The best new spots at Falls Church's Eden Center: TamTam, Pop-Up District, Bánh Mì Oi

Eden Center on Wilson Boulevard in Falls Church has been the region's Vietnamese shopping center for decades, and many of its restaurants still serve the same traditional dishes they opened with. Three newer places add something different.

## TamTam Brunch & Dinner, 6767 Wilson Blvd.
Owners Thao Tran and Tin Truong built TamTam as a sit-down spot for coffee and date nights. Next to garden rolls and chicken pho, the menu has salmon crudo with pickled green mango, abalone soup and a green-chili chicken hot pot. The best way to finish is the icy flan. Their adjoining market, Viet Gourmet, sells imported Vietnamese ingredients and house-made ones, including dried dragonfruit blooms and lemongrass shrimp paste.

## Pop-Up District, 6763 Wilson Blvd.
This Asian food hall has metal communal tables, large screens and neon lights. Honey Pig runs a fast-casual stall selling cupbop, grilled meat in a cup over rice, noodles or salad. Eatsy makes Thai street food such as crispy coconut-rice salad and khao soi, and Sun-C serves Vietnamese noodle bowls and steamed tapioca dumplings. Other stalls sell Vietnamese coffee, matcha, egg tarts and croissants, and a central bar serves cocktails and soju with izakaya snacks. DJs and live events run on weekends.

## Bánh Mì Oi, 6795 Wilson Blvd.
This bánh mì cafe started in Boston and opened in Falls Church in 2025. It bakes its own baguettes. The classic sandwich layers Vietnamese pork bologna, ham, steamed pork belly and pâté with house aïoli, pickled vegetables, jalapeño and cilantro. Our pick for the most exciting order is the Nashville hot chicken bánh mì, double-fried and coated in a spicy wet rub, with a sesame Vietnamese coffee or a mango-dragonfruit refresher on the side.
