"Oh geez, I started this review half a year ago, and just got sidetracked. #behindinyelpingI have fond memories of this (my first) visit, as it was to celebrate a good friend's birthday. We looked past the extremely slow service, as we were enjoying our dinner conversation and each had a martini or 2 to tide us over. Note: the lychee and pear martinis were a hit! The kitchen also sent over an apologetic extra set of potstickers for us to inhale.By far, the STAR dish of the night was my duck curry. It was so flavorful, hearty, and comforting. I would order it again in a heartbeat. I have thought about that scrumptious dish many times this year. Everyone in my party of 4 enjoyed their food, and we shared the chocolate banana bread dessert too.We had the table by the fireplace, which definitely got quite warm, so make that logistical memo.Me of the future: come back here for that duck curry!"

Ba Le Sandwich

★★★★☆ 3.9 (894)

"The food here is excellent, despite it being packed, still received my food in a timely manner. Since I'm not from here, ordered a lot to go, and all sandwiches i ordered was still quite delicious when i got back.Ordered a few of the speicals, along with the roast pork and crispy chicken. my friend wanted the cod, but they were out of cod.The restaurant itself has a sleek and clean design. there's no confusion here as to where to go to order and where to pick up. The restaurant also serves as a little grocery store as well, selling various types of Vietnamese sandwich meats.If I'm ever back in these parts of Chicago I would definitely come back and get a decent amount of sandwiches for the road."

Hing Kee Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (841) • $$

"A great no-frills authentic spot for soup dumplings and expanded Asian cuisine. They literally have such a large menu, though they are known to specialize in a certain region of food. We came for their specialty- the soup dumplings. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) that we got had the pork and crab in it and were wonderfully delicious and flavorful. We also got the schezuan green beans in a tasty pork sauce that was recommended by the waiter, and this was a nice side dish with rice. Such an affordable meal too!"

Sunset Pho Caffe

★★★★★ 4.7 (469) • $$

"Vietnamese and Yugoslavian fusion means spring rolls with cevapcici in them, an EXCELLENT combination. It doesn't mean that the classic pho isn't done right though, it's still hearty and meaty and loaded with everything you need. I will say the pho was heavy on black pepper and the noodles were a little fused BUT it's still a decent bowl of pho. I will say the real highlights are their non-pho dishes and their fusion and Yugoslavian dishes, I highly encourage you to branch out and explore the menu. I love cevapcici and it was so good in the spring roll!! The space is soo neat, it looks like the inside of a chapel, and the staff and service is EXCELLENT, owner offered us green plum brandy shots for St Patty's too hehe"

"This place that does not get enough recognition. The quality and authenticity of the food here is like none other. My college roommate is Vietnamese and this is the only restaurant in town that her parents will eat it because it is that authentic. The flavors in their PHO are to die for!!! I love this place so much that I refuse to go anywhere else for Vietnamese cuisine. If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out the food here is exceptional!!"

Hai Yen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (487) • $$

"Overall Thoughts: This spot has become one of my favorite spots in Argyle for fresh, traditional, and flavorful Vietnamese food at a solid price. Everything I tried was wonderful and the light, aromatic flavors truly hit the spot. The hawaiian leaf sausage is a must have, and they also have a plethora of banh mi options (+ other menu options) that I'm dying to return to try. The food comes out quickly and the staff are super sweet. The inside is very simple and barebones, but spacious and comfortable.Food I tried:- Hawaiian leaf sausage rice paper rolls (4.9/5): The hawaiian leaf sausage is one of the best things I've had in awhile. It's absolutely fire-- so juicy and flavorful.- Charbroiled pork skewer banh mi (4.7/5): A very solid and tasty banh mi for a reasonable price- $8. The bread was fresh and airy, the pork was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were sharp and crisp, and the sandwich was well sauced and not dry.- Grilled shrimp vermicelli bowl (4.3/5): Another solid dish that we enjoyed. The shrimp was a little overcooked but the lightly sweet and fishy flavors were on point.--Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5Food: 4.6/5Ambience: 4.2/5Service: 4.8/5Overall Value: 4.6/5"

