Sunset Pho Caffe

Extremely delicious pho and very organic and clean tasting. I chose the chicken 🐔 pho and the cuts of meat were extremely good and generous. I've had pho before that was a bit on the spicier side; but this broth was not made fiery so you can add Chilli paste, Siracha sauce...etc to your liking because the spices are arranged to the side of each table. The Thai iced 🧊 tea however is prepared very very strongly and since I ate at around 4pm I did suffer a bit of insomnia so a warning ⚠️ they use a lot of black tea with a little Thai mix and some milky substance and froth at the top with Boba pearls. It was around $7 and not the way I typically enjoy it but you might love their gourmet bubble tea version of Thai tea. The atmosphere here is very serene and relaxing and you can definitely take your time to enjoy your huge bowl of homemade pho. This is a private, family owned business and each family member works here so they will take good care of you! I will definitely return! This restaurant typically opens at 5pm during the work week but after 3pm on the weekends only.

This review is long overdue. We’ve been to Sunset Pho over 20 times now, and it is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We always order the Sunset Special Pho, the Rare Beef Pho, and the Vietnamese crepe, and they never fail to disappoint. The pho broth is cooked over 22 hours, and the depth of flavor is beyond any that I have had from Pho’s elsewhere. The owner Zel is always very hospitable and even offers shots on the house from time to time. When you walk into the restaurant and see the atmosphere and listen to the music, you feel as if you are walking into someone’s home and are greeted as family. We definitely recommend this place as a go to for Pho in Chicago and the perfect way to support a family business!

Fantastic, family-owned spot on Clark with great options you won't find anywhere else. Huge portions of soup, and many innovative dishes. The owners are great people, and remember all the neighborhood customers by heart. Very welcoming atmosphere with lots of seating options (bar, high top, or intimate tables). I like to try many different small plates to get a sampling of items from each of their home countries. I try to make it every week, or at least a few times a month.

Such a lovely, cute little pho place with really amazing and unique menu items. No shame in saying this was my first time trying pho and it has definitely raised the bar for all other pho places. Amazing portion size, flavorful and absolutely delicious. I still think the star of our meal was the Cevapcici spring rolls. Loved the service. The owner is such a nice person and took his time to explain everything to us.
