Viet Pearl

Love it here! The staff is always so nice and the food is on point every time. Its really the best. The pho is good, the summer rolls are amazing, and I love the vermicelli noodles with the beef and spring roll. I can never remember the name but it is to die for.

FOOD- 2 regular eye round steak pho, 1 XL eye round steak pho, 1 order of summer roll (lunch special), and 1 order of egg roll (lunch special)The food was good. 1) the prices have increased 2) the lunch special portion was very small SERVICE- nothing special. Our server wasn't very attentive so I had to call him over when I needed something or to get the billAMBIANCE- Probably the best thing about this place! Lively atmosphere. They have a big bar and it seems they have live music (not sure what days). Probably wouldn't be my first pho place pick but I wouldn't be opposed to coming here

Alway a dependable place for good food and good service. The pho was perfect as usual and I want to have an IV of the broth, just addictive. We always find this spot to be consistent and dependable.

Not a bad bowl of Pho, it is very flavorful and not overly greasy. It is a little watery for me but I would love to eat here again.

Service is sketch. I would say they don't care much about customer service but I think it's more like a lack of attention to detail.The food is pretty good, particularly their fried pork chops and Chinese broccoli! It's a convenient stop next to Lotte and we go back for dishes like these but not the more traditional Vietnamese dishes. You may just need to overcome the cheesy interior and sometimes the obnoxious techno music (even during the day). Take out could also be the way to go :-)

The only PHO restaurant in Ellicott City. The PHO portions are the smallest in DMV. Never had a large PHO with only a small amount of noodles. The large portion doesn't even match PHO 75s small portions. Sometimes you get basil sometimes you don't. Their telephone etiquette is hit or miss depending if you're lucky the girls are working that day. My biggest gripe is when we call to let them know something is wrong they hang up on you. There is never a manager present to speak with. We found a black and white hair in the broken rice and wanted to politely let the manager know but there was no manager to speak with. The man who answers the phone just hangs up on you when you're the customer.I think they get enough party and banquets to cover so they do not value the regulars that walk in. So unfortunate, since this could be the best PHO place in Howard County, Maryland.Hair was so disgusting I didn't want to take a photo as it was an inch long and could have been a nose hair.

I had read a review a few months back about their Napoleon Sizzling Beef and thought it sounded interesting and looked good. I mean generally speaking, you can't go wrong with a sunny side egg, beef, and sausage. I couldn't tell what sauce they used. I asked the server and he didn't really say other than there was a marinade. I guess he didn't want to give it away. He did say there was hot sauce which I generally don't like. The dish came with a small baguette and a ramekin of soy sauce. I'm not sure if the soy sauce was supposed to be mixed in. I didn't use it. The portion of the dish was small for $15. Definitely not filling as a meal. Although I will say it was definitely a unique concoction. I think I would have liked it better if they used a different type of marinade. I also ordered the Fried Chicken Wings in Butter Sauce. It took awhile to prepare and came out after the Napoleon Sizzling Beef. The wings were oddly shaped and much smaller compared to the wings I've had at other establishments. I appreciated that they threw in some veggies, but the wings didn't have much flavor. I've had wings in butter sauce at other Vietnamese restaurants that tasted better. I noticed there was an aftertaste too after I was done eating.I had a very early dinner. I got there around 4:20. There was only one other table filled at that time. My server, David, only came by to check on me one time towards the end when I was almost done with my meal. Considering it wasn't busy, he should have come by to check on me while I was eating my sizzling beef to see if I needed anything. I couldn't decide if I liked the decor of the restaurant. If I broke it into separate sections of the room, I did, but collectively it felt like it clashed. Overall, I had a mediocre dining experience. I'm inclined not to return.

I love it here.I've been here maybe three times. Each time has been an awesome bar experience. I really appreciate the staff for teaching us about pho and the many options. I have definitely tried different types of meat based on their recommendation and have been pleasantly surprised. When you come, order the pho. The staff are excellent and willing to help. I come to watch the football games so drinks are important. The sangrias are awesome. Try them all. Drink them all.

Really despised the ambiance. Both the fish tank and koi fountain need to be maintained better. Those fish are definitely stressed and I hated the vibe there. The food was eh. Not remarkable or memorable in any way. I do not plan on coming here ever again. I ordered the regular size but I got charged for the large one. Are you kidding me... This was a waste of money. Don't come here.

So bad. So so bad. Whoever is running this place doesn't care about the customer at all. The food is all completely bland and poorly prepared. A restaurant this bad shouldn't be allowed to exist. It goes to show why it was completely dead on a Friday other than three groups with babies.This place is a blight on our area, the nation of Vietnam, and food in totality.
