High quality does not have to be pretentious
Unlike other south-east asian cuisines, Vietnamese food has influences from France. Given this influence, cooking is definitely a culmination of East meets West where meals are prepared and cooked for hours rather than flash fried.

With fresh herbs, meats and vegetables, Simply Pasteur goes one step further than other Vietnamese restaurants by crafting our plates to be for a modern-american palette. That is, our cuisine is not only designed to be elegant, but also to be flavorful and to take experience into account.

Come relax and enjoy an elegant pairing of Vietnamese pho, noodles, rice dishes and more with our in-house cocktails, wines and full bar.

25 min for menu; 50 min for drink order; never asked if wanted anything else after order; could not get anyone to bring bill at end; put down cash and left; incredibly poor experience that was quite disrespectful to customers; experience was obviously being repeated throughout the restaurant with all customers

The dinner was over 2 hours and a half long. The restaurant wasn’t even that busy, so they must be clearly understaffed. They said they would comp us a round of drinks for the wait, but only half of those arrived

On a recommendation from a friend, we dined at Simply Pasteur in December and truly enjoyed it. We were hosting friends in January and asked them to join us there. They had been about a year ago and didn’t care for it, but were willing to give it another try. They were glad they did! The food was delicious, a wonderful mix of flavors and herbs and spices. Presentation was very appealing. The service was outstanding. It was wonderful dining out where we could converse without yelling across the table. This is a neighborhood gem!

My first time to the Chicago treasure. And I was not disappointed. In addition to being taken care of in an amazing manner by Kim, the food was wonderful. I will be back soon.

Loved the egg rolls and the fried rice. Tasty chicken curry. They made my wife a virgin mango mojito and she loved it so much she got a second one.

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.
