I am from California traveling to Chicago…read more I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The bun bo hue was flavorful, and the rice with pork chop exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other places I've tried. The goi cuon is only $5.50 for two rolls, while other restaurants charge around $7.50. I highly recommend this spot. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, although there's an ATM inside.

This restaurant is a little hard to turn into from the busy roads nearby Harlem-Irving plaza, but worth it for the delicious food within and great prices. Note that this spot is cash only, but the servers will warn you before you order and there's an ATM within the restaurant. On my visit here, I tried the appetizer combo which was served quickly, hot, and in the usual enormous portion. The chicken skewers have a ton of meat though it was a little overcooked this time for me. The shrimp rangoons are flavorful and crispy. Spring rolls have a tasty filling and nice crisp skin. The fresh spring rolls are the standout item here, with a great texture, bouncy noodle texture, and a good amount of shrimp that pairs well with their peanut sauce. Overall, worth a visit for anyone who enjoys Vietnamese food and a lot of food at a great price.

Not may restaurants serve Jasmine tea. It was such a treat that they had it! Delicious. For appetizers we had the Vietnamese spring rolls and the pork belly. Outstanding. Everyone you just have to eat here it's so good. The pork was crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and chewy on the inside. Juicy too. It was so good. I wish they had just brought out a small bowl of it. The spring rolls were generously stuffed and the peanut sauce it came with was on point and only enhanced by the table hoisin sauce. I would eat here daily if I could. Anyone who lives in this area is so spoiled to have this down the street. For the Pho, I had the meat combo so I got a little bit of everything. My only feedback would be that the veggies that come with the soup are sparse and I wish more Thai basil came on the plate. They loaded up on the bean sprouts though and that was awesome. Really I am being picky and everything here is top notch. The place is smaller so I'd recommend visiting on off-peak hours so you can spread out and relax with some tea. I really enjoyed myself here. Really, what are you waiting for? Go!

Unfortunately our normal Vietnamese Restaurant was closed today, we made the choice to venture out…read moreto a new one. We ordered two Banh Mi sandwiches (extra pickled vegetables, and no cilantro). Easy enough. We received two sandwiches, that had shreds of pickled carrots and the skin off a cucumber. The sandwiches were soggy, not sure why since there really wasn't any pickled vegetables. I do have to say that the coconut shrimp was good, that is why we gave it 1 star. I was so hoping this was going to be a great place to get a Banh Mi sandwich in Glenview. "Disappointed Glenview Resident"

I honestly judge places on how well they pack food to enjoy at home--especially spots that pack soup. Everything was packed perfectly. The soup came in a big container, with the meat and all the accoutrements packed separately. The taste was divine, and I even had some left to enjoy the next day. I can't wait to come back and dine in.

But today we settled with mostly Vietnamese food. On a middle of the day Saturday, the restaurant was pretty open and we were able to sit at a table with no wait. I hope this changes for them later because the food was great! Also, they had iced Vietnamese coffee which is a personal favorite. Lastly, I even bought some food home for my wife. Update - even after eating leftovers, the food was still great! 5/5 will be back soon!

They bring out two different spicy oils. The one with the mini peppers and oil is much hotter than the chili oil. The service is slower than I expected but very friendly and you can hear them making the food so you know it's fresh. We also ordered crab Rangoon which was pretty typical but a nice appetizer. I ordered the Thai Iced Coffee and it was very bitter even with the condensed milk they add. Overall, I would like to return. Excellent restaurant.

My wife and I have been coming to Dung Gia for almost 9 years, and at this point I can honestly say…read moreI've tried every single dish on the menu -- and then some. There isn't a single weak item here. Everything is consistently fresh, balanced, and made with real care. After almost a decade of eating here, I can confidently say this is the best Vietnamese food in the entire city... and yes, that includes the spots on Argyle. One of the biggest reasons Dung Gia stands above the rest is their approach to seasoning. They use little to no MSG, which is almost unheard of nowadays. A lot of Chicago restaurants -- especially around Argyle -- rely on extremely heavy MSG and oil to artificially boost flavor. It might make the food "pop" at first bite, but it's not real cooking, and you feel it afterward. Dung Gia's dishes taste clean, fresh, and naturally flavorful because they're made correctly, not covered in shortcuts. If someone is used to heavy-MSG places, they might think the flavors here taste "different" -- but that's because this is how Vietnamese food is supposed to taste. Once you adjust, everything else feels oily and artificial in comparison. And the service? Always fantastic. The staff has treated us like family for years. They're kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the experience you're having. Even when the place is busy, they're fast, friendly, and on top of everything. It's rare nowadays to find a restaurant where the food and the service are BOTH consistently this good. My wife and I hardly eat out anymore, but when we do, Dung Gia is literally the only place we choose. Even though we live closer to Argyle, we will happily drive right past all those restaurants because nothing compares to this place. The quality, the consistency, the portion sizes, the freshness -- it's unmatched. Whether you go for the pho, the clay pots, the stir-fried noodles, the salads, the broken rice dishes, or the vermicelli bowls, you're getting a meal that tastes homemade, not mass-produced. After almost a decade of dining here, I can confidently say: Dung Gia isn't just good -- it blows every other Vietnamese spot in Chicago out of the water. If you haven't been here yet, you're genuinely missing out on the best hidden gem in the city.
