My experience here was terrible!! Only came because PHO THIEN is closed on Mondays. Here we go.... 1. The waiter was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive. Everything we asked for he acted bothered to bring. 2. He gave us very little of the "extras" that come with Pho, so I asked for extra bean sprouts and he gave me a very small portion. 3. I asked for hot sauce and he gave me a greasy oil with hot pepper flakes (they make homemade hot sauce and he acted like the oil was all they have). 4. I ordered pho with eye of round and I was given brisket 5. He never came back to the table after serving our food. Literally never came back! He took other people's orders and ignored us all together. We had to flag down another waiter after we were finished and waiting for some time. The other waiter brought us take out containers and our check. (Side note-have you ever tried pouring a huge bowl of soup into a tall container?? It wasn't pretty) 6. We ordered a side of noodles to go and they gave us a half empty small box -$2 (See pics) We will NEVER be back! GO TO PHO THIEN IN NAPERVILLE!! GREAT SERVICE AND BETTER FOOD!! read more

They absolutely never answer their phone! So you can NEVER order takeout. The wait is absurdly long for pho thats already made and the staff doesnt seem to care about cleanliness or the time it takes to get you a check. I waited 20min before plates were cleared and check was given. Go to a different vietnamese spot. This place sucks read more

(BOLINGBROOK LOCATION) I went in there to order smoothies on a tuesday afternoon around 8pm. (note it wasn't super busy and i would be very patient if he took a while to make it) I ordered 4 smoothies, gave him my debit card and then he starts acting like the register isn't working anymore. I literally just saw him a minute before ring up a customer. He literally said oh the wifi isn't working so I can't put the order through for your smoothies. I drove and waited for him to tell me to leave because his wifi isn't working. Long story short, they promote smoothies on the outside of their window but if they think it's too much or just don't "feel" like it, they will tell you the wifi isn't working and to leave... so definitely would not recommend!! There's a good boba place called Tai San Chef about 5-10 minutes away!! :) I've been going to this place for about five years and they have amazing food but the service has really gone down... read more

I love this place. The pho here is the best in the area. The boba here is also pretty great. I've been here a lot and so far everything I've eaten has been super tasty. The only thing I can think of that I wouldn't order again is the seafood pho. I like seafood but the beef pho is just better. They also have great calamari, hot wings, curry, and Korean rice bowls, and spring rolls. If you're looking for a new go to spot this is the place to be. One of my all time favorite restaurants hands down. The service is always great. I just wish they could open to dine in again. I miss the atmosphere. I respect their decision to keep it for take out only though. It's a tough call. Hopefully it weathers the storm of the Covid pandemic. read more

Just ate here the other night and I was not disappointed. My boyfriend and I were on the search for a place with Pho and he loved his spicy beef one. I got a Korean stone bowl (BIBIMBOP) and it was cooked perfectly. The egg, rice, meat, kimchi was incredible. Delivered so hot and fresh. I will absolutely be eating here again and read more

So so good, walked in for take out order. First time there and was out with in 10 minutes! Definitely will be going back soon.

We recently moved to Bolingbrook from Crest Hill and were looking for a replacement for our regular Vietnamese/Thai takeout in Shorewood. We had passed by this place a few times, but were skeptical because of how run down the small strip mall is and overall appearance of the outside of the building. We couldn't really find any other alternatives, so we decided to give this place a shot. So glad we did. We ordered Pad Thai, Pho, Japanese Gyoza and Crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious. I've had better crab rangoon, but not very often. Plus, this isn't a NY-style Chinese takeout, so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was from a pho place. Gyoza was good, too. The pho was delicious, as well as the pad thai. I think the pad thai was actually better than the stuff we used to get from our other Thai go-to. Most of these reviews are complaining about the service, which I can't speak to. We ordered takeout and picked it up. It did seem like they had a large dining area but not many staff. If the other reviews are accurate, I would say stick to getting takeout because the food is fantastic. read more

Finally went to give this restaurant a try and it was so disappointing. We went to get a takeout on a Monday night. As we checked out the menu and were ready I ordered Rice Noodle Soup with chicken and a Singapore Rice Noodles but wanted to change our Noodles for lo mein. Well the men in the register said he couldn't do that because it wouldn't taste good and it would be too dry and that he just couldn't. We even offered to pay extra if needed but he's answer was still no. So we ultimately didn't get what we wanted, what a disappointment. But we still ordered it and went home. The chow mein noodles on the Singapore noodle plate were just dry and with no flavor, that dish went straight to the trash. TOTALLY not what we wanted but I guess they didn't care. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Take your business elsewhere; where their willing to give you (the customer) what you want. read more

