Le Colonial - Chicago

Restaurant week

Restaurant is beautiful and food fantastic. Had wonderful service and will be back!!!

This was my second visit to the new Le Colonial and each time, the food and service have been superb. I love Viet Namese cuisine and the authenticity of Le Colonial is important to me. But the food is not just authentic, it’s delicious. The menu for restaurant week offered an attractive low price for numerous irresistible choices. My friend and I chose the 3-course lunch special and we both had delicious spring rolls to start. I had the chicken and noodle combo next, which was fantastic, while my friend had the beef and mushroom dish, which proved equally delicious. The tapioca pudding dessert was incredible. The beautiful decor makes the entire dining experience exceptional. I highly recommend Le Colonial.

Lovely room, great menu, delicious food, great service - good for lunch or dinner@

First time on Oak St. They did a very nice job w restaurant and bar.
Food was delicious.

Great food excellent service

The food, service and ambiance at LeColonial were consistently flawless. A true epicurean delight. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed this visit to Le Colonial. All servers and staff were friendly yet professional, which is so important. Food delicious and presentations are beautiful.

AC and heat kept going back and forth from freezing to hot.

Food is delicious and the ambience is great. Beautiful decor. The service was subpar. It was never clear who our server was as we had multiple different people wait on us throughout dinner. There was no welcome, or introduction, and no assistance describing the menu or helping with wine.

Too cold by the windows

The service was not as attentive and personalized as usual. This was a new server. He did not have the charm that the rest of the staff has. He did not quite fit in. He was “just there” and I spent $100 for one person

This is our fourth time since they have relocated and it has been as good as ever. The food is impeccably fresh and tasteful and the service extremely attentive and helpful.

Very authentic Vietnamese food that is very tasty. Shrimp spring rolls with plum and peanut sauce was excellent and so was the duck.

Amazing food and service!

First time at new spot. Still a solid choice after all these years

Just a wonderful weekend lunch with friends. Food, service and atmosphere excellent!

A number of items that were our favorites are no longer on the menu. Too bad because they were outstanding. Also, liked the ambiance of the old location much better. Can’t do anything about that but really would like to see a few of our favorite dishes back someday.

Enjoyed my birthday celebration today. Service was excellent. Cuisine was fanstastic. All around great experience.

So so so so so so good. Reminded me of the upscale restaurants in HoChiMinh

Everything we ate was amazing! It is our favorite place in Chicago. The attention to detail (food flavors, textures, presentation, service) is second to none!

The staff is amazing. I love the flavors, light, not overly complex, and decadent.

Second time there in new location
First time service was an A+
This time unimpressed by service all around !

Amazing dining experience + service and atmosphere top shelf!

Joe King has done it again!! I loved everything about the restaurant and hats off to the chef and staff. Our hostess Ivanka could not be nicer!!

We were among the earliest arrivals of the evening but were given the worst table in the restaurant. Center of the service walkway, in the walkway to the bar, front door and other rooms. My chair was bumped at least 30 times by both patrons and service people. Between two large party tables of screeching people. When we told the manager he could have offered us a better table and he did not. Food was as fabulous as it’s been for the 25 years we have loved this restaurant. We spent nearly $400 for 2 of us. We will NEVER return.

Lovely lunch spot. Ambience and food were exceptional.

Service was good. Ambience is top notch. Food was very good until I had my lunch entree which was the salad with chicken. It

Good food, amazing ambience! The food at Slanted Door in SF is much better but this was very good. Gorgeous bar area!

Great experience! Will be back!

It is a great experience

From the moment you step into Le Colonial, you are transported off the busy Chicago streets into another world. Aptly decorated with an exceptional bar and breezy dining room, Le Colonial matches excellence in ambiance with an excellent dining experience. The food was delicious, appropriately portioned for sharing, and full of the flavor of the South Pacific with the refinement of French cooking. I absolutely would recommend Le Colonial for any occasion.

Love this place! The new Le Colonial has all of the great things of the original in a beautiful new space. The front room is bright and sunny! The bar is cosy and wonderful. Food is always terrific and they are great at making modifications!

This was my second time but first time at the new location. Food and service were tremendous.

Beautiful ambience and real vietnamese/ south east asia food.

Fabulous food and atmosphere!

The oxtail soup while very tasty was not hot. The shrimp dish was only so so. The chicken curry dish was outstanding.

The new space is wonderful and the food was awesome.

Charming space, great service. Food good but some dishes were lacking in flavor.

We loved everything! The food was delicious and the services was great even thought the restaurant was very busy
