Opened last year, this is the second location of Henry Nguyen’s Pho Saigon. The Woodbridge restaurant opened 14 years ago. Pictured: Carrrots, radishes, cucumbers, lettuce, bean sprouts, scallions and crushed peanuts decorate a shrimp and pork noodle bowl. / Photo by Rey Lopez
Yes, order the pho here. It’s surprisingly citrusy and filled with all the fatty, soft and silky meats. But don’t neglect the noodle bowls: bouncy shrimp and sweet-charred pork and vermicelli noodles ready for tossing into what is probably the best thing going for Pho Saigon: the housemade lemongrass chili paste that is savory and then lines your mouth with fire. • 8130 Sudley Road, Manassas; 703-365-7700
