    This place has been one of my favorite bánh mì shops for years! I've since moved from Chicago but whenever I visit I HAVE to get a sandwich - they're just that good! Their service is always great and their new location is very spacious (now offering dine in service). My go-to is their lemongrass chicken sandwich, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    BBQ Pork Sandwich
    Nisha C.

    I came here for lunch with a friend and we both got the pork bbq banh mi sandwiches and they were delicious! The baguette was fresh and fluffy and the meat was flavored well and there was plenty of filling of carrots, daikon radishes, jalapeño, and cilantro. I love that they cut the sandwich in half for us as well. When you walk in you order at a kiosk, and it was very straightforward and easy and I like that there is water on the side that you can grab before you head to whatever table you would like to sit at. The service was friendly and swift and I would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items and sandwiches. If you are in the area and in the mood for something filling, this hits the spot.

    Well, that was pretty disappointing. All alone in the dining room at lunch, and I finally had to go to the kitchen to flag someone down for service. The secret to a great Bahn Mi sandwich is fantastic bread. This wasn't. It was just a typical roll. And there wasn't a lot of filling, although it tasted okay. Certainly not good enough to name a restaurant after. There are dozens better in town. The rest of the menu is an odd mix of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese foods. We tried the Mongolian chicken and it was decent. With a $20 order you get free egg rolls, and there is a reason they are free. I'm not sure how an egg roll can not be hot. Perhaps they are a frozen product that is baked? The inside was more like ground coleslaw, and just tepid--a bit concerning since they were supposedly "chicken flavor". The Vietnamese iced coffee was good. Although there were some DoorDash deliveries going in and out, there was only one other couple seated during all of Friday lunch, if that tells you anything.

    Saigon Classic Special Sandwich
    Joseph S.

    I got the saigon special classic and I have never seen such a skinny banh mi. When ordering online I noticed that they put ham and was surprised but the ham did not do the sandwich any favors because it made it taste like a regular cold cut sandwich. Additionally, the pate was virtually nonexistent and the bread had a buttery taste. This probably a watered down Americanized version of the idea of a banh mi. I will not be coming back again. I was wondering why it was empty inside during lunch rush time but this sandwich explains why.

    Bahn-mi "lite" ????

    Just to pile on... When the name of the product is the name of your shop the least you could do is be good at making your product. This place is a big swing and a miss. Limp baguette with the most meager of ingredients. Usually the sandwiches are filled with meat and fresh veggies. Luckily we had our own veggies. Flavor was ok... so not a 1 star effort... but damn near. Pho was also OK flavor, heavy on bean sprouts light on veggies with flavor... so again . Prices very typical for the neighborhood, product very typical of someone following ikea instructions on "how to make a bahn-mi" Much better places a few blocks north of here... keep moving!

    Food was good! The place was not crowded at all on Sunday night which I thought was not a good sign but the food taste proved me wrong. Good value too! Only concern was the only restroom ran out of soap and paper towels and even though I told the staff upon the beginning of our visit. At the end when our kids went to use it again, it was still out of soap and towels. I hope they pay more attention to it next time, even more when a customer brings it up.

    BBQ Pork Sandwich

    Got delivery through DoorDash - the food was delish. Banh mi sandwich was mild with a lovely crunch, fresh bread, great eating experience! They were out of milk tea, so instead of canceling my boba order, they called me to ask if I'd want a different flavor. So glad they did cause boba is my comfort food and often the catalyst for the whole order! I really appreciate the customer service! :D

    Curry Chicken Sandwich
    Prashmi K.

    Curry chicken sandwich- (3.5/5) I really liked the flavor of the chicken, but I wish it was spicier.

    Ordered on Uber eats on a whim and although I finished the sandwich, I wouldn't recommend after this meal. The banh mi barely had any meat filing and the seeds were left in the jalapeño. Bread was barely toasted. The Vietnamese iced coffee was incredibly weak- reminded me alot of coffee flavored boba. You know it's not going to be good when it comes in a boba cup. You can find way better banh mi in argyle so save your money.