House of Pho

★★★★☆ 3.7 (488) • $$

"Happy anew Year! We have not been here since the pandemic. We were driving by and say let's have lunch here they have lunch specials. When we walked inside they got rid of all their old booths and now they have wooden tables and chairs where the booths used to be. It looks nice. My husband ordered the BBQ Fried Rice lunch special and chose egg rolls for his appetizer. The serving size is smaller and yet is very filling! He says it is mild which he loves and tasted great! He would definitely order it again. I ordered the Beef Pho with egg rolls as my appetizer too. As always the food here is delicious and fresh. I added all the toppings and it was flavorful enough that I did not even have to add any of the sauces on the table. If your in the area and looking for something warm and delicious to fill your belly in the winter... stop in and give this restaurant a try! You will not be disappointed! Especially coming during lunch! Our bill was only $22.43 before tip which is amazing! Hi"

"I came here with a friend and we wanted to order something more traditional and resembles what my mom would make for me and my brother growing up. I ordered in broken Vietnamese and the owner was so so soooo sweet. Her petite stature belies her kindness and warmth that was truly felt. We got extra food for the same price for a soup dish (we made sure to tip her really generously).The food was flavorful. I ordered "ca kho to" (137) and "canh chua chay" (186) on their menu. This pairing is a match made in heaven in Vietnamese cuisine. You get braised caramelized filets of catfish with a perfectly savory sweet and sour soup. I'd bring my friends back here and try their other dishes and experience the owner's hospitality"

Hoanh Long

★★★★☆ 4 (367)

"Ok, Hoanh Long was my lifesaver as far as being one of the few restaurants open on Christmas day. Thanks to Yelp, I was able to narrow down my search of Vietnamese restaurants within a radius of the area. Hoanh Long was ranked number two out of pho restaurants which was what I craved at the time.The menu online as well as pictured is very organized! I really loved how options were separated; it made ordering easy for someone like me who is a vegetarian because everything vegetarian was in one section. I ordered the Mi Xao Chay which consisted of egg noodle stir fried with vegetable & tofu. It took thirty-nine minutes from the time of my order to the arrival of it at my doorstep via Grubhub. The Mi Xao Chay smelled fantastic! Its portion size was satisfying as well as its taste. The one thing I will likely do away with next time is the tofu because the vegetables were satisfying enough.I had a pleasant ordering experience with this restaurant. As like I, if you are ever looking for an option, let alone an option open on Christmas, then look no further than Hoanh Long.~Blessings~  Thomas G"

Phodega

★★★★☆ 4.3 (302)

"Phodega has my ultimate comfort food: Hainan chicken, fried chicken, white rice cooked in chicken fat, and beef pho. I usually like scallion-ginger oil over my Hainan chicken, but Phodega uses a ginger-garlic sauce. The fried chicken is very crispy. The white rice is so flavorful after being cooked in chicken fat; whoever thought of this idea is a genius. The beef pho comes with both sliced ribeye and beef meatballs. The portions are big. I was definitely full afterwards.They also have Asian sodas...the ones that are full of high frustose corn syrup and artificial flavors...but those are still considered comfort food in my book."

King Pho

★★★★☆ 3.7 (394) • $$

"Solid choice for Vietnamese noodles. The space is nice and open and could accommodate larger groups nicely. The a/c could have been a bit cooler as it was one of the hotter/humid days of the summer, but acceptable. We had the tendon, brisket and tripe noodle soup which was a big hit. The soup was flavorful, complex and had so many different flavors going on in it. Also ordered a side of extra noodles $1.5 which definitely needed as my family shared the dishes together. The vermicelli lemon grass pork salad was a really filling serving size and had a blast of flavor from the fish sauce dressing. Perfect for a hot day dish. Wish the spring rolls could have been cut to smaller size to make it easier to eat as I mixed the noodles together. The food was good and a big plus is that there is parking in the rear. This is one where I'll be back."

Banh Mi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (370) • $

"Used to go to their old location on Broadway. Loved their BBQ, chicken lemongrass and their chicken curry banh mi sandwiches. Stopped today. Place smells like mildew, you order at a kiosk and not with a human and the BBQ pork banh mi was fatty and flavorless except for the jalapeño pepper and cilantro. I was greatly disappointed."

Pho Lover

★★★★☆ 3.7 (367) • $$

"Pho Lover is a great Vietnamese restaurants. This restaurant is relatively new and deserves to be visited if you enjoy Vietnamese food. The first thing that you will notice is how beautiful this restaurant is. A lot of attention went into the decor. There are two very very big trees in the middle of the restaurant near the entrance. The walls are also very gorgeously decorated. The food was just as fancy. We ordered the Jumbo Pho Dac Biet (with a braised bone in beef short rib, extra meat and noodle). The short rib was fall off the bone tender. The broth was fantastic. Add the fresh bean sprouts and basil and it is super flavorful. We also ordered the Bun Combo and Egg Roll (with beef, shrimp and lemongrass pork). This was also a hit. The fish oil dressing was great. The shrimp and pork were amazing. I highly recommend Pho Lover. I will be coming back to try more of their menu."

