Chef Thai & Danielle Dang's Vision
HaiSous was born from Chef Thai and Danielle Dang's desire to change how people experience Vietnamese cuisine. Drawing on Chef Thai's roots and years of culinary expertise, they set out to create a restaurant that showcases bold, unexpected flavors in a space that feels chic, approachable, warm, and inviting. What started as a vision has grown into one of Chicago's most celebrated restaurants.
Vietnamese Cuisine, Elevated
At HaiSous, tradition meets innovation. Our menu draws from the depth and history of Vietnamese cooking, from clay pot grilled seafood and wagyu to house-made noodles and time-honored family recipes, all reimagined with a modern, chef-driven touch. Every dish is crafted to introduce guests to flavors they've never experienced, and to leave them wanting more.
Celebrated in Chicago and Beyond
HaiSous has been recognized by the Michelin Guide and named a James Beard Award semifinalist, honors that reflect Chef Thai and Danielle's commitment to pushing Vietnamese cuisine forward. But behind every accolade is a simple goal: to share food that surprises and delights our guests, one plate at a time.
Rooted in Pilsen
HaiSous sits in the heart of Pilsen, one of Chicago's most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods, and we're proud to call it home. Whether you're joining us for dinner, Sunday brunch, or booking a private event in our space, we're honored to share our table, and our neighborhood, with you.
