“Love this Vietnamese restaurant in Carol Stream (NW Chicago Suburb).”

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!

“This place is tucked away is some tiny strip mall well off any main drag, but dont pass this place up.”

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!!!

Excited to see they had Bo La Lot on the menu and the taste didn't disappoint! The Banh Mi Dac Biet with the fried egg was a nice surprise touch. The restaurant was really clean and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend and we are definitely stopping by next time we are in town. Bonus: Wednesday and Thursday is 20% off entire order!

“We tried this spot for the first time, and it hit the spot.”

We tried this spot for the first time, and it hit the spot! The service was quick and the owner was very accommodating. As for the food, not only were they served almost right away, but everything we had was delicious! We had the shrimp & pork spring rolls and fried soft-shell crabs—both must haves! I had the special combo pho for my entrée and I tore that UP! Their milk tea drinks were also delectable and just the right sweetness. We can’t wait to come back soon and try other dishes!

“The food was all so fresh and flavorful, most authentic Vietnamese food I’ve had.”

The food was all so fresh and flavorful, most authentic Vietnamese food I’ve had. Everything is so clean and pure, even the fried food felt light. We ordered the shrimp egg rolls to start, they were perfectly crispy and the filling had the perfect amount of peppercorns to add another layer of flavor and texture. The Pho broth was perfectly made, I was able to appreciate the pure and flavorful ingredients down to the bottom of the bowl, which I feel is very rare with most pho I’ve had other places. The shrimp ban mi was so fresh. Definitely recommend. (Also ask for the chili oil! It has garlic, lemon grass & ginger really goes so well with pretty much everything)

“My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month- If not more.”

My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month- If not more. It’s a very cute, clean family owned restaurant with very fast service. The pho here is amazing. The broth is especially delicious, and of course you also get plenty of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos, and lime. They make a homemade spicy chilli sauce which is tasty!! The Prices are very reasonable - you get a lot. highly recommend this place!

“Our appetizer, the Grilled Chili Oil Cuttlefish, was tender and perfectly seasoned.”

Our appetizer, the Grilled Chili Oil Cuttlefish, was tender and perfectly seasoned. The Grilled Beef Wrap in Betel Leaf was as authentic as it gets, with rice paper and fresh ingredients to wrap and dip in their fish sauce. I had not seen Sizzling Ribeye Steak, Eggs and Viet Sausage on a Vietnamese menu before, but it’s supposed to be a popular breakfast dish in Vietnam. It came with tasty bread to pair with it. The service here was excellent! When we asked about the menu, the waitress said everything was delicious. The manager, overhearing this, gently reminded her that preferences vary and then explained the dishes in detail. The owner mentioned that everything's made to order, which was surprising given how fast the food came out. He also said that no MSG is used, which was also surprising since the flavors were mouthwatering. The location is a bit out of the way from downtown Chicago, but worth the trip!
