The Best Vietnamese Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Whenever we’re looking for something that falls in the center of the “Upscale Dinner and Vietnamese Food” Venn diagram, our go-to is Haisous in Pilsen. They have a great $65 three-course, nine-dish tasting menu that’s served family-style, with savory tapioca shrimp dumplings and ca kho with slow-roasted barramundi. But we also like their à la carte dishes, like tamarind crab noodles or whole crispy fish served with lettuce wraps and umami-packed nước mắm. Throw in a modern space with appropriate mood lighting, and it’s the perfect setting for an anniversary dinner or one that involves hearing “Congratulations!” a lot from your friends." - john ringor
