One of my go to Vietnamese restaurants. It's mainly self service. I recommend the vermicelli bowls, pho, and spring rolls. The spring rolls are pricy but worth it for the size and quality. The portions are huge! You order at the kiosk. You can also pay in cash for a discount. Always friendly and quick service. The food travels well for take out orders too. read more

I have been here so many times - this is a local place that has delicious bahn mi's (and the fries that come with are perfectly crispy) and my favorite pad see ew in town. I've had their beef pho once and that was also super delicious and the Thai tea is solid. Also, they give a 10% discount if you pay in cash. read more

I got to come here on a Friday night. It was 8:30pm. When you first walk in, you'll see the ordering machines. Then after you order, seat yourself anywhere that's open. My friend and I secured our seat first while we waited for people to finish ordering. Once there was an open machine, we order two pho and one spring roll. We also got an additional bowl of noodle and soup since one of our friends ate dinner earlier. We also ordered two Thai teas. To start, the Thai teas were the perfect ratio. It had the sweetness and you can still taste the tea. Afterwards, we waited for them to call our name so we can grab our food. They don't seem to go in the order that you ordered so keep that in mind. Two other tables who ordered after us got their food first. Once we got our food and took our pictures, we started to eat. Overall, the food was tasty and correctly portioned. I'm glad I took the risk to come to the pho place I googled! I will be coming back. read more

I've been on a pho kick lately everyone since fall started. I was in the neighborhood and saw this place had stellar reviews so I said, why not check it out? I ordered the pork spring rolls and steak/brisket/meatball pho. The pork spring rolls were soo good and huge! I definitely had to take 2 home cause the order comes with 4 rolls. The crispy pork inside was well seasoned with a light sweetness. Highly recommend. The pho was fantastic! The broth was superrrr flavorful and really hit the spot. I got to see the owner engage with her customers. She greeted everyone and was so kind and grateful to everyone for dining at her restaurant. She had great energy and hospitality! So I understand why her food is cherished within the neighborhood. read more

I got a bun shrimp which was really good. The shrimp were well seasoned. The spring rolls were also pretty standard/good. I'd go back to try their pho and other menu items. They have a couple kiosks which is convenient. Also, it's a 10% discount if you pay with cash. Crew was really nice and there's a decent amount of seating. read more

We walked in and ordered at the kiosk and you seat yourself. The food came out quickly and they call your name. The banh mi was alright didn't have that much flavor and was a little cold. The Banh xeo or Vietnamese crepe was crispy and good. Not like other crepe I have, they grill their pork. It could have included more lettuce for us to wrap it in but overall this was good. We also got their avocado smoothie with boba which brings me back to my childhood. The ambiance inside is pretty nice and cute and only two tables by the window. read more

I love the outside signage and logo! It's very catchy and sleek designed. The food, VERY fresh and tasty. Prepared nicely and portions are generous. The peanut sauce was a nice complement to the fresh basil and cold noodles in the spring roll wrap. So good. The Vietnamese Cold Coffee was also delicious. Yes, Authentic! I couldn't tell the difference if I was in Vietnam or not. So excellent with the quality. I thought it would be nice to return and try their Pho, as it looks like that is their Hot #1 Seller. I would like to see them maybe spruce the place up a bit and just streamline it . Clean it and get rid of the "clutter". The chairs don't match and theirs odd placement of different decorations that don't match together. So simple to just clean that up and make it "fresh look", to match the Amazing Food & the Outside Sign. Both of those were awesome. I like that you can order at the kiosk. Again, strange decorations all around the kiosk. This place could get 5 stars soon I think. Either way- good food, nice people. Easy to locate. Marshfield Ave & Lincoln Ave, Lakeview Neighborhood. Mid block. East side of Lincoln Ave. across from Chicago Music Exchange. You must go and check the out, thank me later. Park Chicago App to park outside or CTA available read more

There are a couple kiosks on the wall in the front to place your order. You can pay with card or if you pay in cash at the counter, it's 10% off total order. The food came out fairly quickly. The pho was good, broth was savory. I also ordered the pad thai dish which was alright - could use more flavor. The staff is friendly, restaurant was clean. Although we enjoyed our meal, I wouldn't recommend the drinks there. None of our drinks tasted right - it was either watered down, or not enough flavor. Paid street parking. We came late in the evening so we had no issue there. read more

Mk Noodle - 17. Banh Mi Sesame Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Checking off the list for MK noodle's steak Pho featured on some of the best pho places in Chicago. Haven't had pho in a while but thought it was fairly standard. The broth is very simple and the steak wasnt as rare I normally like. After a few bites, it lacks the beefy depthness I've come to enjoy from a good pho. I was surprised to see fries when I order the banh mi. The sandwich is nicely filled and the pickled daikon/carrots are very good. Think I'd opt for the sandwich for taste and value. MK Noodle is self checkout whether you dine in or order take out. Your name is called to pick up and you bus your own tray. I do like this concept. Do note, take out has a fee (forgot what it is, maybe around $2). They have water stations and old magazines where you seat yourself. read more

I may be biased because it is conveniently close to my apartment but it is insanely delicious, very fast, and makes great takeout. I love that they have really good pho, bahn mi, and bubble tea.

