Tysons is renowned for its malls, traffic, and abundance of dining options, predominantly chain restaurants, especially for casual dining. Therefore, discovering a standout non-chain eatery in this bustling area is a pleasant surprise. Roll Play, self-described as “Viet Street Food” on its website, fits the bill perfectly. Nestled off Leesburg Pike across from Tyson’s Bagel Market, while parking appears limited with few spaces out front, additional parking is available on the adjacent street. The seating area, comprising a handful of outdoor tables and just a couple indoors, caters more to the fast-casual, to-go crowd rather than accommodating large groups. Ordering via the kiosk is a breeze, a feature that often raises concerns about limited assistance or customization options. However, Roll Play pleasantly surprises in this regard; ordering is intuitive, and customizations are readily accommodated. The menu is straightforward, minimizing wait times. For aficionados of Vietnamese cuisine, Roll Play is a must-try, potentially even converting skeptics. With a plethora of options—from sandwiches and bowls to Pho, fried rice, assorted protein choices, and an array of sauces—the culinary possibilities are endless. And if you find yourself outside Tysons, fear not; Roll Play boasts two additional locations, one in Falls Church and another in Rosslyn. For those seeking a more refined dining experience, Elegantly Vietnamese in Falls Church, founded by Roll Play’s own Tuyet Nhi Le, offers a compelling alternative
