HaiSous Vietnamese Kitchen

Tasty but quite pricey for what you get. Everything was a bit too salty for my preference as well.

One of those places where the price tag actually matches the quality and creativity of food you’re eating

As a Vietnamese, I am super excited to try the food here, and let me tell you, I am impressed. The chef really makes the dishes taste good without taking away their authenticity. I ordered a small fried fish, oysters, clams, bún chả, and a cream puff. The fish was so good that I felt like I was in Vietnam. The oysters and clams were okay. They were tasty, but kinda small for the price. I was a little bit disappointed with bún chả. Although the taste was there, I didn't like the way it was served in a bowl of fish sauce. The flavor was still very authentic tho. On the other hand, I loved my cream puff. It was big enough for 2 people, and the coffee filling was yummy. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for those who want to try Vietnamese cuisine.

I almost never leave negative reviews, but this experience was so alarming that I feel obligated to warn others.

During our recent visit, we ordered grilled prawns, and what we received raised immediate red flags. Some prawns were firm and acceptable, but many were disturbingly soft, mushy, and had an off-putting flavor — clear signs that they may have been dead long before cooking, with muscle breakdown already underway. This represents a serious food safety violation. Shockingly, one of my friends began vomiting shortly after eating, which speaks volumes about the potential health risks.

To make matters worse, one member of our group, who has traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, confirmed that the flavors were completely inauthentic and bore little resemblance to true Vietnamese cuisine.

The service was chaotic and careless. Multiple wrong dishes were delivered, communication was disorganized, and staff showed little urgency or professionalism when addressing mistakes. The entire operation felt sloppy and unsafe.

Given the combination of severe food safety concerns, false representation of cuisine, and grossly inadequate service, I strongly urge others to avoid this restaurant. It is unacceptable that such basic standards of hygiene and management are not being met.

We will not return, and I sincerely hope appropriate action is taken to address these serious issues.

It took them 15 minutes just to find our reservation, the chicken was undercooked, the wagyu lacked flavor, and the service was unreasonably slow

Fried whole fluke and the ghost pepper/cucumber cocktail were the highlights. Great service.

Either bib gourmand or one star Vietnamese restaurant, very very good! Visited couple times❤️

Disappointing food and service. Other than the chicken wings, food was just OK. The pork patty dish was a confusing mess. Crab fried rice had a slight crab flavor but was oily. The waiter went AWOL after taking our order.

Just had an amazing dinner at HaiSous in Pilsen. The vibe is modern yet cozy, perfect for a night out. We kicked things off with the caramelized fish sauce wings—crispy and packed with flavor. The grilled eggplant in garlic sauce was a standout, and the crab fried rice had generous chunks of crab meat. For dessert, the whipped young coconut rice pudding was a delightful finish. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. For two people, our bill was around $140, including a couple of cocktails. Definitely worth it for the quality and experience.

A modern Vietnamese restaurant offering flavorful dishes, including pho, banh mi, and other traditional Vietnamese fare.

Definitely one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in town. If you like elevated Vietnamese cuisine, you’ll like it here. Chef Thai Dang comes up with new dishes every month and we love almost everything so far. Would highly recommend!

Our first time here and we were very impressed. We had the wings, papaya salad, chopped clams, bun cha, emperor's noodles, and the crab fried rice. Everything was spectacular with beautiful vietnamese flavors. They have the best wings in the city by far. This maybe our new go to spots.

Unique and laid back. Food extremely tasty, but be prepared to spend some moola.

One of my most favorite places

If you’re in the mood for some seriously flavorful Vietnamese food, HaiSous is where it’s at. I got the pho and some banh mi, and wow, the pho broth was rich and the noodles perfectly slurpable. The banh mi had that crispy, fresh baguette with the perfect balance of meat and pickled veggies. To top it off, I tried their signature cocktail, and it was a refreshing punch. Spent about $20, which was totally worth it for the portion sizes and the quality. The vibe inside is trendy but welcoming, and the service was spot on. Definitely a go-to when I need my Vietnamese fix.
