    Nem Nuong (crispy pork spring rolls) & pho
    Ariana G.

    I've been on a pho kick lately everyone since fall started. I was in the neighborhood and saw this place had stellar reviews so I said, why not check it out? I ordered the pork spring rolls and steak/brisket/meatball pho. The pork spring rolls were soo good and huge! I definitely had to take 2 home cause the order comes with 4 rolls. The crispy pork inside was well seasoned with a light sweetness. Highly recommend. The pho was fantastic! The broth was superrrr flavorful and really hit the spot. I got to see the owner engage with her customers. She greeted everyone and was so kind and grateful to everyone for dining at her restaurant. She had great energy and hospitality! So I understand why her food is cherished within the neighborhood.

    Spring roll with viet sausage? With the extra noodle and extra soup.

    I got to come here on a Friday night. It was 8:30pm. When you first walk in, you'll see the ordering machines. Then after you order, seat yourself anywhere that's open. My friend and I secured our seat first while we waited for people to finish ordering. Once there was an open machine, we order two pho and one spring roll. We also got an additional bowl of noodle and soup since one of our friends ate dinner earlier. We also ordered two Thai teas. To start, the Thai teas were the perfect ratio. It had the sweetness and you can still taste the tea. Afterwards, we waited for them to call our name so we can grab our food. They don't seem to go in the order that you ordered so keep that in mind. Two other tables who ordered after us got their food first. Once we got our food and took our pictures, we started to eat. Overall, the food was tasty and correctly portioned. I'm glad I took the risk to come to the pho place I googled! I will be coming back.

    I got a bun shrimp which was really good. The shrimp were well seasoned. The spring rolls were also pretty standard/good. I'd go back to try their pho and other menu items. They have a couple kiosks which is convenient. Also, it's a 10% discount if you pay with cash. Crew was really nice and there's a decent amount of seating.

    Always love coming here to get our pho fix, it just gets the job done. You order via the kiosk and you don't have to wait too long for your entree. The mango smoothie is the absolute best and highly recommend! Prices are reasonable and tables are all first come, first serve.

    We walked in and ordered at the kiosk and you seat yourself. The food came out quickly and they call your name. The banh mi was alright didn't have that much flavor and was a little cold. The Banh xeo or Vietnamese crepe was crispy and good. Not like other crepe I have, they grill their pork. It could have included more lettuce for us to wrap it in but overall this was good. We also got their avocado smoothie with boba which brings me back to my childhood. The ambiance inside is pretty nice and cute and only two tables by the window.

    There are a couple kiosks on the wall in the front to place your order. You can pay with card or if you pay in cash at the counter, it's 10% off total order. The food came out fairly quickly. The pho was good, broth was savory. I also ordered the pad thai dish which was alright - could use more flavor. The staff is friendly, restaurant was clean. Although we enjoyed our meal, I wouldn't recommend the drinks there. None of our drinks tasted right - it was either watered down, or not enough flavor. Paid street parking. We came late in the evening so we had no issue there.

    food: good flavors but not super authentic viet, good portions for the price though, banh mi was good Service: staff was fine Ambiance: not a great sit down place, better to get takeout or delivery

    Self service spot - quick and easy! Great tasting pho and great portion size! Spring rolls were fresh, and had plenty of filling. I will be back 100%

    Steak Pho and Pork Banh Mi Sandwich (w/ fries!)
    Jackie M.

    Checking off the list for MK noodle's steak Pho featured on some of the best pho places in Chicago. Haven't had pho in a while but thought it was fairly standard. The broth is very simple and the steak wasnt as rare I normally like. After a few bites, it lacks the beefy depthness I've come to enjoy from a good pho. I was surprised to see fries when I order the banh mi. The sandwich is nicely filled and the pickled daikon/carrots are very good. Think I'd opt for the sandwich for taste and value. MK Noodle is self checkout whether you dine in or order take out. Your name is called to pick up and you bus your own tray. I do like this concept. Do note, take out has a fee (forgot what it is, maybe around $2). They have water stations and old magazines where you seat yourself.

    They added a bulgogi banh mi. It's so good. I love the happy vibes here. The owner is very kind.

