Bún Bò Huế (Spicy beef soup) is outstanding! I also recommend the shrimp spring rolls ??

I had the Bun Rieu and found it thoroughly enjoyable. It was hearty, refreshing, and came with generous portions of tofu and crab cake. The service is also very friendly.

ABU VO
I've eaten here a few times before, everything was ok. But last week I took a friend out to eat and had a terrible experience. I didn't expect Bun Bo Hue to be so terrible. It's like they just boiled a pot of filtered water and then put in a jar of satay and a few pieces of beef cut with a blunt knife, it was big and very thick. I only saw a few women in the restaurant at that time. Maybe they changed the chef. Don't let people who don't know how to cook cook.When paying at the counter, I wrote a tip (about 20% for extremely bad food) for them on the bill and took the food to the car first, but then another waiter ran out and spoke loudly. The sound of asking my wife about tips. While there were many guests there. Feels very rude.I think the restaurant owner should talk to the staff about this issue. Those who come here to eat should pay attention to this issue. I will never come back here again.

I love a neighborhood classic Vietnamese restaurant - I've been here a few times, both with friends and by myself, and it's a solid spot for good Vietnamese food. The crab rangoons are decent (I've had better at other places in the city), but the coconut shrimp is delicious. I was debating that or the firecracker shrimp because I was in the mood for shrimp and asked the workers what she recommended and she confidently said coconut shrimp and she did not steer me wrong. I most recently got their pho #8 (solid pho, the beef tendon and tripe is good). Idk if it's the best pho but it's a tough competition in this city. Either way, yummy and the large fills more than a small kitchen pot (I know because I was reheating my takeout in a pot and it wasn't even the whole container). I've also had some of their bun dishes with pork / tried their cha gio and that was super good.

Still the best Pho I have ever had in Chicago. I haven't been since they expanded the restaurant and the menu. I didn't take a picture of the Braised Catfish but it was delicious. Next time I get double the sliced beef.

My pho was missing meatballs and I never got my drink. Pho is a great size, the banh mi was rather dry. So price to quality is meh, but portions make up for it.

Absolutely delicious food and nice service. The perfect place for a warm bowl of Pho or noodles.
food was ok, service from waiter was horrible. he has bad attitude and walks away from the table before we even finish talking about our order.

Bun Bo Hue is a huge standout, so flavorful and the herbs served with the noodle dishes are all so fresh. Such kind staff, great restaurant for bringing kids as well!

Although I haven't been to LC Pho in awhile I had a taste this past Sunday for their delicious spring rolls, and knew I had to make a visit. They're just okay, they're still fresh, filled with shrimp, mint, cucumber, but missing the wafer they used to put in them. What I didn't like about this place was it wasn't as friendly as it used to be, like when Audra (?) was there, she was always welcoming. Just wondering if this place changed hands?? The person who took my order (new owner??) wasn't very friendly, so I didn't feel like tipping him! Also I kept on noticing food particles on the kitchen floor while the cook was preparing my order and I also noticed a lot of dirty dishes left on the tables after the previous customers left, this really left a bad taste in my mouth. BTW, not surprised there was a cockroach in somebody's carryout order, so sanitary conditions are not the best at LC Pho! Which begs the question, what are you really getting here? I want to know these kind of things before I decide to patronize a place. Another thing I didn't like was how much they they jacked up their prices?? $8 for (2) spring rolls, which I believe used to be around $4.50!!! Even their carryout menu had high prices for a supposedly budget restaurant, which is a definite game-changer for me. So NOT going back!
