After being denied due to a crazy long line for Paper Machete my friends and I decided to warm away our blues with some pho. We knew we could just go up the block to Argyle Ave but that also seemed to be pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon so we did a quick search and came across Little Vietnam just a little further north and drove that way. It's a great spot with a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes at reasonable prices. The combination pho I ordered had a nice broth with a decent amount of sliced meat and noodles. The shrimp spring rolls I ordered as an appetizer were also really good and I liked that all of the vegetables in the rolls and as toppings for the pho tasted crispy and fresh. My friend ordered a pork banh mi along with his soup that looked really good and it was big enough that he was able to take half of it home for later. The staff were very friendly. They did say that they could only take cash or Zelle payments at the time due to their card reader not working but that was not a problem for us. The inside has a very relaxed feel. Our waiter offered us a free fried banana dessert which was very appreciated. Next time I'd probably order some coffee to go with it.

So good! Such good service by the old lady who runs this place. Pho was the best I've had in Chicago so far and ambiance is great! This place only takes cash or zelle so note that, but the lady was so sweet she gave me and my friends dessert on the house

Stopped by for pho with my friends and had the most amazing service in a cozy atmosphere! The food was delicious, definitely will be back!!

Came by here for dinner on a Saturday night in October and to our surprise it was pretty empty. Been wanting to try this place for a while as it's across the street from my barber and I always noticed it. The lady who served us was suuuuper friendly! So nice the entire time. We ordered eggs rolls to start and then combo pho orders each as our entrees. The egg rolls were small to be honest. There were three of them, but for the price-point, I feel like they skimped out on size or at least the inside contents of an egg roll. They tasted good though, however. The pho on the other hand we both really liked. The broth was excellent. The noodles were cooked perfectly as well. Our server kept making sure to refill our waters and also brought us chili oil and sauce containers per our request with no hesitation. And the end of our meal, she said she'd give us a friend banana dessert to-go for free just because! What a nice surprise. Will absolutely come back to support and get more pho!

The food is excellent especially the vegetarian pho. It has an excellent broth enhanced by lots of gently fried tofu, vegetables and noodles. Then to top it off there is a side plate with very fresh Thai basil, bean sprouts, and spicy hot peppers. All combined makes for a scrumptious broth! With or without the peppers The restaurant is cheerful, friendly with excellent service. Do yourself a favor, and try this little gem!

It's my first time to order Pho here, usually I would go to Argyle but let me tell you about Little Vietnam. Food : Pho is really good. I think any Vietnamese restaurant who can't cook Pho right shouldn't be open at all. Service : very good. Although my food was to go, the lady that assisted me was very courteous and friendly. She even instructed me on heating procedure on Pho. Price : Fairly decent. Not too pricey.

We ordered take out here one night we were feeling lazy and didn't know what to eat. Pho is always my go-to meal if I'm not craving anything in particular. I've been wanting to try Little Vietnam for a while because they're so close to home. I ordered my usual pho tai and I'll say the broth is nice and flavorful. What was disappointing are the serving sizes. We were probably given 4-5 slices of meat (half of a regular size portion at other restaurants). But it was nice they gave us the regular fixins so I could bulk up my pho. Maybe I'll try a combo or just ask for extra meat next time but the pho prices are already on the pricer side as well. I'd also be willing to try to dine-in - maybe that's a totally different experience.

PHO CHAY. If you don't eat the meat, this is all you need to know. It is hands down, THE BEST vegetarian pho around. Once, Little Vietnam was closed and we had to go to another place around the corner. I was very disappointed with the other place's flavorless broth and ratio of too-many-noodles-to-vegetables. Little Vietnam, on the other hand, gets it just right. I love the springy, lightly fried tofu and perfectly tender veggies, but the broth is the star. It has such a complex flavor from what must be an expansive array of spices. We were also told the broth is simmered for many hours, and the staff are clearly proud of it! As far as I can tell, it is also vegan. I can't imagine any dairy being in such a clean broth. Truthfully, I am afraid to ask because I do not want to stop eating this pho chay. It is generally the only thing I order now. But overall, the food is just mouth wateringly delicious! I used to eat meat and really loved the bun noodle salad with grilled pork. People who know, know. This is the place. You'll see couples, big families, and single people all there for the food and excellent service. Our favorite server always takes good care of us!
