    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.

    Pork and Shrimp pancakes.   So fresh!

    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!

    This place is amazing. The food is delicious. It's family owned and so friendly. Literally because they are so sweet we come here often. The only thing better than the kind service is that the food is soooo delicious and affordable!! Do yourself a favor and come enjoy some delicious.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Spring Roll. Deliciously fresh.

    How hard is it to find a parking space at lunch?

    Usually fine during the week day. Maybe more challenging on the weekend but there is a parking garage a couple blocks away

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes order something with bean thread noodles. They're available with chicken, vegetables, or beef.

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.

There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.

The halal chicken Pho is delicious and packed with a generous amount of chicken, the shrimp pancake was delicious and the dipping sauce along side was perfect. The shrimp fried rice had larger pieces of shrimp and more than other places we've had it. The carryout ordering was super easy and our meal was packed nicely. I recommend the extra veggies and extra fried tofu as it is a really nice accompaniment to the chicken pho. The only small drawback is to be sure to order the pancake when you're dining in. The bottom gets soft when they pack it for carryout which can't be helped. It's still very delicious but prefer it there I'd still give it a 10!

    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.
