This is officially the go-to spot for my wife and me here in the Naperville/Aurora area! Every time we visit Pho Noodle Station, the food and service are incredibly consistent. We've brought traveling friends and family here, and it never misses. The portion sizes are fantastic--we highly recommend the Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Viet Taste Starter Platter, which is an amazing deal. For our main courses, we usually go with the V032 Pho Dac Biet (the broth is so comforting!) and the V070 Double 'B' Banh Mi. Occasionally, I'll opt for the V062 Marinated Pork Chop with Honey Sausage and Fried Eggs, which is always delicious. Located in Pacifica Square near the Fox Valley Mall, it's such a fun, cozy atmosphere. They usually play acoustic guitar covers of pop songs in the background, which adds a really nice touch to the experience. If you're looking for high-quality, consistent Vietnamese food, this is the place! read more

Came for dinner with a big group. The space is big, lots of seating, the staff were friendly, and service was quick. I got the V045 which is pho with Well Done Beef Brisket, Eye Round Steak Slices, Tripe, which I usually get when I go to a Pho Noodle Station location. The pho came out and the first few bites satisfied the pho craving. But the cuts of meat weren't the best and the broth didn't taste fresh. It was hard to finish the bowl, although the portion size was generous. It probably didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen, and the doors would swing open every few minutes and smells of dish soap would waft through. I usually love Pho Noodle Station, especially the location in Champaign, but this was a disappointing experience. Not sure if the stores are related, but I wish the quality was as good as that location. read more

I'm not sure why my reviews for this company's locations are being deleted. I went to the Aurora, DG, and Woodridge locations and suddenly the Aurora and DG's lost? I actually wrote a pretty generous review for the Aurora one. Since it was deleted and I no longer have those pictures, I'll have to take away 2 stars for the inconvenience. Long story short, the pho was pretty decent, chicken wings were good, and the com dia plates were good. They have some nice desserts too. Maybe I'll try this place again if I'm in the area. Hopefully, my review for Yelp and Google doesn't get deleted again. 3 stars out of 5 now. read more

Came back for my favorite bun Bo hue and it was good but felt like the meat especially the Cha was a little old. The spring rolls also had some old bean sprouts wish it was a little fresh. Banh mi was good and the service was okay. It was a little slow especially on the weekend. read more

Service was extremely fast at this location. Food came out fast, hot, and flavorful. There is something for everyone beyond Pho. The Banh Mi was good, however, the bread was extremely soft in my opinion. I wish it was a little more firm or even perhaps some of the bread scooped put in the middle. But all in all, the service was great, the location was clean, and early took care of our party of 5. Other members enjoyed their Pho, even taking home some of the broth, so I will go back to try that! read more

My husband and I dined in on a Sunday morning and the place had a great ambiance. It was very spacious with a lot of different seating arrangements to choose from (booth or tables) the decor was lovely! We decided to order shrimp ragoons, shrimp siumai, pho tai gan and sach and bun bo hue. The appetizers tasted great. I think my pho tai gan and sach lacked flavor and my husband said the same about his bun Bo hue. I'll probably come back to try other things on the menu because we really loved the vibe of this place and they also have a bubble tea and smoothie station. read more

I found this place last year and at the time seems 2 1/2 stars most of all because of the quality of I've ordered twice takeout from this this past and I am very disappointed. The quality of has gotten worse. I ordered a dish with peanut than anything to do with peanut butter. It was horrible. The sandwich has limited meat, very slimy and the price of pie. I don't recommend this place. read more

Spring rolls !! That are fresh and not fried. Soup dumplings !! And Pho that is delicious. My hubby and I try to hit here a couple times a year. The pho is delicious. (I get mine without noodles because I end up bringing a lot of it home and they just soak up the broth). The spring rolls are so good. Fresh and thank the Lord not deep fried. Also tried the soup dumplings. They had a little bit of meat in them that I was not expecting but was not mad at either. They did have the yummy brothy soup as well. read more

