Soft shell crab papaya salad
Cory Y.

This place is a nice, clean, Vietnamese restaurant compared to its surroundings. We ordered banh beo and a new menu item: soft shell crab papaya salad. The soft shell crab was amazing and cooked well, the papaya salad was good. As for the banh beo, it was decent but felt a bit plain. Overall, more is expected given the price point (either in quantity or quality". Nevertheless, this place is good place to scratch a craving for Vietnamese food.

Papaya salad with soft shell crab. Daily special. 11/10
Sarah A.

Papaya salad with soft shell crab was a daily special and was incredible. Soft shell crab was perfectly fried and papaya salad had great flavor, it was just pricey for the portion. Bun beo was disappointing to eat after the papaya salad and lacked flavor. Service was quick, but you need to ask for water if you want it.

Mi Quang - Turmeric Thick Noodles
June K.

As someone who mostly only orders pho, I was so excited to try something new. Unfortunately they didn't have their beef noodle soup. With such a small menu I wasn't sure what else to get, but was recommended the mi quang since that was the only other soup besides pho, though its supposed to not have a lot of broth. It was very mid. Pretty mild flavor and the noodles were overcooked, and because they're on the thicker side it made it worse. I loved the fresh greens, almonds, and the sesame cracker, but the noodles itself would be a hard pass. Very mellow compared to other viet dishes I've tried. The service was great though and i'd come back to try their appetizers as that is what lured me to this place. But if you like intense flavors this dish would not be it.

Great little gem in Uptown. Pho broth was deep, flavorful and rich in beefiness. Beef was tender. Noodles were perfect. Other dishes like their egg rolls, banh khots and banh xeo were equally delicious. Service was warm and kind. Wanted to order more but just couldn't make room for more...but when I come back I want to try the short rib & bone marrow clay pot!

DaNang is a cute little spot tucked away on Argyle street! It's not very big but there is plenty of seating. Our food came out fast, and the servers were friendly. One note - you pay up at the front! We had been waiting for the bill, but there is a sign to go up to pay. I really appreciated that there was a specific vegetarian section on the menu. There were plenty of things to choose from! I ended up ordering the Pho Chay with a Thai tea. The Thai tea was super creamy, they must have used coconut cream or something. The Pho Chay was really good once you add the fresh mint, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and spices. I liked that it had both tofu and soy protein. I would definitely come back here! Great lunch spot.

I used to live in Andersonville, and about five years ago, while searching for highly rated Vietnamese restaurants around Argyle, I came across this place. I remember trying their traditional noodle dish and, of course, their Vietnamese coffee. Fast forward to this year, I finally came back, and I'm so glad I did. The coffee flight was the highlight of my visit. It was such a fun way to experience different takes on their traditional Vietnamese coffee, and every cup was delicious. Their deconstructed bánh mì was also fantastic, creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I'm happy to say this place is just as good as I remembered, if not better. I'll definitely be back, and this time I won't wait another five years!

Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ (Five Spice Chicken) - 7.5/10 Crispy with subtle five spice aroma. Pretty juicy and went well with the rice. Mì Quảng - 8/10 Traditional Vietnamese noodle dish with shrimp, pork, quail eggs, crispy rice crackers, and veggies in a concentrated, savory broth! Bánh Khọt - 9/10 Star of the show Perfectly cooked shrimp in mini fried rice pancake cups. Scallion oil + coconut cream + fish sauce = flavor explosion Iced Egg Coffee - 8/10 Creamy, sweet, rich

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our dinner at this cozy, mom and pop place! There's easy parking around the corner and we were seated right away at the window table. The service was friendly and with good timing. We aren't familiar with Vietnamese cuisine so there was a bit of guesswork with the entrees. They were are all very good, from the grilled pork cutlet with rice and veggies to the veggie and rice platter, vermicelli bowl with shrimp, and spring rolls. The food arrived quickly and the mix of flavors and textures were so good. There's a nice menu of Vietnamese and Thai drinks too.

Egg coffee
Wayne D.

