The Pho dac biet was incredible. I heard about this place online and had to check it out. It was very flavorful and the portion... sizes for the meat was 12/10! I would come back to Illinois for this! Definitely recommend trying if you are in the area! Read more
I love their soup here. Try it! Edit: We ordered again the Special noodle beef soup, my husband's fave. I wanted to get the... chicken we ordered last time but I forgot what it was. So we got the lemon grass chicken with bones (real good) also had thefried crispy chicken wing. Forgot to take a photo coz we ate it right away. ???? Read more
Pho can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but not a lot of restaurants open earlier than 10 or 11 am. Pho nam lua opens... at 9 am so I was able to get a delicious, fresh and hot bowl of pho to warm up my belly. The pho broth was light, sweet andclean but still had the umami/deep rich flavor from the slowly cooked beef bones. I got the pho dac biet #10 which came with anassortment of meats, including a tender ox tail! My partner got rice platter #51 which had grilled pork chop, Chinese sausage,over hard fried egg, steamed rice, a little dish of fish sauce and a side of canh/clear broth. Both our dishes were thequintessential Vietnamese breakfast and of course we enjoyed them with cafe sua da or Vietnamese iced coffee as well. It was theperfect breakfast! 10/10 Read more
Cute place. Very cozy. Staff is very efficient and attentive. We had the Super Bowl, lemongrass chicken and vietnamese iced... coffee. It was good, lots noodles but, unfortunately my wife did not taste the lemongrass. Will try something different nexttime. Priced a tad higher usual. Will come back for another try. Read more
I?ve going here since I was a kid & I always come back! The food is very good and the flavor is consistent. My three favs are... the grilled pork with vermicelli noodles, the combination fried rice, and the pho special! Read more
I'm stuffed. Everything was so delicious I absolutely am coming back. We got some egg rolls, #10 which was the combination pho... and we also got #58/#59 which was a fried noodle combination. Server and host were all so nice and welcoming. Read more
My family and I have been coming for years but recently the experience left much to be desired. We arrived lunch time during... full house which was exciting for us to see. We sat down only to be left alone for 12 minutes waiting for a waitress or waiterto come take our order. Even the table who came after us ended up ordering and then receiving their food before us. When wereceived our first dish the spring rolls, they looked tasty but was not filled with much of anything as we expected herbs andsuch. The wrapper was also tough seemingly left in the fridge. Our Pho came out and we were happy to see the quantity of foodeven though it was a small. The broth itself was much sweeter than what we normally experienced. The tendons were tough andborderline inedible. Everything else was fine. We did enjoy the texture of the noodles because in other Viet restaurants, thenoodles are usually overcooked. The last dish that came out was the water spinach. The first few bites were fine but after thedish cooled, you could taste the sweetness in the sauce and we could barely eat half of it. Price wise, it was okay with eachbowl of noodles costing only $12 before tax. Spring rolls only 4.50, but the veggies were $15! Remember to go up to the cashierto pay because they won?t come to your table. In addition to that, when we attempted to pay, we were almost overcharged by $30.Luckily I checked the machine before tapping my card. Also, be aware of the tipping. They have buttons and one is even set at30%. If they had come over and asked how the food was or even bothered to offer water I would have considered. Trulydisappointed from our most recent experience and hope they get it together because we have had some nice times at thislocation. Grade : B- Read more
