Pho 102 — Restaurant in Chantilly

Yesterday I decided to pick up dinner for the extended family and got a substantial number of items. I enjoy the richness of the broth and as its allergy friendly it's safe for my grandsons! I also purchased the chicken wings which are a favorite of my daughters. I added the summer rolls as having the dual proteins (beef and shrimp) are a bonus! The options available on the menu answer the needs of my family's palates providing the pho, both beef and chicken, as well as the seasoned pork or lemongrass chicken to satisfy my picky family. I also got a variety of condiments... of course the standards of hoisin and sriracha. But I found out about the other options saté a combo of red pepper flakes and chili oil and crushed lemongrass in a chili oil! This is so good mixed with the dipping sauce for the summer rolls or added to the pho. The staff was so accommodating, especially Koi (sp?) who helped me by carrying my items to my car and made multiple trips since I asked for additional basil after the fact. The family enjoyed the dinner immensely! I also ordered additional items for dinner...

I stopped by on a trip to DC for a casual summer roll to go. Because I’m special I bought another summer roll from the business a few stores down. This one took the win, so much so that I’m writing a review, who writes a review for a summer roll? When it’s that good, Me.

If you’ve stuck around this far I’m guessing you’re a summer roll connoisseur. Keep reading.

The comparison went as follows:

Pho 102 summer vs Other *Pho 102 the rolls came in a smaller package, more environmentally friendly. *Pho 102’s roll weights twice as much as their competitor, keeping me fuller for longer. *Pho 102 had TWO peanut sauce containers vs 1 sweet and sour *pho 102 had like 3 times as much tofu and it was cooked, nice and warm. *Pho 102 rolls cost less. *Pho 102 already has a vegan roll option so it saves time and I don’t have to explain myself, giving me more free time to live my best life.

The verdict is clear. This has been one my favorite rolls thus far,...

Cat's out of the bag; solid pho here's so good, they're even busy for early lunch!! ...so nicking a table wasn't looking easy but one serendipitously opened up just as we were, lucky us. Lots of sods milling about just after.

Warmly welcomed with friendly well intentioned but overextended service, the sort that forgets things or comes late with refills or condiments or whatever. We had our own small issues as did others who weren't as good natured about it.

Cha Gio, their take on crispy spring rolls was nothing short of awesome. Deliciously crispy with a special flaky way about it. And probably the largest ones I've seen that weren't egg rolls. Very Nice.

Veggie pho's broth was wondefully rich, gloriously steeped. Large bowl was too much, enough to stuff me up and leave me with a good bit of takeaway. And they weren't cheap with the veggies either; lots of big oversized ones. I don't think I've ever seen tofu slabs that thick in pho...
