I stopped in for the garlic butter steak bahn mi based on reviews. I was sadly disappointed. The sandwich was nothing like the reviews or pictures. There was barely any meat, and fatty. It was mostly a large chunk of bread. Could not taste garlic/butter. I threw it out. The person was not friendly who took my order. I really wanted to go back with friends for Pho but not now. read more

Excellent vegan options including the vegan pho and spring rolls with either avocado or tofu.

Meh, it's agreat food but meh service. lots of times I will be missing items I paid extra for... like xtra sauce

Overpriced small portions - I ordered shrimp tempura and they served it right away - COLD! They run like 3-4 servers by you to make it look like their service is good/ tip more. Unimpressed, food adequate at best. Not like the traditional Vietnamese restaurant where the food sings. This stuff was barely humming. read more

so delicious and great service! i always enjoy stopping in, everyone is so nice and helpful! 10/10!

This place is have the best sandwich and drink! I can't wait to come back to have another grill pork sandwich and ice milk coffee again !

5 stars easily - stop scrolling, type pholicious into google maps and then head straight there. Order the large pho dac biet and make sure you use some of the "phoking" hot sauce mixed with siracha. It's amazing - I've been here 3 times in the last 5 days. read more

The main ingredient in pho is the broth. Without the broth, there is no pho. The broth is an ongoing process, from morning to night....and yes, you can tell. If you're not a big pho person, you won't be able to tell, and this will satisfy you. But if you're Viet and you're a pho person who knows what real pho taste like, you'll know this is average. Another bad thing with this place is that they don't give you enough noodles...generous with the ingredients, but barely any noodles. I placed another order of noodles half way. Here comes the drinks. Ice full to the top for $6. Well, for my lychee lemonade, at least. read more

Wayyy over priced. $8 kid soup...very small. Got double tofu...3 slim slices. Generic. Would not recommend for lunch.

Still one of my favorite places to eat pho in the suburbs! Delicious Short Rib Pho and Meatball hits the spot everytime! This place is relatively new and the service is top! The owners there are always so nice and helpful and take some time to talk to their customers...this is my 6th time back and still never disappointed!! See you guys again! read more

So good. Service was amazing and so was the food. Restaurant is very nice and is def a new favorite.

Outstanding! Love the build your own Pho soup! Service is excellent! Food is hot & fresh!

They renovated the place, bigger, classy & with a bar. Service was outstanding, with all the guys milling around, attentive to our needs. We ordered pho with beef short rib, it was tender, meaty with flavorful broth. We got a lot of appetizers: egg rolls, spring rolls, chicken wings, grilled pork sausage, steamed rice bun with grilled pork filling (so delicious & addicting!) the roasted pork that was a little bit tough on the teeth but all of them authentic & delicious! We also had the refreshing tropical fruit tea with jelly. This is my second time here, we'll be back! read more

100 STARS! Pho Licious is truly delicious lol Waiter was absolutely kind and knowledgeable about the menu! I ordered drinks, appetizer and 2 entree's! Everything was incredible definitely recommend! read more

Service took a very long time to even take our order. There were 4 wait staff and only 3 tables with customers, yet it took us over 20 minutes to even have our order taken. Food was incredibly slow and everyone's food came out at different times. Advertise iced coffee on menu but server did not know how it was made. Food tasted okay, not bad at all. Restaurant was very clean and looked newly renovated. read more

Had a really good experience and the pho was very flavorful. Very authentic one of the best around the suburbs read more

I have been there like 10 times. Great pho bowls and friendly service. The fried chicken is also good.

Overpriced & small portions. Had to order extra noodles for pho. Steak is decent but meatball is terrible. Food was above average at best. Service is good for reviews and only until you pay. Came in during rush lunch hour, asked to wait 10 minutes. Old caucasian male with entitlement cut the line and took the only available seat though he ordered to go. Asked to wait another 5 minutes. Owner goes and panders to him like they're buddy-buddy. Ambience is about what you'd expect from a small vietnamese shop. So if you like being treated like a 3rd or 4th class customer, you are welcome here. For all I know, they could be spitting in your pho to add to the flavor unless you're an old caucasian male than you're treated like a king. For the rest of us, you're dollar and presence is valued more elsewhere. -edited for clarity read more

Great food with a lot of flavor. Service is friendly and quick. Place has nice vibe. We will be back !

