Bahn Mi Sauteed Beef Sandwich
Brian D.

Tried this place for the first time last year and it's turned into one of my weekly my go-to's. Probably my favorite thing is their Hu Tieu Bo Kho (stew with noodles). The beef is so tender, and you add a little spice to it and it's the perfect meal for this time of season. I also enjoy their fire wings a lot. Probably the best around. The Shrimp Salad (Goi Tom) is also excellent and unique. It has salad with cabbage, mint, daikon carrots, onions and shrimps, topped with fried shallots and roasted peanuts and their own homemade sauce. They've recently added the Banh Mi sandwiches as well and these are also very good. I'd do these at lunchtime only. For excellent flavor and spice, Pho Home is at the top of my list! 5 stars!

Hot and Spicy Beef (Bun Bo Hue) and Rice with Crispy Chicken
Shanel S.

Really solid Vietnamese restaurant in a small and somewhat busy shopping plaza. Gives a hole in the wall feel and was consistently busy throughout our dine-in lunch on a Sunday. I had been craving Pho for weeks and wanted to nip a cold in the bud. This was a comforting choice. I didn't end up with the Pho (lol!) but I still got a soup - Bun Bo Hue. It was divine!! Filled with beef, thick noodles and the perfect spice and temperature. It was enough to share and a great complement to our other entree, the crispy chicken. I highly recommend both! Comes with rice, dipping sauce, little salad and egg. We ended our lunch with a Vietnamese coffee treat and the waitress was really sweet and made sure our coffee wasn't, haha (per our request). She was the only server that afternoon and was still attentive and brought everything out timely. I will definitely be back again...and this time to try the Pho!

Very fresh and good portion spring roll
Art J.

Just came from my work near O'Hare airport. Had seen this Vietnamese restaurant at this plaza in Harwood Heights. It's interesting to see the change of ethnic restaurants when I used to work around here and then this was a Chinese restaurant. Very quiet Low key if not modest Vietnamese restaurant. As usual I ordered my usual favorites the exception of the beverage. And ordered their strawberry lemonade according to their menu is in-house and when I tasted it it was very fresh. There was no gimmick in there in House non alcoholic beverages. Service was very friendly and somewhat quick not exactly very quick. There's spring rolls which I'm surprised had a lot of flavor especially with the shrimp and the freshness of the wrap up cilantro. Vermicelli noodles in which they gave a very generous if not hearty portion. The particular phone I ordered which was two weeks or p2 was flavorful but portion wise was a little small. I still left satisfied but then again I'm older and I don't have the voracious appetite like when I was a 20, 30 or early 40 year old. Do come here if you're in Harwood Heights, Illinois with a change of Asian ethnic variety.

Amazing Hủ Tiếu Bò Kho (stew with noodles)
Jessica S.

My friends and I checked out Phone Home for the first time the other day, and we all agreed that we'd be back soon, especially because my friend lives right down the street from here. When we walked in, the worker was friendly. She told us we could sit anywhere in the dining room, and after we did, she quickly brought over menus. I was surprised by how spacious the place was, especially for a restaurant in a strip mall. Everything looked clean and well-kept, which is always a good sign. One of my friends and I started with the Spring Rolls ($6.95), and they were fresh, light, and delicious. Each order comes with two rolls stuffed with shrimp, noodles, mint, lettuce, and bean sprouts. The peanut sauce on the side wasn't something I expected to love, but after the first few dips, I couldn't stop. It was so good! The pho was also phenomenal, and we were all impressed by how affordable the large bowls were for such high quality. I ordered the Hủ Tiếu Bò Kho (Stew with Noodles) [$15.95]. The beef was unbelievably tender, the broth was rich and flavorful, and every ingredient mixed well and tasted like it belonged in the broth. I added a little sriracha for some extra heat, which made the stew even better. If you're a pho lover, this spot is a must-try! But even if pho isn't your thing, they have plenty of other options like Bánh Mì and Vermicelli Noodle Plates. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Izacc S.

The service was great! The food was very well seasoned and warm It was a nice meal for a cold day. There are bathrooms which were nice. However, the server did have to come to re confirm our order because she was taking our order based off of memory. There was no booklet that she was using. The iced coffees also tasted more like chocolate milk rather than coffee.

Pho steak
Teresa H.

First time here! Loved this place. The veggie egg rolls were so yum. I had the thin steak pho! It was great super delicious and filling! Great service! And attentive service I want to try the Vietnamese coffee here! The place is very nice inside not fancy just prefect for a causal lunch or dinner!

Menu

Solid neighborhood Vietnamese joint. I stopped by here since it was a close walk. The location is on a strip with plenty of parking, driving seems the norm for most of the clientele. The location decor is very standard for a Vietnamese restaurant. Banh Mi Cha Lua Traditional choice. The bread is toasted, crunchy, and light. Meat filling is a little on the light side. Veggies fresh. Bun Bo Hue Spicy brother to Pho. In other restaurants, you'll see knuckle bone and other cuts of meat. This location didn't do that. The meats in the soup were only sliced. The broth had good flavor, but was lacking depth. Spice level was nice. Veggie accoutrements were fresh. Would try the pho for a comparison.

Spring Rolls

Always have a good experience here! From the Bay Area, I am always in search of good pho that compares, I would say this does! Service: great service! And if you check in on Yelp you get 15% off!! Ambiance: casual

Menu

We ordered take out from this place tonight when our regular place was closed (Pho Tam). Broth all had to be reheated as we did take out. The pho tai (beef) was good. We ordered 4 orders. It has extraordinarily lean & excellent meat - the best I've ever had. And we've had lots of Pho - from Argyle St places to Milwaukee, WI and at least 4 other area places. We love pho! The beef broth is on the plain side but adding the accoutrements gives it the needed boost. The spring (aka fresh) rolls are good (light on lettuce & mint) and individually wrapped which I appreciate so they don't dry out, the peanut sauce is different, not peanut-y or as thick as other places but fine. The fried "egg rolls", which we normally call spring rolls, were good, not sure what they stuff them with, tasted like some sort of meat and the dipping sauce had a nice light (mild) heat. My daughter had the pho ga (chicken) and loved it - she's 7. :) Thought I took more pics but nope, you'll have to try them yourselves! We'll definitely return and we recommend this place to you!

