Casual Vietnamese place with simple yet thoughtfully crafted offerings. This is a place to come when you want elevated street food or home cooking. Dishes here feature simple ingredients prepared well. We ordered the pork & shrimp wanton soup and the pork belly banh mi. The pork bone broth in the soup had a great warmth and roundness to the flavor thanks to its pepper. This is broth to warm your bones on a cold day. The pork's sweetness and shrimp's mild brine, in the wantons, gave the soup just a bit of heft as a meal. The banh mi balanced crisp and soft textures with the vegetables and crusty bread that complemented the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The veggies' pickling was mild in flavor, allowing the other ingredients to shine through. The offerings here come at a slight premium. The sandwich, in particular, was on the pricey side ($16), but the cut of meat easily justified the cost. And the ingredients are in good hands, in Mama Lam's kitchen, and it is easy to appreciate the care that goes into each meal. read more

Really enjoyed the Pho and crab fried rice! Excellent customer service, very friendly and solid little shop for dine in. The menu changes frequently but the main item, PHO, is always there. read more

What a cool take on Vietnamese food - a rotating menu that always features a couple of staples like Pho, spring rolls, and addictive shrimp chips, but always offer a couple of unique dishes, usually fusing other foods - like crab rangoon nachos, a beef sandwich dipped into Pho broth, bahn mi crostini, or my new personal fave - the cold noodle salad! Although the place is on the less traveled west side of C-U, it still seems popular with millennials and especially with Illini student athletes. The place is very clean, the owners seem eager to please and the food doesn't take long. We've now been twice on our jaunts through town and since we've missed the Rangoon nachos, we look forward to our next visit - hopefully the third time will be the charm! read more

Wow so tasty!! This is our new favorite pho place and we are always trying new ones! The pho is amazing! The broth is full of the delicious flavor flavors you would expect in a good pho broth and the meat is tender and tasty! The service was fast and friendly. We tried the veggie rolls which were hot and crispy and delicious. We also got some tasty drinks. My daughter and I got the Vietnamese coffee and my boyfriend got a tasty Soju mixed drink that I can't remember the name of now. The bathroom was clean, warm and smelled great. We will definitely be back... and soon. read more

83 Vietnamese Cuisine - Pho with sliced beef, brisket and meatballs - Vietnamese Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

After looking online at their menu and finding something I might like, a friend and I had dinner here. I order my food only to be told they no longer had crab rangoon because they change their menu "all the time". Sadly, they don't change their website. The service was fine, they delivered the food to the table and are great about getting you refills. There isn't much ambiance to be had and since it was busy it was noisy. read more

The broth hit the spot cuz it was so cold outside and i feel like it had very good beef flavor. I'm not too familiar with what traditional pho is like but this one didn't have bean sprouts or lime and had a stronger meat flavor. It was still very yummy. read more

We were visiting and just had to try out 83 Vietnamese Cuisine. It is located in a strip mall in Savoy. There's a good number of tables inside and a few small tables outside but it gets pretty busy on Friday evenings/weekends. You order at the counter and then seat yourself at a table of your choice. We had the spring rolls (pork, shrimp, lettuce, noodles, cucumber, and fresh herbs wrapped in rice paper. Served with a house blend hoisin sauce and topped with crushed peanuts) which had all fresh ingredients. This was followed by a chicken noodle salad bowl (lettuce, cucumbers, fresh herbs, and rice noodles topped with fried scallions and crushed peanuts). Our toddler gobbled it down and slathered her noodles with the fish sauce that came on the side. I had the duck noodle soup (rice noodles with roasted duck) while hubby had the pho (sliced beef, brisket and meatballs with rice noodles in a beef broth topped with thin sliced onions, mint, basil, cilantro, and green onions) with a beef rib. The broth for both of our noodle soups was super flavorful and rich. If you're ever in the area, check out 83 Vietnamese Cuisine-you won't be disappointed! read more

