The Eden Center in Falls Church, VA is a good place to take the kids to an exotic destination without leaving the country. The large and always busy plaza is packed with more than a dozen Vietnamese restaurants and bakeries and is a fun place to explore before choosing a place to eat.
We're taking Alexander to Vietnam in December, so this was a bit of a preview for us. We went to Huong Viet , an old standby, and were greeting by a 20-something Vietnamese man who told Alexander he loved him-- "I love you baby....I love you". Yes, they like babies here.
Food was good as always. It lacks the precision you might get a Present or Four Sisters, but it was quick and tasty. Above is the grilled chicken with soft rice crepes complete with herbs and lettuce to wrap the meat and rice in and dunk in the sauce-- fun finger food.
Shrimp on a sugar cane skewer bun (rice noodles and veggies).
Oh, and don't miss the iced coffee and bubble tea for dessert...
Family-friendly? Yes, they welcome families and there are many there. No changing table, but there are high chairs and lots of simple things for children to eat.
