Pho Chu Hai Pho N Grill In Illinois

Not the best pho place. Their traditional pho broth lacks flavor. Literally lacks beef broth and seasoning.

I've lived within three miles of this place and only recently entered for a meal. It's located in a fairly large L-shaped strip mall, with Baskin Robbins on one end, an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant on the other, and a big Valli super market in between. From the outside it looks like a hole-in-the-wall, but inside is a surprisingly spacious and nicely decorated Vietnamese restaurant serving delightful Vietnamese food. Lesson to be learned: don't judge from what you see in the parking lot.At the suggestion of a fellow guest at a neighboring table, I ordered the pho with beef and flank. It made for an excellent lunch. I lingered at the end over a mango/strawberry smoothy, which I had to savor slowly to avoid brain freeze. The gracious lady who served me suggested that I try a noodle dish the next time, and I look forward to it.

Due to my food sensitivity, I can't have most of what's on the menu. But I did have the pate and lunch meat sandwich that was delicious.

I was referred here and was told that the food is great and the prices are good. I agree! The service was great and the food was phenomenal!! Everything was extremely fresh. The hot food was hot and the cold food was chilled perfectly. Prices were very reasonable, as well. I will definitely be going back!

Tasty spring rolls. I love their chamango smoothie.