New location alert! 2502 VILLAGE GREEN PL CHAMPAIGN, IL 61822 So being from the SGV and a pho snob from LA, getting pho in rural Champaign Illinois isn't at the top of my list. I heard this about this place and had to try it! The egg rolls were probably the best I've had in Champaign- Urbana. Fresh ingredients and flash fried. With the lettuce wrap! 5/5 The spring rolls, these were special, cool wrapped tasty and crunchy goodness dipped in a magical made from scratch sauce with hand crushed peanuts. This peanut sauce is gold alone. 5/5 The pho, a hearty broth with just the right amount of onion, cilantro pepper and chili. The noodles were perfect consistency, each strand waiting to be consumed. I asked for brisket only ( I know what I like). 5/5 Tip: Go with ample time, it's made to order! Also, this Latina likes lime in my pho, ask for a lime! read more

There just isn't better pho to be had. You wouldn't guess that the best pho you'll have in your life would be in Champaign, IL, but it is. I live downtown Chicago but travel for work constantly and pho is a go to for me because most places are authentic. Doesn't matter, this is the best. Without being hyperbolic it's one of the best tasting meals you'll ever have. I don't know how the mom in the back does it but I hope she lives to be 200. read more

Incredible. The food. The staff and the service. All are top notch. The care and attention in what they do is so evident. The broth is light, yet deeply flavourful. The noodles are never over cooked. I love that they change their menu frequently and that they focus on a limited number of dishes done right ! This place is almost too good for Champaign. read more

83 Vietnamese Cuisine - My Birds nest noodles. The current special and absolutely delicious. The noodles were so crispy, yet not greasy. Another exceptional dish. - Vietnamese Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This is a new Vietnamese place in the area. It made me so excited since I haven't found any "solely Vietnamese" places in town. I love vermicelli on a good summer day. Their chicken vermicelli bowl really hit the spot. You can't try Vietnamese food without Vietnamese coffee, it complements the full experience really well. The server was very welcoming and nice. It's a small family run restaurant with a mom and two siblings. They have pretty quick services and check in on you to make sure you're enjoying your meal. Probably the best Vietnamese food I've had in Champaign thus far (that's saying something since I've been here for +9 years or so). I'm definitely making another trip back here soon. read more

We were on a way to Indianapolis and had a craving for Phó. We were happily surprised and really enjoyed the phó. Everything was tasty from the spring rolls to the pork buns. The phó came prepared with the basil, mint, and jalapeños which was good but we prefer to prepare our own. We will give this restaurant a 4.5. read more

Great food and very friendly staff! Appears to be family owned. By far the best Vietnamese food in Chambana area. I love the Pork belly Bowl and upgraded ramen. Everything is delicious. read more

Probably one of the top restaurants in the area imo. Their current menu is limited but it really is a strength here. I've tried every single item on the menu and it's difficult to find anything even remotely average. Everything is prepared with care and tastes even better. The dining area is pleasant with a flare of 80's nostalgia sprinkled around you in the form of arcade cabinets and 80's tv shows playing on the tubes. And the staff and owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet. This time around we ordered spring rolls, beef noodle salad bowl, Bahn mi sandwich and pho. The spring rolls were fresh and the peanut based sauce is the perfect compliment. I could order a few of these and have a completely satisfied meal. The beef noodle salad bowl is exactly as described. Refreshing with a wonderful combination of ingredients. I crave it just thinking about it. Top it off with an eggroll for more deliciousness. The bahn mi sandwich was equally great. The bread had the perfect crisp you expect from a bahn mi and the pork flavor is a treat for the taste buds. And finally the pho. I've tried pho at many other restaurants but this is just out of this world. I'm not sure how they do it but the broth is to die for. Combine that with the fresh ingredients and different cuts of beef and with the right touch of spiciness and you have the perfect pho. If all they served was this I'd still come back every week. Don't miss this absolute gem! read more

Good pho but way over priced and limited menu.mot much to chose from as far as different pho bowls

Great spring rolls and wonton dip. Super quick. Easy parking access for carry out. Will try the pho next time (not available for carry out.

