Pho Anh Duong Annandale (Next to H Mart) — Restaurant in Annandale

During our visit to the H Mart right around the corner of this place, I noticed this Pho place which faced the street, which was perfect! Upon entering, the establishment was clean, quiet and smelled clean too! Yes, that matters, because we all know somebody or someplace that ha s abad aroma about it. I ordered the lunch special which as a large beef pho that I could select 3 meats from, a spring roll or summer roll (I got the summer rolls, because they taste wonderful, freshly made at that!), and a soda.....all for $15.99. And my daughter had a kid's pho with either chicken or a slice of beef. The overall taste of the pho broth was ok, I mean it was very clean tasting. May be just needed a little bit more ingredients to give it a slightly salty flavor. Not to say that it wasn't good though, just not crazy I'd come back for more. The summer rolls were alright and the soda came to me in a can. Sort of usual for a restaurant and saves on the amount of glasses that need to be washed. The service was polite, courteous and quick. If you are looking for a nearby place to get some good tasting Pho and also do some H Mart shopping in a quiet area of Annadale, this is the place for you. So as always,...

UPDATE: The manager called me and apologized and made amends. I really like the food at this place. I just wish they didn’t mess up the order for a take-out meal.

So, let’s start with the fact that I asked for no raw beef and they put raw beef in one of the containers.

I also ordered #20 which includes 4 different types of meat.... and what do I get? One and it’s questionable whether it’s tendon or brisket because of all the fat.

Most importantly, I have someone with a cilantro allergy... and they filled both containers with it, when I requested that they not include it in one of the orders.

They paid no attention to my order, which was done in-person at the restaurant. And when I called, they offered a free appetizer for my next order... Really? How about a refund for a waste of my time and money?

Not going back after...

The delivery was prompt, that is the absolute best thing I can say about this restaurant. Appetizer, shrimp and pork spring rolls. The pork tasted like cardboard, and the peanut sauce was extremely runny and tasted like someone added cold water to a packet of peanut sauce. The pho was worse. The brisket, raw meat and whatever kind of meat they put in there was like bone dry flavorless beef jerky. The broth looks like lightly colored hot water and tasted the same. The Thai basil had already passed its freshness date because most of the leaves were black. I’m utterly disappointed and I am calling to get my money back. I do not recommend this for anyone at any time no matter how...
