    I've been going to this place since the early 2000s. I've been through so many relationships and career changes, but this place has remained a constant in my life. My daughter and I come at least once a month, either for take out or dine in and the quality remains excellent. We always get the house special pho. My favorite remains the banh xeo (which I don't often see offered at other Vietnamese restaurants) and my daughter is partial to their spring rolls. Honorable mentions go to their Cornish hen which is always cooked to perfection. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Pho Ha is a very casual, cozy family owned Vietnamese restaurant. They have a parking lot out front with plenty of spaces. They have a wide variety of options and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the combination pho and the bahn xeo which were really good. The service is fast.

    Brisket Pho

    Pho Ha Restaurant - A Phenomenal, Flavor-Packed Find Pho Ha absolutely hit the spot. It's the kind of Vietnamese restaurant that feels authentic the moment you sit down--casual, bustling, and focused on what matters most: deeply satisfying food with clean, layered flavors. What I Ordered - Egg rolls - Brisket pho - Iced Vietnamese coffee Food Highlights - Egg rolls: Golden and blistered with a shatter-crisp wrapper. The filling was savory and well-seasoned, and the nuoc cham dipping sauce had that perfect sweet-salty-tangy balance with a little garlic kick. Addictive. - Brisket pho: The broth was the star--clear yet full-bodied, aromatic with star anise and charred onion notes. The brisket slices were tender with just enough marbling to enrich the soup without feeling heavy. Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro), bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños were crisp and vibrant, letting you dial in your own brightness and heat. Every sip was comforting and deeply flavorful. - Iced Vietnamese coffee: Bold and smooth, the strong coffee stood up beautifully to the sweetened condensed milk. Over ice, it was balanced--dessert-like without being cloying. The perfect finish. Service and Atmosphere - Service was quick, friendly, and attentive without hovering. - The vibe is warm and lively--great for a casual meal, solo slurp, or an easy meet-up with friends. - Dishes arrived hot, fresh, and well-timed. Why It Works - Authentic flavors executed with care. - Thoughtful textures--crisp where you want crisp, silky where you want silky. - A broth that's clearly simmered with intention; it tastes like time and technique. Pro Tips - Taste the broth first before adding hoisin, chili paste, or lime--then adjust to your preference. - Ask for extra herbs if you love a brighter, more aromatic bowl. - Pair the egg rolls with fresh herbs and a splash of nuoc cham for the best bite. Verdict Phenomenal. If you're craving real-deal Vietnamese comfort, Pho Ha delivers--big time. The egg rolls, brisket pho, and iced coffee made for a knockout trio. I'll be back soon.

    This place is a nice cheap homey pho place. I got takeout this time and the wings, spring rolls, and shrimp rolls were delicious. Spring rolls and the peanut sauce were fresh. Shrimp rolls came out crispy and are pretty similar to the shrimp rolls in dim sum restaurants. My personal favorite is the crispy chicken wings. They are savory, just crispy enough, and the sauce adds a good bit of sweetness. I highly recommend these. The service is a bit slow though.

    Pho Ha was a genuine surprise to me. The outside is unassuming, and the inside has a home style feel. Sitting down, it felt welcoming. Service was fast and to the point, and the servers were quick to bring everything out. The Bun Bo was pretty good, not record setting but solid. The Bo Kho, on the other hand, was not what I knew Bo Kho to be or what I've had for the majority of my life. Very soupy, and overall was missing something. What makes up for this is the portion size (bowl is massive) and the meat. If Pho Ha does one thing well it's their cuts of meat. Normal Viet restaurants cut the meat as thin as possible. Pho Ha cuts that meat thick so you can taste it. For that, a 4/5 is where they land in my books.

