“Amazing food and great service! Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and authentic. The crispy noodles were my favorite, and the pho and the mussels were both excellent. Generous portions, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back! 😋”
“I’ve tried Vietnamese coffees all over the city and this is hands down the best I’ve ever tried. Must go”
“excellent CHICKEN PHO in the most unique space! Vaulted ceilings, stained glass, cozy bar with plush seating – rich broth, tender chicken, springy noodles, and infused brandies that steal the show. Too bad my wife doesn’t drink; this place looks like a total blast! Only thing missing: beers on tap. Perfect event venue. Can’t wait to bring my vegan wife back for the plant-powered options.”
“TOP 5 Restaurant in Chicago. Sunset is delicious! The Pho is incredible, we usually go with the rare angus beef which absorbs all the flavors from the best broth. The combination stir fry is so hearty with so much beef, chicken and shrimp. Make sure to get the Cevapcici spring rolls with the sauce! The service is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We love coming here whenever we can, winter and summer.”
“If you are looking for phenomenal, deeply comforting pho in a fantastic setting, Sunset Phở Caffe is an absolute must-visit. The standout is undoubtedly the broth—it is incredibly rich, perfectly layered, aromatic, and clearly simmered with a lot of care. Every ingredient, from the tender cuts of meat to the crisp, fresh herbs, is top-tier. Beyond the exceptional food, the casual eatery and bar setup brings a wonderfully convivial, high-energy vibe that sets it apart from your typical noodle shop. The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the entire dining experience seamless. Easily a 5-star spot that I’ll be returning to again and again!”

“All the food was delicious and already wanting to go back for the chicken ginger salad.”
“I loved my experience at Sunset Pho. I’m a big fan of a good pho, and this one was really delicious. The broth had amazing flavor, the noodles were great, and the portion of meat was very generous. The place is also super cute, and the location is perfect, there’s so much to explore just walking around that street, which makes it a great spot for a weekend outing. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!”
