Food is alright. For what it is, I think some other places on this strip are better. Honestly, it’s very pricey after tax and tip.

The restaurant has a very cozy feel to it though, which I’m sure a lot would find appealing.

Pho Tao Bo Vien was fantastic. Great broth, large serving size. Friendly and fast service. Will definitely return!

I’ve been here a few times and it pains me to make this review, the pho is so tasty. The service is the confusing mix of curt and warm that always precedes delicious food. But this last visit I saw something I cannot unsee. The world must know.

I have lived in a developing nation. I am a traveler, and not a picky one. I have bounced around less than stellar hostels in Latin America, fielded the hole-in-the-ground toilets of less developed countries. Many crusty dive bar bathrooms have seen my relieved face on a late night.

When I entered the bathroom of this establishment, I almost regurgitated my delicious pho (with the works, I love tripe). Before even entering, the door handle was brown around the edges. “Okay,” I tell myself, “they haven’t wiped down the paint in a while. No big deal, I’ll be washing my hands anyways.” But what awaited me inside was so horrifying, so blood-curdling, I still haven’t forgotten it weeks later. The wall near the toilet was spattered with mysterious brown liquids. The area around the toilet handle had what I can only describe as brown streaky fingerprints around it, which were replicated around the inner door handle. The toilet was speckled with a variety of liquids. Everything had a base level of yellowish grime, including the public bidet (was not feeling brave enough to use it, if you were wondering).

I conducted my business atop layers of toilet paper, when I went to wash my hands, I realized there were no paper towels. Usually a minor inconvenience, but the suspicious colors around the faucet handle and door knob made me suspicious that touching them without a barrier would undo my attempts at hygiene. I used wads of toilet paper instead, but it was just the cherry on top.

I cannot return, and it makes me so sad because the pho is really very tasty. I beg you pho 888: please douse the bathrooms in bleach so I may return. I just cannot stop thinking about what else I may not be seeing that is in that state of hygiene.

I don’t think I took enough photos to capture it, but I hope I have painted a picture.

After my workout class, I decided to stop by Pho 888 for the first time. It’s a bit smaller than some other places nearby, but I was really impressed with the appetizers we ordered. The barbecue pork sandwich was amazing! However, the rice noodle soup was a bit disappointing for me. The noodles were a bit too soft and mushy, which affected the texture, and the broth didn’t have much flavor. I’d definitely return for the appetizers, but for soup

Pho 888 offers an authentic Vietnamese dining experience with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is simple, with granite-topped tables and decor that adds a touch of Vietnamese culture. This no-frills restaurant provides a comfortable and inviting vibe, perfect for a casual meal.

The pho is the star of the menu, with a rich and flavorful broth that’s clear yet packed with depth. Generous portions of tender beef slices complement the aromatic broth, garnished with fresh green onions and cilantro, enhancing each sip and bite. The noodles are cooked to perfection, with a firm yet tender texture that pairs well with the broth. If you’re a pho enthusiast, this spot is a must-try for the depth of flavor they manage to infuse into each bowl.

The shrimp spring rolls are fresh and tightly wrapped, served with a savory peanut dipping sauce that adds a nutty, slightly sweet element to each bite. They’re a refreshing start to the meal and show a nice balance of textures with the soft rice paper, crunchy veggies, and tender shrimp.

Overall, Pho 888 delivers an excellent Vietnamese dining experience with well-executed dishes and generous portions. This spot is a gem for anyone looking for comforting, authentic pho in the Uptown area.

Huge portions of fantastic food from an expansive menu for great prices. I went here for a quick family dinner on the last warm day on October and asked to sit outside. The chairs were locked up when I got there, but the employees were more than willing to unlock them and set up and clean off a table for us. The menu is huge, and they were accommodating with my allergies and told me that what I was ordering was safe for me. All of the food my family and I had was fantastic, and it all came on huge plates, far more food than we expected for the price (and of course we wound up having to take home leftovers). The place is very low key and nothing fancy, but still has a good vibe to it. The service was very good, the woman who I assume is one of the owners was very nice. Definitely going to come back here in the future.

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): 4.5/5
Food: 5/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Overall Value: 5/5

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent visit. Several staff members were talking loudly in the back and ignored the fact that the tables had not been cleaned from previous customers. When my meal arrived, the egg roll was badly burnt. Although the owner agreed it shouldn’t have been served, the replacement I was given was also burnt and covered in charred crumbs. It looked like used dirty oil that did not change and over used. The lack of attention to both cleanliness and food quality was very upsetting.

Worst dining experiences at this restaurant. The service was incredibly rude-staff acted like helping customers was a burden rather than their job. We waited an unreasonable amount of time.

When the food finally arrived, the table and utensils were dirty, which completely ruined our appetite. The dishes themselves tasted awful, like they were thrown together with no care at all. Honestly, the whole experience made us feel like we were being served leftovers for free rather than paying customers.

I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you enjoy bad service, long waits, and disappointing food. Definitely not coming back.

Ordered pho delivery from Pho 888, and the quality was decent considering it was takeout — I appreciated the variety of meat included in the dish, and the broth’s flavor was comforting. However, the Bi Cuon (shredded pork skin spring roll) was a bit disappointing as there was barely any pork skin in the wrap.