Egg Rolls Chicken Wings
Nicki C.

Another cold rainy day and I wanted something comforting. Never tried Pho Home so took a chance on ordering in. They did not disappoint! Broth was still hot when it came and perfectly spicy! The noodles, meats, and topping were packed to the side. Fresh herbs and vegs that were served were mint, cilantro, bean sprouts, red onion, red cabbage, and lime. I also ordered chicken wings and chose the sweet sauce and egg rolls. Wings were crisp and sweet but not overly sweet, so good! Egg rolls were tasty as well. Thai iced tea was okay, it had too much cream. It would be very good if there were less cream, I personally like my Thai iced tea with a splash of cream. Overall a tasty dinner and will def try more items!

Spring Rolls
Lauren W.

Stopped here on the way to the ORD airport from Wisconsin for a quick lunch. Egg rolls are fried to perfection, it's so crispy! The pho beef broth is very flavorful and didn't feel overly fatty like other broths I've tried. Service is quick and simple. The overall restaurant is clean and spacious, nice lighting and music

Chicken pho, marinated chicken Chicken Breasts Skewers and Cherry Pomenade
Greg P.

I've already been back like 4 times in about a weeks span. The more I eat the more it grows on me. Today I tried the beef stew which was delicious, it includes a variety of meats, could do without the tendons, as it's too chewy but the stew was really tasty and the baguette was amazing. They added smoothies recently, and they are really good. I had the mango smoothie which was really natural tasting, not overly sweet or syrupy. Looking forward to trying more flavors.

Vietnamese coffee-yes! Yes! Yes!

Does the chicken pho come with grilled chicken pieces of shredded chicken?

Chicken pho unfortunately is still a soup so we still use just chicken meat. We do have marinated children skewers if you want to add that to your order or just substitute it in and pay the difference.

I mean one hand on your sandwich and one hand on the barbeque squeeze bottle. You need to squirt the sandwich before each bite... If it is not dripping your not using enough. Give it a try at least once. The fried mushrooms and onion rings were also a favorite when growing up. Now that my husband and I are trying to eat better... We get one meal with coleslaw and fries and one coleslaw with corn and we divide them up so we are not eating too many fries. They have fountain drinks and you fill your own cup. There is plenty of seating. Tbere is a covered indoor patio section and picnic tables out on the grass on the other side of the parking lot too. The bathrooms are cramped but at least they have bathrooms. They have video gaming machines, and lots of televisions with closed captions. They play oldies music loud enough that you don't hear the people at the next tables conversation. The dining room is very relaxing and service is fast and friendly. When you approach the ordering counter, you see the menu on the wall. You place your order and receive a number placque. They give you your drink cups as soon as you place your order and pay. I love that you can fill your own cups (free refills on fountain drinks too) They bring your order to the table. Tbere is a lot of paper waste, there should be a better way to serve the food but this has been working out well for them for many many years! If your planning on visiting Brookfield Zoo it is only about 5 miles from here and a great place to get some dinner and relax afterwards. They have kids meals, booster seats and high chairs. #KidFriendly

I've always seen this spot in my Facebook feed and today I was close enough to give them a try. I'm…read moreso glad I did. I walked in and was greeted by a very nice lady behind the counter. After looking over the menu, I had it narrowed down to a couple of burgers, then the lady told me about the Burger of the Month named "Good Night Irene" which has a panko breaded crab cake with pico de gallo and a spicy remoulade on top of half pound in-house chuck and pork belly blend burger patty. Thats all I needed to hear, so I order the burger and the garlic Parmesan fries. While I waited for my food, I noticed how cool the place was. Rock and Roll memorabilia all through the restaurant. They had a Heart concert playing on the screens. Even the bathroom had rock and roll quotes on the walls. I received my food and after the first bite I was in burger nirvana. The crab cake was crisp and seasoned well. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium. They combined for one hell of a delicious bite. The remoulade and pico de gallo had a nice zip that pulled the entire burger together. The garlic Parmesan fries were crisp and fluffy with just the right amount of garlic and Parmesan. My food also came with a delicious Almost Famous butter cookie. It would have been awesome with a milkshake. They have milkshakes on the menu, but I didn't order one. At the end of my meal I had to tell the gentleman behind the counter that it was an awesome burger. All in all, great burger, great service, great music and a great vibe. I'm looking forward to the next Burger of the Month.

The flavor was bold, the chicken was juicy, and the crispiness was exactly what you want in every bite. They've mastered balancing texture and taste, especially with the pimento cheese, Cajun aioli, and bacon! YUMMMMM! My husband also enjoyed his food because he ordered the Leadbelly Burger ($10.95), but then added grilled onions and bacon onto it for $1.95 each. What stood out was the atmosphere. The walls are covered with rockstar photos and they play good music. They also have music trivia cards on each table so you can play with your friends/family. It felt like stepping into a tribute to rock and roll while enjoying some excellent food. Whether you're a music lover or just someone looking for a unique dining experience, this place delivers on all fronts. The service was also fantastic because the workers were friendly and quick, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! The cool thing, too, is that you can have any of their "burger recipes" as a chicken sandwich, so there are plenty of options. I highly recommend for both the food and the vibe.
