“Tried Bún Bò Huế for the first time.”

Tried Bún Bò Huế for the first time. The dish had a comforting, homemade feel to it. I wasn’t aware it traditionally comes with blood curds, and while authentic, I didn’t personally enjoy the taste or texture. I also wished the broth was spicier. That said, the portion sizes were generous and the service was very pleasant. We also ordered the crab rangoon, which was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of filling.

“Ordered a combination Pho, BBH, and egg rolls.”

Ordered a combination Pho, BBH, and egg rolls. The restaurant was nice and spacious. Staff was quick and very nice. Food took about 15 minutes to come out. The pho was very light, earthy from the spices, and fresh. I just wish they gave a little more protein but for the price was fair. The BBH was stacked with protein. I would come back.

“We visited during Lunar New Year and each of us had incredibly delicious dishes.”

We visited during Lunar New Year and each of us had incredibly delicious dishes. The staff was super quick and the food warming and flavorful. I also had forgotten to take my purse with me when we left the place and only noticed a couple days later. The staff had collected it for me and waited for my phone call, not looking through my stuff. When I called to ask them if they found a purse they asked me to come by to identify myself, which I am so happy about. I was so relieved to have it back and everyone was so nice. What a special place!!! Thank you!

“Tried their Bun Bo Hue and I was not disappointed.”

Tried their Bun Bo Hue and I was not disappointed! It was definitely new to me coming from a Mexican/Puerto Rican background, however while eating it during a Chicago winter day I felt so happy and was reminded of eating my grandmas pozole on a cold day. Will definitely come back and try more dishes! Also they give a generous portion so I was able to enjoy leftovers at home. It tasted even better because I was able to eat it without anyone watching or hearing me moan out loud at how much I was enjoying it. Also at home I learned a fork works wonders.

“I love to try new restaurants and this is the must-return one.”

I love to try new restaurants and this is the must-return one. We and Tom yum, penang curry, and the crispy noodle. All were tasty. It's hard to beat the flavor, portion, and price in the chicago area. It's a hidden gem.

“No.12 and No.26。It's a big bowl.”

No.12 and No.26。It's a big bowl. It's delicious. I like my choice of No. 26, which has shrimp kebabs and sliced beef, and lots of vegetables, and the noodles taste vermicelli and refreshing. With sauce, the taste is really great, sweet and sour, and it is comfortable to eat in summer. The noodle soup tastes great, too.
