Phuong & Food in Arlington

i totally recommend this little gem inside Ben Thanh plaza. the pho, bun rieu, mi duoi no, and oxtail hotpot is really good here. the flavor of noodle soups are flavorful & broth is clear, good portion of meat.  service is a hit or miss because they are more attentive to big parties than individuals that are dining. i usually come here by myself after work and always have to get up several times to ask for eating utensils or napkins. they don't serve water unless you ask for it. this place favors cash because they charge $1.5 and a service fee on top of your total for using credit card.

1st time ordered food from this store but never wanted to go back. Check your receipt and your order item in the bag they handed before leaving the store although verbally they said they put everything in for you from what you ordered to essential part needed for your food like fish sauce which the guy said it is in the bag but it's not. On my receipt, it charged service for $2.25 n unsure what it's. If it's for credit card charges, the saler needs to inform customers when they asked what type of payments they have accepted. N if it's for service...

If you're looking for this place, it is inside the Ben Thanh Plaza, within the food court. We've had a few of the items on the menu, and honestly all of them were pretty solid. When they say pho is better home cooked, they're right most of the time. This is the one time, they're not. The pho here feels like a warm hug. The broth tastes clean and pure, delicate in its flavors. No MSG noted. The meat is so tender and the meatballs don't taste like the frozen ones on most pho out there. Don't forget to use the hoisin and sriracha to dip your meat in. The first time I actually went, I had Bon Bo Hue. I thought it was gonna be subpar...but with that first spoonful I knew I was dead wrong. It has the perfect balance of spice creating such a wonderful velvety broth. And just like the pho, the meat is tender and only takes a few chews to get it down. It also has the coagulated pork blood that I crave. It won't affect the flavor of your soup if you're not up for it. Let me tell you though, they are generous on the meat for sure. On both the pho and bbh. I'm excited to try the bo luc lac next time because they use quality meat. My little sister had the egg noodle, and it was also superb! They also sell bahn lot, and y'all. I can't. It's just too good to be true. The lady that cooks all these wonderful dishes is super sweet and very accommodating! I can't wait to come back. My husband already says we're gonna frequent this place and most likely become regulars since I don't cook Vietnamese cuisine. Y'all, this place is worth
