“Craving pho on a rough day, and this place hit the spot.”

Craving pho on a rough day, and this place hit the spot. It is on a side street, and I didn't even know it was here until Google directed me to it. The broth was so flavorful and comforting, the noodles were generous and not at all soggy, and the meat was tender and delicious. Plus, they had a lime wedge on the bean sprout, basil, jalapeno garnish plate. Service was excellent as well, I felt like I was a guest of the family. I was there alone and reading, but they made sure I was comfortable and that I enjoyed my meal. For such a tiny place, they have a huge heart. Thank you!

“Here’s what you need to know: Incredible food and service.”

Here’s what you need to know: Incredible food and service. Great flavor profile construction with restraint and finesse - from the simple things like the Vietnamese coffee and spring rolls to more complex things like marinated pork chops and lemongrass beef bahn mi (this one was in my top sandwiches of all time) - it’s all really, really good. Fresh basil and sprouts with the pho were so fresh. Amazing service from Lexi Cafe sua/ Vietnamese coffee - 5/5 strong and not too sweet. Pork spring rolls - 5/5 - cooked to order with excellent pork stuffing Bahn Mi pork - 6/5 :) one of the best sandwiches ever Shrimp pork summer rolls - 3/5 Pho beef broth - 4/5 Pork chop rice dish with chinese sausage - 4/5 Plain pho with chicken broth - 4/5 Service was awesome. Great explanations and recommendations from Lexi and always available to us, with warmth. Lexi even packed all our food for us, which is very atypical for a casual restaurant where you typically get the boxes placed on the table. We will absolutely repeat and request Ni’s kitchen and highly recommend it.

“I got beef pho takeout.”

I got beef pho takeout. The broth is delicious, but the beef is not. It’s chewy and fatty. Disappointing after reading all the great reviews.

“Authentic pho here.”

Authentic pho here! My daughter who is a very picky eater really enjoyed her pho too! I also tried the Vietnamese hot coffee for the first time and it was very good and strong.

“Everyone needs a clutch restaurant.”

Everyone needs a clutch restaurant. The place that always comes through. It's convenient, consistent, and, most of all, incredibly good. I've had many clutch spots over the years as I moved around, but it took me a minute to find my North Shore go-to. But here I am, a local for half a year now, and my go-to is Ni's, 100%. Lisa, the owner extraordinaire, is friendly, engaging, and an absolute customer service star. Not to mention a formidable chef. She has an obvious passion for food and its cultural history, and I love talking with her about it. The whole crew at Ni's is awesome and always happy to chat or handle any dish alterations. They clearly care about their clientele, and it's one of the things that keeps me coming back. My "must have" is the veggie summer rolls. I get them every time. Really, really good. And after living in the Vietnamese neighborhood of San Francisco for a few years, eating out almost daily, I've had my fair share of summer rolls. The produce at Ni's is always fresh, and I love how they cleverly use jicama for crunch. The rolls come with peanut sauce, but Ni's makes a delicious vegan fish sauce in-house that I go with almost every time. Banh Mi, Veggie Pho, Crispy Tofu, Fried Rice, I've had everything on the menu that is vegan or can be made so, and I'll gladly order them all again and again. This is not an all-vegan restaurant by any stretch (fear not, meat eaters), but Lisa goes out of her way to have options, and I've never been anything but satisfied. Even my kindergartner is into the veggie Pho broth and summer rolls, and he's not the easiest to please. Wilmette is lucky to have Ni's. I hope everyone knows that. They're tucked around the corner from the busier area of Central Ave and Wilmette Ave, and I've been doing my best to spread the word. "You've never been to Ni's?! Get the hell outta here.." So, if you didn't know, now you do. You're welcome.

“Absolutely incredible.”

Absolutely incredible! This is my favorite place. I've brought my whole family and they've all been blown away. The food is excellent, so original. Today the service was beyond great. Asia served us with a big smile and was incredibly kind, even though she was very busy. She was attentive and friendly the whole time. I love this place. Gracias 😊😊

“This place is the real deal.”

This place is the real deal! Best pho I’ve had in a while and by FAR the best bahn mi I’ve ever had... and I’ve had a bunch. You gotta check this spot out.
