    Shrimp wrapped in beef
    Michelle G.

    I have been curious about this Vietnamese spot for a while, mainly because of the various shrimp wrapped in meat dishes they have. So when my friend and I were looking for a place to eat in the area, I finally got to check this place off my list. I was torn between trying the shrimp wrapped in bacon vs beef and I ended up with the shrimp wrapped in beef. It was good but not Amazing, and I don't feel the need to try this place again. My friend felt similarly about what she ordered. Not sure if it's because we did takeout.

    Came here based off reviews and found it to be good, but nothing amazing. Ordered a bowl of pho and the broth was lacking that cinnamony aroma that I'm used to. It was a little basic. My partner ordered bun Bo hue and said it was decent. The service was good though - our server kept coming back to refill out water. I don't know. Good, but was expecting more and the bowl of pho just wasn't it.

    LD Pho has a wide selection of delicious food, ranging from classic pho tai and bahn mi to their speciality dishes such as the grilled rib eye steak. Their staff are excellent and quick, and the establishment has a cozy atmosphere.

    17. Pho Tai

    Best pho place in Chicago, super fast service and hand made ingredients. My favorite place to go!

    Delicious fresh food at a great price. Loved the homey feeling inside, and had a great experience overall!

    Their lemonade is amazing The pork springs rolls are fantastic! The crab Rangoon's are a 1/10 ‍terrible

    Pho Chay

    Even though it's not hard to find pho, most pho uses beef or chicken broth. It's not as easy to find vegetarian friendly pho, but there's lots of places where you can get it. LD Pho is one of these. Good prices for a pretty large bowl of noodles and protein. The broth is kind of bland, which is the only complaint, but it helps with a touch of seasoning. Among the best foods for cool weather is pho in a bowl. It just does something good. The weather was pretty cool for this time of year. Luckily this place wasn't far. We stopped in and got a couple bowls of the Pho Chay, which is vegan. It's $13 for a pretty big ass bowl. This has basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, mushrooms, and tofu. Bowls only come in the one size, meaning there likely will be leftovers. The broth was kind of too much like water, and needed a little seasoning from the hot sauce and peppers. Good place to get some tasty broth. It's close to the Kedzie Brown Line station in Albany Park. The inside is pretty small, so most people get takeout.

    What else is there to say about this place? If you don't already know about LD Pho I just feel sorry for you. It is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Chicago. Period. The only reason why I do t eat here everyday is because I have to go to work sometimes. Service is always great. They treat you like family and can modify whatever you need.

    The girl on the phone has been working there forever and she's the reason I stay loyal besides the food tasting amazing. I always order extra crispy tofu on the side and they never disappoint most consistent quality and service. I recommend this to anyone craving pho. I use to live in the area and now I travel 25 mins out of my way I need my soup. LD pho is the number one pho in Chicago. Hands down

    Best broth in the area. Anyone who eats Pho knows it's all about the broth. They are consistent as well, which is rare.

    ambiance? 10/10 service? 10/10!!!…read morefood? 10/10!!!!!!!!! this place is SO cute. i love how small and cozy it is, with both table seating and bar seating options. the bartender and servers were so sweet, attentive, and friendly - which, in my opinion, always makes eating anywhere 10x better. i couldn't decide between the pho and the crispy noodles, so i got both... and i'm SO glad i did!!!!! the portions were absolutely huge. the chicken pho was delicious, loved it. couldn't finish it though because the real star of the show for me was the crispy noodles with the beef topping. omg. i died and went to heaven. i was audibly moaning with every bite, yes... out loud!! i will DREAM about these crispy noodles for the rest of eternity. i also got the vietnamese iced coffee, which was DELICIOUS. i spent the whole day walking around lincoln park and thought i'd have to uber home after eating, but after this meal, i felt so rejuvenated i walked 30 minutes home, no problem. so good. so worth it. get in there and tip well. recommending to anyone who loves high-quality food and great vibes.

Seeing as we once lived together on a Clark Street, why not dinner on this N Clark St? Following my clinical parallel park job, we entered this theatre of dreams. I'll recognize upfront my bias for sloped ceilings, but this spot ticks that interior box. Sierra Mist colored lighting to make the drinks hit harder and fake skylights that unironically went crazy. Not to mention, this Croatian meets Vietnamese love story was jamming Americana all night long. Soon enough I was white-knuckling the table to keep my cool as the medley proved to be somewhere between erotic and nostalgic. One could rescue a newborn from a burning building and it would pail in comparison to the respect our waitress lavished onto us. Reason being, this lovely lady spent the entire night responding with "yes chef" to any of our interactions. In all fairness, it's understandable to assume our party of mustached men were chefs. Heck, one of us got a diet cola, isn't that a tell too? I say all this to make known the cult status that woman will have in my heart till I breathe my last breath. As for the menu, what a divine collaboration. Sequestered into some back pages lay a section for Balkan fare that served as a platform for the married-in man to showcase his swagger. Truth be told it's this food selection that brought me in and that red pepper spread that makes me stay. This skilled in-law got even more time to shine on the beer list, with my dark Bosnian beer showing every reason why. Tasty lil thing. All things considered, this is still a Vietnamese restaurant. Pho did its thing and embraced the mega serving size stereotype it so firmly holds, but it cannot sit in the poll position here. Brian, my dear friend, voiced that his girlfriend swears by Sunset's crispy noodle. Well folks, Tessa certainly knows ball! While still respectfully conversing through our meal, Brian joined the clean plate club alarmingly fast. Based on my swapski sampling of his platter I can understand why. Clear betting favorite, certified hustler, it's what to get y'all. As we wrapped our meal my other dear friend at the table, John, accidentally stated something that must serve as the slogan for Sunset Pho Caffe. He said, "It elevates the past." By golly it does and I'll raise my glass to that!

It the fried chicken is packed with flavor (on the saltier side) but pairs perfectly with the rice, three sauces, cilantro, and fresh cucumbers along with a side of soup broth. My partner usually orders their pho. And we're both big fans of their crispy pork skins! Better than their battered fries in my opinion. But both deeply fried and yeet-hai (iykyk!). Ube Horchata comes premade but is a delicious balance of ube and horchata; not too sweet. We've been frequenting Phodega ever since their Ashland location, but glad they didn't move far.

My initial plan was to actually go to Kasama for a late lunch. Ordered an Uber and everything. The line was SO long! I wasn't sure how long it would have taken. I was so hungry but wasn't going to wait outside in the cold. So I looked for places nearby and saw Phodega was down the street! They had good reviews and based off pictures, the place looked delicious! I wasn't in the mood for pho (even though the weather was perfect for hot noodle soup) but the Hainanese chicken rice caught my eye. It was a super cute spot, small but luckily we were able to snag a table. There are only a handful of tables and they are pretty close together. It was decorated just as expected, like a Bodega of course! a trendy, hippy little shop. I think the concept is pretty cool. We were greeted by the worker at the counter and explained we can either order at the counter with her or have a seat, scan the QR code on the table and order from there. If you need more napkins, utensils, water, etc. there's a self service station by the door. For two people, we ordered a lot of food! LOL Here's our order: 1. Hainanese chicken rice 2. Salt & Pepper Chicken Skins 3. Phodega Fries 4. The Viet Dip 5. Crack Wings I will say, 5 items at a 2 person table is very crowded lol. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our tummies. Overall, the food was delicious. The gravy for the Phodega Fries was actually pretty good. We helped ourselves to to-go containers at the self service table. 5/5 from me
