I was not expecting such an authentic bibimbap in a random basement food court in the loop. It tastes just like home ?. The ingredients are so fresh.

Usually in all Vietnamese soupo restaurants already when you order the soup there is already meat inside when I ordered here either the waiter misunderstood me or I didn’t make the right order in general I ordered soup without meat and it turned out just water and noodles for 9 dollars that’s how I am ate Next time I will be careful and when you order, check what you order

There is no pho like basement pho. Crazily, I got soup from them at 9:30am ON A SATURDAY.Specifics FYI: If you’re already in the neighborhood and need a quick noodle soup fix, they do the job.They’re inside a building’s downstairs food court. Credit accepted.

When I go downtown, I want to eat here. The food is delicious. I ordered the P3 Pho Combination, which includes beef, shrimp, seafood, clam shell, fish plate, etc.
This is one of my top five best kept secrets Downtown Chicago. As far as Pho is concerned, their Special will restore you on the spot if you're dealing with one of these merciless Chicago weather days. I'm not here to compare their menu to what Argyle used to be a couple of decades ago. I'm just thinking in terms of Downtown Chicago standards.

Found this place after searching online for "Korean food" near our hotel in Chicago. Turns out it serves Vietnamese food such as pho along with Korean entrees.We had one bowl of pho and one plate of beef bulgogi. Both were fine -- not exceptional but good enough to satisfy a craving for fast Asian food. For what it's worth, despite PHO being in the name of the business, we think the proprietors may be Korean. K-Pop music was playing on a loop in the background, and it sounded as though the man taking orders was Korean.This place is in a small food court in the basement of an office building. The other restaurant in the food court serves Mexican food. You'll miss it if you don't look for the sign outside the building.

I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem in Chicago that serves an excellent beef bibimbap. Tucked away in the heart of the bustling city, this little spot is amazing. The beef bibimbap here is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The perfectly marinated beef is tender and succulent, complemented by a rainbow of fresh, crunchy vegetables. The crispy rice on the bottom adds a delightful contrast. Topped with a rich, savory sauce, every bite is a burst of deliciousness. Don't miss this hidden gem if you're a fan of Korean cuisine in Chicago!
Good lunch spot when working. Filling and affordable, as well as tasty! Would come back.

The place was a bit hard to find, as you have to go into the building past front desk check, down stairs into what seems to be the building cafeteria.The portion was quite small for the price.We had Pho, BahnMi sandwich, fried tofu, Bimbipop, and teriyaki chicken.There weren't very many condiments at all for the pho, even when asked they didn't have any and the food flavor was bland overallThe staff was quite nice though.In a crunch I'd go back but won't go out of my way for it.

I have been going here for years and it is the best pho I have tried in Chicago. I think it is the broth that is so good which is homemade, this is a family business! :)
