HaiSous Vietnamese Kitchen

“Always been a fan of this spot but their brunch was superb! Chef Dang has a great menu lined up. The coffee with egg custard, octopus salad, and rice noodle soup with prawn cakes. Then pandas waffles! Wowwwww. Please don’t miss This award winning spot! @chicagopescetarian”

“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!”

“Came by with my friend. It wasnt the most convenient place to get to when you live on the north side, but if you get down here... definitely worth the stop. The food is delicious. We each (there was 3 of us) got ourselves the bun cha (big portion - enough to bring home for another delicious meal). But the dishes are great for sharing (in general). My group was just very specific about what we wanted. We also got spritzes. They were absolutely delicious and refreshing. The cookie creme Puff was an amazing way to end dinner and was big enough to definitely share (recommended). The service was fairly quick (I'd just say the broth could've been hotter). The egg rolls were nice and fresh (and hotttttt - temperature). The noodles were perfect. The staff was great. The food delicious.”

“HaiSous Vietnamese Kitchen is undeniably good, which is why the hype left me somewhat confused. Every dish was enjoyable, yet nothing truly stood out as exceptional. We were in Chicago celebrating my partner's birthday weekend and decided to visit this place for a dinner date. On arrival, we had to wait about 5-ish minutes to be seated, which wasn’t bad, but it then took around 10 minutes for our server to come by and ask if we wanted water or drinks. The cocktails were good, and the ambience was lovely—well decorated, with an open kitchen and chefs’ counter that add energy to the space. The food itself was really good. Our curry was great, and overall the dishes had good portions and beautiful presentation. That said, the service unfortunately took away from the experience. When I asked if there were more veggie options or if anything could be modified, the server wasn’t particularly helpful. I completely understand that weekends can get busy during rush hours, but I wish there had been a bit more effort. One frustrating moment was with our drinks—our last cocktail arrived when we had almost finished dinner, even after reminding the staff twice. For a birthday dinner date with my husband, that was a bit disappointing. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting for the food. Just don’t keep your expectations too high when it comes to service. It’s a good place to enjoy cocktails, food, and the vibe (depending on who your server is—hopefully they don’t kill it), and the pricing is reasonable for a date night or a casual hangout with friends.”

“Came for Chicago Restaurant Week 2026. Dinner was $60 per person, served family style. The appetizers were nice (the chopped clams being the winner), but the main platter’s portion was so tiny, and considering that the proteins were just pork sausage and (dry) chicken, it was definitely not worth the price. The banana rice pudding dessert was also lackluster and again had the teeniest portion. Service was good though with constant water refills and a change of plates but I don’t see myself coming back after this experience. Wished we did à la carte instead :(”
