Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Near North

We perhaps set our expectations too high, having spent almost 4wks eating our way through Vietnam. The Classic Bahn Mi were anything but, with what appeared to be deli meat and few vegetables. Served sliced in half, it was really just a sub sandwich. The shrimp spring rolls were tasty and presented well but I noticed browned lettuce. The atmosphere and the waitstaff is very nice so we will return to try other dishes to gauge whether their authenticity meets what we feel are realistic expectations.

Amazing food and service. However, they weren’t sensitive and didn’t ask about food allergies. I am gluten free and was surprised that the Tofu on the stir-fry was fried. The waiter didn’t know what the tofu was coated/battered in. I definitely felt sick afterwards but thankfully it is not a serious allergy.

Amazing food and wonderful service. Very attentive and helpful. The presentation was lovely and everything came out in a proper order. Delightful and elegant tastes.

We really loved Simply Pasteur. The ambiance was lovely, the music playing also was the right decibal and really delightful (a playlist that we asked about and have been playing at home), and the food was delicious. Service was also attentive and just right. It is a very appealing vibe and was a perfect place for an early Friday dinner. We are so glad we discovered this special place.
