Rice Paper - Taste of Vietnam · Falls Church
A perennial Eden Center favorite known for tabletop DIY rice-paper rolls, where diners dunk dry disks in warm water and fill them with skewered meats and seafood. Also on offer: charred grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, a pork-and-shrimp crepe, roast quail, and pho. Expect a wait most nights plus steady takeout.
Huong Viet Restaurant · Falls Church
One of the oldest kitchens at Eden Center, running a short-order operation with mess-hall energy and a menu deep enough to reward repeat visits. Standouts include lacquered quail, the bun noodle salad, crispy banh xeo pancakes, and a five-spice duck noodle soup meant to be eaten in two stages. Cash only.
Truong Tien Restaurant · Falls Church
Tucked deep in the Eden Center mall, this spot specializes in rice-cake and tapioca-dumpling appetizers served open-faced, banana-leaf-wrapped, or crusted with shell-on shrimp. Its most-ordered dish is a spicy lemongrass noodle soup loaded with rustic meatballs in a rich beef broth. Menu descriptions are sparse and English is limited, but the food carries it.
