    Our authentic Vietnamese food was delicious. Full bar offers many options. Service was great - staff attentive and accommodating. The place is small, so I would recommend arriving early, or making a reservation days in advance. Be prepared for a 20% service fee - not including gratuity. We parked in a paid lot right next door. There was plenty of metered street parking

    Three dishes were ordered, a chicken bao, shrimp and pork egg rolls and eggplant main course. Bao was great, tasty and hot. Egg rolls were good, though ingredients fell out and sauce seemed a little thin. Eggplant main course seemed like eggplant in sweet sugar sauce. Needed to be less sweet and a bit spicier. Wouldn’t order again.
    Saigon SistersResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the chicken bao and found the egg rolls flavorful. We appreciate your honest notes on the eggplant dish—your input helps us continually refine our menu. We hope to welcome you back soon to try more of our offerings!

    We have returned to Saigon Sisters after a while and fund it just as magnificent as before. The food was fantastic and the hospitality is real! I cannot tell which dish was the best as all of us ordered different things and all four of us were saying the highest praises.
    Saigon SistersResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Eva, Thank you so much for your beautiful words and kind heart. We’re truly blessed to have guests like you return and share such meaningful praise. It brings us so much joy to know that each dish brought happiness to your table and that the warmth of our hospitality was felt. We’re deeply grateful for your support and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon for more memorable evenings together. With heartfelt thanks and blessings, The Saigon Sisters Family

    Had an excellent birthday dinner for my 60th. Thanks again you very much for the outstanding service, the delicious food and the extra Champaign as a welcomed surprise before leaving. We had the sizzling duck for starters. (Just enough to share) and I had the pho as a main. Sooooo gooood. Sake was the perfect match. Thanks to my buddy from Bermuda making it all the way to Chicago. You legend.
    Saigon SistersResponded on May 16, 2025

    Food was very well prepared . There was one, large very noisy birthday party group that created an uncomfortable noise level and made it hard to interact with the servers and with each other.
    Saigon SistersResponded on May 16, 2025
    Thank you for the 5-star review and for your kind words about the food—we’re so glad you enjoyed your meal!

    Enjoyed a unique without having to leave the country - ingredients were fresh and tasted great. The owner and the wait staff were welcoming and very helpful as we chose what to order. Next time we'll go with friends so we can try more dishes, there is only so much 2 people can order and share. Don't let the Lake Street location discourage you from dining here, I'm glad we made the trek from the north suburbs. The restaurant is on the small end of the spectrum but it suited us. The background music was just loud enough to enjoy but not too loud that it disrupted our conversations. Parking was abundant with a lot just east of the restaurant and plenty of street parking available, we snagged a space right in front on Lake St. We'll be back to taste other items on their menu. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Vietnamese food and need to choose between going to Asia on Argyle (aka as Little Vietnam in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood) or dining at Saigon Sisters then the choice is simple, go to Saigon Sisters.
    Saigon SistersResponded on May 16, 2025
    Wow—thank you for this truly amazing review! We’re honored by your thoughtful words and thrilled that your experience at Saigon Sisters delivered the unique, authentic flavors you were seeking—without needing a passport! It means the world to us that you made the journey from the north suburbs and appreciated not only the food and service, but also the warm ambiance and convenient location. We're especially touched by your kind mention of our team—we love helping guests discover new dishes and flavors, and we can’t wait to welcome you back with friends to explore even more of the menu. Thank you for championing what we do—we’re proud to be your go-to for Vietnamese cuisine in Chicago!
