36 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Winnetka

“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.“

“Unassuming little place. The food is ok. The broken rice with beef was pretty good. The doing rolls were hard since the skin dried out .

The sauces are just a bit off but ingredients were fresh.

OnChoy was pretty yum.“

“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.“

“[Pho Restaurant Name] is a hidden gem that elevates the humble bowl of phở into something quietly remarkable. The broth is a masterclass in patience — crystal clear, deeply aromatic, and rich with the essence of slow-simmered bones and spices.

I had the P7, and the rare beef melted effortlessly into the broth. Accompanied by fresh herbs, lime, and crisp sprouts, each bite felt personal and deeply satisfying.
Service was gracious, the space calm and inviting.

In a world of culinary trends, [Pho Restaurant Name] stays true to its roots — and in doing so, offers something far more enduring.“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“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.“

“Service is good and they are staffed up for lunch time. My dry style hu tieu with the tomato/fish/shrimp sarsa was insane. Chased with a thoughtful sidebroth of gio, and finished with a crisp sugacane juice. Under $25, given the sugarcane juice is damn well $10 (well worth it.) But either item is worth a visit at Hai Yen. Can't wait to try their mam this weekend... or just more of what I just had.!“

“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.“

“Miss Saigon on Argyle is straight fire. I hit it for lunch and ordered the Pho Tai (rare beef pho), a crispy shrimp spring roll and a taro bubble tea. Broth was deep and savory, noodles had the perfect chew, rolls were crunchy-fresh, and that boba hit just right. Staff was hella friendly and the dining room’s got a chill, modern vibe. Five stars!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“It’s my favorite place for banh mi in the area. My only issue was they wouldn’t give me a fork when I asked for one. Lady working there said I didn’t need it for a spring roll ? which is fair but I didn’t want to get my hands dirty. Otherwise good food.“

“Great food and great service“

“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.“

“It’s my first time to eat Nhulan Chicago, a Vietnamese cuisine, it was a wonderful experience !!!“

“Recently opened in my neighborhood. excellent egg rolls and crispy fried egg noodles with beef. Will definitely be back once we can eat in.“

“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!“

“Another amazing experience at Le Colonial. The best food, great service and the ambiance is the best in town. Can’t wait until our next visit.“

“9/10
Very good vibe and cozy atmosphere 😀
Very friendly waiter/owner, she was kind, energetic, engaging in conversations and recommendations. 😀😀
Food was very flavorful and has a good variety, both from north and south Vietnam.

Would highly recommend to friends, families and clients.
Have a good dinning experience friend 🙏😀“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“
