50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Chicago

“excellent food - we both the spring rolls and the egg rolls. the crab fried rice and vegetable salad with rice noodles were also really tasty.“

“Unassuming little place. The food is ok. The broken rice with beef was pretty good. The doing rolls were hard since the skin dried out .

The sauces are just a bit off but ingredients were fresh.

OnChoy was pretty yum.“

“Great food and eclectic music. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.“

“It’s my first time to eat Nhulan Chicago, a Vietnamese cuisine, it was a wonderful experience !!!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“We stopped in for a quick bite after a long drive from Michigan and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Each dish had a nice depth and balance without being too heavy, and I found myself eating a bit too quickly because it was so satisfying. The Golden Sun cocktail had a refreshing citrus note with just the right kick from the ghost pepper, pairing nicely with the savory dishes. The cream puffs at the end were a fun bonus and the best I’ve had in a long time. If I lived nearby, I’d be coming back all the time.“

“Quality BBQ with a Chinese/Vietnamese twist. You can find Umamicue at Little Victories and Spilt Milk Tavern. Smoked crab rangoon is a classic but made with real crab and an added Smokey flavor ?… and the meats…the meats… gimme all the meats“

“price was fair, food was aiight. maybe cuz we came an hour before closing. didn't offer high chair for our toddler. pork chop took forever n came out warm. asked for certain drinks the man said their too busy. Def try other restaurants nearby next time in chi town.“

“the resturant is beautiful and the seafood was very flavorful.“

“I searched far and wide for fresh soy milk (unsweetened and sweetened) and tofu & this shop has that + pandan soy milk, tofu pudding, lemongrass fried tofu, & more. If you’re in argyle definitely worth checking out. Apple Pay & card accepted, though it’s good to pay in cash if you can. Great prices (2.75 cash for some lemon grass fried tofu)“

“Staff was amazing and were attentive to the questions that were asked and fun staff. I can see myself going back.“

“Service is good and they are staffed up for lunch time. My dry style hu tieu with the tomato/fish/shrimp sarsa was insane. Chased with a thoughtful sidebroth of gio, and finished with a crisp sugacane juice. Under $25, given the sugarcane juice is damn well $10 (well worth it.) But either item is worth a visit at Hai Yen. Can't wait to try their mam this weekend... or just more of what I just had.!“

“This is my favorite pho I have had in Chicago since we moved in a little over a year ago. The location is great too, near the lakefront and surrounded by some other great places to eat. My boyfriend went for a bahn mi without looking at the menu in advance and ended up getting the curry goat stew instead. He loved it so much that he says it changed the way he orders Vietnamese food, so I would recommend that dish as well.“

“🚨 New favorite spot alert in Downtown Naperville! 🚨 Discovered an amazing gem that’s now a go-to for both lunch and dinner. The food? Absolutely incredible.

Very good vibe and cozy atmosphere 😀
Very friendly waiter/owner, she was kind, energetic, engaging in conversations and recommendations. 😀😀
Food was very flavorful and has a good variety, both from north and south Vietnam.

Would highly recommend to friends, families and clients.
Have a good dinning experience friend 🙏😀“

“I picked up an order, I got home and noticed there was an item missing, and when I called, the manager (owner?) spoke to me and offered to drive it to my home after they closed up shop. I tried to tip the man who delivered it but he refused. He was very kind and thanked me for my business. Arguably the best customer service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant.“

“This place is always a winner with their delicious drinks! So unique and so satisfying! Love all the textures and combinations! I would try everything if I could!“

“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors," "The service was outstanding - our waiter was attentive and made great recommendations," "The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion," "This hidden gem exceeded all expectations, we'll definitely be back.“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“Incredible beef bone broth, and pork and shrimp broth with egg noodles. Very generous with the meats, and vegetable toppings. I really enjoyed the provided sauces especially the chili oil with dried fish of some sort. The space is basic but the food and business owner-chef warms you right up. Excited to try more from the menu“

“Just finished eating my Banh Mi, I stopped in while working and im really glad I did. The girl at the counter was super nice and sweet, I shouldve gotten her name cause she honestly made my day. The BBQ pork bahn mi was one of the best ive ever had and full of flavor. I'll be coming back to try their other stuff.“

“[Pho Restaurant Name] is a hidden gem that elevates the humble bowl of phở into something quietly remarkable. The broth is a masterclass in patience — crystal clear, deeply aromatic, and rich with the essence of slow-simmered bones and spices.

I had the P7, and the rare beef melted effortlessly into the broth. Accompanied by fresh herbs, lime, and crisp sprouts, each bite felt personal and deeply satisfying.
Service was gracious, the space calm and inviting.

In a world of culinary trends, [Pho Restaurant Name] stays true to its roots — and in doing so, offers something far more enduring.“

“Miss Saigon on Argyle is straight fire. I hit it for lunch and ordered the Pho Tai (rare beef pho), a crispy shrimp spring roll and a taro bubble tea. Broth was deep and savory, noodles had the perfect chew, rolls were crunchy-fresh, and that boba hit just right. Staff was hella friendly and the dining room’s got a chill, modern vibe. Five stars!“

“The food was very fresh and delicious. We were a group of seven and between us had soups, sandwiches, and spring rolls and everything was top notch. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Fantastic Vietnamese food, highly recommend, and will be back!“

“I’ve been driving from Indianapolis to pick up their sandwiches for nearly two decades Love this place“

“We had a great meal here! The food was super fresh and tasted amazing. The seafood, especially the octopus and shrimp, was cooked just right, and the broth in the soup was so flavorful and comforting. Everything was really well-prepared, and the service was friendly too. Definitely a spot we’d come back to! ❤️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5“

“Love this place. Everyone there is always friendly! The Pho is top notch, the Bahn Mi is great, kids Pho is fantastic(not on the menu so be sure to ask for it), and don't ever leave without getting the shrimp and pork spring rolls with peanut sauce, which is incredible. Super kid friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Will be back here more often with the kids, and love supporting a great local business.“

“Food is great - carry out and dine in.
My family's go-to items are Pho, fried rice, and pork chop rice dish. Always consistent and delicious.

Interior of restaurant is a bit run down, but clean. Has space for larger groups.“

“It’s my favorite place for banh mi in the area. My only issue was they wouldn’t give me a fork when I asked for one. Lady working there said I didn’t need it for a spring roll ? which is fair but I didn’t want to get my hands dirty. Otherwise good food.“

“Solid spot for lunch in the Loop. I tried the Galbi-Tang—the broth was rich, and the short ribs were tender, though I only got two pieces. Also grabbed the Bulgogi Banh Mi; the flavors were good, but I was hoping for a bit more kick. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. Spent around $30, and I'd come back to try other dishes.“

“Everything was lovely. Environment was spectacular. Our server was kind and efficient and knew we were there for a birthday celebration. Only thing that I was not as pleased with was two of our entrees were not as warm as we would have liked but food was very tasty.“

“Great food and great service“

“Recently opened in my neighborhood. excellent egg rolls and crispy fried egg noodles with beef. Will definitely be back once we can eat in.“

“My first time there, and the food was great. Service was okay. But large portions- they’re very busy but try their best to accommodate everyone. Clean restrooms and restaurant. I would go back.“

“We had am amazing birthday celebration. The food was made with the freshest ingredients and was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our party of 15 raved about their meal. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent selection. Great atmosphere.“

“It was our first time there and we had a great experience. Food was delicious. Service was great and friendly staff. Everything is made fresh to order including their ginger green tea and cherry pomade.“

“Amazing, Merry Christmas!!“
