50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Chicago

“Nha Hang gets a lot of hype and it lives up! The pho tai is absolutely phenomenal. It is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. A massive portion that also has an appropriate amount of noodles and beef. The broth is pure and so impeccably balanced. It was an absolute pleasure to eat. The vegetable spring rolls are also good. I cant wait to come back!“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I cannot possibly write a review that would adequately capture the stunning sandwich and marvelous vibe. Le and Andy were incredibly friendly, professional, efficient, and informative.

I arrived before my companion and they spent the 30 minutes I was waiting engaging in pleasant and interesting conversation, as well as continually offering various drinks, appetizers, and even inviting me to partake in a drink with the table next to mine. Such lovely enthusiasm.

The sandwich was perfect by every metric. Fresh pillowy and flaky bread, zippy and crunchy crispity peppers, flavorful meat, monchy veggies, aromatic herbs. Lord have mercy. Absolutely outrageously delicious and satisfying.
The Viet ice coffee was spot-on as well.

I have lived in Hanoi, and have been hunting and gobbling Banh Mi for 30 years... And I gotta say: this is truly the best Banh Mi I have ever had. The craziest part is that's it's not even close.

“Can easily be my new go-to spot for pho. Tasty pho ga (chicken pho). Paid cash, but didn’t get coins back as part of the change, so I took off one star. They also accept card.

Plenty of free parking available in the lot next to the restaurant.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“We had the chef tasting and it was excellent. It included many unique and tasty dishes. None of us went home hungry. Perfect spices and great combinations of flavor. Service was very attentive but still gave us tons time to chat and enjoy each course.“

“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!“

“Miss Saigon is a Vietnamese restaurant with genuinely good, flavorful food that feels fresh and well prepared. The dishes have a clean taste, not overly salty or heavy, and the ingredients come through nicely. Portions are solid, and everything I tried had that comforting, home-style flavor you expect from a good Vietnamese place.

The atmosphere is simple but pleasant, and the service was quick and friendly. It’s an easy spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal without any rush. If you’re in the area and want something tasty and satisfying, this is a great place to stop for a good Vietnamese meal.“

“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“

“I've even driven almost 2hours just to enjoy the food here . I Live in a small town in Wisconsin .
The food here is delicious , authentic and comforting , the Staff is always warm , welcoming .
I truly appreciate this restaurent for giving me a little piece of home every time i come
Highly recommend .“

“🚨 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. My top picks: 🍗 Ginger Chicken Perfectly seasoned with ginger, grilled onion, and soy sauce – so flavorful and satisfying. 🍜 Pho They’ve nailed it! Each bowl comes loaded with onions, scallions, cilantro, and all the fresh fixings like basil, beansprouts, and lime on the side. Comfort food at its finest. Bonus: They’re open for lunch, which is such a win! Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. Downtown Naperville just keeps getting better! 🙌“

“service is great...will definitely come back“

“Hoanh Long in North Park is straight fire. Hit it up for lunch – kicked things off with two shrimp spring rolls, then a massive beef pho and spicy lemongrass stir-fry with tofu. Broth legit rich, stir‑fry packed with flavor, and the portions were huge—perfect Chicago-style appetite. Chill café feels, service super friendly, and parking’s doable before 7pm. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Hands down the best viet food in Chicago. From presentation, flavors, and fresh herbs. They easily set the standards for what viet food should be and no place on Arglye can compare.“

“I had the Pho Tai and it was great, super fresh and full of flavor. The broth was on point, and everything tasted really clean and well made.

Service was great too. The food came out fast, the staff was super friendly, and the place had a nice, vibe. Clean restaurant, good people, great food. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite Pho restaurant! When I am starting to feel sick I make it a priority to get LD Pho.“

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

“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.“

“Although I've only tried this one pho restaurant in this area, their pho is already far more authentic than those in Chinatown. The pho served in Chinatown is greasy and fishy. I'm truly grateful to find delicious pho again here. While I still find the broth a bit salty, I won't complain too much. The restaurant is bright and spacious, with service that's adequate. The appetizer of Hawaiian leaf sausage was quite tasty (though perhaps too salty for some) and came in a generous portion.“

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

“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)“

“Great food and great service“

“The bahn mi is addictive! This is my second sandwich in as many days. I didn't even take a photo the first day because I inhaled it so fast! Sauce is delicious. The bread tastes like it was made today. Bulgogi abundant. I could eat ten of these. Dangerous.“

“It has quickly become one of my favorite spots! Been here three times, and the food is consistently delicious, and I especially appreciate that the ambiance is perfect for conversation. My first visit was at the bar with my manager, and we really enjoyed the tapas-style dinner, sharing different plates. My second visit was with a good friend, and I had your signature red snapper dish. As someone who is Cambodian, it immediately reminded me of how my dad used to cook our catfish... it was absolutely delicious! Most recently, I tried the sea bass, and as expected, it was very delectable. This is definitely a spot I plan to keep visiting!“

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

“Friendly staff unique menu. Very child friendly. Made good. Use of the space hot chocolate, fried chicken and donuts were out of this world delicious… overall a unique one-of-a-kind experience was had“

“It's unoffensive middle of the road pho. say you were growing up in some flat Midwestern State. Ohio, for instance. You're like 12 years old and you have dinner with a friend of yours house. Their mom makes meatloaf. When you get home your mother asks you to have dinner was. You say it was fine. You mean it. It was the same meatloaf every mother in the neighborhood makes and it was completely fine. You would eat it again. That's this place. it's fine. I'll eat it. I don't really have anything bad to say about it but I'm not going to rave about it either. The lady that took my order was pleasant. I got served about 5 minutes after I ordered. If that. It was hella fast.“

“The banh mi was so fresh and delicious! We also tried the heo quay and ended up buying 2lb to bring more home. Phenomenal crispy skin roasted pork. Fat melted off, tender meat, amazingly crispy skin. My mouth is watering as I write this review.“

“Ngon bổ rẻ :)

I really like this place. It’s the most authentic compared to the ones around. They handmade everything. It’s their handmade meatball that made me keep coming back. It’s a big place too so I never have to wait.“

“Excellent selection. Great atmosphere.“

“This place just breathed new life into me on a day that was...A LOT to say the least. So tasty, thanks y'all! ✨“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Glad to have found a good Vietnamese restaurant in River North. My husband and I go there at least twice a month. We love the pho there, I especially love the pho bo vien. Their vermicelli with grilled chicken is also great, very refreshing during the hotter months. I keep ordering their bac xiu coffee so I haven’t gotten around to try other drinks on their menu yet.“

“I want to go again! I’m 5 hours away so I better start driving now.“

“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.“

“Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy Pho soup“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“
