We had the curry chicken noodle soup late on a weeknight (they closed at 9pm) for $16.95. The food came out fast. The soup had a very small handful of rice vermicelli noodles, 3 pieces of steam cooked taro, cilantro, dark meat mixed w fatty curry chicken, coconut milk, onions, and scallions. The food was good … just a very thick pasty curry taste and not much other flavors bc it seemed they cooked it so fast (which is why the food came out in 10-15 min) and didn’t allow for the flavors from onion, cilantro, and scallions to sink in? The taro pieces were well done and good. The standard side dish of mint leaves and jalapeño pepper and lime wedge and cabbage slices (cabbage isn’t so typical as it’s usually sprouts?) Were fresh. There was a group of customers who came around 10 min before closing but they still Allowed them to order from the kitchen…which is very kind for customers bc when you have a craving you want the food. Overall a great place for food you don’t have to wait long for. I heard the pho is good here so I will come back next time.
My family and I came here for lunch after doing our grocery shopping. We wanted a traditional Vietnamese family meal. The caramelized cat fish and hot and sour soup was amazing.

A trip to Chicago is not complete without a trip to our pho place. We've tried many places around this area and this places does it right. Large place. Pho is good.
The staff is a little low on English but the owner is good with English.
Highly Recommended.
Fast service and great food! We ordered the Bun Bo Hue/No. 93 Tank’s Traditional Hue Spicy Lemongrass Beef Noodle Soup & the Grilled Pork Steak & Steamed Pork Cake.
Both portions were large and delicious!
Spent 2 weeks in Vietnam and Now I can't get the food off my mind. This place has been authentic and lauded by locals for a while now and it doesn't surprise me that they pay close attention to the needs of their customers. Gigantic menu, vegetarian options, noodles, rice, sandwiches, Huge bowls of Pho and Bunh, all the fixings at your table, staff is brusque but friendly and they're interested in getting your order right the first time. Very filling, the entrées are designed to be large and satisfying, so come hungry. They allow customization on the orders, even got me some extra sausage for my noodles, Cold dishes are popular in the summer and hot dishes reign supreme in the winter. Obviously the prices aren't what they are like in HCMC, but the quality is there. Highly recommend if you're craving variety and flavor. 😁
It was really good service, and the phó was full of flavor. We tried the beef phó and the fried shrimp. It's really good. Will definitely be back.
They have avocado smoothies and plenty .ore fruits to choose from.
Their menu has plenty of variety
Although I wish I would have tried the Pho, which they are known for, the fried rice was delicious. Friendly staff and great customer service.
The food was good but It was not as delicious as what it did in Vietnam. It's was closed
The service was very nice and friendly.
I enjoy the atmosphere around the restaurant.
It was a good place to hang out and have a meal with friends, especially for someone who want to introduce Asian's cuisine to foreigners.
Great pho shop with friendly and fast service. This restaurant is located right on the corner of the main street with plenty of patio seating. The spring rolls and pho were both delicious. We were seated immediately on a weekday evening and had great service. Looking forward to our next visit!
My best pho in town. They are always popular no matter when you go, always packed with customers.
I love their pho especially, full of ingredients and tasty. A Five star rating worths Their quality!

I love dining here. Everything was delicious. I've been craving the milk coffee ever since.
I had an excellent experience here. This restaurant opened recently on Irving Park near 6 corners, and I was excited to try it. Tank’s pho and fried rice are the best I have ever had. Both were flavorful and well-seasoned. Nice, big portions. I ordered the extra large bowl of pho, and that included all of the protein options. The fried rice was fluffy and had big, fresh pieces of shrimp, chicken and pork. The entire staff was very friendly and engaging, and everything we ordered was delicious. They offer boba drinks as well as tropical drinks, which were both extremely well made. I haven’t had a tropical drink that good since my last vacation. Their drink options are extensive. Well-priced, convenient location and excellent, authentic dishes and friendly service! I will be back!
I only tried the pho here. The broth was robust- beefy and flavourful. The portion is generous both in the noodles and the beef slices.
As with most pho, there was a side of raw bean sprouts, basil and a slice of lime to enhance the soup.
A very satisfying bowl of noodles. I would recommend it for sure.
Very good food quiet atmosphere even when packed ample indoor/outdoor seating.
However, most staff can barley speak english very thick accents make explanations hard to understand.
The drink menu is very generic and is the only think remotely lacking on the menu.
Stay for the food, live for the atmosphere.
Yummy, so much to choose from. Ambiance is average but the food is good and so is the service. We had the Saigon crepe which was wonderful. Enjoyed the spring rolls and papaya salad, but they put pork in most of there dishes so be sure to read the menu through.
Pho was so flavourful! A perfect Vietnamese traditional dish to have on a winter evening in Chicago 😊The menu is extensive.
(P/s better pics of Pho to come)
There's a reason why we eat at Tank Noodles every time we come to Vietnamese Town in Chicago. Food is great. Our waiter brought out our appetizers well before our pho noodles and rice dishes, which is awesome, because not a lot of Asian restaurants do this. The food not only looked good, but it tasted great. Was also our first time trying the Vietnamese crepe, it will not be the last time either.
