The longtime family-owned spot serves Chicago's best bowl of pho , but there are a seemingly unlimited amount of finds on the 200-item menu full of soups , noodle dishes , rice , banh mi , and much more. Read more

I don't want to know the nutritional value of a Thai iced tea smoothie . I only want to know how many unicorns gave their lives to make this magical concoction possible.

Thurgood Coats

Loved the tank noodle special and the mango bubble tea ! The appetizer sampler was a great way to start the meal as well . Service suffers due to how the floor is run, but just bring your patience.

Cindy Kurman

Love our waiter . He's the real deal. Sat down next to me while I ordered! Probably wouldn't fly downtown but outside on Argyle, perfect. Ordered the sizzling Crepe , one of my Vietnamese! Delish

Chicago Tribune

Tank Noodle handles the Vietnamese tradition of avocado-as-dessert with characteristic decadence, mixing Haas avocados with sugar and half-and-half to arrive at a lush, pudding-like treat. Read more

Everything is great; #7 appetizer and #40 are our go to’s. Green tea bubble tea ! Always crowded ; inexpensive VN food; Chicago’s best!

Autumn Choi

Only tried their combo pho , which is good. Generous portion , good food, quick service , good English menu. But there was hair in my water.

A big bowl of Tank’s phở is delicious, but the catfish really gets my taste buds going. If I’m feeling really gluttonous, I’ll get the catfish and pork simmered in a clay pot . Read more

PureWow

A brightly lit dining room at Tank Noodle for you to fish up tender pieces of beef brisket from your bowl of steaming Vietnamese pho . Read more

Konrad Stefan

After being spoiled by NYC pho for many years, I thought it would be hard to find anything close but Tank Noodle definitely hits the spot.

Uptown's Argyle Street is also known as Little Saigon and Tank Noodle is the crown jewel for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine , especially the various steaming bowls of pho . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Erika Davis

I usually get pho Thai. Their broth is good, and they give you good portion. I especially like their Vietnamese spring roll with Shrimp !

Brittany Nicole

I have been to many Vietnamese places . However, this is still the very best bowl of pho I can find in Chicago. BYOB also

Scott Knitter

Really liked the #100. Pork chop , egg cake thingy, and rice . All of it delicious. Lime juice and soda drink . $35 paid for dinner for two.

Jack Reid

Had the traditional pho and it was delicious - you get so much food I couldn't finish!

Bobby Kennedy

It's the most popular place on Argyle, but it's also the most consistent. The phở is always on point.

Cynthia Young

All done! Best pho is Chicago... And cafe sua da is mighty strong too!

Czarina

It's always crowded bc their food is great! I always get #43! And their Thai milk tea boba is delicious (easy on the ice though).

gRoOvE

¡Best Phö Ga in the history of life! Get a plum bubble tea too!

Nguyen-Anh Le

Don't fret about which Pho number dish to order. It's like ordering pizza . The base - the key part - is the same. Then you just choose your toppings :)

Spoon University

Bourdain praised their spicy pho , but with over 230 dishes on their menu, Tank Noodle has something for everyone (even those that hate the heat). Read more

David Curiel

I think tank noodles serves some of the best pho in the city ,always great for those cold days or hangovers

Kellen Terrett

This is the place I always return to for pho . Love the seating and overall environment.

Joseph B.

Large menu, but you have to be kind of adventurous. I chose well and had a good meal, would go back.

Jamar McCray

Everything is enough to feed two people.. so go there with the mind state of sharing. Order mutiple dishes!

Dale Jennings

The owner was a part of the superspreader Trump riots in D.C.

The Feast

No need to doll yourself up on a Saturday night for this humble BYOB . Overlook the less than flattering decor and prepare for aromatic beef pho and other Vietnamese specialties.

Clyde Dwyer

Bahn xeo. Amazingly crispy , especially with little bites of crisp pork belly .

Evelyn Taylor

The food is great, but service is slowww! Try the lemon grass chicken on rice and sweet and sour cabbage !! Great!

Amy Robertson

The XL bowl is great to share between two people, but I'm not a fan of the tendon

Erdem Gokturk

good noodle , generous portions , little worn out shop though

Steph Taylor

Best bubble tea in Chicago . Definitely try the matcha green tea flavor .

Christina Bowers

Bun thit nuong comes with very little bun . Also beware of diff between pork (more traditional prep) and beef (a bit dry and seasoned with lemongrass )

Darren Kroenke

Get there early, like 5:30, to avoid the wait. Still worth it though even if you end up in line .

Jack Stull

Delicious green tea , bubble tea . Employee advised us to try it with banana next time:)

Guido Davidzon

Great and authentic Vietnamese food . One Of The best I've been in USA.

Melissa Au

The best Pho in town in my opinion. My go to choice is #40!

Vince Garcia

They play Dj Flipside podcasts here!! Awesome! The pho is good too, but my favorite is the watermelon slush

JJ Kim

Best pho in Chicago. Always packed while other restaurant around are nearly empty. Price is good, food is awesome.

Susan B-K

The pho is delicious, and the sweetie banana cake is perfect for dessert .

Matthew Patterson

Great service and vast menu. Pho is good but they tend too put too many tendons in with the beef

Cedric A.

#43, go with the double order of noodles , 2 spoonfuls of sri racha sauce, and a generous amount of bean sprouts . And a strawberry/pineapple smoothie . Done.

Ryan Pagan

Great place but the vegetarian spring rolls were not that good and the sauce was way too sweet the pho was awesome!!

Evelyn Taylor

The food is great, but service is slowww. Try the lemon grass chicken on rice . Awesome!

James Barath

Everyone knows their Pho rocks. Order a watermelon boba if you desire a super refreshing drink .

Quinn S

The phõ is the best

ISC Chicago

There is almost always a line . Be patient and you will be rewarded. The pho is amazing.

Cristina E

Theres too much sauce on stir fry veggies ! Good coconut bubble tea

Lasantha Ranasinghe

Try the rice dish with grilled pork chop , Chinese sausage and fried egg !!!!!

Andru-Scot Spangler
