50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Chicago

“Typical Vietnamese food, that is hard to find elsewhere! In Germany - no chance! So take it here: The normally home cooked soup: 149 is a flavour of a warm embrace from Vietnam , it comes with catfish, pineapple, okra and Elefant ear stem (which I never had before) - amazing - staff was very attentive and explaining. So a family of 4 would order 149+158/159+178 !!! One day I'll do that then!“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“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.“

“Went here for the first time with my husband last week and I am so THRILLED to have discovered a place in the neighborhood I can get a fresh tofu banh mi! We got an appetizer of spring rolls with seitan and peanut dipping sauce and for our meal we got the lemongrass tofu banh mi, and everything was incredibly fresh and really tasty! All of the vegetables were crisp and hand sliced (no pre bagged stuff here), the bread was really soft and warm, and the herbs and seasonings added the perfect amount of fresh flavor to the dishes. We love that they have a dedicated vegetarian/ vegan menu and everything is clearly marked and all ingredients are listed, this is a huge plus. Staff was attentive and welcoming and we even got to meet the co-owner, Le, who was incredibly warm and lovely! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves Southeast Asian flavors or fresh, delicious food in general. Will be back!“

“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 is made fresh and so delicious.“

“That curry dish was absurdly delicious.

Not cheap but I don’t mind paying for excellent quality. Drinks bumped up the tab but were mid teens each. Pretty standard. The wings were also standouts and prawns in chili were also good but that curry….“

“Best pho and spring rolls on Argyle“

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

“It Was Good On A Cold Day“

“Bún bò siêu ngon. Rất là ưng ý 🥰🥰🥰“

“🚨 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! 🙌“

“Probably the best pho I’ve had in the city. The owner was very kind. Portions were large and the prices were cheap. I respect that this place takes pride in the food and keeps things simple in order to provide a high quality meal at a reasonable price, in an area that is certainly not known for pho! I hope the neighborhood treasures this place. I’ll be back soon!“

“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!“

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

“Delicious spring rolls and hue spicy noodle soup and vermicelli rice noodle salad. Yummy. Great cocktails. Perfect service.“

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

“Really good food. Seems like all the negative reviews are regarding less attentive service than people are used (a plus for me, I don’t need to be checked in on 3-5 times) to or a dingy atmosphere. Neither matters to me, sometimes you just want good Vietnamese food w no frills and this is exactly that.“

“we are within walking distance of this place and wanted to try it out. It definitely didn’t disappoint us!!! the place was clean, the staff were super friendly, and the food was delicious. We ordered pho and a rice meal, and both were superb! this is now our third time coming back, and we’ll definitely be back again 😋😋“

“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“

“Not the best or friendliest service (hence the four stars), but come for the self-wrapping spring rolls, one of the few places to offer it in Chicago. Pick your protein of choice and they bring out mise en place the rice paper, veggies, and amazing sauces. Highly recommend especially if you're new to Vietnamese cuisine, and want to make your own spring rolls!“

“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!“

“Tasty!! One of the only places in the city where I could find banh khot- it was perfectly crispy and tasty. The cashier/server was also very kind and attentive! He was alone but held things down very well and was consistently checking in and refilling our waters. Overall a clean, cozy space with tasty food. Would come again!“

“🎊🏮⛩️ 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“

“The 3 different Banh Mi’s I’ve had here were ok. Bread was the best part. Everything was fresh but protein lacked flavor. The crab rangoon’s were the best thing I’ve ordered from here. Crunchy with a lot of filling. Fried rice was just ok. Staff was upbeat and friendly. I’d give it a 7 out of 10.“

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

“I come here often for Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai iced tea - they make the best of both of these that I’ve had in the city.

The curry chicken banh mi is very good. The lemongrass chicken though was very dry and could use something to make the bites go down easier, but that’s my one and only complaint about anything from here“

“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)“

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

“Absolutely loved my experience at Le Colonial! The Lychee Martini is hands down one of the best in Chicago—so delicious and refreshing! 🍸 The Pho Bo was also fantastic, with a flavorful broth and perfectly cooked ingredients. 🍜

Add to that excellent service and a beautiful atmosphere, and you have a perfect spot for a night out... or lunch. Definitely coming back! ❤“

“Got the house special pho and it was really good! Definitely a bang for your buck place as the small is still a mountain of food. This is definitely a no frills place- but I would argue what this place lacks in fancy decor or easily seen bathroom, it makes up for in food quality and quantity.“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“This eatery is tucked in the basement of a building and very unassuming. They serve Korean and viet food here but I find the Korean food to be better and very authentic. Prices are reasonable and portions and good. I got the japchae and the bulgolgi kimbap and both were excellent in flavor. The japchae has a good serving of beef and noodles were nice and chewy. The kimbap was stuffed with meat and veggies and rice was just the perfect texture. I really enjoyed the food and service was quick and friendly“

“So happy I stumbled upon this place! I ended up coming here two separate times during a weekend trip because I liked it so much. The first time I got the classic banh mi and an oolong milk tea. The banh mi had the perfect ratio of toppings and I had no complaints with it. The milk tea was a little sweet for my taste, so next time I think I would ask for less sugar. The second time I came I tried the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken skewers. The fish sauce is garlicky and spicy and everything tasted fresh. They also have sugarcane juice which was delicious. The service here is excellent and the staff is so friendly! Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to try more of their menu.“

“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!“

“Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy Pho soup“

“We stopped by for a quick dinner, and it turned out to be a great choice. The pho was delicious, full of flavor, and the fresh shrimp rolls were just as good. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were satisfying. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back again to try more dishes from the menu.“

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

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent selection. Great atmosphere.“

“Amazing, Merry Christmas!!“

“I was the last customer of the night I got there right before closing the lady was so nice my dinner was great I will definitely go back.“

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