SOUTH BELOIT – Sometimes on the weekend, I end up watching cooking shows and dreaming about sampling unique food. As much as I try, Asian dishes never quite turn out as good when I make them myself at home. You need just the right ingredients like lime leaves, some special chili that I can’t easily find, or they take extra care or a special technique to fill and seal which just makes me impatient. I was delighted to discover I could get authentic Vietnamese food in South Beloit when the cravings hit me.

On a rainy Saturday evening, after an afternoon spent whetting my appetite in front of the tv, we headed down to Pho Thanh Thu on South Park Avenue, formerly home to the Imperial Palace. When you enter, there is a gorgeous Chinese arch and the dining area has an array of wonderful artwork which catches your eye instantly and beautifies the space. Lime green walls and muted green carpeting serves as a nice backdrop to red padded booths and a handful of tables. Directional spotlights on the ceiling and pendant lights above each booth create an ambient, relaxed atmosphere. One thing to note is that the otherwise accessible restaurant has a short flight of stairs leading up to the restrooms.