    I'm meeting a friend here because he's never had Vietnamese food. I've gone here before and thought it was good. It's a small mom and pop restaurant with a laid-back vibe and nothing to brag about, yet it has everything I need to enjoy my meal. We tried the cha gio tom (001), which is a four-piece shrimp egg roll served with a side of fish sauce. The outside is crispy, but I'm not a fan of the stuffing, which was scarce. My main course I had pho dac biet (202) which was basically a house special. The broth was light and clear, but it had a strong beef flavor; Rice noodles that are firm and chewy. The brisket, tendon, and meatball are all extremely tender. I also ordered banh mi thit nuong (102) to go with my pho. The baguette was well toasted and flaky. The pork is flavorful and has a wonderful char grilled scent. The ingredients are fresh, and it complements the sandwich perfectly. It's an enjoyable comfort food that hits the spot, and I'm pleased to hear my friend liked it; I know he appreciates Vietnamese cuisine after this visit.

    I got pho ga and it just was really average. average to sub par, honestly. I also thought adding an egg to it was a little strange. The chicken was brown and white meat. the restaurant is small, but accommodated everyone when i was there. i'm not too familiar with the area, but there were two men screaming at each other and threatening to get into a physical altercation outside. service was also non existent. nobody came around to check on me once. i did not particularly like this meal and feel like there are better options if you drive a little closer to chicago.

    Banh mi thit nuong - grilled pork sandwich
    Cassie T.

    Recently moved from California where pho restaurants were found in abundanceee, I'm talking about multiple Vietnamese restaurants in every plaza/mile radius. Since moving here, it's been hard to find some solid Vietnamese food but Pho Ha was worth the 10 mile drive. Bun Bo hue - 4.5/5 stars Oh man, one sip of the broth and it brought back memories. The broth was delicious and well developed, plenty of meat, and had a mild spice to it. You can ask for sate if you want it spicier, but make sure to add a little at a time because it's easy to go overboard and make it SPICYYY (speaking from experience haha) Banh mi thit nuong - 4/5 Grilled pork sandwich - can't really go wrong. It had a good ratio of meat to veggies, but the sandwich was a little on the skinnier side haha. But this is coming from someone who just eat a lot lol Customer service was great - attentive and kept refilling water. We ordered a ca phe sua da (iced coffee) and it never came until we mentioned it at the register while paying but that's okay. I would have given this place a 5 stars but I feel like we were mischarged somehow..? Two bowls of BBH 12x2 = $24, two banh mi thit nuong 7.25x2 = $14.50, one coffee $3.50 all together = $42 with tax maybe $46 ish, but our total was about $52... They also give a 4% off as incentive if you pay with cash so I'm not sure how our total came out to $52 but oh well. In the end, delicious food and I would come here every week if it wasn't so far. 10/10 recommend

    Spring rolls
    Francis R.

    Per suggestion from a friend, we came to Pho Ha looking for some Vietnamese food. Let's just say we did not leave disappointed! Started with an order of spring rolls which were fresh and served a tasty peanut sauce. The combination pho with all the fixings were great. Broth was solid and had a good depth of flavor. Noodles were cooked through and didn't clump together. The vermicelli with grilled pork(or possibly chicken can't recall which one) and a fried egg roll was also really good. Lastly, we had ordered a ban mi for the kiddo which he thoroughly enjoyed. Big fan of the bread here, because sometimes you get those shops that serve up that really tough baguette that cuts up the roof of your mouth. But not here! Also we did order an iced coffee from here which was great and definitely kept me up in the evening. Anyways, after seeing some pictures of the bun bo hue, we'll definitely need to make another trip out. 'Til next time, cheers!

    Inside of the restaurant hasn't changed much in years

    My favorite Vietnamese place anywhere. This place hasn't changed much in 10 years inside but that's fine as long as the food is still good. Price has gone up a lot unfortunately but at least it's still pretty good. Meat in the soup had a bit of an off taste like it was in plastic bowl or something but otherwise everything tasted so good and nostalgic. I've been coming here for years and it's still a favorite. Was craving this pork and egg patty plate. Not a fan of the string skin years later (very dry and flavorless and a weird texture) but otherwise love this plate. The pork has so much flavor. Was a bit too fatty this time tho. Love their spring rolls so fresh and has mint so it's refreshing.

    This creature that works here at Pho Ha is fantastic ! Foods great and customer service is very kind

That said, it definitely didn't deter me from coming back! I didn't get a chance to try the gelato this time, but there were several flavors I had my eye on. I'll definitely be back to give them a try. Overall, such a cute bakery with a great variety of treats!

