Where to Pick Up Picnic Food For Chicago’s Parks

"Banh mi sandwiches are an excellent on-the-go food and the finest ones can be found at this Vietnamese restaurant and bakery in Uptown. Try the house special that consists of paté, headcheese, ham, pork roll, and veggies on freshly baked bread, or order a few spring rolls. Nhu Lan is also within walking distance of Montrose Beach." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

I walked in with one person in line ahead of me, giving me time to look at the menu, which consisted of Banh Mi sandwiches. The place is filled with bright reds, yellows, and fresh air from all the plants hanging around. I almost wanted to ask if I could purchase one of the plants they look so happy and healthy! It was my first time there so I wanted to trust and try their signature meal, which is the number one the Nhu Lan Special. After ordering, not even five minutes later, my sandwich was ready to roll. There are two different types of meats featured in this sandwich that are about four times the thickness of a typical deli cut. If you are a crunchy person, this has crunchy fresh cucumber and daikon on top of the crunchy loaf of bread. The sandwich is filled with bright flavors of cilantro and raw jalapenos, flavorful meat and pâté, mayo, and a baguette to honor the flavors within. The overall the flavor profile is sweet and my stomach is happy.

First time trying this place. Bahn mi sandwich was very good. Good size and flavor. The lady behind the counter was very nice and the prices seemed very reasonable. Would highly recommend checking this place out.

Such amazing bahn mi! Immediately my favorite spot for it and a top place for takeout generally. Great flavor and served on really nice bread. And at good price! I felt it was a nice value. The lady working there was nice too.

Definitely has taken the top spot for my favorite Bahn Mi in the city. No frills setting with classic and extremely well executed menu. The bread was perfectly crunchy, delicious savory meats and pate, and the perfect contrast of fresh veggies and herbs. In addition to the sandwiches I noticed they had some beautiful, crispy roast pork and duck that I’m definitely going to be ordering next time too!

My type of comfort food is banh mi. Như Lan has so many options you can choose from. My favorite or go-to is the special (#1). My tip for you is to get the veggies toppings separately so that you can save your banh mi for later or another day. I also like to give a good squeeze or press to the banh mi before opening the wrapper (I’m not a big fan of the crust so this helps breaking them up). I like mine a little softer. Như Lan also offers a lot of desserts, drinks, and BBQ items (like roasted duck, chicken, crispy pork, bbq pork). Everyone is very nice here so that’s a plus. Definitely recommend Như Lan if you haven’t had banh mi before.

A go to place for Viet desserts, banh mi, and roasted meats. I often get the freshly baked bread or roast duck or pork by the pound , it’s amazing. Can get busy, long waits, and there is only a small waiting area so maybe call or order ahead.
