The 38 Best Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago
"HaiSous in Pilsen is a remarkable comeback story for Thai and Danielle Dang after they survived financial fraud at their previous restaurant, Embeya. Now, they’re free to focus on food and hospitality. Thai Dang, a native of Vietnam, uses a number of techniques from back home, including clay pot cooking, to create a menu that’s as ambitious as it is unpretentious, with dishes like grilled wild boar with lemongrass. Danielle Dang’s expertise with cocktails should be better recognized, as she pairs drinks to complement her husband’s two tasting menus. Customers can also order a la carte. The Dangs recently reopened their neighboring cafe, so folks can enjoy wings, Vietnamese coffee, and an affordable lunch special. Dang is a 2025 James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes. Best for: Groups, date night, fans of communal dining" - Ashok Selvam
