    Got three different spring rolls, the duck, vegetable, and the shrimp. The sauce that went with the spring roll was generic but good. All three were pretty okay spring rolls. Surprisingly, my favorite was the vegetable one. Got the appetizer bo xue which was my favorite appetizer. It was crispy and flavors pretty good when you wrap it up in lettuce and dip it in the fish sauce. Got three other entrees and the bun Bo hue was good but not that spicy. The pho was big and broth was pretty good. The proteins of the pho wasn't that good and the tendons in the pho was hard and tasted a bit weird. The service was excellent and everyone was super nice. Overall, a great experience with lots of seating though the food was underwhelming

    My friends recommended this place but unfortunately this place was not a hit for me. A group of six of us had dinner on a Sunday evening. They have a lot of space, good for private events. Service was quick. However, menus need to be updated as there were sharpie written over with different prices. I ordered the Bun Heo Nuong Tom because I love vermicelli bowls. Their sauce, nuac cham was plain and didn't have that usual umami flavor. The meat wasn't really seasoned. I'd possibly consider coming back to try other items with their extensive menu.

    I've been here many times and it's always been really good. The restaurant is spacious and service is quick and the food is always delicious, especially the pho. My favorite is the oxtail pho. We recently did takeout and I decided to try something different. We ordered the white fish, the pancake And the spring rolls with duck. It was really delicious, especially the fish. The pancake was a nice surprise and unique. It's a great neighborhood spot

    The food and service is always superb. I love the fish tank and they seem to have an area for a DJ and or stage for performers. I accidentally ordered a Diet Coke but they gave me one without caffeine.

    I came here on a summer day when it was particularly hot and humid. The restaurant smelled dank. I thought maybe the A/C or exhaust was broken. Then the waiters came out. Not sure if they still work there now but they did not smell good. They are of a certain ethnicity which is different from the cuisine. I feel really bad to say that it gives me poor hygiene vibes. I did place my order nonetheless, for takeout. I had to leave the place because it smelled like dirty laundry. I did comeback to pick up the order. This maybe gross but I still ate the food and was still delicious. I'd be wary to go back again. The lady owner (I suspect) was very friendly. I wish the place cleanliness would be better.

    lovely food, even lovelier people -- the staff were SO kind!! the pho was reasonably priced, especially for the substantial serving size, and perfecttt for a cold winter day. can literally never go wrong. complimentary green tea and all the right sauces!! spot is accessible af (not too far from the train or free parking) and cozy.

    I came here on a Wednesday evening with my partner. I was in the mood for some bun bo hue because of how cold it has been in Chicago. I ordered the pork and shrimp spring roll as an appetizer to start us off because I was really hungry. The sauce that came with the spring roll was a little weird to us so we ended up using hot sauce that was on the table. The Bun Bo hue was really good. I wish they had the pork knuckle or pork blood in there but other than that, I don't really have any complaints. The soup was really good and then there was a good kick of spiciness in every slurp. I was really satisfied by the end of the meal. My partner just had the regular pho with flank steak, but in a large size. He was super satisfied, so that was a good sign. The restaurant is really big but I guess when we went at 8pm they had closed off half of it since there weren't a ton of customers. The owner was really nice and our orders were taken pretty quickly. I will definitely keep this place in mind whenever I'm in the area because the noodle soup that night really slapped.

    This is my friend and I's go to Pho place on the North Side!!! We've been multiple times and they don't disappoint. It's a family owned restaurant with friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food. We did a walk in, which we usually do it's rarely super packed. Heads up, they didn't have wine this time. Not sure if it's a new change going forward or it was just that time.

    . Prior to attending an event at The Aragon Ballroom, my best friend and I had dinner at this restaurant. We both chose to have large bowls of Steak Pho accompanied by duck spring rolls. The Pho was delicious, featuring a richly flavored broth and savory steak. Our server was a friendly young woman, and the gentleman who assisted her was also helpful. While the restaurant could use some updates and better maintenance of cleanliness, I would be happy to dine here again.

Crispy chicken wings with caramelized fish sauce sounded adventurous but tasted familiar. These were definitely good but they're not mind blowing so I would probably skip them to try other things if you're on the fence. Oysters were so delicious but I hardly ever think they're not. Wagyu with lemongrass and a chili sea salt was simple but tasty. The grilled eggplant was yummy, paired with pickled shallots, fried garlic, and scallions. Definitely a good one for eggplant lovers like me. The veggie curry was good but probably the least favored of everything we had and couldn't finish it. But we made room for a little dessert! We went with the whipped rice pudding but had it without peanuts because I'm allergic. We didn't really enjoy it much. It was kind of bland and I'm guessing it might be because we omitted the nuts. It was sad to finish on a weak note.

Seeing as we once lived together on a Clark Street, why not dinner on this N Clark St? Following my clinical parallel park job, we entered this theatre of dreams. I'll recognize upfront my bias for sloped ceilings, but this spot ticks that interior box. Sierra Mist colored lighting to make the drinks hit harder and fake skylights that unironically went crazy. Not to mention, this Croatian meets Vietnamese love story was jamming Americana all night long. Soon enough I was white-knuckling the table to keep my cool as the medley proved to be somewhere between erotic and nostalgic. One could rescue a newborn from a burning building and it would pail in comparison to the respect our waitress lavished onto us. Reason being, this lovely lady spent the entire night responding with "yes chef" to any of our interactions. In all fairness, it's understandable to assume our party of mustached men were chefs. Heck, one of us got a diet cola, isn't that a tell too? I say all this to make known the cult status that woman will have in my heart till I breathe my last breath. As for the menu, what a divine collaboration. Sequestered into some back pages lay a section for Balkan fare that served as a platform for the married-in man to showcase his swagger. Truth be told it's this food selection that brought me in and that red pepper spread that makes me stay. This skilled in-law got even more time to shine on the beer list, with my dark Bosnian beer showing every reason why. Tasty lil thing. All things considered, this is still a Vietnamese restaurant. Pho did its thing and embraced the mega serving size stereotype it so firmly holds, but it cannot sit in the poll position here. Brian, my dear friend, voiced that his girlfriend swears by Sunset's crispy noodle. Well folks, Tessa certainly knows ball! While still respectfully conversing through our meal, Brian joined the clean plate club alarmingly fast. Based on my swapski sampling of his platter I can understand why. Clear betting favorite, certified hustler, it's what to get y'all. As we wrapped our meal my other dear friend at the table, John, accidentally stated something that must serve as the slogan for Sunset Pho Caffe. He said, "It elevates the past." By golly it does and I'll raise my glass to that!

    5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

I didn't try the hot pot, but the group one table over had it. Speaking of the other group, so many varied entrees came out of the kitchen - it was cool to see more than just phở. The waitstaff is quick... almost to the point of impatient! But never problematic. Be aware that dishes fly out of the kitchen as they are ready. One bowl might come out way before the others. An appetizer might come out last. It just whatever is ready (it appears). Also, their takeout game is strong, judging by the amount of trays ready to go and people coming in to carry-out. It's a little far for me to do takeout, but still nice to see.
