    Had the catfish clay pot and the bone in pork steak. Both were delicious. The catfish was really delicious. It was full of flavors and nicely seasoned. The bone in pork was very good as well. It was tender, seasoned well, and very tasty.

    Regular pho

    Best Pho ever in my life! Great atmosphere great people. I really like their open kitchen style. Been customer of their restaurants for 3 years , no complain

    Fresh Spring Rolls
    Jacqueline F.

    Mom has been hinting that she wanted to try this place out so finally went and took the family to celebrate the hubby's birthday. The place is very modern and decorated nicely. Halloween just ended so the place was all decked out with spooky decor. We were greeted right away and our server was super friendly and accommodating. For starters we got the spring rolls and papaya salad and both were tasty. I got the sliced beef pho for my main dish. All of the veggies came separate so tbat they were nice and fresh once you put them in the broth. The pho was pretty good and was a nice sized portion. Even the smaller portion in which my daughter ordered was still pretty big! They had meat options such as meatballs, brisket, or sliced beef that you can order with the pho. The restaurant is as divided into 2 sections. Right where you enter is the restaurant that contains the main bar, a tv to watch the game, and tables if you wanted that atmosphere. We dined in on a Sunday night so that part of the restaurant was not that packed. It looked like they just hosted a party there not too recently and the place is big enough for a small reception, birthday party, etc. We were seated on the other side of the restaurant and this is where the most of the people were seated that night. The menu options for dinner were a little scarce, and the majority of the options were mostly soup-like dishes. There were not really any rice dishes that were available and i know the hubby was a little disappointed as that is what he was looking for. Not sure if that is the full menu that is available all day or if it was just a limited menu for dinner? Anywho the workers were really nice and accommodating and I would come back here for the pho and ambiance.

    Anchovy soup / Pho
    Will M.

    I had the Oaxaca cocktail and the anchovy soup. The pho had fish and pork(?). Very flavorful - will be back.

    I've never had Pho before, but I'm fully converted- SO delicious! We went on a dreary, rainy weeknight, so the restaurant was mostly empty, but it shouldn't have been because it was a PERFECT pho night! The actual restaurant is beautiful, and service was genuine and personable. It's relatively cheap at $13 for a small bowl and $15 for a regular bowl! We thought it was amazing and would definitely return!

    Lee was great and so was the food! I was studying and they took care of me made sure I had water it was great. Totally recommend them and the pho was fire as usual

    Chicken Wings
    Vincent N.

    The chicken wings were really good if you like the Asian sweet and spicy sauce, The Bun Bo Hue was very good as well, this dish is my favorite type of soup if you want a spicy soup with a lot of meat.

    We got shrimp spring rolls for appetizers and I got the XL pho bowl with sliced beef, brisket, meatball, tendon, flank minus tripe. Spring rolls were fragrant, fresh, and tightly packed. Pho broth and meat quality were good but very expensive - $19 pre tax. Regular bowl is $14 pre tax. Service was subpar but not terrible. Food didn't take long to come out but after it did, nobody came back to our table until I waved for the check. Restaurant is clean, wide, and has lots of seating. There's free parking nearby which is a huge plus for any Chicago business.

    All of the food was fantastic!!! I even got a free smoothie for checking in through the Yelp app!! I got the mango smoothie with tapioca, amazing! Highly recommend the avocado one as well! Then got the salmon clay pot! Wow!!! Knocked my socks off!! It's the perfect cold winter day meal!! I want to try the cat fish and pork belly next!! Their firecracker shrimp is also delicious! Forewarning about eating the baby chilies!

    Oxtail Ox Tail Pho
    Lefai K.