And while the food is all a 8-9/10, the service makes this a 10/10 read more

Mk Noodle - 28. Pho Steak, Brisket and Meat Ball Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

MK Noodle Pho is one of my favorite vietnamese restaurants in Chicago! The ambiance is very casual, kind of like a cafe vibe. You order from some self service kiosks up front and they'll call your name out. Their Banh Xeo with shrimp/pork is massive and delicious. It always comes with a lot of fresh greens and tasty fish sauce. I don't see banh xeo offered at many restaurants, and I think people may not be familiar with it. It's like a large crepe/pancake with turmeric for color and it's stuffed with bean sprouts, pork and shrimp. The batter is slightly sweet from the coconut milk. It comes with lettuce, mint, Thai basil, carrots, and cucumbers. Usually you rip a large piece of lettuce, load it with veggies, a portion of banh xeo and then dip it into the fish sauce. This is one of my favorite vietnamese dishes because it's so fresh and savory. It's listed as an appetizer but you can definitely eat it as an entree. FYI it can be a bit messy but so delicious. The shrimp spring rolls are delicious and massive too. It comes with a peanut dipping sauce. The pho is really good too, I enjoyed their ribeye pho with the house chili oil that's on each table. The broth is seasoned well, and made by cooking beef bones for 7 hours (per WGN news article/video). The ribeye is a bit more premium cost but I think it's worth it, it's very tender with the perfect proportion of meat to fat in each bite. And their house chili oil goes great with all of these dishes, it has a lot of flavor but it's not too spicy. The banh mi BBQ pork is everything I want in a banh mi, perfectly cooked BBQ pork and pork belly, crispy baguette, tasty mayo/pate, plenty of pickled carrots and daikon, and it even comes with fries! If you don't like cilantro you can ask for no cilantro. The owner is really nice and can help accommodate any food restrictions when possible. I've been here about 7 times and the food is consistently good! read more

Mk Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

MK noodle was recently featured though our local news and the review made me want to try this place out. The pho brisket is very good and I love their Banh Xeo. Portions are huge and filling. Their ordering kiosk is to the left when you enter. Although the machines encourage cashless payments if you prefer to pay the traditional way (cash) just go straight back to the counters and place your order. The place is spacious and can easily seat 30. The restaurant is in a busy section of street in Roscoe Village and scoring a metered parking space down Lincoln avenue is hit or miss. Overall a nice place serving good Vietnamese food with prices on par with the neighborhood. read more

My go to for Pho, for Thai food and for boba. The owner is so friendly and hardworking. They have a new loyalty program which I'm definitely signing up for. I get the pad kee Mao but the spring rolls and pho are to die for too. read more

I was not a big fan of pho and didn't think I'd like it until someone told me to try it. I thought it was alright. But this location has me craving it all the time. It's super super delicious and perfect for this cold weather in Chicago. Best location in town read more

I haven't tried pho outside of Argyle in a long time and was hesitant to try this place, but this place was a surprise. We came in right when it opened at 11, and there was already someone placing an order. By the time we were done with our meal, the restaurant had filled up. You place an order when you enter on a machine. You have several options to modify your pho order such as adding more soup, noodles, removing cilantro, etc. When you pay cash, you get 10% off. My steak, brisket, tripe pho was delicious. The soup was refreshing and delicious. It didn't taste salty. It tasted similarly to a place I frequently visit in argyle. The bean sprouts and basil were fresh and looked clean. I would definitely come back to satisfy my pho cravings! read more

Pretty disappointed in the past couple of times I've been here. The most recent time I ordered take out and it was cold by the time I got it. The food is good but the service is not. read more

Loved my trip to MK noodle. When you walk in you're immediately hit in the face with the best smell of pho. The restaurant has tablets you can order on near the door, but they're also happy to take your order at the counter. The staff is very friendly, in the best way. The pho is very clean, very little oil on the surface. I would have loved a bit more flavor, but it's comparable flavor wise to Sunset. The meat is far better in my opinion. If you like crab rangoons, definitely be sure to get some, but fair warning-- they are HUGE. read more

Happy to find a great pho spot on the west side! I thought argyle & chinatown were the only places I could go for good pho but haply to find this in Roscoe Village. The set up is a self service kiosk to review the menu, order, & pay there. You find a seat & clean up after yourselves as well. The pho broth was rich & a great portion for $13.95. I would definitely come here again when I need a soup fix after a night of going out or to warm myself up to get through this winter weather. read more

