Pho 888

I came for an early weekend lunch, no one else was eating here yet, and got one of their phos. They seem to give more protein than some other pho restaurants. In terms of the broth, it tasted like the standard broth you'd expect, nothing significantly better than any other place in the neighborhood. Their squeeze bottles for the sauces were sticky to the touch, so sanitation can be improved. I did enjoy my pho, as I typically do, but I can't say it was anything that blew me away or significantly better than your ordinary bowl of pho. The space is on the smaller side for a Vietnamese restaurant and I'm not sure that they would be able to accommodate larger parties. They only have one high chair in the restaurant if that helps give you a gauge of capacity.

We ordered online and our order was wrong, we ordered beef spring rolls and they sent shrimp (my partner can't eat shrimp). We also ordered the ga xao me and it was $18.50 and came with probably 4 pieces of chicken. It was almost completely just onions and peppers. And it wasn't even good. One of the worst meals I've had in a while honestly. It was extremely expensive considering we couldn't eat half of it and barely got enough chicken to split the second dish between us.

My go to Pho spot on the northside. Always tasty. Friendly service. Family owned. Almost everyone coming to the neighborhood for Pho and other Vietnamese delights goes to the place around the corner, but they're missing out. Service is way better here as well.

Fried rice: not much stuff to make this worth 18$Beef banh mi: a bit too sweet, nothing special. Bun Bo hue: you have to get this. Huge amount for only 17$. This itself can feed 2 people. Just giant. And the flavor is great too. I would give 5 star for this dish. Slightly sweet and very savory soup with lots of thin cut meat flank and a big pork leg(not cooked enough for this one though). Looks spicy but not that bad. Goes well with the rice noodleThai tea boba: don't get this. Boba's not cooked enough. Too tough. Also too sweet. Feels like the powder bag version of Thai tea you can get for 50 cents in an Asian grocery store. Definitely not worth 6.5$

This is a small and casual pho place in uptown. They had a variety of options, and I chose to get the vegetable pho. It was very fresh and refreshing. There were many vegetables and tofu. With the addition of all the sauces and lime it turned out to be a very delicious meal. The portion size is large and the menu has a lot of different food options. The food came out very quickly and it was an affordable meal.

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

The food here is so delicious, and the staff are sweet and friendly! The interior is decorated simply and casually, and the menu is very expansive, with a diverse selection of Vietnamese staples-- from pho to banh mis to bun bo hue. My 3 friends and I came on a Friday night and it wasn't busy. We ordered 5 dishes to split amongst us all:- Pho Tai: I'd say this is probably among the best pho I've had thus far in Chicago; the broth is just so flavorful, savory, and aromatic, and the noodles are cooked to the perfect texture. - Banh Mi with Grilled Pork: Would totally recommend the banh mis here; the bread is warm, flaky, and delicious with the perfect amount of sauce and veggies. The grilled pork is a classic, and the meat is nicely cooked and full of flavor. - Banh Mi with Shredded Pork Skins: The pork skin provided great textures and unique flavors; another awesome choice of banh mi to order. - Bun Bo Hue: I personally liked the pho better, but this broth is spicy and flavorful, and the meats and other ingredients add to the overall heartiness of this classic dish.- Banh hoi tom thit nuong with pork (fine vermicelli mats with BBQ shrimp and pork): These build your own spring rolls are consistently among my favorite Vietnamese dishes. The BBQ shrimp and pork here are grilled wonderfully, and the fresh veggies and rice noodles create a light, fresh, balanced flavor. There was a little too much rice noodle and not enough meat for the rolls though, so we had a quite a bit of rice noodles left at the end. But they were delicious when soaked in the nuoc cham sauce.The total with tip came out to $23 per person, which isn't bad, considering we ordered a lot of food and were all very full and satisfied afterwards. The prices are pretty standard relative to other restaurants in Argyle. --Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5Food: 5/5Ambience: 4/5Service: 5/5Overall Value: 5/5

Great find! We were headed to Tank Noodle but forgot they were closed Wednesdays, so we came here instead. So glad we did! We were immediately sat and given water. We ordered the Shrimp Summer Rolls and each got a Pho Tai. The summer rolls were pretty large, and were a perfect vehicle for the peanut sauce lol! The pho was pho-nomenal! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the amount of meat you get in the order definitely makes the price worth it. The noodles were slightly hard for my taste when the soup first arrived at the table, but after spending some time in the broth they loosened right up. My boyfriend had the fresh lemonade and it was delicious. Service was fast, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. This is definitely my new favorite spot in Argyle.

In terms of pho restaurants in Argyle, Pho 888 is one of my favorites. I love getting the bun bo hue and while that isn't pho, it is a noodle dish. The flavors are so good, and honestly, it tastes even better the next day if you save it. The restaurant inside is small but spacious enough where I don't feel like I'm too close to other patrons. Service is crazy fast, with us ordering and almost immediately getting our dishes. Pro tip: If I order take out and have broth left over after I eat the noodles and I want more, I just boil the broth and add in frozen udon noodles to get a second serving!

Ordered delivery and omg bun Bo hue was amazing! So flavorful and the portion was huge! I highly recommend!
