“This place is a local gem!!!! Everything I've ordered was fantastic! Love their pot stickers, crab rangoon, and their egg rolls! Kenny makes all the sauces in house!!!! The smoothies and Japanese sodas are faves with my kids. Wonderful spot and great people that work there!“

“Nha Hang gets a lot of hype and it lives up! The pho tai is absolutely phenomenal. It is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. A massive portion that also has an appropriate amount of noodles and beef. The broth is pure and so impeccably balanced. It was an absolute pleasure to eat. The vegetable spring rolls are also good. I cant wait to come 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.“

“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.

“Can easily be my new go-to spot for pho. Tasty pho ga (chicken pho). Paid cash, but didn’t get coins back as part of the change, so I took off one star. They also accept card.

Plenty of free parking available in the lot next to the restaurant.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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.“

“I've even driven almost 2hours just to enjoy the food here . I Live in a small town in Wisconsin .

I truly appreciate this restaurent for giving me a little piece of home every time i come
Highly recommend .“

“Miss Saigon is a Vietnamese restaurant with genuinely good, flavorful food that feels fresh and well prepared. The dishes have a clean taste, not overly salty or heavy, and the ingredients come through nicely. Portions are solid, and everything I tried had that comforting, home-style flavor you expect from a good Vietnamese place.

The atmosphere is simple but pleasant, and the service was quick and friendly. It’s an easy spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal without any rush. If you’re in the area and want something tasty and satisfying, this is a great place to stop for a good Vietnamese meal.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I had the Pho Tai and it was great, super fresh and full of flavor. The broth was on point, and everything tasted really clean and well made.

Service was great too. The food came out fast, the staff was super friendly, and the place had a nice, vibe. Clean restaurant, good people, great food. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“It has quickly become one of my favorite spots! Been here three times, and the food is consistently delicious, and I especially appreciate that the ambiance is perfect for conversation. My first visit was at the bar with my manager, and we really enjoyed the tapas-style dinner, sharing different plates. My second visit was with a good friend, and I had your signature red snapper dish. As someone who is Cambodian, it immediately reminded me of how my dad used to cook our catfish... it was absolutely delicious! Most recently, I tried the sea bass, and as expected, it was very delectable. This is definitely a spot I plan to keep visiting!“

“It's unoffensive middle of the road pho. say you were growing up in some flat Midwestern State. Ohio, for instance. You're like 12 years old and you have dinner with a friend of yours house. Their mom makes meatloaf. When you get home your mother asks you to have dinner was. You say it was fine. You mean it. It was the same meatloaf every mother in the neighborhood makes and it was completely fine. You would eat it again. That's this place. it's fine. I'll eat it. I don't really have anything bad to say about it but I'm not going to rave about it either. The lady that took my order was pleasant. I got served about 5 minutes after I ordered. If that. It was hella fast.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ngon bổ rẻ :)

I really like this place. It’s the most authentic compared to the ones around. They handmade everything. It’s their handmade meatball that made me keep coming back. It’s a big place too so I never have to wait.“

“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 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!“

“Glad to have found a good Vietnamese restaurant in River North. My husband and I go there at least twice a month. We love the pho there, I especially love the pho bo vien. Their vermicelli with grilled chicken is also great, very refreshing during the hotter months. I keep ordering their bac xiu coffee so I haven’t gotten around to try other drinks on their menu yet.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy Pho soup“

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