Rt

"Sleeping Duck on the Golden Pond" and other "poetic names" "lyrically" describe the "creative" dishes at this "surprising" Vietnamese "oasis" that brings "upscale" dining at a "reasonable cost" to an "unlikely" location in a Falls Church strip mall; step inside and walk past the "fountain" to an "elegant" dining room where "attentive" waiters are always happy to "explain" the menu.

Present Restaurant Review

This small eatery offers a sophisticated menu, which blends a Western attitude with authentic Vietnamese flavors. Appetizers include the Green Paradise spring roll (goi cuon) and Silken Shawl Imperial roll (wrapped in rice noodles). The splendid names belie the fact that these are popular, everyday eats, here taken to the next level. Try the rice crêpe, dubbed “rich folks golden crêpe,” and the...

Much more than one would expect. Hard to believe this restaurant is labeled inexpensive. The interior is gorgeous with a huge fountain, fine wood furnishing and beautifully presented dishes.

It is a...

I might have liked Present more if I hadn't just returned from Vietnam. The green papaya salad was unique and tasty with dried beef and liver. My seafood vermicelli was very good. Service was ok - the waiter tended to forget things.

A group of us went to this restaurant for a celebration lunch and it was amazing. The menu is excellent, the staff very attentive and the chef willing to work with those who have dietary issues.

We regularly eat Asian food and have tried many restaurants but I cannot recommend 'Present' enough. Delicious food very reasonably priced, very friendly, fantastic, attentive staff and a beautifully decorated restaurant. During our stay in Washington we were so impressed we ate there 3 nights in a row (I have never eaten at the same restaurant 2 nights in a...

Present's menu includes a variety of Vietnamese cuisine that includes rice vermicelli and crepes, noodle soups and vegan entrees. The country road entree is a half duck roasted and then marinated with the chef's special orange sauce. It is open daily for lunch and dinner.
