An Loi - River Hill

It was a hot day and I was craving bún (but... i could always eat bún haha). My company said he'd like pho despite the hot day so we found this spot on Google Maps. SO GLAD we decided to stop by cause the food was perfect. Light, fresh, and just the right amount of flavorful. We both loved our food but my company kept stealing bits from mine and I stole from his bowl as well since it is so good! The restaurant is casual and clean. It had a lot of light coming in through the front windows which was nice. There was one staff member taking orders and serving tables, but there were only a few others in use so we did not wait long. You can tell this place, though not busy on a Sunday afternoon, is popular amongst its regulars. The staff warmly greeted some aunties and also a cute younger duo that must frequently eat here. It was really sweet to see! Can't wait to go back next time I visit the area. I am used to city life where there are tons of food options, so this area feels sparse and I savor gems like this with great food <3

Best food in Columbia. Fresh, amazing, and so much of it for what you pay. Definitely recommend a try!

Curry chicken with noodles is the best! When I moved back to the area from Houston this is the first place I came. You should come here too.

I visited An Loi, this past monday, which was my 1st visit here, and then I was back by today (Thursday). This is a testament to how satisfied I was with my visit. This is now my new favorite restaurant for pho and then some. I had their HỦ TIỀU BÒ KHO, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. I love soup, and this one is hardy and really perfect for me, and if you also like a flavor forward meal, then this one may be for you as well. The service was great, everyone was kind, and welcoming. The atmosphere on the inside feels, warm, cozy and quaint in the best ways. I am defiantly going to bring some family and friends here. And I only found this place because my other favorite pho spot was closed. But at the moment, I may be choosing this place first more often. I am just so happy I got the chance to experience a new cuisine/dish and it blow my mind. If it wasn’t clear, this place is a 10/10 in my opinion. Parking: There are a number of spots, but not a surplus. But due to the nature of the strip it’s not likely that that lot would be overly crowded.

The spring rolls did not look like the image on the menu and were over-fried. They tasted only like oil, so I couldn't enjoy then at all. Pho was fine, but fine is really the best they had. The broth was the issue, as it didn't have quite thenright flavor. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back to this place.
