    Soft shell crab papaya salad
    Cory Y.

    This place is a nice, clean, Vietnamese restaurant compared to its surroundings. We ordered banh beo and a new menu item: soft shell crab papaya salad. The soft shell crab was amazing and cooked well, the papaya salad was good. As for the banh beo, it was decent but felt a bit plain. Overall, more is expected given the price point (either in quantity or quality". Nevertheless, this place is good place to scratch a craving for Vietnamese food.

    We ordered the Bun thit nuong, pho bo, mi quang, Banh mi chao, and banh beo chen. The banh beo chen was definitely our favorite. We've never had it before so it was a pleasant, tasty surprise! The bun and mi quang were also pretty solid. The banh mi chao was decent but they were sadly out of the bone marrow when we went. The pho was okay but there's definitely better pho in the area. We also tried the egg coffee which I thought was super delicious! DaNang Kitchen has a more unique menu compared to some of the other Viet restaurants around, so I definitely recommend trying it out! I enjoyed all the food we ordered and liked trying new items! If you want pho or a more extensive menu, then I'd recommend going somewhere else.

    Great little gem in Uptown. Pho broth was deep, flavorful and rich in beefiness. Beef was tender. Noodles were perfect. Other dishes like their egg rolls, banh khots and banh xeo were equally delicious. Service was warm and kind. Wanted to order more but just couldn't make room for more...but when I come back I want to try the short rib & bone marrow clay pot!

    Mi Quang - Turmeric Thick Noodles
    June K.

    As someone who mostly only orders pho, I was so excited to try something new. Unfortunately they didn't have their beef noodle soup. With such a small menu I wasn't sure what else to get, but was recommended the mi quang since that was the only other soup besides pho, though its supposed to not have a lot of broth. It was very mid. Pretty mild flavor and the noodles were overcooked, and because they're on the thicker side it made it worse. I loved the fresh greens, almonds, and the sesame cracker, but the noodles itself would be a hard pass. Very mellow compared to other viet dishes I've tried. The service was great though and i'd come back to try their appetizers as that is what lured me to this place. But if you like intense flavors this dish would not be it.

    DaNang is a cute little spot tucked away on Argyle street! It's not very big but there is plenty of seating. Our food came out fast, and the servers were friendly. One note - you pay up at the front! We had been waiting for the bill, but there is a sign to go up to pay. I really appreciated that there was a specific vegetarian section on the menu. There were plenty of things to choose from! I ended up ordering the Pho Chay with a Thai tea. The Thai tea was super creamy, they must have used coconut cream or something. The Pho Chay was really good once you add the fresh mint, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and spices. I liked that it had both tofu and soy protein. I would definitely come back here! Great lunch spot.

    Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ (Five Spice Chicken) - 7.5/10 Crispy with subtle five spice aroma. Pretty juicy and went well with the rice. Mì Quảng - 8/10 Traditional Vietnamese noodle dish with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, crispy rice crackers, and veggies in a concentrated, savory broth! Bánh Khọt - 9/10 Star of the show Perfectly cooked shrimp in mini fried rice pancake cups. Scallion oil + coconut cream + fish sauce = flavor explosion Iced Egg Coffee - 8/10 Creamy, sweet, rich

    Our group of 4 really enjoyed our dinner at this cozy, mom and pop place! There's easy parking around the corner and we were seated right away at the window table. The service was friendly and with good timing. We aren't familiar with Vietnamese cuisine so there was a bit of guesswork with the entrees. They were are all very good, from the grilled pork cutlet with rice and veggies to the veggie and rice platter, vermicelli bowl with shrimp, and spring rolls. The food arrived quickly and the mix of flavors and textures were so good. There's a nice menu of Vietnamese and Thai drinks too.

    Signature noodle dish

    That was fantastic! We saw a TikTok review and decided to check it out. We've been burned by TikTok reviews before so we were hopeful but unsure. I got the signature noodle and my date for the short ribs and bone marrow dish. We also got the spring rolls with almond dipping sauce (they use almond butter instead of peanut butter) which was straightforwardly delicious, and I got the yuzu lemonade and he got the strawberry smoothie. They are clearly using high quality ingredients and good technique. The service was prompt and attentive. The restaurant is tiny, but quiet and clean. It's an easygoing vibe.

