Isle McElroy’s Grub Street Diet

"A Vietnamese spot where the writer intended to order pho but instead chose the lunch special vermicelli — sautéed veggies and two veggie egg rolls with a can of club soda — and found the dish satisfying even amid brief menu envy from nearby tables." - Paula Aceves

Our favorite Vietnamese restaurant was the prior business that occupied this spot. Was curious to try. Service was great. Loved that there was vegan Pho option so first time I've had Pho since I turned plant-based. Broth was good and portions generous. Tofu was the protein.

We really love this place. Feels like a homey Viet cafe with a wonderful hostess, who is always very nice. The pho is amazing! My wife always gets the veggie Pho and it is full of delightful veggies and rich broth. I always have the lemon grass soup under the specials and let me tell you, this soup is abosolutely amazing! Ask for it with Pho noodles. You will not regret it. Love the summer rolls too.

This place looked very promising, but the food was inconsistent. The pho was pretty good, not stellar. The bun bowl was mediocre, with inedible chicken (that the hostess recommended!), I've had much better at casual counter service places. So ok if you must have your Vietnamese food fix, but otherwise consider alternatives.

The pho had soo much cinnamon in it that’s all you tasted. Even the smell nothing but cinnamon. The chef says we have to put it in. I think that it was most likely gone bad and trying to cover the smell. Place was empty when I got there. I was the only customer. Shame. Def pass on this place for pho. I eat pho 3-4 times a month. By far the worst one I’ve ate in memory. The lady was nice enough to offer me rice or a sandwich . But I didn’t get anything else. Ate paid and left.

I’ve been coming to this place since it opened, I’ve had pho all over the dmv and still nothing has topped the flavor of the broth, so rich and tasteful. The man who brings the pho out always has a smile on his face! This is the spot!

The beef pho was absolutely delicious and packed on so much flavor. The dish came out hot and the bowl was massive. The servers were super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

The design of the restaurant is cute and clean. The service is good. The summer rolls are big and fresh. The crispy rolls are very tasty. I have no idea what is the grilled beef wrap until the plate is on my table. It is not my taste and I don’t like it at all. The clay pot fish is in cast iron pot and compared the same dish to other Vietnamese restaurants that this is not good at all. I should order pho instead of the two dishes. Because looks like their pho got good reviews. Disappointed.

We went to Pho bar last night with our kids. The service was quick and our serve was a kind and patient with our kids. The food was delicious as always and we really enjoyed having some warm soup on a cold day!

Holy crap this was the bomb. Only lived in Lansdowne for 12 years, and just tried this spot for the first time. Usually the only time I get pho is w/ my Korean buddy Joey, but tonight I felt I can handle it since it was Vietnamese. Got the Pho duck special soup & it was insane. Extra noodles, threw in the bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeño, carrot, bok choy, forget it. Full as hell & cant wait to go back.

For the Leesburg area this is a pretty good pho place! It is very flavorful and the portion sizes are generous are reasonable prices. The servers are really friendly and gave us additional napkins without asking. I love how the interior is decorated with neon signs! The fish sauce doesn't already come with chili oil so you will have to ask for that separately. The duck noodle soup was tasty and filling and I love the mushroom, bok choy, and cabbage it comes with! It also came with a side of pickled carrot and radish which is a nice palate cleanser. The duck was a little dry but it was very large and the skin had good flavor. I also really enjoyed their fried egg rolls and shrimp rolls!

Less responsibility from a smaller space gives you more freedom and flexibility to travel or pursue adventures. Hello. When I was nine, I started dating Vietnam women. The very reason for this obsession is because how irresistible a bowl of pho can be. This restaurant is the former Viet Chopsticks and I used to come many times in a year. I still visit this place regularly because it still carries my favorite. Thank God for that. I want to thank Pho Bar for providing their bathroom for me. My neighbors and me pre celebrated my 85 year birthday party. I had the greatest time in the bathroom. I have been searching for a spacious bathroom for many years. And Pho Bar bathroom met my expectation. I was speechless when I noticed the space one time. I will never forget the space and time I actually stayed in it. Anyways, thank you for reading my review. I need to take my medication now. And mostly importantly, do not spend too much time in the bathroom. Life is very short sometimes. Most people will average 1/16 of their lives in the bathroom...

Fantastic Pho place in Leesburg! Popped in for dinner with my siblings to fill our hot soup craving on a chilly fall night. Pho Bar is a lively restaurant that is perfect for big groups or just grabbing a bowl of pho on your own. I got the Pho Tai (Flank Steak) and it paired perfectly with the flavorful broth and add-ins. I enjoy my pho on the spicy side and added plenty of sriracha! The service is top notch with the owners taking their time to be very hospitable to all customers. Great spot to check out if you find yourself in the area!

