The food here is still as good as I remember it the first time I had it 6 years ago. My fiancee and I had the house special pho and it was very good. The broth was perfect and savory paired with the jalapeño and basil. Our appetizers were also fresh and delicious. We had fresh rolls and the Vietnamese spring rolls, I highly recommend starting with these! So good! The sauces they serve with the appetizers make them even better. I had a mango smoothie with it all and it was wonderfully refreshing and flavorful. Our server was also amazing, she did a lovely job taking care of us. The atmosphere in the building is calm, comfortable, and homey. Thank you for having us, we will definitely be back again.

I’ve been going here since it was Saigon Cafe as a semi regular. Now with the new owners the atmosphere is totally different. Please turn the music back to jazz. They claim the new pho bowls aren’t smaller but I’m positive they are. If the recipe or price for size ever really changes I’m never coming back. This was my favorite place in every way and now it’s just going to ok atmosphere wise.

OMG the Pho! It’s the best I’ve had since visiting Hanoi a few years ago. My new fave spot in Kenosha ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was more than a meal — it was a journey into the soul of Vietnam, served with warmth, precision, and heart.
We ordered:
• Phở with Raw Beef Tenderloin
A deep, clear, and aromatic broth that tasted like hours of care and devotion.
The raw beef tenderloin gently cooked in the hot broth, accompanied by perfectly tender rice noodles, fresh bean sprouts, and thinly sliced onions.
The addition of Thai basil, lime, and jalapeño brought balance and elevation.
Easily one of the best Phở bowls we’ve ever had.
• Bún with Sugarcane Shrimp
A colorful, refreshing bowl — rice vermicelli, fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, pickled daikon, tomatoes, peanuts, and a crispy egg roll.
The sugarcane shrimp were tender, flavorful, and beautifully grilled.
The dish came alive with a perfect nuoc cham sauce: sweet, salty, tangy, and gently spicy.
Every bite felt like a loving embrace.
• Mango Bubble Tea with Tapioca Pearls
Creamy, refreshing, not overly sweet — exactly how it should be.
The tapioca pearls were just right: bouncy, tender, and satisfying.
A joyful and comforting finish to a divine meal.
Service was kind, the atmosphere calm and intimate, dishes generously portioned and artfully presented.
Clean tables, balanced flavors, no missteps — not a single flaw to report.

Rating: 5/5 (Truly deserves at least 4.8 stars)
We dined slowly, with deep appreciation and joy.
Every detail was perfect. Every bite, sacred.
This is a hidden gem — and we’ll return again and again.

This is 100% one of those little local hidden gems you MUST try. We were visiting family in town and even THEY hadn’t tried it but they were big fans right away. It looks run down on the outside but very spacious and beautiful on the inside.
Fantastic boba tea smoothies (taro always a good choice). Our family that joined us said it was THE BEST hot chai they’ve ever had. Super creamy, foamy, and perfectly spiced.
For entries I loved their HUGE banh mi cold cut (seriously never had a banh mi this large). My wife loved their Vietnamese coconut curry, which came in an adorable little kettle with rice and sprouts all separated for you to build yourself.
Overall definitely LARGE portions, great quality, and super friendly.

I had the House special Pho, with some Post stickers. The pot stickers were very meaty. Loved them! The Pho was decent. I think they used chicken broth because there is chicken also in the House Special Pho, I think I would have gone with the beef broth. Either way, it sat well on the cooler day. I look forward to trying their other dishes. Looks like they have a brisk carry out business as well. Service was scarce but adequate. The place could have been a little warmer, but was clean. I will be back.

I have had very good meals here and I have had bad meals. Today I picked up a beef and broccoli and had to wait for it to be made. I get the food and open it up and there is extremely hot center and cold outside. It seems like this is pre made and microwaved. Very unfortunate because I have been told it is all made fresh to order. This was an every Tuesday meal for my family but now after this we will bring our business elsewhere. Sad.

I had a tasty Peach smoothie that reminded me of an orange Julius! My sister enjoyed her chai and said it was one of the tastiest chai’s she has ever had.
And their curry? Amazing!!! Loved the service and atmosphere, too!

I can’t believe I haven’t tried this place sooner. The food and service were excellent. I love the vibe inside. It’s great for dining in or taking out. I love supporting locally owned, family businesses and definitely recommend trying this place! The shrimp fried rice, beef sticks, and raw beef tenderloin pho were fantastic!

I loved it, may be my new place for Chinese. I have gotten Pad Thai at many places but they never had sauce in it. This one had a mild sweet sauce, kind of like the one you put on egg rolls. The Rangoon looked overcooked but were actually delish that way and the rice was very tasty.
