South Viet — Restaurant in Homer Glen

I'm began refeeding tonight and needed a broth to get started. Pho was highly recommended. I work in Joliet so I searched for a restaurant in the area and chose South Viet. Because I'm still on liquids, I only wanted the broth. The person who took my order suggested the vegetable Pho (I ordered 2) mentioning the meatballs were mushroom based. So I said okay, I won't eat them just add them for more flavor. With that all said, I was A BIT disappointed to find that I had been "shortchanged" the part of the order I needed the most... THE BROTH. I mentioned I thought the containers should have been filled with more but she did not address it. Instead she talked about other vegetarian offerings on the menu. She did ask me if this was my first time ordering from there... it was... and may be my last time... I have yet to drink the Pho, so I can't say if I'm glad the container wasn't properly filled🫤 I would have loved to have posted the...

We were looking to get a bowl of pho and came across this little shop.

First, this is a small and intimate restaurant. Nicely decorated with photos from Vietnam. The owner was super welcoming and she said everything was made from scratch. She checked on us every once and awhile and even refilled out waters.

We ordered a few things on the menu: pho with Brisket and steak, pho with steak and Meatballs, pate chaud, and banh mi with chicken. All the dishes were super delicious. The broth of the pho was soothing, the pate chard is a good bang for your buck and banh mi was perfect!

We also ordered Vietnamese coffee and Vietnamese lemonade. The lemonade was refreshing and the coffee was strong, just how I like it.

Highly recommend this place and to give it try, especially if you're a fan of Vietnamese food or just trying out new...

My experience was decent. The service was great, food came out quickly and the server was super nice and super respectful. The atmosphere was alright as I don’t think this restaurant can fit a lot of people. Only problem with this place is food. As I look at all these 5 star reviews I don’t think I can agree. The food didn’t taste fresh as it just felt pre cooked especially the egg rolls. And the pork chop was just dry but it did have good flavor. The crepe otherwise called the Vietnamese pancake, was super soggy. Should be crispy and the bean sprouts and shrimp were also soggy. Just everything about it was soggy. But otherwise service was amazing but ultimately food...
