Sochi is a Michelin recognized Vietamnese restaurant in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. We were able to sit at the bar with no reservation. All of the dishes and everything on the menu takes vietamnese dishes and elevates them. Really delicious and unique flavors and really enjoyed the brisket pho and crab fried rice. The staff is great and friendly and got great service while we were there. If you are looking for something new and different this is a great spot to go to. read more

When I first went to Sochi it was amazing but I feel like something has changed & this past time I noticed questionable billing on the receipt. I ordered the deboned chili salt chicken. The chicken was pretty good, tender, decent flavor profile. The buttered fries weren't for me- a little too rich. The waiter was friendly and helpful, though (I hate to say this) had a musky odor that lingered a bit after he left. The person who sat us (he's served me a couple times now) has a demeanor of being annoyed and unenthusiastic about being at work. I get it, work sucks, but don't make people paying for service feel like they're inconveniencing you if you work at a restaurant. Finally, I guess it's on the bottom menu, I only noticed a $6 "restaurant charge" after I paid. These hidden fees seem very questionable and I feel somewhat taken advantage of / ripped off by it. Particularly if they expect guests to tip on top of this service charge- it's a shameful money grab. Sochi has dropped from a top pick to very mediocre in my opinion. The food is still good but the service & bad bill behavior needs to be cleaned up. read more

Quaint and bright restaurant with a twist on classic Vietnamese dishes. The slap yo mama crab fried rice was really good. The jumbo prawn dish was my favorite, the sauce was sweet and perfect with the rice and refreshing salad. The shaking beef was tender and the bone marrow fried rice was seasoned well. The servers were attentive and the food came out quickly. Definitely worth a try! read more

Fantastic Michelin Star restaurant in the heart of Lakeview. All the dishes were fantastic and they have a wide variety of drink and brews. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is fun and retro. Also, if you have a concert at Schubas, this is a great pre-game since it's right across the street. read more

Very cute place, plenty of street parking. The gin and juice is great. Spicy chicken wings was really good. The bone marrow fried rice was good but I don't think I would order it again. Would def come back read more

We popped our Michelin cherry by trying Sochi and what an incredible place. The ambiance is classy but inviting. I highly recommend you make reservations to make sure you get a table. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. The shaking beef was perfectly cooked - so tender and delicious. I enjoyed the bone marrow rice that came with it. The Slap Mama fried rice was also delectable - the crab really adds that special something to the dish. The vegetable curry actually tasted like home. So much TLC is taken by the kitchen, it's so delightful. There were a few dishes that were sold out, but we are MORE than willing to go back again to try them. Sochi was such a special treat! Thank you. read more

Wow, so glad I finally tried Sochi! It's a beautiful space and the food is incredible. My party and I shared four appetizers and four entrees. Each and every one of them was outstanding. Highlights included the Grilled Betel Beef, Deboned Chili Salt Chicken, Slap Mama Crab Fried Rice, and Shaking Beef. We enjoyed several bottles of wine with our meal, and pricing for everything was a great value. Service was excellent all night. The only dud was dessert: we shared the cheesecake, which really wasn't that good. Still, I'm giving this place five stars. Also of note, the bathroom is clean and beautiful. Can't wait to become a regular here!!! read more

Sochi Saigon Kitchen - Grilled Betel Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Took my mom here for her birthday. It is really nice and bright inside. Felt clean and trendy. The staff were really nice and the owner even came out to talk to my mom in Vietnamese, when we were asking about the details of the menu. The food was pretty good. Everyone's favorite was the shaking beef. I was a little skeptical because the meat in the version my mom traditionally makes can be a little chewy, but the filet mignon was great. It had great flavor and texture. We also got the grilled betel beef, crab fried rice, and short rib clay pot. The betel beef and crab fried rice were ok, though I'd probably try something else next time. The short rib clay pot was a stew and the short rib was also very tender. Overall we enjoyed our experience and it was nice to go for a special occasion! read more