    I've only had pho one other time, and when I tried it, it wasn't good. But my friend told me that pho can be good, so I decided to give it another try. I found Tank Kitchen & Bar, of course, via Yelp. The place looks new (no idea how old is the place) and there is available street parking. If you're not a fan of parking your car on busy Irving Park road (I wasn't), there is "unofficial" parking on the parking lot right behind the restaurant, where the Jewel Osco is. We were greeted right away and given the liberty of where to seat. The dining area is extremely spacious, and is divided to two areas, with the bar in the middle. There are chairs and tables, as well as booths. We decided to opt in the booths. We ordered: - Fresh spring rolls. We went with the shrimp, and the rolls came with vermicelli noodles, mint, chives, all wrapped up in a semi-translucent rice paper roll. I wasn't a fan of the subtle mint, but the overall roll was good. - Quail. I never had quail before, and this was cut into halfs. The quail came with a salt and pepper dip, which was good. The quail was deep fried and seasoned well. - Oxtail pho. I had to order the oxtail. I love oxtail. Unfortunately, the oxtail was rather chewy. The pho came with 3 pieces and it was OK. But the broth was phenomenal Service as good and the overall food was good. I recommend! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located on the eastern-half of the dining area, in the back, the bathroom was nice and modern and clean. Two urinals, with privacy dividers, and a stall. Overall, good! sit or squat? Sit!

    Creative Vietnamese Brunch with Standout Wings, Though the Egg Coffee Missed the Mark…read more HaiSous remains an enjoyable spot for a more modern take on Vietnamese cuisine, with quick, efficient, and friendly service in a polished setting. We came for brunch right when the restaurant opened, and it was only about 25% full, which made for an easy and relaxed meal. The crispy chicken wings were excellent -- fried well, nicely seasoned, and easily a go-to order. The bánh xèo was also very good, served hot and fresh with a crisp shell and plenty of filling, though I would have appreciated more leafy greens and herbs for wrapping. The bánh canh cua, or crab noodles, had genuine flavor, a nice spicy balance, and was served piping hot. The crab meat is broken up into the broth, so you do need to drink the spicy broth to get the full benefit of the dish. The beef papaya salad was just alright. Compared with other papaya salads I've had, I wanted more sourness and tartness to give it that sharper, more authentic flavor profile. The biggest disappointment was the cà phê trứng, or egg coffee. After having the real thing in Vietnam, I was excited to try HaiSous' version, but the coffee was not strong or bitter enough to create the right contrast, there was not much beaten egg, and the drink was overwhelmed by a large amount of whipped cream. It came across more like a very sweet dessert coffee than a faithful egg coffee. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would come back. There are some misses, but the stronger dishes -- especially the wings, bánh xèo, and crab noodles -- make HaiSous worth trying for a creative Vietnamese brunch or dinner.

The spring rolls came as a pair, both long. Everything was packaged well. Both dishes were very fresh with great flavor. The chicken cabbage salad was amazingly good, with the cabbage still having some crisp to it despite being mixed with the chicken and dressing. The flavor was a great combination of citrus and a gingery kick, and some fresh herbs on top made it even better. This place is definitely in our short list for delivery, and we look forward to checking it out in person someday.

My only problem with the oxtail is that it was very tender... it didn't fall off the bone. It should've been cooked a bit longer. The dish itself did not look how I expected it to. It was underwhelming aesthetically. I wouldn't order the oxtail pho again. However the taste of it was pretty good! It made me want to try different kinds of pho. The service was okay, the girl server had an attitude, it wasn't that busy and she told us she was having a bad day... for whatever reason. The ambience was really nice. I really like the decorations in there. My only issue was the booth area. The table was not leveled for a suitable pho experience. The table sits very low to where you have to hunch over while you eat. The water, napkins etc. are right at the entrance. Where people are passing by, not very sanitary. But aesthetic makes you forget about that. The food was good though so I definitely come back to eat a seafood pho.

    5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

    Ambiance - neighborhood gem, casual, offers small dine in area…read more Service - order at kiosk upon arrival, self serve, pick up food at counter Food - pho broth was aromatic, sliced beef was slightly different than what I'm used to (it was marinated, not the typical rare un-marinated sliced beef)
