The pho here is quite tasty. I really like that you can choose your spice level. The broth was perfectly seasoned with plenty of fresh veggies and herbs. I ordered takeout which was quick, easy and convenient. The restaurant is really cute too. Anytime I find delicious gluten free food I always return. I'll be back this fall. read more

Tried this place for the very first time! I ordered vermicelli noodles with grilled beef and eggrolls. Since I'm in a low carb diet that time, I asked if it's ok to replaced the noodles with vegetables and I didn't expect that much vegetables so 101% good job guys! Eggrolls were soooo good!!! The beef is very tender and it has full of flavor sweet, tangy... I couldn't even explain! My only mistake is that I wasn't able to take a picture as I dig in to it right away! Their staff is really friendly and even knows everything on the menu that they can recommend if you're in a "diet" the ambiance is cozy and that gives it a totally wonderful experience. read more

Craving pho!!? Definitely the place to try! They have different bowl sizes if you're not feeling up to a big bowl. You can also customize what you would like in it. The banh mi bread was delish! The Vietnamese coffee, you can't go wrong! Service was great! Definitely worth it! read more

I was going to order from Tasty House 1, but they are closed on Tues, so I called in my order for lunch here. They quoted 15-20 min but got my order closer to 30 min. Taro boba $6 - They didn't have tapioca, which I didn't mind. The drink is an iced drink with good taro flavor. Shrimp spring rolls $7 - 2 rolls per order, fresh ingredients, come with a gallon of peanut sauce (ok, not quite, but more than enough). Grilled pork banh mi $9 - I like the spiciness of the jalapenos, the bread was a bit tough to chew. I've also tried other dishes from here, the bao, pho, and chicken. They were ok. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2023 read more

It's a well lit, nice sized establishment. I was in the area for work, so of course I searched for my usual, Pho. I tried this place out, and my mind was blown! The broth is sooooo good ! I ordered the short rib pho and added brisket. The short rib was good, falling off the bone. But, the brisket was so tough I didn't eat it. I ordered the shrimp egg rolls. And they were perfect! -- I decided to not leave my review that night bc I knew I'd be back the next night. Well, I came back the next night and I can't say my experience was the same. I arrived around the same time as before. With less than an hour and a half to spare, to set context. However, they still allowed people to come in after me. Anyway, I ordered the same thing as the night before but without the brisket. -- The broth was still good, but I received less pieces of short rib and it was NOT falling off the bone. It was actually tough. The noodles tasted thicker than usual. And, the shrimp egg rolls were old. I assume someone ordered them but didn't eat them? I'm not sure. Very disappointing though. So I doubt I'll be back. Or maybe try earlier in the day before I cut it completely. read more

Great friendly service! On a Saturday evening the sit down service was in rotation as well as the to-go... lots of people in and out! Friends would have liked some Thai basil or cilantro in the tofu spring rolls, but since I'm not a fan of either of those I really liked it when dipped in the sauce. I also appreciated that they let you pick your toppings for the build your own phô. The Northern Phô spoke to me... and that came with the toppings on the side too! Definitely will be back! read more

If you've never had banh mi or if you've never been to Pholicious stop here. It's been recognized as one of the best bahn mi sandwiches in the area by food critic Steve Dolynski. The bread was crisp, the meats were fresh and the overall taste left me wanting to come back the next day for more. Don't just stop at the sandwich, try the pho and fried rice! Both were over the top. Better than any other place I've had either of those. For it being at Saturday evening during dinner hours, it was easy to sit right down. However, it was busy and service was incredible for being busy. Those servers hustle and get everything done. Come here and try different things. Oh and the atmosphere in here is cafeteria like but crazy comfortable and made me want to stick around and order more. I'll definitely be coming here again and again. read more

Good Vietnamese restaurant in the suburbs. Next to Lou Malnati's and a breakfast place. I really like the fresh made banh mi sandwich. I had the fish patty and it was delicious!! The bread was crunchy on the outside and inside soft and delicate. I pho was good, but the banh mi better than the pho. They have 2 sizes for pho reg and large. Service was okay. read more

Originally I was going over Roselle and saw Vietnamese restaurant but they're closed on Tuesdays. That was a disappointment I discovered this place cuz I really wanted pho and some Vietnamese dishes. Service was pretty quick and delivering especially the all the dishes all at once between their version of Pho, the spring or summer roll as well as The Boba tapioca smoothie. I ordered the avocado mango for the smoothie. The smoothie was good but the texture of it is a bit too thick. They put it in an interesting container with their logo and a lid with a thick straw. I went a different direction with ordering spring or summer rolls instead of having the shrimp which is traditional I went for the sausage. I was hoping it was going to be like another place on you in the city the way they make their sausage spring roll. But it was not. It look like it was spam but didn't taste like Spam it wasn't salty. It was delicious and savory and the ingredients of green leafy vegetables and vermicelli was tasty. The broth of the pho which was supposed to be a northern recipe which I never experienced even going to Vietnam was delicious however instead of using lean cuts of beef it seems like they were using ground beef similar to hamburger which I thought was peculiar. That was the only thing I did not like in the pho. However the Brotg was very rich in flavorful. The texture of the broth especially. Most other Vietnamese restaurants the broth is either bland and watery or it's flavorful but watery this one had a little thickness to their pho broth. However I didn't like the fact that they put ground beef instead of lean beef. Four out of five stars because of that. A bit pricey in regards to their menu. Ambience is a bit more modern and up-to-date. Otherwise do come here but prepare to spend more than $16 for pho. $8 dollars almost for the spring or summer roll read more

