Pholicious is a new vietnamese restaurant that just opened in Peoria. I just love the name of this restaurant: PHO - [pronounced fuh, or fur] is vietnamese beef noodle soup that has existed for more than 90 years + LICIOUS - these days you can add that suffix to just about any base word and you know it is something good.
Anyways, got a flyer in the mail for this place and being a fan of vietnamese food decided to give it a go. We walked in to a restaurant filled with Vietnamese people. Now this gets me excited because I know it has to be authentic and delicious.
I ordered a cup of crab/asparagus soup - $2.95 for a cup! And more than a generous amount. Shrimp fried rice - $7.95! Delicious, tasty, cooked to perfection. The shrimp were not the baby shrimp, but were rather large. D. ordered the vermicelli w/beef - $6.95! This was an absolutely delicious dish, extremely flavorful.
There are sooooo many things to try on this menu, the selection is huge and the prices cannot be beat. I know we will be back soon to dine-in or order take-out.
