“Some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. I have been coming to this establishment for over 25 years and their spring (summer) rolls, and Pho are outstanding. I live in Oak Park but used to live in Uptown, and still travel here for the food. I've tried summer olls at other places, but here they are filled and rolled perfectly and I have never come across a dipping sauce even remotely close to its ingredients and flavor.”

“Their food is good, but their smoothie is a bit too sweet for me.”

“I finally had bun bo hue and I am impressed! Definitely flavorful and rich - I’ll be back here for sure!”

“Truly excellent Vietnamese food! I got the Bun Bo Hue which I feel like was everything I wanted and more. It had such tender beef, a spicy and sour broth, and amazing fish cakes too. Honestly was a good reminder that solid Asian food does exist in Chicago - you just have to go out of your way for it at times. Also liked that it was attached to an Asian supermarket - fun vibes! Super reasonably priced too - came out to be less than $20 per person after tax and tip for a super filling meal.”

“favorite vietnamese spot in chicago!! i’ve been going here for years with my family. love their pho, egg/spring rolls, and lemongrass porkchop (best porkchop i’ve ever had!!). very cozy vibe since they’re family-owned 💗”

“This restaurant serves really delicious noodles with a wide variety of menu options to choose from. The staff are friendly and provide great service. There are also plenty of tasty appetizers to enjoy, and the prices are very affordable. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent food, quick and warm service, very well priced. 5/5 meal!”

“We just stopped in to get boba smoothies taste great and smelled amazing definitely stopping in to eat next time !”

“Hard-ish to find attached to an Asian market in a strip mall. Food was really good, well made, flavourful & good value. People were friendly and genuine. Recommend if you’re in the area.”

“All dish are excellent despite not so great surrounding. However, it's not dangerous.”

“Got off a 5 hour Amtrak trip and was craving some Phó and man I’m so full. The wait was non existent the time we went around (10AM) and the workers are very friendly and the food came in 5 minutes and it was steaming hot and it was delicious!”
