    I want to point out that the hours on Yelp are not accurate. Sun, Tues-Thurs they close at 7:30 pm. Fri and Sat they close at 8:30 pm. I didn't take any pictures of the menu but you can find it online. Parking is pretty easy. They have a good amount of seating inside. Food portions are more than generous. We ordered banh xeo, grilled pork tenderloin & shrimp egg rolls bun rice noodles, and pho dac biet. Service was very decent. It's family owned and run by a Vietnamese family. When we came in, there were a lot of Vietnamese that ate there. This place is definitely legit. Prices were very fair. I would come back to try more items. -banh xeo 5 - this is a huge Vietnamese crepe. The skin is crispy and it's filled with pork and shrimp. You would eat it with the veggies and sauce. -grilled pork tenderloin & shrimp egg rolls bun rice noodles 5 - huge bowl. You get a plentiful amount of pork tenderloin pieces and two shrimp egg rolls. Meat is tender and flavorful. The noodles were slightly chewy. -pho dac biet 5 - broth was light and savory. The meat was tender. There were a good amount of noodles.

    I've been going to this place since the early 2000s. I've been through so many relationships and career changes, but this place has remained a constant in my life. My daughter and I come at least once a month, either for take out or dine in and the quality remains excellent. We always get the house special pho. My favorite remains the banh xeo (which I don't often see offered at other Vietnamese restaurants) and my daughter is partial to their spring rolls. Honorable mentions go to their Cornish hen which is always cooked to perfection. Can't recommend this place enough.

    I love this place but lately idk food has been lukewarm at best or straight cold. Service also is not as great. Food still tastes good but been disappointing overall the last few times

    Pho Ha is a very casual, cozy family owned Vietnamese restaurant. They have a parking lot out front with plenty of spaces. They have a wide variety of options and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the combination pho and the bahn xeo which were really good. The service is fast.

    Pho Ha Restaurant - A Phenomenal, Flavor-Packed Find Pho Ha absolutely hit the spot. It's the kind of Vietnamese restaurant that feels authentic the moment you sit down--casual, bustling, and focused on what matters most: deeply satisfying food with clean, layered flavors. What I Ordered - Egg rolls - Brisket pho - Iced Vietnamese coffee Food Highlights - Egg rolls: Golden and blistered with a shatter-crisp wrapper. The filling was savory and well-seasoned, and the nuoc cham dipping sauce had that perfect sweet-salty-tangy balance with a little garlic kick. Addictive. - Brisket pho: The broth was the star--clear yet full-bodied, aromatic with star anise and charred onion notes. The brisket slices were tender with just enough marbling to enrich the soup without feeling heavy. Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro), bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños were crisp and vibrant, letting you dial in your own brightness and heat. Every sip was comforting and deeply flavorful. - Iced Vietnamese coffee: Bold and smooth, the strong coffee stood up beautifully to the sweetened condensed milk. Over ice, it was balanced--dessert-like without being cloying. The perfect finish. Service and Atmosphere - Service was quick, friendly, and attentive without hovering. - The vibe is warm and lively--great for a casual meal, solo slurp, or an easy meet-up with friends. - Dishes arrived hot, fresh, and well-timed. Why It Works - Authentic flavors executed with care. - Thoughtful textures--crisp where you want crisp, silky where you want silky. - A broth that's clearly simmered with intention; it tastes like time and technique. Pro Tips - Taste the broth first before adding hoisin, chili paste, or lime--then adjust to your preference. - Ask for extra herbs if you love a brighter, more aromatic bowl. - Pair the egg rolls with fresh herbs and a splash of nuoc cham for the best bite. Verdict Phenomenal. If you're craving real-deal Vietnamese comfort, Pho Ha delivers--big time. The egg rolls, brisket pho, and iced coffee made for a knockout trio. I'll be back soon.

    This place is a nice cheap homey pho place. I got takeout this time and the wings, spring rolls, and shrimp rolls were delicious. Spring rolls and the peanut sauce were fresh. Shrimp rolls came out crispy and are pretty similar to the shrimp rolls in dim sum restaurants. My personal favorite is the crispy chicken wings. They are savory, just crispy enough, and the sauce adds a good bit of sweetness. I highly recommend these. The service is a bit slow though.

