    I've been here many times and it's always been really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is spacious and service is quick and the food is always delicious, especially the pho.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite is the oxtail pho. We recently did takeout and I decided to try something different. We ordered the white fish, the pancake And the spring rolls with duck. It was really delicious, especially the fish. The pancake was a nice surprise and unique. It's a great neighborhood spot

    The food and service is always superb. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the fish tank and they seem to have an area for a DJ and or stage for performers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I accidentally ordered a Diet Coke but they gave me one without caffeine.

    I came here on a summer day when it was particularly hot and humid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant smelled dank.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thought maybe the A/C or exhaust was broken.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then the waiters came out. Not sure if they still work there now but they did not smell good. They are of a certain ethnicity which is different from the cuisine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel really bad to say that it gives me poor hygiene vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did place my order nonetheless, for takeout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had to leave the place because it smelled like dirty laundry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did comeback to pick up the order. This maybe gross but I still ate the food and was still delicious. I'd be wary to go back again. The lady owner (I suspect) was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish the place cleanliness would be better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]spot is accessible af (not too far from the train or free parking) and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came here on a Wednesday evening with my partner. I was in the mood for some bun bo hue because of how cold it has been in Chicago. I ordered the pork and shrimp spring roll as an appetizer to start us off because I was really hungry. The sauce that came with the spring roll was a little weird to us so we ended up using hot sauce that was on the table. The Bun Bo hue was really good. I wish they had the pork knuckle or pork blood in there but other than that, I don't really have any complaints. The soup was really good and then there was a good kick of spiciness in every slurp. I was really satisfied by the end of the meal. My partner just had the regular pho with flank steak, but in a large size. He was super satisfied, so that was a good sign. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is really big but I guess when we went at 8pm they had closed off half of it since there weren't a ton of customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner was really nice and our orders were taken pretty quickly. I will definitely keep this place in mind whenever I'm in the area because the noodle soup that night really slapped.

    This is my friend and I's go to Pho place on the North Side!!! We've been multiple times and they don't disappoint. It's a family owned restaurant with friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did a walk in, which we usually do it's rarely super packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Heads up, they didn't have wine this time. Not sure if it's a new change going forward or it was just that time.

    . Prior to attending an event at The Aragon Ballroom, my best friend and I had dinner at this restaurant. We both chose to have large bowls of Steak Pho accompanied by duck spring rolls. The Pho was delicious, featuring a richly flavored broth and savory steak. Our server was a friendly young woman, and the gentleman who assisted her was also helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the restaurant could use some updates and better maintenance of cleanliness, I would be happy to dine here again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    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.

    We had the oxtail pho it was flavorful. You get a lot for how much it is. Priced reasonably. The…read morepho noodles are thick. The broth was fresh. My only problem with the oxtail is that it was very tender... it didn't fall off the bone. It should've been cooked a bit longer. The dish itself did not look how I expected it to. It was underwhelming aesthetically. I wouldn't order the oxtail pho again. However the taste of it was pretty good! It made me want to try different kinds of pho. The service was okay, the girl server had an attitude, it wasn't that busy and she told us she was having a bad day... for whatever reason. The ambience was really nice. I really like the decorations in there. My only issue was the booth area. The table was not leveled for a suitable pho experience. The table sits very low to where you have to hunch over while you eat. The water, napkins etc. are right at the entrance. Where people are passing by, not very sanitary. But aesthetic makes you forget about that. The food was good though so I definitely come back to eat a seafood pho.

    I thought I was boarding the plane to leave Chicago, but after getting delayed for a couple hours,…read moreI decided to head back to the city for an extra day. After smelling the chemical fumes that's always present at airports, I tend to always crave something soupy and comforting. Phodega was near where I was staying, and my friend and her roommate also heard positive reviews on the food here. We arrived closer to 8 PM last Monday and were seated immediately. Their menu is a hodge-podge of popular Asian street food and snacks. It was a bit random, but I guess that's why it's... Phodega. PHO BO (BEEF) - 16.95 +3 for extra ribeye The broth was really strong and flavorful, very meaty and beefy. However, the noodle to broth ratio was a bit too high for me. I really liked the broth too, and there wasn't much of it after the noodles sucked it all up. Adding the extra ribeye beef helped balance it out, which was a good call for me that night. My friend got the "Not BBH" and didn't really like it, and her roommate absolutely despised the Korean Style Dumplings. Definitely get the beef pho at Phodega because it did the job for me besides the overwhelming amount of noodles.

    5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

    Ambiance - neighborhood gem, casual, offers small dine in area…read more Service - order at kiosk upon arrival, self serve, pick up food at counter Food - pho broth was aromatic, sliced beef was slightly different than what I'm used to (it was marinated, not the typical rare un-marinated sliced beef)
