This has to be one of the best deals in The City!! Their Happy Hour menu at this Vietnamese resto packs massive flavors and the portions are way larger than you would expect at these prices. Bún chá was a flavor bomb and portions wont leave you hungry. Unlike the dinner portion, the grilled pork, crispy spring ... roll, rice noodle, pork broth, mint & herbs are all served as a bowl, pre-mixed. But thats great cause takes out the guess-work on how to enjoy this dish. The aromatics of this dish was amazing, star anise and lemon-grass are prominent. Their papaya salad with chopped homemade beef jerky in soy sesame vinaigrette was refreshing and light on the palate. Lastly, their crispy chicken wings in sweet chili & fish sauce with garlic & scallions was texturally rich and much like Korean style sweet wings. The size of these wings was exceptional and ample serving. Ill definitely be back for more of their happy hour dishes. The staff was friendly and helpful when making the food choices!!

This place is a must-visit for Vietnamese food in Chicago. We called ahead about 30 minutes to reserve a table, and everything went smoothly. The service was efficient, and the food came out quickly. Most importantly, the taste was absolutely amazing. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to!

The happy hour menu here was fantastic, the tasting menu looked great too if I would’ve had more time. All the dishes I had were complex but clean & well balanced. Beverage options were extremely complimentary to food menus.
