    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pho Ha is a very casual, cozy family owned Vietnamese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. - [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is warm and lively--great for a casual meal, solo slurp, or an easy meet-up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - 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.

    Pho Ha was a genuine surprise to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside is unassuming, and the inside has a home style feel. Sitting down, it felt welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a nice cheap homey pho place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place hasn't changed much in 10 years inside but that's fine as long as the food is still good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

For food, I ordered the healthy turkey omelet, potatoes, and a side of chicken sausage. The omelet and potatoes were hot, but the chicken sausage was just warm. There was a good amount of turkey and spinach in the omelet and it will definitely keep me full for a while. Overall, I think the food was good. The service was okay. I think I'll stick to the purple haze next time!

    First time here and I already feel like I should have a loyalty punch card…read more Rolled in around noon on a Friday, and was seated almost immediately. I ordered the Iron Man omelette from the "Lighter Side" section, which sounds modest but clearly has superhero-level powers. Moments later, a glorious cloud of fluffy egg whites loaded with veggies landed in front of me like a gift from heaven. Now let's talk about the true headliner: the half avocado atop the omelette. Not the sad, rock-hard "maybe it'll ripen by Thursday" kind. This was an award-winning avocado performance. Perfectly ripe, green, and flavorful. The most perfect piece of produce ever produced. And then...strawberries, watermelon, and other tasty fresh fruit on the side. In February. In the Midwest. I don't know what kind of agricultural wizardry is happening back there in the kitchen, but I support it. As if that weren't enough, the waitress noticed my deep emotional commitment to hot sauce and brought me not one but TWO Cholula flavors. That's not just service. That's the kind of service that brings a tear to my eye. I was too overwhelmed with happiness to take photos, but let me just say it was an amazing lunch. Honestly, I may order this exact meal for my next ten visits because why mess with perfection? Outside of my ideal meal documented here, the breakfast+lunch menu is extensive, the daily soup rotation is strong, and everything about this place screams "small town gem." Came for lunch. Left emotionally attached to an avocado. 10/10.

I was seated pretty quickly and given a menu and ordered my standard unleaded coffee - decaf for those of you in the know. The ambience of the place was pretty good - very modern- very nice and it looked like it was very well-maintained. Always a good thing! To be honest? The only demerit was the waitress. Oh, she was good as a waitress, but she was not warm or welcoming - it seemed like she was just going through the motions, albeit professionally. It kind of makes a difference to me, you know? I decided to order a build your own omelette - I got turkey, sausage, turkey, bacon, and green peppers. In addition, I ordered a side of French toast and decided to try the hashbrowns because they look like they were housemade and not frozen. After a short bit of time, the food came out and oh my God! The portions were huge. I ate the French toast first but the only thing I noticed was the syrup was room temperature and not warmed up - not exactly a dealbreaker for me, but it would've pushed them over the top. The hashbrowns? Excellent! I put some hot sauce on the omelette and ate it all up - lickety split! So - would I come back? Probably. But I would hope for a different waitress is all. But I will say this - any breakfast joint that starts getting busy the very moment they open up at 7 AM on Sunday morning? Must be doing something right!
