This is a phenomenal pho place. Stopped here after a long busy day and was met with the most exceptional service. The food probably only took three minutes to come out and it was so delicious! They have huge sizes. The two of us just shared one dish. Excellent and fresh garnishes. Lots of meat!!!!
And personally, I just loved the dinerdash decor that came with eating here!

Big servings! Plus, you can choose the meat you want to add to your soup. There were plenty of seats available when we arrived. I love the pictures on the wall. And the food is great!

This place is a comfort for Vietnamese food.
I’ve been coming back with my family a few times now.
I enjoyed the Pho and Grilled Pork Chop Rice Plate!

Great place for pho. Price is little bit on the higher side because you choose the protein toppings. However, they do give you a lot. I ordered mine with beef brisket and tripe. So much meat and tripe that I wished I only ordered brisket or tripe and not both. Pork chop platter was good as well. Forgot to take pic of the shrimp spring rolls.

This was my first visit and I will be back. I had the beef pho and it was delicious. Generous servings, decent prices, and excellent service. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s really cute inside. Highly recommended.

Chef’s special OXTAIL pho delicious!!!!! Must try!!
Came on a Saturday evening around 6:30. We were seated immediately and we ordered the oxtail pho which is the chef’s special, beef pho with all the meats and tripe, spring rolls, and chicken lemongrass banh mi, and Thai iced tea.
The oxtail pho was so tender and falling off the bone! The oxtail was super flavorful and I absolutely devoured it!! The broth was semi sweet (not overly just the right amount of sweetness) and hints of cinnamon. You will have to get in there to pull the meat off which falls off instantly as it’s so tender or you can just bite it off but it was easier for me to use my hands so it can be a little messy but it was delicious and I’d order it again! Highly highly recommend!!
The beef pho had a more savory flavored broth. All the meats were good and the tripe was very tender. Highly recommend if you want a more savory meaty broth!
The thing I like about both of these broths was that they weren’t overly salty. We have been to so many pho restaurants especially in Chicago since that’s where we live and I got to say this place beats all of them! We drove an hour to get here because this place was highly recommended and it was well worth the drive!
The spring rolls were plated beautifully and absolutely delicious! The lettuce was green and vibrant and not wilty and had a nice crunch to it as it should. Even the Thai basil and bean sprouts were fresh, we’ve gone to pho places in Chicago where the basil is black and wilted and the bean sprouts are browning and not as crisp but here they were not and even the limes were juicy and not dry or hard.
The Thai iced tea was absolutely perfect and exactly how I wanted it to taste! I liked that they served it in a cute glass mason jar.
The chicken lemongrass banh mi was just okay. I wouldn’t recommend or order it again. The chicken was cold and didn’t have lemongrass flavor like the menu described. I’ve had lemongrass chicken banh mi in Chinatown at Joyee Plus in Chicago and I gotta say it tastes better there where the chicken is warm and really tastes like lemongrass but here the chicken was cold and lacked flavor didn’t really taste like anything. It was underwhelming and just okay.
The ambiance in this restaurant is elegant and almost like fine dining with cloth napkins and nice table place setting. The bathrooms are extremely clean and the staff is super professional and accommodating.
The male server there was very kind, polite, and accommodated us when we ordered the wrong pho and he was able to switch it to the one we wanted! Really appreciate that and because of that great customer service I will definitely be returning and is the reason I gave 5 star rating otherwise I would have given 4 bc I wasn’t a fan of the bahn mi sandwich. Customer service means everything to me especially when I’m dining in and spending a lot of money.
Overall, all the food was plated aesthetically and good quality. For everything it was $74. That covered two pho, appetizer (spring rolls), one thai iced tea and the bahn mi sandwich. This place is pricier than pho restaurants in Chicago but I will admit the quality of the food is exceptional and the customer service top tier!!!
It did get busier around 7/730pm so if you don’t want to wait come earlier around 4-6pm.
I will return if I’m ever in the area. FYI they do have ample parking.

If you’re looking for fantastic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. The Pho is authentic and never disappoints. Our favorite though is the fresh shrimp spring rolls and the lemongrass chicken bahn mi sandwich.

My favorite place for pho! I can trust the quality of the food with love ❤️ The owner here is super sweet. I highly recommend their pho and bahn mi. You MUST TRY the Thai iced tea! I love it soooo much!

It was a surprise that I found out from a local about this GREAT Vietnamese restaurant near Chicago O’hare Airport. We were a group of 17 people traveling together and had 6 hours layover. We came to the restaurant by Uber and had lunch. The appetizers were great, we tried the chicken wings, spring rolls, BBQ ribs, Grilled Beef Salad and all were excellent. Since we had a big group, we tried almost everything on the menu for the main courses, different phở flavors, Pork Chop with rice, hủ tiếu, bún bò huế, etc., and exchanging opinions. We were unanimously agreed that each dish was excellent beyond expectation, the portion was very generous, the service was fast and courteous. We all saved the address and will come back when we are in Chicago again.
