I've been to (and probably reviewed) LC Pho before - it's a good Vietnamese spot with a bunch of stuff that tastes good. Most recently, I got a bowl of noodles with an egg roll and pork chop. We also got the pork chop and came with a tamarindy vinegar dipping sauce that was really good. read more

We've had a chance to visit a couple of times now and very happy to come back and try so many different things. Spring rolls and Phở, of course, but also trying some of the other items on the menu. (I'm not Vietnamese, so I won't try to talk about authentic vs inauthentic). The restaurant brags about its phở broth and it's very good, very meaty and balanced. There are also large platter options (lettuce wraps, for example) and hot pot options. I didn't try the hot pot, but the group one table over had it. Speaking of the other group, so many varied entrees came out of the kitchen - it was cool to see more than just phở. The waitstaff is quick... almost to the point of impatient! But never problematic. Be aware that dishes fly out of the kitchen as they are ready. One bowl might come out way before the others. An appetizer might come out last. It just whatever is ready (it appears). Also, their takeout game is strong, judging by the amount of trays ready to go and people coming in to carry-out. It's a little far for me to do takeout, but still nice to see. read more

Solid culinary citizen. Kitchen does your Vietnamese food favorites right. Way, way above average. Friendly and enthusiastic service; dishes come out as they are prepared. Has the slightly dingy Asian restaurant vibe going on, especially when you head back to use the washroom. So...great without being perfect. Will return. read more

Look no further for your go-to Vietnamese spot! I've tried the Pho and the Vermicelli and both were tasty, all the ingredients taste so fresh. The service is always quick. I can't speak to the eat-in ambiance, but for pick-up the staff is always nice. read more

LC Pho - Beef Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My friend and I went to Noodle Party and the place was packed and the menu looked like a spread sheet. We left and stumbled on this place. The vegetarian dishes we got, vegetarian pho and tofu with noodles were Amazing The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back! read more

The best pho is not in little asia (arygle) it's actually in Ravenswood secluded like 20 min from argyle but totally worth. Best chicken pho ever! Super authentic dining options here. Can't wait to come back to check out the other items on the menu. We got to go and when we came home, it was still hot which was great, we live like 20 min away in Logan. We loved it, the baby loved it, it's a win our book for sure. Meter street parking btw. read more

The restaurant is a good size and has fun decoration! The food was outstanding too and so was the service! We went on a rainy day so eating pho was a perfect time. We got the dumplings, two different pho, and the calamari. The only thing I would warn about is the calamari is a big portion but honestly, it was so good that even though I was done with my pho, I still ate most of the calamari. It was too spicy for my partner so she couldn't eat it but I loved it. I didn't have any calamari left to take home! Always a tip to save your broth and take it home if you don't finish it. Then just eat the broth with extra rice! read more

Big fan of LC Pho and their fresh and flavorful food! Quick service with food that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal when you don't want to cook. Especially in the winter, their pho hits the spot. There's a good range of authentic interesting dishes, to more accessible for everyone options. I recommend trying a few things especially if you have someone with you to share! Great spring rolls, too, with really tasty peanut sauce. read more

I love the Pho here!!! A trek from the city but worth a try! The quality of food here seems so much better compared to a lot of spots I've been to in the city. The Pho broth here is perfectly balanced - beefy, fantastic spice aroma paired with LOTS of meat! Their spring rolls were the best I've had. I find that the spring rolls in the city tend to skimp on ingredients. Some skimp of good veggies, some skimp on the protein but here you get both pork and shrimp perfectly wrapped with fresh lettuce, bean sprouts and cucumber. Also they were huge! Service was also fast and our waiter was very welcoming. It's a pretty casual spot and wasn't busy on the weekend. The menu is expansive and they feature so many great Vietnamese dishes. They also offer catering platters which look amazing! Plenty of paid street parking in the front. Looking forward to coming back!!! read more

Great food, nice customer services and clean space. I have a great experience eating there and happy to come back

This may be one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Chicago. Not in the Viettown neighborhood of Uptown, but on the westside neighborhood of Albany Park , LC Pho has great family style options great for group dinners. Highly recommend a full fish! Also the papaya salad is very good as is the soup. We went early for dinner so no wait and service is great ( a friend preordered). BYOB so bring your appetites and thirsts #vietnamese #family style #chicago read more

My husband and I eat here all the time and everything HITS! The warm, community feel is definitely a winner. Vietnamese families and kids are always present. The same waiter Huey is holding it down. They have a huge menu of Vietnamese food that goes far beyond pho, but the pho itself is top tier. Rich, flavorful broth that has real body to it...and delicious meats. Can't recommend this spot enough as a regular. read more

Drove past and thought, "huh let's give it a try." Looked at the menu on my phone and saw what I wanted. I called in and ordered a Bahn Mi Chay, which is their vegetarian one. Loaded with vegetables, noodles and tofu. By the way, the staff was super friendly and patient given the language barrier. The restaurant had nice natural lighting, and was very clean upon my arrival for pick up. The pick up area itself is fairly small and plants get in the way. But no big deal..right? This was my third time having a Bahn Mi and the first time from this location. I can tell you it was by far the best Bahn mi I've had. The taste was amazing. The bread nice and crusty. Vegetables fresh (jalapeños were a very nice touch). The tofu had a very nice sauce that was very flavor and a great contrast to the jalapeños. I will definitely be a regular visitor for this sandwich. read more

This place is so great for Viet food and large portions! Servers are super nice and friendly--reminds me of childhood with random aunties and uncles who talk to you while you're eating. Spacious place. Authentic food. Can't go wrong with pho or bun bo hue. Debated getting com suon but I was craving bun thit nuong, and they definitely delivered! YUM! read more

