Luong Loi

Came in for lunch based on Unilocal and other reviews. Ordered lunch combo. About 30 min into lunch started feeling so weird, dizzying, bizarre head ache — then just «buzzy», could barely converse with my sister at the table. Soon realized I must have had a reaction to a huge amount of MSG in the food. I often get Chinese carry out near my home — have never felt this before except over 10 years ago at another Chinese place. No more Luong Loi for me! I would advise people to definitely request no msg and even with that — the food was not even that tasty to begin with. Not sure what all the hype is about!

I’ve been to the old location many times before. Just the other day I visited the new location and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very nice upgrade. New modern atmosphere with exposed brick and cool ceiling. It is airy and bright in there.
I ordered #19 the beef noodle soup, of course, and the egg rolls. I’ve loved the egg rolls for years, they’re super crisp and the carrot dressing on the side adds a nice sweetness. Their egg rolls are a perfect appetizer while waiting for the soup. The beef noodle soup was so good. I feel like the portion size got bigger (??). The broth is very clean tasting compared to other phở restaurants. There is very little fat/​oil on top as that part is skimmed off. The portion of veggies they give you was perfect for the size of the soup.
The service was great as well. We got seated right away and waiter was very polite. The grandpa who would pour the water was very cute as well.
Overall, well done Luong Loi on moving locations. I love it and will definitely be returning.

Wow! This place is very affordable (Phở is $ 8 – 9), and has great food. The spring rolls are a good appetizer, and the phở (both the special and the regular) have good amounts of meat and delicious taste. Just writing this review is making my mouth water.
I like how they have a variety of dishes on their menu, from phở to fried rice, to other Chinese dishes. Selection is good.
Service is friendly, and the place has a nice atmosphere. I would not recommend the shrimp toast as an appetizer, and it seems to be basically just fried dough balls (was there even shrimp in it??).

love this restaurant. The best Canh Chua Ca kho to and Ca Hong chien. We come here almost every week to this restaurant.

After moving from across the street and updates to everything. They have successfully created a great new and vibrent Vietnamese restaurant. Come enjoy.

yo yo yo yo yo salt and pepper shrimp all day
man that stuff is FIRE (not like in spice level, rather in taste level)
cool little family-​run spot. got a nice south east asian spread (mostly chinese and viet)
fried rice? bomb
home made chili paste sauce/​topping? bomb
byob? bomb
aforementioned salt and pepper shrimp? bomb
these guys got the goods

This place has only gotten better since moving across the street. Same great food, even more beautiful setting for the good food! if you like Vietnamese food, this is a place you must visit. The Phở is phenomenal. Really friendly, family-​owned and operated restaurant — what’s not to like???

Lunch special daily until 2:30 for only $ 8 comes with egg drop soup, egg roll, veggie fried rice, and a stir fry/​meat dish of your choice. I got the shrimp and broccoli option and it was a bit too salty for my liking. The egg drop soup and egg roll was really yummy but the fried rice was a bit dry and too salty. I love their Vietnamese iced coffee here so definitely get that if you need some caffeine in your system.
The rice platter w/​the pork and a fried egg on top is a favorite among my friends and I. It is super filling and worth the price (~$ 11). The phở is okay, nothing spectacular but it gets the job done if you are hungover.
Service is great and the price is reasonable. Parking is easy and free around the area.

I love this place! Really and Truly. The service is friendly and the food is always good. One thing I can say is sometimes its not the same… I always order a chicken broth phở, and sometimes it comes with carrots, other times it doesn’t. Or sometimes it’ll have limes and basil then other times it’ll have cilantro. Aside from this everything is still good all the time. Its just hard to predict exactly what you’re going to get when its presented to you.

This reincarnation of the previous Luong Loi is outstanding to say the least. Everything in our recent visits has been just fantastic. Great move L.L. good to see you back.

My hubby & I frequented this restaurant at the old location simply because the food was tasty. Had I rated it back then, the most I would’ve given it would be a 3.5, if half stars were possible. This is because it was an example of the typical Asian restaurant with dirty floor, icky restroom, non-​engaging staff, unedited printed menu in cheap/​old plastic cover, old dishes/​chopsticks/​utensils, etc., etc., and I wasn’t eager to bring visitors there. BUT NOW at the new location just across the street, Luong Loi is an Asian restaurant I am proud to bring visitors to! Not only is the venue snazzy and well decorated, but the printed menu is smart, there are new young staff who engage their customers and smile, the entrees are the same delicious taste, but better presented, and the restrooms are nice! Hope they keep it up!

In my experience this restaurant has been consistently good for the past several years I have been going no matter the location. The phở which is a beef noodle soup is exceptional. I love the different spices and flavors it features. I appreciate the generous helping of fresh bean sprouts and peppers which are meant to be mixed into the soup. The Mongolian beef and won ton appetizer are outstanding menu items as well. My Mom absolutely loves the Mongolian beef and she thinks it is the best out of many she has experienced. As good as it is, I think some people might find it a little sweet. The décor in the new location is much improved.

Noooo! what have you done with the lemongrass chicken?!