    I love the outside signage and logo! It's very catchy and sleek designed. The food, VERY fresh and tasty. Prepared nicely and portions are generous. The peanut sauce was a nice complement to the fresh basil and cold noodles in the spring roll wrap. So good. The Vietnamese Cold Coffee was also delicious. Yes, Authentic! I couldn't tell the difference if I was in Vietnam or not. So excellent with the quality. I thought it would be nice to return and try their Pho, as it looks like that is their Hot #1 Seller. I would like to see them maybe spruce the place up a bit and just streamline it . Clean it and get rid of the "clutter". The chairs don't match and theirs odd placement of different decorations that don't match together. So simple to just clean that up and make it "fresh look", to match the Amazing Food & the Outside Sign. Both of those were awesome. I like that you can order at the kiosk. Again, strange decorations all around the kiosk. This place could get 5 stars soon I think. Either way- good food, nice people. Easy to locate. Marshfield Ave & Lincoln Ave, Lakeview Neighborhood. Mid block. East side of Lincoln Ave. across from Chicago Music Exchange. You must go and check the out, thank me later. Park Chicago App to park outside or CTA available

    28. Pho Steak, Brisket and Meat Ball Soup
    Nicholas W.

    I may be biased because it is conveniently close to my apartment but it is insanely delicious, very fast, and makes great takeout. I love that they have really good pho, bahn mi, and bubble tea. They are also really kind and have brought my order out to me when I had my dog with me before. It's a really good neighborhood spot. And while the food is all a 8-9/10, the service makes this a 10/10

    Banh mi BBQ pork
    Johnfavour N.

    MK Noodle Pho is one of my favorite vietnamese restaurants in Chicago! The ambiance is very casual, kind of like a cafe vibe. You order from some self service kiosks up front and they'll call your name out. Their Banh Xeo with shrimp/pork is massive and delicious. It always comes with a lot of fresh greens and tasty fish sauce. I don't see banh xeo offered at many restaurants, and I think people may not be familiar with it. It's like a large crepe/pancake with turmeric for color and it's stuffed with bean sprouts, pork and shrimp. The batter is slightly sweet from the coconut milk. It comes with lettuce, mint, Thai basil, carrots, and cucumbers. Usually you rip a large piece of lettuce, load it with veggies, a portion of banh xeo and then dip it into the fish sauce. This is one of my favorite vietnamese dishes because it's so fresh and savory. It's listed as an appetizer but you can definitely eat it as an entree. FYI it can be a bit messy but so delicious. The shrimp spring rolls are delicious and massive too. It comes with a peanut dipping sauce. The pho is really good too, I enjoyed their ribeye pho with the house chili oil that's on each table. The broth is seasoned well, and made by cooking beef bones for 7 hours (per WGN news article/video). The ribeye is a bit more premium cost but I think it's worth it, it's very tender with the perfect proportion of meat to fat in each bite. And their house chili oil goes great with all of these dishes, it has a lot of flavor but it's not too spicy. The banh mi BBQ pork is everything I want in a banh mi, perfectly cooked BBQ pork and pork belly, crispy baguette, tasty mayo/pate, plenty of pickled carrots and daikon, and it even comes with fries! If you don't like cilantro you can ask for no cilantro. The owner is really nice and can help accommodate any food restrictions when possible. I've been here about 7 times and the food is consistently good!

    just had my first Gotham bagel and OMG! egg everything was fresh with a slightly chewy slightly…read morecrusty outer and solf tender inside. Full of flavor and absolutely delicious. When are you opening in the south suburbs??? PLEASE!!!!

    I went to Gotham New York Bagels and Eat in Chicago and honestly, I loved it. The bagels were super…read morefresh, packed with a ton of filling, and had the perfect texture. I ordered the salmon bagel with onion and capers and it was incredible, really delicious. We also tried the cinnamon bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese and it was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. They also had some sliced and toasted bagels that were really good too. Every bagel came with a pickle on the side, which was a nice touch. The place itself was amazing. There were plenty of tables to sit, a cozy bar area where you can eat or have a coffee, and the overall vibe was super friendly and comfortable. It's not a huge space, but it feels really inviting and there's enough room to stay for a while, you could even bring your laptop and get some work done. In the summer, they also have outdoor seating, which makes it even nicer. The service was great, the staff was friendly, and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey. We ordered two filled bagels and one plain bagel with just a small side of cream cheese, and it was almost fifty dollars. If all three had been filled bagels, I would totally understand the price, but since one was plain, it did feel a bit expensive. We also got the strawberry cream cheese, which was good but not my favorite. I definitely preferred the cinnamon sugar one. Overall, I would absolutely go back because the bagels were fantastic, the space was cozy and welcoming, and it's a perfect spot to relax or grab breakfast, just a little on the expensive side.