Egg coffee: nope, too bitter and too sweet at the same time. Flavor doesn't really mix. Very intense and sharp. Not my thing Sea salt coffee: really good. The closest to the 7 leaves coffee I loved in SoCal Banhmi: nothing special. Crispy bread though Signature Mi Quang: not sure what I was eating. Nothing memorable Crispy shrimp cake: Favorite of all! Love the coconut cake! It's good by itself. Slightly crispy edge with soft middle part. My favorite Vietnam snack!

Came here this past weekend for dinner while visiting a friend in Chicago, and it's quite solid. We were a group of three coming in for dinner on a Friday night around 7pm. The venue is well lit and space was cozy. We were met with friendly staff that took our orders after we sifted through the menu for a few minutes. My friends and I decided to go family-style ordered the following: - Banh Khot: tasty, crisp, lighter than other places I've been to (4/5) - Banh Beo Chen: came out fresh, well-steamed, delicious and balanced in texture (4/5) - Com Tam Suon Cha: absolutely yummy! While it's a common dish at many Vietnamese places, the pork was glazed and cooked without heaviness to it. (5/5) - Mi Quang Noodles: this is the popular dish/specialty! My friends and I agreed that it was good, but we wish there was a little more broth in the dish to expand on the flavor. Definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a Vietnamese place with a smaller menu and specialized dishes! The food was good and we were able to leave without feeling groggy. I also just wanted shoutout the staff because a little over an hour after leaving I realized that I forgot my purse at the restaurant. It was about 20 minutes past closing when I called to see if I could get it, and they said they had my purse and would wait for me to come pick it up! Bless their souls! The staff are the sweetest for staying past closing and I really appreciate them for the flexibility - especially the chef, who was the one who stayed and wait after their colleagues left!

DaNang always looks packed when I walk by, but it was almost empty when we stopped in. Service was super quick and our food came out almost immediately. We split a bbq pork banh mi - the flavors were all great (salty and sweat, with a nice kick from the jalepeño), but I felt like there was less meat than most places. We also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee which was delicious much sweeter than I'd personally prefer (but that's just me - my brother loved it). For our mains, we tried the beef noodle soup and the signature noodle with pork and shrimp. The signature noodle was my fav part of the meal - had the chewiest noodles and most delicious sauce. Only critique is that the pork was fattier than I expected, so wish I'd tried chicken instead!

Cute little spot in Little Vietnam! The restaurant is small but their menu had a nice variety of items. The restaurant hand a few other patrons dining in when we arrived but the service was fast. They had a nice variety of Tofu/vegetarian items, chicken, beef and pork dishes... including a huge sections of sandwiches! Something for everyone. We started off the papaya salad and vegetarian egg rolls. Both were delicious! I had the com chay, which was rice and marinated tofu with a small side salad. It also came with one of the veggie eggrolls. I am a bag fan of tofu but not everyone can make it flavorful. They did an AMAAAZING JOB! The other members in my party order the rotisserie chicken banh mi and five spice chicken and rice dish. We also split another item... unfortunately, I'm not sure what it was called. I did include a photo of the dish. It was kind of like a fried crepe/korean pancake. It was stuffed with tofu and some veggies. The waiter showed us how to eat it. Break off/cut a piece of the "crepe", wrap it in lettuce, and dip. Like I previously mentioned, I'm a a big tofu fan. I enjoyed the fillings but the "crepe" part was a little too oily for my taste. However, still pretty tasty.

Signature noodle dish

That was fantastic! We saw a TikTok review and decided to check it out. We've been burned by TikTok reviews before so we were hopeful but unsure. I got the signature noodle and my date for the short ribs and bone marrow dish. We also got the spring rolls with almond dipping sauce (they use almond butter instead of peanut butter) which was straightforwardly delicious, and I got the yuzu lemonade and he got the strawberry smoothie. They are clearly using high quality ingredients and good technique. The service was prompt and attentive. The restaurant is tiny, but quiet and clean. It's an easygoing vibe.

