Viet Chopsticks - Washington DC

Get #52 you won't be disappointed. The grilled pork is so yummy! It's a sweet and savory flavor and just hits the spot. The calming environment and friendly staff is enhanced by the smooth jazz. Khalil and Maddi are so friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10 will be back when visiting DC again.

Overall, it was a good experience. I ordered the crispy spring rolls and the banh mi. The spring rolls were different from what I'm used to, but they were quite tasty. Each order comes with two rolls. The chicken in the banh mi was delicious! However, the sandwich itself was a bit dry due to the baguette bread. I would have preferred it with some mayo or a sauce for added flavor. Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable. The restaurant's interior is really nice as well; I initially thought it was just a takeout place until I walked in and discovered it's a complete restaurant.

First, the fried chicken was undercooked in the middle. Next, the beef in the noodle bowl was also not properly cooked. To make matters worse, the smell of the meat was absolutely terrible. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I notified the waiter, and he said he would inform the owner, but by that point, I was already frustrated.

I wish the chicken pho broth had a bit more flavor. Additionally, the hoisin sauce seems a bit diluted.

Fast service. They had an extensive menu (not jus Pho). No complaints on food at all, everything was delicious. Prices were very reasonable.
