seasoned well and tasted perfect with the white rice. The sauteed vegetables and garlic was a bit overcooked, we didn't like it so won't be ordering it again! This restaurant does have a lot of other variety of food on the menu so will deff order from here again!

My parents swear by this spot for Vietnamese food in 7 corners (Eden center). I'm happy to say I was very satisfied and delighted with all of the food we got! We all shared cha gio /fried spring rolls with pork, shrimp, vermicelli as appetizer. You must try these fried spring rolls. The wrapper is perfect texture and super addicting and don't say I didn't warn you! We waited maybe 5-7 minutes for food which was good surprise because I was starving. Me and the hubby ordered the beef pho with flank and Bo luc lac. I dropped my phone in my pho before I got to take a picture (shame!) but it was delicious. I started eating asap and didn't get another photo attempt before it was gone. The broth was tasty and dirty! Only the best way to enjoy it. The iced coffee was very consistent with how I've been drinking it since I can remember. I've added it to my list of top Vietnamese restaurants in the area and will be returning again soon!

Good portion sizes and quick service. The spring rolls and pho were great. The lemongrass chicken was a little dry but the flavor was good.

Eden Center is well-known for its dense and competitive Vietnamese food scene, so Hai Duong's long-standing presence here speaks volumes about the authenticity and quality of its offerings. Our group of six originally planned to dine at Rice Paper, but due to an unexpected extension of their vacation closure, we pivoted to Hai Duong--and I'm glad we did. Tucked just inside one of the indoor entrances of Eden Center, Hai Duong is a no-frills space with ample seating and a clean, casual atmosphere. At 6:00pm on a Saturday, the restaurant was about half-full and we were seated immediately. Service is brisk and efficient--our food arrived in under ten minutes. The menu is impressively broad, spanning from familiar staples like pho (with over a dozen variations!) and spring rolls to more traditional Vietnamese fare such as Bánh Xèo and Bún Bò Huế, and even more adventurous dishes featuring pork blood, heart, and tongue. Whether you're in the mood for rice, noodles, or soup, there's something for everyone here. I opted for the #63: Chao Vit ($16.95), a Vietnamese duck rice soup that's essentially a savory congee with a deeply flavorful broth. It's served with a side plate of duck salad: tender pieces of dark and light meat on the bone, laid over a crisp, refreshing salad dressed in a tangy vinegar-based sauce. You can mix as much of the duck and salad into your soup as you'd like, creating a warm, rich, and texturally complex dish that's both comforting and satisfying. Duck isn't something I often see on Vietnamese menus, so this felt like a rare treat - and the portion was more than generous for the price. Other standout dishes from our table included the Mi Xao Chay ($18.95), a heaping portion of braised tofu atop a nest of crisp vegetarian fried noodles, and the Bún Hai Duong ($18.95), which features rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork, shrimp, shredded pork, and crispy spring rolls. These were all hearty, flavorful, and well-prepared. While the pho and spring rolls were more standard, they were still solid and satisfying. Some in our group remarked on the rising prices of Vietnamese food, remembering a time when dishes were under $10. But as someone coming from Seattle, where a bowl of pho can easily cost $25, I found Hai Duong's pricing quite reasonable - especially given the portion sizes and quality. All in all, Hai Duong is a reliable and authentic spot in Eden Center for a Vietnamese fix. The food is fast, flavorful, and varied enough to keep you coming back to try more. I'll definitely be returning.

I wanted rice porridge and asked around and was pointed to this place. Service was quick. The shop was clean and there were people coming and going. I would say their porridge is very watery and they use a lot of msg in it. It was flavorful but a little on the strong side. I like mine kinda plain. But not bad for a quick bite. They also serve various kinds of noodles that isn't pho.

You can never go wrong with a trip to the historical Eden Center! Known for housing many Asian cultural stores and food marts, Pho Hai Duong is one of the many small but yummy businesses to find here. This was my very first time visiting this restaurant as it's somewhere my boyfriend who is Filipino, grew up going to here in the Arlington/Falls Church area. I ordered a small number 2 and we shared some crispy egg rolls. He ordered a vermicelli dish that had egg rolls in it as well that he thoroughly demolished lol. The service was fast and great. An easy 5/5! Parking does get crazy so definitely try to plan your visit.

