Incredible!! If your reading this review to decide if you want to go, go! I got the spring rolls, clay pot catfish, and meatball pho. The clay catfish was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. The sauce was amazing as well. The pho broth was beautifully flavored. The spring rolls were alright, still good, and the peanut sauce was great and carried alot. Over all very amazing food. Check it out!

I had been eyeing this eatery for a while now, but what drove me to try it out was that my coworker had recently returned from Vietnam and couldn’t stop praising how amazing the food, so I decided to have lunch there.
The ambiance makes me nostalgic, with a wonderful calming Vietnamese melody playing in the background throughout the area, which has a charming decor. All of these factors make me feel at home.
As an appetizer, I started with a beef roll. Marinated beef, bean sprouts, lettuce, and rice vermicelli noodles make up the filling. It’s encased in a translucent rice paper skin. They also gave fish sauce as a dipping sauce because the roll tasted bland without it. The only thing I don’t like is their meat. It had a mild flavor and was dry. The appearance is unappealing and reminds me of beef jerky.
My entree was their pho dac biet. It was served with garnishes of bean sprouts, lime, jalapeo, and cilantro on the side. I believe their broth lacks a strong beef flavor and scent. They also omitted to include tendon, which is generally included in all pho house specials. The meat-to-noodle ratio is inconsistent because I ate more rice noodles than beef.
As an addition to the pho, I ordered banh mi thit bo nuong. The bread is good and flaky, but I wish they had toasted it a little more. I prefer my bread to have a great crust. I enjoyed their onion pickles since they really bring out the acidity and sweetness. The beef was prepared in the same manner as the appetizer, which disappointed me much and compromised the flavor of the sandwich.
Their service was prompt, and I received my meals in a timely manner. Customer service, on the other hand, requires some effort. I felt rushed at first, and before I could finish my order, she snatched the menu away. She barely came over to check on me.
I don’t agree with their business practices. I get the impression that they cheap out on the ingredients in order to save money. I recognize that food prices are high, but there must be some standards.

This is the most classic mom and pop store that serves the most generous pho. I really don’t know any place where you can get a combination pho for 12 bucks.
Also, there are very few pho places that serve with chicken broth, instead of beef. Here you get the cleanest broth, hint of sweetness from thinly sliced onions. This is the spot where I come when I have a hangover or want clear, white broth, or I dont want to be bothered with parking in viet, town, or city.
There are times I crave beef broth pho, where it’s more savory, beefy, and spice, then I go to different spots. Any other occasion, I come here.
Their fried rice is kinda weak and small, and they haven’t really tried main dishes. But their springroll and banh mi is solid, again great price.
Highly recommend pho 38 and spring roll, pork banh mi.
The appetizer picture in this post is #19, it was okay.
Sometimes you get served by kids, sometimes parents etc. Not sure what these other reviewers want more from mom and pop store.

Sorry, but this was the worst Vietnamese food I’ve ever had in the Chicagoland Area. Flavors were all wrong, super bland, the pho was literally just watery bland won ton broth. So strange. I don’t think they understand Vietnamese flavor profiles at this restaurant. Extremely disappointing, and frustrating. I definitely went out of my way to try this restaurant and was really unhappy with the food. Will not be returning.

Beef pho was flavorful and fresh. Bahm me had a good flavor but the bun was a bit soaky, I think it should be crisp baguette style. A place is a but run down. Wish they had napkins on the table.

I have been going here for a few years, a friend had took me here and initially it was wonderful good food decent service. As of more recently there portion sizes have decreased substantially to the point where extra meat used to be a normal size portion not to mention that the quality of the pho has gone down.

Good food & kind staff. I tried the Bouillabaisse soup and the broth was good. The spring rolls were yummy!

It is a nice place, but not the Vietnamese food we know and like. Grilled porkchops and egg was not up to par. The pork chops had too much grease and excess of sweet sauce, grilled too fast that it was too burnt for our taste.The side soup very bland. At best description, it is akin to a toned down version. Service is ok.
It is ok for a one time visit.

I got to visit Dung Gia Restaurant with my cousin. Have to say the quality is unlike anywhere else. So, let me get into it! The food, oh the broth of the pho is one of the best I have ever tried. And I have traveled and had home cooked pho. The quality of the food in my opinion is the best I have tried. The service was really good. The waitress really helped my cousin and I and even offered up recommendations. I like it when the staff at a restaurant offer up Rec’s as they are a hidden resources. Atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, it was very laid back and causal. And the decor really made the experience even more worth it. Overall, I would recommend DGR to anyone who wants a great bowl of Pho and an excellent broth.

Cute little Vietnamese restaurant, runned by family I’d say. Started off with beef spring roll and pork eggroll, springroll with peanut sauce was so fresh and healthy! Eggroll very crispy with amazing taste. For entrees I had server help me out, I took Vermicelli rice noodle with beef, very healthy option, with lettuce marinated beef and plenty of noodles, also chicken soup is included. I also tried grilled eggplant which was great presentation and mixture of tastes. Huge recommendation to little neighbourhood place! Service was fast and helpful.
