Pho Bon

I can't believe this place doesn't have a higher rating! Not fair! I LOVE thier broth! The flavors are so great, a little bit of smokey and spices, delish! We try to try new things every time we go but I haven't been able to try any of the snail dishes but it's on my to-do list. This is one of my favorite vietnamese places in the area and there are several great vietnamese places in just a 1mile radius!

fast service at the counter. ordered 2 sandwiches and chicken fried rice. not very busy. seems to be taking longer than expected to get our food to go. i asked for a side of hoisin sauce and she thought i didn’t want soy sauce - i want soy for friend rice and hoisin for sandwich. once i eat the food i’ll update my review.

I love their Pho soup. In fact, that is all I order when we go. Today, I looked at their new menus and the Vermicelli with grilled pork caught my eye. I ordered it and boy am I glad I did. It is delicious. The meat was very tasty and the mix of peanuts and fish sauce made it extra flavorful. I will definitely be ordering that again. I also love their eggrolls and dumplings. I love that everything is fresh and clean.

They have a unique variety of items on their menu that you won’t see at typical Vietnamese restaurants. I come by every week just to try something new. For an appetizer I suggest the fried dumplings or egg rolls. A classic favorite of mine is banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork sandwich ) or their com bo luc lac (white rice with filet mignon beef). I can’t wait for the snail to come back in season! It’s snail in a creamy coconut milk broth. The owner recommended it to me a few months ago and I was quite hesitant at first but I fell in love with it immediately. Unfortunately not always on the menu bc it’s based on season. However, if you have a large family to feed, no problem! They also offer hot pot too. Feeling parched? I suggest the honey lemon tea or Vietnamese coffee. As for customer service, they are a family business and you can tell they really care about their customers input.

Recently, I was visiting my mom and grandma on the NW side. I usually take them out to eat at the Chinese Buffet, but my mom said she wanted to try something else. So I found this place that serves snails. They have a bunch of different types in different sauces. My mom loved it and it had been 20+ years since she had snails.
