We have been going to this location for a few years now. The food is great however the lady that is always there, not sure if she owns the restaurant is not welcoming at all. She never talks to customers or even smiles at all. read more

Solid Vietnamese food for a fair price. I love the egg rolls here, they are authentic Viet Style with meat and taro, just like my mom makes! I frequent this restaurant each time I am in town. Cash or Zelle only! read more

ahhhhh i tried to like this place but not too sure - banh xeo - it was drenched in oil to the point that the bottom side was so soggy and falling apart. - pho - flavor was sort of there but it was mid - noodle dish - this was pretty good, good portion size the waitress/owner was nice but could be a little bit more attentive. the restaurant itself was big and had ample seating the meat in the banh xeo and the noodle salad had very similar meats thrown in so the flavor profile was the same, if I come back, i'll only get the bun vermicelli salad do note, this place is only cash only! no credit card or apple pay. beware read more

I was excited to see bun bo hue on the menu with all the proper fixings, hoping this would be a reasonably authentic spot. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The broth lacked depth. It tasted like bun bo hue, but it felt like shortcuts were taken. The chicken wings on the side were laughably small and greasy. To make matters worse, gratuity was automatically added, and the place being cash-only felt a bit suspicious. The only positive was that the restaurant itself was large and spacious. That's about it. read more

Very delicious pho, great bubble tea, and great prices. They are cash or Zelle only, but I dont mind.

Viet Taste is a steady and stable provider of popular and affordable lunch. The Phô is solid with a savory broth, the ingredients are fresh and the service is cheerful and quick. The meat content is acceptable though thin in my experience. The atmosphere is standard with clean cheap decor but quiet with no unpleasant music. The tables are generally full at lunch, most table are eating the soup but other fare is available such as Ban Mi and a few standard fried appetizers and rice paper rolls as well as a few rice dishes. The restaurant is cash only so plan on that. Popular for a reason, I regularly enjoy this place as it is friendly, clean, and reliable. Recommended. read more

Food is good. Must pay CASH ONLY in restaurant and when ordering online it's through a service that charges you an additional fee and when you get there to pick it up? The restaurant has to check to see if they have the order through that service. Poor management on the restaurant end, they really need to step into the century since most places are totally digital payment. They don't even accept credit cards. read more

Broth for pho OK, trolls below average. The place was empty and they make you pay with cash, which is shady. Also they do t tell you that you have to pay with cash until you are ready to pay. They offer Zelle for payment too. So plan ahead if you go here. Not worth the money read more

Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience here on 4/13/25. I ordered a pork banh mi, the meat was totally undercooked, basically raw as shown in the image below (which gave me food poisoning later that night). The meat and vegetables were served at room temperature--not hot, not cold, just... off. It made me question how long the food had been sitting out before it got to me. Within hours, I was extremely sick--nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, extreme dehydration and I ended up having to leave work early on Monday. Food safety is not something to take lightly, especially when it comes to pork. If you decide to eat here, PLEASE be careful and check your food before digging in. I truly hope they address this issue before someone else gets sick. Price: $6-7 for 1 banh mi, $6 for an order of crab rangoon Taste: Flavor of everything in it was bland. The bread tasted old as it was very very dry. Every place I've ever gotten banh mi from, the bread was always fresh or made day of. The filling inside the crab rangoon was very very sweet--not my preference since the sauce they gave me was also sweet. Service: 1/5. The lady who took my order wasn't that friendly or welcoming. She was on her phone the whole time and acted like she didn't want to be there. read more

Does NOT accept credit cards. Cash only. There's an ATM in the restaurant to withdraw cash, but it's still inconvenient. Everything else was good. The food is delicious. I ordered noodle salad with shrimps and pork which I never had before. It was good. Lots of veggies which I like, and the shrimps and pork were flavorful. My boyfriend ordered spring rolls for our appetizer and seafood pho. It was a lot of seafood ingredients in his seafood pho. The broth tasted very nice too. The food was good portions for the price. We ended up bringing food home. Would come here more often when it accepts credit cards. read more