Love this place! I always get the spicy chicken fried rice. I used to get their sweet n sour chicken, but theyre always hard and small unlike at other places. I also noticed that the rice is a lot better on Saturdays (and sometimes Friday). Other days its much less flavorful. Im assuming theres a good cook on the weekend and not so much during the week. Regardless, my fav place to go to for asian food in Bolingbrook. read more

This place has absolutely terrible service. I was picking up an order that they said would be done in 20 minutes. I got there in 20 minutes, but it took 8 minutes for anyone to come to the desk. I paid for my order, and the cashier told me to sit down. 45 minutes after making my order, it still wasn't ready! I am never going to this place again. read more

Just left without being served. 2 other parties came before us and we were never asked what we wanted. The owner decided for us that we were not ready because we were still looking at the menu when we were ready 20 minutes ago to order. When we told him why we were leaving he just laughed and told us to have a good day. As a business owner how do you let a family of 5 walk out of the door. read more

Usually we enjoy this place; however after a horrific first time using online/delivery, botched order, and terrible customer service we will never return. You would think ordering online is convenient, but it turned out the worst experience for us to date. First, our order came late. Second, our order was missing 3 items. I was going to let slide since one was a missing the upgraded fried rice in one of my orders and one was only a incorrect side (basil, bean sprout, and jalapeno) to my Pho noodles soup order. BUT- what the most offensive was my Banh Mi order. They just sent me an empty Bread Roll. Outrageous!!! What made this all worse was when I called to complain, NOODLES PHO U denied it. And said they had nothing was missing in my order. While their food may be good, don't bother to order online. If anything is wrong, YOU are wrong, not them. read more

Noodles pho me? How very thoughtful. Noodles are my favorite food group and I like to eat them wherever and whenever I can. After the movies? Perfect. I had the Won Ton soup plus beef lo mein and both were perfect. I could have eaten the exact same meal the next night. Just the right amount of spice, delicious broth and sauce plus chewy and delicious noodles. Noodles Pho U, 5 stars pho u. read more

This location provided the worst service. I visited IL from GA and decided to come to this location which I regret. The service was horrible and when getting an item and not knowing it had pork in it (yes people make mistakes) I asked if I could get the item taken back and get the veggie spring rolls instead and the waiter got an attitude saying I couldn't do that then walked away. I then let the other waiter know because mine never returned that I have no problem paying for this meal but I will not be paying for this particular entree. At this point I didn't even want to eat at this place because I felt disrespected and racially profiled by the workers at this location. I won't ever go to this place again or refer it to others. Only have one star because the app won't let you give zero stars. read more

I made my maiden voyage into Vietnamese food here. Perhaps it is just not my thing, or I need to try different menu items. I cannot say it was a horrible experience, just not all that special. I ordered from their website, which offers brief but accurate descriptions of their food. The ordering process was easy, and the food arrived fresh, hot, and on time. No complaints from me in that department. The food was hit or miss. I had ordered both shrimp and chicken summer rolls. Granted, I have never eaten them before, so I have nothing to really compare them with. I really could not tell the difference between the two rolls. They just had a very rubbery texture and little to no actual flavor. I did really enjoy the peanut sauce for dipping; that sauce was absolutely fantastic! I also had the Japanese dumplings, which 12 of them for $6.95 is a great deal. I can only describe them as a cross between Gyoza and pot stickers; good, but nothing spectacular. The most delightful part of my meal was the spicy beef noodle soup. Everything was packaged separately, and you could assemble it to your liking. The broth had the perfect amount of spice, and the beef tendon really made the dish! This is definitely going to be my new kick-the-winter-blah go-to soup. Although it was soup, it is really large enough to be a meal in itself. Since the menu here touts itself as Pan-Asian, the menu is very extensive. Since ordering is so simple, and there are plenty of things to try, I will definitely be a returning customer here. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Came here with a couple people and was highly disappointed. We all ordered smoothies and I kid you not, it took almost 30 minutes. It took 20 something minutes to even be greeted or given water while we wait. I don't like to be a negative Nancy, but in the past have worked the service industry and I know how things should go; it's really not THAT hard. There were only 3 other tables with people besides us so being busy can't even be used as an excuse for the lack in service. The drinks came out separately while one of them sat on the counter until I went up and said something. Food eventually came out and it tasted good, but my overall experience was so terrible I couldn't really enjoy it. We finished our food and paid the tab and left. I am all for small business but I will never come back here. read more

