The Best Restaurants In Lakeview - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Bright, airy, and with a menu full of some of our favorite Vietnamese dishes in the city, Sochi is a great spot for a casual date night or a small group lunch. Decorative greenery, upbeat techno music, and a frequently busy dining room give this Vietnamese restaurant energy and warmth that makes shoveling snow feel like a myth. And that vibrance carries on to the food. From the incredibly light egg rolls paired with a tangy fish sauce, to the fragrant ginger dressing of the seared duck salad, to the Shaking Beef’s buttery filet mignon, the food is full of exciting combinations of sweet, spicy, tart, and umami flavors. If conversation at your table is boring, at least the complexity of the dishes can keep things interesting." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
