I think it is near Cascades Parkway, but way before the new Harris Teeter or the big monster church. Sat Jul 16 11:06:10 -0700 2005 0 Robert M 1 940727 Yeah. I've been there and was not too impress with it. If you in the Sterling, Herndon, Chantilly area then go to Pho Bac at the Sullyfield Shopping center, corner of Centreville road and RT 50. I think it's better there. Mon Jul 18 14:13:54 -0700 2005 940671 0 Dave Wang 2 940782 I think that was the place that used to be in Silver Spring Maryland, off Sligo Ave years ago? It was very nice then too. Im working way up in Ashburn Va. Not much cept strip mall foods along 7. So far..... Tue Jul 19 11:06:04 -0700 2005 940727 0 Robert M 1 940811 I've been there. It's okay. I'll be back, because sometimes I work near there, and I will give some details after another visit. I had pho tai nam and cha gio (fried spring rolls) and it was very nicely presented but not really special to eat. I would not recommend the cha gio. The meat in the pho seemed overcooked but overall the place was miles ahead of the nearby chain-restaurant hell. Anybody have the word on Taste of Viet Nam? It's supposed to be near there but I have not found it yet.

There are two in the same shopping center. Both make you consider the drive all the way to Falls Church, or Arlington. And Im not all that picky. Just needed a Pho Fix. Their stuff was just hot water. And expensive hot water at that. Just my 2 Cents worth. Wed Jul 20 07:42:58 -0700 2005 940811 0 Robert M
