    39. Caramelized Fish-sauce Flavored Wings
    Tasha M.

    We got take out, it was so fast and ready to go when I arrived to pick it up. The broth was still nice and hot when I got home. This location is quite big and would be good for groups. I can't wait to dine in soon especially during this season.

    Moved closer to this place and had to try. Went with the filet mignon pho, crab rangoon, fried rice and a beer brewed in-house. Good portions. I liked the pho; it hit the spot on a cold night. The beer was decent. The crowler is huge. The fried rice wasn't my jam compared to what I am used to with that dish. We all enjoyed the crab rangoon. The service was friendly and quick. The space is ok; I went for takeout and there were a lot of seats available. Easy to find parking.

    A surprising and delightful Vietnamese restaurant and brewery is located in the near northwest side of Chicago. An unassuming lime green store front, I stopped here for lunch and ordered their seafood pho. The broth was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The pho was chocked full of shrimp and squid. They also have an on-site brewery if you wish to enjoy a house brewed beer with or without a meal. It's an odd combination, but Pho No. 1 does serve a pretty authentic Vietnamese pho that at a minimum shouldn't be missed.

    Decided to try another Vietnamese restaurant I saw this a few times when I get my spring water by Schiller woods. It's a little overpricey but it's actually very good but there's some differences than how they make certain dishes that are traditional. Instead of using your traditional tenderloin and meatballs for pho they have New York strip they have ribeye and they even have filet mignon I had the rib eye which to me did not taste any different than a traditional beef flankher beef tendon pho. It was fresh like most Vietnamese make their pho soup. I ordered a cane sugar drink which was decently good it wasn't a wow kind of good we're had a unique taste that was appealing. As for their spring rolls with shrimp it was a unique way they wrapped it it was a bit looser and they didn't use as much cilantro a lot more lettuce but tasted fresh a different version of it. Ambience is very modern but it's more of like a bar the way they're trying to display their restaurant service was actually pretty friendly and quick the pho came really quick despite ordering spring roses and appetizer. Otherwise a little pricey but I guess worth it I would come probably every now and then there's not too many Vietnamese restaurants until now on this side of Chicago another one was in Schiller Park I was going to go to called broccoli.

    My friends and I came here for the first time a few weeks ago, and we all enjoyed our experience! From the outside, Pho No. 1 Brewing doesn't stand out much. Aside from the green exterior wall, it's pretty unassuming, and I wasn't expecting much when we walked through the doors. However, as soon as we stepped inside, my thoughts changed. The space is modern, bright, and inviting with a clean, trendy feel. We felt comfortable right away. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. For dinner, I ordered the crab rangoons ($6.50 for 5), which were golden and crispy with a flavorful filling. They were a little crispier than my ideal and were a bit light on the filling, but still enjoyable overall. I also had the beef fried rice ($15.50), which was delicious because the ingredients tasted fresh and the flavors were well-balanced. It's definitely something I'd come back for. My friends both ordered the filet mignon beef pho ($17.50) and said it was good, as well; however, I didn't try it so I cannot comment on that, but I did notice that the bowls had so much green in them and not as much noodles Service-wise, our server was friendly and laid-back. She brought our food out quickly and was on top of refilling our waters without us having to ask. One con of this place is that it's in a residential area on a busy street and houses, so parking can be a pain in the butt. We were lucky and were able to find a spot right next to the building, but I can imagine that it can be difficult to park during peak times. Many of the side streets around here are permit parking, so you'd have to try to park on Belmont. All in all, Pho No. 1 Brewing is worth checking out!

    Since we were in the area (we don't come this way often), we decided to stop at Pho. A brewery that serves Vietnamese food sounds intriguing. Since the brewery is on the corner by residential homes, we had to park up the street and wall down. I ordered the pear cider and orange chicken with white rice. The pear cider has an odd flavor. It wasn't quite "pear." The orange chicken was alright. It could have used more tanginess in the sauce. There were a couple pieces that were slightly cold. Service was okay, too. We were initially greeted, seated, and then served. Since it was fairly slow, I thought our server would have engaged the guests more.

    Not bad! Really cool concept of combining our two loves of Pho and Beer together. The restaurant atmosphere itself is nothing crazy or special and we thought the pho could be more flavorful but overall this place was a good spot to try

    Number 23. Sliced Beef, Flank and Meatball Noodles Soup
    Caryna F.

    Great little place. Ordered a couple of beers. Got some soup. The beef broth here is legit. The bowls are huge. We enjoyed the spring rolls, too. Service was great, friendly and nice. The vibe was Asian fusion. It's a quirky place...part beer bar, and some pretty great pho . Hit the spot. Street parking. Nice place.

    Ate all my meat but awesome noodle and broth taste!

    Always awesome here. I get the fillet mignon pho and it's always so tender. Awesome quality. I got a passion fruit juice to accompany and it was delicious. Such comfort food for me. Defiantly give it a try. Heard great things about their brews and coffee, but haven't tried yet.

    The pho was good ngl. I just felt like there was a lot of noodles and LESS meat. My fiancé and I ordered two bowls and we both felt full halfway. The waitress was both a waitress and bartender. Honestly, she was very busy and handling a lot of customers. However, I felt like the service was lackluster. Whenever she took our order or when she passed by, it seemed like she didn't like her job. The establishment is clean. Not so sure the bathrooms. The prices were average. However expect less meat.

