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.

My uncle introduced my fiancé and I to this place during July 4th week, never ate here before but we will next time! This place looks very clean and well organized. Nothing is left on table that looks unsanitary. So we came here for sugar cane drinks! It is very good here! Also it surprised me that it came in Halloween cups! It made me so happy! Love the holiday spirit! read more
Ever since I found this place back in July, I find myself continuing to come back for their amazing Vietnamese food! I still stand by my previous review and wanted to further update it slightly. My boyfriend and I actually came in yesterday for dinner. However, my main intention was to go and order a decent amount of an appetizer dish for the following day for a potluck at my clinical rotation site as I am currently in pharmacy school. I know for larger orders that a lot of restaurants prefer that you gave them at least a 24-hour notice just so that they can make sure they can prepare your food on time. Because this was somewhat of a last minute decision, I thought I'd ask if I could order 5 orders of the shrimp summer rolls and would not be butt hurt if they told me "no" since it was my fault that I didn't give them enough notice. But alas! They said they were able to do it for me but it might take a bit to make but the wait was worth it. We ordered dinner (2 M3s, which is their rice plate) and Thai teas to sip on while we waited for the big order. The rice plate was so delicious that both my boyfriend and I devoured our plates, with no stones left unturned. We didn't even wait that much longer in my opinion. Once we finished dinner, we probably waited like 5-10 extra minutes and the summer rolls were ready! Our server, Alex, was amazing as usual and always has a smile on his face whenever we see him. He was very attentive to us and made sure that we were enjoying our food! Kudos to Alex, we love you! Hopefully you didn't find it weird when I asked for your name lol. Overall, always a great experience when I dine here and I will always be coming back whenever I crave Vietnamese food! Keep up the good work and probably see you soon! read more

The banh khot is perfect, crispy with a soft coconut richness. Pho bo here is in my top two favorite pho's in viet town- variety of quality meat and spot on with depth of flavor, my only critique is it's slightly on the sweeter side although that's a personal preference. Mi quang is solid, chewy noodles that absorb the broth, tender pork slices, shrimp and quail eggs cooked just right. Overall great experience, would bring my parents with their discerning taste for Vietnamese food here. read more

Small menu but that's probably because they are a new restaurant. My bf got the egg coffee and he really liked it! He said it was very rich. We ordered an order of banh khot for an appetizer and both got a rice plate. Really loved how they marinate the pork. Very tender and flavorful. Rice to pork ratio was even. I say this because usually when I go to vietnamese restaurants they slap like 2-3 pork slices on your plate a bunch of daikon and veggies and a small portion of rice. As for the rice plate I just tried it was one bowl of rice to one slice of pork. To me that was just the right amount. Service was really nice and friendly. Cant wait for them to expand their menu and try more things! read more

Great coffee, good service. We didn't eat so I can't speak to that. I was craving some hot condensed milk coffee and it did not disappoint, super strong and sweet. Recommend taking cash if you are just getting coffee. read more

My husband and I live in the neighborhood and what a treat to discover this little gem! The restaurant itself was very clean and decorated and furnished very simply with an updated modern feel. The music was also not the typical music you would expect to hear. The staff was attentive and so helpful when it came to explaining the food and giving suggestions on how to eat one of the dishes that we ordered. The food was presented beautifully and simply and tasted so good. We will definitely be back on a regular basis. There is nothing we like better than supporting small "mom and pop" type businesses. read more

The food was so-so but the real problem was the giant hair in my Thai iced tea. I understand these kinds of things happen in restaurants sometimes but when I pointed it out to the guy who ran the cashier he just said oh, I'll bring you another one. No one apologized, no one offered to comp it, nothing. It was as if they have not done anything wrong. read more

One of my favorite restaurants on Argyle street! It's a cute and cozy restaurant, the perfect place to catch up with friends and family. I recommend the banh khot with tobiko and Mi Quang. Not only are they one of the few restaurants that offer it on Argyle, it is absolutely delicious! Make sure to make room for dessert! Oh, and the best part is the owner. She is so nice and welcoming, she always makes it a point to make sure you are happy. Feels like home : ) read more
