HaiSous

Top Chicago Restaurants by Chandra Ram, and HaiSous made the list! 🙏

“Navigating this Vietnamese spot in the predominantly Mexican Pilsen neighborhood is not unlike trying to cross the road at rush hour in Hanoi, except instead of dodging mopeds, you’re weaving through people angling for a cocktail and a platter of chef Thai Dang’s famous chicken wings. While the wings, papaya salad, and lemongrass Wagyu always satisfy, HaiSous encourages you to go a little deeper on Vietnamese cuisine. Snack on chopped clams and chiles while you plan the rest of your order, and be sure to include the bun cha Hanoi, with a charred pork broth you’ll want to sip right from the bowl. Crispy whole fried fluke comes to the table with herbs, lettuce, and nuoc mam toi for dipping, and the crab fried rice is a buttery treat (ask for a little extra fish sauce to balance the richness). “ -Chandra Ram SAVEUR Magazine

Pandan — a tropical plant from Southeast Asia that’s known for its floral taste and bright green color — is becoming a go-to ingredient for several local chefs. It’s being used to enhance everything from cakes and ice cream to lattes and cocktails.