Mouth watering savory food, and nice ambiance with friendly service. Amazing homemade bread makes for the best Bahn Mi Sandwiches. I always pop in here for the lunch specials: pho or the grilled pork. Sometimes the drinks take a while to prep, but the food, and service are worth it. As a Chinese person, their modern take on Bao is a beloved snack of mine. Decor is definitely someone's passion project. It's very cute inside. read more

This is a nice, casual place with affordable rate and tasty food. We tried the tofu bao bun and the pork and egg bahn mi. The bahn mi did not stand out bht the bao was very tasty. An additional star just for the in-house chili oil, it was super tasteful. The cocktails looked basic on the menu and beer collection was basic as well. Dont go here for drinks, go for a quick tasty bite to calm your hunger if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I stopped in on a Sunday evening to order takeout. I ordered the Chicago / Signature banh mi for my husband and a tofu banh mi for myself. I really enjoyed the tofu - it was seasoned well. The baguette was a bit on the softer side so it got soggy by the time I brought it home. Though that is on me because they gave me the option to have the veggies on the side. I also ordered the matcha boba tea and the classic milk tea. They ended up forgetting my classic milk tea. It didn't end up in the original order. I ended up ordering and paying for it anyway. I think they accidentally made me the brown sugar milk tea. It was definitely too sweet. The pearls were good though. I'd come back to try the pho. read more

Heard about this place on Yelp and decided to give them a try on an early Saturday night. Located in a strip center on Army Trail Rd. Plenty of parking. Not too crowded but it was early. We decided to do takeout even tho they do have plenty of indoor seating. Booths and tables with a small bar area. Soft music playing in the background but too bright. They need to turn down the lights in my opinion. Never had Vietnamese food before we ordered Spring Rolls..2 per order...Grilled Pork Lemongrass and Shrimp. Not much flavor. The rice wrap was too gummy and the only filling besides the proteins was lettuce and rice noodles. Also tried the Roasted Pork Banh Mi sandwich. The bread was fantastic but the pork was dried out and crispy. Again very little flavor. The best dish was the Sliced Rib Eye Pho. Flavorful broth and tender beef. Again I wish there was more vegetables to add to the flavor. Maybe we just prefer the Thai version of these foods but if you are looking for a family run business and willing to experience Vietnamese food..give them a try. read more

We were visiting Daiso across the street and needed a quick lunch. We decided to get Bahn Mi and bubble tea to see if this could be a spot close to home since we just moved from the city. The Bahn Mi was okay. The bread didn't taste as crunchy and fresh as we're used to but the flavors were fine. The bubble tea was okay too. Not a bad place to try out though, because the staff is nice and the food was not bad. We might stop by to try their Pho next time since most customers came for the Pho so we are curious about it. All in all, try it out. If anything, you'll find a local spot to get a quick bite at if you're crunched for time or don't feel like cooking read more

Food was absolutely delicious. The service was very attentive. The place was very crowded, but still got the food out very quickly

I am only a fan of the social banh mi with pate, pork roll, and cold cuts. This Banh mi was better than any I've had in the city. Will defiantly be back to try other items on the menu. read more

This restaurant has become a favorite of mine. The food always fresh and portions are big. Their bahn mi's are the best and the bread is baked fresh daily which you can go buy just the bread if you like and it's super cheap. Their lobster bahn mi is the best thing ever i'm obsessed. They have great drinks too and boba's too. I would recommend going for their lunch specials. The staff is super friendly and attentive and the restaurant is small but has plenty of seating and it's very clean. It can get a little loud during lunch or dinner but not that bad you can hold a nice conversation and eat at peace. My not so hidden little gem this place is great. read more

It was so good the first time but completely mediocre the second time. We were blown away the first time we went that we cane back with our daughter and were disappointed. Our daughters fried rice cane out about 15 minutes after our pho and was very bland. My pho was wildly salty this time and they weren't as generous with the veggies (vegan pho). Dunno of there will be a third try. read more

This is a casual place and kind of small. It filled up while we there. They have a bar and can make cocktails. They have lots of smoothies and Vietnamese coffee and tea drinks. People were friendly. The food was good, but some of the meat was a little bland. The service was a little slow at times. Looks like they could have used a little more help. They certainly weee not rushing us to get out either. We had a large group of 8 people and they did accept reservations for us, which was nice. Pot stickers and egg rolls were well received. If I went back here I would try something different. There aren't a lot of Vietnamese places in my area so it was nice to find one that seems authentic. The food wasn't which is a good thing. read more

