“A solid menu of Vietnamese food in a comfy space just steps from Bryn Mawr station. They frequently have very affordable lunch specials. I had lemongrass chicken and it was divine. The portion was huge so there was enough for me to take home for a snack later. I'll be back!”
“Some of the best Vietnamese cuisine you can find in Chicago! After a blistering snowstorm, pho is the perfect remedy. Upon entering this restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the kindest owner. The pho here is incredible, and the broth is so flavorful and soothing on a winter night. We also enjoyed the spring rolls, and the Thai tea is super rich and creamy. If you’re in Edgewater, do not miss out on Little Vietnam!”
“After being denied due to a crazy long line for Paper Machete my friends and I decided to warm away our blues with some pho. We knew we could just go up the block to Argyle Ave but that also seemed to be pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon so we did a quick search and came across Little Vietnam just a little further north and drove that way. It’s a great spot with a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes at reasonable prices. The combination pho I ordered had a nice broth with a decent amount of sliced meat and noodles. The shrimp spring rolls I ordered as an appetizer were also really good and I liked that all of the vegetables in the rolls and as toppings for the pho tasted crispy and fresh. My friend ordered a pork banh mi along with his soup that looked really good and it was big enough that he was able to take half of it home for later. The staff were very friendly. They did say that they could only take cash or Zelle payments at the time due to their card reader not working but that was not a problem for us. The inside has a very relaxed feel. Our waiter offered us a free fried banana dessert which was very appreciated. Next time I’d probably order some coffee to go with it.”
“This is a local gem with great Vietnamese food. I really enjoy the lemonade, eggs rolls, pork spring rolls, wonton soup, and pho. Parking can be tough. Cash only right now.”
“Delicious food, fast service, friendly customer service!”
“We absolutely loved our banh mi! We tried the meatball and the fried pork, and while both were delicious, I have to say the fried pork was my personal favorite. Our noodle bowl was also incredibly tasty. The food here is fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend.”
“Decent pho, báhn mì, and other popular dishes, also clean and friendly, good spot north outside of Argyle. Wish they would be open on Wednesdays for lunch...”
