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.“

“Wow, everything about this place is great. The service was outstanding, with the waiter very familiar with all the items on the menu, and suggested wine pairings. The food was perfectly delicious in everyway. Would highly recommend the grilled oysters and the eggplant. I generally don't like grilled oysters as if not done right they get dried out and rubbery. These were perfectly plump and the sauce was not overwhelming.“

“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)“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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. 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! 🙌“

“Best Bo Kho.
Best Banh Bot Loc.
Best Khot Vung Tau.
Best Bo Kho.
Pristine Presentation and Plating.

The Best Banana Fritter with Coconut tapioca pudding.
I wish they can focus on opening in Winnetka or Glencoe.
The Grilled meat platter with Sunnyside up egg is a specialty.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Not much in this neighborhood of Chicago but this place hit the spot. I got the vegan egg rolls and vermicelli through door dash pick up. They have a clear section of vegetarian and most of those are labeled vegan. The food was great and the portions are good for the price. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-22“

“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.“

“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 in Uptown hits the spot every time. Grabbed the beef short ribs pho and 2 springrolls—both were fire. The pho broth is rich and deep, and those ribs? Tender and flavorful. Springrolls were crisp and fresh. Dropped about $27 before tip, totally worth it. Cozy spot with chill vibes—perfect for a comforting meal. Definitely coming back for more.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“This is my favorite Asian restaurant ever. We were celebrating a birthday. Our server was outstanding. Cocktails were amazing. Food was delicious. Our evening was nearly ruined by the party sitting very close to our table. They were extremely loud. Probably over served. It was awful. Thankfully the fabulous Raphael skillfully approached them and they left shortly thereafter. Kudos to our server and the restaurant manager. Such a good save.“

“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.“
