Amazing food, friendly servers and a nice relaxing environment. Mongolian beef is superb, the pork and shrimp spring rolls are a refreshing appetizer and the beef skewers are tender and so richly flavored. The pork fried rice is out of this world! All the vegetables are finely chopped so you don't get a big chunk of carrot unexpectedly, also deep rich flavor from a properly seasoned wok. Shrimp Chow Fun was perfectly crispy on the outside while being tender and delicious inside. Beef pho was also perfectly seasoned with a deep flavorful broth. Literally every thing I've eaten here is fantastic. If you have time for a bit of a wait, try the pork and shrimp pancakes! Also nice to be able to bring your own drinks so you're not being gouge at wheatons current drink pricing trend. Solid 5 stars! read more

I ordered the lemongrass beef with rice noodles and started with the spring rolls -- always here for a good peanut sauce, and this one definitely delivered. I asked them to surprise me with either wonton or egg soup, and the wonton soup totally hit the spot as a perfect way to start the meal. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed -- nothing flashy, just a comfortable, neighborhood spot where you can actually enjoy your meal and conversation without feeling rushed or cramped. The natural light by the window on a nice day makes it even better. Plenty of parking in the area with street parking and a lot just around the corner, which is always a win. We were seated quickly, and the staff was super friendly and attentive with refills. Service was swift, and getting a window seat on a nice day was such a bonus. Easy, comfy spot with great food -- I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in Wheaton or nearby suburb. read more

We were excited to find a Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Wheaton. The servers were friendly, quickly brought water & menus, took our orders, and delivered our food. The restaurant is spacious with lots of tables - very clean & nicely decorated. Free street parking is available in front of the store. The reason I gave three stars is the taste of the food. It was okay, but nothing that WOW'd us. The egg drop soup that came with the lunch combination was tasty, but the grilled lemongrass chicken was just okay in taste and a bit overcooked. For the price we paid, we wouldn't complain. The lunch combination is a good value. Just manage your expectations, especially if you're from Southeast Asia. read more

Great place with great food that treats you like family. Service is top notch. The whole Sea Bass is a treat. We bring our own wine so we can have a great meal with wine and not pay the huge up charge other places demand. read more

We were in the area meeting folks, and decided to drop by to support a local Vietnamese restaurant. When we came in we were trying to figure out how to to be seated as everyone was busy working. We walked up to the counter and they welcomed us to be seated anywhere. After sitting they offered water and various canned drinks. As we perused the menu. We started with the beef lemon grass skewers and they are delicious. The meat was juicy and the flavors were spot on. The veggies under the skewers helped balance all of the flavors. After that they bought the Vietnamese sour soup with catfish. Such a nostalgic dish with my family and I was so excited to enjoy it. They presented it in a nice soup container and brought out rice. They had jalepenos on top for you to decide how spicy you wanted your soup. It was delicious, I stopped myself to eat the other dishes and was so excited to have it for lunch the next day. We also got the pork lemongrass pork chop rice dish. This plate was huge and enough for my husband and I to share. The pork was flavorful and the fish sauce was perfect to tie in all of the traditional flavors. I was also craving walnut shrimp and it was delicious. The only thing that threw me off was the pineapple, and the cherries on top of it. But the shrimp wasn't too battered and was full of flavor with the sauce. Each of the dish came with rice so we had plenty to enjoy. While we were there tons of people came in, so exciting to see such a well loved local business. All in all, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back soon. read more

I come here once a year when visiting family. Pho is great as well as the pork and shrimp pancakes. I haven't tried too many things on their menu but what I have tried has been awesome. Service is quick and prices are lower than what see on the east coast. If I lived in Wheaton I would come and eat at this restaurant every week. Highly recommended! read more

We like our regular dishes so much we forget to try new things here. Our go-tos are the lemongrass shrimp and chow fun with chicken. I like their spring rolls better than any others around here.

Excellent food and such nice staff. Highly recommend dining in or taking to go. Papaya salad was amazing!

It was a cold and windy Wednesday night and I needed some hot broth and good food. We were greeted by a friendly elderly gentleman and his son who said we could sit anywhere we wanted. The restaurant serves traditional Vietnamese and Chinese food. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Apps: Chicken Wing Delight: chicken was served hot and it had a light crispy batter. Loved the sautéed onions on there too. There is a light drizzle of oyster sauce and thankfully it was only a drizzle bc it was so so salty! Maybe if I had eaten it was a side of rice it would have balanced out the flavors. 7/10 Banh Xeo (pork and shrimp pancakes): These delightfully crispy pancakes were super stuffed with bean sprouts, steamed shrimp, and pork. Accompanied by nuoc cham (Vietnamese fish sauce) and fresh vegetables. I was pleasantly surprised that they used char siu, and have absolutely no complaints about it. It added lots more flavor to the pancakes. Made a wrap using the lettuce and stuffed it banh xeo, Thai basil, and cilantro and dunked it in the the delicious fish sauce. 8.5/10 Dinner: #18 Special beef pho: As soon as the server set the bowl down I got a pho steam facial. The broth was hot and fragrant, and the taste was unbelievably comforting. Broth was clean and it warmed my soul up with each slurp. The variety of meats were tender, and I also added meatballs. The pho did not need anything else to doctor it up. Just a handful of bean sprouts and some fresh Thai basil with a squeeze of lime. 9/10 I would definitely make the drive out to Wheaton to eat here again. There is more on the menu I'd like to try, Great spot for a wholesome meal with friends and family. read more