Pho Tam

★★★★☆ 4.2 (273)

"I still can't believe that I waited this long to try Pho Tam. I've been driving past this place for years every time I worked out. I finally decided to take my kids for a Tuesday dinner and try Vietnamese food.Once we got inside, we were greeted and seated right away. There were several tables occupied already and we saw how big the Pho bowls were. Our server took our orders once we've decided on what we wanted. Our food did not take long to be served. My kids and I tried 2 Pho bowls, one with 3 kinds of meat and the other with 2 kinds of meat. We also tried the GRILLED PORK BANH MI. Besides his huge bowl of pho with 3 meats, my son also ordered an extra bowl of noodles. We tried the STEAK, FLANK, BRISKET, and MEATBALLS. All the meats were good and there were quite enough pieces in each pho bowl. The broth was flavorful and delicious. My kids added the bean sprouts, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, and the hot sauce. I added all the fixings for the banh mi as well. Everything was delicious and very satisfying. I liked their ICED COFFEE too.The dining area was neat, the bathroom was clean, parking spots were enough, and the service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed and busy by the time we were leaving. I really enjoyed our dining experience here. It was also a perfect night to have warm pho, since it was a rainy day. I will definitely come back to try other pho and the grilled chicken banh mi. Til next time!"

Pho Viet

★★★★☆ 3.9 (297) • $$

"We did takeout for lunch since we were in the vicinity. The dining space is very laid-back and probably easy to have kids over. At least that's what the very personable and friendly person at the register told me. We ordered two bahn mi sandwiches. The barbecue pork was probably sweeter than the other classic version. We also ordered a dish with egg noodle which came with soup on the side. I appreciated that the cashier telling me not to combine the soup with the noodles since that's not how it's meant to be eaten and it won't be good."

LD Pho

★★★★★ 4.5 (216) • $$

"Even though it's not hard to find pho, most pho uses beef or chicken broth. It's not as easy to find vegetarian friendly pho, but there's lots of places where you can get it. LD Pho is one of these. Good prices for a pretty large bowl of noodles and protein. The broth is kind of bland, which is the only complaint, but it helps with a touch of seasoning. Among the best foods for cool weather is pho in a bowl. It just does something good. The weather was pretty cool for this time of year. Luckily this place wasn't far. We stopped in and got a couple bowls of the Pho Chay, which is vegan. It's $13 for a pretty big ass bowl. This has basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, mushrooms, and tofu. Bowls only come in the one size, meaning there likely will be leftovers. The broth was kind of too much like water, and needed a little seasoning from the hot sauce and peppers. Good place to get some tasty broth. It's close to the Kedzie Brown Line station in Albany Park. The inside is pretty small, so most people get takeout."

Miss Saigon

★★★★☆ 4.3 (231) • $$

"Very good! We both got the pho "saigon". Lots of meat! I was filled up. We also got fried eggrolls but it came with a diff sauce then fish sauce so that was weird. Didn't care for it too much. I also got one of the fruit teas (mix of lychee and peach) which was very refreshing. They don't rush you out which is nice but you gotta get their attention for service. My server was very nice. The soap dispenser in the bathroom wasn't working but there was so in it....hope that gets fixed. Nice menu, I saw some Korean ramen and pork buns... I'd come back! The soup was salty and flavorful."

CoCo Vietnamese Sandwiches & Pho

★★★★☆ 4.4 (208) • $

"I came in here during a week day for lunch hoping to sit down and have a bowl of pho and have a Banh Mi and Viet coffee for take-out afterwards, but I quickly realized after I walked over here from my place that they are only doing take out and delivery orders. I assume that this all started post-COVID but I was disappointed. Onto the experience and food. The older man taking my order behind the counter was really nice. He did make a mistake however because I wanted a bowl of pho and a banh mi but when he rung me up, I paid, and then he was like "wait, you wanted two bowls of pho?". I told him that I wanted just one and a Banh Mi with coffee. He realized he made a mistake and he looked a little flustered since I had just paid. Anyways, I told him it wasn't a big deal. I waited less than 6-7 minutes and my stuff was packaged and ready to go. He also throw in an Thai Iced Tea for the mistake. I brought it home and everything was packaged nicely. I saved the other pho for the next day. My pho was pretty good. I don't normally like taking pho to-go as it is never the same, but I'd rate it an 8/10. Really wish I could have dined in. My Viet coffee and thai iced tea were good, however I wish the Viet coffee was just black with no sugar. I like that this Vietnamese place is located away from the other Little Vietnam (Argyle) restaurants because it allows for more options in my area. I'll be back!"

