Haven't try Vietnamese food for such a long time and LC Pho doesn't disappoint me. The Goi cuon's sauce is absolutely flavorful and worth trying. Bun bo Hue is my favorite one. Although it doesn't have the exact flavor as the one I usually eat at my hometown, the spices combination make LC Pho unique to me. read more

Gotta give them 9 out of 10 for the Bo La Lot. Also, you must try their Banh Mi too. One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Chicago fr

So glad that we found this hidden gem in Lawrence, Chicago. All the items we got were fresh and delicious. The owner is very nice and funny. They sell dessert plates and tropical fruits too! read more

LC Pho - Scallop - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I arrived to what seemed like a chaotic environment and after waiting for 15 minutes and I was seated after someone noticed. However once seated, I ordered the Beef Pho with eye of round steak and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the beef Bahn Mi to go and it was equally delicious. However, I think there needs to be some thought into the organization because I waited around 20 minutes to get my check and tab out. However, this can be understandable if they were understaffed and having to serve large tables with over 15 patrons. read more

LC Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had high hopes for this place because a friend of a friend highly recommended it. Sadly, it fell short of our expectations in both the food quality and the state of the location. Upon entry to the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the smell. It wasn't stinky or awful but just enough not-too-welcoming odor for a restaurant. Our table was sticky and the floor on the way to the bathroom was also sticky. The food was just okay, I've had better Vietnamese food. The server even forgot my order of juice drink which I didn't bother to remind since she seemed too busy when there were only two other tables occupied in the whole restaurant aside from ours. We don't plan to be back there anytime soon. read more

In my opinion one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in the area. They cater to Vietnamese people, meaning the food is more authentic than some other restaurants. LC is also a great place to order catering for parties if you need catered Vietnamese food. We had a large group with us and called ahead and ordered a few dishes like the fried fish and beef for spring rolls so it would be ready before we got there. This is a good idea if you have a big group and want a lot of food. The servers here were so nice and got us whatever we needed. I loved all of the food as seen in the photos! read more

I ordered a tofu vegetarian banh mi. Inside, there was tofu, cucumbers, cilantro, and jalapeños. The tofu was lightly marinated and the bread had a touch of mayonnaise. Bread texture was soft and chewy. It was not a big sandwich but it satisfied my hunger. The taste was delicious and ingredients were all fresh for just $10. read more

Although I haven't been to LC Pho in awhile I had a taste this past Sunday for their delicious spring rolls, and knew I had to make a visit. They're just okay, they're still fresh, filled with shrimp, mint, cucumber, but missing the wafer they used to put in them. What I didn't like about this place was it wasn't as friendly as it used to be, like when Audra (?) was there, she was always welcoming. Just wondering if this place changed hands?? The person who took my order (new owner??) wasn't very friendly, so I didn't feel like tipping him! Also I kept on noticing food particles on the kitchen floor while the cook was preparing my order and I also noticed a lot of dirty dishes left on the tables after the previous customers left, this really left a bad taste in my mouth. BTW, not surprised there was a cockroach in somebody's carryout order, so sanitary conditions are not the best at LC Pho! Which begs the question, what are you really getting here? I want to know these kind of things before I decide to patronize a place. Another thing I didn't like was how much they they jacked up their prices?? $8 for (2) spring rolls, which I believe used to be around $4.50!!! Even their carryout menu had high prices for a supposedly budget restaurant, which is a definite game-changer for me. So NOT going back! read more

LC Pho - spring rolls! - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is great! The Pho is served piping hot and the broth is perfection. Fried pork egg rolls are a must.

