East Wind

Parking was rough to find. But this was near the Hmart that I went to in Fairfax. This place was just amazing. There was ONE worker doing take out orders and serving 7 tables. He was just an absolute work horse. He even came to our table at one point and apologized because of the volume of guests coming in. You can’t beat their lunch combo and special. 13 dollars for a soda, an order (2) spring rolls or (2) fresh rolls and then an entree. I got the old town special beef pho. The broth was smooth and tasteful. Perfect amount of noodles and beef. The fresh rolls and spring rolls (not pictured) were crunchy and fresh. The service was wonderful. I left the restaurant happy, content and perfectly full. This place won’t disappoint you.

This has been my go to Vietnamese restaurant for over 5 years. I started going in college for the lunch special, and now I drive 17 miles there several times a month. The pho is the best around. The fried rice and all desserts are great. The staff is wonderful too! We love Eastwind. Can’t recommend it enough

Great food with good portion . Customer service here is the best of all Vietnamese restaurant that I have been to in the area. I have been to this spot for more than 7 years and never be disappointed by either food or service. I would recommend you to try their lunch special. My favorite here is Old Town pho, Hue soup, crispy shrimp and shaky beef. Yesterday, I came for dinner and got a delightlly suprised with their special soft- shell crabs. This dish is not in the menu but you can request it based on their availability. Highly recommend this restaurant

I recently visited this place with friends for dinner and turned out to be pretty decent. Thai iced tea was not as expected. We tried the basil shrimp appetizer, we liked it. I got the chicken lemongrass and I found it to be a little on the sweeter side. My friend got the curry chicken and it was a delicious dish. The staff is pretty friendly and the interiors are decent. They gave us flan on the house, it was really sweet of them. The tofu pho and lemongrass pho were okayish. Overall a decent place to dine in.

Very terrible. Pho was a little off and I kept smelling a rotten smell. We were seated towards the front. I felt a little grossed out while eating like something was off. Then there was a slimy felling in my mouth and there was this purple slimy thing that I put in the napkin. I immediately stopped eating and told my wife I was going to use the bathroom and then we were leaving. Walking toward the back I started to smell the rotten smell get stronger. I could see into the kitchen and it did not look like a clean kitchen. The bathroom was falling apart and grimy and when I came back out the smell just hits you in the face. Like rotten rags and meat and mildew. I told my wife to go to the bathroom and look at the kitchen and she was mad at me for taking us there. Never again.

Fan-frickin-tastic! Why have I not been here before the past week?! I'll tell you why, because I've been a loyalist to Bale Family Bakery and Pho Sate in Falls Church. I just always went with what I knew, and never looked back. What a disservice I did to myself. To have this gem, less that half a mile from the house is a game changer. Very easy and relatable menu, nothing too crazy, but a great variety and good for those looking to delve in Vietnamese cuisine, without going overboard. Pho is solid. Fantastic broth. Limited choice of selections, yet still ticks all the boxes. Great shaky beef.great spring and summer rolls. Dumplings are awesome, super filling and thin skinned. Shrimp toast is awesome. The grilled pork is worth the price of admission alone. Looking forward to workingt5througj more of the menu, especially the bun bo hue. The shrimp crackers and complimentary creme caramel/flan are a really nice touch. Service is good, not hovering, yet attentive. Reasonably priced. Do it if you haven't already. You won't regret it. Support you local!
