Tried Phoday recently and honestly left pretty disappointed…read more We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls, steak pho, and the Korean BBQ-style rice plate ($16.75). The biggest letdown by far was the rice plate. For that price, I expected a decent portion and quality--but instead, I got 4 tiny pieces of beef short ribs that were almost entirely fat with barely any actual meat. It honestly felt more like eating pork belly than short ribs. It just felt like a total rip-off for what you get. I wouldn't recommend ordering that dish at all. The rest of the food was okay, but nothing that would make me want to come back, especially considering the price point. Service was slow. Had to ask for water refills. Restaurant is clean and spacious.

We tried many Pho places and they are mostly all good but House of Pho is a step above. We get the…read morebeef brisket pho here and it's been our "go to" place ever since! They use top quality meat, give you generous portions, it's super fresh, you get it steaming hot and it is always packed very neatly. The broth is really good (we order medium spicy) and the meat is tender. The shrimp fried eggrolls are nice and crunchy on the outside and packed with shrimp and veggies. We order them everytime they are so good ! Prices are comparable to others but the quality and carryout service keep us coming back. We want to dine in there one of these days when we aren't so busy!

Unfortunately, these don't stand out compared to a restaurant that focuses on one type of food. We ordered a rice dish, spring rolls, a Banh Mi, and Pho. Everything was average/good except for the Banh Mi. The Banh Mi was probably a two-star dish. The staff was nice. There isn't too much to say about the decor. At places like these, I hope for something to give me the WOW factor, but this place simply provided us with our Vietnamese food fix, and we're good. We'll still come back; it just won't be our top choice for Vietnamese food.

As expected, the meat offered is fully cooked and the options offered aren't too adventurous. With that said though, the amount of noodles and meat provided is quite generous, they offer beat sprouts, jalapenos, lime, cilantro, scallion, and onion -- though I didn't find any basil in the dish. The broth wasn't the most complex, but was still surprisingly flavorful -- more so than some options outside of the mall. Service wasn't the fastest, but it didn't take unreasonably long to serve the food after ordering from the kiosk. Though not exactly the greatest Vietnamese food, the large portion size and fairly good flavor (for mall noodles) make this an option I'd get again when I'm in Woodfield.

We ordered the House Special Pho (rare beef, shank beef, tripe, beef tender, meat ball, bean sprout, onion, cilantro, scallion). This was much fresher and flavorful than I thought it would be and much better than shopping mall pho should be. The soup had a good flavor and the many beefs all tasted good. It wasn't the best pho I've ever had but it was still pretty tasty. Since this was a success, I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. I recommend Pho Cafe.

So far I tried Mr A's across the street for breakfast and it's a hit or miss it's good on certain dishes like the pancakes but not the French toast. This is my first time trying this Vietnamese place across the street and it seems pretty clean I did try to come here but you have to come here Wednesday through Sunday and I came on a Monday or Tuesday and they were closed. Right now this is my opportunity trying them and so far it's been a quaint and ambience on the declar if they're playing soft jazz music. So far service was pretty quick. Instead of the typical traditional Vietnamese summer or spring rolls I went for the Chinese side which they had shrimp shumai which is more dim sum I just ordered one it was okay. I ordered the pho with the beef tendon and it was a meh ok. I think it could have been a little more flavorful with their pho broth but it wasn't bland either. Needs more cinnamon. What's also unique was the fact that they kept their soup spoons and their regular spoons and chopsticks in this wooden box and then another peculiarity was you had to get the condiments of basil chili pepper bean sprouts and lime up in a tray versus for them to bring it to you. The line in the basil didn't seem that fresh which is why I was a little disappointed other than that it was okay. I don't know if I would come here more often but there are other places I tried that are Vietnamese in which the pho had more flavor and was better. I probably would come here for their dim sum

My husband ordered the Shrimp fried rice... unfortunately a man came out of the kitchen after 10 minutes and said that they don't have any more fried rice. He did give us a free crab Rangoon appetizer to make up for it. The outside was very light and crispy and the center just melted away! My husband and I both ended up ordering the pho #2 (Beef noodle soup base with Sliced Beef, Tendon, Tripe, Brisket) If you dine in between 3pm and 6pm on weekdays you save 20% (make sure you tell them when you pay because they don't just automatically give the discount to you) We are glad that we dined here the food was really good and served at the proper temperature.

We came on a Sunday night about an hour before they closed and I was surprised by how full it was! They were even seating people until the very end of the night. I was happy to see it. I also love that they play loud dance music in here. It makes it feel so fun and lively in there lol. Service is great too and everyone is friendly. I ordered taro milk tea but sadly they were out of the tapioca boba, so I got it without. It's definitely better with the tapioca. We also ordered fried pork dumplings and they were so delicious, crispy and hot. I got a small northern pho (same one I got last time) and added plenty of spice to it. It was very satisfying and flavorful. The small is huge and I couldn't finish it, but wish I could have it was so good.

We ordered and tried the following: 1) Shrimp egg rolls 2) Tofu banh bao 3) Small pho, beef broth, brisket, beef meatballs - We specifically order the pho for my girls and they both finished it without a single drop of broth left. 4) Small pho, vegan broth, tofu and mushrooms - Most Vietnamese restaurants do not have a vegan broth option. My mom is a vegetarian so this was definitely a surprise and ideal option! 5) Bun Dau Mam Tom - This can be a mess to wrap the fried tofu, steamed pork, rice noodles, and shrimp paste in lettuce. Everything went well together and the shrimp paste has a slight kick to it. 6) Soft shell crab fried rice - The soft shell crab is crunchy and came with a generous portion of fried rice. We had plenty of fried rice left. 7) Vietnamese iced coffee - My parents generally prefer the Vietnamese coffee hot however Pholicious only serves them cold. 8) Egg coffee - Rich and creamy! We did not try the banh mi but we did buy a bag of freshly baked baguettes to go. Each bag comes with three baguettes. If you buy one bag, it is $3. However, if you buy two bags, it is cheaper at $5. The baguettes held up really well for our home-made sandwiches.

The bread held everything nicely and you can taste the freshness of it being baked that day! The ratio of meat to bread to veggies was spot on! I did not feel slighted with the amount of protein in each sandwich. My ranking by flavor not bad to wow: Vietnamese sausage, buttery roasted chicken, lemongrass pork, and buttery steak. I was shocked that the chicken was so moist considering I totally bypassed the butter garlic for just roasted. I did an "Oh my!" sigh cuz I was truly caught off guard when I took a bite of the chicken bahn mi. Whatever sauce they stirred through was so smart! As Chicago Bahn Mi, they sell sandwiches.
