Pho Xe Lua - Chicago

TIL Xe Lua train. My friends and I came in here for dinner on a Sunday night. There were plenty of seating available. The Pho and other noodle soups here were good. They range from $8.50+. I tried the #99 chicken brother egg noodles with shrimp, pork, chicken, wonton, and quail eggs. The broth was good and noodles were perfectly cooked. Banh Mi sandwiches are $5. They were a bit light on the ingredients, but were good. Closed on Thursdays. .... , , , , , , ... , ` . ' ` ' . ; ; ; , .. , a . ; . ` ` ' ' ' ' ' . '

This place might be my new go to place in Argyle. It was recommended by my mother in law who knows her Vietnamese food. I ordered pho with beef and tripe and my husband got the bun bo hue, with an order of spring rolls to share. I noticed the spring rolls were much larger than the ones you get at other Vietnamese restaurants. The dipping sauce was a little sweeter than I am used to, and had a hint of coconut. The pho was delicious the broth was perfect. I did notice the portion size was on the smaller end, but the price per bowl $8.50) was also lower than other places in Argyle. We noticed someone at another table got the Pho Dac Biet which has more ingredients, came in a bigger bowl, but costs a bit more at $10. I would definitely try that next time if I had a bigger appetite. My husband enjoyed his bun bo hue, but we both agreed the pho was better. The bun bo hue came with a lot of meat toppings, which he appreciated. I thought it had a bit too much fish sauce. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes. Word on the street is that the pork chop rice is also worth a try.

Got delivery via Ubereats last week, and the food was better than I expected. Only downside is they forgot to give me 1 of 2 egg roll orders that came with the pair. Pho Xe Lua soup was good. Meat and veggies were packed separately. Cha Gio egg rolls didn't get to taste coz only got 1 of 2 orders Grilled pork banh mi decent, but need more pickled veggies and pork is a little lacking in flavor Bun Rieu not as good as pho, but good to at least try. Has a strong fish sauce taste. Overall, I would return. I think it tasted as good as that one most popular pho restaurant in Uptown.

Great place with a big menu! I've enjoyed their different vegetarian options. Their sardine sandwich is also delicious. The Vietnamese mini pancakes are another favorite!

Came here on a hot summer weekend and immediately started pouring the ice water they gave me into my water bottle. They were willing to fill both water bottles and were really nice about it. I ordered the Pho tai with extra noodles so they gave me a large bowl of pho but the noodles weren't enough so I had to order more. The broth was over all really flavorful and had a bit of an herbal kick. The service was okay, had to call them over whenever you needed something but they were pretty attentive as long as you needed them. If they more noodles I may have given this place 4 stars but I have a big appetite and had to ask for two servings of extra noodles. Would I come back? Possibly if I'm not too hungry as the soup was very delicious.
