Pho Deluxe Tysons is clean, spacious, and casual with plenty of parking and fair prices. The pho is hot and generous, spring rolls are fresh, and grilled pork with rice is a standout. Service is usually quick and friendly, though broth flavor can be on the mild side. A reliable choice for a comforting, no-frills Vietnamese meal in Tysons.
If you would like to know more, Pho Deluxe Tysons delivers a dependable bowl of pho in a roomy, well-kept dining room accented with archways, brick walls, and modern pendant lights. The vibe is relaxed, shifting from lively chatter during peak times to calm and quiet mid-afternoon. Aromas of simmering broth and grilled meats set the stage as soon as you walk in. On our second visit we were greeted as though we were old friends, which might explain why we have found ourselves coming back at least six times in as many weeks.
The phở (Vietnamese noodle soup) arrives steaming hot with a generous plate of basil, lime, and sprouts. It's correctly spelled phở and pronounced "fuh" in Vietnamese, not "foe" as many of us grew up saying. And since phở itself means noodle soup, there's no need to add the word "soup" after it. I was surprised that the full name is actually Pho Deluxe Vietnamese Noodle & Grill, situated at 1577 Spring Hill Rd., Vienna, VA 22182.
Meat portions are hearty, noodles tender, and while the broth leans lighter in depth, it is easily brightened with hoisin or chili. Spring rolls are tightly wrapped and fresh, served with a balanced peanut sauce, while the grilled pork chop and shrimp rice plate shines with smoky char and sweet-savory seasoning. Portions are ample, plating is straightforward, and freshness is consistent across dishes.
Service is generally efficient and friendly, with food arriving promptly. Pricing is reasonable given the portion sizes, and wait times are short outside of weekend evenings.
The bottom line is that Pho Deluxe Tysons won't wow you with flash, but it will leave you satisfied with hearty portions, a relaxed setting, and steady service.
