My friend and I came here after tennis to get some bubble tea. It was probably the first and last time unfortunately. Service wasn’t that great(I would have understood if it was busy but there was barely anyone there at the time) and food & bubble tea was just okay.

I visit this place regularly because it is the only Phở place near where I live. Noodles and service is average. I consistently order Japanese tofu, which is a hit or miss. Last two times were burnt and soggy. Smoothies are decent. I like that it is usually not busy.

One of my favorite places in Bolingbrook. Love it. Food fresh and delicious. I think they could use a little help as they don’t have many servers. But worth any wait.

I don’t normally say anything about restaurants. 2 weeks ago I visited noodles phở u. What v bothered me was the service. As a black man I always have my guards up, some people are just nervous around african American men. since I was underwhelmed with the fat stir fried noodles. I would just say …“do better«.

Nice place clean friendly and affordable prices… I reccommend the seafood tom yum … Delicious … You can easily share it with smbdy … Perfect for 2 … Its amazing … At least once a week I stop by for a tom yom … Small but very comfy.

This place is a hit or miss. Every time you stop by you just hope today the cook will be in a decent enough mood to make the food right. I cannot count on how many occasions I’ve had my meal messed up. I typically order the standard phở and sometimes I’m satisfied but most times im left wanting. Don’t get me started on the smoothies. Didn’t realize something so expensive can be made so mediocre. I guess I’ve been burned too much by the restaurant to give a decent review. I came here cause I love phở and this place is the closet to my house. So out of convenience I settled. But after the last spicy coconut shrimp I’m through with this place. Do yourself a favor and make the trip to a more quality place or just don’t go at all.

Excellent, authentic Phở. My husband likes spicy Kung pao and is rarely satisfied and he loved that dish here. The bubble tea here is some of the best we’ve had, the bubbles are light and extra tasty!

came to this place as me and my fiancée try to find a good restaurant to eat at new years after we watched movies. and we decided to go to this place as we saw it at Unilocal and since I like vietnamese food I told her that we can go eat at this place. we came and it was very cold. we were seated immediatley and waited long for the server to come to us. I orderded the regular beef phở and my fiancée ordered the bun thit noung. the phở is just average flavor and taste aren’t just there. portion size is not big enough for the price that they were asking. more like half size than the ones I get in different vietnamese restaurant. but atleast it had good meat in it. and for the bun thit noung. I was not a big fan at all. noodles is cold and it has a bitter after taste in it. maybe it was the old lettuce or the meat. but the sauce was good. but dissapointed because if you ask for extra sauce they charge you for it. and after we finished eating. I think it took us 30mins to wait for our check to come. I gave three stars because I love vietnamese cuisine as I love filipino food. so I hope they can fix the issue here. until I come back next time.

Good lunch spot. The Phở looked great. Will have to try next time. Great variety on menu.

While the décor is reminiscent of a nail salon-Pergo flooring, furniture that is clearly of Southeast Asian origin, battered plastic water glasses-this place is a gem. It offers the most authentic phở that I’ve had since I ate my way through Ho Chi Minh City in ’02. The service is fast and friendly, and the bowl of phở is voluminous to the point of being a caricature of American portions, i.e. you wont leave hungry. BTW, I would advise anyone who isn’t a fan of tripe to order Phở #122 versus #121. Also, it’s pretty cheap, and I like the fact that the use of technology is alive and well-you sign your receipt on a tablet.

Pretty good — service was excellent, food was okay. I called my order ahead so it would be ready upon arrival to dine in. Glad the host did not think that was weird or out of the norm — most places won’t do that. The portions are hefty, but the food is overly seasoned. My fried noodles were drenched in sauce — a bit too much salt and too overwhelming. I would rec’ you say easy sauce, easy everything. I’m sure they can do anything you ask. Other than that, I was in the area so I’m not sure what else is around, but would be great for big groups and fast take-out.

I was really hesitant about ordering here but decided to do it anyway. The results were pretty dang good! My first order was #504 Coconut Spicy Chicken, it was delicious not too spicy and not too sweet. Served hot and fresh. However I didn’t like the stir fried rice it was too greasy. The egg roll was amazing, it was also hot and fresh. I also received 2 free cran Rangoon with my order. My second order I got the #1103 Singapore Rice Noodle, oh my this was so freaking delicious! My husband won’t eat anything curry, until he tried this dish, now that’s what he orders from here. The crab Rangoon is great, I now order my #504 with steamed rice instead if the fried rice but it’s still delicious. I tried the #001 Fresh Summer Rolls, I can’t say I’m a fan. They are bland and not on my list to reorder. I also had the delicious lychee smoothie with taro pudding, YUM and he hubs has the usual mango smoothie. I think this place is great, portions are decent and prices are reasonable as well. Food always arrives fresh and hot!

Used to order from this place when they were still Bok Choy, and needless to say the quality hasn’t changed at all. Noodles Phở U is fast and offers superior quality cuisine. This is my go-to place for Chinese food as well. I’ve never eaten in-store, so I can’t speak for them in that sense, but their take-out process is incredibly efficient and they never fail to provide the highest quality Asian cuisine. If you are a fan of Chinese or Vietnamese cuisine and want a no-bullshit, high quality answer, Noodles Phở U is the answer.