I was a little suspicious about this place at first. But after eating here, I have to say I absolutely loved it! The cocktails were so good... I got something with espresso in it and it was good but slightly too sweet for my liking. My friend got this spicy cocktail and that was super delicious; I wanted to bite into the Thai chili so badly but my spice tolerance decreased since I just got back into the states from Italy and Spain. My friend got one of the salads and that was good. The nuoc mam/nuoc cham was super yummy with the salad. I got the Thit Bo Kor/kow and that was super good; reminded me of how my parents make it. The service was super fabulous. The staff was so sweet and kind... I recommend having a reservation before going here but I am so thankful they were able to squeeze me and my friend in last minute when we walked in. The ambiance was super trendy; the space was bright and bigger than I expected. Great for dates or having dinner with a few friends. Overall, I highly recommend coming here! read more

This was my first time here and I was blown away! I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurant, but the dishes here had their own twist and are packed with flavors and so addicting. You will have trouble stopping yourself from wanting to lick the plates clean! We got the chicken wings, pho, and short ribs. The wings were crispy and coated with a deeply savory sauce. The crunchy fried garlic and the thinly sliced celery added another dimension of flavors. The pho's broth is so clean and clear, yet so rich and comforting. Our favorite was the short ribs -- omg each bite just melted in your mouth. It was a satisfying ratio of lean and fattiness while the meat and daikon soaked up all the flavors from the rich broth. I totally get why they would include bread on the side; I absolutely used them to sop up all the meat juices and broth. By the end of the meal, there was only about half a cup of short rib broth left, and I took it home anyway to eat it with rice! I will definitely have to come back to try more dishes! The service was great! The atmosphere was very modern and cozy! read more

TLDR: DEFINITELY WELL DESERVED MICHELIN BIB. It's my new fave. We came here for dinner on a double date and literally everything was tasty! We ordered 8 or 9 dishes (a combo of starters, salad, and mains) for the 4 of us and it was a little too much food but we still ate it ALL. *burp* Definitely get the Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice, the Short Rib Claypot (available on Fridays and Saturdays only), and the Spareribs!! I could've had 4 or 5 of those spareribs it was so good. The lemongrass and fish sauce marinade is finger-licking good! There's some serious umami in the crab fried rice that just makes you wanna keep eating it--and that's exactly what I did. Every bite was nice and crabby. The Short Ribs in the claypot were so tender and flavorful. The toasted baguette they give you for dunking in the broth was the perfect touch. The egg rolls were solid but most egg rolls are. The Pho was super warming and comforting but not everyone thought it was worth the $25. (Also, Phodega is my go-to joint for copious amounts of yummy pho for less than $20.) The service was fast and friendly and the ambience is modern minimalist chic. There are a lot of house plants which give welcoming vibes. read more

I recently dined at Sochi Saigonese Kitchen in Lakeview, Chicago, and it's safe to say this spot has earned a place in my heart. The decor is welcoming and upscale. We started with spring rolls, a refreshing and light appetizer, and the original egg rolls, served with fresh mint and lettuce and a dipping sauce. The egg rolls were amazing. It's no wonder it is one of the most popular menu items! For my main, I ordered tonight's special--Sun Rice, served with an egg on top of rice and pickled vegetables and an egg quiche. Normally, I order the Duck Salad with banana blossoms, and there's a reason I continue ordering it! I love the tender duck with crispy skin so much! The special was excellent this time as well. I tasted my husband's Shaking Beef, and it was full of flavor! He also likes the Slap Mama crab fried rice. We concluded with the Coffee Flan, mm, it was so good. Think delicious iced coffee plus creamy flan. My husband and I had the pleasure to meet Chinh, one part of the husband-wife team behind Sochi, and her passion for the restaurant was clear. This is a labor of love, and it shows. Thanks for an excellent meal! read more