Terrible service. I come here all the time. And it's getting worse every time we come here. Wrong food comes out and ask me if it's ok. Heck no! I did not order that!! Then my main dish comes out like 45 min later. Everyone was done eating by then. Not friendly at all. No greeting no thank you for coming. I don't know why I went there again. I find myself leaving mad for coming in. I need to find better place. read more

Terrible service. We went last night with my family, only one waiter doing all the service. He cannot keep up with customer needs. Did not check how our food was, or at least refill our drinks. He was fast at paying time, probably to get rid of us. And what's with the high volume instrumental music in this place. Pho was subpar, I would not go back there for it. Noodles are cheap quality. Broth was ok. Meats are overcooked yet taste gummy. Ordered also some pork chops and pad see ew, they were plain, nothing special at all. After our meal, we regret coming to this place. ( it was just close to our home). I won't recommend this place to my friends. Would have driven to downtown Naperville and get quality Vietnamese pho from Green Basil. read more

I went here with my mom and brother a little while ago for lunch and we were the only customers there. I think that's what made the experience all the more pleasant. The elder woman serving us was very friendly and made conversation with us frequently. We ordered fried calamari as an appetizer. It was crispy and a little spicy, which was great. The dipping sauce was really good with it too. We also ordered the Vietnamese Crispy Crepe (Bahn Xeo) which was delicious and flavorful probably my favorite of what we ordered. Then I ordered Pho Tai Gan which has eye round steak and tendon. I loved it. The broth was pretty good and they didn't skimp out on the tendons which is awesome. It was a good size, too. I was able to finish it off without feeling too disgusting. Prices are also really good for what it is. Compare it to Joy Yee where it's probably $2 or $3 more for less than mediocre pho and bahn mi. If you want authentic Vietnamese food this is the place to go. After we finished, our waitress (and presumably the owner?) expressed her gratitude for dining with them and to spread the word because they were in need of more customers. Now, normally that would be kind of uncomfortable, but I had a great experience and she was so endearing about it that I didn't feel that way at all. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food is really good. Portions are very generous and they don't skimp out on the size of the shrimp and amount of beef. read more

Noodles Pho U - Singapore curry noodle with shrimp and chicken, shrimp tempura appetizer, shrimp pad Thai, pho with sliced beef and brisket. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Great authentic Vietnamese food! It s located very close to the Bolingbrook Promenade (3-minute-drive from there to the restaurant). So it s nice to eat something real good after a nice day of shopping. I am so happy, that I found this place! I miss my mum s food a lot! So this is a real good place to go, whenever I miss home! :-) I highly recommend the yellow Vietnamese filled Pancakes "Banh Xeo", it s one of my favorite dishes. And the soups are really good! Last time I had hot rice noodle soup with beef "Bun Bo Hue". Oh yeah and the mango salad "Goi Xoai". After a mouthwatering-good meal you feel nicely full and satisfied. :-D read more

If you have not had a chance to enjoy what this establishment has to offer I suggest you make it your next stop. A refreshing change in stature from what is commonly referred to as "Chinese" food here in the US, the Vietnamese spin on several familiar dishes is shadowed only by the multitude of entirely original dishes they offer. I particularly like the stone bowl baked teriyaki options and suggest substituting with brown rice! Other favorites include the Korean stone bowl rice dish if you can handle kimchee, Thai crazy noodle, and the Singapore rice noodle. The Japanese gyoza, and shrimp tempura are always great starters, both lighter and crisper than anything similar from other restaurants that always seem to be over fried and greasy. I have had a small amount of trouble dealing with them on deliveries, so I couldn't award 5 stars... but the dine in experience, coupled with the quality and care put into their food and service are exceptional. read more

Great stuff! Fresh, fast, reasonable prices. Great spot for lunch. I've been a repeat here many times and highly recommend.

