Pho U Vietnamese Cuisine is always a welcome option when I spend a couple of nights in Alexandria. It's got a very respectable selection of classic Vietnamese dishes, which are well prepared, and sold for a fair price. They also have helpful staff, so what's not to like about that?
They are located slightly off McArthur in a small strip mall located on a side street. This facility has an ample parking lot, with handicapped access. The interior has great futuristic lighting fixtures, and comfortable seating. I personally like to dine in, but it's easy to see that they do a brisk takeout and delivery business.
So what's to eat, pretty much all your Vietnamese favorites. I suggest starting off with some Spring or Summer Rolls, but there are other great options. Rice bowls are always a great and light option. For the timid, there are fried rices. But for the Vietnamese fans, the Pho is the way to go. Pho is of course the signature soup dish that comes with a variety of options. There are other great soups as well. It's easy to understand their menu, so exploration can be fun.
Pho U is a great option for the Alexandria food scene. I think they compare favorably to Vietnamese restaurants in bigger and more cosmopolitan cities. I do not hesitate to recommend them.
