Roll Play Grill - Falls Church

I've been a fan of Roll Play in Tysons for years, so it was an easy decision to hit up the Falls Church location while I was in town. Their menu is a lot of fun - you can choose pre-made rice/noodle bowls, pho, banh mis, rolls OR make your own.I opted to make my own noodle bowl and my friend opted for a make your own roll. The flavors of the meat, fresh veggies, and sauce are light and satisfying. Their peanut sauce dipping sauce is particularly tasty.I really wanted to try their oxtail beef pho, but couldn't warrant the price. Still had a good visit and we were both happy with our meals.

Shared a banh mi sandwich with black pepper beef steak and sriracha mayo. The egg was whatever, but the french baguette was perfect with the meat and pickled veggies. The real star of the show was the vegetarian egg rolls! Fried to crispy perfection, the fresh carrots, taro, onion, and shallots with the nguoc nam sauce was amazing. I could put away a tray of these, it's so dangerously addicting. The set-up is simple as you order from a kiosk, but the employees are ready to answer any questions. The food is prepared fairly quickly. Many tables were available, with seating even available outside. It was hot when I came in, so I stayed where the AC was and enjoyed the delicious meal.

3.5 starsDefinitely more "modern" Vietnamese fare. The food is good but pricey. You get what you pay for right? Sometimes you can get a deal on an online ordering platform. I enjoyed their oxtail beef pho and their saté sauce is very good. My grip is the $18 sandwich. Again, you get a lot of lemongrass beef meat but it's like two or three meals in a sandwich. It's not like anything you would get in Vietnam but it is enjoyable.

I came back twice in a three day weekend trip. Love how they are open late. Place was in a good location not far from where we stayed. Food was fresh and delicious. The pho broth was really good too.

As a fan of the restaurant group's other concepts (Chasin Tails, Teas N You, and Lei'd), I've always wanted to love this place, but after multiple visits (at both locations) I can't seem to get fully on board as a regular. But hey, everyone's got a least favorite relative even though you still love them, right?I think my issue is that while I applaud the owner's emphasis on healthy eating using avocado oil and adding modern healthy twists to her mom's traditional recipes, perhaps the endless customization to the individual components and "fast casualization" comes at at the loss of a cohesive flavor unless the customer figures out his/her own sweet spot, which perhaps I've been unable to do since the original flavor is chiseled into my brain. The mass production of these flavors also means the timing of a perfectly runny sunny side egg can be off the mark, noodles are a bit bland, and the proteins may be overcooked after sitting in a larger bin waiting to be selected, which tends to work better for raw veggies or components that do not change character over time.So it's 3.5 stars for the food, but I'm going to give it a 0.5 star bump to 4 since I applaud its mission of healthy eating, adhering to its mission of modernizing Vietnamese food with an emphasis on healthy ingredients and providing fuel for active lifestyles, having excellent high quality packaging, and having a great work staff culture and being open late since the staff has always been high energy and seem to enjoy being there.

Quick service, great food, late hours, good portion sizes. Healing pho: good flavor broth with veggies. The broccolini had a good crunch to it and this was definitely filling. Spicy oxtail pho: some of the best tasting broth I've had! It wasn't really spicy but it was very filling and hit my craving for pho perfectly

Ordered from uber eats- it was all wrong. Extra noodles- none. No bean sprouts- added.Couldn't eat it!!

I'm glad I tried this place! I was walking by and decided to check out the menu. The location is pretty small inside, only a few tables, but there's seating outside in the downtown area. I came in and was the only customer inside, and all the employees were in the back cooking/preparing (maybe for mobile orders/pickups etc), so I wasn't greeted for a few minutes. There was no one working at the front desk, I had to order on a kiosk. This usually is fine, although this was my first time here, so it would have been nice to ask someone questions about the menu. I got the Saigon bowl with chicken which was great! I got sauce on the side, but ended up not even using it. The bowl itself was very flavorful. I don't love runny eggs, but there was no option to change what style egg you got. Also, when I opened my bowl within a few mins of receiving it, the egg was cold (everything else was warm) so maybe the eggs aren't made-to-order anyway. Overall it was yummy and I'd consider coming again! I saw there was some great buy one get one deals on Uber Eats, too.

Great portions for the price! I ended creating my own custom bowl for about $12.50, which contains beansprouts, carrots/radish, cilantro, jalapeño, mint, and a few other veggies paired with lemongrass chicken on a bed of rice noodles! The Vietnamese vinaigrette is a sweet fish sauce based sauce that pairs really well with the dish.Utterly delicious. Because it wasn't busy either and I was only there for a short period of time, I was able to park right in front of the restaurant for lunch. Large portions for the price. I was able to finish the bowl.There's also 3 hours free parking if you use their code at the restaurant.

It's the perfect option when you're craving those Vietnamese flavors. I'm a big fan of acidic/salt balanced foods.Ordered the Saigon bowl with lemongrass chicken and it's a huge portion size. I could probably divide into 3 meal portions. No extra proteins or additions included. It's a bit pricier than other places I've been to but nonetheless food is tasty, hot and fresh. Placed the order via Uber eats and it arrived in about 30 minutes.Would highly recommend their pho options as well. The ox tail soup is one of my favorites.