I can see why this is restaurant is Michelin rated. All the food was flavor packed, fresh and delicious. The plates that the food came out on were shipped from Vietnam by the owner and I loved all the detail on the bowls and plates. Service was friendly and food was brought out at a surprisingly fast pace. Standouts for me were the spring roll, the chicken wings, and the crab fried rice. The chicken curry wasn't as strong in the curry flavor and it didn't impress me as much as the other dishes. But the chicken was tender and the presentation was really great. The original spring roll was so fresh! I loved the basil and the peanut sauce. Everything went so well together. The soshi chicken wings was perfectly crispy, juicy and tender. The green sauce went so well with the celery garnish. The crab fried rice had large chunks of crab was was flavor packed but not overwhelming at all. I loved the bites of shrimp and fish eggs with the rice. There's plenty of paid street parking around the area. Unfortunately there was only 1 women's bathroom to serve the whole restaurant, but there was lots of floor space with lots of tables. I loved the open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs work and prepare the food. Thanks for a great dinner! read more

I loved Sochi Saigon Kitchen and give it a 5/5 stars, and let me tell you why: First, the ambiance is extremely refreshing. Nestled just south of Wrigleyville, the open-aired atmosphere of Sochi with the smell of sweet Vietnamese food is so nice and enjoyable. In regards to the service, our waitress and the owner of Sochi were so welcoming towards us the entire night as they answered all of our questions as guests from LA who wanted a quality dining experience. Since we were there on a Friday, I did the short-rib claypot special which is only served on Friday and Saturday and it was BOMB. The stew broth was unreal in my opinion, and being able to dip the baguette into it was heavenly. This place is a must try if you are in Chicago. read more

A friend referred this place, and now it will become one of our go-to's for Vietnamese food. The flavoring is so delicious and authentic. Loved the crab fried rice, steak vermicelli salad, and the flan dessert. Look forward to coming back to try more dishes! read more

Food: the pho is really rich! Flavorful and not overly greasy Service: I went solo as a treat for myself and sat at the bar, the waiters are attentive. However they seemed unhappy that I left a 17% tip given that they charge you 3% on the bill to "offset costs" which I think it's kind of bullshit since everything is more expensive than last year anyways. And their pho is more expensive than other Vietnamese joints. They even threw away my take home box when I went to the bathroom :( Ambiance: elegant, I would say more suitable for a formal dinner or elegant friends meetup than a casual joint. read more

We made a reservation which required a non-refundable deposit, and noted that this was for a special occasion. We arrived at 5pm, and were the only party in the entire restaurant. The first words out of the host's mouth when we were sat were, "you only have 90 minutes" -- this table has another reservation. I looked at the menu, and there was a $6 "Restaurant Surcharge" on all bills. So, I basically had the choice of walking out, and paying the cancellation fee, or staying for a rushed dining experience, with a fee that wasn't disclosed prior to coming in. 40 minutes into dining, we were still the only party in the restaurant. I wanted to leave as soon as possible, so we ordered only an appetizer and salad. They charged $8 for a hot tea (a non-alcoholic beverage -- neither of us had any alcohol). I have no idea how this place made it on the Michelin guide (they don't have a star or anything) -- but Michelin typically has minimum standards for service, etc. We've eaten out at hundreds of restaurants in Chicago, and I can say that this was by far the most disrespected I have ever felt. At the time we paid the check, we were still the only couple in the restaurant. For a salad and appetizer, the bill was $60 after tax and a 20% tip. read more

Finally had a chance to go to Sochi with family in town. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Can't wait to go again. Highly suggest making a reservation and requesting to sit by the windows if you like the ambiance of a bustling city! read more

Finally got a chance to check this place out. I had planned to do takeout, and when I online to place my order, each item was $2 more than what was on their online menu. I decided to call it in, the woman was really nice, but it was still the same price. These restaurants really have to start updated their online menus. It's one of biggest pet peeves in the food industry. Anywho, I placed an order of their Spring Rolls, Saigon Pho and Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice. The spring rolls came with shrimp, pork, rice noodle, lettuce, herbs and served with a side of peanut sauce and crushed peanuts. These were actually really good and refreshing. A very light way to start a meal. The Saigon Pho I felt could have used more flavor. I only tried a little bit; but haven't really been a big fan of taking out Pho or Ramen. Like to eat that stuff inside the restaurant. Felt like they could have given us more Hoisin sauce to add to the pho. It was served with grilled brisket, flank steak, cilantro, holy basil, and bean sprouts in a beef bone marrow broth. I'm a sucker for rice and knew I had to order the Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice. While it's certainly on the pricey side, they definitely don't skimp out on the crab meat. This was also served with shrimp, green onion, egg yolk, butter garlic sauce, masago, cilantro and scallions. The slap to mama seasoning really went well with the rice and the shrimp and crab. This dish was delicious and would definitely considering ordering this again, but I will most likely dine in next time. read more

