Best WLM Reviews

This is exactly what I needed today. A big bowl of pho, which was served in such a generous portion that I had a second meal later. The service was excellent, I was greeted with a welcoming smile and the waitress was extremely attentive and polite. The place itself is clean and offers a nice calm vibe. The food was fresh and delicious.
I love this place. The food is so clean and fresh. I always get the veggie Singapore noodles and it’s so good. Everything is amazing. I love the atmosphere and the friendly ladies and staff are so friendly and welcoming.
It was a hot day and I was craving bún (but... i could always eat bún haha). My company said he'd like pho despite the hot day so we found this spot on Google Maps. SO GLAD we decided to stop by cause the food was perfect. Light, fresh, and just the right amount of flavorful. We both loved our food but my company kept stealing bits from mine and I stole from his bowl as well since it is so good!
The restaurant is casual and clean. It had a lot of light coming in through the front windows which was nice. There was one staff member taking orders and serving tables, but there were only a few others in use so we did not wait long.
You can tell this place, though not busy on a Sunday afternoon, is popular amongst its regulars. The staff warmly greeted some aunties and also a cute younger duo that must frequently eat here. It was really sweet to see!
Can't wait to go back next time I visit the area. I am used to city life where there are tons of food options, so this area feels sparse and I savor gems like this with great food <3
I visited An Loi, this past monday, which was my 1st visit here, and then I was back by today (Thursday). This is a testament to how satisfied I was with my visit. This is now my new favorite restaurant for pho and then some. I had their HỦ TIỀU BÒ KHO, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. I love soup, and this one is hardy and really perfect for me, and if you also like a flavor forward meal, then this one may be for you as well.
The service was great, everyone was kind, and welcoming. The atmosphere on the inside feels, warm, cozy and quaint in the best ways. I am defiantly going to bring some family and friends here. And I only found this place because my other favorite pho spot was closed. But at the moment, I may be choosing this place first more often. I am just so happy I got the chance to experience a new cuisine/dish and it blow my mind. If it wasn’t clear, this place is a 10/10 in my opinion.
Overall I enjoyed the food. The service was not that great. The egg roll was very dry and extra extra crispy and we made the waitress aware. She never attempted to remedy this and charged us for it. The waitress never asked if we wanted a refill and then demanded a tip.
We travel to Maryland and looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant. We decided to try this restaurant since my cousin said this is her favorite Vietnamese cuisine! I wanted to say Wow, this is so good!! Not just the food tastes good, but the atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant are unbeatable. Also, we feel extremely welcoming the entire time!
PS: We ordered regular Pho noodles. The beef tastes so fresh and the soup is really good.
Also ordered Quails lol. I LOVE it so much. The skin and bone are crispy, but the meet is kinda juicy.
Lastly, Thai tea is a must get!!
????????‍♀️ TL;DR: The food is just ok. Seems like it might be a decent eat at the restaurant, but the flavors leave much to be desired.
???? Backstory: Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines on Earth. I've eaten a lot of dishes over the years, in Philly, where my high school friends first introduced me to pho, to New York City, Reading, PA, and now Maryland. I've been blessed to dine in the homes of people who immigrated from Saigon to the US in the 80s, and I will cherish those memories forever. Those flavors are imprinted in my mind. That said, I am serious about Vietnamese food and am very familiar with a lot of dishes that rarely see a restaurant menu. Pho and Bun Bo Hue are among my favorites.
???????? Delivery: Tonight my usual pho place wasn't available for delivery, so I gave An Loi a try. I ordered the An Loi Pho with all the fixings (tripe included), and a side of the Spring rolls on DoorDash. An Loi confirmed my order immediately, and my order arrived without incident. Everything was well packaged and lovingly labeled for each diner (my partner and I). Sadly, I didn't really care for any of my dishes.
???????? Pho: The noodles were packaged at the bottom of one of those paper Chinese food containers with the meats piled on top, and were overcooked well before I added them to my broth. The broth was more salty than it was beefy, and did not taste like traditional broth, which takes hours of boiling beef bones with distinct aromatics. The bean sprouts and basil provided were crisp and fresh. I added my own Sriracha since the tiny sauce container was mostly hoisin sauce.
???????? Spring Rolls: As for the spring rolls, they were pretty good. They weren't super crispy, but that's a tall order for delivery. The fish sauce dip tasted pretty good, and like what I would expect.
???????? The meal wasn't inedible, but it didn't scratch that itch for me. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to get my meal to me.
I had shrimp summer rolls (no pork) that were delicious. I just wish there was a bit more noodle inside
