    Pho
    Ruth L.

    One of our go to Viet spots. Decent price, fast service, and delicious food. Sizable menu and kids options here make it family friendly for us. Recommend: Special pho or beef pho Banh xeo Banh mi sandwiches Beef or chicken Noodle bowls Pork and sausage entree Medium size restaurant, plenty of seating. Can accommodate a large group if needed.

    We have tried Com Dia in quite a few local restaurants and Viet Taste honestly has one of the best Lemongrass Grilled Chicken Com Dia's we've had. My wife had the Chicken Pho with Beef broth. The chicken was shredded and not in giant chunks, which for us, is a more tasty option. We will definitely be returning and this establishment only accepts cash, but there is an ATM in the cashier area.

    Viet Taste is a great Vietnamese restaurant in Palatine. There is a large dining room and a separate carry-out area as well. All of the food is amazing. My husband and I are big fans of their pho, salads, and combination appetizer plate. Watch out though, the portions are huge! The service is a little slow at times but it doesn't get in the way of a good time.

    visited on a monday for lunch and it was pretty empty so we were able to get a booth. got a high chair as well for my son. i got the pho tai nam while my husband got the pho dac biet. we were impressed with the taste and portion size. the broth was great as is. there was a good amount of meat as well. the bathrooms were clean. the food came out fast. the only thing lacking was the service. not bad but not great. will be back though!

    Combination pho
    Gretchen M.

    Luv this neighborhood gem located in a strip mall in Paletine. Everything is delicious and tastes like your grandma made it!!!! The pho broth has true depth of flavor like it's been simmering for hours to get maximum taste! We also luv the bahn mi the bread is always warm & crusty but soft and filled with tender pork or beef and the pickled veggies and crisp cucumber!! Feels like you got it from Paris or Vietnam!!! The service is top notch all the servers are knowledgeable about each dish and give great recommendations!! Ask for Rico when you go. Not only is he an awesome server but he also cooks usually on Sunday!! We luv coming on Sunday because the food is always on point!! Don't forget to order boba with your meals very tasty and great compliment to all the dishes!! Our family favorite is either the Thai tea or avacado!! With all the wintery weather Viet Taste is an awesome choice for a warm comforting meal to chase the chilly blues away!!!

    Love Love Love ... we've tried several Pho places in the area & yes there are plenty of good places but the food here is always amazing & really quick! Plus they offer other choices not just Pho ... which is also very nice. The service is pleasant & they are always helpful ... the restaurant and rest rooms are clean - they do remind you it is "cash only" and we do remember to bring cash (although there is an ATM available).

    So delicious!! The best pho I have ever had. I came in for lunch and wasn't sure on what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The dining room is large and very nice. They had appetizers, pho, bahn mi, & a large selection of smoothies and boba teas. I ordered the brisket pho. The broth was the standout. It was so flavorful yet light. The noodles and meat were cooked perfectly. They also give you a large plate of basil, jalapeños, onions & bamboo shoots. Service was friendly and efficient. Major props to the server- he was handling over 15 tables, the cash register & the smoothies. He didn't miss a beat either! I'll definitely be back!!!

    Starter Plate for 3
    Angel P.

    Best Pho place in the area! Viet taste is our go to for Pho, it is always made very delicious and bowls are good portions with alot of noodles and beef depending what kind you order. They also have other dinner plates not just Pho so theres something for everyone. We got the starter plate for 3 as appetizers which came with spring rolls, chicken and shrimp egg-rolls! They also have smoothies/boba teas, and Vietnamese Iced coffee which is strong but delicious. Service is always good with friendly staff always checking on us. The place is pretty big so theres always enough seating. This place is CASH ONLY but they have ATM inside if needed!

    I have been to Viet Taste a number of times, for dine-in as well as carry-out.  Most recently, I went there on a Saturday around noon, and it was not too crowded.  This time, I had the combo soup noodle - with beef slices, brisket, tendon, tripe, and meat ball. What I like about Viet Taste is its quick service.  The soup noodle came out in about 5 minutes after I had placed the order.  It was quite tasty, although some tiny pieces of beef slice were a bit chewy. But I would say that it was an exception rather than a normalty.  Usually, the beef was pretty tender.  Overall, the soup noodle bowl was delicious, and I liked it. It should be noted that Viet Taste only accepts cash.  And it is not just for dine-in. For this reason, you cannot order carry-out online (and pay by credit card). You have to call-in by phone and then pay cash when you pick up the order. Viet taste is a good Vietnamese eating place, with quick service and reasonable prices.  I would recommend it.

    Takeout Pho Tai Nam
    Cici C.

    Really pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of the food. The price was good but probably because they are cash only! So need to be ready for that! Take-home pho is really difficult to get right, but they do it well and everything stayed super fresh. Ingredients were all very clean and high quality/fresh/crunchy. Pho broth acidity is just right and hits the spot. Bahn mi was a good size too, pork was tender and sweet, cilantro and jalapeño were large and fresh too. The pickled veggies were good, but I think I would prefer it more flavorful (like more intensely sour and sweet), but it might not be the intended flavor profile they are going for. Either way, it was still really really good. Definitely would come back.

    Had Viet Taste bookmarked and since I was sort of in the area had to check it out. It was cold out and pho hit the spot. Broth was flavorful, tons of meat, and fresh veggies. The Banh Xeo, Vietnamese crepe was huge. Tons of filling and crispy outer. Service was great. Will definitely be back again

    Was feeling the need for Vietnamese. Looked on Yelp , found some good reviews, and decided to take a drive up up 53... a bit further than I thought it would be... Order was done super fast, ambiance could be better, but standard for a strip mall. Service is good, and it's cute the kids help out this obviously family business. Ordered the wrong soup because l did it in a rush (creamy vs. clear), but the shrimp bun was decent if not what I was used to, and a future go-to spot... since To Pho is under remodeling.

    What an incredible operation! Great menu, lots of options, high quality ingredients, GF options…read more(yay for me!), and facility is clean and inviting. Not sure if it was the owner who gave me a sample of the peanut butter granola and peanut butter chia pudding, but it was a perfect helping just "to try" and, wow, but my heart was warmed when a person of need walked into the place and she she handed him a banana. It was clear that the interaction was routine, but she had no problem giving him something to eat and it made me so joyous to see such a charitable thing. She also spoke to him like a person, not as someone that would be less because he has less. Clearly this place is run by a good person too. Bonus: the young man behind the counter made a little too much for my small smoothie so upgraded my size at no charge. Thank and God bless!

    Perfect place on a hot summer day! This place has menu items that is pleasing to drink or eat when…read moreit is hot out or if you are in need of a smoothie or protein / healthy drink after a good workout! I came here on a hot summer day after dining for lunch outside at a restaurant nearby. If I would have known earlier about this place, I would have saved some room to try their acai bowls. Parking - lots of free parking near Outdoor walk through option available for those that have dogs and want to order / pick up from outside. Atmosphere - great to come hangout with friends, family or by yourself to get some work / reading done. Washroom - the toilets don't flush well and it wasn't the most clean washroom I've seen.. Costs - ranges from $5.99-$13+ depending on what you order.. may be costly for a drink but it's yummy & fresh fruit! Handcrafted bowls, breakfast bowls, smoothies to wellness shots Pink Flamingo Smoothie ($8.59 small / $10.59 regular) - the smoothie isn't only pretty in color but also tastes great! It is healthy with its mixture of fruits and not too sweet, just right on sweetness level (doesn't tastes like those drinks loaded with sugar)..if you like extremely sweet drinks maybe ask for more agave nectar added I'll be back to try their acai bowls if I'm in the area