Luong Loi (the old location) used to be my togo place for Phở and Com. So when I found out that they were closed for good, I was really heartbroken. A couple weeks ago, I was messing around with the Unilocal app, searching for new and hot businesses around the area and I happened to stumble upon this place. I was so excited, the first thing I did was texted one of my friends and told her that we need to check this place out. We ended up going here the following weekend. The new location is literally across the street from the old one. I really like the interior designs of this place. It seems so much bigger and cleaner compares to the old one.
We started off with Spring Rolls and it was decent. It was not OMG amazing, but at the same time, it was not horrible. I actually prefer the Spring Rolls at Green Basil a little bit more. However, I actually like the Com Suon Nuong at this place a lot more. The Com Suon Nuong comes with a pork chop and shredded pork. For a dollar more, you can add an egg or the Vietnamese sausages. Two of my friends ended up ordering the soups. They said the soups were decent, however, the soups itself were not hot enough. I would definitely come back to this place again and give the Walnut Shrimp a try.

The phở is yummy! I do love a good bowl of hot, brothy noodle dinner once in a while and I am glad I found this place!

Hallelujah they are back and better! Filter coffee, papaya salad, egg rolls, spring rolls, any thing lemon grass and sea food-​if you want wonderfully creatively AND perfectly cooked dishes you will want to be here. And the bonus, a georgeous space that befits the food.

Luong Loi is a cute little Vietnamese/​Chinese restaurant right in the middle of downtown Wheaton. I love going here for a hot bowl of phở bo, which brings back childhood memories for me. The food is pretty good, prices are OK (gotta save my pennies as a college student!), and the servers are very friendly and courteous. I will be sure to return often!

This place recently re-​opened after being closed for what seemed like forever. It was worth the wait, the food is fresh and cooked to perfection, the chicken is moist and tender. The service is always good. The recipes are authentic, the prices are fair, and the new restaurant is bigger and very open. It is decorated in these amazing photographs of Vietnam market places and sites, I believe they were taken by the owners. Just try it you won’t be disappointed.

I found good phở in the Western Suburbs. I will return soon.

Luong Loi is my favorite restaurant in downtown Wheaton. It’s easy to to get to, as it’s right on Main Street, and with a new location (directly across the street from it’s old one) it has lots of seating to accommodate most group sizes.
Make sure to try to the egg drop soup – they’re the only ones I know of that add garlic to it. The addition is simple but incredibly tasty.
I’ve never had bad service here. I’ve never had bad food here. I’ve never had anything short of a great experience here, actually. Definitely worth your time.

Went for a Sunday lunch as part of a group of nine. They were busy, so I understand that their service would be somewhat slow. However, it took probably 15 minutes before they came to take our order, and then it took a good 30 minutes to get our food. They didn’t bring out everyone’s food at the same time – it was a person here and a person there.
I had the orange chicken, which was average at best – I think that the orange chicken from Panda Express is much better. My friend said that the chicken with pea pods was salty.
I won’t be coming back, at least not by my own choice.

I was so happy when I learned they hadn’t closed forever and simply moved across the street. The wait seemed to take forever but it was worth it. Luckily their food is just as great as before with the exception of the mongolian beef. This time it tasted fishy, like someone went overboard with the oyster sauce. So that was a disappointment. My only other complaint was it’s pretty cold inside. I get it, heat is expensive, but I want to be comfortable and relax when dining out. Hopefully it was an anomaly as I would hate to have to avoid the place until it warms up outside.
Now for the good stuff — I love that each dish now comes with its own side of rice. In the past when we order multiple dishes, they’d bring them out with just a plate of rice and not offer to bring more. This time we ordered four dishes because we were so excited they were back in business and wanted to enjoy the food for multiple meals. Each dish came with it’s own rice so we didn’t have to make our own at home. I also like that they now have lunch specials every day of the week. We will definitely take advantage of that since my favorite dish, Kung Pao chicken, is on the that list.

This is delicious authentic Vietnamese food. The prices are fair, the service us adequate but the food is outstanding.
Try their pot stickers and spring rolls. So yummy.
They just opened across the street from their old place. Hope its bigger. Im taking my son there to cheer him up.

Tis the season to be jolly… Phở, phở, phở, phở, phoooooo.
Yes, ladies and gents, they officially REOPENED! I’ve been hoping because this is the only place I know close to me that has the BEST PHO in the western suburbs.
Absolutely beautiful new location! Space wise, it’s a little bit bigger. But much BRIGHTER and MODERN DECOR. It has a rustic industrial motif and they still have their lucky Buddha but this time, it’s against the wall for all to see. Beautiful photography on the walls to show customers their origin. No more «My heart will go on» instrumental music. You’re greeted now with Justin Bieber’s «Sorry.»
The menu is nice and simple. One side is the Vietnamese dishes and the other side is their Chinese dishes. And THANKFUL their Phở is still amazing. You know the Phở is good when the broth is so clear and just clean tasting. You can choose beef broth or chicken broth. The spice of the broth and the ingredients are just fantastic!
Nice and friendly service as usual. They are quick and hospitable. SUPER EXCITED they are back and in full swing!

Very happy that Luong-​Loi has reopened in Wheaton. The new location is right across the street from the previous location. The New Loung-​Loi has a very refreshed and modernized atmosphere. The menu has been updated but my favorites dishes remain. The restaurant staff works hard, is very friendly and attentive. Best of luck on your reopening!
