We ordered the Bun thit nuong, pho bo, mi quang, Banh mi chao, and banh beo chen. The banh beo chen was definitely our favorite. We've never had it before so it was a pleasant, tasty surprise! The bun and mi quang were also pretty solid. The banh mi chao was decent but they were sadly out of the bone marrow when we went. The pho was okay but there's definitely better pho in the area. We also tried the egg coffee which I thought was super delicious! DaNang Kitchen has a more unique menu compared to some of the other Viet restaurants around, so I definitely recommend trying it out! I enjoyed all the food we ordered and liked trying new items! If you want pho or a more extensive menu, then I'd recommend going somewhere else.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

Stopped by pretty late, about 45 minutes before closing. The dining room was almost full, still. Regardless, I got seated immediately. They handed the menu to me. Iced water was served immediately. First time being in this restaurant, I had no idea what I wanted to order. I knew I would love to have a good bowl of hot soup, since it was pretty chilly outside, and I just finished my daily walk by the lake. I decided to get the Seafood Pho (#60) Waiter assured me that I made a good choice! And I certainly hoped that, too. My pho arrived very quickly. It was hot (temperature wise) and had 3 pieces of shrimp in it, plus some other unknown fish ... It had rice noodles what I really loved! The broth was not tasty at all. As a matter of fact, I think it was plain boiled water ... so I quickly added some spices to it from the condiment tray on the table. Obviously I don't know how to make this dish better, but I really didn't like it, ate maybe half of it. I wish the broth was a real soup, like chicken flavored of something ... Anyway, I saw other people were pretty happy with their orders! Probably they knew the menu better than I did. Servers were very nice, polite. read more

Wow! I was definitely impressed and left this restaurant satisfied. My friends and I decided to come here for dinner & we were all really hungry so we ordered quite a few different things to try and share. It took a little long for our food to come out, but service was good. Goi Du Du (Green Papaya Salad) - the flavor was definitely there and it was pretty tasty. I didn't taste much of the beef jerky that was in the dish though. Canh Ga Chien (Caramelized Chicken Wings) - it was good portion and came with steamed rice. The flavor of the wings were good but it was kind of salty. I think even eating with some some rice, it was still a little too salty for me. Bang Khot Tom Trung Ca (Fusion Crispy Shrimp Mini Cakes) - I definitely liked this mix. I have never had fish roe with it before and it was a good combination. It was a good combination with the vegetables and dipping sauce. Mi Quang Tom Thit (Da Nang Signature Noodle) - Honestly it was my first time trying it and the taste of everything together was excellent. I was definitely impressed and really liked this dish. Pho Tai Chin (Pho with rare steak & brisket) - The broth was excellent & clean. You could taste all the different flavors and smell the aroma that's in the broth. Pho did not disappoint me at all! read more
Sure the food was wonderful--more on that later--but what made our first visit to DaNang Kitchen so exceptional was the warm hospitality of the owners. DK is a family affair: Mom's (Sydney) out front with Sis, and Dad's in the kitchen whipping up amazing food. Proprietress Sydney's mother and grandmother were street food cooks in southern Vietnam where street food is an art form. A slow Sunday evening--it's Covid time after all--gave my wife and I plenty of time to share our food experiences from a recent month in Vietnam. The food--marvelous! Shrimp summer rolls, shrimp and pork fried egg rolls, the DaNang Signature noodle dish and vegan pho were scrumptious! In our next visit, we hope to get Sydney to whip up some southern Vietnam family favorites. Hẹn sớm gặp lại! read more

My friend and I stopped in during the Argyle activation walk event. We split: -Bánh Khọt Tôm - Crispy Shrimp Mini Cakes -$12 -Bánh Mì Thịt Heo Nớng - Grilled/BBQ Pork Sandwich with an egg- $5.75 (maybe even more to add the egg) -Hanoi style egg coffee- $6 Everything came out to over $30 after tip!! O_O I think the crispy shrimp appetizer was good! It was all fresh and had good flavor, but it was expensive as an appetizer. The banh mi was good too! It was not a typical banh mi, but I did like it. It was missing the pickled horse radish which usually gives banh mi really great flavor. The jalapenos were spicy though!! Very good haha And you can add an egg to the sandwich too. The one thing I wish this banh mi was is bigger. For $5.75 and compared to the prices on their menu, it's pretty decent. But this banh mi is probably half the size of other banh mi you can get on argyle for the same price. The egg coffee, pretty unique! I'm glad I tried it, but I don't know if I'd order it again just because it's $6 for an 8 oz drink. As for the atmosphere and service, the owner of the restaurant is really friendly and I really like that the restaurant is family owned and small. I will say, it is slightly awkward walking through the kitchen to use the bathroom because there is no space when they are preparing the dishes and you are in the way... But I'm glad they do let customers use the restroom. Also, if you do want some food items that they posted on their Instagram, they might not be available on their menu. Maybe they were just a special or a trial item. There were a few things I really wanted to try that I saw on their Instagram, but the waiter said they unfortunately couldn't make them. Overall, the food is pretty good, the prices are too high for me, but it was a good experience. Would I go back? Maybe... I grew up on argyle food and there are other restaurants that I do prefer going to that have lower prices. read more