Spacious and well lit and clean - but then I encounter bored untrained staff who apparently have no clue what they are offering - and worse - seem indifferent to their lack of knowledge of their menu offerings - it's not their fault they don't speak Arabic or Farsi - but the ignorance as to what is in the pastry showcase or details of their drink menu is just staggering: I ask whether any of their desserts contain nuts because my friend has a fatal allergy...answer: "not really sure but not to my knowledge" (I'm afraid that just isn't good enough for this doctor). I then ask innocently whether they have any decaffeinated tea - the chap behind the counter says with confidence "Black tea doesn't have any caffeine" I was surprised enough to question my own knowledge- and my companion, who is a medical nutritionist seemed stunned and gave up as well. She said "black tea contains about 50mg per cup - which is around half that of coffee", but he didn't take the bait and stated with that confidence that only pure ignorant bliss can impart : "No, black tea has no caffeine - it's tea...not coffee." (Suggestion to the owners here: you may want to educate your staff and quick) Then I ask patiently for the list of ingredients of the various pretty looking unlabeled and mysterious sweets selection behind the glass cabinet.... Again no understanding of what I'm asking about. "No we aren't told what's inside each and we get our pastries from small suppliers but I think there are no nuts - I don't see any nuts - and they don't tell us what's inside" ... meanwhile I see pistachios scattered all over at least two desserts in the case - and I'm only asking for a rudimentary description of ingredients- and about what's inside each item - surely not too much to ask or expect (am I being difficult here?) To the owners: this customer thought you made all your desserts in-house but your staff happily tell us customers the truth - but either way..... Surely you'd want to know what you are offering your customers ? - I mean, some of the pastries look pretty tasty, but without knowing what's inside.... I give up. Then there is the price : $16.00 for a coffee and a tea. Okay... I tell myself I am trying this place a second time and I've been told good things by friends since here last (cardamom and cinnamon spiced hot drinks! ) So when I am served my tea and coffee at the table, I ask innocently for a napkin, and the waiter (Mr "Caffeine-Free tea") nods towards the other side of the cafe and says "napkins are over there" and walks off. I guess he expects me to get up and walk over to get myself a napkin (which one would have expected he'd have brought in the first place with the drinks) - and so reluctantly I've decided this is just not the place for me to relax - And at this point I just give up ... and give in to a tasty coffee - it was pretty good - and decide sadly never to return - even if invited.

My husband and I don't really plan on eating here because we just come to use the machines, take a few classes, and sit in the hot tub (which is pretty amazing); however, we decided to give it a shot just to say we've eaten there. Life Cafe's philosophy is to provide clean, healthy food to the people using the facilities. That means no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial ingredients, organic and gluten-free options, and so forth. To my surprise, they actually do a good job of sticking with this philosophy and creating a yummy menu. They also make a variety of smoothies with fruits, juices, yogurt, and milk (almond milk available for $.50 more). Whey protein is added to nearly all smoothies but you can request VeganMax protein instead, which is Lifetime's vegan protein supplement. SWEET. (I hate whey.) My husband ordered the savory roast beef sandwich and I had a wild-caught grilled salmon salad with a smoothie. The food is made fresh behind the counter so there is a slight wait. However, you're able to sit at the table and hang out until they bring the food to you (you're given a number sign when you order). My husband's sandwich seemed kind of small; yet, my salad was huge. They were both REALLY GOOD -- much better than we had expected from a place inside a fitness center. My strawberry/banana/orange juice smoothie was good although I could taste the protein powder with every sip. I got used to it. I wish they had more veggie smoothies. The cafe has a good amount of tables, large windows, and shelves of products for sale. I pretty much ignore the walls of products, but the snack bars are cool. So what's the catch? Why the four stars? The food is EXPENSIVE! Kyle's sandwich and my salad were nearly $9 each. I realize that the quality is amazing (and heck, Lifetime's membership isn't cheap) but I just can't afford to pour more money into this place. I'm still glad we tried it!
