Hai Yen
Many of the dishes at this warm Argyle St eatery require some assembly, pairing shrimp, beef or squid with rice crepes, mint, Thai basil and lettuce. For an appetizer, try the goi cuon, fresh rolls of vermicelli rice noodles along with shrimp, pork and carrots. The bo bay mon consists of seven (yes, seven) different kinds of beef. Order sparingly, or ask for some help from your server – like the bo bay mon, many of the dishes are large enough to feed an army.

Tank Noodle
The official name of this spacious utilitarian eatery is Pho Xe Tang, but everyone just calls it Tank Noodle. The crowds come for banh mi, served on crunchy fresh baguette rolls, and the pho, which is widely regarded as the city’s best. The 200-plus-item menu sprawls on from there and includes banh xeo (crispy pancakes), catfish and squid dishes, and a rainbow array of bubble teas.

Saigon Sisters
They are indeed two sisters, and they ladle out Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) and banh mi (baguette sandwiches) in the French Market in the Ogilvie train station. Eclectic creations include the Frenchman (a sandwich of duck confit, candied kumquat and smoked paprika mayonnaise) and the Sun Tanned Cow (with coconut-milk-braised beef ribs, lime leaves and ginger).

Le Lan
A joint venture of two of Chicago’s most respected chefs – Roland Liccioni (of Les Nomades) and Arun Sampanthavivat (of Arun’s) – yields Chicago’s most venerated Asian fusion. Enjoy the exquisite marriage of French and Vietnamese cuisine in a brick-walled setting.

Fan Si Pan
This cute, bright-green box with the eye-catching sign has got some cooking muscle behind it: the chef worked in upscale kitchens such as the Four Seasons before opening this tiny ‘fast-food’ joint specializing in minty, Vietnamese spring rolls, served alone or over noodles.