Decided to check out pholicious for date night. It was a bit of a drive but I had my heart set on trying out the restaurant because I saw a video on Instagram, and boy were they right! The food was so delicious. I got the spring rolls, Bahmi sandwich, and short rib pho. The meat was so tender and the broth was so savory. The bahmi sandwich was so good, the bread was crispy and fresh. Our server had so much patience with us, he helped explain the menu, and pointed out some of the more popular items. The service was pretty quick. I was indecisive about which drink I wanted to order, their were so many to choose from. My server was able to make the drink that I wanted. The matcha was really good, and the frozen strawberries a added bonus. Thank you again pholicious, we will definitely be back! read more

1st time here over the weekend for lunch after hearing great things from a friend for months. Did not disappoint! Loved the broth, the noodles were delicious and plentiful. I had the small make your own with beef broth and added sliced brisket, chicken and carrots. Both meats were tender. Kicker was the add your own spice, I went level 3, small side of a spicy red chili paste you can add to the broth as you like. Will definitely be going back! read more

I've been here multiple times with friends since it's a central meeting point in the suburbs for all of us. Overall, I'm impressed by the quality of pho despite being in the suburbs. Quality- my favorite is the ox tail pho with chicken wings as an appetizer. The chicken wings are very crispy and come out piping hot. The sweet/salty glaze on the wings mix really well with the texture and the chicken is well cooked. The ox tail pho has flavorful broth and the meat has such nice marbling. I have no complaints about the quality of food here. Quantity- this place doesn't skimp out here either. For 15 bucks you can get a very filling bowl of pho or rice dish. They have a huge selection of banh mi, pho, rice dishes, dry noodles, and boba. Appetizers are a ok portion size too. Atmosphere- Overall the place is clean but I'm not a fan of the music choice, volume, and distracting casino machines in the corner. If I get seated directly across the room from the gambling machines, I try to move. It is too bright. Service- I can tell they are understaffed and there are newer workers here. It can sometimes take a while to get your check or food. I don't mind waiting esp if I'm with a group here but I wouldn't come here if I was in a rush. I only come here during off hours. That's when this place really shines. read more

I came back again since I had a phenomenal first experience here, though my second visit was not as great. I ordered the exact same meal as the first visit but the quality was lacking. In particular, the bread for the banh mi was over baked and stale..they are known for making their bread fresh daily. My favorite item was the roasted pork and shrimp spring roll with a tasty sweet peanut sauce! I also loved the grilled pork bao (they ran out of roast pork bao). The sliced ribeye pho was tasty and made even better by topping it with spicy chili oil and sriracha. Service was sufficient. I liked being able to pay my bill using Apple Pay without having to wait for the server to come back. read more

After a recent visit to Vietnam, we were looking for a place in the Chicagoland area that had egg coffee. What we found was Pholicious, with its extensive and enticing menu. They offer so many great looking varieties of banh mi, pho, etc. We made a special trip out here and were not disappointed. Husband got their Chicago special banh mi, which was excellent. The bread was a particular highlight, being made in house each day. I got the Northern style pho, which was huge and tasty. For drinks, I got a bubble tea and husband got the egg coffee (still available, at this time, on their secret menu). The bubble tea was very good. The egg coffee was not like what we had in Vietnam, though it's hard to say if what we had there was touristic or authentic. Regardless, we are grateful that the pursuit of it led us to this restaurant. We will have to stop in again to work our way through their delicious menu. read more

Update: Was craving spring rolls so went back today and ordered one shrimp/pork and one chicken. Two generous rolls per order made for an awesome lunch!

Pholicious - Shrimp and pork spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

My husband and I had higher expectations given the good reviews. Food was mediocre at best. I was very annoyed that NOT ONE SINGLE ITEM WAS CHARGED AT THE MENU PRICE. We were given menus, and there was also a QR code to get the menu online as well. Pricing on the printed menu and online menu were the same but not the same amount charged for each item on our check. We ordered four items and the difference came out to just about two dollars. Regardless of the amount, the menus need to have accurate pricing. We ordered the appetizers and entrees at the same time. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled pork and shrimp spring rolls and a Chicago banh mi signature to share. My husband ordered the Northern Pho for his entree and I ordered the vegan tofu rice platter. My rice platter was the first plate to come out. I pushed it off to the side to wait for the apps About five minutes later, the appetizers of spring rolls and banh mi showed up. Thirty seconds after that, my husband's pho came out. I guess they don't care about the order of when things come out. Also, his northern pho was supposed to come with thick noodles, but they were just regular pho noodles. Lastly, there was a loud family party going on in the middle of the restaurant. I'm all for a good party and family celebrations but I did find it weird that they had a bottle of Remy 1738 on their table and were doing multiple shots with the servers. That's fine. Just odd. It got pretty rowdy and I could see how it may ruin someone's dining experience. All in all, we don't have any reason to want to come back. Do yourself a favor and go to Tasty House1 where the food and experience are superior. read more

I've been here a few times and their online ordering system is pretty easy especially if you are picking up. Their smoothies are better than a lot of other places in the area. And decent consistency on the tapioca. I've had the banh mi and spring rolls. And some of the larger entrees with pork and egg. Something about eggs just draws me in, I can't explain it. especially when it's kinda jam like over medium? I dunno. It's good to see a larger variety of restaurants in the Army Trail corridor.