Stopped by after my kids' football game -- we were all cold and hungry, and the pho hit the spot! The soup was hot, flavorful, and so comforting. They even had a kids' menu, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy. Cozy place with great food and nice service -- we'll definitely be back.

This might be one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Loudon County if not the best. The Bahn Mi is a must have, it's super tasty and the service is always prompt.

Nobody cares club. It looks so nice on the inside. But when you get through the front door it's a bit awkward, do you stand there? Do you seat yourself? "Go sit anywhere at this point..." The service was rough. I had even started a countdown and considered leaving before we ordered anything. I ordered the vegetarian pho and it did not have any flavor at all. It was okay. Glad we tried something new but I wouldn't want to go back.

Tried the Mi Vit Tiem - Roasted Duck egg noodle soup, on their Grand opening day. This was the most succulent roasted duck I had in a long time. The flavor was perfect and am going back this winter(hopefully a lot) The rolls were nicely fried, can't wait to try more appetizers from their menu. Staff was patient and accommodating.

I was looking forward to trying this place out after seeing in The Burn that they had their soft opening this week. We were really hungry and the menu options looked great. We settled on the Bun Bo Hue and the Banh Canh Cua. The server was really nice and mentioned that their Banh Canh Cua was uniquely made and likely not something we were used to. I wasn't sure what that meant at the time, but I was looking forward to it. I definitely understand the growing pains of opening up a new restaurant and working through all the kinks, but wow, the food took a very long time to come out! After about 25 minutes, the manager came by and gave us complimentary iced jasmine tea and thanked us for our patience. About 10 minutes later, the bun bo hue was brought out and the first thing I noticed was how clean the broth was. It was very tasty too. When we were almost finishing up our bun bo hue, the Banh Canh Cua finally came out about 15 minutes later. Generally, that dish is very thick and starchy, but this wasn't at all and I liked it a lot! They were also very generous about the seafood (crab and shrimp) that came with it. I can definitely see why the server mentioned it was different than we were probably used to. Overall, I loved the food. The servers were all attentive and the portion sizes were pretty big. It was definitely more expensive than I'm used to paying for comparable dishes, but I'm looking forward to coming back once they get more situated. I'd recommend not going until they work out their kinks, unless you have a lot of patience.

I came here on their official opening night! Pho Bar is a nice blend between a cute, modern aesthetic and also good actually Vietnamese food. They have two cute neon signs - one at the entrance and one in the restaurant itself. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I ordered the banh beo (which either can be ordered in quantities of 5 or 15). This was so so delicious. The banh beo was nice and thick, but the texture was balanced with a little crispy pork rind on top. The pho itself was good. The broth itself is pretty heavy on the cinnamon/cloves though - it smells more like autumn and allspice. However, the taste isn't overly sweet which is what I was afraid of at first impression. It's not the best pho I've had, but it certainly holds its own! I also tried the egg rolls, which came out super piping hot. They were good!

Food was amazing and the staff was so kind and helpful!! We dined in and everything we got was super quality--came out very quick too (& large portions). We got the banh mi and steak + brisket pho. Will be back soon!

B9. Chin, Nam, Gau, Gan First time eating at pho bar, the first thing you notice is the wonderful decor and layout of the place. Very well designed and welcoming, the atmosphere of the Pho Bar plays well on its name! The food itself is also another main attraction of Pho Bar, very large bowl of Pho with many options to choose from. For those who aren't in the mood for Pho there are other great menu items to choose as well. Will be dining here again

Came here for lunch on Sunday knowing it was their soft opening week. The decor is super nice!! Love the face lift - modern, bright and inviting. We got nem nuong rolls and summer rolls. I was expecting the typical yellow sauce for the nem nuong instead of the hoisin sauce. Ehhh ok. The rolls lacked the sausage, just some thin slices. I was expecting some very generous thick slices for the price. It was mostly veggies. Summer rolls were good - could use some more deveining for the shrimp but no big deal. The appetizers left much to be desired. Both of us got pho. I got the special combo and he got tai, nam. I don't love that I couldn't order a small. I couldn't finish the one sized bowl. It was rather on the high priced side at $15 and I felt like the meat quality could have been better. It was very chewy and my tai was well done and tough by the time it got to me. I got mostly tendons and there were two very small meatballs. Could have made up to be a whole one. Our table didn't get any hoisin sauce for the pho and didn't need any since the broth was on the salty side. They were overwhelmed and seemed to be understaffed at the time. Overall - pricier compared to many pho places around the area. Will try their other dishes but for a pho bar - I was expecting more.

We've eaten meals from both the dining room as well as delivery. Food quality and freshness are terrific. Portions are generous. Service is super quick, friendly and orders are always accurate especially since we get mods to one of the meals. Dining room is clean. Can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. I encourage you to give this wonderful restaurant a try. Their menu goes for beyond pho.

