Reviews
Food was underwhelming. Bánh Bèo Chén (steam rice dumpling with shrimp) was too thick and did not have enough shrimp topping—served with a TINY portion of fish sauce, we had to ask for more. Bánh Bột Lộc (tapioca dumpling) was a bit too chewy. Bún Bò Huế Chả (Hue-style noodle soup) and Bánh Khoái Nước Lèo (mini pancakes with shrimp & meat) were both decently tasty dishes with good portions. Dipping sauce for Bánh Khoái was a peanut type sauce that did NOT taste good—we asked for fish sauce instead. Hến Xúc Bánh Tráng (baby clams with rice paper) was very bland, lacked flavored. Wanted to try the Bánh Nậm but they had already ran out. At the end of the meal, they do give complimentary chè (Vietnamese dessert) to everyone—ours was a sticky rice red bean dessert.
Overall, we felt cramped sitting in this restaurant and were disappointed in the food—there’s plenty of better restaurants in Eden, in my opinion.

Truong Tien at Eden Center has been my ultimate Vietnamese comfort spot since it opened its doors in late 2023—I’ve been making the trek from the DMV area ever since, and each visit feels like a mini escape to Hue without leaving Virginia. Tucked right inside the bustling main building under the clock tower (6763 Wilson Blvd), this gem channels royal Hue cuisine with elegant vibes, fresh ingredients, and that authentic spice that keeps me coming back. On my latest October outing, I loaded up on all the classics: starting with some killer appetizers, diving into hearty mains like **cơm hến**, **bún bò Huế**, and **cơm gà xé**, then capping it off with heavenly desserts. The whole spread was a flavor explosion—bold, balanced, and beautifully presented!
We kicked things off with a trio of appetizers that set the tone: crispy **nem cuốn** (fresh spring rolls) bursting with shrimp, herbs, and that tangy peanut dipping sauce—light yet addictive, perfect for sharing. Then the **gỏi cuốn** with grilled pork and **chả giò** (fried imperial rolls) arrived hot and golden, crunchy on the outside with juicy fillings that screamed street-food nostalgia. These starters were fresh, not greasy, and just $4-6 each, whetting the appetite without filling us up too soon.
For the mains, oh man—**cơm hến** was a revelation! This Hue specialty bowl of steamed rice topped with tiny freshwater clams, fresh herbs, roasted peanuts, crispy shallots, and a side of pungent **mắm nêm** (fermented anchovy sauce) had that perfect umami punch—salty, briny, and textured like a seaside dream. We mixed it tableside for max flavor, and it was hearty enough for a full meal at around $14. Next up, **bún bò Huế**: steaming vermicelli in a fiery lemongrass-chili broth loaded with tender beef shank, pork knuckle, and those chewy **chả Huế** sausage slices—spicy, aromatic, and soul-warming on a crisp fall day. My tablemate raved about the heat level (they nailed the “medium” request), and at $13.95, it’s a steal for the portion. Finally, **cơm gà xé** stole the show: fluffy jasmine rice piled with hand-shredded poached chicken, fragrant ginger-scallion oil, cucumber slices, and a drizzle of nuoc cham—simple, juicy, and incredibly comforting, like home-cooked perfection for $12. Everything arrived piping hot, with sides of lime and herbs to tweak to taste, and the staff (super attentive and bilingual) even suggested pairing with their house iced tea—herbal, slightly sweet, and refreshing.
But the real magic? Saving room for desserts! We split a silky **chè Huế**—a warm coconut milk pudding layered with mung beans, lotus seeds, and pandan jelly—that was creamy, not overly sweet, and the perfect cool-down after all that spice. Then came the **bánh flan** (Vietnamese crème caramel), velvety smooth with a caramel kiss, and a scoop of house-made **chè ba màu** for that tropical fruit medley vibe. These $4-5 treats were the cherry on top, light enough to end on a high note without regret.
The atmosphere at Truong Tien is cozy yet lively—think modern Hue elegance with banana leaf accents and a buzz from fellow foodies—plus quick service even on weekends. Prices are fair for the quality (mains $12-15), and it’s family-friendly or great for dates. If you’re wandering Eden Center’s vibrant scene, skip the lines elsewhere and head straight here for an unforgettable Vietnamese feast. Two years in, and it’s only getting better—highly recommend for spice lovers, nostalgia seekers, or anyone craving royal-level eats!
Cam on! ❤️
We lined up.
Inside, it was dark. Not moody. Not romantic. Just dark. Each table had a tiny battery-powered lantern. Since it was Valentine’s Day, we honestly thought they were going for intimate noodle-date vibes. Very dramatic. Very mysterious.
Plot twist. It was a power outage.
The restaurant seemed to be run by a husband-and-wife team, I think. Or at least two people who have truly mastered married energy. Either way, they were the entire staff.
The wife, I’m assuming, came over quickly and asked what we wanted. We asked for a menu. She handed it to us and walked away. We studied it seriously. When she came back, we confidently started ordering different dishes.
She stopped us.
They only had Bun Bo Hue.
That was it. No rice dishes. No rice rolls. No alternatives. Just Bun Bo Hue because of the power outage.
So the lanterns were not for romance. They were for survival.
Now here is the part that makes it better. My husband does not like Bun Bo Hue. But at that point we had waited in line, sat down, and adjusted our eyes to cave lighting. We were committed. So we ordered two bowls.
And to be fair, the Bun Bo Hue was good. Rich broth, solid flavor, no complaints about the food.
Meanwhile, the line outside kept growing.
New customers would sit down, open the menu excitedly, point at dishes, whisper to each other. You could see the decision-making happening. Then one by one they were told it was Bun Bo Hue only.
The pause.
The blink.
The internal negotiation.
Around the room you could almost hear it.
Babe, Bun Bo Hue sounds great.
Yes dear, I love Bun Bo Hue.
I’ve always loved Bun Bo Hue.
Suddenly the entire restaurant turned into a synchronized noodle-slurping society.
And here’s the funny part. There was no sign outside. No heads-up while people waited in line. No “Today we only have Bun Bo Hue.” The big reveal happened right when you were emotionally ready to order something else.
It felt like a culinary jump scare.
By the end, every single table had the exact same bowl. It looked like a Bun Bo Hue flash mob. If you didn’t order it, I’m not sure what your options were. Maybe you just sit there with a lantern and reflect on your choices.
The customers were all surprisingly nice about it. No dramatic walkouts. Just a room full of people quietly accepting their noodle fate. Maybe everyone was too hungry to argue. Maybe some partners were just trying to impress their significant others.
First visit impressions. The food was solid. The communication was mysterious. The lighting was unforgettable.
Would I go back. Yes. But only if I am fully prepared for Bun Bo Hue.
But please also read those other reviews as well, they said something about how the restaurant finally charge in your bill

Update:
We returned to the restaurant for lunch today because we’d been craving its offerings, and it was the right decision. The owner greeted us as we entered, and the restaurant maintains excellent dishes. We ordered the Hue Appetizer Combo, which included a combination of homemade meat sausages and fish cakes. The Hue beef noodle soup was spicy and savory, and the Com Hen (Hue rice with baby clams) was healthy and tasty with lots of lettuce. The owner offered us a free coconut milk sago for dessert, which was a refreshing end to the meal. When we left, the restaurant was fully packed. We will come back again soon.
We ordered a lot of food but the bill is so little compared to other places.
