Reviews

What Clients Say

I don’t usually go out of my way to write restaurant reviews, but Viet Taste deserves every bit of praise it gets. Hands down, this is the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had in Illinois. I live a good distance away, yet I still make the drive just to eat here because nothing else compares. That should tell you how worth it this place is. The flavors at Viet Taste are authentic, fresh, and prepared with a level of care that really sets them apart from other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Every dish I’ve tried has been consistent, from the perfectly balanced broths to the freshness of the herbs and the quality of the meats. You can tell the cook here not only knows what they’re doing, but also takes pride in every plate that comes out of the kitchen. I should note that the same owner runs King Pho, which is much closer to me. For convenience, I’ve given it a fair shot a few times, but the difference in food quality is night and day. While King Pho is decent, Viet Taste clearly has the better cook, and once you taste the difference, it’s impossible to go back. I’ve made up my mind that Viet Taste will always be my go-to, even if it means a longer drive. The restaurant itself is comfortable, casual, and welcoming. Service has always been friendly and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions you get, which makes the drive feel even more worth it. If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Illinois, Viet Taste is the only name I’d recommend. It’s that good, and it’s spoiled me to the point where I can’t go anywhere else. Truly a gem.

Our go to spot for Pho! Great pho, good drinks, and cool employees. Never really seen it slow and that's for good reason. Not too small as well. Good size. FYI, Cash only!

We saw this restaurant while going shopping around the area, so we stopped by for a try. There are many choices for foods there. They also have many kinds of smoothies. The staff is friendly and foods of course is delicious. The only inconvenience is they only take cash, but there is ATM there. So you do not need to go to the bank for cash. Give it a try when you are around the area

After two years of coming here, Viet Taste is still our favorite pho restaurant! Every time we come here, their pho hits the spot!! Hot and flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, a generous amount of steak/beef balls, and a side of bean sprouts and sliced onions upon request. Their chili oil is homemade and very tasty. They are very generous with their portions and once you’re finished your meal, end off with one of their yummy fruit slushie bobas — we like their strawberry and their kiwi slushies, made with fresh fruit. Shout out to Z for being the best server ever! She knows our orders and always takes good care of us. We are customers for life :)

Delicious Pork Bánh Mhì. The bread was very soft and flavorful. Beef Combo Pho was also very good. Staff was very friendly. Cash only, but they have a fee-free ATM.
