Pho Ngon — Restaurant in Franconia

I was working from home and craved for some hot soup. After a few google searches, I decided to try out this place for the first time. Initially, I was going to order pho, but when I asked the server, he sugested me to order the Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) instead so I did. And OMG, this might be the best BBH i have ever had, I dare to say better than my mom's (sorry Mama 😅). The broth was super flavorful, and if you love spicy food, feel free to add sate sauce for some extra extra heat. The beef flank and pork hog were tender, and I also appreciate the fact they used authentic Cha Hue ( Vietnamese Hue Style Pork Roll) and not the regular Cha Lua Pork Roll like many other restaurants I have tried before. The Pork Blood Jelly tasted fresh too which was very surprising to me. If you love coffee, Ca Phe Den Da (Viet Black Coffee) here is a must try, you can tell it's good by the color, darker than my soul lol. Honestly, I would just come here and order the coffee instead of Starbuck. I will def comeback and try something else next time. 👍

Feb 25 Update. Come back again to try the Com Dui Ga Roti (Fried Chicken over Rice). And oh my god. I open the box and chicken wing is bigger than my palm 😂. And for only $13 too. The seasoning is on point chef kiss PERFECTION! I'm so ready for what I'm going to try next here.

March 17 Update. Ayo back at it again with another review. Today I tried the Mi Quang and Che Thap Cam with Durian, of course can't complete my order without the Ca Phe Den Da. First the Mi Quang, it was delicious. If you decide to give it a try, don't be surprise if you see only a little bit of broth, unlike Pho or Bun Bo, that's how Mi Quang traditionally serve. I order to go and still have half a cup of broth left (I will drink the rest for tmr breakfast). 😂 The vibrant yellow noodles? Don't worry it not yellow dye, it's turmeric rice noodle. Secondly, the Che Thap Cam with Durian. If you don't like durian, skip this part. But if you love durian like I do, you will be a bit disappointed. I thought it would serve with real pieces of durian, but they used durian ice cream instead. I cried a little inside but it was a solid cup of Che. Not too sweet and comes with varieties of jelly, beans and nuts which blend...

I was in kingstowne to use the tanning salon, and I wanted some dinner. Didn't want to walk far, so I decided to go to subway. I saw the Vietnamese restaurant and thought, maybe I should try this out. It was 705, they close at 730. I asked the young man there if they were still accepting carry out orders, they were. He gave me a menu, let me sit down and I told him I have never had pho. At that point he started to tell me about it, sold me on the idea, so I ordered a shrimp pho, along with an order of summer and spring rolls. He was extremely friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. While waiting for my food, which wasnt long- less than 10 minutes, I asked him what Thai tea was. He let me have a sample before spending my money on something I may not like. It was good, so I decided to order a Thai tea, which was 3.18 and while looking for change, he told me not to worry about the coins. I like the Thai tea, the spring rolls are excellent, and the pho, even though not my usual fare for Asian cuisine, I normally would have ordered fried rice with pork, or egg noodles with pork or shrimp, I still enjoyed the pho. I can't compare it to anywhere else, but it appears to be made well, I liked the broth it had a fall spice taste, like cloves or cinnamon almost, which was delicious. The customer service though is what really sold me on this place. I will be coming back soon to try the pad Thai. My mother also said she likes this restaurant and has eaten there several times, she...

I think it's about time that I give Pho Ngon it's due!

When I saw the sign they were coming, I was excited, as (IMO), I have to go all the way to Lorton for good pho.

The 1st time we went, we had the #1 combo and it was excellent..... the 2nd time, not so, and I was upset, as this seems to be the case sometimes.

My partner didn't want to give up so we went again and yes! Another home run! This set the pace for this becoming our new spot!

The end of last year I wasnt eating any meat so I got Pho Ngon up for their Veggie Pho. #BayBee lemme tell uuuuuu!!!!! That thang was EVERYthing!

I brought my godmom here as she had a loss of appetite and wanted something light. She was hooked. She later had me running for pickups of plain noodle soup and chxn pho.

Today as I write.this msg, my partner went to work this a.m. and got home a lil after 9 and asked what pho spot was open. Pho Ngon opened at 10, so I told him I'd grab us some after I ran a few errands.

BayBeeeeeee this Veggie Pho is hitting one 1! ....and he in there snoring so that's always a good indication that the food was good.

Pho Ngon keep up the good work! You have a customer, that brings mo customers, for...
