Phở Công Lý - Noodle and Grill sits quietly within the Bradlick Shopping Center in Annandale, offering a focused Vietnamese dining experience that leans heavily on authentic flavors and comforting classics. This restaurant draws in locals craving genuine pho alongside less common northern Vietnamese specialties, like the well-regarded Cha Ca La Vong—a turmeric and dill-marinated fried fish that arrives to the table still sizzling, accompanied by fresh herbs and a hearty serving of vermicelli noodles.

The dining room itself is unpretentious and welcoming, the kind of spot where attentive, friendly staff make an effort to explain dishes to those less familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. Given the mix of traditional and family favorites on the menu—ranging from spring rolls and chicken wings to shaking beef and beef stew—Phở Công Lý fits well for a casual lunch break or an early evening meal. Its atmosphere suits both small groups wanting to share a variety of dishes and solo diners seeking a comforting bowl of pho, which locals attest is served with a richly layered, balanced broth that doesn’t demand added sauces to shine.

Vegetarian options like the vegetarian pho also demonstrate some thoughtful inclusivity, while the sweet finish with a light tofu pudding offers a quieter, genuine end to the meal. Drinks such as classic Vietnamese coffee or Thai iced tea round out the experience in a way that feels grounded rather than overdone.

Visitors will likely find that midweek or weekend evenings are when the place buzzes with families and regulars, creating a lively but not noisy environment. This is the kind of neighborhood spot that thrives on a community feel, where the owners’ warmth comes through and the food provides a reassuring familiarity without stepping outside traditional bounds.

The pho here is absolutely incredible—the broth alone blew me away. It’s so rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced that you don’t even need to add hoisin or sriracha. That’s how you know it’s the real deal. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience feel even better. To top it off, the tofu pudding for dessert was a pleasant surprise. I’m usually not a fan of tofu, but this dish completely changed my mind—it was smooth, subtly sweet, and genuinely delicious. Pair all of that with the cozy atmosphere, great music, and inviting vibe, and you’ve got a spot that feels like a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

I had a great experience at Pho Cong Ly recently, especially with their Cha Ca La Vong. The fish was tender and flavorful, marinated just right with turmeric and dill, and served sizzling hot. It had that authentic Hanoi taste I was hoping for—fragrant, savory, and a little tangy with the dipping sauce. The herbs were fresh, and the vermicelli portion was generous. I do wish the service was a bit faster, but the staff was friendly and helpful when needed. The ambiance is casual but cozy, perfect for a laid-back meal. If you’re looking for a solid Cha Ca La Vong outside of Vietnam, this place definitely delivers.

I have eaten there three times within one month. My favorite is Bun Bo Hue. I also had Bun Thai with grilled beef sub and rolls. Family owned & very friendly staff/service. Highly recommended

My party and I enjoyed the warm, friendly, and welcoming dining experience. The service was prompt. And, the waitress pleasantly helped me understand unfamiliar items. I decided upon an old time favorite and ordered the Chicken Fried Rice which was perfectly seasoned and just the right temperature. The Tofu Pudding dessert was light and flavorful. Definitely a Pho spot that I will frequent often when craving Vietnamese cuisine. I highly recommend this casual dining spot for a quick, delicious meal.

First I’d like to say the place is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. It seems a lot of people are not comprehending that part and not being understanding. The new owners treat all their customers as family, I really love how friendly they are and I wish them the best in their future endeavors. The pho has an authentic taste very good flavor I give it a 10/10 their Thai tea is sooo delicious I wish I can give them more than 5 starts!. We look forward in trying their sandwiches I’ve heard it’s really good overall I highly recommend this place if you want an amazing experience and enjoy their food it’s so good and flavorful! My daughter and I love going for our mother daughter dates. <3
