Tried the pork belly bao and the pho and it was really good. I love pho and I will definitely be back!
The service was okay until the manager stepped in. That’s twice now he’s been rude and insulting. We come here weekly and understand that not every time can be a home run but there are just too many good options nowadays to come back and gamble on what mistakes will be made with our orders then have to argue about it with the manager. That’s twice now and that’s one time too many. We won’t be returning again. My advice? Try Pho VN. To the manager: no, no. We did not mix up each other’s food. You gave us 2 incredibly similar-looking containers of broth for our pho carry-out: one seafood and one beef. Both were unmarked so we poured the seafood broth in the beef pho. I actually wanted my food remade, but you were condescending and rude to me. Just like you’re being in your response here. THAT is the problem. You’re very lucky I’m not allergic to seafood, by the way.
Fresh and loads of taste. Always superior foods and service.
Not at all pretentious. Just pretty good food. Vegetarian options: Good for vegetarians and omnivores.
Legit deserves a Michelin star. I am shocked how this place flies under the radar. The pork belly bao and the banh mi are amazing and I don't know anywhere else in Indy you find this kind of flavor at this price. The vietnamese coffee is unbelievably good. The music is always good, the staff is friendly, the eating and drinking are excellent. Wish I could give 6 stars
I personally did not think the food was good. For $60 I'd rather go to a more authentic restaurant like pho21 Vegetarian options: Tofu Dietary restrictions: Can be made vegan if you ask
We love fusion street foods and most of our family loves pho. Chao did not disappoint. But more than that, they wowed. This is a place we will go out very far out of our way to eat at. This may even be a place that becomes destination dining for our family who live over an hour away. Relaxed and easy going dining area with wonderful service. The waiter was very nice and helpful. He went out of his way to provide great service. It took us longer to decide than for the food to come out. The Chao fries and tacos were amazing. We wouldn't have ordered either of them if it wasn't for other reviews. The dishes are fantastic and the fries were properly cooked and my teenage son described the tacos as perfect. The surprise to me was the pho. I don't love pho in general. Though I've never had a bad bowl anywhere, I would never order it for myself. Until now. The flavor was amazing. So much so that I would go back to get their pho. Another standout was the coconut bubble waffle. I enjoyed it plain but it was divine with fruit and ice cream and whipped cream. Not cheap, but it is large and delicious. Definitely worth it to split on special occasions or as your meal. We tried more items than this as we didn't know if we'd ever make it back to the area. It was all very good.
Chao Vietnamese restaurant the Epitome of Excellence! Flavorful food and the authenticity is what sets them apart. And the Bubble Waffle is Out of this World! Great place for a quick bite or quick stop to explore Cultural Foods. Highly recommend!
Amazing place to feel satisfied without feeling like utter garbage after. The options for healthy meals are abound and DELICIOUS. Staff has always been super friendly and quick!
