Viet Taste - Norridge

Such good Pho! Usually get something closer in the city but my boyfriend is a big fan of their Banh Mis but this place beats a lot of the places in the city and I was pleasantly surprised with how much tendon and tripe was in my pho. So tasty and you can’t beat the price Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great food, I travel over 20 minutes to get here so it's really worth it.I always order something different to expand my palette and learn. I love getting Thai iced coffee (it's deep and creamy, so good), the smoothies, pho, and banh mi.Food: 5/5

First time trying Pho and let me just say, it was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. I most definitely will be coming back. Only downside is they only accept cash which I never carry but good thing they have an ATM so no biggie! Ooooo and their bubble tea is to die for!!! Its so tasty and yummy!Food: 5/5

Delicious pho! The spring rolls were a great appetizer, and Thai tea with boba made a great dessert. All at a reasonable price. Be prepared with cash, a debit card, or more recently, a Zelle account!

I got off of work and had some time before my meeting at 6. I was in the area of Viet Taste. I have drove past this establishment many times and said to myself that I would stop in one day to try their pho and Banh mi sandwich. Today was the day to stop in.When I go out to a place that serves pho I try to see if they also have Bành mi sandwich. This way I can try each establishments version of the sandwich.Decor of the restaurant was nice. Open seating area and table are close together. It's smaller size restaurant, but the ceiling is very tall so gives a feeling as not to crammed. I was there after 2pm so the dining area was open and not crowded at all. It was pretty clean when I stopped in.Service was very quick for the pho, when I was in it was less than 5mins before I received my order of pho and side vegetables. Everything looked fresh. Staff was masked and polite.Quality of the food was very good. As I stated before the vegetables were fresh looking and tasted fresh once I added and taste the pho. I like to taste the broth before I added any additional ingredients. The broth was very good, you could taste the spices that is in a typical pho and very tasteful. I always get the same pho that has tendon,tripe, meatballs, thin sliced steak. The proportions were generous. Tripe was cut nice and thin enough to manage( some places cut too thick and you can tell over cooked by time eat). Tendon was cooked perfect too, soft and melted in mouth and filled with the flavors from everything I added and the original broth. I was a filling bowl of pho. I was doubtful that it would fill my up because of the size of the bowl, but with all the noodles and meats, It was very filling.The Banh Mi sandwich looked very good too. Presentation of the sandwich was very well done. I was so full from the pho that I had to take it to go. I did have it after my meeting. It was cold so I can't rate it as best as I would like. I definitely would have liked it better warm also, but gotta rate it as if it was warm. I had the bbq pork. Have very nice thick cut of the pork. It taste good, but better if was warm. Only thing is that this sandwich was more sweet for my own taste. So if you like sweeter bbg pork then this is perfect for you. The pickled carrots and radish was more on the sweet side for me also. I prefer more sour versio.Would I recommend this place? Yes I would recommend anyone to give it a try if in the area. The pho when I had it was very good! Banh Mi like said not my style, but I still recommend give if a try. My only concern is that this place is located near the shopping center and in a strip mall so parking could get tight. Also lucky for me I had cash on me or else I may have run into some issues. Note this place is a cash only establishment so that is the only downfall or negative thing I have to say about place. I most likely will return if in area again.