    Pho Ha was a genuine surprise to me. The outside is unassuming, and the inside has a home style feel. Sitting down, it felt welcoming. Service was fast and to the point, and the servers were quick to bring everything out. The Bun Bo was pretty good, not record setting but solid. The Bo Kho, on the other hand, was not what I knew Bo Kho to be or what I've had for the majority of my life. Very soupy, and overall was missing something. What makes up for this is the portion size (bowl is massive) and the meat. If Pho Ha does one thing well it's their cuts of meat. Normal Viet restaurants cut the meat as thin as possible. Pho Ha cuts that meat thick so you can taste it. For that, a 4/5 is where they land in my books.

    I'm meeting a friend here because he's never had Vietnamese food. I've gone here before and thought it was good. It's a small mom and pop restaurant with a laid-back vibe and nothing to brag about, yet it has everything I need to enjoy my meal. We tried the cha gio tom (001), which is a four-piece shrimp egg roll served with a side of fish sauce. The outside is crispy, but I'm not a fan of the stuffing, which was scarce. My main course I had pho dac biet (202) which was basically a house special. The broth was light and clear, but it had a strong beef flavor; Rice noodles that are firm and chewy. The brisket, tendon, and meatball are all extremely tender. I also ordered banh mi thit nuong (102) to go with my pho. The baguette was well toasted and flaky. The pork is flavorful and has a wonderful char grilled scent. The ingredients are fresh, and it complements the sandwich perfectly. It's an enjoyable comfort food that hits the spot, and I'm pleased to hear my friend liked it; I know he appreciates Vietnamese cuisine after this visit.

    pho ga
    Selena S.

    I got pho ga and it just was really average. average to sub par, honestly. I also thought adding an egg to it was a little strange. The chicken was brown and white meat. the restaurant is small, but accommodated everyone when i was there. i'm not too familiar with the area, but there were two men screaming at each other and threatening to get into a physical altercation outside. service was also non existent. nobody came around to check on me once. i did not particularly like this meal and feel like there are better options if you drive a little closer to chicago.

    Banh mi thit nuong - grilled pork sandwich
    Cassie T.

    Recently moved from California where pho restaurants were found in abundanceee, I'm talking about multiple Vietnamese restaurants in every plaza/mile radius. Since moving here, it's been hard to find some solid Vietnamese food but Pho Ha was worth the 10 mile drive. Bun Bo hue - 4.5/5 stars Oh man, one sip of the broth and it brought back memories. The broth was delicious and well developed, plenty of meat, and had a mild spice to it. You can ask for sate if you want it spicier, but make sure to add a little at a time because it's easy to go overboard and make it SPICYYY (speaking from experience haha) Banh mi thit nuong - 4/5 Grilled pork sandwich - can't really go wrong. It had a good ratio of meat to veggies, but the sandwich was a little on the skinnier side haha. But this is coming from someone who just eat a lot lol Customer service was great - attentive and kept refilling water. We ordered a ca phe sua da (iced coffee) and it never came until we mentioned it at the register while paying but that's okay. I would have given this place a 5 stars but I feel like we were mischarged somehow..? Two bowls of BBH 12x2 = $24, two banh mi thit nuong 7.25x2 = $14.50, one coffee $3.50 all together = $42 with tax maybe $46 ish, but our total was about $52... They also give a 4% off as incentive if you pay with cash so I'm not sure how our total came out to $52 but oh well. In the end, delicious food and I would come here every week if it wasn't so far. 10/10 recommend

    Spring rolls
    Francis R.

    Per suggestion from a friend, we came to Pho Ha looking for some Vietnamese food. Let's just say we did not leave disappointed! Started with an order of spring rolls which were fresh and served a tasty peanut sauce. The combination pho with all the fixings were great. Broth was solid and had a good depth of flavor. Noodles were cooked through and didn't clump together. The vermicelli with grilled pork(or possibly chicken can't recall which one) and a fried egg roll was also really good. Lastly, we had ordered a ban mi for the kiddo which he thoroughly enjoyed. Big fan of the bread here, because sometimes you get those shops that serve up that really tough baguette that cuts up the roof of your mouth. But not here! Also we did order an iced coffee from here which was great and definitely kept me up in the evening. Anyways, after seeing some pictures of the bun bo hue, we'll definitely need to make another trip out. 'Til next time, cheers!

They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.