Very disappointed and horrible dinning experience here! Because of the all the GOOD REVIEWS , our family and friends decided to take our lunch here. 4 of us came in 1st and told the male employee that we are total of 10. He told us to sat on middle sections with a long tables. While our friends were looking for their parking spot, suddenly I noticed our table had another party if 4 just sat down. I immediately noticed the same male employee, he denied we did not tell him we are 10 people, he told the other party " You sit!" And looked at us " You guys need to move." But we were still move to another table at the back even though we were shocked, because we don't want to argue with him. The same male employee, he was totally not welcome us, very rude and arrogant. Our friend asked for a small bowl for her kids, he rolled his eyes and turned around. When we almost finish, her husband asked to order an ice coffee to go, he told the husband you should go to the cashier, order then pay the bill. Then he looked at me, if you finish, you go to pay and wait outside. I understood the restaurant was busy, maybe you were not in the mood, if you talk to us politely instead of rushing tons with that attitude, will it be better? Don't have to treated your customers like this, just because we are not local?! We are tourists?! We are so regret to had our lunch here experienced this kind of bad customer service, this employee is not capable to handle his job and problem solving.

Tasty pho with big portions, but I prefer Huong Viet a few doors down in comparison. Got tired of that place is i still recommend this place. Nice and clean atmosphere, easy to read and clean menus, plenty of seating. And I enjoyed the soft shell crab appetizer. No complaints on the service and you pay at the front at the end of your meal. Good spot, I'd go again to try other items.

This place is known for their noodles soups. They do a very nice clear broth which shows they make it from scratch. The soups I've had that have been good include their pho, hu tieu, and BBH They are the only restaurant in Eden Center that does a proper Bun Cha Hanoi. They have both the grilled pork n pork patties. The other places only do grilled pork. They don't have a lot of interesting appetizer options other than the usual options but it would be nice if they can add some street food as appetizers like banh beo, banh it, etc... We tried their banh xeo last time there's definitely better ones at other restaurants but it wasn't bad. I probably won't get it again here though.

I really enjoyed the food here! The Bánh Xèo and Hainan chicken rice were both delicious, and the flavors were spot on. The service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt authentically Vietnamese. I was especially impressed by the fresh, traditional fish herbs and vegetables served with the Bánh Xèo, some of them are hard to find at other places. You can tell they really know what they're doing. Dining here felt like a comforting meal in Vietnam :) !

This was pretty good but no wow factor. I think the portion of rice to meat was not ideal. The meat was pretty good and the sauce they give on the side too. I have never tried the egg quiche before. It had noodles inside and I thought it was good. The cucumbers were not crunchy so I actually ended up not eating them after one bite. I also could not finish the rice too. The service was fine. Nothing special. The ambiance was your typical pho restaurant vibes. A little busy and a lot going on. I would probably return to try their pho, but it is kind of hard to get here on a weekday dinner. Lots of traffic around the area.

Ambiance: 7 Service: 10 Taste: 9 One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants! The service is always fast and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. It's a perfect spot for large groups and families, with plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. My personal favorites are the chicken pho, which is warm and comforting, and the banh xeo, which is crisp, savory, and refreshing. The dishes have that homey, authentic feel that always hits the spot!

A little chaotic, food was okay. Noodle soup broth had good flavor. It's a full service place but you pay up at the counter

It's my first time here. Never know food here is so good! We ordered pho dac biet and bun bo nuong. It was excelent. Big protion with lots of meat and veggies! Love the services here. If you come to visit. Come here and try. I'm sure you'll love it!!!!

The boss is very rude and they rushed us out the restaurant even when some of our company wasn't done eating yet! I had 10 guys excepted to come and we notified them, and 4 of them arrived first. We were waiting for the rest to arrive but while waiting the workers put other customers into our table despite us telling them that we were waiting for more people. Another example is when I asked for a small bowl for one of my friends the waiter rolled his eyes at me. Overall the service here was terrible.

