Once a simple “meat-and-potatoes” town, Peoria offers an eclectic mix of fine dining as well as a host of international flavors. Leading the way is Thanh Linh, a beloved institution on West Main Street serving up heaping portions of Vietnamese and other Asian dishes, spiced to suit, at very reasonable prices. From their splendid spring rolls and lemongrass chicken to their trademark pho—piled high with fresh basil, crispy bean sprouts, sliced jalapenos and lime—the restaurant’s delicious consistency is disguised by its humble façade.