Dine-In Experience: Viet Taste offers a cozy and quiet atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The restaurant has ample seating, service is always efficient and quick, and while they only accept cash for dine-in orders, there is an ATM available inside for convenience. Takeout Experience: For takeout, it's convenient to be able to pay by card when ordering online. My orders have always been ready right on time. I particularly appreciate how the pho is packaged, being separate containers for the broth, meat and vegetables, and sauces and toppings. Food: The pho portions are generous, and I usually can't finish a full bowl of pho on my own. The broth is flavorful, and the meat is tender. One thing I've noticed, however, is that I tend to feel a bit sleepy after enjoying a meal here. Also, the appetizer plate is an absolute standout and a must-try. read more

Cash or Zelle only! I've never had Vietnamese food beforehand, my gf suggested this place and I said, why not. Amazing food! I had the Bun Combo Shrimp and Lemongrass Pork, my gf had the Pho Tai. Both amazing! The broth alone was delicious and I was slurping it by itself lol I just moved to town and will definitely be back! read more

A first try.... Ordered a Combination Pho Bowl, an order of Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls, Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowl, Chicken on the stick, and another Pho Noodle Bowl. Food tasted alright. Kind of felt like some seasoning or flavor were missing. Sauce for the Spring Rolls had too much Hoisin Sauce and not enough Peanut Butter. The Chicken bowl had plenty of chicken, but also way too much veggies piled on. We didn't get much service besides the initial ordering of our food items and then paying for our check at the end. You also had to pay cash since the restaurant did not accept card payments. read more

I took some coworkers out for lunch and I will say everyone was very pleased with the overall meal. The quality was very good! The service was okay I little slow. The atmosphere was nice very nicely lit from the natural light from the outside. I will say be mindful as Viet Taste doesn't take credit cards and is only Zelle or Cash. Overall, I will say go for the high quality food! read more

Ordered seafood pho and appetizer combo that included Crispy egg rolls, fresh spring rolls, shrimp rangoons, chicken on the stick. My favorite was shrimp rangoons. So creamy and crispy. Just let it cool a little as it's very hot. Seafood pho was on point. I prefer light broth and this hit the spot. Service was excellent and conversation friendly. Going back soon to try more phos. read more

I was on vacation in this area and wanted pho. Found this place that was open late. There was a huge parking lot. The place is huge. I like that there was large tables to accommodate large family gatherings. I ordered spring rolls and they were good but the sauce was not a peanut sauce. I was a little disappointed. My husband ordered a strawberry smoothie that was really good. The pho was really good and portions are generous. They only accepted cash so something to consider. Overall okay experience. read more

First just wanted to shout that this place is CASH ONLY. If I hadn't caught a glimpse at the small sign in the back by the kitchen, I wouldn't have known. I wish there were signs at the door or that the staff informed you before seating. The place is definitely nicer than I expected. It's colorful and vibrant with all the lanterns on display. The menu is pretty easy to navigate as well because it's mostly varieties of pho. The service was straightforward--no chit-chat, nothing personal. Just order, receive food, repeat. Nobody checked in on us either. I had to call the server over for a box and the check. No big deal though. My dad and I ordered some fresh shrimp spring rolls, which were a nice way to start. They are made with rice paper which makes it light and chewy. The shrimp was cooked well, and there were a ton of noodles. The peanut sauce had to be the best part--super flavorful and rich and complimented the freshness of the roll. I don't remember ever trying pho so this was a new experience for me. Most of the pho is traditionally beef broth. However, I ordered the vegan pho with tofu because I don't eat beef. It was pretty bland on first taste but way better with the addition of sriracha and hoisin to dip my vegetables. It was also piping hot which was much-appreciated in the cold winter weather. The rice noodles were lighter than ramen but still quite filling. I wish the veggies were cut smaller because it's a bit difficult to eat with the hot broth. Also some more tofu would've been great. Luckily I had a ton of broth leftover so I can use it to make a semi-homemade chicken noodle soup! read more