This restaurant is absolutely ridiculous. I used to come here occasionally, but after today, never again. Because it was cold outside, I ordered two cups of hot tea. To my surprise, they charged $1 per cup! Hot tea is a staple in Asian restaurants--since when did we start paying extra for something so basic? We had two bowls of noodles and two cups of tea, and the total came out to $50. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not coming back.

It was a cold evening after our Zoo adventure and we pho this place by chance. Usually if the place is packed then it's a sign it's good. The restaurant didn't have any space room because when we were seated, we were so close to other customers tables that it was hard to be seated and not bump into them to be seated or even take off your jacket. My pho was lack of flavor and has an after taste. My brother in law got their signature special chicken rice plate and if you look at the picture, it's more like he got a plate with nothing but bone with little meat. He left hungry! My sister got their BBH and she says it's flavorless and just spicy. Overall we didn't enjoy our meals but to each their own.

Got Banh Xeo and Bun Cha Ha Noi to share for dinner. Ordered online for pickup while there was a discount for doing that. When waiting in the hallway just outside the door for my order to be ready, the restaurant looked quite busy inside, with some people waiting near me for a few minutes for tables to open up. The food was good, especially the grilled pork. The dishes also came with a different selection of herbs from what I've gotten from other restaurants in the past, and I enjoyed the different herb flavors.

Really great Vietnamese restaurant!! I ate here with several friends. I'm appreciative of the fair prices and the great quality of food. We shared an appetizer of Chai Gio (crispy spring rolls), which were delicious. Everyone ordered a different broth - I enjoyed the Mi Tiu Tom Thit (#54 on the menu). It is different from pho broth, more salty in my opinion. I in the mood to have some seafood in my broth, so I enjoyed having shrimp and pork. There's so many great menu options, depending if you're feeling a noodle dish (rice or egg noodle), soup-based dish, rice dish, and all types of protein. Food comes out quick, and service overall is very fast and efficient. Great with water refills, and took our orders very soon after we seated. Ambiance is very casual restaurant. It's great to catch up with friends or a casual meal.

Round up to 4 stars! Shrimp/pork lotus salad is good & same as others Crispy spring rolls is over deep fried but inside filling tastes really good Stir fried seafoods soft noodle, not only smell good, very tasty too Chicken Rice- below average, not recommended it

7/30/23 Today I ordered #26-Banh Xeo (Vietnamese golden crêpe) and 3 orders of the #3-Cha Gia (aka Crispy Spring Rolls).   There is a certain look to the Crispy Spring Rolls I had in mind and several of them I saw had the golden brown look, but not the style I had in mind. I have been to Hai Duong before and my wife has too. We were here before and the experience we had here was pleasant.   The owner of the restaurant remembered us from years of absence.  Nevertheless, he greeted us warmly and I also had the strong feeling the Crispy Spring Rolls would still be made in the style I was looking for. My hunch turned out to be correct. The Crispy Spring Rolls were delicious. Even during the 15 minute ride home, the smell of the food had my mouth watering.  I will be sure to order more of these at a later time.

This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area when visiting friends and relatives. Everything is always super fresh. My only complaint is the menu is so large I have a hard time making a selection. The Bo kho (beef soup) is hard to beat. The flavors are perfect. The cabbage salad is also outstanding. Last night I had the 37, the noodle bowl with everything, and it was amazing. Did I mention I have eaten here three weeks in a row?

Great service, BEST SERVICE amazing tasting food, want to come again, I ate it up so fast

Went here for lunch on a weekday, so it was not busy at all which I love. My family comes here to eat whenever we go to Eden. We got a bun mang vit and com tam bi suon cha. They came out pretty quickly. Loved both dishes! So delicious! Make sure you dip the duck meat in the ginger sauce, soooo good. The duck meat is nothing without the sauce that it comes with. My husband loved his com tam as well. Meat was well marinated.