    Bahn mi grilled beef sandwich is amazing! It's got lot of veggies and a bite! A little spicy and the bread came out warm and toasty :) Vietnamese iced coffee is also very delicious

Crispy chicken wings with caramelized fish sauce sounded adventurous but tasted familiar. These were definitely good but they're not mind blowing so I would probably skip them to try other things if you're on the fence. Oysters were so delicious but I hardly ever think they're not. Wagyu with lemongrass and a chili sea salt was simple but tasty. The grilled eggplant was yummy, paired with pickled shallots, fried garlic, and scallions. Definitely a good one for eggplant lovers like me. The veggie curry was good but probably the least favored of everything we had and couldn't finish it. But we made room for a little dessert! We went with the whipped rice pudding but had it without peanuts because I'm allergic. We didn't really enjoy it much. It was kind of bland and I'm guessing it might be because we omitted the nuts. It was sad to finish on a weak note.

Seeing as we once lived together on a Clark Street, why not dinner on this N Clark St? Following my clinical parallel park job, we entered this theatre of dreams. I'll recognize upfront my bias for sloped ceilings, but this spot ticks that interior box. Sierra Mist colored lighting to make the drinks hit harder and fake skylights that unironically went crazy. Not to mention, this Croatian meets Vietnamese love story was jamming Americana all night long. Soon enough I was white-knuckling the table to keep my cool as the medley proved to be somewhere between erotic and nostalgic. One could rescue a newborn from a burning building and it would pail in comparison to the respect our waitress lavished onto us. Reason being, this lovely lady spent the entire night responding with "yes chef" to any of our interactions. In all fairness, it's understandable to assume our party of mustached men were chefs. Heck, one of us got a diet cola, isn't that a tell too? I say all this to make known the cult status that woman will have in my heart till I breathe my last breath. As for the menu, what a divine collaboration. Sequestered into some back pages lay a section for Balkan fare that served as a platform for the married-in man to showcase his swagger. Truth be told it's this food selection that brought me in and that red pepper spread that makes me stay. This skilled in-law got even more time to shine on the beer list, with my dark Bosnian beer showing every reason why. Tasty lil thing. All things considered, this is still a Vietnamese restaurant. Pho did its thing and embraced the mega serving size stereotype it so firmly holds, but it cannot sit in the poll position here. Brian, my dear friend, voiced that his girlfriend swears by Sunset's crispy noodle. Well folks, Tessa certainly knows ball! While still respectfully conversing through our meal, Brian joined the clean plate club alarmingly fast. Based on my swapski sampling of his platter I can understand why. Clear betting favorite, certified hustler, it's what to get y'all. As we wrapped our meal my other dear friend at the table, John, accidentally stated something that must serve as the slogan for Sunset Pho Caffe. He said, "It elevates the past." By golly it does and I'll raise my glass to that!

They had good reviews and based off pictures, the place looked delicious! I wasn't in the mood for pho (even though the weather was perfect for hot noodle soup) but the Hainanese chicken rice caught my eye. It was a super cute spot, small but luckily we were able to snag a table. There are only a handful of tables and they are pretty close together. It was decorated just as expected, like a Bodega of course! a trendy, hippy little shop. I think the concept is pretty cool. We were greeted by the worker at the counter and explained we can either order at the counter with her or have a seat, scan the QR code on the table and order from there. If you need more napkins, utensils, water, etc. there's a self service station by the door. For two people, we ordered a lot of food! LOL Here's our order: 1. Hainanese chicken rice 2. Salt & Pepper Chicken Skins 3. Phodega Fries 4. The Viet Dip 5. Crack Wings I will say, 5 items at a 2 person table is very crowded lol. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our tummies. Overall, the food was delicious. The gravy for the Phodega Fries was actually pretty good. We helped ourselves to to-go containers at the self service table. 5/5 from me
