Hủ tiếu—clear broth noodle soup with pork, shrimp, quail eggs—is a Southern Vietnamese specialty. Chicago serves this comforting dish.
Dong Ky Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant Top Pick
Consistently earns praise from Vietnamese locals for their noodles. The broth is clear, light, and deeply savory — simmered from pork bones with dried shrimp and daikon for natural sweetness. Proper thin, chewy noodles noodles with the distinctive bouncy texture. Loaded with sliced pork, shrimp, quail eggs, and ground pork, plus fresh bean sprouts and herbs on the side. Classic and well-executed.
Miss Saigon
Another excellent option on the Argyle strip. The broth is flavorful and well-seasoned with a clean pork flavor accented by dried shrimp and garlic. The noodles have the right chew, and toppings are generous — good-sized shrimp, tender pork slices, and perfectly cooked quail eggs. The herb plate is fresh with bean sprouts, sawtooth herb, and lime wedges. Modern, clean interior.
Pho Viet
A great alternative to their more famous pho. The broth is clean and light with a subtle sweetness from pork bones and dried shrimp. Proper thin noodle soup — chewy and satisfying. Generous toppings and a well-proportioned overall bowl. A particularly good choice for those who find pho too heavy and want something lighter but still deeply flavorful.
