The Best Restaurants In Lincoln Park - Chicago - The Infatuation
"3 Asian Sisters is a beacon of hope for anyone that lives in the area or DePaul students needing a quick phở or bánh mì break between lectures that double as nap time. The beef phở from this counter-service Vietnamese spot near the Fullerton Red Line only has a couple of meat options like brisket and meatball, but they’re both tasty and come with a delicate, savory broth. The most flavorful phở is the chicken—it’s light with a comforting saltiness. If you're more of a sandwich person, the bánh mì here is also solid, with delicious options like classic pork roll or BBQ pork, all served on a crackly, soft baguette." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Just in time for soup season, here’s a new place to get pho in Lincoln Park. This Vietnamese spot also has banh mi with lemongrass chicken or pork roll, as well as appetizers like spring rolls and soy-glazed wings." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen

Food Rundown
Chicken Phở
The light broth in this soup is packed with plenty of chicken flavor, along with a hint of onion. A lime squeeze adds brightness to the ideal slurp of broth-laced noodles, shredded farm bird, bean sprouts, green onion, and chopped onion.

Beef Phở
The beef pho here is very light, not too sweet, and not too spice-heavy. Unlike other spots that offer a variety of cuts like tendon or flank steak, 3 Asian Sisters only has brisket and meatballs—we like to get a combo of both.

Bánh Mì
They have a bunch of different bánh mì to choose from, but we like going for the Saigon Classic. The meaty mix of pate, pork roll, and ham is nicely complemented by all of the fresh and pickled vegetables, and the mayo adds creaminess to each bite.

This place feels like sunshine in a bowl. The meatball pho came steaming with that magical, soul-restoring broth that tastes like someone’s grandma has been tending it for hours. The rice noodle salad was bright, fresh, and full of that perfect crunch-to-noodle ratio that makes you wonder why every meal can’t taste this balanced. And don’t even get me started on the mango-passion fruit refresher — it’s like tropical vacation energy in a cup.
Warm staff, cozy vibes, and flavors that make you float a little — I totally get why this spot has loyal fans. 🌿💛

We tried the sizzling plate, pork chop, and crab rangoon, and everything was amazing! The sizzling plate was served hot and packed with flavor, the pork chop was tender and cooked to perfection, and the crab rangoon had a crispy, golden crust with a deliciously creamy filling. Definitely a must-visit for authentic Asian dishes!

I usually try not to leave bad reviews, but there’s no way this place truly deserves a 4.8 rating on Google — it’s misleading. I paid $7.54 today for what might be the worst spring rolls I’ve ever had. They had no flavor whatsoever — just shredded lettuce with some soft, sad, cold noodles, and the shrimp were cut in half, which feels deceiving. The sauce was bad too, and the place couldn’t have been more unwelcoming.

I had the Calamari Patties, and I LOVED THEM. I was actually influenced into choosing them by one of the chefs, and I am so glad he recommended them to me. Speaking of the chefs, the ENTIRE staff is so friendly and attentive!! Not only did they give me an amazing recommendation, but they checked in on how I liked it (AND I LIKED IT A LOT!!!). I got to try my friend's dish as well, and it was so so so so good. I would've bugged him for more if I wasn't full from my own meal!

This unassuming spot at the intersection of Lincoln and Halsted is a clean and bright restaurant serving up delicious Vietnamese food.
The service at the till was alright. Kind. I think the owner or chef came out from the back and checked to make sure everything was OK so that was a nice touch.
The food was amazing. Probably the best Bamh Mi I've ever had. The bun is so perfectly toasted. And the ingredients are very fresh...you can tell this is high quality.

Stopped by 3 Sisters in Chicago and absolutely loved their bánh mì. The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, with generous, well-balanced fillings that tasted fresh and flavorful in every bite. Everything came together so well—the pickled veggies, protein, and sauces were spot on. You can tell they care about quality and execution. If you’re craving a solid bánh mì in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for sure.

I had never had pho before I came to 3 Asian Sisters and told the staff that when I arrived. I asked for a recommendation and the chef recommended the meatballs and brisket. and wow! my expectations were blown out of the water. This was one of the most delicious things I have ever had put in my mouth. I will definitely be back to try some more flavors.

We are so excited to have this restaurant in Lp!
We recently got takeaway from here, service was fast and nice. We got chicken pho which was a huge hit with the kiddos. I got the noodle salad with lemongrass chicken and fish sauce and it was so good. I ate it so fast I barely came up for air.
My husband got the lychee lemonade and I didn't get any before he finished it, he said it was "REALLY good."
We will definitely go back to try more! Welcome to the neighborhood, 3 Asian Sisters!

Recently ordered the chicken pho on DoorDash and it was delish! It was still piping hot by the time it arrived about 20 minutes later which was impressive. The broth was really good and they supply all the toppings you could want which is great. I definitely want to try more from 3 Asian Sisters!

Legit pho! The broth was so good, and appetizers well executed. Friendly service and food came out fast and hot. We tried the brisket pho, Rangoon and wings. All delicious. Vietnamese coffee was nice and strong and not too sweet. We'll be back to try their Banh mi.

Place was very clean. Owner was very friendly. Seem to be a family owned place. We ordered the noodle brown and beef brisket and meatball pho. Very delicious and great portion for the price. Will definitely come back.

Excellent place, good for either a sit-down or a takeout experience. We had Phở, a salad, and Bánh mì, all of which turned out great. Staff are conversational, and strike a perfect balance of being attentive and giving customers their space. Additionally, they have a nice selection of imported drinks.
