Pho Noodle House - East Peoria

I use to love this place. Just spent 39 dollars for 2 pho bowls and it was terrible. The chicken tasted like it was prepared with Italian seasoning and was not fresh. Food wasn’t good and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The portions have gone down and the prices are up. I’m sad this place has gone down hill so far.

Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten-free Kid-friendliness: They don't have much of a children's menu, but my child likes pho, and they do have a kids size for that. Drinks are put in boba cups with a good seal.

Good but not great . But why is the place always changing.

Very slow service, seemingly from low staff. There was a guy behind a bar but there were no seats or people at the bar, it's very odd. The place is like a U but upside down. You come in on one start of the U then wait to sit where I took the picture. Then you walk around the sinks, which is an odd thing to say, and behind them to the other side of the U to the dining area. Food flavor was ok, but small serving of meat when you pay $18 for pho. Very underwhelming. They also served cilantro on the side, don't quite understand that as it should be Thai basil, not Italian or sweet basil. If you don't mind waiting a while for seating, ordering, check and paying extra for pho then it's worth a shot.

This place used to be one of my favorites, but I wouldn’t recommend coming here anymore. There were bathroom sinks in the eating area, the bar was cluttered with trash, and the staff deserves an award for slowest in Peoria. The service and cleanliness needs to change before I consider coming back, I think if they could get it together and hire more servers it would fix the issue.