2 Asian Brothers

★★★★☆ 4 (249) • $$

"It was a pleasure dining here at 2 Asian Brothers! They have excellent food and also very flavorful! The staff were very kind and courteous and prepared the food as I requested - without cilantro. They also checked to make sure we were satisfied, and I assured them that everything was delicious! I ordered their classic Banh Mi that tasted very fresh and authentic compared to a lot of other Banh Mi places I've tried in Chicago. Their serving is generous and fair. The staff was very sweet and they have cozy counter service place with an expansive menu of quality offerings. I will definitely come back again!"

Pho Nam Lua

★★★★☆ 3.9 (231)

"My fiancé's family always loves going here when they don't want to drive to Argyle for quality Vietnamese food. It never disappoints! The service is attentive.Prices are fair.Free parking in the shared plaza lot.I ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio - grilled pork with vermicelli noodles and egg rolls. Comes with fish sauce and so much protein! I feel like some places usually skimp on the protein but this was a solid portion. The egg roll (or cha gio) was also the best I've had at a restaurant hands down. My fiancé ordered the bun Bo hue - spicy beef noodle soup. Super flavorful, not overly spicy, and came with the usual veggie accompaniments. Wish we saved the broth to take home and have leftovers! Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Vietnamese food outside of Argyle!"

Dong Ky Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (211) • $

"Finally stepped into this joint after moving to the area well over a year ago and I'm super happy I did. The staff was so friendly here compared to some other places I've been to in the area, but most importantly, the food was delicious and affordable!The entrance is located within the entrance of the Asian grocery store next door (Park To Shop).This place is a very no-frills type of restaurant with a very extensive menu. We ordered the Thịt Kho (braised pork belly with hard boiled egg and fish sauce), the Canh Chua Cá (sweet & sour catfish soup, as well as a little appetizer and everything was soooo good. This meal was perfect for a rainy day! Also - super grateful they are BYOB and also open on Mondays! Will be back."

Mk Noodle

★★★★★ 4.7 (147) • $$

"MK noodle was recently featured though our local news and the review made me want to try this place out. The pho brisket is very good and I love their Banh Xeo. Portions are huge and filling. Their ordering kiosk is to the left when you enter. Although the machines encourage cashless payments if you prefer to pay the traditional way (cash) just go straight back to the counters and place your order. The place is spacious and can easily seat 30. The restaurant is in a busy section of street in Roscoe Village and scoring a metered parking space down Lincoln avenue is hit or miss. Overall a nice place serving good Vietnamese food with prices on par with the neighborhood."

Phoday

★★★★★ 4.5 (155) • $$

"I visited Phoday for lunch on a Wednesday and found it to be fairly busy, yet the noise level was low. The space was clean, with pleasant music playing in the background. The service was quick and friendly, making for an enjoyable dining experience.Phoday offers a wide menu, including Halal meat options for pho. I ordered the #6 with beef broth and steak in a small size, which was more than enough for lunch. It was a delicious, hearty bowl of beef pho, and the pricing was reasonable. I would definitely come back."

Pho Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (213)