It is our second time here and it is an okay experience. First, the food we had the sampler platter for 3 which is a good price at$16 for all the appetizers you get. The most delicious is the shrimp rangoon must try and highly recommend, then the crispy roll which is average and then the soft roll not so of my liking and my least favorite is the skewers very plain. My husband had the seafood pho he said was good. The service was fast and friendly. The place is so cozy, soft music and clean. Only thing is it cash but they have atm inside. Overall must try and good choice in this area. read more

CASH ONLY! There is a sign about a fee-free ATM and Zelle, but bring cash. I haven't been here in a looong time but mom wanted pho and if your mom wants pho but doesn't want to drive to Argyle (do you blame her?), we can come here. Years ago their menu had lots of pan-Asian menus so it was great to see them focusing on pho, noodle plates and bahn mi. Hot, flavorful broth. Fast and friendly service. Lots of seating and space. But remember: CASH ONLY. read more

I have ordered via Uber eats and loved it. Finally stopped in today since i had some time to sit and eat. Had the pork bahn mi and it was $7.50 and one of the best meals I've had in days! Great service and everyone else's food looked amazing read more

this place was good!! i got pho ga as usual & the broth was rich and dark. the chicken was shredded and delicious. the service was pretty nice as well. my only complaint about this place is that it's cash only. they do have an atm apparently, but i've never used it. i did order off of doordash once & the quality was still top notch. they didn't try to skimp you on portions since it was takeout/delivery, which i appreciate. i did try their boba. i think it was the hokkaido if i remember correctly. it was not good, save your money for an actual boba place. the pho is the star of the show here though, and they hit it out of the park. read more

Under new management again but still called Viet Taste. Cash only now. Would help if you had cash only signs that can be clearly seen in the front. I've had bad service before but this was ANNOYING service! Our server proceeded to seat us, provide us menus, and asked us right away if we were ready to order without even having the chance to read a single thing off the menu. The server seemed like this new management did not train him at all. While we were mid bite and our pho bowls were still 3/4 full, he asked if we wanted the bill. Awkwardly, I said no, we are still eating. Then he comes back a few moments later and we still had 1 person eating- to ask again " do you want the bill now?" He didn't ask how our meal was nor offer a box for leftovers. At this point, I was super annoyed, but begrudgingly said yes so he would stop asking. Then after he dropped off the bill he was no where to be found for like 20 minutes to pick the cash up after adamantly trying to give us the bill multiple times!? What? There were just 2-3 tables total in the whole place. We had to flag him down from the other side of the restaurant to pay. In the meantime, he stops at our neighboring table to ask them if they are ready for their bill when they were still waiting to be served their food. Also, when that table was done eating, this same server brought them the bill and stood there staring at the couple while the diner was taking out her cash from her wallet. The diner was even subtly hinting "oh I have to do math" while taking her cash out to tell him to go away! He still stood there staring until all the money was taken out. Food is tasty still but it tastes different than the previous owners. If you want your business to do well, please take the time to train your staff in how to read social dining cues and emotional intelligence. read more

We ordered for takeout. When we got home the dish was missing the pork (the main ingredient) and had peanuts which we requested not to include. Called and they said they would refund us but did not. Totally jokers! Would not order or trust them read more

Warning Hate to write a bad review...CASH ONLY... no sign anywhere..not impress dead decor should have know since I do t see many people dining here during peak hours.service had no uniform or ID to identify them. A guy look at me knot and said you can have a seat anywhere. Came back with a menu drop of off some lady pop up behind me and said "Are you ready to order?" I have not open the menu yet. WHAT THE PHO IS THIS...? Food was ok average..could be worst. Introduce and tell customer ahead of time it cash only... tell customer your special or recommend what best on the menu.. a smile doesn't hurt either. Everyone looked tire and over worked. Not recommend no return.... read more

