10/10 experience every time I come in. I don't know how i haven't already rated this place! Service is friendly and not overbearing. Ambiance is consistent, and they'll accommodate your table for the amount of guests! Beef broth Pho, Chicken broth Pho never miss, made fresh! Don't get me started on the Bahn Mi the Pork Bahn Mi bread is soft and warm and the pork is SO flavorful. To top off the dinner i recommend the avocado smoothie!! smooth cold fresh!!! but if that's not your thing the Teas are great too :) read more

Good is great, pho w/beef is very tasty and healthy! I tried the spring rolls and they were delicious.. drink I tried the peach and the sweetness is was perfect. Good service and great ambiance I would recommend this to everyone that is looking for good PHO read more

I love this place. I've been so many times and can't believe I've never reviewed it. There's a reason why they're so highly rated and they've earned it While I do like the pho, I come here for the báhn mì. They're so freaking good. I always order the pork, but I'm sure can't go wrong with any of them. We always order a pork vermicelli salad with egg rolls to share with the table. They're quite large and very easily shareable. Just ask for additional bowls. Love the spring rolls with the peanut sauce. They say an order comes with 2, but they're large and each cut in half, so you get 4 on a serving plate. My kid loves the smoothies. She thinks they're a must if we're there. I mean who am I to argue? If you want good Vietnamese, you'll love this place read more

Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Pho Thien is my favorite place for pho in Naperville. We've been here a bunch of times for dining in and take-out. Even though there are a few other pho spots closer to our home, we'll make the extra drive to Pho Thien; it's worth it. Their broth is clear and flavorful, and... this was a telling sign: when I ordered takeout, their rare sliced beef was carefully bagged, and their mint leaves were hand selected and also carefully bagged (not just thrown and smushed in a bag with all the bean sprouts. The food was packed with love and care, and it just shows the level of quality of the food and service here. This is an aside, but even on their website, there are instructions on how to reheat your pho take-out to get the optimal quality/taste/experience. I love that... it offers information and guidance to their customers and the short of it is: reheat the broth on a stove. It's so much better than the microwave. I almost always get the Pho Dac Biet, although sometimes I've venture out to get a different pho-meat combination. I fell in love with their Vietnamese iced coffee with hazelnut salted foam. I have ordered this drink dining and and for take out (dining in is better) but I loved it so much that I tried recreating the salted cream at home and had it for a week (yes, obsessed is the word). Five shining stars to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Naperville. read more

I stopped in for lunch with a coworker, and while the restaurant was busy, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Since they seemed short-staffed, it took a while to get a table, place our orders, and finally receive our food. Being on a tight lunch break, the long wait definitely put a damper on the meal. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and the Pho Dac Biet (P1), but compared to other pho spots around Naperville, the portions were smaller than expected--especially regarding the size of the spring rolls and the amount of toppings in the pho. On the plus side, my coworker's Banh Mi Thit Nuong looked great and was a generous portion. The service struggled to keep up with the rush, as several tables remained unbussed while new guests waited to be seated. Pho Thien is tucked away in the Hobson West Plaza; even my wife, a lifelong Naperville resident, didn't know it existed. I only discovered it because it's near the old Secretary of State DMV and the Naperville Fresh Market. While it might be a better experience during off-peak hours, I feel there are better options in the area for the price. read more

Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen - P1 - Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Naperville. This is my new go to Pho option in the area. We ordered Rice Combination plate, Steak and Chicken Pho, house fried chicken wings, shrimp spring rolls and Tofu Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwhich). We really enjoyed the steak pho, meat was tender and cooked just right, the broth was flavorful and went well with the fresh Basil. The rice combo was delicious, which included grilled pork, egg cake, grilled shrimp and topped with fried egg. I didn't really care for the fried chicken wings as it tasted like the "average Joe"fried wings you'd get at Jewel, I was expecting it to be more flavorful. Spring rolls were average and didn't particularly stand out from other Pho places. They accommodate for food allergies and had various GF options. Service was excellent and restaurant was clean. Thank You read more