    Stumbled upon this brewery and Vietnamese restaurant while running errands. The interior was super nice and well lit, welcoming on so many different levels. I opted to try their house brewed beers and honestly was impressed at the capacity they had for such a local venue. They had more house brewed options than quite a few "well known" breweries here in the city. Staff was super nice to me and allowed me to try a few samples before committing to the beer I wanted and loved. This is a great option for any time of day and look forward to trying more beers soon

    The Chicken Pho is delicious, just like at the original location on Lawrence Ave. The broth in sweet and has a hint of Cinnamon and comes to your table piping hot. There are ample chunks of Chicken that are tender and flavorful. The Spring rolls are a bit loose, but tasty. The accompanying sauce had the perfect mixture of peanut butter and Hoisin was spot on. All in all, great Pho place and worth a stop!

    Fillet 21a. Filet Mignon Beef Noodles Soup and 1. Fried Pork Egg Roll. Some of the best food and pho around this area!

    Delicious!!!! Five stars! Hot , tasty and the best! Some of the best food I have had this entire trip! Thank you

    The food is amazing. I've had nearly every pho on the menu. WOW! The broth alone is delicious. All other food items are just as great.

    Best pho. So good you could eat the broth by itself with no topping and be satisfied.

    Creative Vietnamese Brunch with Standout Wings, Though the Egg Coffee Missed the Mark…read more HaiSous remains an enjoyable spot for a more modern take on Vietnamese cuisine, with quick, efficient, and friendly service in a polished setting. We came for brunch right when the restaurant opened, and it was only about 25% full, which made for an easy and relaxed meal. The crispy chicken wings were excellent -- fried well, nicely seasoned, and easily a go-to order. The bánh xèo was also very good, served hot and fresh with a crisp shell and plenty of filling, though I would have appreciated more leafy greens and herbs for wrapping. The bánh canh cua, or crab noodles, had genuine flavor, a nice spicy balance, and was served piping hot. The crab meat is broken up into the broth, so you do need to drink the spicy broth to get the full benefit of the dish. The beef papaya salad was just alright. Compared with other papaya salads I've had, I wanted more sourness and tartness to give it that sharper, more authentic flavor profile. The biggest disappointment was the cà phê trứng, or egg coffee. After having the real thing in Vietnam, I was excited to try HaiSous' version, but the coffee was not strong or bitter enough to create the right contrast, there was not much beaten egg, and the drink was overwhelmed by a large amount of whipped cream. It came across more like a very sweet dessert coffee than a faithful egg coffee. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would come back. There are some misses, but the stronger dishes -- especially the wings, bánh xèo, and crab noodles -- make HaiSous worth trying for a creative Vietnamese brunch or dinner.

    I've genuinely only ever eaten tacos in Pilsen so this was fun! This place is very well regarded…read morewith a James Beard, award-winning chef and a bib gourmand so I had high expectations. The interior is quite open and wooden, but still modern and airy. There's an open kitchen which I always enjoy. Service was solid too. I got some sort of pineapple cocktail which tasted very tropical and refreshing! For the food, we split the fried fish (fluke), the eggplant side, crab noodles and crab fried rice. The fish with the lettuce wraps was incredible. Definitely my favorite dish of the night and I would purge anybody to get it if they go there. It fell off the bone, super flavorful and no fishy aftertaste. The sauce with the lettuce wraps was also great! The noodles were forgettable tbh, but the fried rice had nice crab pieces. Overall, a very good spot for a more elevated dinner! It's just a bit expensive, but the portions were nice so I'll give them that.

    We ordered delivery from Sunset Pho and were very impressed…read more We ordered a chicken ginger cabbage salad and vegetarian spring rolls. Portions were pretty large, especially the salad. The spring rolls came as a pair, both long. Everything was packaged well. Both dishes were very fresh with great flavor. The chicken cabbage salad was amazingly good, with the cabbage still having some crisp to it despite being mixed with the chicken and dressing. The flavor was a great combination of citrus and a gingery kick, and some fresh herbs on top made it even better. This place is definitely in our short list for delivery, and we look forward to checking it out in person someday.

    ambiance? 10/10 service? 10/10!!!…read morefood? 10/10!!!!!!!!! this place is SO cute. i love how small and cozy it is, with both table seating and bar seating options. the bartender and servers were so sweet, attentive, and friendly - which, in my opinion, always makes eating anywhere 10x better. i couldn't decide between the pho and the crispy noodles, so i got both... and i'm SO glad i did!!!!! the portions were absolutely huge. the chicken pho was delicious, loved it. couldn't finish it though because the real star of the show for me was the crispy noodles with the beef topping. omg. i died and went to heaven. i was audibly moaning with every bite, yes... out loud!! i will DREAM about these crispy noodles for the rest of eternity. i also got the vietnamese iced coffee, which was DELICIOUS. i spent the whole day walking around lincoln park and thought i'd have to uber home after eating, but after this meal, i felt so rejuvenated i walked 30 minutes home, no problem. so good. so worth it. get in there and tip well. recommending to anyone who loves high-quality food and great vibes.