Pho, bun Bo hue, and egg rolls were great. Service was good too. Would definitely recommend

"My second wife will have to be a Yelp savant like you," said my first husband, as we slurped some delicious pho in this lovely establishment. (He says that when I eventually croak, he might need to replace me with a harem. That's his way of saying he loves me!) I was impressed by the facial scanning software that instantly shifted the music to an elderly genre when we walked in. (I might be kidding about that part.) The nice young lady who waited on us had our food out in a jiffy. She was great to chat with! I'm not sure how crowded it is during a more normal eating time, because we were there mid-afternoon, and it was empty. The food was so tasty! Put down your phone and drive here now. Get the spring rolls and the pho. You're welcome! read more

This is definitely the best Vietnamese food in Central Illinois. Their menu is a nice change from the typical Vietnamese restaurants here. Different options and they said it changes so you can get different dishes! I got a roasted pork rice plate dish but they gave us a pho sample and it was like a home cooked meal from my childhood! Service was great! They were super friendly and welcoming to my family. read more

Had a great meal! All the food was really good and the PHO broth was amazing. Nice meeting you Wayne!

Surprised to find a PHO spot out in the Midwest but times are a changing in an unassuming strip mall we came along with the help of Yelp as always we ventured into the small clean spot with about 8 tables all very clean and chair seating for 4 each you walk up to the counter to order and pay for your selections and take a number and seat yourself the menu is not huge but it doesn't need to be there's a alcohol selection and soda fountain so choices for all we came for PHO but coming from Chicago and just having PHO I decided on the roasted pork noodles which was very flavorful and broth was very warming to my soul wifey had the Beef PHO and from last week in Chinatown PHO she was very impressed by the flavor of the bone broth and enjoyed it very much as I we did have egg rolls ordered also but no time for pictures as we were very famished but next time it'll be taken along with some other choices I was eyeing like the duck breast noodle soup Give it a try and enjoy the flavors read more

While the food was good, the experience was very much like going to Arby's. You go to the counter to order, pick out your drink at a cooler, get your own silverware and napkins in a third location, then pick out your table. read more

I grew up eating pho where there's a huge Vietnamese community. The broth for their pho here is really good and I can tell they put a lot of effort into it. This is where they really shine so I highly recommend it. It truly warms you up from the inside on a cold day or whenever you're wanting some comforting hot soup! The pork baos was decent, had a lot of flavor, though very small for the price. My husband enjoyed their pork rice plate. The owner is very friendly and the service is great. I just wish they would provide the option of adding sprouts to your bowl of Pho. It would also be nice to have sriracha and hoisin sauce at each table instead of having to squirt some in a little plastic container to bring to your table. Keep in mind that our standards for Vietnamese food is very high so I think the average person living in Champaign will absolutely love the food here. (Don't mean to sound like a snob but it is what it is lol) read more

The food was very phenomenal! The broth of the pho was as authentic as it can get, the shumai was sweet, savory, and a wholesome bite. Pairs well with the sauce. The owner was very welcoming. Knows the menu like the back of his hand, best part is everything is made from scratch. This establishment is well kept, service and food is A1, would recommend! read more

Another great addition to the Broadway Food Hall. We always get the Pho with an extra pepper, and it's amazing. Consistently great, friendly service and authentic.

Absolutely delicious food. Friendly service. Don't sleep on this place. Will definitely be back.

Love the pho, pork buns, chicken plate and owners are great people. I wish they would keep some of the Restaurant Week options as specials

The service was great and the food easily some of the best i've had. They make their own sauces and they are out of this world. Their pho is by far the best I've ever had. The owner was very friendly and attentive. If we lived closer it'd be a fight to not eat there all the time. I can't wait to take my sons and introduce them to the food there. We had the crab rangoon, winter rolls, pho and beef rice plate and we'd definitely recommend them all. read more
