“So happy I stumbled upon this place! I ended up coming here two separate times during a weekend trip because I liked it so much. The first time I got the classic banh mi and an oolong milk tea. The banh mi had the perfect ratio of toppings and I had no complaints with it. The milk tea was a little sweet for my taste, so next time I think I would ask for less sugar. The second time I came I tried the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken skewers. The fish sauce is garlicky and spicy and everything tasted fresh. They also have sugarcane juice which was delicious. The service here is excellent and the staff is so friendly! Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to try more of their menu.”
“Honestly pretty fire. Would recommend the bun cha or the banh mi. Pho was alright, just not my preference. The nuoc Mia was good but def not fresh as they advertised.”
“This place is special to me because it’s one of the few places in Chicago, from my experience, that has sugarcane juice. I think they add some lemon to it. I’m a big fan, it’s balanced and refreshing this way. Their lemongrass chicken bahn mi is so delicious too. The cherry on top is the great service I get every time I come here. They serve the food to your table and the lady at the cash register is always nice.”
“This is authentic Vietnamese food here and the price is average! Great spring roll....Seafood noodle, banh mi, and meat ball pho....if u want authentic Viet Food...This is the place!!!!!”
“The pho at this place is pretty good, and the staff are very friendly. At first, I assumed their spring rolls would be fried like at most places, but what they brought out was fresh and not fried, which I would usually call a summer roll. They explained that in their restaurant, the fried version is called an egg roll. They were also kind enough to let me return it and gave me a refund so I could switch to the egg roll instead. 這家店的pho還不錯。員工也很友善。一開始我以為他們像其他店一樣Spring Roll是Fried的，結果他們上來的是uncooked的，在我認知中是Summer Roll，他們才解釋說炸的在他們店是Egg roll，他們還很友善的給我Return and refund改成egg roll”
“Great place with ample seating upstairs, friendly service and very good pho, so needed in the cold weather”
“Super authentic and tasty Vietnamese food for an affordable price. Wonderful and kind staff as well as amazing food and drink options. The downtown city area needs more places like these!”
“We tried the summer rolls and the pho, both of which I’d reccomend. The drinks were on the sweeter side and the pho is good (nothing crazy) but they are both good options!”
“Ordered the signature banh mi and mango milk tea. Food was delicious and the staff were super friendly.”
