"Up by the Roosevelt light rail station, Ong Lam Bistro transports diners to Vietnam with a street scene feel within an otherwise contemporary dining room. Here, you’ll find the chef’s take on familiar Vietnamese dishes, all beautifully plated. The banh xeo is crisped up like a hard-shell taco, while pig ear slices and fried taro batons enhance the varied textures of the pickled lotus root salad. The bo ne’s tender beef proves that anytime is the right time for steak and eggs, while a sauce of fermented tofu spiked with chile makes duck breast with delicate egg noodles simply irresistible." - Jay Friedman