Ventured out of our usual viet restaurant today to try this place. It was so promising, owner (I think) was very nice. We wanted to try their $60 cat fish, was willing to wait but explicitly asked for no peanuts because of a food allergy. 45 mins later, fish came out covered in peanuts. Owner apologized and we were willing to wait again for another fish. Another 35 mins later, the new fish came out. It was okay. I wouldn't get it again. The bill came out - no discount - that's fine. When we packed the leftovers, we asked for more rice papers - owner wanted to run the bill again to charge us $3 for it. Wow really?! Such poor customer service after we waited over an hour and 15 mins for a meal. Did not offer us an app as we wait and wanted to charge a few dollars for some rice papers? I won't be coming back here. read more

I was longing for some good pho and this place was nearby and highly rated. We shared the beef spring rolls, lemongrass beef bahn mi, and shredded chicken pho. The beef spring rolls were great, albeit they could have done with more beef. The sauce in particular was a highlight. The bahn mi was decent, but not the best I've had. The beef was a little rubbery and the bread could have been softer. The pho was wonderful. It's perfect for a cold day, or really any day. So comforting. The chicken was juicy and the broth was so clean. Definitely coming back for some more pho! read more

The food was ok, but they will charge you extra for extra sauce ( mắm nêm ,or bánh trán, ...) with MAKE NO SENSE. My friend went there for a group of 4 people last time and this time we went for a group of 6 people, ofcourse the sauce and rice papers for Cá Nướng and Bò Lá Lốp was the same portion for 4 pp. 4$ for extra rice papers 3$ for extra sauce per small portion. read more

I ordered a takeout last minute. They were nice and accommodating. I saw many good reviews and decided to give it a try. But once is enough, I won't be coming back. The food tasted bad and was not edible. Maybe they rushed through and accidentally added too much spice to the pho. read more

It's much nicer and more spacious than it was before. If you're not willing to go all the way to Viet town for your Vietnamese fix this place could work for you. I was a bit disheartened that our server didn't enforce the mask policy. Couldn't help but notice he was more lenient to the Vietnamese speaking customers than anyone else. On top of that he did not even ask for a photo ID when we showed our vaccination card. Just assumed that was ours. All the while not even checking to see if the Vietnamese customers actually had a vaccination card. He just took their word for it on top of not enforcing their mask policy. They just waltzed in with no masks. read more

Let me start off with : I'm Vietnamese (from south Vietnam) and looooveee my traditional Vietnamese food: however, I'm pretty particular when it comes to pho. It has to taste like my mom's or the bowls of pho from Saigon, Vietnam. Anyway, I generally love the pho and bun bo hue from LC, and was afraid that after their remodeling and expansion of the menu that the quality of food would decline. I'm happy to report that the quality of food is still excellent!!! We ordered bun bo hue, pho, bo la lot, grilled snails, and com suon last night. I wish I had taken a picture of the food but we were so excited about the food that we didn't stop to think about a photo. Everything was fresh and delicious. Everything had the traditional Vietnamese flavor; even the sauce for bo la lot was traditional and strong. I'm still thinking about the food today. The restaurant is clean and well lit. The service was extraordinary and the owner was so lovable. My four year old daughter wanted pho but we knew she wouldn't be able to finish their "small" bowl, but the owner heard her and said he'd make a "baby bowl" for her- he even had the meat balls and meat all cut up! I cannot rave about them enough. I'm not related to anyone there and I don't get anything out of posting about this. I'm just soooo excited and happy to have a traditional Vietnamese restaurant so close to home! read more

Definitely the best pho I've had in Chicagoland. Broth is clean and tasty with alot of flavors with fresh meat. I was surprised at the first sip because I was expecting the usual mediocre non-homemade taste. Place just got remodeled and it looks great. Friendly staff and good service. New favorite spot! read more

Charge me $5 for an extra sauce i ask for the fried fish which already cost $60. The waiter gave it to me and the owner come by and ask to pay $5 extra. Which is way too much for extra dipping sauce. I don't support stingy owner. read more

Honestly this is the best vegan pho in the city. Try the fresh pressed sugar cane drink! It's amazing.

