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.
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.
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.
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.
great prices ($14.95 for a big bowl of pho), quick service, and really great pho! the broth is smooth and quite beefy, and they are generous with their meat. i will definitely be coming back here.
Always love coming here to get our pho fix, it just gets the job done. You order via the kiosk and you don't have to wait too long for your entree. The mango smoothie is the absolute best and highly recommend! Prices are reasonable and tables are all first come, first serve.
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.
food: good flavors but not super authentic viet, good portions for the price though, banh mi was good Service: staff was fine Ambiance: not a great sit down place, better to get takeout or delivery
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.
Self service spot - quick and easy! Great tasting pho and great portion size! Spring rolls were fresh, and had plenty of filling. I will be back 100%
We've been craving good, authentic pho especially since we came back from Vietnam! This place was sooo good. Order up at the kiosk at the front and food was brought out quickly. The place was clean and spacious. Huge portions as well! Street parking available.
They added a bulgogi banh mi. It's so good. I love the happy vibes here. The owner is very kind.
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. They are also really kind and have brought my order out to me when I had my dog with me before. It's a really good neighborhood spot. And while the food is all a 8-9/10, the service makes this a 10/10
Additionally tried the Banh Mi Combo, and it was excellent-- among the top banh mis in Chicago. The bread is nice and airy, with a good ratio of mayo to filling. The meats were very tender and flavorful, and the order also comes with fries that are crispy and thick cut. read more
What a treat this was! I can honestly say this was the best Pho I have had. So, let me get into it! The food was amazing! I order the spring rolls and a pho. The spring rolls were one of the better ones I have had. The pho was the best tasting pho I have had. You could tell how much time they put into making the broth. I can honestly say it is the best Pho in the state of Illinois! All the ingredients were fresh and it made you want to keep eating. The service was okay. I felt the kiosk took away from the authenticity of traditional Vietnamese places. And one didn't know when there order was up since it was hard to hear if one's name was called. The atmosphere was great I like the spacing of the tables and how it was too loud that you could talk to one's party and not have to worry about other people. Overall, I will say give MK noodle pho a try if you want one of the best PHO broths in the city / state! read more

Amazing service and food! They have 2 kiosks to order food and drinks. Came with a friend and ordered so so much food and all of it was delicious. They have your classic banh mi's and pho but also banh xeo which can be tough to find at other Vietnamese restaurants. They also have smoothies and milk teas and of course Viet coffee. They also offered us some hot tea with our meal. The food is some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. Ingredients are clean and fresh, food was so flavorful, I wanted to keep eating but had to stop we were getting so stuffed. I highly recommend this place for some excellent Vietnamese food! read more

Most flavorful pho I've ever had! My friend introduced this place to me and it's a bit far but I will be back :) thai iced tea was also excellent read more
The bun shrimp and chicken bowl could have easily been portioned to two servings. Did I scarf down the entire bowl? I sure did. The chicken was tender and well marinated and the entire dish hit the spot coming off of a sake tasting that I had gone to earlier that day. The portions are ginormous, food is tasty, and the menu as a whole is moderately priced and won't break your wallet. read more

Mk noodle is probably my most frequented restaurant at this point. It's delicious, fresh, efficient and friendly. As a vegetarian they are extremely accommodating imo! I've had the tofu banh mi (comes with fries- VERY good price and the fries are fantastic), veggie pho (very good-probably my 2nd favorite only behind sunset pho), veggie delight w tofu, pad see ewe, and their bun soy chicken and tofu bowl. The latter is my most frequently ordered and I crave it! Portions are FANTASTIC and it's always fresh! The ambiance is comfortable and clean and there's usually plenty of seating. I usually go solo and eat at the 'bar' area (smoothie/coffee/tea bar) but I often see larger families enjoying a meal so there's room for everyone. Please enjoy and support this business. read more

Really really good pho, as good as what you can find in Argyle! I'm so happy that this place opened up in Lakeview and now I don't have to travel so far up north to get my pho fix. We ordered the combo pho set and it was delicious! It does have tripe in it so if you're not as used to that you can ask for that to be removed or just take it out. I recommend squeezing in generous amounts of lime juice and adding some sriracha to your soup to amplify the taste. Perfect for the cold winter time in Chicago! read more

