    Inside

    Run by a cute family, first time inside and wow clean! Usually I get delivery. Amazing food, nice people and I will continue to order from her. Little hidden them in Kenosha, I've lived here all my life and just this year I started ordering. Wish I would've tried it earlier.

    House Special Pho with beef shank, tenderloin, chicken, and beef meat balls
    Chris E.

    I stopped in for lunch this afternoon for the first time and was very glad I did. Pho is one of my top 5 favorite foods in the world and I was beyond excited when I heard a Vietnamese restaurant was opening near my house. For this visit, I ordered the House Special Pho with beef shank, tenderloin, chicken, and beef meat balls. This was the first time having chicken in my Pho, so I was excited to taste something new. The meat and noodles were cooked perfectly, the chicken and beef were tender, and the noodles were nicely al dente. In regards to the broth, I did notice that it was very light compared to the other Pho I have had, but overall it was flavorful and mellow. It seemed to grow on me the more I slurped. The only gripe I had with my whole experience was that the Pho menu does not offer tripe, which is one of my favorite ingredients. No biggie though. Unusual beef cow parts are not for everyone. Also, as a side note, the bean sprouts are already added to your Pho ahead of time and only a sprig of basil and a fresh lime are served on the side. If you are a bean sprout freak, they did say you can always ask for more. Saigon Cafe is a great addition to the Kenosha food scene and a wonderfully affordable place for lunch.

    Tofu sandwich is amazing! :)

    Yes, this place is not the best compare to many restaurants in the city, but it's not bad at all for Kenosha. 1. Pho is bland, but add more sauces n vegetables it will be perfect. 2. Ca ri ga, grill plate, and their sandwiches are delicious. (Must try) 3. Boba drinks are not bad either. Perfect level of sweetener. I love coming here because of the warm welcoming services and their foods are made from heart.

    Normally egg foo young lokks like a patty and is gloden brown and firm. This had no shape and no good flavor.  I took this picture at home.

    See all

    Always the best Chinese food in Kenosha. The building is small but the food is great.

We walked in and we were told my the server to sit anywhere. We both ordered the number 31, Pho Dac Biet as well as an order of spring rolls. It was about 15 minutes until our spring rolls arrive and about 30 minutes until we got our bowl of pho. The spring rolls smelled like they were rolled on a dirty rag. They smelled bad. They were also missing ingredients inside them. The pho broth was way too sweet, it had too much ginger. There was very little meat and they gave me half the noodles they were supposed to be in my bowl. It's clear they are choosing profits over quality now.. It was so disappointing because I remember this place once being the go to for pho. That's not the case anymore... We also had to wave the server down because she was not very tentative to us. I love supporting small businesses but when they deserve it. To give me half of what I paid for is just plain theft. Overall. Dont waste your time.. there is better pho out there.. just make the drive.

The fresh vegetables for the Pho were excellent in it. I think the broth could've been a lot hotter and the crispy eggroll. they could've been hotter. It was a little sweet the pho broth, but I do enjoy this place. The service is good and they give you a gigantic bowl of pho. Good fresh food, portions

    Everyone needs a clutch restaurant. The place that always comes through. It's convenient,…read moreconsistent, and, most of all, incredibly good. I've had many clutch spots over the years as I moved around, but it took me a minute to find my North Shore go-to. But here I am, a local for half a year now, and my go-to is Ni's, 100%. Lisa, the owner extraordinaire, is friendly, engaging, and an absolute customer service star. Not to mention a formidable chef. She has an obvious passion for food and its cultural history, and I love talking with her about it. The whole crew at Ni's is awesome and always happy to chat or handle any dish alterations. They clearly care about their clientele, and it's one of the things that keeps me coming back. My "must have" is the veggie summer rolls. I get them every time. Really, really good. And after living in the Vietnamese neighborhood of San Francisco for a few years, eating out almost daily, I've had my fair share of summer rolls. The produce at Ni's is always fresh, and I love how they cleverly use jicama for crunch. The rolls come with peanut sauce, but Ni's makes a delicious vegan fish sauce in-house that I go with almost every time. Banh Mi, Veggie Pho, Crispy Tofu, Fried Rice, I've had everything on the menu that is vegan or can be made so, and I'll gladly order them all again and again. This is not an all-vegan restaurant by any stretch (fear not, meat eaters), but Lisa goes out of her way to have options, and I've never been anything but satisfied. Even my kindergartner is into the veggie Pho broth and summer rolls, and he's not the easiest to please. Wilmette is lucky to have Ni's. I hope everyone knows that. They're tucked around the corner from the busier area of Central Ave and Wilmette Ave, and I've been doing my best to spread the word. "You've never been to Ni's?! Get the hell outta here.." So, if you didn't know, now you do. You're welcome.

The spring rolls were probably previously frozen. They were not served with nouc mam, but rather a bottled sweet chili sauce. I really hope they read this review. We want them to flourish and to succeed. Grab that fish sauce! Make a real nouc mam! Make a real crispy double fried fresh spring roll! Your broth is pretty good. I hope the next time we go back, we will see a more authentic approach to your food.
