My husband asked me where I wanted to eat for my 43rd birthday and I was craving Vietnamese but…read morewanted to find a new place. I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect. Our hearts left super happy.

Was in the mood for something a bit healthier, comforting, and also spicy, so I thought of pho…read more This is probably the best place in the area to get it, and even my bf who is much more "pho experienced" than I am claimed this was some of the best he has ever had. 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.

Bloomingdale is a 40-minute drive for us. So we had to make the most of the trip and brought the…read morewhole family for an outing. We arrived around 11:30 am on a Saturday and there was no wait. 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.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly and it helped right away. The food came out fast and…read morethere is a lovely family feel since this restaurant. They're seating so you can dine in or take it to go.

I had the spicy beef pho, and my son and the birthday girl had the non-spicy beef and chicken pho respectively. The five stars are because my wife thought it was very good! TBH - So did I and my son, but she is the pho aficionado. Go to Pho Xich Lo for some Pho! Peace!

Well ever since I've been working in streamwood passing by I've been also exploring the restaurants…read morein Roselle because one of my mom's close friends used to live here as well as her son who still lives here and is now taking over her home which is now his home. 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

Once a craving for pho hits, there's no turning back! I stopped by PHO chu hai about an hour before…read moreclosing and ordered #18 Pho Nam (beef flank), large size. The large bowl was very filling! Plenty of noodles and a good amount of flank beef, with enough pieces to balance perfectly with the noodles. The broth was flavorful and satisfying, though I felt it could have been a bit richer. For $14 a portion was generous overall. The restaurant itself is spacious and each table is set with hand sanitizer, hot sauce, hot chili sauce, salt, and pepper and basic cutlery (spoon and fork). When the phone was served, they also brought out chopsticks, a soup spoon, and all the fresh toppings. Since I was the last guest of the night, I really appreciated how attentive the server was checking in often to make sure I had everything I needed. Even though they were close to closing, I never felt rushed overall. It was a great experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back

While in the area, my party of four decided to drop by Hong Ning to have Filipino food for lunch…read more The restaurant is in a small strip plaza and the Filipino bakery next door is owned by the same family. We arrived on a Saturday just after noon and plenty of parking spaces were available in the parking lot. The restaurant was very spacious with Filipino decor throughout. Approximately half of the tables were occupied with diners and my party was seated right away. We were pretty hungry and ordered several items to share family style. Pork sinigang arrived first and had the distinct tamarind flavor I expected without overpowering the rest of the dish. Lechon kawali came next and the pork belly pieces were cut into perfect bite sized pieces full of flavor and crunch; the lechon tasted good with and without the liver gravy sauce. Crispy sisig arrived on a sizzling plate and was seasoned very well in the mixture of sauce and onions; I liked that the pieces of pork were mostly meat unlike other places which like to sneak in cubes of fat. Crispy pata kare kare was the next dish to arrive and at first glance the portion was huge; the portion was very generous with pork and vegetables and was very delicious. Lastly, we had BBQ pork and chicken skewers, each of which were marinated and grilled very well. To drink, I had the sago gulaman which was very refreshing and had the right amount of sweetness. Overall, I was very impressed with my lunch at Hong Ning. Aside from the generous portions, the dishes were not too oily or salty and it is rare to dine at a Filipino restaurant that prepares its food in way that doesn't feel like it is clogging up arteries. Along the wall in the back by the restroom is a collage of Filipino and Filipino American celebrities that dined at the restaurant, which surprised me for a restaurant in the suburbs. I highly recommend Hong Ning for anyone craving a great Filipino meal while in the Carol Stream area.

I liked that the lunch special had some cucumber pieces to cleanse the palate. My Pad Thai reminds me of the college Thai food that is well made enough but might seem a bit premade. If you like the profile, slightly sticky and chewy noodles with pretty strong sweet flavor profile, this is not bad. Egg roll was light and crunchy, some might like that. Overall I think the Thai flavor is a bit muted, and it's leaning sweet to fit non-Asian palate. It's not bad, but also I think there are better Thai places around Chicago.
