50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Chicago

“Awesome food! Prices are really affordable and the food is very very tasty. The server gave us some food recommendations and explained very well about the menu. Portions are big, I ordered one appetizer and one entree for me and my husband. We are definitely coming 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.“

“The pho broth, meat, and toppings were very generous and delicious. One issue was I ordered the chicken pho but found chunks of beef intestine and quail egg (?) in my soup, and my friend did too. Very odd. Service was very quick though and the restaurant was quite busy. I had bun bo hue at an earlier date and that was also very authentic and tasty.!“

“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 !!!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“The food and service here are so so good. Every dish is delicious. We love the chicken wings, the crab fried rice, and the whole fried fish. It is always seasoned perfectly, and fried to the best crisp. Cocktails are always really good as well. We were there in a group of 8 and our server was so helpful with ordering the right amount of food for a group that size.“

“Quality BBQ with a Chinese/Vietnamese twist. You can find Umamicue at Little Victories and Spilt Milk Tavern. Smoked crab rangoon is a classic but made with real crab and an added Smokey flavor ?… and the meats…the meats… gimme all the meats“

“Truly a hidden gem! I never would have found this place if it wasn’t for google maps :). They had so much good stuff in here. I got the banh bao (still warm), banh gio (freshly steamed), banh tieu, some eggrolls & some flan! I loved that the banh bao was full of hard boiled egg & sausage & they didn’t skimp on those fillings. The banh gio was still super warm when I got home and hour later. And OMG the flan was the bomb!!! It was so silky & smooth. I think it’s cash only but totally worth it & the cashier was super nice. I didn’t try any of the tofu & soy products this time but they looked good. Everything was fresh. Will definitely be back to get my viet snacks & sweets fix. Come early to get more of a selection.“

“the resturant is beautiful and the seafood was very flavorful.“

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

“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.“

My top picks: 🍗 Ginger Chicken Perfectly seasoned with ginger, grilled onion, and soy sauce – so flavorful and satisfying. 🍜 Pho They’ve nailed it! Each bowl comes loaded with onions, scallions, cilantro, and all the fresh fixings like basil, beansprouts, and lime on the side. Comfort food at its finest.

Note that there isn't a place to sit down and eat. Only take out.

“oh my god the food was so delicious. i also think it’s hard to find good vegetarian pho that tastes good but this was delicious. the vegetarian spring rolls were also fire and the fried rice was good. the restaurant itself had an interesting atmosphere but hey the food was fire.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“Incredible beef bone broth, and pork and shrimp broth with egg noodles. Very generous with the meats, and vegetable toppings. I really enjoyed the provided sauces especially the chili oil with dried fish of some sort. The space is basic but the food and business owner-chef warms you right up. Excited to try more from the menu“

“Just finished eating my Banh Mi, I stopped in while working and im really glad I did. The girl at the counter was super nice and sweet, I shouldve gotten her name cause she honestly made my day. The BBQ pork bahn mi was one of the best ive ever had and full of flavor. I'll be coming back to try their other stuff.“

Parking: The restaurant is located inside the mall next to the Seafood City grocery store. Huge parking lot- never an issue finding a space

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

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

“My first time there, and the food was great. Service was okay. But large portions- they’re very busy but try their best to accommodate everyone. Clean restrooms and restaurant. I would go back.“

“Food is great - carry out and dine in.
My family's go-to items are Pho, fried rice, and pork chop rice dish. Always consistent and delicious.

Interior of restaurant is a bit run down, but clean. Has space for larger groups.“

“I was craving a sandwich, so we stopped in for lunch. From the eggrolls to the bao tacos to the brothless noodles and chicken, everything was great! There is street parking outside and the place itself has plenty of seating. The service was less than great which was the only negative.“

“We’ve been regulars at King Pho for a long time, and this review is long overdue! Every visit is met with the same friendly faces and consistently delicious food. The dishes are always fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care—healthy, satisfying, and easy to enjoy.

We love everything from the pho to the Vietnamese coffee, banh mi, bubble tea, and shrimp rangoons. The quality is always spot-on, and the prices are great, making it an incredible value. Plus, they have a fantastic kids' menu, which makes dining here even better for families.

King Pho is a true neighborhood gem, and we’re so happy to have it as our go-to spot. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything from food to service was 10/10. This was my first time trying Le Colonial and I have to say I’m a huge fan, definitely coming back to try some of the other dishes. Everything on the menu looked so appetizing, there wasn’t a single item I wouldn’t want to try. I got the chicken and mushroom ravioli and pork and shrimp rolls to start off. Both were amazing! I also got the shaking beef and chicken fried rice. The beef was cooked to perfection and went so well with the sauce and greens. The fried rice had a great flavour and it was a generous portion. For dessert I got the warm chocolate cake, it was so soft and moist and paired perfectly with the ice cream. I also tried their lychee cocktail and it was really good. Everything is reasonably priced. The atmosphere is really vibey, very french. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Great food and great service“

“Solid solid place. No wait service, just order and wait for your food to be called. Don’t let the environment worry you. Food ain’t elite, but it is just overall solid comfort food with fair prices. We passed on the viet food, but got the Korean. Can see how other reviews say wait can be a bit long if they busy, so be mindful of that. No public bathrooms!“

“Best Vietnam food on Argyle. Clean and delicious. Good service. Only concern is the server always heavily spraying the surface cleaner on table that just left while we still eating and the fumes are spreading. This is chemical hazard and cross contact for food code.“

“Excellent selection. Great atmosphere.“

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

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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!“
