Known as the "Little Vietnam" of NoVA. This is a great place to get amazing authentic Vietnamese food, such as banh mi's, rice dishes, and snacks. Perfect for our Vietnamese relatives and friends who want to explore Vietnamese culture in Northern Virginia! Lynn's favorite thing to do there is get a banh mi and nuoc mia from Huong Binh Bakery, stop by Besfren Beauty for some skincare goodies, and pick up some freshly made tofu from Thanh Son Tofu.
If you are in the area, might as well! We recommend starting at the National Mall for the Capitol Building and Washington Monument. You could drive (30 minutes), with metered parking available around the area. But we highly recommend you instead drive to the Vienna Metro station and take the orange line into the mall to avoid worrying about parking! Close by is the Wharf waterfront, with many delicious restaurants to try. Lynn's favorite is ilili, a Lebanese restaurant with beautiful decor and amazing dishes.
