Lantern House Viet Bistro

Love coming here for lunch. Fresh food and cute ambiance. The service is great as well. Definitely top 3 in the DMV for Vietnamese food

I saw this place had high reviews and am always open to trying more pho places to see if any ever beat pho 75! The lanterns are pretty inside and I like the theme. Although the meal was not bad I do feel they made the dishes to cater to more western customers than traditional. Fresh squeezed lemonade - 4/5 actually very good. Love the sweet and sourFresh rolls - 2.5/5 packed a little too full of veggies and noodles, would've preferred it to be skinnier and more balanced. The fillings were fine but nothing special and the rice papee skin did taste a little old and tough. I liked the dipping saucePho - 3/5 on a cold day, hot soup is always good! It's on the sweeter side but not too sweet. I felt there was a lack of depth to the flavors though and definitely a lack of veggies on top

First time at Lantern House. All the food was high quality, if perhaps a little on the safe/bland side compared to some of our Eden Center favorites. Bánh xèo (just called "Crepe" on the menu here) is one of my tests of a good Vietnamese kitchen, and the version here came out quick, hot, and crisp, with a generous garnish of basil, cilantro, and mint (but not big enough lettuce). It was a bit light on the bean sprouts, the carrots were barely pickled, and the nước chấm (sauce on the side) was bland, but I would still order it again.Haven't tried the pho, or the banh mi, but I'll be back. Four stars for now...

My newer go-to-Pho restaurant near my apartment. I LOVE the Ginger Steak Pho. Kind of tastes medicinal; especially during the cold days. The food is fresh and quick to serve and there's always plenty of available booths to dine-in even if you're dining in solo. I eat here at least once every month. They're one of the best and most clean Pho restaurant to eat in at in Falls Church (NoVA). They even have beers and wine choices. And they have Karaoke nights!

My friend found this spot so we decided to try it on the weekend.- Fried Crispy Rolls -- crunchy with tasty filling- Tai / Eye Round Steak Pho -- my go-to for pho; I prefer the meat to be raw, but it was served fully cooked in the broth- Bun Bo Hue / Spicy Beef Noodle Soup -- nicer portion size compared to mineThe interior is quite cozy and nicely decorated with lanterns. Overall, the service was good.

Solid pho spot! I unfortunately did not have a photo of the initial pho, I got P2, the ginger beef. It was fresh, flavorful, and the sauces provided included homemade chili oil. The ambiance and decorations are adorable despite the smaller and older space inside. Even though the group I came with arrived 30 minutes before closing, the staff was patient and friendly.

I wish this place was in McLean. Every dish I've tried is superb. You just can't get it wrong, from the banh mi, the classic phos (I like the pho ga), and the vermicelli dishes which I normally order during the summer as the noodles are properly served at room temperature. The appetizers are also delightful. The one thing I would wish other than having it McLean is that they opened until a bit later.

Lantern House is a cute casual restaurant with a festive decor, a surprise find in a strip mall. If you are searching for Vietnamese-style crispy spring rolls, this is the place to go. Their other dishes are good too but the spring rolls really stand out. I give them 4 stars only because I haven't tried many dishes. I order mostly the spring rolls and other appetizers on the menu because I love them so much!

It was my first time being there. The food was great and the service was attentive. The lantern decorations were awesome.

Excellent food! Great service. The food is always very fresh. Our family loves their Pho & Spring Rolls.