I was excited try this modernized Vietnamese spot. The space is bright and trendy. What we ordered was good, not amazing. But it's nice spot to dine at if you are looking for a nicer ambiance and plating compared to a typical Vietnamese restaurant up north. I liked the original egg rolls. I haven't seen them prepared this way before and the were nice and crunchy. I thought the slap mama crab fried rice was mediocre. I would skip this if you are really looking for the crab flavor to come through. Prices are definitely a bit high, but that seems to be the norm nowadays. read more

Ok so like the pho was good but it's not what we wanted. Like tbh when you go to a restaurant and they have "run out of this" and "run out of that". I get fresh ingredients and being like cool and healthy but like when everything you order is unavailable it's disappointing. Oh my god reading this out loud I sound like a Karen eewwwwww cringe!!!!! But like it's upscale dining come on they didn't even have CHICKEN. BRUH. read more

Sochi has been on my radar for awhile! I was so excited to finally check it out last week. We started with the original spring rolls, spare ribs, and roasted eggplant. I thought the ribs had a nice flavor with a great sauce but were a bit tough, and the spring rolls tasted slightly gamey. Would skip these next time. Next we ordered the slap mama crab fried rice, ben thanh market salad, and the shakin' beef. The fried rice was tasty although fairly simple, and the filet mignon was extremely tender and well seasoned. My favorite, though, was the market salad- the sauce was tangy and the perfect complement to the salty pork, which was crispy and juicy! We finished the meal by splitting the cheesecake and coconut jelly dessert, which had a nice presentation served in a whole coconut. The jelly tasted slightly watery and bland, but the cheesecake was airy and I enjoyed the mango topping. Staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was buzzing. Overall, I felt that the ingredients were fresh and food well prepared, but in general most needed more flavor. I would return to try other dishes! read more

We decided to come to Sochi for my birthday and we had an outstanding meal. Everything was delicious from the appetizers to the dessert! We had an amazing experience with incredible wait staff and our waiter Oliver was the best! We started with the original spring rolls, the lemongrass pork spareribs, and the veggie noodle salad. What was really nice is that they give you the exact amount of food for number of people. (We only had 4 of us eating the ribs so they brought out 4) The pork spareribs were really tender and easily came off the bone, and the spring rolls with the peanut sauce were divine! The veggie noodle salad had perfectly crisp tofu and Japanese eggplant and I loved the daikon in it which was pickled. We probably could have ended our meal there as it was plenty of food, but we kept going! I had the Sun Rice as my main dish and it was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The lemongrass pork was perfect alongside the rice, sunny side up egg, cucumber and tomato. My husband enjoyed the vegetable curry which was a big portion size. We ended our meal with a black sesame cheesecake and tiramisu made with Vietnamese coffee. I preferred the tiramisu as the sesame cheesecake wasn't particularly sweet, but it was definitely a beautiful looking and unique dessert. The desserts are reportedly made by this family owned business' grandmother who lives above the restaurant. This is a great neighborhood restaurant with delicious, flavorful, ethnic food. The service is wonderful and you are in for a culinary treat! The only downfalls which would shouldn't deter anyone from coming here are: the restaurant is very loud, there are not a ton of vegetarian options, and parking was a little tricky on a Friday night. read more

