“V1 Grilled Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaf The beef was dense, juicy, and packed with flavor, with a nice char from the grill that complemented the earthy aroma of the betel leaf. What stood out most was the slight tinge of spice—it wasn't overpowering, but just enough to add another layer of flavor and keep each bite interesting. The dish was served with fresh herbs, rice noodles, and a dipping sauce that tied everything together perfectly. Wrapping everything together created a great balance of textures and flavors, from the savory beef to the crisp vegetables and fresh herbs. I was transported back to Saigon....take me away”
“I have been here several times, I would say it’s one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I can find in this area. It’s spacious, clean. They have a whole variety of dishes to choose from. I would say it has some of the best pho and vermicelli in Chicago western suburb. It’s farther from my home than some other Vietnamese restaurants, but I’m willing to drive more to dine here. Also the restrooms are CLEAN!”
“Don't let the seafood boil throw you off lol, easily the best vietnamese food we've had in Chicagoland. Its the little things, like pickled veg with the beansprouts and basil, housemade lemongrass chili oil, the Pho and Bo Ne 🔥. Will definitely be making it on the rotation!”
“Amazing food and service!!!!The people there were so nice!!!”
“This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Illinois! Their food (NOT just pho) is amazing and delicious! We ordered many different kinds of food but they were so good we finished them all before taking photos.. It took us 50 minutes to get here but we will definitely come back soon!!! 👍😁👏 This place NEVER disappoints me! We love here!”
“Love this Vietnamese restaurant in Carol Stream (NW Chicago Suburb). I’ve tried their vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls as well as their combination Pho. Both very good. Make sure you check their daily specials as they are a really good deal. Friendly and quick service. Easy parking. Highly recommended!”
“Great taste and flavor, I will give this place a 5 star and will come back..”
“This place is tucked away is some tiny strip mall well off any main drag, but dont pass this place up. Its absolutely worth a visit. Place is bright and open, clean and inviting. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. Started with 2 types of spring rolls (shrimp and shrimp & porkbelly) which was very tasty and ample peanut dipping sauce. I didnt get a lot of the porkbelly taste but would prefer just all shrimp. Ordered their fried wings (3 drummettes and 3 flats) which though small was nicely fried to a crunch but not greasy. Very tasty in chili pepper lemongrass sauce. Their bahn mi ribeye steak was some of the best I have tried. They put enough meat and toppings that you can taste all the flavors on a soft yet crisp french style baguette. Lastly, their pho soup with noodles, ribeye, shrimp and boiled egg was excellent!! Their broth was some of the tastiest I have had and really can taste the star anise. Icing on the cake?? 20% off on Wednesdays!!! Boo-yah!!!”
“Came here with some co workers during our 1 hour lunch. We were able to come in ,order, eat and be out within the same hour. The restaurant was very clean and chic . Food was delicious and they had great portions. Highly recommend.”
“Hidden gem, very authentic and one of the best pho that I ever tasted. They also have other dishes that I wanted to try, definitely a place that I would come back and recommend to others when you are in this part of the burbs. Oh, try their homemade chili paste!”
“Great food and outstanding service! Loved their Pho. I got combination Pho.”