First time and certainly not my last time eating at this fine restaurant. The resaurant is small but clean and they are friendly. While the menu in the restaurant does not match the alphanumeric code on the website, the food is still the same. When it comes to the food, the price is pretty good, and it all tastes fresh and looks appealing just like the pictures on their website and menu. read more

My new favorite spot in Argyle, everything is good! The quality was so authentic, fresh and delicious. Next time we're calling the morning of to order the off menu sweet and sour halibut soup (need time to prep it). The owner and her husband gave us so much attention and really made us feel at home. Perk - BYOB! read more

Hello Kimberly! Thank you so much for your kind review! Hope see…
Danang Kitchen does. not. miss. I've eaten here multiple times now, making an effort to try something new each visit. Every single time I am impressed and thoroughly satisfied. Danang Kitchen has many delicious Vietnamese classics, and has also introduced me to delicious central-Vietnamese dishes like Mì Quảng and Bún Bò Danang. I cannot emphasize this enough: everything here is good. The Mì Quảng is my favorite dish of what I've tried, and it is pretty much mind-blowing. They make a mean Cà Phê Sữa Đá (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) here as well, and I say that as someone who has had many many Vietnamese Iced Coffees in my days. My parents are also huge fans of Danang Kitchen, and that means a lot as they grew up in Vietnam and have lots of experience with the cuisine. When they returned to Chicago, the first thing they wanted to do was eat at Danang Kitchen! The owner is very warm and knowledgeable, and the restaurant uses very high quality ingredients: fresh bún, USA-made mắm tôm, etc. The restaurant isn't enormous, but there is a good amount of seating and lots of natural light. Danang Kitchen is quickly becoming my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Chicago, and I will definitely be returning and bringing lots of friends and family with me :-). read more

There is a lot of stiff competition in uptown specifically on Argyle when is comes to finding the perfect bowl of Delicious pho. I can honestly say DaNang is one of my favorites. You can tell a lot of Care energy went into the creation and presentation of the broth. I would also like to mention that the interior of this restaurant is extremely clean. Everything down to the details so what they are watching on television goes to show they care gone into this Vietnamese cuisine. I will say that they did not have very many vegetarian options I was hoping that they would have at least veggie egg rolls however the potstickers were a good substitute. The broth was by far the star of the dish it was so Succulent in flavorful it had the perfect hent of spice. My only complaint was the wait. But if you have time the I would most Definitely recommends you giving DaNang a try. 4 out of 5 stars read more

I love this restaurant! I find it hard to come by good Vietnamese food in Chicago and am always skeptical of trying new restaurants, but I'm so glad I tried DaNang Kitchen! Their mi quang is probably their most popular dish and it is indeed very good, but my favorite thing to get is their bun cha ha noi. I can't wait to try other dishes from this restaurant! read more

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for giving us a chance to served you and…
This place was good! A bit pricey in my opinion and I will say my only qualm is that after trying four dishes...there's a lot of fish sauce in everything. Like a lot. To a point where I couldn't finish a dish cause I was so fish sauced out but that could be our own fault, as the menu is huge and there are plenty of other dishes to try and more variety in taste. Overall though, had a positive experience here! The shrimp cakes were decent- a little too oily and overpowering with fish sauce (again) for me, but I enjoyed trying them. I absolutely loved the papaya salad- the papaya was so fresh, with a mix of tangy and spicy flavor. The chicken with the rice was moist and the skin was so crispy. I also like the danang noodles but again...with all the fish sauce in all the dishes I was pretty done at that point haha Loved the flavors though and loved the staff. Good experience. read more

Bánh Mi Chão was a dilectable experience and is available only for a limited time. As featured on instagram at @Danang_Kitchen, the sizzling meat was buttery soft and the pork pate was full of flavor that complimented the fried eggs. The meal was all pulled together by a delicious crisp baguette that served as a vehicle for the rich bone marrow. An amazing meal for anytime of day, but is only available Sunday, TOMORROW. Will be returning soon! read more