"I came here with my husband after 1.5 weeks of traveling, and Asian food is always the first thing I crave when I'm back home. We chose Pho Café since it was pretty close to the parking lot under the CTA redline and I knew they were open later (their closing time is 10:00pm).I've been here several times with my family before (dining in), and usually there is plenty of seating inside. If you're craving pho or Vietnamese food and don't want to wait in line elsewhere, Pho Cafe will do the trick! It's pretty low key and quiet which is sometimes a nice change from all the bustle of Chinatown.The review is for the food when I came here to dine in last week. While I normally order pho, I decided to get a grilled pork chop vermicelli bowl with a side of broth (extra $2). My husband got the grilled pork rice plate. For apps, we shared the beef skewers which were really tender and flavorful - my favorite thing we ordered that night. I got some fresh shrimp spring rolls as well (an order comes with 2).Pho Cafe has a wide selection of items on their menu, but my most recent visit felt kind below average. The spring rolls did not have bean sprouts (just shrimp, Thai basil, and rice vermicelli) and the hoisin dipping sauce tasted extra watered down. My husband's pork plate that comes with Chinese sausage only included two meagerly segments. Perhaps it was an off day when we went, because my mom is a huge fan (!) and overall it's nice to have Vietnamese options in a Chinatown, in addition to The Noodle on Wentworth and a version of it from Joy Yee's. Generally it's pretty solid. And a lot of folks do carry-out or delivery.Has the shortage of sriracha really (negatively) impacted pho in restaurants around the world? That was kind of the vibe of our meal there: "we are out of sriracha, we are doing our best (and we understand there was more to be expected)..." I could be projecting. Anyway, their replacement sriracha was actually a Tabasco branded hot chili sauce. It's not the same, and that's the way it is.This won't be my last time at Pho Cafe, but I hope next time we dine here we will feel a little bit more love from the dishes."

Pho Son Ha

★★★★☆ 4.1 (173)

"This is my favorite place to get Pho from in the suburbs! The owner is always super sweet and the pho is just so good. From the flavorful broth and the different combinations of meat you can have, definitely hits the spot. Especially when the weather calls for a big bowl of soup or if you're not feeling well."

Sochi Saigon Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (159)

"Finally got a chance to check this place out. I had planned to do takeout, and when I online to place my order, each item was $2 more than what was on their online menu. I decided to call it in, the woman was really nice, but it was still the same price. These restaurants really have to start updated their online menus. It's one of biggest pet peeves in the food industry. Anywho, I placed an order of their Spring Rolls, Saigon Pho and Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice. The spring rolls came with shrimp, pork, rice noodle, lettuce, herbs and served with a side of peanut sauce and crushed peanuts. These were actually really good and refreshing. A very light way to start a meal. The Saigon Pho I felt could have used more flavor. I only tried a little bit; but haven't really been a big fan of taking out Pho or Ramen. Like to eat that stuff inside the restaurant. Felt like they could have given us more Hoisin sauce to add to the pho. It was served with grilled brisket, flank steak, cilantro, holy basil, and bean sprouts in a beef bone marrow broth. I'm a sucker for rice and knew I had to order the Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice. While it's certainly on the pricey side, they definitely don't skimp out on the crab meat. This was also served with shrimp, green onion, egg yolk, butter garlic sauce, masago, cilantro and scallions. The slap to mama seasoning really went well with the rice and the shrimp and crab. This dish was delicious and would definitely considering ordering this again, but I will most likely dine in next time."

"This cafe in west loop has the best Veggie Bahn Mi and Vietnamese coffee. My fiance and I have stopped here a bunch of times and the first time we came we ordered the Bahn mi on a whim. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavor. The people that own and work here are so kind as well and the decor is very aesthetic. Would come here everyday if I can"

Pho Chu Hai - Pho N Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (142)

"This is my go to pho place. It's located in a strip mall so there plenty of parking.There's times when I want to have some pho in the morning for breakfast so yeah they are open early for some Vietnamese breakfast @ 9am. I typically order my pho combination noodle soup no tripe but extra meat balls. They give you a good amount of meats with your noodles and just enough soup as I don't typically like so much soup of my pho. And the green fixings are fresh and crispy not wilted like some places I've eaten pho.The place is very clean and modern tvs and white tables sometime they play Vietnamese music.It's also spacious you can sit anywhere. I love booths seating and their seatings are mostly booths on both sides of the walls and in the middle are tables that can the moved around for bigger parties.I also had their appetizers of fresh spring rolls with shrimp and pork very tasty.I had their bbq pork stick appetizer that was flavorful juicy pieces I'd get it again.I also tried their bbq pork dish that comes with white rice and a side of salad green all on one plate. Pork chops grilled well and juicy and flavorful.I tried their Vietnamese tea with Boba that was good your typical drink but it wasn't frozen.The staff were nice and the price is average.Overall, I love this place I will come back here again and again maybe one day I'll try something different :)"

Tasty House1

★★★★★ 4.7 (106)

