Whelp, this week, some friends and I were going to see a friends show nearby and I was like guys, I think I know a place... The restaurant is actually in a strip mall, just inside the entrance to a grocery store. Not sure if they're owned by the same people or not. You go inside the doors and then turn right before you enter the proper grocery store. It honestly doesn't look like much more than a room with 6-7 four tops. But service is great. They give you a menu with like literally 80 choices in it. They have everything from curries to bahn mi and everything in between. But the meal I used to get all the time was "#48" which is these thin white noodles with an almost crispy meat (I get beef but you can get pork or chicken too), fresh sliced veggies, a thin brothy sauce that I just poor on top, and an egg roll sliced into pieces. I know I didnt make it sound great, but listen, the combo all together is outta sight. Not heavy, but an ample portion. Not spicy, but just addictive. It's incredibly good. Only reason I'd give 4 stars is that one of my friends got a curry and wasn't in love with it. But my other friend got the 48 with pork and said it was excellent. In 15 years, that dish has not changed. So glad that the place is still there and that the food is still so, so tasty. Man, forget it. He ordered the wrong thing. Gotta bump it to 5.

One good thing about the place, they are open at 9am, was excited to get some pho for breakfast. The place isn't fancy. Layout is simple, typical Asian layout, typical Asian tables and chairs. :-) After looking at the menu, went with: - Banh Cong - Crispy Shrimp cake - Pho Tai Nam - rice noodles soup with beef brisket and beef flank Banh Cong - literally it's a cup cake with one crispy shrimp on top. It's very dense.. tried to break it up into four pieces, dipped it into the sauce, wrapped it in the lettuce that came with it. I also added the pickled peppers that was on the dining table. Unfortunately, I only had one before I gave up. Pho Tai Nam was decent, but lacked deep flavor that I was expecting. The beef flank was tough, chewy, and wasn't a fan of the fats on those meats. If I'm in town next, I'll try their rice plates and entrees from their menu. For now, two stars.

I was honestly surprised by how affordable their prices are--probably because it's right across from a college. We ordered the Chicken and Broccoli with rice ($11.50), Banh Mi with sautéed beef ($9.75), and Street Noodles with BBQ pork ($10.95). For the price, this place is definitely worth checking out, especially compared to how expensive food has gotten elsewhere. We really enjoyed everything except the street noodles, which had a strong anise flavor that wasn't quite to our taste. But overall, the food was fresh, flavorful and had a big serving. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be back!

The food is absolutely incredible The Bún Bò Huế (spicy Hue-style beef noodle soup) is hands down a must The broth is rich, bold, and perfectly spiced with deep layers of flavor--it's seriously one of the best bowls you'll find anywhere. We also love the Chả Giò (crispy fried egg rolls)--super crunchy on the outside with a flavorful, savory filling that hits every time The Bún Bò Nướng Chả Giò (vermicelli bowl with grilled beef & egg rolls) is fresh, loaded, and perfectly balanced with herbs, noodles, and grilled meat The Bún Tôm Nướng Chả Giò (vermicelli bowl with grilled shrimp & egg rolls) is just as good--light, flavorful, and super satisfying And the Cơm Bì Sườn Chả (grilled pork chop with shredded pork skin and steamed pork meatloaf) is packed with flavor and always cooked perfectly What really makes this place special though is the people The owners are some of the nicest, most genuine people you'll ever meet--always friendly, welcoming, and they treat you like family. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese & Thai food in Chicago, this spot is a must. Amazing food, amazing people, and after 10+ years... still one of our all-time favorites

Came here with a group of friends and our kids. We were seated right away but were not given menus…read more We had to get up and grab menus ourselves. I ordered the bun bo hue (beef, pork sausage, pork knuckles, and vermicelli noodles) while hubby had the bun nem nuong cha gio (grilled pork meatball vermicelli noodle salad bowl) and asked for extra noodles to share with our child. They forgot to bring out the extra noodles and had to ask multiple times for them. All of our dishes came out at various times. There was about a 30-40 minute gap between when the first dish and the last person's dish was served. They forgot to bring out a pho tai (which shouldn't take that long to prepare) and got one of our friend's orders mixed up. We literally asked at least 3-5 times for these two missing dishes and the kids in our group were super hungry. I enjoyed the flavor of my bun bo hue but wouldn't endure this lack of service again in the future.

The…read morePho was very good and the vegetables they serve with them were cleaned well, some restaurants do not clean the vegetables they give you. The grilled pork chop with broken rice was nice as well. I wish the pork chop had more of a crust and they would have given more of the sauce but I'm sure they would have given more sauce if we have asked. We also had the shrimp spring rolls and they were good. The only thing I would say is that they did not put much rice noodles in the spring roll and it was mostly greens with the shrimp. The sauce was tasty and they put peanut halves in it so be careful because most times they chop the peanuts up before placing it in the sauce. Overall a good experience and I will be back to see if they are consistent on the food.