This is the spot for pho in Aurora! Pho Noodle Station is located right next to Park to Shop in Pacifica Square Mall and we almost always make a grocery run after dining in here. I've only had Pho here and my favorite is the brisket with meatballs. I also enjoy their appetizers; pork egg rolls and tofu spring rolls. Sometimes we'll order a passionfruit smoothie if we're in the mood. My husband likes the grilled pork banh mi. As of June 2024, they stopped making crepes due to staff shortages, and on a Friday evening when we came to dinner in, they only had two servers handling take out and all the tables. The servers were a little frazzled (I don't blame them) but we still got our orders taken and our food served in a normal timeframe. We've been here plenty of times (pre staff shortages) where the service didn't feel as chaotic. The interior is nothing to really write home about; they have a drink station/counter near the entrance where they make the smoothies and milk teas. There are several aisles of seating, including booths on each side of the space, and tables w/chairs in the center aisles. We've dined in and had take out from pho noodle station, and I think the location is perfect to all the Park to Shop clientele to stopover before or after shopping. Grocery run or not, I always come back just for pho. read more

Good Vietnamese option in the fox valley area. The Pho was delicious with a generous portion of meat and was well seasoned. The pork bao was also worth trying. They also offer Bobba tea and various other drinks. Service was good and restaurant was clean. Thank you read more

I ordered through Uber Eats and the food was good. I've had the steak pho and grilled pork banh mi. I do want to add that for the banh mi sandwiches the bread is always dry or stale. It makes it hard to eat and it falls apart. I've had banh mi from other places and their bread was fine so not sure what's happening here. This was my 3rd time ordering and the bread has always been on the dry side :/ read more

I thought overall this place was just ok. The broth alone wasn't as flavorful as I've had in other pho places around the area before adding toppings to it. The chicken bahn mi was cooked well and the portion was enough to share. The service was also kind of sparse so it was hard to call over our waiter when we needed something. The restaurant itself is well maintained and they have a pretty large menu variety. read more

UPDATE: This is more for my regular readers. If you are not one of them, this long rant is probably not worth your time. I feel like I had to write it either way to provide the sequel to my piece about Thien An Sandwiches (Houston), where I took the chance to talk about the dilemma of "authentic" Vietnamese food. I promised to talk about the "other side" of that dilemma with Phở Noodle Station in the future. That future is now. Behold: INauthentic Vietnamese food. The best Vietnamese food I've ever had in the United States. It saddens me that I still have zero information about the chef behind Phở Noodle Station. Is he even Vietnamese? (I do fleetingly remember a waitress mentioning that they were a he, at least.) Either way, in my last visit by the end of April this year, the place seemed to be crumbling down. It was emptier than I remembered (I might've just come in at a bad time, but still), the seats had more cracks on them, the service was slower and they discontinued both the crepes and the milk cap tea (though they did promise "a new dessert in the future"). The TVs that stare at you upon entrance were also eerily turned off and didn't play random karaoke clips anymore. And yet, I ordered the rice dish with lemongrass chicken - an old favorite of mine - and it was still every bit as good as I remembered. So I'm not here to talk about what Phở Noodle Station did wrong. That much is obvious enough if you consider how people generally approach this kind of food, especially the Vietnamese. The place is WAY too Americanized, and it is run by Chinese people - the arch-nemeses of Vietnamese people as a group. Most people who even come here would either not know how phở should taste like - or cannot accept that this is how phở should taste like. Thus, I want to talk more about what Phở Noodle Station did right. Well first of all, I finally managed to take a good picture of one of my favorite offerings from this place (the aforementioned rice dish), so please take a look at it. This thing beat every single Vietnamese place in the gigantic Vietnamese community of Houston. Every. Single. One of them. Why am I not talking about the phở? I can argue about how Vietnamese cuisine is more than just phở and whatnot but honestly- I just didn't have a good picture for it. Anyhow, what Phở Noodle Station did right - and what brought me the joy of being a foodie - is that they respected these Vietnamese dishes, be it phở, rice, or gỏi cuốn, *as food*, not as a Vietnamese thing. Whoever is behind this chain once tried these dishes, was impressed by them, strived to perfect them, and simply wanted to share them with the world. It didn't matter if they were selling it to Americans or Vietnamese. It didn't matter if they presented themselves as Vietnamese or Chinese. It didn't even matter if they themselves were Vietnamese. Did it work? Obviously not. But it is commendable, and too many places wouldn't even dare to do the same. All this is not to say that I like inauthentic food. I have blasted many Vietnamese places for doing just that (looking at you, Bánh Mì Barista...). This is also not to imply that I know nothing about the Vietnamese taste. I was born in Vietnam and had spent - technically - most of my life there. My Vietnamese friend agreed that this was the best phở he could find in the States. My Puerto Rican friend agreed that this was the best phở he could find in the States. The only thing Phở Noodle Station failed at is looking and feeling like a phở place. But it does make me wonder: Is authenticity really all there is to it? In terms of running a successful "ethnic" restaurant? Have a Vietnamese auntie open a shantytown place and throw some MSG into the phở before serving it with a scowl the same way we do it in Vietnam? Is that how one becomes the best Vietnamese restaurant in Aurora, Houston, or [insert city here]? Do Americans really just not know what they are eating? I hope Phở Noodle Station will stay open for at least a few more years. read more

