Pho Factory

The food here is amazing. Had the combination phở bowl and the vegetable fried rice. I came for the phở, but was blown away by the fried rice. I know, how can fried rice be anything special, right? But it was. Delicious flavor, not greasy, light and airy. I can’t wait to have it again.
The staff was nice, especially since I came with my 1 year old daughter, who can make a bit of a mess when she tries to eat fried rice. I will definitely be returning. Soon.

I was having a huge Phở craving so my BF decided to take me here to try it out. The restaurant was clean and the service was prompt. We ordered the crispy egg rolls and I have the veggie and Tofu Phở. The broth and noodles were good and the egg rolls were okay. As I am a huge fan of bubble tea, I decided to try theirs out… Honestly it wasn’t terrible, but I have had better in the DMV area. Overall a very good experience, I would probably come back if I am in the area.

Rainy Sunday’s = Phở Sunday’s. Always a simple yet pleasant equation, so naturally today was no different. Got to try this place after hearing some things and after frequenting several phở spots in the area, my take on it is A OK
pros —
— Nice interior, rivals phở deluxe.
— reasonably priced
— they cut the summer rolls into pieces, good for sharing
— decent broth, I got the well done steak phở and meat hating friend got plain noodles (for why?).
Cons —
— not conveniently located for arlington/​DC dwellers — there are closer spots just as good if not better
— service is subpar, but this is pretty common at most phở establishments.
If I’m ever in area and craving phở I’ll most likely hit up phở factory

Summer rolls were good. The sauce for the summer roll was good and they gave me extra peanuts! Phở with everything was not bad. Tasted better with sriracha and hoisin sauce mixed in with lime. Overall, I think this place is decent, not great but not bad. Good to stop by if you are in the neighborhood, but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

This is my go to Phở spot in my area, anytime I have been sick and in need of some good soup, this is it! They have always been consistent for me. I always feel that much better after drinking Phở here. The broth is so rich, clear and clean. I usually just place an order for pick up I’ve never sat in and dined. But when I call they take my order and when I get there its always ready and on time! Oh if only they delivered, I would definitely order more often as I don’t currently drive, but its worth my money. I recommend to anyone who wants a good consistent bowl of Phở! Its a mom and pop type of restaurant, your not going to get the fancy aesthetics here, if you want to just be in and out call ahead and order, I only come here for what they are known for and that is Phở, never tried anything else. and I’m fine with that!

My go to phở place when I need my fix. They are very quick to deliver your phở, no matter if you are dining in or taking out. The restaurant is relatively small, but a comfortable size. It doesn’t get too busy on the weekdays, which leaves me a bit confused seeing that their phở is just plain awesome.
Anyways, I advice my fellow phở lovers to come by and enjoy what Phở Factory has to offer!

Stopped by here on he way back to our hotel. The food is fantastic and you can’t beat their prices. Everything is authentic and its a vey spacious restaurant. The service was not the best, but not bad either. Plenty of parking in the lot too.

Stopped in for bubble tea. The restaurant is clean and tidy; though the surrounding strip mall seems fairly dated and rundown. Parking in front of the restaurant is a strange cul-​de-​sac that requires an awkward 3-​point turn to park elsewhere if no spots are immediately free.
The bubble tea itself isn’t noteworthy and borders on bad. The bubbles are not cooked properly and have a strange chalky, hard, chewy texture. There are a handful of flavors offered, but the two sampled (strawberry and passion fruit) were both clearly powder based and separated quickly. While passion fruit is understandably difficult to procure … strawberries are not an exotic find in these parts, surely they could have been found … say in the asian grocery store 50 yards away?

The food is delicious. I had to change my order after it was completed. The staff was very accommodating.

Quick and professional service. Restaurant is small but not overcrowded. Phở was really good and so was the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl. Will be back again!

Came here for lunch, I ordered my usual things like phở tai and an order of spring rolls. Phở came out nice and hot, the broth was ok though, it didn’t have that fresh phở aroma taste… they didn’t skimp out on the meats but their phở dac biet didn’t have all the meats in that is considered special phở.
Spring rolls came out hot and crispy, made to fry is what I like. Not a bad spot, I’ll be back for more!

We came here March 13^th. We have never had Phở or Vietnamese food ever. I ordered the grilled chicken rice plate, my husband the curry lemon grass chicken, and a kids phở chicken bowl.
Our dishes were amaizing. I hate curry and tried my husbands plate, I could have eaten the whole thing. Which he did. My grilled chicken was marinated in a lemon grass seasoning and grilled. It was absolutely amazing. I am unable to describe the flavors we stated in the Phở soup, but oh gosh was it to die for. We loved it so much we ordered the same dishes to go. A must try place!

Honestly not super impressed. Walked in later afternoon on a weekday after my doctor’s appointment and the factory was pretty empty. Service was super spotty and the décor bare. But I was here for the phở that I had heard great things about! I had the veggie version — definitely flavorful, but chockablock full of broccoli, something i asked my server to remove specifically — twice! Anyways. The portion size was huge and my friend ended up finishing it. We also shared the veggie spring rolls — average and maybe a little too oily.
My friend had the butter fried chicken dish — again HUGE for what we paid, and not stellar as the multiple signs around the place suggested. It was freshly fried chicken, but wasn’t as succulent as I might have liked.
The one thing I was absolutely bummed by — the boba. The lychee drink itself was sooooo yummy, but the boba was underdone, check out my picture — it was a big clump of underdone boba in the middle of my drink. It was horrible and made me very sad.
Will I come back again? For the veggie phở, maybe, but that’s it!