    Came here this past weekend for dinner while visiting a friend in Chicago, and it's quite solid. We were a group of three coming in for dinner on a Friday night around 7pm. The venue is well lit and space was cozy. We were met with friendly staff that took our orders after we sifted through the menu for a few minutes. My friends and I decided to go family-style ordered the following: - Banh Khot: tasty, crisp, lighter than other places I've been to (4/5) - Banh Beo Chen: came out fresh, well-steamed, delicious and balanced in texture (4/5) - Com Tam Suon Cha: absolutely yummy! While it's a common dish at many Vietnamese places, the pork was glazed and cooked without heaviness to it. (5/5) - Mi Quang Noodles: this is the popular dish/specialty! My friends and I agreed that it was good, but we wish there was a little more broth in the dish to expand on the flavor. Definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a Vietnamese place with a smaller menu and specialized dishes! The food was good and we were able to leave without feeling groggy. I also just wanted shoutout the staff because a little over an hour after leaving I realized that I forgot my purse at the restaurant. It was about 20 minutes past closing when I called to see if I could get it, and they said they had my purse and would wait for me to come pick it up! Bless their souls! The staff are the sweetest for staying past closing and I really appreciate them for the flexibility - especially the chef, who was the one who stayed and wait after their colleagues left!

    DaNang always looks packed when I walk by, but it was almost empty when we stopped in. Service was super quick and our food came out almost immediately. We split a bbq pork banh mi - the flavors were all great (salty and sweat, with a nice kick from the jalepeño), but I felt like there was less meat than most places. We also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee which was delicious much sweeter than I'd personally prefer (but that's just me - my brother loved it). For our mains, we tried the beef noodle soup and the signature noodle with pork and shrimp. The signature noodle was my fav part of the meal - had the chewiest noodles and most delicious sauce. Only critique is that the pork was fattier than I expected, so wish I'd tried chicken instead!

    Cute little spot in Little Vietnam! The restaurant is small but their menu had a nice variety of items. The restaurant hand a few other patrons dining in when we arrived but the service was fast. They had a nice variety of Tofu/vegetarian items, chicken, beef and pork dishes... including a huge sections of sandwiches! Something for everyone. We started off the papaya salad and vegetarian egg rolls. Both were delicious! I had the com chay, which was rice and marinated tofu with a small side salad. It also came with one of the veggie eggrolls. I am a bag fan of tofu but not everyone can make it flavorful. They did an AMAAAZING JOB! The other members in my party order the rotisserie chicken banh mi and five spice chicken and rice dish. We also split another item... unfortunately, I'm not sure what it was called. I did include a photo of the dish. It was kind of like a fried crepe/korean pancake. It was stuffed with tofu and some veggies. The waiter showed us how to eat it. Break off/cut a piece of the "crepe", wrap it in lettuce, and dip. Like I previously mentioned, I'm a a big tofu fan. I enjoyed the fillings but the "crepe" part was a little too oily for my taste. However, still pretty tasty.

    Egg coffee
    Wayne D.

    Egg coffee: nope, too bitter and too sweet at the same time. Flavor doesn't really mix. Very intense and sharp. Not my thing Sea salt coffee: really good. The closest to the 7 leaves coffee I loved in SoCal Banhmi: nothing special. Crispy bread though Signature Mi Quang: not sure what I was eating. Nothing memorable Crispy shrimp cake: Favorite of all! Love the coconut cake! It's good by itself. Slightly crispy edge with soft middle part. My favorite Vietnam snack!

    Banh mi chao
    Khanh N.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 We tried Banh Mi Chao, Xoi Man (sticky rice), and My Quang (noodles) and they were just ok. The flavors were different from what I thought and it wasn't for me. However, the decorations were great and served in good temperature, hot and crunchy bread was a point. Service was not friendly, the guy who took our order looked upset and scary. We're traveler from CA and really want to enjoy Vietnamese food in different State and look for a good service, really! Ambiance is cozy and made us feel like home! So overall is pretty good!

The biang biang noodles were thick, chewy and bouncy, and like wider longer belts. The texture was actually so addicting and I devoured my bowl almost instantly. My friend got the Szechuan spicy vermicelli pot with beef, but this needed a bit more flavor and spice. Adding vinegar helped!

Forcing an 18% gratuity after providing terrible service and mid food is unacceptable. Be transparent about your policies from the start instead of putting customers in an awkward situation after the meal.
