Vietnamese buffet-style dining (tiệc tự chọn Việt Nam) isnt as common in the US as Chinese or Korean buffets, but Chicago has options where you can enjoy a wide spread of Vietnamese dishes in a family-style or buffet format. For the Vietnamese community, the buffet format resonates with the tradition of sharing large, multi-dish meals at family gatherings. The best options in Chicago are Asian-fusion buffets that include Vietnamese-inspired dishes or banquet-style restaurants that serve family feasts.
