The flavor of the broth was very good and there was a generous amount of meat in the bowl. One unique aspect was that they did not provide a plate of additional garnishes; instead, they included basil and bean sprouts in the soup. I typically like to crush my basil, but they included whole leaves in the bowl. The amount of bean sprouts was also less than what I am used to, and I usually enjoy having more. I was disappointed that there was no lime or jalapeno provided, but they did include more red onion than usual. I requested hot chili oil, which was different from what I have had before - milder and possibly fermented. Overall, the PHO was not a home run for me, but I appreciated their unique take on the dish and found it to be quite tasty.

I didn't realize that service could be so bad to the point where servers are demanding you to order immediately! I will definitely not be dining in here again. I might consider getting takeout if I'm really hungry and this is the only option nearby. The poor service really detracts from the overall dining experience. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you don't want to be yelled at while trying to ask about the menu.

The quality is still similar to how it was back then, and is generally average. I usually order the taro or caramel milk teas, which are always a safe choice. However, I did notice that the prices have increased significantly (mine was around $7). I would say it's fine to visit if you happen to be in the area, but there are now many other places in Naperville that offer similar quality at a better price, so this wouldn't be my top choice.