The egg rolls were extraordinary, but for $9 a piece, they should be. The same can't be said for the Slap Mama Crab Fried Rice. Very little crab and only two shrimp. It does not look like the picture. I know crab is expensive but at the price point I thought it was expecting more. Overall very good. Food was tasty but not a good value. read more

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The menu is a masterful blend of traditional Vietnamese flavors with a modern twist, showcasing the rich, vibrant, and aromatic essence of Saigonese cuisine. The Deboned Chili Salt Chicken--flavorful tender chicken emphasizing on the salt from the sauce that accompanies the dish making each bite a delight. The Slap Yo mama fried rice was another standout balancing out a good meal with the combination of the chicken What truly sets Sochi apart is the attention to detail in every dish. The presentation is beautiful, and each plate bursts with flavors that are both familiar and refreshingly new. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the food, making excellent recommendations and ensuring that every guest feels cared for. read more

It's probably a 3.5 for me, but food was very well prepared so I rounded up. The ambiance is great, simple, modern and fresh looking. Service was very good and extra attentive. Our drinks came out quickly and our water glasses were kept full. The only slight miss was food came out so fast we were rushing to try things before they got cold; the 2-tops didn't lend themselves to sharing plates because there was no space for all the dishes. The food was really nice to look at and as I said, cooked well. The misses - and for me a big one - were the flavors. They weren't the punchy, umami flavors of Vietnam. They were very muted or more fusion with Thai or Filipino cuisines. The egg rolls were the best thing we had, but skimpy on the herbs. It was nice they nestled the herbs in the butter lettuce so people who were new to this dish would know how to eat them. The ribs were tender, but not very lemongrass flavored. The sauce tasted like mayo and was very odd as the menu listed fish sauce. We didn't care for the chili chicken as the sauce is what usually makes it and it was not very well balanced; the chicken didn't have the distinctive 5-spice flavor. The pho was okay, not many noodles, but it was so very very greasy that we didn't eat much of it. I also thought it was odd it was served with a lemon wedge instead of lime and very few herbs again. I say all of this from the standpoint of being raised by an exceptionally talented Vietnamese mom cook. Prices were high for Vietnamese food, but I guess reasonable based on the type of restaurant elevated decor and current food prices. We probably won't return, but it's a nice introduction to some general flavors for those just trying the cuisine for the first time. read more

This place is closer to a 3.5 star than a 4 star although the packed restaurant may make you think otherwise. Straight up I will say the service is excellent. Attentive and knowledgeable wait staff and genuinely seem to love the food they are serving. Is it authentically Vietnamese..... not really but they did have some dishes that were close to the real thing. The spring rolls stood out for me, as was the Al eggplant starter. Had the pho as a main course and was a little disappointed. They gave you a meager amount of bean sprouts to go with the pho and weren't very generous with the chilli sauces in general. I've tasted better more floral pho on Argyle. The restaurant is pretty but it was very busy and so very loud. If you live around there it's worth a try but I'm going to stick to Argyle when I want Vietnamese food. read more

Came here for dinner once last year and finally made it back - both times were great experiences! This most recent time was an early dinner on a Friday before going to a concert, so a light but satisfying and delicious meal was perfect. We beat the dinner rush so overall the ambiance was quieter than usual, but still inviting and fun and helped kick off the rest of the evening's events. Service was excellent from the start to end. They let us know when the next reservation was after us so we knew how much time we had. It was more than we expected, so we really felt like we could enjoy and take our time. My dinner guest hadn't dined here before so our server was great about answering questions and offering suggestions. I've enjoyed everything I've eaten and drank here, and these dishes in particular I've had multiple times for a reason. The Original Egg Rolls are so tasty and a great starter choice. We also went with the Golden Nest which is such a flavorful and fun shrimp dish. And the Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice remains the best fried rice I've ever had. So much crab meat mixed with all the other wonderful ingredients and flavors - it's really something special. It can get a little pricey, especially if you're having a couple drinks, but sharing is a great way to try different dishes. Overall, the quality of the food and dining experience still feels worth the indulgence every now and then! read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Sochi. My friend and I popped in for dinner and were pleasantly surprised! We ordered a wide range of dishes including the half chicken, crab fried rice, spring rolls, egg rolls, and market salad with pork. My overall opinion is that the space is really lovely and well appointed. The service is great and very attentive. The food was quite good overall and certainly cooked beautifully. My biggest area of feedback is some of the seasoning choices. In general some of the flavors felt a bit watered down, perhaps to accommodate the tastes of the neighborhood? I'm not sure. But I was hoping for even more bold flavors, especially from the spring rolls and the crab fried rice. The market salad also could have been bolder. To be clear I really enjoyed this meal, hence the 4 stars! But I prefer the really flavorful gifts that Vietnamese foods offer and was missing that in some dishes. I do want to call out the chicken, which is not something I would have ordered but my friend wanted it. It was some of the most beautifully cooked chicken I've ever seen! read more

