Hai Duong

My parents swear by this spot for Vietnamese food in 7 corners (Eden center). I'm happy to say I was very satisfied and delighted with all of the food we got! We all shared cha gio /fried spring rolls with pork, shrimp, vermicelli as appetizer. You must try these fried spring rolls. The wrapper is perfect texture and super addicting and don't say I didn't warn you! We waited maybe 5-7 minutes for food which was good surprise because I was starving. Me and the hubby ordered the beef pho with flank and Bo luc lac. I dropped my phone in my pho before I got to take a picture (shame!) but it was delicious. I started eating asap and didn't get another photo attempt before it was gone. The broth was tasty and dirty! Only the best way to enjoy it. The iced coffee was very consistent with how I've been drinking it since I can remember. I've added it to my list of top Vietnamese restaurants in the area and will be returning again soon!

This restaurant is absolutely ridiculous. I used to come here occasionally, but after today, never again.Because it was cold outside, I ordered two cups of hot tea. To my surprise, they charged $1 per cup! Hot tea is a staple in Asian restaurants--since when did we start paying extra for something so basic?We had two bowls of noodles and two cups of tea, and the total came out to $50. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not coming back.

This is a great option for authentic, homey Vietnamese cuisine. I have been a frequent diner here for many years and the main reason why i return is the consistent quality food you can expect here time after time.Service is typical of most Vietnamese establishments... straight to the point and efficient. This last time I had their signature dish... bun cha Ha Noi ( Anthony Bourdain's favorite) and the cha ca Thanh Long. Bun Cha Ha Noi was delicious like always. The meats were tender, bursting with flavor and with the added char from the grilling; it was divine!. The broth that the meats marinates in is also out of this world! You have to get this dish when you come here.The Cha Ca Thanh Long comes out of a sizzling plate with filets of fish topped with dill. You eat it with vermicelli noodles and fresh greens. This was another hit for me. I am not usually a fan of dill but paired with the fish; it was delicious.

I wanted rice porridge and asked around and was pointed to this place. Service was quick. The shop was clean and there were people coming and going. I would say their porridge is very watery and they use a lot of msg in it. It was flavorful but a little on the strong side. I like mine kinda plain. But not bad for a quick bite. They also serve various kinds of noodles that isn't pho.

Hai Duong - A Family Pho Spot with Heart!Hai Duong has been my family's go-to for pho for over 20 years, and it's become a tradition we look forward to every weekend. There's something special about a place that knows you, and here, they don't just recognize our faces -- they understand our needs. My nephew is autistic, and the staff is always considerate, making our visits comfortable and welcoming every time.Our usual lineup? The Goi Cuon to start, and of course, a big bowl of Pho Tai Gau. The goi cuon comes out fresh, with shrimp, vermicelli, and herbs wrapped in soft rice paper, paired with a sauce that's just the right mix of savory and sweet. It's the perfect appetizer to get things going. Then comes the pho, and let me tell you, the Pho Tai Gau here is everything you want it to be -- hot, flavorful, with tender slices of beef and that perfect balance of herbs and spices. Each bowl feels like a warm, comforting hug, exactly what you need before a busy day.This spot has become part of our routine -- we fuel up at Hai Duong before heading off to the market and running errands. If you're looking for a pho spot that feels like home and takes care of its customers like family, Hai Duong is it. It's a place that's been there for us for decades, and every bowl is a reminder of why we keep coming back.

A little chaotic, food was okay. Noodle soup broth had good flavor. It's a full service place but you pay up at the counter

You can never go wrong with a trip to the historical Eden Center! Known for housing many Asian cultural stores and food marts, Pho Hai Duong is one of the many small but yummy businesses to find here.This was my very first time visiting this restaurant as it's somewhere my boyfriend who is Filipino, grew up going to here in the Arlington/Falls Church area. I ordered a small number 2 and we shared some crispy egg rolls. He ordered a vermicelli dish that had egg rolls in it as well that he thoroughly demolished lol. The service was fast and great. An easy 5/5!Parking does get crazy so definitely try to plan your visit.

Our recent visit to Hai Duong in Eden Center offered a mixed bag of experiences, with both highlights and disappointments to note.Firstly, the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, typical of the vibrant Eden Center atmosphere. We were seated promptly and began exploring the menu, settling on the Com Tam Bi Cha Thit Nuong (broken rice with shredded pork skin, grilled pork, and meatloaf) and the Com Ga Ro Ti (rotisserie chicken rice plate).The Com Tam Bi Cha Thit Nuong was decent, with each component individually satisfactory. However, the overall dish felt lacking in moisture, making it somewhat dry to eat. The grilled pork and meatloaf were flavorful but could have been more tender.Unfortunately, the Com Ga Ro Ti was a disappointment. The rotisserie chicken, supposed to be a highlight, tasted old and reheated, lacking freshness and succulence. The dryness was pronounced, detracting from the enjoyment of the meal significantly.We also tried the pennywort drink, which had an off sour taste and seemed overly diluted, failing to deliver the refreshing experience we expected.The service was adequate with some staff and the quality of the food did not live up to our expectations. The lack of freshness and moisture in some dishes, particularly the rotisserie chicken, was a significant drawback.In conclusion, while Hai Duong offers a convenient location for vietnamese food and decent service, however, the inconsistency in food quality, especially with dishes like the rotisserie chicken and the pennywort drink, leaves room for improvement. It's worth visiting for the atmosphere and exploring other menu options, but manage your expectations regarding the food quality.

Tasty pho with big portions, but I prefer Huong Viet a few doors down in comparison. Got tired of that place is i still recommend this place.Nice and clean atmosphere, easy to read and clean menus, plenty of seating. And I enjoyed the soft shell crab appetizer. No complaints on the service and you pay at the front at the end of your meal. Good spot, I'd go again to try other items.

My family and I regularly go to Hai Duong for its wonderful pho! They get the regular and I get the veggie. So many vegetables and the noodles are often perfectly chewy with delicious broth. We've also tried other dishes which have been equally delicious, but the pho is our favorite. The warm staff are always welcoming us with a smile and they know our orders - so kind, helpful, and very sweet. Often it's busy during regular meal times, but we always get our food quickly and piping hot. Love this place!