Let me start off by saying this place is my regular weekend hangover spot. It’s open the earliest (10 AM on the dot) and it’s the closest place my friends and I can struggle over to after a night polishing off Jack and Cokes and Jäger bombs until last call.
I know everyone has their holy-​grail, swear-​by-​this-​place-​and-​only-​this-​place-​for-​phở restaurants, and simply stated, I’ve had better phở in Falls Church and in DC. As many times as I’ve been here, 80% of the time the service is slow or someone’s order is messed up (wrong bowl of phở, forgotten spring rolls, nuoc dua never comes out, etc). However, their broth is nice and flavorful, their vermicelli bowls are overflowing, and the spring rolls are up to par with any other 4 – 5 star Vietnamese establishment. Parking is annoying (be prepared to park near the grocery and walk) and the men’s bathroom handle often locks you in (per my friends, not speaking from experience) but for phở at 10 AM, this place will suffice. If you need wifi to check in on Unilocal,ask one of the servers who will write the password on a napkin for you.

Very good phở. I usually look for rich and tasty broth when I’m trying a new phở restaurant. I found that here. This is my go-​to phở restaurant in NoVA right now. It’s in a inconspicuous strip mall, but interior is very modern. Phở starts from $ 7.95 and up.

A hidden gem tucked inside of a nondescript shopping center! Phở Factory is sandwiched in a little corner right next to Heebeen, so it’s a little difficult to locate. I, unfortunately, am not a phở lover. My review will focus solely on the chicken vermicelli I had last night. First off, portion sizes are enormous. I usually have no problem finishing this dish at other Vietnamese restaurants, but I had quite a bit of food left over at the end of my meal this time around. The chicken was well-​seasoned and tender, and I really appreciated how they loaded your bowl up to the brim with fresh veggies (bean sprouts, mint, lettuce, peanuts). Service was quick and efficient; I think the food came out in less than 10 minutes as well.
Despite the fact that Phở Factory is located inside of a sad looking shopping center, the restaurant itself is super shiny, warm, and inviting. I’m kind of disappointed that it took Will C. and I this long to give Phở Factory a shot. It’s always been on my radar, so I’m really glad that we finally decided to take the plunge!

Phở Factory is located in a strip mall on Little River Turnpike (in the same shopping center as Grand Mart). Both Alexis K and I was craving a chicken vermicelli bowl so we decided to go here to satisfy the craving. The ambiance at Phở Factory is fancier then the standard Vietnamese restaurants around the area. Their menu contains various Vietnamese cuisines, it’s not only limited to phở. However most people dining in were eating phở. That segways into my next point the prices for phở here is pricier then other places.
As far the chicken vermicelli bowl goes it’s a good bang for your buck. They are very generous with the amount of chicken, vegetable and vermicelli they provide. Typically after eating this dish at other restaurants I leave 50% filled but that wasn’t the case here. The chicken itself was marinated well and moist. The vermicelli was also cooked al dente.
As far as service goes– it’s standard Asian service so don’t expect much. You get water and the utensils, order the food and then you will not see the waiter again until you are ready for the check. After my recent experience with them I believe it warrants another visit to try out their phở. After seeing all these positive reviews for this place I am hopeful their phở is so good that they can warrant charging a bit extra. Until next time.

The phở broth is so good!
Also enjoy their butter garlic fried chicken or whatever iteration of words they use to describe those lightly battered perfectly seasoned crisp and aromatic chicken wings and drumsticks.
I got a taro boba there too which is okay.

Anecdote: I had no idea what phở was until college and scoffed at the idea of wanting phở on a cold day. Well now it’s cold, I want phở and I was pleasantly surprised.
My go to is phở ga or essentially chicken noodle soup. The broth was the right amount of flavor and sodium. The noodles were generous, as it should be since it’s just noodles, the amount of chicken was average. I typically add at least two handfuls of bean sprouts and I barely made a dent in the plate stacked with sprouts, basil and peppers (I don’t remember if there were limes).
The service was excellent and all for less than $ 10 and in DC (Lincolnia)? Again this is essentially chicken noodle soup yet I’ve seen places in worse areas charge more for less. Beer selection was bottom shelf but you’re not here for beer. Not evaluated were the spring rolls and other appetizers people typically order with phở.
True you can get phở almost anywhere but the size, quality and price is hard to beat. Recommended if you live near Lincolnia but I wouldn’t leave the District for it (although I don’t know of any phở that is worth the traffic).

Awesome: D
Came here after work one day. We were actually in the mood for Kabobs but due to the big snow storm, a lot of shops didn’t open. Enter, Phở Factory. They were open!
Boy are we glad they were because that snow was coming down hard and we were tired. Turns out a big bowl of hot soup was exactly what the body needed (though my heart was set on kabobs… lol). The employees are super sweet. Our server was very kind with a big smile right from the start and he was so patient with us. I haven’t come across service this friendly at a Phở joint in quite some time. The friendly service was greatly appreciated! It also made the food taste that much better.
The food here is great. Their chicken wings are awesome. Nice and crisp with a sweet and spicy sauce all over. Different and good. The crispy fried egg rolls are OK, I’ve had better. I love that they offer a nice variety of vegetarian dishes and bubble tea. The broth in their phở was good and they are generous with the portions.
I’m glad we dropped by and will definitely be back.
