30 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Harwood Heights

“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!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

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

“It Was Good On A Cold Day“

“The broken rice platter with pork, egg, and their home made fish sauce is my favorite broken rice dish ive had. Reminds me of my hometown. If you grew up eating this, it's a must to try it here. If you've never had this dish, this is a good spot to try it for the first time. If you take a little of everything in one spoon full bite, the flavor is seriously really good. And its consistent everytime. The sauce is 👌“

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

“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!“

“Really like the cold cut #1 banh mi here! I'm an avid banh mi fan in Vietnam so I have been in search of a good banh mi in Chicago. I have heard that the banh mi is made in house so the crust is flaky and is the exact replicate of the banh mi I had in Vietnam. My only suggestion that maybe the pate can be a little bit more savory and that would be perfect ☺️“

“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.“

“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 can't believe how authentic this vegan pho tasted. so inanely flavorful and SALTY but so worth it. might be the best pho i had in chicago honestly - i've had so many but nobody has been able to recreate real flavor like this. #yum Updated from previous review on 2026-09-19“

“The Banh Mi sandwich was honestly one of the best ones I've ever had. The lemongrass chicken was juicy and flavorful. The bread was exactly how it should be (crunchy outside, soft and fresh inside). All the veggies (carrots, daikon, cilantro, cucumbers) were fresh. The sauce was a perfect amount which brought everything together beautifully.“

“Food was excellent, service can use a little bit of work. I asked for extra limes they seemed to intentionally ignore the first request and then upon reminder seemed a bit annoyed. It’s just limes guys overall the food was great would revisit but if I revisit again and service is the same would not go back even though the food was excellent.“

“The food came out fast and the meat was tender. The Pho tasted SO GOOD!! Definitely a hidden gem“

“I love PHO and they do an awesome meal of PHO. I will definitely return!“

“My favorite pho place I go here every week sometimes 2-3 times they know my order already and have great customer service. I live 30 minutes away but I make the trip because it’s honestly the best pho Ive had very flavorful I can tell they simmer it for hours just how I like it i wish they were on Uber Eats so I could order from home but it’s worth the trip🫶“

“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!“

“Casual storefront on Touhy with some of the best Vietnamese food that can rival Argyle St.

Portions are generous.

The Pho here, at least for the Chicken and Duck, are more rustic/on the bone. Rich stocks and BIG flavor with plenty of protein. You are more than likely going to take the rest home, because this is a BIG portion.

I'll be back“

“Great food and great service“

“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!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“Good place to eat“

“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!“

“Always a pleasure visiting this restaurant. Great food, nice people.

This Vietnamese restaurant offers Japanese dishes too. We always enjoy their wide varieties of food; the servers are always friendly and food served just on time. The quality and the quantity of the food was always reasonable to the price.

I highly recommend trying their sweet potato tempura, egg roll and bbq pork spring rolls.
Their smoothies are delicious too and I believe they use real fruits.“

“Delicious food & cocktails!“

“I love this place and everything on the menu is delicious 😋“

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