Pho Nam at 606 King Street

A new Vietnamese restaurant is coming to King Street in Old Town.

Sandy Truong recently applied with the city to change the name of the business and ownership of 606 King Street. The space has been home to Pho Nam since 2020.

The building was previously home to Breugger’s Bagels, which closed in 2018 after 12 years in business.

Truong also owns Nha Trang restaurant in Seven Corners in Falls Church.

“The menu is going to change a little bit,” Truong told ALXnow. “Come and support our new business.”

The last day for public comments on Truong’s special use permit application is Jan. 29.