Pho isn't something that I'm an expert on. I've had it from maybe 10ish places, but, from pho thien Vietnamese kitchen? Oh yeaaaah, it's my favorite of all time! This family owned and family run business does it good, REAAAAALLLLLLL GOOD. My friend and I dined in for lunch and we came in at the perfect time. We somehow managed to sneak in right before a big rush (1pm on a weekend). Even with people constantly coming in to dine in or pick up for carry out, all staff members were fast and kept their A+++ game strong. This is a very casual spot that can seat up to ~40 guests. It isn't fancy by any means, but it doesn't need to be. This is the perfect place to grab great food and come as you are. I tried the P9 (Pho Tai Chin - P9 Pho noodles with beef broth served with thinly sliced rare steak and brisket), frickin delicious! I devoured the entire thing in 1 sitting, EVEN THE BROTH!! Everything was flavorful and spot on. The brisket and steak had great texture and the noodles took to the broth well. I can see myself having pho from here all day, everyday, even in 90 degree weather. I don't care, I don't care, it's that good! read more

If you're craving Vietnamese comfort food, run, don't walk to Pho Thien Kitchen! The chicken banh mi? Absolute magic. Tender, juicy chicken, super fresh veggies, and a sauce that made me want to high-five the chef. It's perfect for sharing--if you can resist eating it all yourself! Now, let's talk pho tai chin. That broth? WOW. So rich, so flavorful--it's basically a warm hug in a bowl. Sure, the meat was a little shy on flavor, but no biggie because the broth stole the show. Add a dash of chili oil, and you've got yourself a spicy little masterpiece. Bonus points for the generous noodle game! The service? Lightning fast. The place? Sparkling clean. Am I coming back? Oh, absolutely--because that chicken pho is calling my name! Pho Thien Kitchen, you've officially pho-stolen my heart. read more

Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen Omg. I just had one of the best pho hands down! Wow! Was not expecting this! Chicken wings were excellent too. We were in the area and since our event did not start yet we decided to drop by. Chicago was too far for pho but this place was a min away from our event. Came by not expecting much. As we were in the car we saw swams of people in groups heading to this restaurant. I was like what? This place cannot be this good! They had just open and people were lining up to go in. Really?? Yes! The pho is that good! I ordered the usual, Pho Dac Biet, and tasted the broth without anything. Tasted perfect and excellent. Not watered down! Wow. Finished it with zero complaints. ***FYI, I'm a crazy pho eater that has to have pho from all over. I travel far and in between the states. Eating from LA, Vegas, MN, WI, MI, IL, NC, OH, Manhattan, NY, FL, KS, MS, D.C. Canada, etc. I've had the best pho (rated by the expert locals) in LA, Hollywood, Chicago, GA, and FL. I make reviews after tasting their pho. I know what pho is good and what is fake!*** Do not miss this GEM! If your outside Chicago, try this place !! My Star System: 1=Dumpster fire. Don't waste your money 2=Disappointed. Lot of issues 3=Average, 1-2 issues. 4=Above average, I might come again 1-3 times per year 5=Highest. I will come back a few times a month or more. If I live far, it's at the top of my list to visit when I'm in town. Highly recommended read more

Tucked away in a corner, this place is worth visiting whenever you want viet food in Naperville! The food tasted so comforting and authentic! And service was kind and fast too. To start, me and my friend shared the woven vermicelli which was so so refreshing and good! The meat was super tender and flavorful and pairs so well with the fish sauce. I tried their bun bo hue for my entree and it was a hit! The broth was super flavorful I barely had to add any sauce. It was perfect to eat since its getting cooler outside. Special mention - whoever was in charge of the music that day deserves a raise! They were playing Disney bops from Hannah Montana hahaha read more

Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen is rated on Google as essentially the best place to grab pho in Naperville and the pho did not disappoint! Outside of the pho, they surprised me several times. First, the peanut sauce for the shrimp spring rolls was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Best peanut sauce of my life - it was SO thick and creamy topped with a nutty crunch! Second, yes the iced Viet coffee doesn't look like much in quantity when I got it but especially after the ice melted a little bit, WOW. I get Viet coffees EVERY time I see it on anyone's menu and I genuinely think Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen does it best and the most authentically. Yes, it's strong as to be expected but it is AMAZING! I genuinely cannot wait to go back!!! read more

Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen - P1 - Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

