Pho lime — Elmhurst vietnamese that sets the standard. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. Traditional preparation with honest flavors. "The sandwich was perfectly portioned and has sweet, spicy, and crunchy notes" — Constance Brimage [$]

“Extremely great and courteous Service and the food is the freshest food I’ve ever tasted in this genre. Kudos.best Banh Mi ever.”

“The broken rice platter with pork, egg, and their home made fish sauce is my favorite broken rice dish ive had. Reminds me of my hometown. If you grew up eating this, it's a must to try it here. If you've never had this dish, this is a good spot to try it for the first time. If you take a little of everything in one spoon full bite, the flavor is seriously really good. And its consistent everytime. The sauce is 👌”

“Bun bo hue (pho) -The meat is tender! -The only time I enjoyed tendon. It melts in your mouth -broth is moderately spicy. Crab Rangoon is full. Banh mi is big! A sweet mayo type sauce inside. Combo deal to try pho and sandwich with Thai iced tea.”