A recently opened Vietnam place in lakeview. My friends have gone here before and decided to go again after a night out. Whenever they bring me along I just expect mediocre pho and nothing more. I can eat it, but it reminds me nothing like homemade pho or ones in west coast or even Vietnam. MK gave me hope there could be amazing pho in Chicago. They call you to pick up your order and you place your tray away once you're finished. All my friends got an avocado smoothie as well which looked tasty! Pho: rich. Flavorful. Good portion. It is exactly what I expect when I eat pho. I finished the whole bowl including the soup. I couldn't let me money go to waste. 8.5/10 (not my highest but I don't think I'll be going to another place for pho anytime soon) It is expensive in my eyes for a bowl of pho, but I am willing to pay for it knowing how great it taste for a place in Chicago. read more
Decent Vietnamese food in Chicago. Saw that this place had a five-star rating and decided to give it a go, because I love Vietnamese food! You can order at a self serve touch screen kiosk or at the counter. If you pay cash, you get 10% off. The interior is still a work in progress: looks like there are some half-finished murals on the wall. They didn't have napkins, just rolls of paper towels that you help yourself to. Also a couple self serve water pitchers. Of course, superficial stuff can be forgiven if the food is good... I ordered the pho brisket and the bun shrimp vermicelli bowl with pork. The pho brisket was tasty--it was a large portion, the broth had good flavor, and there was a generous portion of beef. I would order this one again. The vermicelli bowl was okay. They used pho noodles in place of actual vermicelli, which is a much thinner noodle. And most importantly, there was a piece of pretty raw pork in the bun vermicelli noodle bowl. We let the staff know, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. Will I be coming back soon? Probably not! Don't want to bite into a piece of medium rare pig again. But I did enjoy having a big bowl of pho on a cold winter's night. That was comforting. read more
What a great addition to the neighborhood! It's so nice to be able to get some decent Vietnamese food without having to trek to Argyle. We popped in on a Wednesday night around 7pm for dinner. When you enter there are kiosks directly to your left where you'll place your order. We sat down to wait for our food. While we were waiting, we overheard an employee telling a customer you can get your food gluten free if you ask up front. Once our food came we were surprised and impressed by the portions. The 2 spring rolls were big and filled with more lettuce than noodles. For $6.95 I felt like this was a pretty good deal. My fiancé got the Bun Egg Roll & Pork ($13.95), which came out in a big metal bowl. He said it was pretty good and even after eating his fill had a decent amount of leftovers. The interior had a no frills feel similar to what you'd get in a Vietnamese restaurant in Argyle. Water is self serve. Overall I was impressed and am glad to have this kind of place in the neighborhood. We'll be back regularly as this isn't too far from our place. If you get a Vietnamese food craving, highly recommend giving MK NOODLE PHO a try! read more

Nice little spot, usually not too crowded when I go and always satisfies my craving for pho. You order everything on a kiosk and wait for them to call your name which is fine with me. The workers are usually friendly but I find that the boba can be a hit or miss sometimes. I always get the chicken pho and after adding a few sauces it's always very good. The crab rangoon is a safe choice as well! read more

Nice family owned Vietnamese restaurant in Lakeview. Fast East touch screen ordering even when paying in cash ( discounts for paying cash). Shrimp Bahn mi was nice and flavorful on dood bread with crisp veggies. Also had the fried shrimp rolls and fried dumplings both were tasty with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. read more

I really wish this spot was open when I used to work in the area bc it is very legit pho!! So good! You order on a machine when you first walk in, super quick and convenient, then they call your number out when your food and drinks are ready. The pho was seriously as good as the pho youd get on Argyle St, so were the fresh spring rolls. I also loved my green tea smoothie w tapioca. I'll def be back! The owner was so nice and friendly. Parking on this part of Lincoln is usually pretty easy, which is nice, it's pay to park. read more
Top spot for me and I'm so happy it's in my neighborhood, so I've had quite a few things. A gem. My favorite taro milk tea ever, no joke. Delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the food here. Chicken bahn mi is a go-to, crab rangoons delicious, pot stickers on point, and bun shrimp noodle dish is another favorite of mine. Their pho is also fantastic. Owner is absolutely lovely. read more