Family and I wanted a great Vietnamese place to stop to on a Sunday evening. Pho Licious didn't disappoint at all. Well at least for the most part of it! Our food came out in a decent time and everything tasted fresh and delicious. I was super stunned by how adorable my dish was. The rice was heart shaped so cutely. Food was great! I will say the rice has a very mushy texture which I disliked. Everything else was tasty. Also, when we were ordering from the beginning, we told our waitress drinks we wanted. We got our water but no drinks. We reminded them again of the drinks and the waitress then got the reminder clicked in her mind. Drinks came out but mine didn't. I reminded her again of my order and she told the barista. A whole 10 mins came by and my drink still wasn't out. Reminded her AGAIN, and finally saw someone preparing it. I got the strawberry lemonade. I only drank half of it and I got the WORST stomach ache of my life in the car. Seriously. Felt like I was about to explode. Other than that it's a great restaurant. read more

The food is great, this place has the best pho in Chicagoland in my opinion. However, the customer service is terrible. We were the only ones there and it took them 10 minutes just to come ask for food. No greetings, no apology, other times they wouldn't even serve water until asked we asked for it. They spoke very impolitely and would even roll their eyes. It's a shame considering how great the food is but the servers need to be better trained. read more

As with most small restaurants that experience some success, the skimping and take it or leave it attitude has begun. I usually order carry out so I cant comment on eating in the dining room. I do like their Pho and that's what I ordered the last few times. When ordering I always make sure to ask for the essential sauces (siracha, hoisin, hot chili oil, etc) since there have been previous times when they failed to include any even after asking for it. The last 2 times I was told they were out of one or the other. I found it hard to believe that a Pho place would run out of these items since they are pretty much required to accompany the Pho. When I picked up I could see every table in the place had all the sauces. When I questioned this I was told they didn't have "carry-out" packets. I asked if they could just provide some in a small container. I was told no. REALLY? You couldn't just give me some to not affect the experience and make a customer happy? One time I ordered some other items for a group of people. Told me it would be ready in 30 mins. 25 mins later I left home to pick up. As I was driving there they called the house in an effort to notify me that they ran out of some items. Really? Less than 5 mins before pickup time you decide to call to let me know? Of course I didn't find out until I arrived for the pickup which provided me no option of trying to determine any alternatives for those individuals who's items they ran out of. So I had a couple people who got nothing. What really aggravated me was I saw people in the restaurant getting the exact items I attempted to order 30+ mins earlier that I was being told were sold out. Between these customer service issues and a downward trend in quality and flavor I don't consider this place a part of my normal rotation of eating out any more. I just don't understand why these smaller places get like this when they experience some success. Sure they want to make $ is the short term but when customer service is no longer a priority their long term $ will no doubt be affected. read more

This is my third time visiting this restaurant, it's a little farther away from us but worth making the trip for some great pho. They must have tweaked their portion serving because early when they opened their portions were a little skimpy. This time I notice more noodles, more of everything. The pho is great, pretty much everything on their limited menu is good. The service is also attentive perhaps because it's a small establishment and they can take the time to really give good service. As they expand I hope that customer service level carries over. Good luck and hope you grow your customer base. read more

I am extremely critical of Vietnamese restaurants because no Vietnamese restaurant can cook better than my mom, but my takeout order from Pho Licious is probably the best in the area. I was extremely surprised by the quality of the meats and the exceptional flavor of the beef broth. It's sweet, savory, and has such depth to it. The 4 meat bowl is such a great deal, especially for takeout. They provide a quart of broth and the take out bowl only holds about half, so you're really getting two bowls of pho for the price of one. I would highly suggest ordering an extra order of just noodles. They also packaged everything so well. The noodles are separated from the broth. And the meat is separated from your noodles with plastic wrap. Nothing is worse than mushy noodles! I'd love to try their sizzling beef next! read more

Price is little too high for regular lunch, but food is good. Also, service was little slow. When I need to get back to the office in an hour (including traffic), it does not give enough time to relax & enjoy their food. read more

I'm not going to say much, but definitely best pho and Vietnamese restaurant in this area. I'm so happy that they are back open.

