So glad this place opened in our suburbs! Best thing on the menu is the combination vermicelli bowl (noodle salad) but... everything there is solid. Try the banh xeo crepe on the appetizer menu! My kids love the fried rice too. It?s a large space andvery clean which makes me feel a little better about eating there during covid. Don?t forget to bring cash! Read more
Good Southeast Asian food. The bubble tea was good and well made. There are numerous pho options and the one we ordered was... amazing. The portions were huge. We also ordered fried rice that had a great basil and cilantro flavor. Read more
Very clean, open seating. Very authentic pho, this is the best in the suburbs, hands down. Ive tried a few in the area and... their Broth is the best. Broth has just the right spices, served piping hot with your choice of cuts of beef. (I like the combo,my wife prefers just the eye of round steak) They serve it with all the garnishes of thai basil, jalepenos, and bean sprouts.You get a BIG bowl. Trust me your not going home hungry. When i was done , it looked like there was as much left as when Istarted. I gladly took the rest home! They have hot/cooked pork and beef bahn mi. Crisp baguette and nicely pickled vegetables.Put a little hoisen or siracha if you like it spicy. I shared the appetizer plate... Shrimp egg rolls right of the fryer nicehot and crispy. Spring rolls were on point, great peanut sauce to go with it. This place is excellent, I hope more people findout about this because they serve some great food here. The staff are very humble, polite. CASH only, but they do have an ATMin the lobby in case you need it. Read more
Clean. newly opened a year ago. Staffs are kind. Taste is good. Price is reasonable. However, they only accept cash.
Viet Taste has the best Pho soups in the entire NW Chicago suburbs. We moved here from DC, where we have tried some really... delicious Pho soups in several authentic places. When moved to Chicago area we were on the mission to find a new favorite spotwith great Pho soup. We tried so many places but couldn?t settle on one. We heard from friends here that Viet Taste was openingright in our neighborhood. We anticipated the opening date for few months. Now that it?s opened we are the regulars there andoften are greeted by the owner (extremely nice person who really cares about the customers). My husband loves tendon soup and Iprefer the brisket (my go to are #40 or #44) I also highly recommend my other favorite #25 Bún Combo Shrimp and lemongrass porkand egg roll (So delicious!) We highly recommend their smoothies as well. Our favorites are Piña Colada and Kiwi. We haven?ttried all of them though, but I bet they are all delicious. Read more
Came here during lunch time (12:30pm) on a Saturday and it was pretty empty inside. This place is pretty new so word probably... hasn't gotten out yet. But I give it a 5 because the food was good, staff was friendly (family own), and the place was clean. Ifyou know true vietnamese coffee, you know it's hard to find, but it's here. It's not for the average coffee drinker because it'sstronger than the avg coffee. It's good for the owner to keep the "Vietnamese Coffee" true to it's taste. Read more
Good pho no big complaints. A bit on the salty and sweeter side. Their appetizer combo was really good. Warning they only accept... cash. Read more