I got takeout today and it was excellent - delicious, very well packaged and hot. The only criticism is that I should have asked for more sauces because they only provided one tiny packet of hoison and chili sauce. I'll definitely go back!

Everything was so delicious. We came on a mom / son date on a day that he had no school. He had never tried Pho! We started with the calamari - a solid choice. It's lightly fried / sautéed and comes atop sautéed veggies and lettuce. It's served with a cilantro cream sauce. It was delicate and delicious. We shared the Bahn Mi - we ordered it with beef. It came on a baguette and was served with cilantro and jalapeños on the side. This was so large as an appetizer, especially since we also had calamari, that we took 1/2 home. I had the beef Pho with steak and brisket. The broth was incredibly luxurious, fragrant, and so flavorful. It's everything you want pho to be and more. I added bean sprouts and basil as well as siracha for a little kick. They were generous with the overall portion and the protein portion was more than ample. The noodles were perfectly cooked and delicate - I will be craving this regularly. I wil say, it was the best pho broth-wise I've ever tasted. My son had the kids beef pho and it had steak - he loved it and even though he was pretty full, he ate 1/2 of it. The leftovers are waiting for when we are ready for dinner! He said five stars and he is so glad for the new experience. He enjoyed his boba too. I had a green jasmine tea, served hot, and it was lovely. They have a variety of items in addition to Pho. They also offer vegetarian options. We'll be back and we give it a standing ovation! 5 stars!

We've been here several times. They're still trying to figure it out in terms of service. The servers are nice but they're running the restaurant with just a few people. That means ordering takes forever, getting the food takes awhile and so forth. Expect to sit and wait for awhile. The pho is pretty good, flavorful and generous portion. The rice dishes never disappoint. My fave is the beef lemongrass soup. The appetizers are tasty too. On the other hand, their banh mi definitely lacks flavor.

I was actually really impressed with pho bar. We took the kids to an interactive dessert cafe in Leesburg and wanted to eat somewhere close by. The pho was great and my kids loved it. Pretty much everything we ordered tasted great and they also had great customer service. Would definitely come back :)

Has anyone been so excited that a new restaurant opened up and end up being utterly disappointed and down right disgusted. Waited for over 30 minutes to get my water. Appetizer came out after our main dish. Asked for extra items that I paid extra for and was being questioned about it. Paid $11.00 for 3 meatballs and a few tendons. What a waste of money (picture added). They were not that busy. Service was horrible. I would say if service was better I could tolerate the food. But all around bad. I have a huge family and will advise them to not bother coming. Finish eating for 15 minutes and still no one has come to give us the bill. I bet if I get up and walked out I will definitely have their attention then!!

Bun Bo Hue Mom got the bun bo hue and said "the soup was okay". It was somewhat authentic and not too salty, but not spicy at all. She was a bit disappointed because there was no huyet (no idea what this is in English). The bowl was lacking in meat but was pleasantly surprised they gave two gio (I'm sorry idk this in English either). Banh Canh Cua: I feel like I was scammed. Okay honestly soup was really good - thick, not too sweet, and not overwhelming full of msg. The noodle were top notch - chewy and fresh. However, the meat in this bowl was lacking. I was asking myself where was the cua? I got two quail eggs, three pieces of so called crab and one gio. Noodles were carrying this $19 dish. Pho Dac Biet: Dad got the pho and throughout the meat he praised the quality of the meat, but also mentioned the lack of meat. Also I forgot to take a picture of the bowl of pho because I was really hungry and started eating, but it was quite odd that the pho came out last considering it's the easiest to make. This place replaced our go-to Viet resturant Viet Chopsticks. Keep in mind right now they are doing their soft opening so the service is a bit slow, but they actually kept the same servers from Viet Chopsticks - so nice to see some familiar faces! From the reviews you can see a trend: lack of meat and overpriced. I definitely will give the place a second chance once they do a formal opening, but for now I'd rather pay $19 for something that would satiate me :(

food tasted authentic. My husband ordered bo luc lac which he liked. I ordered bun Bo hue which was served with right kinds of mints. Hopefully owner doesn't cut costs after opening weeks and change the condiments. Will come back again with family. We need authentic Vietnamese restaurants in the area.

I'm Vietnamese and have been eating pho my whole life. Just had dinner at pho bar for the first time and the food was amazing. I had the summer rolls with pork and shrimp and the house special pho. My wife and daughter both ordered the pho beef. Everything was fresh and delicious and authentic. The food was a bit of a wait for them to prepare fresh but worth the wait. A definite recommendation from me!

We came here and ate because it's close to our home. We ordered the House special rice, Banh Xeo and B3 Thi Bo Vien. It wasn't good as we hope it to be. The meat ball was awful. The pork and shrimp were chewy and over. No taste what so ever. Everything we ordered was a big disappointment. I don't know what those people were eating to give it 3/4 stars. Stay away.

