2D Noodles — Restaurant in Alexandria

Tucked away with plenty of parking, 2D Noodles is a sneaky little win for a quick, tasty lunch. The scallion pancakes were smaller than I imagined, but they packed such a crunchy, savory punch that I almost forgot to share. I went with the lemongrass chicken vermicelli—fresh, flavorful, and shockingly generous for the price. My son is now a full-blown Pho Thai evangelist—he loved the balance of noodles and meat and wouldn’t stop talking about it.

The service was friendly, and the vibe on a Tuesday afternoon was calm and easy—exactly what you want when you don’t feel like rushing. Bonus points for the clean bathroom (we all know that matters).

I would definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quick bite and plenty of Asian cuisine options.

Pros: • Flavor-packed dishes • Generous portions • Plenty of parking • Friendly service • Clean bathroom

Cons: • Scallion pancakes smaller...

My family loves this new Vietnamese restaurant that opened recently. It has been 20 years since Nam Viet was here. Food to order:

Pho #8. They give a lot of tendon. Ask for the sprouts and basil if they forget.

Fried Vegetable spring rolls. They are better than the spring rolls next door at Sushi Xprsss and Chili Wok 2 doors down.

Vermicelli Noodles with lemongrass chicken. Out of all the vermicelli dishes, this is the best

The Bahn mi is not authentic. Their bread is not made in the restaurant and it isn't toast to be crispy. Their veggies are not marinated enough. And they are small compared to DC Sandwich in Falls Church and these sandwich are...

Went during the soft opening and it was great! The food was super yummy. I had the pho and my daughter had a rice and pork dish. Dumplings were stellar! The service was very warm and friendly. And the place is totally adorable! They are actually still finishing some design details, but it’s looking great so far. Well done for so soon...