I ordered crab rangoon, egg rolls, shrimp fried rice, and chicken pho; $42 later I'm a little disappointed. The crab rangoon tasted like just melted cream cheese and fried wonton, no imitation crab or green onion inside or at least it wasn't detectable. The egg rolls lacked flavor like they needed salt or something, I couldn't put my finger on it. The chicken in my pho had been boiled/ poach too long and had a gritty/ dry texture to it but the broth was tasty. The star was the shrimp fried rice, the shrimp were nice and big and seasoned well. I'll probably try another restaurant before I come back here, there's so many other Vietnamese spots in Albany park. This was a carry out order, but the staff was friendly and it looked cleaned inside so points for that. read more

I hosted a large 30 people dinner party here. They were very accommodating and the food was amazing! This is NOT your typical americanize restaurant. This is an authentic deep rooted vietnamese cuisine. The best vietnamese restaurant I've tried in years! Try their delicious goat hotpot. Your tummy will thank you read more

AMAZING! My first time ever having Pho soup was in L.A. Since then it's been hard finding a restaurant to live up to the favors of L.A Pho. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls (comes with two huge rolls) The rolls are packed with fresh lettuce, rice noodles, shredded carrots something crunchy like a chip. It's served with a peanuts sauce that's thick and also flavorful. Now to the Pho. I order the shredded chicken Pho. The the soup was very filling and tasty! Plenty of bean sprouts, rice noodles, fresh basal, lime, jalapenos and CHICKEN! The chicken it self is seasoned just right were you can taste all the flavors even after mixing it all together. Definitely coming back ! read more

My boyfriend and I love LC Pho! We've tried other pho places out of curiosity for something new and so far we always end up wishing we would have gone to LC. I usually get the vegetable pho with the regular tofu and my boyfriend always gets the Thai pho. They give you a generous amount of basil, lime, jalapeño, and bean sprouts which is always awesome. I love drizzling a good amount of their spicy garlic sauce. That stuff is damn good! During the summer they have fried Oreos and those are delicious as well! read more

Looking for somewhere to satisfy your pho cravings? Check out LC Pho! I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and we were seated immediately. We started off with the appetizer sampler, which was awesome! It included two portions of each item- firecracker shrimp, coconut shrimp, fried eggroll, spring roll, and crab Rangoon. Each item came with its own dipping sauce, which was pretty cool! I ordered the bun bu hue, which strikes the perfect balance of spicy, sour, savory flavors. My husband ordered the beef pho, which he loved! The broth is very tasty, not too salty. Will definitely be coming back for more! read more

The restaurant was nice on the inside & had plenty of space. The staff was responsive and kept our drinks full. The pho was the best I've ever had as well and well-made with fresh ingredients. Would recommend! read more

This place never disappoints! There are so many Vietnamese places around, but this one takes the top spot for me. The staff is always friendly and the food beyond amazing (probably why we order from them so often). The pho is out of this world but if you are looking to try something outside of pho, their papaya salad is everything! So happy this place reopened read more

I had ordered several items for delivery last night. When I opened up the tightly tied bag there was an inch long COCKROACH staring at me from atop a food container. I usually go to LD Pho but decided on ordering from here instead. I'm really going to hope that LD maintains a pest free kitchen because LC apparently has an issue. read more

This place looks like a typical "hole in the wall" but the reviews (and food! and service!) speak for themselves. My husband and I headed here after touring Swedish Covenant Hospital nearby (baby coming soon!) and had time for a quick dinner before we needed to be home. I had set my heart on banh mi at Nhu Lan down the street, forgetting they aren't open at dinner. So luckily Yelp led me to LC Pho - and a wonderful chicken banh mi, fresh lemonade and potstickers. It was 90 degrees so not the best time for pho, but I'd come back for it. My husband had the pork chop and was very happy with his choice, too. The service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. We were full for less than $30, with the added bonus of Korean pop videos on the TVs. Easy street (metered) parking on Lawrence. Would definitely return and they seem to do a bustling pick up service so might send my husband while I'm stuck with hospital food for a few days! read more

This is by far the best vegetarian pho I have ever had. Vegetable dumplings were also delicious, and did not have soy meat inside like many other places and instead was actual veggies. I got takeout and everything was packaged separately for the pho - which was perfect. Absolutely will visit again and you should too! read more

The food deserves 4 stars it was good and we all enjoyed the food. The service was horrible I think the day we went there was only 1 waiter and it took forever to get our food and they even forgot banh xeo and when we were almost done with our meal he said it was coming and we told him to just cancel it since we were done eating. Then it took another 15 mins to just pay. The food was good and worth the drive but hopefully they get more staffing. read more