This used to be one of my go-to places for Vietnamese food, unfortunately it seemed like new ownership? Last time I was here it was family run. We came here on 7/10/24 and it was like all new staff. Even the clientele was different. There used to be a lot of Vietnamese that would eat there but it's completely different now. The customer service was like a 2 out of 5. We walked in and no one acknowledged us, so we sat ourselves. We had to wave someone down. We ordered hot tea and pho. The problem was we got the pho before the hot tea. It seemed like the Indian waitress was very inexperienced with customer service. I gave the service a 2 because the Asian girl seemed to be in charge and checked up on us. I got the chicken pho which is basically just chicken and noodle soup, nothing else. The broth was good. The beef one looked like it had a lot of oil. The menu for July was severely limited for appetizers and entrees. The food was decent but the service sucked. read more

This place is amazing & consistent. I love that they are reasonable with their prices and their service is very attentive and quick!

I used to love it here but during this recent visit, I was pretty disappointed with the food quality. The spring roll and egg rolls were bland, but at least the egg rolls were not. The bun bo hue lacked spice and you could tell the meat cuts were not as high quality as before. Typically you get a beef shank but there was barely anything. The only decent bite was their banh mi but i wouldn't say it's anything spectacular. read more

Have been here at least a couple times now. The first time was around 5 years ago, not sure if they still offer it, but during lunch, a kids size bowl was $5 and was just perfect for a lunch without feeling overly full, even with a side of spring rolls. Just recently came here again this past weekend with the hubby for a Sunday, quick lunch before headed towards the city. Typically, we usually get pho at a vietnamesr restaurant. Though we both weren't that hungry, we opted to get two appetizers, wings and their pork patty roll and then we shared their Bun Bo Hue. It was the perfect amount of food for us and we couldn't get over how flavorful the BBH was. We only added lime, the garnishes and I like spicy, so I added a few other spices, but I would've honestly just ate it default. The noodles were good, the broth tasted a tad spicy, herbs of lemon grass, subtly salty and tart. Not all BBH tastes the same, but this one is up there for my preference based on ones I've had so far. It also had a good amount of protein. Furthermore, very friendly staff, nice environment, kinda of small, but felt quaint and comfortable. A must try! read more

One of the best pho around the area and I'm picky with the broth. The banh mi and spring rolls were also delicious. The service is great and quick. Every time I went, this place was packed inside. Cozy vibe. read more

We decided to drive to Pho Thien Vietnamese Kitchen for Pho and Bahn Mi for dinner. As Pho and Thai food lovers we will drive miles for good Pho or Thai. Michael was very friendly, attentive and personable. We had the Pho Tai Bien, Pho Thai Chin and a Bahn Mi Thit Nuong. All were fabulous. The Pho broth was some of the best we have had. They also has Ground Chili at every table and a smoky house-made Chili Oil available on request as well. Well worth the 10 mile drive and we will definitely be back as this was our first time here. pho Thien was also a very busy Pho restaurant compared to most (and we have been to many) which also says something about their ambiance, food and service. read more

The food was not terrible, but extremely muted. The dishes lacked the herbs and core ingredients that usually give Vietnamese food its distinct flavor, and what was there felt skimpy. Everything tasted watered down and adjusted for a specific audience. If you're looking for bold, authentic Vietnamese flavors, this is not the place. read more

One of the best pho restaurants in the area. The broth, noodles, and steak in the Pho Tai have good texture and flavor, which have both been fairly consistent across the times I've visited. The quality of service varies depending on who is working. Their chef is on vacation right now, so the menu for this month is quite limited; only pho is offered. read more

Came here last night with my family. It was alright. The pho was alright. Nothing spectacular but fills the pho craving. Would rate it a 6/10. I also got the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi. The Grilled Pork was very flavorful, however the bread was really soft and nothing too special. Not like a typical Bahn Mi bun. Overall it was ok food. The service was not bad either. Took a while to get the waitress' attention but pretty friendly. read more

By far the best pho in the area! We also enjoy the bahn mi sandwiches and the boba teas. All delicious. The service is always great and attentive. We find ourselves coming here for lunch and or dinner especially when looking for a warm soup on a cold or rainy day. If you haven't tried it, you should. You will not be disappointed. read more

