The Best Vietnamese Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Some Vietnamese places are best known for specializing in certain dishes, but this small Uptown restaurant specializes in doing everything well. Hai Yen’s shrimp-filled tapioca dumplings or beefy bo la lot are excellent starters. Their bún bò Huế or phở dặc biệt could go for broth-to-broth with some of the city’s best bowls. And for anyone who has a “rice is mandatory at every meal” mindset, pairing it with lemongrass pork chop or saucy bò lúc lắc is a wise move. Hai Yen can get busy with a rotation of regulars during dinner, but it’s never so packed that grabbing a seat is impossible." - john ringor
