Phở Năm Lúa - Menu

My favorite viet spot on the north side. Very clean and friendly. The bun bo hue is amazing and it’s a good price.

Super delicious had the crab and shrimp combo and an order of hush puppies and it was amazing. Our friends also ordered the oysters and enjoyed them. Staff were so sweet. Will definitely be back.

This is a very welcoming, family-owned restaurant that serves generous portions and offers several vegan options. It's been recommended by Steve Dolinsky, which guarantees its quality! The photo showcases the "Vegetarian Soup." Overall, I give the food a rating of 5 out of 5. View menu

They've changed! Perhaps there's a new chef? We've been loyal customers since they opened and never considered going anywhere else for pho because their broth was exceptional and the portions were generous. However, our recent visits have all been disappointing, with dishes being overly salty, noodles overcooked, and the service lacking. It's really sad, but now we need to look for a new place.

Pho 5 Lua is a true hidden gem in Chicago, serving unforgettable Vietnamese cuisine. Their pho stands out with its rich, aromatic broth and perfectly cooked meats. The menu also includes tasty spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches. With a cozy atmosphere and attentive service, it creates a delightful dining experience. The reasonable prices make it a must-visit for anyone who loves Vietnamese food. Be sure to experience the authentic flavors of Pho 5 Lua during your time in Chicago.

Their PHO is good and fresh especially Pho Ga (chicken). Bun BO Hue (spicy Hue style noodle) is awesomely good. I also love their ice coffee, however I dnt think it’s made to order but probably pre dripped.We’ve been coming here at least twice a month for years and love them. The friendly, enthusiastic waitress Trang is always happy to greet customers. The only complaint I have after Covid is that they do NOT give water of any kinds. You have to buy their bottle waters for $1/each which is not expensive at all but water is not something I want to pay at a restaurant. View menu

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the pho dac biet. The broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the generous portions of beef, tripe, and tendon were also expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the ample side of fresh herbs and bean sprouts that accompanied the dish, adding an extra layer of freshness and flavor. In addition to the fantastic food, the ambiance at Pho Nam Lau was wonderful. The decor and layout of the restaurant made me feel as if I were transported back to Vietnam, complete with traditional artwork and seating arrangements. Overall, I highly recommend Pho Nam Lau for their delicious pho and ex...

Yesterday, I ordered my usual coffee, excited for the enjoyable experience I remembered. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm waned quickly when I received a cup overflowing with ice, resulting in only half a cup of actual coffee. I finished it in just three gulps, feeling unsatisfied and questioning the value of my purchase. Wanting to give Phở Năm Lúa another chance, I returned today and specifically requested less ice. Sadly, their response was disappointing; they served me a cup with barely half the desired amount. When I politely asked for it to be topped up, my request was denied, making me feel ignored and unvalued as a customer. These ongoing issues with coffee service have led me to belie...

My family and I have been coming for years but recently the experience left much to be desired.We arrived lunch time during full house which was exciting for us to see. We sat down only to be left alone for 12 minutes waiting for a waitress or waiter to come take our order. Even the table who came after us ended up ordering and then receiving their food before us.When we received our first dish the spring rolls, they looked tasty but was not filled with much of anything as we expected herbs and such. The wrapper was also tough seemingly left in the fridge.Our Pho came out and we were happy to see the quantity of food even though it was a small. The broth itself was much sweeter than what we...
