present

wonderful experience! present was near our hotel and had good ratings, so we stopped in for an early sunday lunch. the service was lightning fast, thestaffvery attentive and accommodating, and the food. . . the food was amazing! try cow in an open field - succulent bits of flame-broiled tenderloin that melt in your mouth with an incredible burst of flavor. we love everything about this gem of a restaurant !

my wife and i ate at present with two other couples last night. it was an excellent meal: rockfish, duck, beef, shrimp. the sauces were tangy and spicy. all of it was well-prepared and attractively served. thestaffwere very friendly and it didn't take long for us to order or for our food to be served. they have a very relaxing, artistic ambience. i would recommend present to anyone.

much more than one would expect. hard to believe this restaurant is labeled inexpensive. the interior is gorgeous with a huge fountain, fine wood furnishing and beautifully presented dishes. you really get more than you pay for. our group of six enjoyed dishes off the large selection on the lunch menu that were more than substantial. thestaffwas very cordial as well as the manager. it is a real step above the restaurants in edens center. family run establishment. i will bring the family back here!!!

beautiful interior, presentation & lovely staff....yummy food!!!staffmakes great suggestions, very happy with our meal! highly recommend! no pho but that's ok. ; )

wow!. from the outside it's a little questionably, but once inside the experience changes completely. thestaffare extremely friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable and reminded me a little of being in asia (a little). i don't know vietnamese food well so i had the waiter make a few suggestions. i appreciated that he didn't immediately go for all the most expensive items. he brought me the imperial autumn rolls, which i downed in seconds. they come with what i thought was just garnish, but when the waiter saw i was almost done suggested wrapping them in the lettuce and mint leaves and dipping them in the sauce. holy @$%# were those good! for the main course he directed me to something called "cow in the open field." i could have eaten three more plates.

i'm not sure how the place stacks up against other vietnamese restaurants, but this was the best food in general that i've had in some time. every time i visit falls church i'm going here again.