I got the pad Thai and a side of pho noodles and a side of broth. Created my own soup and it wasn't great, but the pad Thai was the best pad Thai I've ever had in the city (which says a lot, I order it every week). read more

Good neighborhood spot ! Called ahead to order pick up and they said 2 phos on Friday night would be 20-25 mins. It was ready right at the 20min mark which is great! Gave them cash which is around 10% off , fantastic! The steak came in little baggies and they gave instructions to reheat the soup and pour it over the noodles Not the best pho of my life i.e. soup is not super rich nor noodles not chewy enough. but satisfies my cravings especially being around the neighborhood+walking distance Lots of beef and the tripe was thinly cut. and they gave me the extra bean sprout and basil leaves that I love! read more
Experience: Once you come in, you are directed to order through the kiosk which is very convenient. Then afterwards, you sit anywhere you desire. Plenty seats available. On a Friday afternoon, with a party of two, we are able to find seat fairly quickly. Once seated, we were able to receive our order in a matter of minutes. Excellent service. Parking: Unfortunately, it appears that majority of parking is paid meter. However, it seems parking is fairly easy to find. When it comes to free spots, good luck. Worth: THE STAFF IS AMAZING. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. We had the taro milk tea (tasted delicious), BBQ Bahn Mi (Bread was so soft and THEY SERVE IT WITH FRIES) and we also had a new bowl item, which was great too! Definitely will come back. read more

Customer service was very good however the restaurant is rather dirty and seems to be in a state of disrepair. We unfortunately found a dying cockroach on the floor of the dining room next to our table. Furthermore, the bathrooms were very dirty and I was not a fan of the slop bucket at the bussing counter where we had to throw our liquids. Also, my Vietnamese coffee was overly bitter (yes I know robusta beans are bitter, but this was next level bitter). read more

This wonderful restaurant is located in lakeview. I used to work in this area but I haven't been in the neighborhood in awhile and wanted to try something new. I love Viet food, as I'm also Vietnamese soo had to stop by and try! You do have to pay for street parking but honestly it's soo worth it. They have two convenient kiosks for ordering. If you pay cash there's a 10% discount too. Lots of seating. Friendly staff. Food came out quick and was delicious! The bread for my banh mi was so soft and yummy and it came with FRIES. Such a nice touch haha. The taro milk tea was soo creamy and yummy too. I got it with strawberry popping boba. All around everything was great. Playing great K-pop music too. Would def come back when I'm back in the area! read more
Ok Mk Noodle, I wish you were around when I grew up in Lakeview so I didn't have to drive all the way to Argyle to get authentic Vietnamese food! Whenever I visit my parents in the city or if I'm craving pho (which is all the time) I will be ordering pho and other dishes to take back to Deerfield because your food is that good and worth the drive! I ordered from Mk Noodle on a whim unsure what to expect because many people commented they weren't sure how authentic the pho was. I'm not Vietnamese BUT I've had my fair share of pho from here, Houston, LA, SF and NYC and this place is legit. Their broth had deep flavors and I didn't need to add anything to it because it was that good. You can really tell they cook their broth for a really long time to get that depth of flavor, it's nothing instant. I ordered a rare steak/tripe pho with extra noodles, shrimp and pork spring rolls and the beef with mushroom entree. The spring rolls are fresh and fat, the beef with mushroom was flavorful and for the price I thought everything had good portions. The pho was packaged so neatly, the rare meat was even in its own ziploc bag to not bleed into the noodles. Do yourself a favor and order extra noodles, maybe even some extra broth. I had the leftovers the next day and wish I had ordered at least an extra small broth. I ordered online on a weekday around 1pm. They are busy so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to order. I think it took at least 30 minutes for my pick up to be ready but the wait was so worth it. There were a good number of people dining in the restaurant and I was jealous and drooling as they picked up their trays of food! read more
