42 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Wilmette

“The Mi bo kho was genuinely the best thing I have ever eaten. I wish i couldve personally thanked the chef. Incredible depth of flavor, huge portion, and an assortment of extras to customize the flavor. My friend got the Bun rieu and loved it just as much, great seafood flavor and light but flavorful broth. We shared the bun xeo and loved that as well, especially with the added herbs and sauce! The entire staff were so kind and welcoming. Do not miss this place if you are in the area! And come hungry- you will want to eat a lot.“

“I stopped in here on a very hot and humid day for lunch. I got the BBQ Pork Banh Mi and the Passion cooler. They were both delicious and came out quick. I think I came in not long after they opened, so I was the only one dinning in. The Staff are friendly and I'll come back whenever I'm craving a Banh Mi.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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 stopped in here for the first time today and got two Vietnamese iced coffees. I’m not joking when I say they’re some of the best Vietnamese iced coffees I’ve ever had, and I just got back from a trip to Vietnam!!! They’re the perfect balance of sweet and bitter. I will be coming back!“

“Best pho and spring rolls on Argyle“

“Bún bò siêu ngon. Rất là ưng ý 🥰🥰🥰“

“It Was Good On A Cold Day“

“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“

“Absolutely wonderful, some of the best and affordable Vietnamese food in Chicago! Service was super friendly, a person in our group has an allergy to green onion. The staff went out of their way to redo the food and even come out to apologize! No one even does that?! The food had amazing flavors and while I wish the Bun Cha Ha Noi was served in a bowl with the fish sauce broth, the flavors were excellent. Atmosphere, feels like I’m in Vietnam with my chill RnB playlist (Malcom Todd, Daniel Caeser, Bruno Mars), doesn’t get much better than that. Could not recommend this place enough! The 5pm opening time is not to be mistaken! Also, if you come order the Bo Ne, Bo La Lot, or the Pho Seafood. Truly a wonder deep in the heart of the Chicago.“

“🎊🏮⛩️ 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“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is such a hearty broth, so many warm spices. It was the spot I just went to because it’s open late, but upon trying other Pho spots this stayed at the top. The meat is always such high quality. And the wait staff is are very warm and accommodating.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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)“

“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“

“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“

“One of my go-to’s in the city. The bo ba lot sausages are delicious whether in a banh mi or spring roll. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the argyle area or wanting a relatively inexpensive lunch/dinner option for delivery.“

“Great food and great service“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“Our 1st time there we got the chef special, which is sort of like a sampler plate. Almost everything was delicious. The pho was out of this world. The meat was delicious. The shrimp tofu thing was delicious period. The sausage was so interesting and different and yummy. The sweet sauce was yummy and out of this world. I can't wait to go back and try other things. My partner had the shrimp with vermicelli, and he loved it. The jasmine tea is great, but I'll bring splenda next time. I don't know the name of the dishes but I just read the English. I Highly recommend this small size 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!“

“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.“

“Everything was sooo good! The squid 🦑 cucumber 🥒 salad was delightful! Must try!

We ordered the beef pho special which was $15.95. We have eaten at many pho restaurants in and out of the city, and I mean many! This pho is similar to most places, it's not the best but it's also not the worst. Despite the reviews saying it isn't flavorful, I think the pho was good for the value and I recommend trying.

We also ordered their special combo rice I think it's #505 on the menu for $18.45, such a great value, so much food! It comes with a grilled pork chop, lemongrass citrusy dipping fish sauce, Chinese sausage, an egg quiche, a fried egg, white rice, a little mini tomato lettuce daikon radish salad, and a mini miso soup!!!! Everything was so flavorful! The pork chop was grilled and had such a really nice flavor. The miso soup had a lot of seaweed in it and it tasted rich and warm! I really enjoyed this dish, highly recommend.

We tried their ice soda with lemon which was $4.50 the server told us that they actually make this in-house themselves it's a sparkling lime drink and it tasted like a bubbly lemonade which I really enjoyed, it wasn't too sweet and was very light and refreshing! Highly recommend, especially for the spring and summer!

We also ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls for $5.75. They are huge, well stuffed, and tasty, definitely recommend.

And we also tried their squid cucumber salad which was $8.95. It comes with squid and thinly sliced cucumber and it has such a great tasting marinade. It tasted a little bit like wasabi so it had a little bit of a kick to it but not overwhelming, you could taste a little bit of the soy sauce but it wasn't too salty, and it had such a nice flavor. It was very unique tasting and I really enjoyed it. The squid had a nice texture and it wasn't rubbery or overly chewy. The cucumber paired very nicely with it giving it a nice fresh taste. It comes served cold FYI. If you're an adventurous eater like I am and want to try something new I recommend trying this dish!

Overall, the customer service was great we were seated immediately and we were served our food quickly as well. The server was nice and answered my questions regarding the menu items. The food was also plated very beautifully and aesthetically. The quality of the food was great no complaints.

We ordered two entrees, two apps, and a drink. What a great value for $60! We left feeling satisfied and despite the low ratings, I'm glad we gave this place a chance. We drove by here one time a while back and never dined in bc we read the negative reviews but today we passed by and we decided to try them and Im glad we did, I would definitely come back!

In terms of the atmosphere, the only feedback I have for management is that the restaurant was freezing cold. When we walked in it was like a freezer I wish they would have turned on the heat and made it more comfortable for their customers sitting in and dining in. I had to wear my jacket because it was just too cold. Also the music wasn't it, you're playing some kind of middle eastern Indian type music which I thought was odd given that it's a Vietnamese restaurant. They need to change the music to match the Asian vibe and make it more inviting. For these reasons, I had to give it three stars for the atmosphere. But for the food and customer service five stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They have a parking lot, plenty of spaces available and an outdoor patio which is nice for warmer weather.“

“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!“

“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 😋“

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

“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.“
