“stopped by this place on my way home from Walmart and decided to try the rice plate. It was delicious, and the soup that came with it was very flavorful. The service was great, and the meal was satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the pho”
“Came here after a bike ride starving and this really hit the spot. They welcomed us with pandan flavored iced water, which was such a nice touch. We ordered pho, bún bò Huế, egg rolls, Vietnamese coffee, and the three color dessert and everything was delicious. The food came out really fast even though we came around 3pm, which we appreciated. I also loved all the condiments on the table. Besides sriracha and hoisin, they had garlic vinegar, chili sauce, and chili fish sauce ready to go. The bún bò Huế came with satế on the side, and the pho even had green onion ends in the broth, which felt like such a small but authentic detail. You can tell they really care about doing Vietnamese food right. They also have free parking on the side of the restaurant, which makes stopping in really easy. Will definitely be back.”
“Nice little hidden gem in the burbs. Got the duck bamboo noodle soup and I must say it’s the best one I’ve had in Chicago. If you like duck and pho you gotta give this a try.”
“Broth was delicious and super flavorful. The coffee was perfect amount of sweetness and coffee taste.”
“First time trying pho, was good enough for me, I highly recommend this place”
“As a Viet, let me tell y’all — RUN, don’t walk to this place. I’m super picky when it comes to PHO, and it’s honestly hard to find truly authentic pho in the U.S… but this spot? They nailed the exact flavor I’ve been craving for years. The broth tastes rich, comforting, and legit, just like Vietnam The crispy fried chicken with rice is also 🔥 perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and paired so well with the fried rice. Honestly, everything I’ve tried so far has hit the spot. It’s a small, cozy family-run place, and the owners and staff are friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. Only one tiny thing — I was expecting grilled pork chops for the broken rice, but it turned out to be pan-fried pork instead. Not bad, just not what I had in mind Overall, still worth it”
“First time visit for lunch on Saturday - very clean and efficient layout for dining. Menu has nice balance of pho and entrees. Super good food - and really friendly service. Will return and recommend to others. Take a friend!”
“Ordered a combination pho on a freezing day. Flavors are soothing and flavorful without being too heavy. The garlic vinegar on the side adds a nice garlicky punch to cut through the other flavors. One bowl of pho is enough to just satiate 2 people. It’s a nice little store.”
“I really enjoyed my meal at iPhở. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well presented. I ordered the crispy chicken with egg and noodles, and everything was cooked just right—the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the noodles were perfectly seasoned. The pickled vegetables added a nice balance, and the dipping sauce tied everything together. Portions were generous, and the overall meal felt comforting and authentic. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Definitely a great spot for Vietnamese food if you’re in the Lincolnwood area. I’ll be coming back to try more dishes.”
“Very authentic Vietnamese food. Their pho dac biet hit the spot in this cold weather. Their seafood eggroll is also must try! Definitely a great spot in the area.”
