    Food was tasting as it should be! Place is airy & not congested. Love the simple decor & appreciate the tidiness. Service is fast each time we visit. Slightly elevated prices but serving of pho is more than enough.

    An absolute gem in St. Charles. It was a cold night after our fun visit across the street at Ghoulish Mortals and I really wanted some delicious pho. We all got the shrimp pho and it hit the spot. Super tasty broth and the large was no kidding LARGE. One of the server was great and polite....the other.....not so much. But it won't stop me for coming back for some yummy pho next time we're in St. Charles.

    16. Pho Ly Special

    My wife and I have been coming here for quite some time now and it has been amazing every time! The phở broth is always on point and I'm one of those that don't like to add hoisin and sriracha in the broth. I like to add them on a side dish to dip my meat in. I will add the basil, bean sprouts, lime juice and jalapeños in the soup, however. One of the ladies that work there (not sure if it's the wife or owner) is always so nice to us and welcomes us whenever we come in. The service is always great too. Not much to complain about. The place is always very quiet even though the restaurant is pretty spacious. It's also very clean and they are quick to buss tables as soon as customers are done. Will continue to come back!

    Spring roll
    Erik B.

    Just a quick review to say that this place has some great spring rolls for a great price. Was passing some time at the Antique Market tucked off Main St and was feeling a little hungry so I decided to check out what was open nearby and saw the sign for Pho Ly. I decided some spring rolls should be able to hold me over so I headed there. The interior of the restaurant is a good size with a nice amount of tables. It was clean and quiet with a small bar near the entrance and some festive holiday decoration too. The staff were friendly and attentive offering me a table at first and then being happy to let me place a to-go order at the counter. They told me the rolls should be ready in a few minutes so I said I would be right back and went to grab some things from Rocket Fizz. When I came back my order was ready and I was so hungry that I ended up just eating them in the car on the way to my next appointment. They tasted good with nice sized shrimp and the fillings inside were fresh. The next time I'm in St Charles I will strongly consider giving more of Pho Ly's menu a try.

    Located downtown St Charles next door to shell and across from fill up station. There is parking on the side street. The pho is good and tasty. This is up there next to pho 95. Service was good and the restaurant was clean.

    Alas, St. Charles has got itself an AMAZING Vietnamese spot! Pho Ly had caught my eye as I was driving on main street and I had to stop by and give it a try. I brought my sister with, and we set out on our first foodie venture at this spot. My sister ordered the combination fried rice, and I had ordered the tofu vermicelli noodles along with a taro smoothie with Boba. Everything was freshly made, delicious, well, seasoned, and incredibly enjoyable. Staff was incredibly kind and attentive. As far as the space goes, it is an open space, well lit, and modern spot. Highly enjoyable and comfortable seating. We will definitely be returning to this spot to try out more things on the menu. Highly recommend to all folks looking for a solid Vietnamese spot in town!

    From a firsthand recommendation and their great reviews, we decided to try the authentic Vietnamese chow at Pho Ly on 64 in St Charles. Parking is on municipal lot(s) near the restaurant. They've been open just over a year. The atmosphere is casual. The service is outstanding. The bar is beer & wine. We had "Spicy Lemongrass Chicken", a rice/ vermicelli bowl and their crab rangoon for an appetizer. The chicken was definitely spiced up with nice chilis. The food was legitimate, delicious and relatively inexpensive. We'll certainly be back!

There are cute gift items and pantry goods to browse while you wait. I was able to get today's special grilled pastrami Rueben made on gluten free bread and it was delicious and had great quality meat. There is both street parking and a lot adjacent and it's walking distance from the train station. Restroom was clean and well stocked.

St. Mary's Park and then Wheeler Park in Geneva. We wind up on Third Street and head toward the train station and always stop at our favorite little lunch place--Deane's Market & Deli. Start off with the tomato basil soup--SO good! Then we'll often split a sandwich, such as the roast beef (with any number of variations for cheese, bread, sauce). There's a nice case of drinks--sodas, teas, lemonade, water--from which to choose, as well as little bags of kettle cooked chips, also with several varieties. You order at the counter, take a seat (but be forewarned, it can get busy), and then some young person will come by with a tray of your food. While you wait, you can peruse the super cute kitchen items for sale, including seasonal tschotches, dishes, bowls, bottles, linens--you never know quite what you'll find, but we often can't resist one thing or another. Anyway, sated and fortified, we head back across the river using the double bridge (pedestrian below, railroad above), through Island Park and then back home. It's our weekend ritual and we love it. (The only reason I give it four stars is because the prices are a bit high, IMHO. I had half a grilled cheese sandwich the other day for more than $7.)

There was an eclectic blend of choices but they didn't have two titles I was seeking, and the clerk seemed slightly annoyed when I inquired. The restaurant, though small, was more accessible, and had some great food! I had the roast pork apple sandwich and my friend got the signature salad, and we split the bourbon pecan pie, all of which were delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive even though it was busy, and other servers also kept an eye on bussing empty plates from our table. Parking is across the street; both crosswalks had steps leading down from the parking lot. Would certainly return for the cafe!