Incredible food. Period. We had marrow fried rice, ribs, beef stew, and it all melted in our mouths.

This restaurant and my experience here was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend coming here and promise that you won't be disappointed with the food. My best friend and I came here for dinner the other day. Very beautiful modern vibes inside with beautiful plates. The owner was walking around, collected our plates and had conversation with us. So personable and amazing to see her actually working on the main floor! We each ordered an entree and shared a dessert. I ordered the green River drink and it was very refreshing especially on a summer day. Not sweet whatsoever and the cucumber taste was very present. My entree was the Ben Thanh market salad, which deserves a 10/10. Everything was cold and it was so refreshing and light full of flavor. My best friend ordered the Saigon pho which was cooked to perfection, tender meat and rich flavors. However, we both agreed my salad was way better and that is the entree we would reorder again! We also shared my mom cheesecake, which was a mango flavor. The owner said the flavors change each week and next week will be pineapple flavor, which is her favorite. Our waitress was very kind, but not very attentive at all. She hardly checked our table so we had a lot of dirty plates sitting on our table for the longest. The owner then noticed and collected it for us! I can't wait to come back and definitely trying the famous crab fried rice, maybe the salad again and definitely an appetizer! read more

Tried this spot for my foodie friend because it had a 1 Michelin Star. We sat by the counter to watch the magic of the kitchen. We tried the eggplant which turned my non eggplant friend actually like eggplant! The duck salad was fresh, savory, nutty, & great texture feel. The shaking beef was tender & flavorful with the fried rice having a crisp & sweet taste that made it addicting. Not pictured: mom's cheesecake! Made by the chef's mom & honestly such an amazing take on cheesecake. My friends & I analyzed it as it was light, well made, & just beautiful. Definitely try it as its flavors are seasonal! read more

The foods are great and the service is friendly. I like the ducks salads, the golden nests shrimp, pork spareribs and crabs fried rice.

We ordered: 1. Lemongrass Pork Spareribs - grilled, lemongrass fish sauce, white radish, carrot, cilantro, shredded scallion, big pepper cilantro sauce 2. Sochi Wings - garlic, butter, Sochi special sauce, shredded celery, scallion 3. Slap Mama Crab Fried Rice - crab meat, shrimp, green onion, egg yolk, butter garlic sauce with slap yo mama seasonings, masago, cilantro, scallion 4. Sun's Rice - grilled marinated pork, white rice, quiche, sunny side egg, cucumber, cherry tomato, daikon, carrot, crispy pork fat, scallion oil, sweet & sour dish sauce I loved the appetizers. Wings were lightly brushed with sauce and not messy. I liked the flavor and meat was tender. Ribs were also flavorful and tender. Lemongrass fish sauce was a great dipping sauce. We each had a minor issue with our rice dishes. Vietnamese quiche is an interesting concept with potential but in this case, it was flavorless. But everything else, veggies, rice, and pork were spot on. First bite of fried rice cooked with butter was yummy but quickly becomes overwhelming, at least for my palate. Good portion of crab and shrimp, both perfectly cooked. But maybe other people like buttery fried rice as opposed to oil. Service was good. I love the interior design and it wasn't loud inside. I like the small menu. I would come back to try other things. read more