This is a Sunday evening and I was out and about during the chilly season with family. We wanted some hot soup so I did a Yelp search for some good pho in the area. I saw this and off we went! This is in a strip mall surrounded by a lot of other Asian restaurants and near a huge Asian market so there's plenty of parking. The place has a modern layout. When you enter there's a counter for ordering desserts of assorted crepes and bubble teas. It might have been short staff that evening as the service was a bit slow. We showed up around 5p then the dinner rush come through, glad we came for an early dinner. I ordered the appetizer of soup dumplings it was good with a nice sweet umami sauce. I would get this again. The family got fried chicken wings it was ok looked a bit over cooked. They ordered pork bao but we didn't get it. The young waitress forgot so we told her to take it out of the bill. Be clear if you want to split the check at the table or else they will still give you 1 check Augh the math during a food coma... We got V32 pho soup all the fixings with no tripe. It was a good size bowl and they gave us plenty of noodles and meats. But the fresh fixings like bean sprouts, basil, limes, slices of jalapeño peppers was small for 3 bowls of pho. Make sure to bring up that you want one of EACH bowl of pho. I don't mind sharing but I do like a lot of bean sprouts in my pho soup. Plenty of noodles, meat was soft and I liked the mini ladle spoon you get to use in your pho. I like the atmosphere and layout of the place. When you pay its a computer pad and the staff waits for you to process your payment including tip which I sometimes don't care for someone hovering over me. Overall, I'd come back again if I'm in the area. My rating food: 4.5 stars Service that day 4 stars out of 5. read more

3.5 stars: I tried this pho place near me and hands down the best chicken banh mi I've ever had. I'm not a big fan of pho, but my sister really enjoyed it. The spring rolls were delicious with that peanut sauce. It added a tangy flavor to the spring roll. I will definitely dine here again just for their banh mi and spring rolls. We also got 2 brown sugar bubble tea and it extremely sweet for my liking. The interior of place is clean and classy. The service was great too. read more

This is my favorite Pho place in Naperville! The amount of food you get for the price is super worth it, and it's quite a full bowl. I got full after eating half of my portion and took the rest home. I love the broth as it is so tasty and it is cooked with the beef so the flavor is infused really well. I typically am not a huge fan of pho due to the noodles being really bland, but even the noodles incorporated so much of the flavor that they taste good on their own. This place also gives a generous portion of meat and veggies for the soup. The service is also so friendly and fast. On my most recent visit, our waiter made sure our experience was amazing, and even offered to treat one of us to a boba drink if we were able to eat a whole jalapeño. Being the spice lover that I am, I took the challenge and he was so nice to follow through on his offer to buy boba. The drink was pretty tasty, and I highly recommend trying a little bit of everything on their menu. read more