We came in later in the evening (~8pm) on a weekday, and it wasn't too busy. The atmosphere felt clean and calm. We were seated quickly, but the service wasn't the best. It was our first time eating at this restaurant, so we didn't come in with any familiarity of the menu. Not even 2 minutes after receiving our menus, we were rushed by the waiter to put in our orders. I hadn't decided yet, so I asked for more time, and the waiter told me to "hurry up". I just blurted something out and didn't get to order other dishes like appetizers as a result because I didn't have much time to look over the menu. Wasn't a great start to my experience.... However, things turned around when the food came out, which is why I give this place 4 stars despite the service. The food was pretty good! The pho broth tastes like it is made from scratch. It has that full hearty flavor, and you can taste all the good spices they incorporated in the broth. It also comes in a large bowl, and it is sure to fill you up. The pork chop rice platter is also good. I'm not a fan of shredded pork, but I ate all the shredded pork on my plate. It paired so well with the fish sauce, and it wasn't dry at all. The pork was cooked well, and it was flavorful. The egg could be improved, it tasted more bland than the other elements of the dish. Finally, the tomatoes/cucumbers were a nice touch for veggies. I would come here again. read more

LC got that thang on them! Our family Loves coming here. Everything about this place is what we expect to have on a casual dinner. We are greeted right when we get in and seated almost immediately because this is kind of a very local spot located on Lawrence Avenue(street parking only). There is only usually one guy working there and I swear, he is one of the hardest working waiters that I have ever seen. He is taking phone orders, busing food to the tables, taking orders, giving customer to go orders and cashing them out, filling water. He does it all! We usually enjoy getting the papaya salad with shrimp, the banh xeo and of course, the pho. What doesn't get mentioned is the bun bonhue which is a spicy beef noodle soup that is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't even begin to tell you the flavors in that thing. You're going to have to trust me. The food quality is very high and the food always comes out cooked to my liking every single time. This is the ultimate comfort food without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of going all the way to argyle. The pricing is ultra cheap and that is a god send in today's economy. I'm telling you, trust me, come here, get what's on the menu, you wont be disappointed. read more

The food was so good. We went on New Year's day and it was very busy, it didn't seem like they had enough staff for all the customers. We waited a while for our food, my pho came out after my husband had almost finished his meal. But it was a holiday and I'll definitely give them a pass for that, we'll be back for sure. read more

Delish. We split the pork banh mi and each had our own bowls of pho. Complex broth that kept us going in for more. Prices are so reasonable for the quality they put into their dishes. Will definitely be back. What a treat. read more

LC Pho - 15A. Pho Tai (pho sliced beef) - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My partner and I really enjoyed the food. The portions of the food are great for the price. Everything is clean & delicious. However, the service really needs work. You don't feel welcomed unless it's their own kind of people. They were not attentive of our table at all. It took 30mins for us to even place an order, others whom would come in and spoke their language, would be greeted in a very kind welcoming manner, and attended right away. Not only were we yelled at a couple times but also ignored when we would ask for things. We were not the only ones spoken to nor treated that way. They would often sit with their kind and just talk as if no one else mattered. I wouldn't recommend coming to eat here. Id rather order a head of time, and pick up than to be treated less than. read more

LC Pho - 70. Banh Mi Heo Nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I needed something warm and soothing for dinner last night so I decided to check this place out for a nice bowl of Pho! I'm so glad that I did venture here because it's a hidden gem. Parking is plentiful unlike on Argle or in Edgewater. I went in and was greeted by a pleasant man who seated me right away and as soon as I told him what I wanted he came back with a piping hot big bowl of Pho! It came with the fixings such as mint, bean sprouts and a lime wedge. My one complaint is that the fixings didn't look very fresh as the lime was dried up and some of my basil leaves looked suspect. I also had a dirty water glass but nevertheless, the place was clean and the food was awesome!!! Flavorful, hot, plentiful (order the small bowl) and perfect on a cold night to warm you up. Prices are decent on this one but the apps and drinks are pretty pricey so watch for that. I would go back again for a lovely bowl of pho goodness! read more

This place is legit. Extensive menu full of deliciousness. This place set the bar for me for bun rieu. Just fantastic.

A must-try spot if you're looking for Vietnamese food. Tasty, flavorful and the menu here has a variety of options for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I highly recommend goi xoai muc (mango and squid salad), i have tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the city, but not any of them has this salad, it's unique and super appetizing. My friend who tried Vietnamese food for the first time is in love with the quail here, it's tender yet juicy; also, the egg rolls here are hugee. Worth trying! read more

The beef banh mi is phenomenal. The staff are always so friendly. Great welcoming family vibe in there too.

I arrived to what seemed like a chaotic environment and after waiting for 15 minutes and I was seated after someone noticed. However once seated, I ordered the Beef Pho with eye of round steak and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the beef Bahn Mi to go and it was equally delicious. However, I think there needs to be some thought into the organization because I waited around 20 minutes to get my check and tab out. However, this can be understandable if they were understaffed and having to serve large tables with over 15 patrons. read more

LC Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In my opinion one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in the area. They cater to Vietnamese people, meaning the food is more authentic than some other restaurants. LC is also a great place to order catering for parties if you need catered Vietnamese food. We had a large group with us and called ahead and ordered a few dishes like the fried fish and beef for spring rolls so it would be ready before we got there. This is a good idea if you have a big group and want a lot of food. The servers here were so nice and got us whatever we needed. I loved all of the food as seen in the photos! read more