Was in the downtown Wheaton area for a yelp experience, and it was a cold windy night. We decided to stop into Luong Loi for a nice warm bowl of pho. We were greeted by an elderly gentleman that told me I can pick anywhere to sit. Luong Loi offers popular Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. It all sounded delicious. We started with the shrimp and pork pancakes, and the Chicken Wing Delight. The pancakes (Banh Xeo) were a hit. It consisted of 2 rice flower crepes stuffed with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts served with lettuce, cilantro and basil. The chicken wings had a nice light crispy batter covered with sauteed onions and a light drizzle of oyster sauce. The sauce was definitely needed because the wings were very salty. I could only eat one. We followed the apps up with a nice warm bowl of the special beef pho. Once the bowl is placed in front of you, you are instantly hit by the aroma of the broth. Let me tell you...it was LOVE AT FIRST SLURP!! So warm, clean, and refreshing. You know it's a great broth when you don't need to add any additional sauces. Just a handful of bean sprouts and a few basil leaves does the trick. The staff at Luong Loi goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and their authentic dishes are nothing short of amazing. read more

We strayed from our typical go tos to give this Chinese / Vietnamese spot a shot and it didn't disappoint. Food was good. The service was prompt. Restaurant is situated in the downtown area of Wheaton which I thought was a cute area. Highlight for me would be the beef pho. Broth was delicious. Meat quality was good and served with all the fresh toppings and sauces (hoisin & sriracha) you'd expect to adjust to your taste. The lemongrass pork appetizer was nice to start with. The fried rice my son throughly enjoyed. The duck noodle soup was okay. The pan fried seafood noodles were average and not much noodles to be honest. Anyways I'd probably come back for the pho as there aren't many Vietnamese options around here. Til next time, cheers! read more

This is my first time trying it. The food just wasn't good. No flavor and just tasted strange.

We dined in at Luong-Loi Vietnamese Cuisine for the first time, though we've ordered takeout from here during the Covid shutdowns. I remember them bringing food to our car in the middle of winter when dining in was forbidden, so it was nice to finally enjoy a hot meal inside. I had the #62 Shrimp Your Way, Kung Pao style. I've had that dish at a lot of different carry-outs, and it was great here. Hot, fresh, and perfectly spiced. The #16 Wonton Soup was also excellent. Our waiter was kind and polite, and the hot jasmine tea was a nice touch. Great food and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Delicious Pho soups, dumplings, and noodles. I've been a frequent customer for years and I've never been disappointed.

Eight years ago I said that I hope Luong Loi keeps the excellence up. Well, they certainly have! Try the shrimp rolls and the hot and sour soup . Both are so very delicious. The soup is loaded with thin/petite slices of veggies and bbq pork in addition to the traditional (Chinese) tofu and mushrooms. It's a Vietnamese version that is sweet and tangy. The shrimp rolls are whole shrimps with a smattering of ground pork. Amazingly delicious! I had a craving for Chinese egg foo yung, but didn't want to make the mistake of ordering from China Star (takeout) which has greatly declined in quality since taken over by new owners. My hubby said that Luong Loi has foo yung. It is a Viet version, thus sweetened, but very good! I got my fix and more! read more

Really enjoyed the beef pho! The broth was very good. Nice, quick, and friendly service.

This is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant though they do offer pho, if you really must. This spot is located in downtown Wheaton and is reasonably priced. Luong-Loi has some Chinese items on the menu, but it's Americanized stuff. Shrimp spring rolls are a must have app so I got that to start and it was tightly wrapped and fresh. Peanut sauce is always different place to place and here it's more like sweet and sour sauce. Shortly after getting the spring rolls, our main entrees were already served. Love it when I don't have to wait forever for my food. My friend had the beef pho, and it's his go to dish every time. It was hot outside so I went with the lemongrass pork vermicelli plate which is normally served in a bowl at most other Viet places. It was good, but just know that this dish is warm. I thought it would have been a room temp or cold dish like other spots, but I guessed wrong. Still good though! All in all, solid place for Wheaton folks to get their Viet on, but it was a little humid inside when I was here on a hot April day. read more