Here are my pros amd cons: Pros - Its a local business - Quite - Great selection of pastries, sandwiches and bread (food was DELICIOUS) - They have wifi - Plenty of room to do my work when I want to get out of my house - Everything is made in house Con - Customer service. I didn't go there to get red carpet service, however I did expect a simple hello. Unfortunately, I felt like I was bothering the girl behind the counter. I walked up, said hello, and all I got was a stare. I mentioned that I have never been there before, in the hopes that she would make a suggestion. Not a peep. I asked her about the blend of coffee of the day. She literally said...."Its the coffee of the day". - Long story short, she didn't want to be there, didn't care about customer flow. Almost everyone that came in had to wait for her to stop talking to the back of house bakers. Almost never smiled. Its to bad that she wasn't taking her job serious. That place if great and I recommend going there. My hope is that the owner reeducates the employee on how important it is to simply say "welcome" or "hello". Many small businesses are closing down in this neighborhood. Customer service one of the easiest ways to get people to come back.

They move really quickly so you don't have to wait too long for your items. I've been going to Phlour for years and they've invested a lot into renovating the inside of the cafe. It's a completely different place since I first started visiting but the food has remained consistent. It does seem like they reduced the number of plugs which makes working from the cafe much harder. The music is also a little loud so I wouldn't take important calls from here but it's a good place to meet up with people. The pastries at Phlour are still top tier so I still visit to grab a quick pastry. The baked goods are on the pricey side but the cinnamon bun and quiche are worth it. Some of the other pastries are on the smaller side, so not worth the price but they are very tasty.

Really great vibes inside: the coffeeshop and bookstore combo is the ultimate cozy pairing!…read more Didn't have too much time to browse at the bookstore, but I ordered a seasonal strawberry matcha latte and an americano from the cafe. The americano was nothing special but refreshing on a summer day. The seasonal strawberry matcha was a bit disappointing, due to the lack of matcha flavor (the color was not very vibrant, and the matcha powder itself was likely not super high quality or oxidized) and sweetness. However, I tried the strawberry corn cookie, and it was one of the most delicious cookies I've had. Corn in dessert has been one of my favorites, and the texture of the corn with the strawberry icing to make a sweet and slightly tart summer treat was incredible! Everyone working there was super kind, and if I had more time to hang around, I would definitely bring a laptop and work here.

On our way to class recently, we stopped by The Understudy Coffee and Books for the first time to…read morecheck it out. The coffee shop was bustling and almost full around 12:30 pm. We were lucky to grab the last small round table for two.  The pastry case was only 40% stocked at this point. We were happy that they still had our favorites -- 2 almond croissants ($14 for 2) and a cappuccino ($5 + $0.50 Oat Milk) to go.  The cashier was very friendly, patient, and welcoming. The decor of the store is modern and charming.  There were a variety of seating options, and many customers were working on their laptops while enjoying their drinks, giving the café a cozy yet lively atmosphere. The bookstore occupies about half of the space and features an impressive collection of books focused on drama and theatre.  If you are interested in theatre, this thoughtfully curated bookstore is for you. We noticed a sign indicating that The Understudy partners with Defloured Bakery, which also partners with a long list of businesses, including another coffee shop in the neighborhood that we frequent a lot. We have enjoyed almond croissants and other baked goods at that café very often, they were just as delicious and large, since they were sourced from the same bakery. However, The Understudy charged $7 for an almond croissant, while the other café charged only $4.50 for the exact same pastry. That's a significant price difference. The cappuccino was another slight disappointment. It was only lukewarm rather than hot, although I am not sure whether the oat milk substitution may have affected the temperature. Judging by how popular The Understudy was during our visit, it's clear that many people appreciate its ambiance, curated bookstore, and friendly service. If those qualities are important to you, you may find the higher prices well worth it.

Previous review: I really enjoy their beverages and I keep coming back. That being said, there is almost no price transparency. The only prices they have on their menu are for the THC additions. I've mentioned this to the owner twice (he's a cool guy) but he has always sort of shrugged it off. It bothers me every time I'm in. Sometimes my latte with oat milk comes out different prices. Price transparency is so important for consistency . Not including the prices is a bit elitist, especially when the average drink is $6-$8. You should want folks to come in and comfortably order what they can afford. I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration. The drinks are good and like I said, I keep coming back but this has been a sticking point for me for a year plus.
