This place is amazing! The menu may seem small but the items are packed full of flavor! My husband and I ordered the spring rolls which came with lettuce wraps, cucumber and mint. I thought that was a nice touch and great attention to detail. The sauce on the side was not over poweringly sweet but more vinegary. It complimted the dish well. We also ordered the winter rolls which had beef in them. The beef was nice and tender to my surprise. We ordered the curry chicken soup and the pho. Great portion sizes and full of flavor! Great quality, tender meat in the soups also. The owner was very friendly and so was the rest of the staff! We live out of town and can't wait to come back!

This is a new Vietnamese place in the area. It made me so excited since I haven't found any "solely Vietnamese" places in town. I love vermicelli on a good summer day. Their chicken vermicelli bowl really hit the spot. You can't try Vietnamese food without Vietnamese coffee, it complements the full experience really well. The server was very welcoming and nice. It's a small family run restaurant with a mom and two siblings. They have pretty quick services and check in on you to make sure you're enjoying your meal. Probably the best Vietnamese food I've had in Champaign thus far (that's saying something since I've been here for +9 years or so). I'm definitely making another trip back here soon.

The flavor is awesome and the owner is super nice. The only thing slightly negative is the price to portion ratio. With the price being on the higher end when compared to that of similar food in town, I would hope the portion could be larger. Other that, everything is great. I hope they will stay!!!

Probably one of the top restaurants in the area imo. Their current menu is limited but it really is a strength here. I've tried every single item on the menu and it's difficult to find anything even remotely average. Everything is prepared with care and tastes even better. The dining area is pleasant with a flare of 80's nostalgia sprinkled around you in the form of arcade cabinets and 80's tv shows playing on the tubes. And the staff and owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet. This time around we ordered spring rolls, beef noodle salad bowl, Bahn mi sandwich and pho. The spring rolls were fresh and the peanut based sauce is the perfect compliment. I could order a few of these and have a completely satisfied meal. The beef noodle salad bowl is exactly as described. Refreshing with a wonderful combination of ingredients. I crave it just thinking about it. Top it off with an eggroll for more deliciousness. The bahn mi sandwich was equally great. The bread had the perfect crisp you expect from a bahn mi and the pork flavor is a treat for the taste buds. And finally the pho. I've tried pho at many other restaurants but this is just out of this world. I'm not sure how they do it but the broth is to die for. Combine that with the fresh ingredients and different cuts of beef and with the right touch of spiciness and you have the perfect pho. If all they served was this I'd still come back every week. Don't miss this absolute gem!

Service not bad for soft opening. Pho good and summer rolls real good. The crossing always pleasant. How dat sound!?

Amazing Pho!! The restaurant was super clean, the food was fresh and delicious, and the customer service was excellent. The owner came out and delivered our food. The pho broth is slow cooked for 24 hours and the sauces are homemade (we had the crab rangoon and spring rolls). Everything is made to order - you can tell they really care about freshness and authenticity of their food! Highly recommend!

The food is so fresh and good. We had the spring rolls, Vietnamese style, with lettuce, cucumber and mint to wrap. So good. We also tried the pork buns. The lemongrass chicken was perfect and will make you smile. The roast pork plate is very good too. Now, the pho is excellent. And the service was very attentive. You should try for yourself.

Noodle salad bowl with beef is refreshing and flavorful, pork chop rice plate is tasty too.

Excellent choice for anyone looking for fresh and authentic. Great location in SW Champaign. Formerly in the Broadway Food Hall.

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! The Pho and Lemongrass Chicken was very tasty. Along with the Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls. We had yet to try the Pork Chop. Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you for giving us the authentic Vietnamese food experience.
Best Pho in town. Loved the food. I had pho and egg rolls. Would get both again. Wayne was super cool, and helped with making my decisions on what to order.

I have been here several times- the food is consistently good and its really high quality VN food. The noodle bowl is delicious! The pho is also extremely good! over the course of my last few visits I have had a chance to sample most of the menu and there really isn’t a bad choice…. It’s not the kind of place where they have one or two good dishes and everything else is meh this is a place where you can go in and order anything on the menu and have faith that it’s going to be well prepared and delicious.

First time visit as 83 has just open recently. There was no wait and we ordered our food. Food came to table fresh and prepared in authentic Vietnamese fashion. We had the fresh spring rolls and a bowl of Pho. Everything was very flavorful. Don't miss this hidden gem.