4.10.22 I haven't been here in years. Prices seem higher than I remember. It used to be considerably cheaper than other restaurants in the Eden Center. Perhaps they are under new management. I ordered the Bun Cha Ha Noi. I thought that they were generally meatballs, but that is not the case here. It came as one pork patty, which was dry. It also had pork strips, which were good. I misread and thought it came with banh hoi (fine rice vermicelli sheets) so was disappointed seeing that it didn't. Kitchen was a bit slow bringing out my entree. My dad received his soup several minutes before I got mine. Overall, it's still good, but if I come back I'll stick to what I used to get, Banh Canh (thick noodle soup) or Com Tam (broken rice).

They charge $18 for a soup that used to cost $12. Although the economy has changed their pho soup changed for the worse. The past 2 times I've visited the both flavor and taste has become more watery/bland and less beefy aromatic flavor. I'd suggest skip this place until prices improve or they put effort into their broth again. Service is quick & ambiance is clean. This used to be the best pho in the area that wasn't cash only IMO.

Our meal was good, but the rice dishes weren't especially filling. The pho broth was pretty good, and Bo Kho broth was nicely balanced (good sweetness and savoriness). However, for some reason my family wasn't that satisfied after my meal here. I wonder if it was b/c the quantity was smaller than our liking? The service and ambiance were OK. After the meal, I headed over to one of the bakeries in Eden center and purchased a Banh Mi sandwich and buns, and we felt more satisfied with those. I would still return here, but perhaps with the expectation I need to order more or get something after.

Ordered a Hai Nan rice to go. Lots of dry chicken bone and 4 pieces of cut up meat for nearly $17.00. Rice was dry and pickles too soft (must be crunchy).

Definitely don't get the pho here - the non-pho dishes are much better, but because of the steep price and the "lots of rice and not much of anything else" portion sizing, I'm giving this restaurant a 3/5. Besides that, the food is quite tasty if you're willing to pay for it. I got the "Com Tam Hai Duong - Combo Rice Dish" for $14.95. The huge scoop of rice took up 1/4 of the plate, super dense and packed. There was a thin slab of grilled pork chop that was marinated and seasoned well, but a sizable amount of it was the bone. The shredded pork was delicious (and had some noodles mixed in?) but not a lot of that either. I love the bean curd, but there was only a small piece of it, sadly. The egg quiche was quite good, too. And of course, the runny sunny side up egg is always a nice touch. I had more than half of my rice left over after I finished everything else. Overall, the entree I got contained way too much rice. The food tasted good, but not worth it for the price.

The congee is super good. The service is incredibly fast. Would recommend. The rice noodle bowl is good and the portions are good

We have been coming here for years and never disappoints. This is our preferred local spot for pho.

Food is awesome. The pho is amazing and Thier crispy rolls taste fresh and not frozen and bland like the rest. The price is a bit much but it fills you up and tastes great. The lady who served me was nice and the owner is friendly. The place is quiet and peacefully and i would come here again.

So many great Vietnamese dishes. My favorite is their Pho. The broth is so good. The staff is friendly and service is quick.

Decent service Decent food, but flavors of the soup base just didn't WOW me. You know the moment the soup hits your palate if it's a winner. . . It didn't happen here. Ordered Mi Hai Duong , duck noodle soup and Bun Rieu.

My family and I regularly go to Hai Duong for its wonderful pho! They get the regular and I get the veggie. So many vegetables and the noodles are often perfectly chewy with delicious broth. We've also tried other dishes which have been equally delicious, but the pho is our favorite. The warm staff are always welcoming us with a smile and they know our orders - so kind, helpful, and very sweet. Often it's busy during regular meal times, but we always get our food quickly and piping hot. Love this place!

Wanted to try a new place at Eden so decided to try Hai Duong for a try. It was decent! The service was a little iffy but they could have just been busy or confused? We hadn't ordered yet and someone went to took our menus. As for the food, I had the Banh xeo chay which was pretty sizable compared to other places nearby. I liked the filling too. It was a decent Vietnamese place. Not sure if I'd return again but I'll see.