The pho so far the best in this area. The Pho aroma was there, flavor was flavorful, lots of meat and veggies. Crispy fried seafood noodles - wow so flavorful and tasty. I'm coming back ...

The egg rolls are fantastic. Full of flavor, crispy, and not oily in the slightest. Chicken wings are another must. Plump, tender, meat is what you'll find. The spicy option is amazingly delicious, not too hot but just enough to heighten the experience of digging into them. Friendly, attentive customer service is another plus as is the ambiance. Exactly what you're looking pho!

Our favorite pho spot was closed unexpectedly last Saturday so the family & I decided to try Pho Bar out. Overall it was excellent! Spring rolls: crispy and fresh, the dipping sauce was savory and sweet just like you want. My youngest had boba milk tea with tiger sugar and the middle kid had a fruit slush, the loved them! Now the most important part: the pho! Huge portions of meat and noodles which I love because I'm a pho pig. Noodles were soft and not clumped together which tells me they cook to order instead of par boiling a ton in the morning and just reheating. The broth was clean and light but had a northern taste (more star anise than I usually like) but was hot, savory, and hit the spot. Service was excellent! Overall I really like this spot for pho. I'll definitely be back! Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

I really liked the food at this Pho restaurant. The portion size was big and the quality of the meat was very good. Also, the server was very accommodating and brought me extra limes / napkins, she offered to serve me a fork as well and that was much appreciated. The ambiance looked very slick, modern, and clean. I highly recommend trying this spot to anyone that likes to eat Pho.

If you want a good Vietnamese restaurant in the Leesburg and Ashburn, this is the place to be. It's is pretty new but operates like a pro. Always a delightful dining experience every time we visit. We don't have to drive to Eden to get the same Vietnamese flavors that we crave.

I had a craving for pho today and decided to pop in. The pho was very good - a large bowl full. I debated taking my leftovers home since the noodles get mushy, but the woman and man working were fabulous in their approach to my leftovers. Many restaurants give you a container and make you fend for yourself (with normally messy, spilled results). They not only put the rest of my soup in containers for me - they put the noodles/meat and broth in separate containers and put the closed broth container in plastic to ensure it wouldn't leak. I got to enjoy another bowl at home which was great.

As a pho addict, I'm always game to try a new place, and when one opens up less than ten minutes from home, I have to give it a try. My expectations for pho are very high, having had it all over the world. I fear having a bowl put in front of me and then being disappointed. Fortunately, I was very pleased at what I got. The first thing I should note is that the place is clean, quirky (in an uptempo kind of way) and the service is friendly and helpful. I did not find the blend of meats I wanted (tai, nam, chin), so I asked if they would make a "custom" bowl. No problem. Could I get extra condiments (onions)? No problem. A good start! The bowl (one size only, I think) was huge! My kind of meal. :) The condiments weren't quite what I requested (I like scallions pieces, I got sliced white onion) but they all went into the bowl and I added the Sriracha and plum sauce, a few pepper slices, and sampled the broth. Yum! Now, a couple of notes: Cilantro was one of the condiments. I think next time I might do without. But here's my impression based on decades of pho dining: The pots being used to cook the soup are still new. As they age and season, I anticipate the pho will improve. Much like a good wok, a seasoned pot yields a more flavorful product. This needs time, and there's no shortcutting it. It's a good excuse to go back, though. And I will!

My new favorite local pho restaurant. It's hard to find good pho out here in loudoun county. A lot of places are just sorta average in terms of flavor, quality and presentation. This place is definitely worth a try.

Diluted sriracha.... An indicator of a once better restaurant, now in decline. The place has gone down hill.... They have not stocked the asian beers on their menu for a long long time.... I rate a wee sad little single star for this joint as it fades into the wilderness of mediocrity....

I haven't even tried the Pho yet as it has taken forever to get my order. There are 4 people dining inside the restaurant, so my confidence is low. I called to order pho for pickup. I was on my way to the restaurant when I made the call. I was on hold for 9 minutes and still on hold when I ordered inside the restaurant. 20 minutes later and I still don't have my to go order. I mean pho is pho.... I can't imagine that this pho is so amazing I would ever go through this again. I am one of 4 people waiting for to go orders. Now it's been 25 minutes. Save yourself the disappointment. Go somewhere else. Pho Royal off Ft. Evans, Pho-Nomenal at One Loudoun, I am positive both have better service.

Delicious. Easy takeout option and fast friendly service. Some fried items are hit or miss in my opinion. Normally the fried rolls (cha giao) is some of my favorite Vietnamese food, but sometimes here it tastes too much of the oil it was fried in. I stop in regularly for their lemongrass beef which is outstanding.