An update to my previous review. Nothing much to add, except food = good, but service = Super Slow. I mean really slow. Walked in at 11:35 for lunch, it was noon before any food showed up to the table. If you have the time, it's fine, but it is not a quick stop by any means. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety this place has to offer. My bf and I decided to try them as the first place for Chinese in the area. I'm extremely picky about my Chinese food and rarely go anywhere except Yu's Mandarin in Schaumburg. I prefer Mandarin Chinese food and I'm pretty leary about trying anything else. That being said, I was very happy with the food we received. I got a small combination fried rice and a chicken & Chinese broccoli. The portions are good imo considering each could easily be two portions and they were only $6 each. I know fried rice is pretty hard to screw up but I've been to places that did. Their's had a good bit of meat in it and good flavor. The chicken and Chinese broccoli was very nice and contained tons of broccoli. The sauce was a bit thin but had enough flavor that I didn't care. The side of rice was nice and sticky as well. My bf got a large pineapple, shrimp and chicken fried rice and was very happy with it! I tried a bite of it and thought it was good but didn't have more than that since I had so much food myself. His portion was really big for $8. He's less critical of food so that's all there is to say about his dish. Lol We also got an order of pork egg rolls which I found to be great. Other reviews said they were just ok but I think they were about as good as one can get. I was happy to see they don't use spring roll paper for theirs. One thing I was a bit bothered by was that they didn't provide any soy sauce or sweet & sour sauce with the food!! I find that to be really odd. I don't think you should have to ask for that when ordering take-out. So make sure you ask for it if you're ordering to-go/delivery. My bf got a strawberry bubble tea and I got a Thai iced tea. His was good but there was very little ice in it (it was basically all melted within a few minutes) so it wasn't very cold. Mine was ok and had plenty of ice. I think I'll try a bubble tea next time as I don't see myself craving another Thai tea anytime soon. All-in-all, I'll definitely go back. We ordered take out and it took 15 mins to get the food and it was piping hot when we got home. I love knowing we have this place right around the corner and that they deliver too. The decor inside was nice and clean so I'll happily dine in at some point too. read more

We were in Lockport to see wolves at the Big Wolf Ranch. One our way back home, we were desperately looking for an Asian place to grab a carry-out, and lo behold, we see Noodles Pho U. Living in Lombard, I am a regular customer of Noodles Pho U located on Main St. This place in Bollingbrook didn't disappoint me at all. The quality was the same as well as the quantity! It's amazing how they do that. My favorite is the paper rice vegetable rolls and number 1002, whatever that is. I always order that! This place was nice and clean, and quite spacious as compared to the one in Lombard. Overall nice experience. read more

Pad see ew it looks far more tasteful then it is. I asked for it to be spicy and that's about all it was, this is by far the worst tasting flavorless dish I've ever had. The bf had the coconut chicken lunch special it was delicious I definitely should have went with that option however I thought I would go with a dish I was more so familiar with...bad decision. Before leaving i made it a point to inform an employee that I was dissatisfied with the food and asked what type of sauce was on it. He went to the cook to ask, came back and told me soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and fish sauce. Being knowledgeable of these sauces I don't understand the blandness. I am not a fan! First and last time here. read more

Used to order from this place when they were still Bok Choy, and needless to say the quality hasn't changed at all. Noodles Pho U is fast and offers superior quality cuisine. This is my go-to place for Chinese food as well. I've never eaten in-store, so I can't speak for them in that sense, but their take-out process is incredibly efficient and they never fail to provide the highest quality Asian cuisine. If you are a fan of Chinese or Vietnamese cuisine and want a no-bullshit, high quality answer, Noodles Pho U is the answer. read more

Loved it. We had Vietnamese spring rolls and the Korean Stone Rice Bowl, amazing. Will definitely go back!!! read more

Friggin A for Awesome! Had the beef and shank noodle pho. It was delish...kinda wished there was more shank though (only had a couple pieces in the bowl compared to the beef). We also had the chicken vermicelli. I would recommend asking for extra sauce with the chicken, but the chicken was tender and great with the fresh vermicelli and veggies--loved the freshness of it. Overall, great dining experience, great service, and great food. read more

Ever since the owner opened after covid he has been so rude. I've never seen anyone act so rude towards customers like this. I understand that everyone might be extra cautious and anxious but his behavior is beyond rude. All I can say is that if you are that terrified over the virus the just shut down. This pandemic doesn't give you the right to be rude to people. I entered, I had my mask and he was rude from start to end. He even got upset because where the garbage was at. read more

I ordered delivery through GrubHub to my office for lunch. This was my first time trying out the place, so I just ordered summer rolls and pad thai. The wait time for delivery was over an hour, although the restaurant is located about 5 minutes away. The pork and shrimp summer rolls were alright, the veggies were fresh and crisp. The peanut sauce was good. Pad thai was kind of bland--no flavor, no hoisin sauce, not memorable at all. I may order from them again to check out other items on the menu, but I wasn't crazy about this first experience. From reading all of the other reviews, I'll know never to go in for dine-in. read more

I stopped in here the other day just to grab some bubble tea. It was unfortunate that the worker seemed to not really know how to properly make a simple milk tea drink. The one milk tea drink took a total of 15 minutes for him to make - even though we were the only ones in line. Originally the worker gave me a straw that was too small to even eat the bubba in my drink and he seemed very confused why I had asked for a larger straw. The drink itself was mediocre at best. I would suggest having more professionally trained workers before entrusting them with the front end of your business. read more
