Little Viet Garden, web site, 6783 Wilson Blvd., Falls Church, VA, 703-532-1069 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [WaPo | TripAdvisor | Arl Mag | Ylp]
An offshoot of the quite good, Viet Garden, this place feels a little fresher. The baby clams, the vermicelli, the broken rice, and the caramel fish are all well above average. I don’t think you’ll find any startling revelations here, but if you are looking for a good all-purpose, go-to Vietnamese restaurant, and with reasonable crowds, this is surely one of the main contenders.
Used to love this place when it was in Clarendon. Love it almost as much now, but they need to bring back bananas flambe with ginger ice cream!
