My family and I have been coming for years but recently the experience left much to be desired.We arrived lunch time during full house which was exciting for us to see. We sat down only to be left alone for 12 minutes waiting for a waitress or waiter to come take our order. Even the table who came after us ended up ordering and then receiving their food before us.When we received our first dish the spring rolls, they looked tasty but was not filled with much of anything as we expected herbs and such. The wrapper was also tough seemingly left in the fridge.Our Pho came out and we were happy to see the quantity of food even though it was a small. The broth itself was much sweeter than what we...
Their PHO is good and fresh especially Pho Ga (chicken). Bun BO Hue (spicy Hue style noodle) is awesomely good. I also love their ice coffee, however I dnt think it’s made to order but probably pre dripped.We’ve been coming here at least twice a month for years and love them. The friendly, enthusiastic waitress Trang is always happy to greet customers. The only complaint I have after Covid is that they do NOT give water of any kinds. You have to buy their bottle waters for $1/each which is not expensive at all but water is not something I want to pay at a restaurant.
Pho 5 Lua is a true hidden gem in Chicago, serving unforgettable Vietnamese cuisine. Their pho stands out with its rich, aromatic broth and perfectly cooked meats. The menu also includes tasty spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches. With a cozy atmosphere and attentive service, it creates a delightful dining experience. The reasonable prices make it a must-visit for anyone who loves Vietnamese food. Be sure to experience the authentic flavors of Pho 5 Lua during your time in Chicago.
They've changed! Perhaps there's a new chef? We've been loyal customers since they opened and never considered going anywhere else for pho because their broth was exceptional and the portions were generous. However, our recent visits have all been disappointing, with dishes being overly salty, noodles overcooked, and the service lacking. It's really sad, but now we need to look for a new place.