Sanitary warning. I had lunch there today. Ordered fried chicken wing. The chicken wing came with a metal wire in it. Talked to the server, she replaced it for us. But later when I expressed my concern over the metal wire, she just wanted to walked away. No response from the manager about the incident at all. No apology either. I'm very concerned about the sanitary condition of all other food as well now. read more

I was greeted by the friendly wait staff, upon entering. I waited a short time for my delivery order to come up, and I noticed the ambience of the restaurant was very clean and refreshing... Enjoy Asian cuisine, and I highly recommend the pho bowl pronoun fah. the music was quiet and exciting, there was a lot of conversation at the table, and childre crying and so on, but the music was wonderful, and the bar atmosphere so quiet. the decorations are really nice here as well. Lota of soft red lights. The people work here is super friendly & nice, i received my delivery fast read more

I've come to this spot for Pho for a good while. While it wasn't the best, it certainly filled my cravings for a good bowl of Pho. I came for lunch today and though the flavors were consistent, I was shocked at how little noodles they give. For $13 I expect to be decently filled, but I lifted the noodles out of the bowl and I could've probably eaten all the noodles in one big bite. I thought the noodles were the cheaper part of the meal, yet they skimped out on it so much. What a disappointment!!!!!! read more

Sat down in this restaurant with good hopes that this place lived up to their 4 star rating but was disappointed. As I was waiting for my food, I was reading reviews curious to see how their food looks (I was hungry), I came across a review that stated they had a grill brush wire in their chicken wing. But, I still had high hopes...my food eventually came and as I was chewing my pork chop, there it was; a grill brush wire in my food as well! I brought it to the attention of my server in which he did not apologize for the matter, he continued to explain how it was "from the scrubber they used on the grill"...as if that makes things better. He did remove my dish from my bill however, still no apology was given. Be careful eating here! Wouldn't want a lodged grill brush wire in your throat read more

Looks like the owners have changed over since the last time I was here. Name changed from Pho House to Viet Taste, as well. The pho still has the same great depth of flavor I remember. Tastes like your classic pho with hints of lemongrass and other aromatic spices. I mixed it with hoisin and sriracha and it was perfect. The beef was nice and tender too. For sure one of the better pho places in the north shore. A little disappointed because the prices have been increased. Everything is about $2 more than it used to be. Also, the egg rolls were not as good as before. Next time, I will opt to only get the potstickers as an appetizer. Even with these changes I'll still come back for the pho. The service was impeccable and the food is prepared fast. Usually not a full house either. One more downside is the bathrooms are not especially clean. read more

On the hunt for a new pho place since we are new in the area and this place was pretty good! Very authentic and fresh. I had the pho tai, mango boba, shrimp rolls and the appetizer sampler. My favorite was the pho and the smoothie was very refreshing and definitely fresh mango! The flavor of the pho broth was really nice, that usually is the test to see whether or not it will be good. I will be back to dine in and try other items read more

I like Pho and my daughter normally orders the pork chop kids meal with bubble tea. Cash only with ATM but they do take Zelle payment.

Heading back home from a cold day of shopping on the Magnificent Mile. A bowl of pho or bun is just what one needs. Viet Taste is in a strip mall and the typical Vietnamese style restaurant. We arrived around 8:30. The place was busy, but not packed. They appeared to be under staffed. We were seated right away but took awhile for someone to take our order and longer to get our food. I ordered bun bo hue and my sister had pho. My daughter had chicken fried rice which she really liked. Disclaimer: She likes bland food. The bun bo hue had good flavor but was not spicy at all. My sister liked the pho, but I thought the broth lacked hints of anise and cinnamon. It was okay overall. Slow service but food was acceptable. read more
