Summer - Elmhurst

Highly recommend: great tasting and filling food for the price. I can get a full meal and a half for only about $14 dollars when I get the Classic Vietnamese Sando Popcorn Chicken.Summer has been one of my favorite go-to 's since I 've moved to the area. I recommended this place to another friend who moved here and she 's also obsessed lol.I 've tried quite a few other dishes on the menu, including the Mala, the ramen (not actually ramen, but it 's really good noodle soup), fried milk sticks, etc and almost all of them are delicious. There is one that I absolutely hate though: the Classic Iced Rice. Trust me on this one, the extra dollar for the Milk Tea Iced Rice is soo worth it. I very rarely trash food but the Classic Iced Rice was too sweet and extremely artificial tasting in a way that truly can not be salvaged. The milk tea one though is amazing and the perfect summer dessert.

I love this place. I think i order from them at least once a week. Banh mi are delicious. Ingredients are really good. Drinks are yummy as well.

Ordered the 'Stewed Beef Tendon Ramen ' and Spring Rolls through GrubHub. Much to my surprise, the ramen, soup and rolls arrived piping hot, which doesn 't usually happen. The ramen noodle soup included chunks if beef nubs, greens and a medium fried egg. FYI if you are like me and have the cilantro tastes like soap gene, make sure you ask to hold the cilantro. I didn 't know it came with it until I got a chunk of cilantro in my noodles :

Bahn Mi was good but not amazing. Good proportions, not too sweet, not too salty. The pork was a little dry/overcooked but the chicken over rice was really tender! I asked for Thai bubble tea with 30% sugar and it was perfect! Bubbles are on the softer side but it was delicious. Great place to hit your cravings for Vietnamese food

The signature spicy noodle soup is my go to meal when I'm craving something soupy. I usually get the double fatty beef and the bowl is empty within minutes. The beef stew noodle soup is also very good if you want something more rich in soup and thicker noodles.
