Reviews for T-ZO Vietnamese Cuisine in Alexandria, VA
This restaurant brought me home. I have been trying to find a restaurant where I can eat Northern Vietnamese style in many big... cities like Boston, NYC, Orlando for a long time but no where I could have it. The pho in T-zo is 90-95% like Hanoi and I reallyappreciate the owner's effort ???? If you come here, highly rec stir-fried beef pho, hanoi style bun cha and egg hot chocolate Read more
You put another big soy sauce for vermicelli (salad noodle). I also felt uncomfortable when you said, "I will just give it to... you." over non toxic containers, which I paid at least twice for hot food you didn't charge this time, which is supposed to likethat for all customer. Do not call or comment if you don't not appreciate honest feedback. (Update) you just respond my reviewand made yourself the worst and again read what I said and you said. Now your less than mediocre food below 2 stars. Readyourself and try to understand what I said in comment. Since you don't understand what it meant or you tried not to understandso I copy and paste your comment again here. (I also felt uncomfortable when you said, "I will just give it to you." over nontoxic containers, which I paid at least twice for hot food you didn't charge this time, which is supposed to like that for allcustomer.) Your food is so bland anyway I won't spend another 30 dollarswith your promotion of 2.70 dollars which it could go upto 30 dollars for small portion of burnt fried rice, bot so much noodle with frozen taste like spring roll pieces and the worstof all, 2 of your wrap that crunch thing made us so sick cost over 7 dollars. Be careful for all of the consumers. You usednontoxic containers for us that you didn't charge which was supposed be like that anyway and you said it to me, "I will justgive it to you (containers are supposed to be free.)". Anyway good luck to you. I hope you learn while you try so hard to makesense to yourself. Read more
The owner cares deeply about his business, which is always an excellent start. He walked us through the various menu items... before we ordered at the self service tablet. He's very into it, which is amazing. This is likely different Vietnamese foodthan you've had before, i.e. a different region, less represented in the DC area. We loved a few items, but would pass on a fewothers. The beverages were excellent! The Pho beef was amazing, again, different than most Pho I've had before. The egg basedrolls were also a definite 'get again'. The wings and egg rolls were on the normal range. I would definitely come back for theaforementioned recommend above. Read more
Top notch service! Been coming here for a while now and this place never disappoints. Food quality is delicious and on point. ... Love their beef pho, fried rice and spring rolls, but their honey siracha wings are fire. But I think what really makes thisplace shine is the staff. Super friendly and very informative, esp. on the sauces that match well with certain dishes - yes, IHIGHLY recommend this place! Read more
A bit pricey but the food was enjoyable. The owner explained the Northern Style Pho to us and the popular dishes. I had the... Hanoi Style Stir Fried Beef Pho and a bunch of various rolls (avocado summer roll, shrimp/pork summer rolls, crispy springrolls, another roll with yellow crispy stuff inside). A platter of bean sprouts, basil, Jalapeño slices did not accompany thesoup (might be a Southern Style thing). However, there was a good amount of onions, scallion (green onion), and cilantro whichmade the broth tastier. The noodles are slightly wider and lighter... which I definitely enjoyed. It didn't seem all clumpedtogether under the meat...rather it was evenly sitting underneath. My sis had requested Hoisin sauce which other Pho placesusually have. This one does not, which I don't mind because I don't care for the sauce. They also have a pickled sliced garliccondiment which I enjoy. Caphe Banh Mi is the only other pho place I know of that provides this as well. Also checked outtheir Vietnamese coffee. One hot one with condensed milk, and another hot one with a whipped egg. Made it nice and frothy. Thefrothy egg coffee drink was at a 75% sweetness level (you can adjust the amount of condensed milk you'd like). It was definitelydesserty. Overall, I intend on coming back for their other non soup dishes and other appetizers/sides. Good experience. Read more
Went on a whim and was highly pleased. I didn't get his name but he's always there lol, took the time to explain the difference... between traditional and northern, they even label the sauces to coincidence with your order. I'm definitely a fan and will becoming back for more since I have already been a couple times. By the way, their Fruit Tea is a MUST addition to your order.Extremely tasty and refreshing, and the Watermelon ???? tea is just as good. Stop reading and place your order! Read more
Ordered T-ZO for the first time tonight. Both pho were delivered hot and delicious. The Vietnamese crepe roll was incredible.
If you want authentic northern Vietnamese cuisine, T-zo is the perfect place for you! I had searched far and wide in the... Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region for proper Hanoi Pho and no restaurant has ever gotten it right. The pho here tastes just likehome, light and refreshing and most importantly it comes with Gi?m Ph?. They also offer other amazing, mouthwatering dishes likePork Skewers (Thit Xien), Bun Cha and Egg Coffee. I pretty much only get my fix of Pho from here now on and nowhere else. Pleasesupport this business and you won?t regret it!! Read more