Ehhhh.... just ok. The service was nice and the staff was friendly. The egg rolls were very greasy and the chicken fried rice was kind of bland with the chicken being in a Where's Waldo shirt because I could not find and in the dish. Probably would not go back.My hunt for some good fried rice continues. read more

One of the most consistent Vietnamese restaurants, good food, friendly people. Although I have tried many things on the menu over tine, we get the Pho Tai, maybe the banh xeo pancake, maybe the grilled lemongrass pork noodle salad, they are always good. We have had their food many times, usually carry-out, and I will go back. read more

I'm a Pho King addict! The food was great, service was nice, pretty sure it's family owned, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Small town, grandma's kitchen vibes. They offered so much on their menu, hot tea, Vietnamese coffee, Pho, Potstickers and more. read more

I recently came here on a cool night during a business trip to Naperville. The restaurant is in the cute downtown of Wheaton and it is, itself, a cute and cozy restaurant. The service was friendly while they were doing quite a lot of takeout orders. I ordered the Spring Rolls and the Shrimp and Crab Clear Noodle soup. The Spring Roll was fresh and delicious! The Shrimp and Crab Clear Noodle Soup had a deep and flavorful broth, sizable (but not plentiful) shrimp, a handful of shredded crab meat, and fish and shrimp balls. It was wonderful and just what I needed to warm my body and soul. Luong Lou is not on my list of regular places to stop when I'm doing business in Naperville. read more

I got to try 2 bowls of noodles here. Both are fairly low quality. Quality- the duck was completely over cooked, skin wasn't crispy, and the north tasted really watered down. The meatball pho had decent broth and it is hard to screw up meatballs. Quantity- you don't get a lot for how much you pay for here. The noodles could have filled up the bowl more and I could have gotten an extra piece of duck. ~13 bucks for each bowl. Atmosphere- good. It is nice and clean inside Service- pretty fast. The servers can be a bit hard to get ahold of. read more

The food here is Vietnamese and Chinese fusion and I would rank it a step above your average Chinese take out place. Since it is a blend, dishes were not exactly what I expected, but they had quality ingredients and good flavor. Service was friendly and my water glass never went empty. The inside is spacious and brightly lit. Egg Drop Soup $5 - The portion is big, literally a Corelle 18oz bowl filled to the rim. It doesn't taste like the common egg drop and doesn't have the yellow coloring. I did enjoy the strong garlic flavor, but would want to try the other soups next time. Egg Roll (2) $6 - Great egg roll, crispy and has all the things I like in the filling. A bit pricey. Orange Chicken $12.50 - White meat chicken, lightly breaded. I prefer my OC not to be covered in sauce, but the chicken tasted good, still slightly crispy on the outside. There is no veggie in this dish and is served with rice. Kung Pao Shrimp $12.50 - Very affordable price for a shrimp dish. I would have liked a higher level of spiciness and less sauce, but overall tastes good. Lots of veggies and peanuts, served with rice. Street parking is free and easy to find. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2022 read more

I've only ever had one dish here: grilled lemongrass chicken. Over rice, over noodles, as an appetizer. It's the absolute best! They lose a star because there's zero sense of urgency to clean after a table leaves. I've walked in several times before to a dirty table or two. I don't love that. Luong-Loi is my secret favorite spot. I wish they delivered to my apartment because it's all I ever want when it's snowing or homesick. read more

Luong Loi - Cleaning up tables - Vietnamese Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

We were walking down the street at saw this traditional Vietnamese & Chinese Cuisine restaurant and had to stop in for a bite. My husband and I love Vietnamese Egg Rolls and we're so happy to see them on the menu! They are so crispy, temperature hot, and delicious. I was drinking water while chewing them so I would not burn my mouth. I did not have the patience to wait for them to cool, they were THAT GOOD yummy! The dipping sauce is sweet and had shredded carrots in it which really complemented the taste! My husband ordered the Yang Chow Fried Rice and loved it! The veggies were chopped so fine and it melted in your mouth. This is his favorite fried rice so far! I ordered the Special Beef Pho and is was perfect! Just the right amount of spice as well as the right temperature hot too. When we finished eating we were given two fortune cookies. We will definitely be back to try something new and we highly recommend you give this restaurant a try. read more

Great Vietnamese food. Best egg rolls around. Also recommend the Walnut Shrimp and Lemongrass Chicken. BYOB makes it very affordable.

Could have been a lot better. It seems like it's supposed to be authentic but unfortunately that doesn't mean it's always good. Luong Loi is one of the Asian places in downtown Wheaton. Basically it's a nice looking place but the food lacks for flavor. The prices are okay if high on a few things. Came in for a stop at lunch after doing things around here. It doesn't have a big dining room which makes it seem busier than it actually is. The service always makes it seem like it's busy though. Has a few lunch specials to choose from. The one I got was the Bean Thread Noodles With Mixed Vegetables. It's $10 for a decent amount. This is about the only vegetarian item on the entire menu. It was kind of plain and there was almost cold cabbage. This wasn't filling and I was hungry soon after leaving. Has this pretty bland food. It's also such extremely slow service. There's hardly anything for vegetarians. read more

Their lunch special is the best deal in downtown Wheaton!

