Not the greatest pho that I've ever had, but I give extra credit for a surprisingly passable pho inside a non-Asian shopping mall. As expected, the meat offered is fully cooked and the options offered aren't too adventurous. With that said though, the amount of noodles and meat provided is quite generous, they offer beat sprouts, jalapenos, lime, cilantro, scallion, and onion -- though I didn't find any basil in the dish. The broth wasn't the most complex, but was still surprisingly flavorful -- more so than some options outside of the mall. Service wasn't the fastest, but it didn't take unreasonably long to serve the food after ordering from the kiosk. Though not exactly the greatest Vietnamese food, the large portion size and fairly good flavor (for mall noodles) make this an option I'd get again when I'm in Woodfield. read more

My husband and I went to Pho Cafe for dinner on a Tuesday night. I was nervous about getting pho at a mall. But we decided to try it anyway. We ordered the House Special Pho (rare beef, shank beef, tripe, beef tender, meat ball, bean sprout, onion, cilantro, scallion). This was much fresher and flavorful than I thought it would be and much better than shopping mall pho should be. The soup had a good flavor and the many beefs all tasted good. It wasn't the best pho I've ever had but it was still pretty tasty. Since this was a success, I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. I recommend Pho Cafe. read more

I was pleasantly surprised about this place. Usually with mall food courts, the food is a mere convenience, and less about taste. Pho Cafe was actually good. I ordered the chicken pho and it came with ample chicken. They give you a small paper basket of bean sprouts, Jalapeños, mint, and lime. I usually like a boatload of bean sprouts, but that's extra here. The broth was very flavorful and I really enjoyed my pho. Pho real yo. read more

For food court Pho, the taste was pretty good. They use a touch payment screen much like a newer technology type restaurants use so you can see the pictures of what your buying a customized items you may or may not want. Pho kept me full and was a standardized price for pho. Also ordered a Thai ice Thai which was good. Would come again. read more

Pho in Woodfield- alright! This place did not disappoint despite being in a food court. My dad had the house special. You can see the and taste the quality. The rare cuts of beef was rare the meatballs were tasty it even came with trip - now that's authentic! read more

Pho Cafe - customers ordering food at the counter - Vietnamese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Broth was tasteless and very thin. Service slow and rude. $25 for a 1 bowl of pho and a drink. Don't throw your money away.

Wow very pleasantly surprised! I figured I would go in with low expectations since this place is inside the mall and there aren't many pho places in the area near me and the places around the schaumburg area are 3 stars. I ordered the special and was honestly disappointed when I first saw how small the portion size seemed to be for the price. But there were a ton of noodles and they definitely did not skimp out on the meat. I also usually don't like The Asian style meatballs but these tasted so good!! Broth was flavorful but a little greasy. I still really enjoyed it! Service is great and cashier is super friendly.. I am definitely coming back! read more

Just opened in the Woodfield Shopping center food court. It's a quick place to stop to get your Pho fix. We had the Spring Rolls, which only had Shrimp and no Pork in them. They were fresh and tasty with three shrimp in each. The sauce was a little on the sweet hoisin side, but was good. We ordered the Chicken Pho and I have to admit, it was good. At first I thought it was going to be a Chicken soup and not a Pho, but it is a hybrid of both. When you pick up your Pho, the bowls seem deceptively small, but theis quite a bit of soup in the order. The two small problems with the meal was the side vegetables, namely the Basil, was a tiny flowertop and a couple of leafs and the other is the plastic spoons were tablespoons, they need the bigger Asian spoons. All in all, a very pleasant surprise on a hot summer's day! read more

Pho Cafe - the front of the restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Have gone to Pho Cafe may times and loved the food UNTIL TODAY, Orders usually took approx. 10 minutes, today we waited 30 minutes for cold soup. when asked the supposed manager lady claimed it is what it is very snarky and unapologetic. we asked for a refund, we advised her of previous experiences and the possibility of posting new long wait times and refund policy. Again very unprofessional snarky response and we were asked to move on because a customer was waiting. Hope this shop will not go out of business but with such ugly behavior and practices who knows. Lady please wake up and change your attitude and learn about customer service. read more

I've ordered Pho from multiple places, this is not my first rodeo. I have NEVER EVER received Pho with TRIPE in it let alone 4 pieces of it!! Let me back up. Their Thai iced tea was absolutely phenomenal!! I would return strictly for that if I were already in the mall. Their chicken on the other hand hand the strangest gritty texture I have ever felt in my 29 years. The color was an off whitish and tasted like cardboard. Ok so unseasoned, that's fine. But the texture was not somthing I could get past. Now onto the real issue. The tripe... who serves food with multiple pieces of an animals stomach lining in it? It takes a lot to turn my stomach. Like A LOT. Like I did my clinical's in the corners office... I immediately had to throw the meal away. The smell also when I pulled that piece out of the broth was enough. read more

