14 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Des Plaines

“Good place to eat“

“Took my husband here for his bday today. He absolutely loves PHO and usually we would go up north in Chicago to get some. This is absolutely delicious and so nice now we don't have to go to the city. I got the hot spicy sea food red curry soup. I forgot the real name, but omg the stock was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was so nice and very attentive. We can't wait to try more of the menu.“

“We've been to this location ballpark 4-5 times in 2 months since we found that there's a Vietnamese food place nearby! The ginger chicken bahn mi is superior, absolutely recommend with jalapenos! (They aren't too spicy, but they add a layer of delicious with the lemongrass chicken!) The fresh shrimp spring are also just delicious, the peanut sauce that comes with is a REALLY nice consistency I didn't know I needed- it's perfect for taking a bite, drizzling some into the roll, and having another bite. Most peanut sauces are more "dipping" sauces, this is way more brilliant. They also carry a sparkling yuzu and white peach drink by Moshi that is REALLY delightful, and perfect with the bahn mi.

My guy ordered the beef pho last time, and I tried it, and I wanted to steal it, but my chicken curry was also really good, so I definitely want to order these again! There's a few other locations around the area, but under a slightly different name, Lotus Banh Mi. Guy and I feel like the consistency between the 2 locations are excellent! HIGHLY recommend!

The atmosphere at this location is great, it's off the street, with parking just around the corner, and the location has a very comfortable, fresh, feeling. We're hoping to stop by for lunch one afternoon, get some things we haven't tried yet, and walk around the area some- there's a great park about a block away!

Parking: Parking is the train station parking lot, may depend on time of day for availability. Should be free parking after 5.“

“You have the best Pho in the whole Chicagoland. Your peanut sauce for the spring rolls are excellent. I didn’t like the chicken wings, the fried rolls and the pot stickers. But I will go back anytime for the Pho👏 I even bragged for your restaurant to my Vietnamese business associates. When they come to Chicago for a super Saturday event I promised to take them to your restaurant. More power to you and to that young boy Toby. He is a hard working boy. He will go a long way. See you again soon.“

“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.“

“Stopped there on our way to AllState Arena, amazing food, and such a kind owner! Super clean and beautiful inside! We had a vegetarian in our group, and this little gem had so many options for her!“

“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 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!“

“Fantastic Sichuan food with a real kick! ? I had the Boiled Beef in Spicy Broth, and the spice level was just right—tingling but not overpowering. The portion sizes were generous, and the beef was super nice. The service was fast, and the staff were attentive . Definitely coming back for more!“

“Best pho north of Chicago!! We will definitely come back even though it’s about a 30 min drive for us! Great service and great food!“
