“We ordered the Lagman (Beef) - Tomato ($18) with fresh noodles, beef, and vegetables. The flavors were delicious, and the beef was tender. We also ordered the Large Pho Bo ($16.99) with rice noodles, beef, onions, and cilantro. After the pho arrived, we decided to switch the noodles and ordered the Fried Lagman (Beef) ($18) instead—and we're so glad we did! The Fried Lagman was the star of the meal. The noodles were perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and paired wonderfully with the tender beef and vegetables. It was hands down our favorite dish. The fresh herbs, bean sprouts, jalapeños, lime, and chili paste served with the pho were a great touch, and the portions were generous. Great food, friendly service, and we'll definitely be coming back for the Fried Lagman! Highly recommend it if you're trying the menu for the first time.”
“My friend wanted pho so we came here I was so pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of central Asian dishes on the menu!! Dont sleep on the lagman. It was so rich and filling. I bet eating this on the steppe would go crazy. The guy working there was really nice too. Definitely gonna come back for some plov”
“We had an excellent food and excellent service. Azi was super helpful. My recommendations.”
“Food was good I didn’t get a chance to take a pic! Would recommend 10/10”
“I’ve been trying to find a good pho spot for a while, and randomly came across this place on the side of the street. I’m so glad I did, I haven’t gone anywhere else since. Their phobo is made with real care, and you can taste it in the rich, flavorful broth. Even the tea stood out, they use actual herbs instead of just tea bags. I went back and tried their fruit tea too, and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend if you’ve been craving good pho!”
“Found this gem while visiting Chicago. We ordered a bowl of pho, Philadelphia rolls and shaking beef. It was so good we ended up ordering another bowl and another Philadelphia roll. The sauce that comes with the pho was absolutely amazing. Gave the soup such an amazing flavor!”
“The best!! I ate the dumplings, my brother got the shrimp dish and his fiance got the mini pho. It was literally one of the most delicious meal I’ve ever had. I will be back inShaAllah. I was worried about finding a place to pray but was pleasantly surprised to see that they also have an area for salah:)”
“Finally found Halal Pho! The broth was clear and really tasty. If you like it spicy, I recommend adding fresh chili or jalapeño instead of chili oil. Service was quick and our food came out fast.”
“Finally a halal pho spot. Taste, quality, quantity - amazing! Great hospitality from the staff. Recommending it to all my friends! Hope your business booms, good luck!”
“Great place! The food is very tasty and the portions are big and filling. Definitely worth it, you won’t leave hungry. Highly recommend this restaurant!”
“Found this place on a whim! I’m so glad I did. It was very good and the pho broth was delicious. I enjoyed the sushi and fried rice as well. The service and hospitality were amazing, and everyone was so attentive. We felt very welcomed and taken care of! To really shine, here are a few ideas: Could you double-check the rice for the cold rolls? The salmon avocado roll had a bit of a hard texture. Also, offering sriracha mayo with the sushi would be great. Lastly, the rice noodles in the pho could use a bit more cooking time.”