Pholicious is hands down the BEST Vietnamese restaurant I've been to! Every time I order food here, I'm never disappointed. Go ahead, try everything on the menu, you'll never regret it. And I can't forget how beautiful/modern the restaurant is. 10/10. Would always recommend read more

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. My fiancée and I come here every other day. Such a vibe and delicious food. The staff is wonderful and attentive. The Pho bowls are out of this world. The owner, Johnny, is just one of the greatest, most down yo earth guys you'll ever meet. The bartender is sweet and every server we have had has been friendly. Great local place that we will ALWAYS support! Way to be awesome, Pholicious!! You are Pho King awesome! read more

We were on our way to a different restaurant when I happened to glance and saw Pho Licious. Asked the family if they want to try it and we were not disappointed! Located in the same plaza with Lou Malnati's as their next door neighbor, its a small place but clean. Place was packed with guess what? Asian peeps, mostly Vietnamese. Patronize your own and if its good, people come back. we didn't have any expectations and we were surprised. You can make your own pho! and my son got the shrimp and beef which he liked. The broth was delicious he said and I got to try some and I agree! Me and hubby got the grilled pork chop. it was ok, the meat came a little undercooked. They served it with a cup of rice, egg and slices of cucumber, tomato and raddish and carrot slices. Their banh mi sandwiches are good and the egg rolls are pretty good! For a new place, I hope they stick around and maintain the quality of their food. oh, they also have smoothies and my son who is a fan of mango smoothies, he got the mango pineapple which for the price, cannot beat it and he finished it before we left the place. read more

Easy order and pick up. Pho was delicious- we ordered both meat and veggie versions and the broth for both were very flavorful. Traveled well which was impressive for take away soup. Banh Mi was good - though not memorable. read more

If order online it is $15 regular pho. Overpriced, not sure due to Covid-19? Food is good but not that good to a point that worths $15 a bowl. Hope they can adjust the price list. Also would be great if they can eat a few more noodle soup options, such as chicken/duck/pork, or spicy beef? That would be really nice. read more

Service was poor, food only ok. Had to repeatedly ask for more water, as for the check. Burner to heat the meat for Pho kept going out. We will not return. read more

I got the tofu and veggie ham soup. I really loved the flavors. I also ordered the tofu spring roll ... yummm... My hubby had the brisket sandwich and said it was bomb. We will definitely be ordering from here again ! read more

My husband and I were running errands in the area and looking for a spot to pick up food. So happy we chose Pho Licious! I ordered the simply pho licious with beef, brisket and shrimp in a beef broth. I had never had pho before so I asked the woman helping me to make a suggestion. It was delicious!! The broth was brimming with the flavor of cloves and star anise. My husband ordered the Banh Mi sandwich with grilled pork. This was also excellent. All the employees were not only wearing masks but wearing them properly. They were all very pleasant. The food was very fresh and I didn't have a long wait. The prices are also extremely reasonable. The restaurant was clean which Is a nice bonus. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

I adore this place the vegetarian noodle meal is my go to. My daughter lives the pho. We are always excited to order from here.

I love their Pho and have ordered it numerous times but every time I order the shrimp now I end up throwing a majority of it away because it's not deveined. The first few times I've eaten it there were no issues and now lately it seems like they've gotten a little careless with it. Aside from this they have great Pho and the only reason I continue to order it is because the shrimp comes separately from the Pho when you get takeout. read more
