    I had an amazing experience at Saigon Sisters! The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious – the short rib pho is a must-try, incredibly flavorful and comforting. The BBQ eggplant was a delightful surprise, with a smoky and savory taste that paired perfectly with the meal. And you can't go wrong with the spicy fried chicken bao – the best appetizer on the menu, crispy and packed with flavor! Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving authentic, high-quality Vietnamese cuisine.

    Our table was waiting and we were seated by the owner. Everything from our cocktail to our dessert was excellent but the short rib Pho was stand out! Fantastic dinner!

    Things that were good: prompt seating (had reservation) and food was good for value but not great. Things that were not so good: Some of the evening specials were not available (why would you put them on that list then?); curry chicken in salad was very salty; wine pours were definitely inconsistent (one at our table got a decent pour, where as the other person got half as much); staff were too quick to pick up our plates as if they wanted us out to turn the table quickly even though there was no one waiting; restaurant is near the Chicago el train track, so conversation was a little difficult as there were no walls (just windows) to buffer the noise. The other thing that bothered us was that the owner (husband of chef) made it a point to greet us, but it seemed unsincere as there was no follow-up to see if we were enjoying ourselves. Especially since this is a small restaurant. Unfortunately we will not be back.
    Saigon SistersResponded on 3 December 2024
    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. While we’re pleased you appreciated the prompt seating and found value in the food, we’re sorry your experience fell short in other areas. Your concerns about the availability of specials, consistency in wine pours, and pacing of service are noted, and we’ll work to improve. We also apologize if the owner’s greeting felt insincere. Our goal is to make every guest feel genuinely welcomed, and we regret missing the mark. We understand your decision not to return but hope you might reconsider in the future so we can provide the exceptional experience you deserve. Thank you for helping us improve.

    Phenomenal experience. Love the family ran dynamic. The owner frequently stopped by and made sure everything was perfect. Great service and the food was to die for. Definitely try their signature dishes. Wow. Pho was delicious. I will say I’m more use to those huge bowls you’ll find in the Vietnamese community but they made the pho so well and the meat quality was phenomenal. Worth!