"My sister recently told me about an Asian restaurant that was absolutely fantastic. She told me that I needed to check it out as soon as possible and that I would absolutely love it. The name of this restaurant is Tasty House #1 in Carol Stream.We ended up going on a Sunday night. The restaurant was completely packed, which is a good sign of a restaurant that serves good food.The owner remembered my sister. He was extremely friendly to her and her family and was happy to meet me. I already had a very good feeling about this place. The level of customer service was fantastic.The main dish that this location is known for is Pho. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle dish with herbs and meats.I went with the make your own Pho. I added brisket, Vietnamese meatballs, and chicken. While we waited for our main dishes, we also ordered egg rolls and spring rolls. The eggrolls and spring rolls were super fresh and delicious. One thing that you definitely need to try when you go here is their hot chilli oil. It is the best hot chilli oil I have ever had. There is a heavy flavor of garlic and the spice is not too spicy.They are also known for making fresh fruit drinks and Boba teas. My favorite flavor is taro. It is a purple potato/Yam that is sweet and delicious, something you need to try.The restaurant seemed to be getting busier as we sat and the owner was very busy serving tables, while one of his workers made fresh fruit drinks for the entire little league baseball team that suddenly walked in. All of this chaos and they never missed a beat.Our main dishes arrive at the table. The Pho came with a side of bean sprouts herbs, such as cilantro and mint amongst other items to add in to your Pho.The broth was so rich and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I was in heaven.We all ate until we were completely full. Six people and the bill was under $200 to eat like kings and queens.I definitely cannot recommend this place enough for you to check out. You will not be sorry. When you stop in please tell them the Chicago Food King sent you.I give a rating of 9 out of 10. This is definitely a place that you need to check out."

"Stopped by pretty late, about 45 minutes before closing. The dining room was almost full, still. Regardless, I got seated immediately. They handed the menu to me.Iced water was served immediately.First time being in this restaurant, I had no idea what I wanted to order. I knew I would love to have a good bowl of hot soup, since it was pretty chilly outside, and I just finished my daily walk by the lake. I decided to get the Seafood Pho (#60)Waiter assured me that I made a good choice! And I certainly hoped that, too.My pho arrived very quickly. It was hot (temperature wise) and had 3 pieces of shrimp in it, plus some other unknown fish ... It had rice noodles what I really loved! The broth was not tasty at all. As a matter of fact, I think it was plain boiled water ... so I quickly added some spices to it from the condiment tray on the table. Obviously I don't know how to make this dish better, but I really didn't like it, ate maybe half of it. I wish the broth was a real soup, like chicken flavored of something ... Anyway, I saw other people were pretty happy with their orders! Probably they knew the menu better than I did. Servers were very nice, polite."

Pho Kho Gia Lai

"Craving for Pho on a cold afternoon. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a try! It was around noon and there were 3 tables waiting for their food. The waitress was very friendly, nice and attentive. The place has simple decor, clean and cozy. I got my order to go. I ordered chicken pad Thai, Pho Tai, and crispy fried egg rolls. I wanted to get their pork rice dish but she told me the pork wasn't done marinating yet :( so I opted for pad thai instead. If you order pad thai, know that this is a Vietnamese place so the pad thai isn't going to taste anything like what you'd get at a Thai restaurant. It's less sweet , no cabbages, and the chicken was spicy. I didn't remember seeing anywhere on the menu indicating the chicken pad thai is spicy. I got this dish for my toddler and obviously, they weren't able to eat it. It was a bummer. The closest thing this dish is anything like pad thai are the noodles lol I would not be ordering this dish here again. It is a good noodle dish! But I wasn't liking the heat on the chicken or the flavors as much. The Pho, on the other hand, was delicious! (One would hope! Lol) Since I got mine to go, I picked the option of having to cook the meat myself at home. (The beef slices came in a zip lock bag. ) There was lots of noodles and bean sprouts in the container. The portion was huge! Easily can be shared with another person. Remember not to over cook the noodles! After the broth boils, I'd just throw the noodles , veggies and beef in there for a min or two max! Otherwise, you will get really soggy noodles. And let the beef defrost a little bit.The egg rolls were good. Crispy with lots of filling inside. I do have to mention it was very oily tho. I reheated it up and soaked up the oil with paper towels. I will be returning when I'm craving for Pho and will def be trying their pork dish and bahn mi!"

"I was on vacation in this area and wanted pho. Found this place that was open late. There was a huge parking lot. The place is huge. I like that there was large tables to accommodate large family gatherings. I ordered spring rolls and they were good but the sauce was not a peanut sauce. I was a little disappointed. My husband ordered a strawberry smoothie that was really good. The pho was really good and portions are generous. They only accepted cash so something to consider. Overall okay experience."