Aurora seems to have mostly Chinese and Mexican places but this is an exception. It may be the only Vietnamese restaurant around here. Pho Noodle Station happens to be next to the Park To Shop international market. Has some pretty authentic tasting stuff including pho and teas to choose from. They have vegan friendly options. Came here with a friend on a cold day. It was a good time for pho. They have a lot to choose from including vegan friendly broths and noodles too. Of course you need something to drink. They have lots of teas. Milk tea is popular. They even have a non dairy Almond Milk Tea. It's $4.25 for a small. We liked the creaminess of this. As for the pho we both got the one kind we could get. This was the Pho Chay, which was real tasty. It's $12.95 for a big bowl. This really hit the spot and got us some good heat internally. Hit this spot up if you happen to be around here. It's especially important if you're freezing your ass off. They have plant based pho soups as well. read more

My family and I were in the area and we wanted to eat Vietnamese food so we decided to try Pho Noodle Station since it was on our way home. We were seated right away on a Saturday evening. I ordered the lemongrass pork with eggroll noodle bowl but I got beef instead. The meat was flavorful but I didn't bother to get my order fixed since I didn't want to wait for the waiter to come back. My parents ordered a pho tai bo vien to share but they were given pho tai instead. They asked for an extra bowl but the waiter forgot about the request and disappeared for awhile My dad thought the pho broth was bland and they were only given a handful of bean sprouts and two pieces of basil. Hubby got the lemongrass pork chop with rice but the pork was on the tough side. Overall, food was okay but could really work on their customer service. read more

Love this place!! I usually get the vegan pho with tofu in beef broth and shrimp spring rolls. The portions are really nice and the food is so delicious! I have dined inside and ordered to take out. The service is always prompt and the ambiance is very comfortable! Also, prices are a little less than other pho restaurants that I have tried.

Food was amazing full a flavor and came out the kitchen very fast! The environment was cute and quiet.

This is a hip spot for tasty Pho and smoothie, I past by many times and finally decided to give them a try. I was a happy camper after I was able to order Pho and eat it in the outdoor seating. I ordered a house Pho and mango smoothie, which was the total was around $16. The Pho came in a large bowl and the soup was hot as I like it especially sitting outdoor. The smoothie was good too, even with less sugar requested the drink was still overly sweet. Overall, the Pho was great and you are able to get your favorite drink all in one place. Parking is plentiful. read more

Place is very, very good. I've ordered carry out multiple times and finally fined in. The staff was great, friendly. They had a wide selection oh Pho, Bao buns, and appetizers. They even have a boba cafe inside. I believe they are now serving crepes/bubble waffles maybe or maybe just the waffle cones. I ordered the V048 and it's kind of my usual. I've had the fish before and the fish balls are disgusting but to each his own. I would see this weird jelly looking meat inside, I finally asked embarrassed or not what it was and was told it is pork tendon. Who knew!

We tried this place for the first time last week and enjoyed it so much that we ended up ordering again today! Last week, we called in an order for V037 Pho Tai Nam and V076 Korean BBQ Beef Banh Mi. It was ready in 20 minutes for pickup. When we got there, our order was incorrect, but the woman at the counter was apologetic and corrected it right away. I really appreciate great service like that. By the time we got home, the pho was still hot. The banh mi was delicious and my boyfriend loved his pho. He even said it was better than his favorite pho restaurant in Little Saigon, San Jose. Today we wanted to order it again. This time we decided to split a V033 Pho Tai and ordered for delivery on DoorDash. I normally hate ordering pho through DoorDash because in past experiences when I've received it, the broth wasn't hot enough still for the raw beef. However, by the time our order got to us the pho was still great and at a perfect temperature. They serve takeout pho in three separate containers- a bowl with the noodles and meat, a container with the broth, and a plastic bag with all the fixins. If you have a craving for pho or banh mi, I definitely recommend checking Pho Noodle Station out. read more

Love this place! You absolutely have to try the shrimp rangoons if you like crab and shrimp. The pho is also my go to.

