Eden Center is a Vietnamese-American shopping center located in Seven Corners, Virginia (near Bailey's Crossroads in the city of Falls Church, Virginia). The center is home to over 100 shops, restaurants and businesses catering to the extensive Asian American, especially the Vietnamese-American, population. Eden Center has created something of an anchor for Vietnamese culture serving the Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Pennsylvania areas, as evidenced by the large number of phở soup restaurants as well as Vietnamese-American cultural events that are regularly held at the Center.

An unusually high percentage of the businesses in the mall are restaurants, specifically Vietnamese restaurants, specializing in various levels of formality and in various aspects of Vietnamese cuisine. These range from carry-out-only places that serve stir-fry dishes and spring rolls to high-volume phở soup restaurants to sit down restaurants with large varied menus and a formal decor.

Eden Center emerged in 1984 as the Vietnamese-American community in Northern Virginia (and the Washington, DC, metropolitan area) grew following the Vietnam War. The site, located on Wilson Boulevard in Falls Church, Virginia, was formerly known as the Plaza Seven Shopping Center.
