Phodega — among the best chinese in Noble Square. Order the Viet Dip Sandwich. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. "The broth is rich and aromatic, and the fresh ingredients make each bowl comforting and satisfying" — J G

The chicken & rice dishes used to come with flavored rice, but it looks like this is no longer the case.

“They blend it so well and made it authentic to who they were growing up and who they are today”
“Our neighborhood pho spot.”
Our neighborhood pho spot. This place has gotten me thru good times and bad. I used to go to their old location on Ashland and am so happy they are thriving on Division. The service at Phodega is unreal, it is truly a gem these days to have authentic kindness and genuinely considerate customer service. My husband is allergic to cilantro and they never forget the modification, a lot of places refuse to modify. The owner is always circling around making sure everything is running smoothly. Had to leave a review to say that if you support local business with your dollar then Phodega deserves every penny. And the food is bomb! They don’t hold back on the herbs in the pho (NECESSARY) and they have incredible appetizers. I always get extra noodles and extra lime!

“Look, the pho is good.”
Look, the pho is good. Grew up eating pho, it’s good here. You know what I didn’t grow up eating? That Hainan Chicken! ITS BUSSIN. Atmosphere wise, reminds me of a cookout with the cousins. Throwback music. Super chill. That “wassup bro?” “Aye you good?” vibe. Everything except the henny being passed around (iykyk). Anyways, pho-gettabout passing on phodega. It’s good.

“I’ve been on a full-on quest for pho that would make me drop my chopsticks and this is it.”
I’ve been on a full-on quest for pho that would make me drop my chopsticks and this is it. A deep, rich broth that asks you to slow down, noodles with just the right bite, and a warmth that settles in and stays. The room hums effortlessly steam rising, bowls moving fast, staff laughing as they work. There’s an ease to the place, a sense that everyone belongs there. I was surrounded by people, but once the bowl hit the table, the world narrowed. Just me, the pho, and the rare pleasure of being exactly where I was supposed to be.

“I just LOVED when the (I'm gonna assume was the owner) said good morning!”
I just LOVED when the (I'm gonna assume was the owner) said good morning!! Those couple of seconds gave me such relief from the anxiety of trying a new place. Service was quick, food came out fairly quickly due to lunch hour and the food. OMG the food, that sandwich and dip was amazing 🤩. Bit salty but I like it that way and to me that's savory but some people might be on the saltier side. And to finish my adventure I handed the plate to the same gentleman that greet me earlier and I just had to let him know that the food was amazing at which he replied with thank you, hope you come back soon. Happy holidays! ❤️ I absolutely will Sr.

“One of the best Pho is Chicago and suburbs.”
One of the best Pho is Chicago and suburbs! We had the chicken noodle pho and it was very savory, right temperature and great quantity of chicken thigh, veggies and broth. It was quick and we enjoyed it a lot. We got chilli oil on side and added lot more siracha

“Highly recommend.”
Highly recommend. I had already taken a few bites when I decided to take a picture so there was 3 or 4 more pieces of chicken on the plate than this. Both the boiled and fried chicken were flavorful on their own but the 3 sauces that I believe were ginger, soy and some type of tangy spice added greatly to the already delicious meal. Even the clear broth soup was amazing. All the staff was really nice and helpful. The music was a little loud inside for me but if I had sat outside or I hadn't just woken up I would not have minded. The decor was fun and well themed.

“Delicious! There's items on this menu is love and others that are great, and then good. Like most...”
Delicious! There's items on this menu is love and others that are great, and then good. Like most places. Love the atmosphere, great location with friendly staff. It's kinda a little store on the inside with neat finds. When paying the bill we also picked up some Uber cookies. One of my fave things. The stand out dish tho... the chicken skins! I've never had anything to crispy and tasty. I wanted to take some home. The broths, or soups, are packed with flavor and they are hands down a winner. Can't go wrong. The beef dip they're semi-known for was just good. Chicago is a hard city to compare that. Id say skip that dip & do everything else. Especially dessert! And it's BYO! Gotta love that, makes it great for any occassion.
