50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Chicago

“🔥 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! 🔥
I’ve tried pho at so many places across the U.S., but this one is on another level. The soup base is incredibly rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying you can tell it’s made with real care and time. If you like spicy food, be ready the spice level is seriously bold and amazing! 🌶️
And the banh mi? Absolutely unreal. I’ve never had a banh mi like this before. The bread is perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything inside is packed with flavor.
Do not skip this spot. If you love pho or banh mi, this place is a must-try. I’ll 100% be coming 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.

• You must go here •“

“We had pho at Pho Nam Lua, and it was hands down the best pho we’ve ever had. The broth was incredibly rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced—comforting and delicious in every way.

“Best pho and spring rolls on Argyle“

“You're not coming here to have a nice sit down dinner. You're ordering and picking up some delicious, fresh pho and FIRE eggrolls. I'm mad I only got two.
Owner is so sweet and funny. My shrimp and chicken pho was fantastic. She used a beef broth, but that waa fine w me. I watched her cook the meat and shrimp fresh and packaged it well so I could enjoy it at home. Cash or Zelle only so have it ready!“

“What a great experience. The food absolutely amazing. The service was A+ very helpful and attentive and knowledgeable. The ambience was great. The drinks amazing. Just want to say thank you to staff for great dinner experience for me and my girls on Valentines weekend. We will be back soon.“

“🚨 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.“

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

“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.“

“🎊🏮⛩️ Happy Lunar New Year!
Chúc mừng năm mới! 🐎🧧🥠

This my first time dining at King Pho. My friends have been here before and recommended for us to meet up here.

We ordered Phở Tái, Bún Tôm Nướng, Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon. It was plenty for 3 people and took some home. They also have a huge menu with Smoothies and Bubble Tea. I looking forward to trying the teas and other menu items“

“Viet fusion has brought me back to Vietnam. Fresh ingredients you can TASTE! The owner is so wonderful and very friendly! Ordered the FAMOUS bahn mi(viet fusion bahn mi), I kept hearing about and let me say.. this is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, crispy and delicious. Presentation was amazing as well. Bread was soft and I wanted to order another LOL. Pho here is traditional and I can say the servings are large! Don’t be shy to ask what’s in the soup! Drink menu is also available just have to ask! I will be back! So happy I finally went in to try.“

“I tried every pho on the north side until I tried Pho Viet. Now I won’t go anywhere else.“

“Coco Vietnamese is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Christine and Yen is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing Bahn mi. Must come back. 10/10.“

“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)“

“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 great service“

“This is our go-to spot for pho in the loop, and our favorite lunch to grab during the work week as well. The pho bo vien has the best meatballs, and the broth gets better every time I go. The serving is definitely big enough to get you full.

It's located in a cafeteria/food-hall in the basement of the building.“

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

“Been here a few times to eat and grab drinks, however Fernando at the front as soo accomodating. It was Valentine's Day and my wife and I walked in hoping to grab a few after dinner drinks. He warmly welcomed us. Along with Marco, the bartender, even dib'd stools for us because we were waiting almost an hour for chairs to open up. Top notch hospitality.“

“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“

“Went here once and ordered 2 bánh mì, the wait time was long even though the restaurant was empty, the food was good, however, and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean, and I remember the price being decent. I would come again to try out more food & desserts.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We went for my girlfriend’s bday dinner, was a crowd pleasure with everyone able to get something they liked. LGBTQ+ Friendly service and accommodations for up to 10! Groups over 5 pay a 20% service fee but that’s pretty typical. Not sure the exact per person cost breakdown as some of us ordered 2 apps and fancy drinks but if you only get an entree and water it’s definitely less than 20$ plus tip 🥰“

“Excellent selection. Great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Amazing, Merry Christmas!!“

“I am so happy we stopped here instead of some other options in the area. Their shop is adorable, staff is so kind and helpful, and most importantly the food is FRESH AND DELICIOUS! So authentic. The tea? Not too sweet like those shops who cater to the kids (no offense). I live so far but being that Pho has been a huge pregnancy craving of mine, I will be back! Again and again! The pho tai nam was the bomb and my cousin got the chicken pho! Both blew us out of the water.“

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

“Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy Pho soup“

“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 is made fresh and so delicious.“