I don't say this lightly but DaNang Kitchen may be the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to and I've been to a lot of them around the country - including in fountain valley! This isn't your run of the mill pho or banh mi shop with the same generic menu. The chef takes extra care to curate a menu that is representative of the Danang region and ensures every dish is plated nicely and rocking some crazy flavor. This is a family run restaurant and they really make you feel at home and Sydney the owner is a fantastic host. If you have questions about what you should order don't hesitate to ask her and she'll guide you to something delicious. Below is a review of what we've had so far. Danang signature noodle: sooo good, def a party in your mouth. Be sure to ask for the special soupy sauce to give these noodles an extra tangy and spicy punch. Papaya salad: oh man this might be the best papaya salad I've had. The papaya was julienned very fine and were so crunchy. Lots of bright acid, freshness of the mint, texture of the beer jerky/almonds, and just the right touch of spice made this dish really stand out. Wings: also excellent and even better when paired with the papaya salad Grilled pork dishes: the meat marinade they use is fantastic and you really can't wrong with any dish featuring marinated grilled meats. Pho: pretty good but if you need to scratch your pho itch but not as unique as the dishes mentioned above unless you get the oxtail version which is different and amazing. Sydney recommends the short rib version also - which we'll have to get next time. Bun bo: this is a good option if you haven't tried bun bo yet and want a break from pho. We live an hour away but find ourselves finding excuses to drive into Chicago so we can grab some food from this fine establishment. Do yourself a favor and please check this place out! read more

Staff are very friendly and I really want to be a fan of any family restaurant, but the food look better than they taste, and I am a bit disappointed. Ordered The Vietnamese spring rolls and the crispy mini cakes - they're OK, but the spicy beef noodle soup and the chicken noodle can be better. Friend said the beef had a weird smell (maybe it's because of the herb used in the soup? I did not know for sure because I didn't try it), chicken in my noodle did not taste fresh but I wouldn't say it was spoiled, maybe just not what I expected (and I have been to at least 5 other Vietnamese restaurants in this area) read more

Was craving Vietnamese food on a Monday evening and my friend had been raving about DaNang Kitchen so my boyfriend and I went to try it out. It's a very small restaurant but it was pretty quiet at 7 PM. I appreciate that this restaurant has a small and concise menu that highlights their favorites, small plates, noodles, drinks, and desserts. Other restaurants with large menus are super overwhelming and lead to decision paralysis. I knew what I wanted after looking through the menu. We got a nice spread of food and everything was around $15 which is not bad! The Mi Quang had really good flavor and the shrimp were pretty big. We left feeling very happy and satisfied by the yummy food. read more

Came in on a cold Saturday night around 8pm. The place was about half full. Right away, I was able to get a table and take a look at the menu. From previous Yelp reviews, I knew I had to get the mi quang. It was my first time trying this dish and I really liked it (thanks Yelp)! The broth was very rich and complemented the noodles, meat, and eggs perfectly. I don't remember seeing this dish at other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to, so I definitely recommend coming here and trying the mi quang! Service was friendly and quick as well. I will certainly come again! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Argyle (the hood). I have tried the dry vermicelli noodles with Fish sauce and grilled meat in each and every restaurant in Argyle. This is my favorite one. Im just obsessed with the dish and I have it once a week. This spot serves in my opinion the best in the block. I often order the grilled pork one, they offer other meat options and probably vegetarian with tofu. They always treat us nice here and come to our table to talk to us, offer us extra spicy home made sauces and more. Other dishes here are also very good, the Phos are all good, and the spring rolls are also very good. I love the place, specially for Lunch! Feels like a family-run-bis. I really appreciate them! read more

I went in an the place was empty. I asked if they expected any big parties, it is Saturday. She said no so I took the big table in the window. It was a good table and had a good view of the street. It was not the huge menu that the other Vietnamese restaurants around have but it as sufficient . I ordered what they called Summer rolls that I call Spring rolls. They were generous and had a different sauce. I am used to peanut sauce but this was sweet. I will get back to this. they were very tasty. On the menu I was tossed up about a main dish. The soup selection was tempting but the noodle section had one that had their noodles that they are known for. I had to try that dish. The noodles were rice and I usually like glass noodles but these were very good. The dish had beef and large shrimp. I am not supposed to have shrimp but the description looked so good that I had it anyway. It smelled heavenly and even the shrimp were wonderful. There were some cracker type of thing on the side that were good enough that I would have eaten a ton of them. The dish had a lot of vegetables with some on the side to add. It was a real treat to eat there. Being an old man I always go to the restroom before I leave. On the way back I met the chef. I asked about the sauce replacing the peanut sauce. He told me that they serve an almond sauce because his son was allergic to peanuts so they had nothing with peanuts in the restaurant. I had actually figured something like that. The chef, an older fellow, was personable and j]had the feel to him of a man that really knew the kitchen and food. It was a wonderful meal. The prices were fair. Toward the end of my meal 5 young people came i and sat in the middle of the restaurant. As I was returning to my table 3 more ladies came in. I usually sit and read but the table was so nice and I knew the younger folks would love it. I told them that the table would be free as soon as I could leave, They were polite and gave me a feel for the place that even the customers were worth sharing a restaurant with. Try this place if you like Viet food. read more