One of my go-to spots for take out. Let me tell you their food is QUALITY Asian food — better than joyees. I apologize for throwing them under the bus — but hey this is just my personal opinion. I love how they offer brown rice option! I’m all about the healthy lifestyle — and am so happy with this restaurant. My go to orders are– Phở Combinational seafood noodle bowl with egg noodle Shrimp Spring Roll Beef cube over tomato brown rice Baked teriyaki chicken over brown rice SUPERAWESOME! What are you waiting for? Place your order now! :-)

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety this place has to offer. My bf and I decided to try them as the first place for Chinese in the area. I’m extremely picky about my Chinese food and rarely go anywhere except Yu’s Mandarin in Schaumburg. I prefer Mandarin Chinese food and I’m pretty leary about trying anything else. That being said, I was very happy with the food we received. I got a small combination fried rice and a chicken & Chinese broccoli. The portions are good imo considering each could easily be two portions and they were only $ 6 each. I know fried rice is pretty hard to screw up but I’ve been to places that did. Their’s had a good bit of meat in it and good flavor. The chicken and Chinese broccoli was very nice and contained tons of broccoli. The sauce was a bit thin but had enough flavor that I didn’t care. The side of rice was nice and sticky as well. My bf got a large pineapple, shrimp and chicken fried rice and was very happy with it! I tried a bite of it and thought it was good but didn’t have more than that since I had so much food myself. His portion was really big for $ 8. He’s less critical of food so that’s all there is to say about his dish. Lol We also got an order of pork egg rolls which I found to be great. Other reviews said they were just ok but I think they were about as good as one can get. I was happy to see they don’t use spring roll paper for theirs. One thing I was a bit bothered by was that they didn’t provide any soy sauce or sweet & sour sauce with the food! I find that to be really odd. I don’t think you should have to ask for that when ordering take-out. So make sure you ask for it if you’re ordering to-go/delivery. My bf got a strawberry bubble tea and I got a Thai iced tea. His was good but there was very little ice in it(it was basically all melted within a few minutes) so it wasn’t very cold. Mine was ok and had plenty of ice. I think I’ll try a bubble tea next time as I don’t see myself craving another Thai tea anytime soon. All-in-all, I’ll definitely go back. We ordered take out and it took 15 mins to get the food and it was piping hot when we got home. I love knowing we have this place right around the corner and that they deliver too. The décor inside was nice and clean so I’ll happily dine in at some point too.

Decided to come back here a second time. 20 minutes for our food and there was only one other party there — not to mention they didn’t clean their utensils very well and kept chatting with people in the back instead of coming and checking to see if we needed more water or if we needed to bill. Stayed there for 30 minutes longer than we even needed to. The food overall was okay but as I said in my previous review, the Naperville location is far better in every aspect. We gave them a second chance and it was even worse than the first. Will not be back.

This place is wonderful. Quick service and open till late at night. There is ample parking although the location looks a little run down. You can also make special requests like making dishes less/more spicy or more/less/no salt because everything is made fresh. I have recommended them to all my friends and clients and we have most of our company meetings and parties catered by them.

There hasn’t been an item I’ve had here that I don’t like, but the real win here is that I fiend for it daily and still feel light even after smashing on a large meal. This place is Aces in my book and keeps my pocket happy. I’ll be back again this week, and the following…

My friends and family wanted to meet up for an early dinner and most of them were in this area. We decided to come to this Noodles Phở U location because we all tried the other locations so we expect the same food and service. The location is off a strip mall and there was plenty of parking. When we came in, it is a bigger dining area than the one in Lombard. The place is colorful and roomy, we were seated right away. We had a party of 12 adults and kids and ordered our drinks first. The staff was friendly and we were able to have four separate checks kewl. However, after we placed our order both our drinks and our food the service was very slow like molasses slow! I felt like they only had two people taking care of the whole restaurant. There was even a family of four that came and sat down and was not even greeted after 10 minutes that they ended up leaving. I ordered the salt and pepper fried smelt fish dinner with brown rice which was extra on the side. And hubby ordered the beef Korean bipbimbop hot bowl dinner. For appetizer be ordered fresh spring rolls with shrimp and pork with peanut dipping sauce. I wish they would at least cut the spring rolls in half so we would have four pieces instead of two huge ones. The food was good as expected. However, we ordered Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee. The Thai ice tea was not as sweet as expected. And they did not have a Thai iced coffee but Vietnamese coffee which tasted like watered down espresso coffee taste with condensed milk. It was very bitter with overly sweet flavor. All our dreams was served in a plastic to go cup instead of a glass cup. The rest of the folks who ordered their drinks ended up getting them at the middle to end of their meal, I know it takes time to make these specialty bubble tea drinks but really that’s unacceptable. The amount of food you receive is plenty that we were able to bag half of it home. The service again was very slow like molasses so if you are on a tight schedule or don’t want to sit in a restaurant for more than two hours, then I would recommend to go someplace else. We were not in a rush today, however I felt like the customer service was lacking a bit today. When you see a family with kids that comes into an establishment and doesn’t even get menus and have their drinks ordered by 10 minutes, I would be mad and leave too. My recommendation is if you don’t mind hanging out and catching up, then this is a place to go because the food is still good. I would only come back here if I was in the area because of the food. But only if my friends and family were not in a rush to go somewhere afterwards and want to hang out for a while.
