    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!

    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!

    Worse noodles ever!

    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.

    Tripe in pho

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Small menu but the food is done very well!

    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.

    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.

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!

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.

We ordered the same soup the small eye round steak Pho soup. They give you a little plate of garnish on the side there were bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, Basil on the stems, and limes. The soup itself had the meat and green onions diced in the broth. The soup was hot but not too hot to eat temperature-wise. Our waitress was really nice but it took her at least 10 minutes to wait on us. There was a lot of people dining in tonight. The restaurant's very clean and there's plenty of seating. The restaurant is always comfortable not too hot not too cold. I highly recommend you come here and give it a try. They have several different soup options, noodle dinners, appetizees, and sandwiches. They even have lunch specials Monday through Friday (non-holidays). My husband really likes the bubble teas. Will be coming again soon.

I ordered the special pho (#19), which comes with thinly sliced rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, cilantro, and onions. I also got the BBQ pork banh mi. The pho was pretty solid. However, I was disappointed with the banh mi. It looked quite different from the menu photo, which, of course, I understand that menu items are created to look their best and don't always come out the same, but this sandwich ended up looking more like a carrot sandwich, and I'm not a fan of carrots. There was only a thin slice of BBQ pork, and the bread was too doughy. The proportions felt off overall, and it was honestly my least favorite banh mi I've tried. I took a bite and ended up giving the rest to a friend who took it home. If I'm in the area, I'd come back for the pho.

So far I tried Mr A's across the street for breakfast and it's a hit or miss it's good on certain dishes like the pancakes but not the French toast. This is my first time trying this Vietnamese place across the street and it seems pretty clean I did try to come here but you have to come here Wednesday through Sunday and I came on a Monday or Tuesday and they were closed. Right now this is my opportunity trying them and so far it's been a quaint and ambience on the declar if they're playing soft jazz music. So far service was pretty quick. Instead of the typical traditional Vietnamese summer or spring rolls I went for the Chinese side which they had shrimp shumai which is more dim sum I just ordered one it was okay. I ordered the pho with the beef tendon and it was a meh ok. I think it could have been a little more flavorful with their pho broth but it wasn't bland either. Needs more cinnamon. What's also unique was the fact that they kept their soup spoons and their regular spoons and chopsticks in this wooden box and then another peculiarity was you had to get the condiments of basil chili pepper bean sprouts and lime up in a tray versus for them to bring it to you. The line in the basil didn't seem that fresh which is why I was a little disappointed other than that it was okay. I don't know if I would come here more often but there are other places I tried that are Vietnamese in which the pho had more flavor and was better. I probably would come here for their dim sum

My mom is a vegetarian so this was definitely a surprise and ideal option! 5) Bun Dau Mam Tom - This can be a mess to wrap the fried tofu, steamed pork, rice noodles, and shrimp paste in lettuce. Everything went well together and the shrimp paste has a slight kick to it. 6) Soft shell crab fried rice - The soft shell crab is crunchy and came with a generous portion of fried rice.

The baguettes held up really well for our home-made sandwiches.