The worst place I've ever ordered fast food from literally one hour to a bowl of noodles and a spring roll. Very up disappointed didn't eat any more how disgusting the service was. And for it to be quick they have kiosk for better service but was worse. I wouldn't recommend this place if it was the only place in the mall. read more

Pho Cafe - Worse noodles ever! - Vietnamese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Wow. Who would have thought that pho in a mall can be so good! Before mixing the basil, jalepeno, and sriracha, I tasted the broth and I instantly knew that it took time to make. Later I read the description at the storefront to confirm that the broth simmers all day long. Had the house special pho and spring rolls. Spring rolls were decent. Pho hit the spot and was truly the star. Smidge pricy for a food court restaurant but authenticity and the non-fast-food feeling that it gives you justifies it. I'll be back to try other menu items no doubt. read more

I am not the biggest connoisseur of vietnamese food, but I do enjoy it. I have two kids under 8 though so I don't get a lot of chances. That said. I have had it a few times and this was comparable. Good flavor, meat was tender, portion was huge. I had the rare beef pho and egg rolls. Didn't love the egg rolls but I ate the pho until I couldn't eat any more. All the ingredients seemed fresh and tasty. Really can't complain for mall food court food. read more

Really Good Clean Pho Spot for being in the mall. Didn't wait long for it and family enjoyed it. Can be abit pricey but also worth it as it can be really filling. Chai Iced tea and chai iced coffee were good. Will stop by again when shopping. read more

The best pho in the Chicagoland area. If you are at or near Woodfield mall, do yourself a favor and please get a bowl. It really is much better than the $16 bowls of pho we get downtown. At $11 it's a steal, and it is filling and healthier than most of your other food court options. I could tell that the broth is made with care, it's very complex and flavorful. My husband and I both love the Bun Bo Hue Pho the best. It's heavenly. read more

Pho Cafe - Small menu but the food is done very well! - Vietnamese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I usually have my phone homemade but this was still pretty good. Ours is usually a little sweeter. My cousin was super full after a $10 bowl. I like that they separate everything and give you the soup on the side. We ate this there but I think it would transport well. I was surprised by the different kinds of meat too - even tripe! Noodles were a little soft. read more

I was hesitate to try this place but glad I did. Don't knock on pho from the mall. This is a great surprise and addition to the food court. The broth is amazing and the portion size huge. read more

As a resident in Southern California, I was very surprised to find a good Vietnamese restaurant in the midwest. I ordered Hose Special Pho. They gave generous portion of meats, and the soup was delicious! Will certainly visit there again when I visit the midwest. read more

pho wasn't that great. All I gotta say is Check your online order receipt amount and make sure when u pick it up they tell you the correct amount. They over charged me and I couldn't get it back & the lady called and cussed me out told me I couldn't do that. read more

Pho is great. However, they close one hour or more earlier all the time! I come there after work and they are always closed

Let me start off with the soup cause they have a flavorful one. i think the side could be better and the serving could be bigger. It is a fast food kind of stall and so if you want a sit down restaurant for your pho with better presentation and utensils, there are others out there. read more

disappointing to say the least. food was disgusting, tried to ret a refund but manager was very dismissive and condescending. dont waste your money read more

get a kiosk, the female server is so rude, no wonder this place is always empty when other places are packed with customers.

I had some yummy House Special Pho last night. The nice hot soup is always great when it's chilly outside! Thanks Pho Cafe!

Giant tasty spring rolls and for a great price. Chicken pho was on point, lots of tender chicken breast pieces, delicious broth and a ton of noodles to share in the bomb meal. To top it off they're in the mall... Open a store front and make it a destination. read more

Good Pho..wife got the raw beef..the broth was very authentic and nice flavor. You get a lot of food for the price..

We stopped by the food court to check out the latest options and were so happy to find a Pho restaurant! The better surprise is how delicious the Pho was. As someone who always goes to Lawrence and Argyle for Pho; was so pleased with the delicious Pho Special! read more

Pho tai had wonderful broth and a generous portion of meat. Been to all the pho places in the northwest and west suburbs and honestly I think this might be my new favorite. Wish they had larger spoons for broth but otherwise a solid bowl of pho! read more