We come here at least twice a month. My husband loves the house pho. My kids love the grilled pork bang mi (with veggies on the side). I love the pork chop rice and the appetizer of steamed rice cakes topped with dried shrimp and shallots and crispy pork rinds. The taro bubble tea is great too and they can put it in a togo cup so you don't have to worry about finishing it at the restaurant. read more

Solid bowl of pho. Noodles not overcooked. Good, standard broth flavor. The star dish for me was the grilled pork patty spring rolls. There was a sweet, crunchy roll-like ingredient in the spring roll that made the spring roll fantastic in addition to the balance of fresh veggies and salty pork flavor. Service was friendly and good. Plenty of free parking. read more

Guys!! I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately had a disappointing experience--twice. Both times happened, first time, my friend found a hair in her noodle bowl. Today, I ordered the shrimp roll, I found a hair in it. That's unacceptable once, but for it to happen again shows a serious lack of attention to cleanliness. When I brought it up to the staff, there was only sorry but with no explanation, and no effort to offer a discount or make things right. Additionally, she didn't even answer my question and just walked away. The pho itself was okay, but customer service is just as important. Sadly, I won't be coming back. read more

Very disappointed. Soup spilled over fried egg rolls. Egg roll soggy cannot be eaten. Broth container is half it spilled over the egg rolls and whole order. Need refund for the egg rolls cannot be eaten. read more

I'm somewhat picky about chicken and how it's cooked. For some reason, it doesn't have very much flavor. Overall, I wasn't excited about this dish which is one of my favorites to order in Vietnamese restaurants. I had this same exact dish in Rosemont a week ago and it was so delicious. So what makes this so different I thought. Must be the cook and how meats are seasoned and prepared. read more

Located in a strip mall near the Naperville DMV, it's a non-descript simple storefront but food is good. We got there early, a little after five, but already a few diners and plenty of carry out. When we left it was getting busy. We ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls served with a peanut sauce. It's not a fried egg roll like my friend was expecting, cold but tasty and fresh. I ordered the Bun Ga Nuomg Cha Gio that has vermicelli noodles, salad, and chopped egg rolls served with a fish sauce. I'm glad I tried something new as it was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect with noodles and salad, would it be warm or cold? Chicken and egg roll was warm, rest was room temperature or slightly chilled. We also got the Beef Pho and combo special. Fast service and reasonably priced, I'll be back! read more

It was our first time here and we were satisfied with the food, the service and the ambiance. The only thing was that the restaurant advertises a window sign with crepes but they no longer serve, which was a bummer. That was primarily a reason to go here. Other than that, everything was good. Will be back. NO CREPES here. read more

The dishes here are not bad, but I don't think they stand out either. The pho was decent, but I do think there's better in the area. I was super disappointed by the cold cut banh mi that I got though. There was barely any filling- it was just mostly bread and the bread didn't even feel like it was toasted. I will say the bun thit nuong was good though, pork was super tender and grilled to perfection! If there's one thing to get here I would say it's this. read more

I really wanted some delicious Bun Bo Hue and did some research online and found this place. The lychee mango tapioca was absolutely stunning. The shrimp rolls was delicious too! I'm so sorry but the Bun Bo Hue with the fish sauce was terrible. And I love fish sauce. It just wasn't a good combination in my opinion. I would not go back probably because it's over an hour drive for me. However, the staff was amazing and so knowledgeable. 4 stars for the staffs alone. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely try out the place. It's just the fish sauce was too overwhelming for me. read more

Definitely the best pho I've had in a while! I've been 3 days in a row and ate the pho each time. Only problem was I ordered and extra side of tendon and the broth it came in was barley warm compared to my whole bowl of pho. This would be 5 stars but no ones perfect however they're striving towards it! read more

Excellent Pho. Food came out quick and hot! Will definitely return for more! Authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

This place has become our new go to, or so I thought, since our favorite spot in the city closed (Le's Phö). I'm big on consistency but on our last visit this past week, the broth didn't taste as well as our previous three visits. No sure if different chef since it was on a weekday but I was almost convinced we wouldn't go anywhere else but here, now I'm not so sure. Other than that, great banh mi and great service. Will be back but not anytime soon. read more
