Me and husband really enjoyed ourselves. It was our first time visiting this establishment and the food and ambiance and staff were all superb. We ordered the Branzino whole fish, beef short rib pho, and the red chicken curry. For dessert we really enjoyed the homemade vanilla ice cream and banana butter cake. ... Everything was very good. The owners and staff had amazing customer service. We will definitely be back! Read More

This might be the best meal I've had in some time. From start to finish I enjoyed every part of the night. Truly exceptional. We are in town for a concert and like always we've picked out our dining ahead of time. My wife and I both agreed up Vietnamese before our show, and let me be the one to inform you this place ... nailed it The staff was beyond polite and friendly. They attend to you like no place I have ever been. This includes everything from being greeted to being thanked on the way out. Top notch. As for the food... it was on a whole 'nother level. The duck in our bao buns was juicy and cooked perfectly. Not greasy nor dry, it just melts in your mouth surrounded by that soft. warm bun. Delicious. Cauliflower wings is what we had for our starter. The best I can describe these cruncy mouthfuls of goodness is like gobi but way better. You get a nice portion that was easy to share with my wife. From the first one to the last they retained there cruncy, warmth and flavor. Again delicious. For our main course we split a bahn mi. This one was a short rib filling with a house slaw accompanied by a savory cosume. Just flat out amazing. Even the fries that came with were excellent. So so good. I don't know when I will be back in Chicago, but I will come back. Its that good. I would be remiss to forget about the dessert. We have a mango shortbread that paired so well with the meal. There were other options that I would of loved to try but that will be for the next time. Also also.. the Vietnamese iced coffee was great as well as my wifes lychee tea. Do come here and do come back. Make a reservation, the dining area is well laid out but it will fill up fast. Read More

My mum, brother, and I were visiting Chicago, and we wanted Vietnamese food Saturday night, but wanted to get away from the busy-ness of downtown. I googled around and found this gem. When we arrived at Saigon Sisters, we were first greeted warmly by Dan, and he sat us down. Luckily for us, there was no wait time, ... but 10 minutes after we sat down, the restaurant got full. (All tables were full. Only 3 bar seats were open.) The space was clean, and the lighting was perfect for the evening. The waitstaff was super attentive-- I was surprised when they consistently took our used napkins and gave us new ones. For drinks, we got the: Saigon Spritz, Perfect Storm, and Lychee Margarita. The drinks were great as standalones, and were also great with meals. We skipped appetizers (we wish we had the stomach space for it lol) but for the mains, we decided to get the: Bun Cha Hanoi, Deluxe Vermicelli Salad, and Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were just right. The meats were so tender and moist, the vegetables were crunchy + fresh, and the sauces were nicely balanced and yummy. We CLEARED the plates-- nothing was left on there. We were full, but decided to share a dessert and ordered the Banana Brown Butter cake, and oh my gosh... Where do I even begin with this dessert? This was SO good. The cake was warm, a little gooey and buttery, and sweet but not too sweet. (It would be perfect with a cup of black coffee.) I've returned back to my home state and I can't stop thinking about this dessert. I would totally just buy the dessert on a sad day as a little pick me up. It's that good. If you managed to read this far and you're in the area, definitely try out this restaurant! Everything was delicious and I would totally go again if I didn't live a plane ride away. A HUGE shoutout to Mary Aregoni + chefs in the kitchen! Thank you so much for the delicious food. :) Read More

After researching the best Asian restaurants in the city, I decided to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday at Saigon Sisters, and it exceeded every expectation. Dan greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived. I had called ahead because my Uber was running late, and he was incredibly accommodating, making us feel ... welcomed from the moment we walked in. We started with the chicken steamed dumplings, pork and shrimp fresh spring rolls, and vegetable spring rolls. The spring rolls were unbelievably fresh and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the duck bao, which was filled with tender, moist duck, crisp cucumbers, and a perfectly balanced plum sauce. My daughter ordered the Bo Luc Lac, and it was bursting with flavor. The steak was incredibly tender and juicy, and the accompanying salad was one of the freshest we've ever had, topped with an amazingly flavorful dressing. My mother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed the stir-fried vegetables, which were cooked perfectly and packed with fresh flavor. To finish our meal, we shared the Dubai chocolate cake and the banana brown butter cake. Both desserts were outstanding and the perfect ending to a fantastic dining experience. A special thank you to Harley, our server, who provided impeccable service throughout the evening. She was attentive, friendly, and helped make my mother-in-law's birthday celebration truly memorable. From the warm hospitality to the exceptional food and outstanding service, Saigon Sister delivered a five-star experience. We can't wait to return! Read More
