    Best Pho in suburb area !
    I don't have to drive to Chicago any more.
    Spring rolls were awesome.

    What a pho'king GEM!!

    This place is worth every penny!! I can't believe how much flavor is packed into every bowl. I always have to get beef pho with the beef fat on the side. DO IT!! Add as much as you want in your bowl.

    The pork chop entree is amazing as well but you must add a fried egg!

    The staff here is super nice and very attentive. You feel very comfortable whole dining here.

    I would highly recommend bringing your mothers brothers cousin, your sisters uncles dad and your friends aunts daughter! Haha bring everyone because it's that good!

    Ahhhhh yes. Pho close by my house...finally!
    I was aware that this place had opened up a while back, but I never ventured over there to sit down at the actual restaurant.
    One fateful Sunday morning after a night of...adult beverages with friends, I woke up with a strong need to cleanse my soul of my sins the only way I know how. A big ole' bowl of beef and noodles.
    I can't speak on service or anything because I summoned the cure via delivery service.
    The pho was awesome. I appreciated that the meat was already pre-cooked to my liking because I really just wanted to be able to pour everything into a bowl and go without needing to re-boil the broth.
    Great broth, great brisket and thin beef, plentiful sides of bean sprouts and all that other good stuff. The only thing I'd want is for them to be a little bit more generous with the amount of noodles included, but for the price and convenience, I can't complain much. Will definitely order again, and potentially come to sit down and eat in the future.

    Well, if this wasn't the best veggie pho I've ever eaten, then I didn't eat it.
    I was actually next door to Pho Tam to pickup dry cleaning, and i saw this place many times but didn't look inviting from the outside. This time it was a bit chilly outside and i was thinking that some warm pho would be perfect... and IT WAS!
    The place was really clean and the cloth tables were a nice touch. The noodles weren't as delish as i'd hope they'd be, but the broth made up for it.

    I haven't gotten sick in so long so when it finally caught up to me, I forced myself out of bed to dive deep into a bowl of soup. Pho sounded like a great remedy, and I took the opportunity to check this place out.

    I love that you can customize your own bowl and pick from 6 different types of meats: eye round steak, beef flank, meatballs, brisket, tendon, tripe . I opted for the brisket and the steak (it says on the menu you can choose doneness but my server didn't ask me). My soup came lightning fast. It's exactly what I wanted - a very big bowl with lots of broth and meats. The ratio of broth to noodles to proteins was perfect.

    What knocked off 1 star: I wasn't checked on after I got my order. Sure, I just got a bowl of pho and was by my lonesome, but I would've appreciated it anyways.

    A couple of things I liked: 1) their chopsticks are encased in branded sleeves 2) they leave you a carafe of water at the table 3) the drinking glasses seemed high quality (very thick and heavy)