Great service at an Asian restaurant. I'm floored. I'm conditioned to rude and tired employees at decent Asian places, which I'm willing to forgive if the food is above par. Somehow this place actually has nice employees and decent food! Located right across the street from the Fox Valley Mall, you can get your pho on and bubble tea. Asian desserts are a plenty here with egg waffles and there are quite a bit of choices! Back to the food, it hits the mark, though I think the broth could use a little more time and taste to it. The interior is clean and well lit. Prices are reasonable and it's nice to have options like this so close to the mall! read more

So we were supposed to go to the Pacific market Square to try the food court but it wasn't open until 11 o'clock. So, we decided to go to the restaurant right next to it. Well, I have to say it is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have ever had. Everything was so delicious, my favorite was the buns but I'm not sure what they're called exactly. The noodle bowl is really good too and you get a lot for one person. The setting in the restaurant is nice as well. They are so busy that as soon as the doors open people start to walk in. They have a nice selection of desserts that I wanted to try, but I was too full to eat dessert. This is one of my favorite restaurants! The customer service was excellent and they're so nice I didn't have to ask to get my water refilled. I would like to come back just to try the food again! read more

Not sure why I snoozed on this place for so long. The pho broth is tasty and was still hot when I got home 20 mins after picking up my order.

Will definitely be coming back next time I get a craving for a pho or spring rolls. read more

Talk about yummy fresh food! I had the vegetarian tofu lemongrass banh mi (sandwich). It was very light yet filling. I will definitely be enjoying this sandwich again.

Why go to the city for good pho when you don't have to? Pho noodle station is one of my families favorite spots for a tasty pho noodle soup. Great that it is in the neighborhood now. Located in Pacifica square next door to park to shop, Vivi's boba shop and across from fox valley mall. They have variety of banh mi sandwiches and desserts as well. The price of a bowl of pho has gone up since last year from 12 to 14$. But nonetheless it's comfort food and great hangover food. The restaurant is clean and inviting, why not give it a try when your in town. read more

UPDATE: Matt from their team reached out and clarified the misunderstanding, the employee was jokingly apologizing for the ugly spring rolls (they weren't ugly) and the joke didn't land quite right when a customer has no idea what to expect and gets a weird message with no context on their food. The team was extremely apologetic and I have changed the review as it was a genuine misunderstanding that was quickly clarified. (Employee was given feedback that messages on takeout boxes probably should be less ominous and serial-killery in the future, haha) As I mentioned previously, the food has always been great and I am 100% comfortable with returning in the future after seeing how this entire situation was handled. If you're in the area, give this place a try! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For full disclosure, we've eaten here many times without a hitch, the food is great and the staff have always been alright. We did have an extremely bizarre encounter today, and unfortunately after this I do not think we will be coming back. We ordered pickup food (spring rolls, pho x2) over the phone for pickup. Phone order went fine, the gentleman over the phone was pleasant and ordering went without any hiccups. We picked up the food and drove home, and upon arriving home and unpacking the food, found that someone had written "my sympathies brother" on the lid of our spring rolls (picture attached). This was immediately bizarre, and frankly slightly concerning and off-putting especially during COVID. We weren't sure if this was a message from BOH that food was off, tampered with, etc., or just a simple prank. Anyways, we called back not to ask for money back, but just to alert the restaurant with a "hey, someone in your kitchen or staff may be playing weird pranks on your customers". I was met with a "ok, thanks" and then promptly hung up on. Regardless to say, the food seemed fine, but getting an odd message and then lukewarm response after we called to tell the staff made us extremely wary of ever returning, which is a shame. The food has always been very good, but honestly I definitely felt extremely anxious and lost my appetite trying to figure out why there was such a weird note on our food regardless of whether it was a harmless prank or not. Not by any means knocking the food or staff here, but I did want to write this review and just alert people that there may be immature pranking that's happening at the restaurant, and not something that we want to be participating in anymore after this. read more