This is my first, and perhaps, my only review I will leave on Yelp. So, for me to do so, It would have to be an instance where the experience, was unsatisfactory, to say the least. After a decades old chinese restaurant closed, FU YUAN in Wheaton, I found myself looking for a new place to go. I ordered Mongolian beef, among other items, from Luong Loi, to bring home to my family. I picked up the items, brought straight to my home. I opened up the items, specifically, the Mongolian beef, and noticed "a morsel" in terms of there being any beef. I tried to not let it bother me, and proceeded, along with my family, to eat some of the other items ordered. The next day, on the way home from work, I always drive thru downtown Wheaton, passing Luong Loi, and decided to stop in, to let them know my experience. I made a point several times, to say, I am not asking for a refund, or a free meal. I wanted to let them know my disappointment. To my suprise, they denied my claim, and persisted in telling me what I saw in my takeout container the other day. They refused to accept it, to own it. The person I was talking too, and then the chef from the back came out, then they began to have a heated discussion, to put it mildly, in their native tongue, about the situation. I made sure, to always talk in a calm, manner, as there was a couple of patrons at the establishment. I can estimate about 5 minutes of conversation, and all rebuffing my claim. Again, I did not want anything from it, expect, simply an acknowledgment, of the truth. read more

Great customer service. Servers were very attentive. Beef pho was phenomenal. Reasonable prices

I'm surprised to see people complaining about a lack of vegetarian options; I checked the menu and there are at least 10-12 different dishes, even assuming you don't customize anything. If you are vegetarian/vegan, a quick look at the online menu in conjunction with the paper one may help; sometimes there is information about what kind of broth, etc. (or you can just ask). For example, online it looks like the vegetable noodle soup may not be a vegetable broth (worth asking; their vegetable soup was very good when I had it years ago). This will also give you ideas for how to customize your order (add tofu, fried or non? add extra vegetables?). I hadn't been here since this place moved across the street. There's more room here and it's a little more upscale. The coffee is French press (!), for example. Sadly there are no vegetarian dumplings or pot stickers (and it looks like no vegetarian pho, though I'll ask next time), though they were willing to make me a spring roll with no meat. With some help from the online menu (what is chow fun?) I got the coffee with condensed milk (basically a Thai coffee) and vegetable chow fun, a fried noodle dish with vegetables and customized to add extra fried tofu. My dining companion ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken on rice, I think; the dish was pretty enough when it arrived that she apologized and took a picture. Food was very tasty; there was a fantastic char on the thick rice noodles and the customized spring roll was nice if a bit plain. I left thinking I need to drag the spouse here. It's something different from your average Thai place and certainly a step up from Americanized Chinese. read more

Went on Chinese new year. Everything was delicious and service was great. Atmosphere was clean and welcoming.

Night before, my dad and I had spent a jillion dollars for a really meh meal at the fancy-pants upstairs restaurant across the street. It was pretty, but that's about it. We spent literally just over 1/3 as much for dinner AND lunch the next day here at Luong Loi. Much, much better value and the food was terrific. I had the egg foo young, which was familiar - yet not. I love the eggy pancakes with brown gravy that are ubiquitous at Chinese take-out places. This one had a similar pancake, a little different, but with a whole different sauce, more sweet-and-sour, but not blindingly sugary like some. EVEN BETTER. GET THAT. My dad had squid delight. No, squid is tender, sweet and mild, not rubbery or slimy like you've been told. The bite-sized little corrugated mollusk bits were delicious. The veggies were perfectly done, and the white sauce was mild but truly tasty and interesting, not like the over-thickened under-spiced stuff you sometimes get at those same take-out places. Get that, too. Mmmm. The store is very clean and attractive, even just a little Wheaton fancy (just a little - don't dress up!). Service is very good. We sat near the door on a VERY cold evening and felt nary a draft. And there was a cute cute cute little girl and her tired mom at the table next to us. They got sympathetic service from the staff, even when the little girl decided it was time to GO right when their food arrived and dine-in suddenly turned into take-out, QUICKLY before any tiny-girl emotional explosions took place. Resulted in a relieved and grateful young mom with a snuggly daughter and a bag of yummy dinner brought home. Nice job, restaurant staff! Great value for great food. Go there. read more

Wanted to try this place because it's nearby where I live, but I wouldn't recommend this place if you want authentic pho or Vietnamese food. The pho's broth didn't have much of a flavor and it was too overpowering with cinnamon. The rice noodles were also over cooked. The wings were very small and and was honestly kind of salty. read more