Great neighborhood spot! The service is quick and easy. There's two big tablets you order your food and boba through. They will text/call your name whenever your food is ready. There's more than enough seating on the inside if you wanted to dine in. We got the mango and Thai tea bubble tea. It was delicious! The boba comes in one size in a larger glass. We also got the spring rolls and fried tofu. They both come with delicious sauces and both foods tasted so fresh. I'll definitely be back for the Banh mi! read more

Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food! As someone who grew up in a Vietnamese community in California, I miss the variety and quality of the foods I grew up with. With MK Noodle I get the comforts of home out here in Chicago! I've had takeout several times from here and each time it is so satisfying for my taste buds and my soul :) Highlights: - Banh Xeo (Vietnamese savory crepe): it's perfectly crispy, packed with flavorful marinated pork and lots of veggies, and comes with plenty of fish sauce on the side so you can drown in amazing flavor! - Spring rolls: I love how big these shrimp spring rolls are and all it's contents are so fresh and evenly distributed so every bite is perfect. The peanut sauce is so good and they also give you a good amount! Definitely recommend this spot and will keep coming back!! read more

The inside is very homey with a decent amount of seating. You can order on two machines but if you are in rush, I would order online as recommended by the woman who I am assuming is the owner. I got the chicken banh mi with fries and it was delish. Also a great price! Would def recommend and go again. The owner was also really sweet making conversation with people and trying to work quickly to fulfill orders. read more

The pho is authentic of course and up to SouthEast Asian standard for flavor. TAKE NOTE. This location is self serve. You will order from a large kiosk and get your own food when your name is called and are expected to take your dish to the used dish area.. don't expect Michelin restaurant service. You are there for the authentic dishes and taste. read more

Food was incredible! We had the combo and beef banhmi... meats were well seasoned! And it was a good-sized and filling sandwich. The fries were also perfectly crispy. We also had the combo pho; broth was rich. I wish we had more vegetables with the pho. Noodles were perfectly al dente and not soggy or over cooked. We didn't mind the counter service style and ordering on the kiosk. The people were also very kind and friendly! Will return soon! It's a cute restaurant and we loved the hand drawn pictures on the walls. read more

I order the Pho Tai here a lot. Some days it's some of the best pho I've had, some days it's pretty mid and bland. Whoever is prepping the broth on a good day needs a gold star I don't put any sauce or anything in it. It's a bummer that it's inconsistent! read more

One of my absolute favorite Pho places in Chicago. MK Noodles offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that is perfect for a bowl of comforting pho on a chilly Chicago day or after a long night out. I personally like ordering their Combo Pho so that you can try their various kinds of meats (I love their meatballs). What makes their pho so so delicious is their broth. Their broth is packed with flavor--not too sweet or salty. I seldom drink all of the broth in pho, but I always finish the broth at MK Noodle! If you're feeling really hungry, be sure to order a side of noodles! Besides their pho, be sure to try their HUGE Banh Mi sandwiches that are packed with meat and veggies. You can also try their boba teas--my personal favorite is the Taro Smoothie! Their boba teas always complement their dishes so well. Beyond their food, their service is quite fast; I never have to wait long for my food. In addition, MK Noodle's staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I was speaking to one of the staff members about her childhood in Vietnam, and it was such a pleasure to speak her. Highly, highly recommend! Note: Bring cash to get a discount! read more

Great Banh mi, tried all the varieties, love 'em all. Keep meaning to try other menu items, but that banh-mi.... Fast, only do pick up so can't speak to delivery. read more

Ok for the price. So think it's weird to be asked to tip when you self service literally everything and before you've even received your food. There was a scant amount of overcooked meat in my pho. I do like that it's a family type joint. The banh mi is not good. read more

Good food in a casual setting. I had the rice vermicelli noodles with shrimp and a side of egg rolls. Everything was fresh and the shrimp were nicely seasoned and cooked. My only complaint was that the fresh raw veggies in this dish tasted of wherever cleaning solution they're using on their cutting boards. I let the guy at the counter know and he was appreciative and let me know he'd pass it on to the kitchen, which is the right response. read more

Soooo good; wish I took a picture! I had the vermicelli bowl with pork & shrimp. The pork was perfectly marinated, succulent, and they didn't skimp on portions. The shrimp was also delicious, and everything was fresh and quick! You order from a kiosk on the side, so not really a table service place, but they are so friendly and sweet. I didn't actually try it, but someone's pad Thai came out near me and that also looked really yummy. read more

They have 2 mobile order machines by the door. You can order and pay cash at the register for 10% off. We ordered the pork bahnmi sandwich which came with fries and the pork and shrimp noodles. There's not a ton of seats, maybe 12 tables? It was basically packed when we got there at noon on a Saturday. Overall, the food was good but not the best that we have had and it is expensive due to the area. My bahnmi had a good amount of the pickled veggies which I loved but the mayo spread tasted weird to me. The fries were cold but still crispy on the outside. The pork in both dishes also was a little too fatty for my and my husband's liking. Our friends got their usually pho. read more
