A hidden gem. We were immediately welcomed in, led to our seats, and given the good Chicago water! I ordered the Pad See-ew, and it was absolutely delicious. The best plate of noodles I’ve had in a long time, and it got better with every bite. And, even after having the full plate, I don’t feel that disgustingly full! A must visit for any foodie.

“Really great, flavorful, authentic Thai food.”

Really great, flavorful, authentic Thai food. They also have a spice challenge where you can get your meal for free. They are able to make it as spicy as you request!

“I audibly moaned when I took my first bite of their spicy catfish.”

I audibly moaned when I took my first bite of their spicy catfish. Also knowing there’s a place I can get a DELICIOUS Thai iced tea for $2.50 is dangerous. New favorite Thai in Chicago 💚💚

“Simply AMAZING!!”

Simply AMAZING!!! The food was phenomenal. Like I’m saying I keep imagining the taste hours late! I got the pad Thai, some shrimp apps, and crab Rangoon. Everything was spot on! Must try!! Best Thai food I have ever had!!!! It’s a cozy atmosphere too and the service is nice.

“Quiet hole in the wall place.”

Quiet hole in the wall place. Worth every penny and definitely coming back. Satay chicken was perfect, tender and juicy and the sauce on the side is essentially peanut butter with coconut milk. The Nong Thong were fried extra crispy and are really hot when served, definitely wait a minute before grabbing and it comes with sweet chilli sauce, but the sweet chilli sauce is the stuff you can get at the store. Their salad has a nice light vinaigrette on it. Their Tom Yum soup is sour, threw us off initially and if you get it medium heat, it's really spicy and the spice coats everything. The pineapple fried rice is a really large serving, almost seems likes it's supposed to be shared by the table. Again, medium heat is pretty spicy, but on the pineapple fried rice it's a slow build and it lingers for a long time. That being said, the spice is only in the mouth and doesn't burn the stomach

“The great reviews got my attention, but Pho’s exceeded my expectations!”

The great reviews got my attention, but Pho’s exceeded my expectations!! I would recommend the Pad Kee Mao, even just mild is very spicy!! The Thai tea was delicious as well.

“Such a cute little spot.”

Such a cute little spot. Love supporting small businesses and every time I order here it’s so quick and communication is amazing from staff if it’s orders aren’t done by when you arrive. I’ve had the pad Thai, it’s so delicious and I love it so much. Would recommend to anyone very authentic and delicious.

“Pictured: Thom Kha soup was phenomenal.”

Pictured: Thom Kha soup was phenomenal! Medium spice. a delicious and bright soup, fresh and well-made. Basil Fried Rice w/Tofu (no egg. to make vegan) Spice level 5- definitely had heat to it, super good. Pad Phed w/ imitation meat. The vegan “meat” was actually very tasty- sort of similar to tofu but definitely not tofu, it was it’s own thing and it was super delicious!! We got this as Medium spice and it had a nice level of heat. Overall, Amazing thai food!! Vegan options are delicious! No frills hole-in-the-wall, great food, fair pricing. Love this place, it’s our new go-to thai place.

“Pho's is a great Thai dive in Lakeview.”

Pho's is a great Thai dive in Lakeview. I've been there at both lunch and dinner time and tried many different meals. One time I got the higher level of hotness in my food and my mouth was on fire. The place is even BYOB which makes the reasonable prices even better.

“Get take out or delivery a couple times a month and everything is so good!”

Get take out or delivery a couple times a month and everything is so good!! Highly recommend the beef pad see ew - but the panang curry is also amazing. It’s got heat so I always get the mild plus and it’s perfect!
