HaiSous has one of the more affordable prix-fixe tasting menus in Chicago at $68/pp for 3 courses (8 dishes) without any beverage pairing (though I think it’s $70 now). The menu rotates seasonally. My partner and I went on a Sunday night with a reservation and it wasn’t very crowded. The ambience was elegant, but not overly fancy.

I am gonna be coming to this place for sure. For someone who’s partner is Vietnamese I don’t often venture out of trying non traditional Vietnamese restaurants because they are either super toned down in flavors to match the western pallet.

We were there Friday evening, Vibes are good ,we had a server that had an accent come to find out she is French, I know this because I was trying to pronounced the dishes correctly and she had no idea,it was hard to understand her and to hear her as the restaurant was very loud,

Been here twice now. My first experience was superb, loved the interior and food was amazing. Maybe because my second experience was not as good I was not as delighted by the food as well. I had made a reservation but asked if it was okay to come half an hour early. They said the maximum they could do is 10 minutes early. I agreed to this but parking took longer than expected so I arrived at the original time for the reservation. The hostess said that she had already given our table away because we missed the “grace period”. We ended up getting a seat at the bar but because it was right jn front of the entrance it felt overcrowded and busy, disrupting the dining experience. Not sure if this overall experience was worth $100 excluding tax and gratuity. The drinks and dessert was phenomenal. Definitely recommend trying the ones in the pictures.

I found this lovely restaurant searching for Vietnamese food. I fell in love with this amazing cuisine during a trip to Vietnam, and I’m constantly looking for it in every city I visit. Well, HaiSous didn’t disappoint! If you want something traditional, it might not be your first choice, but if you want to experience a more elevated take on Vietnamese cuisine, then you must give them a try. Though they have some traditional dishes such as Bun Cha, Whole fried fish and Vietnamese Curry, the Chef also brings the amazing flavors to items like grilled oysters, octopus and steak. There is also a very unique and cost effective tasting menu which showcases a few of the menus most popular dishes and a nice selection of flavorful grilled seafood. Oh, and did I mention they have great cocktails?! Definitely worth a visit!

HaiSous had nice service and a beautiful atmosphere. I would go again but probably only for the happy hour. The drinks were okay but my biggest issue was the food really lacked flavor.

Very memorable food at HaiSous! The octopus salad and the (off menu) shrimp and pork sugar cane dumplings had us licking our fingers – divine! The emperors (crab) rice noodles were incredible, had to fight for the last bites. The drinks were yummy, but somewhat overshadowed by the delicious food. Service at the bar was sub-par, but allowed us to see that the preparation of drinks was somewhat careless (e.g., half-spilled drink was topped off with unmixed hard liquor). I’ll come again, but I’ll probably get cocktails elsewhere!

Have been here a couple times, this time I tried the tasting menu. Unexpectedly, each dish is big portion. We even ended up with food to go. If you have a big party, it is served as family style. Definitely recommend people to try out the tasting menu, it is so worth it.

It was such a beautiful and lovely experience, the staff was extremely Friendly and amazing hosts! The food was extraordinary with little to no wait once ordered! Everything we tried had vibrant flavors that complimented eachother, the kitchen does an excellent job at making it look easy when we know how hard they work to perfect everyone’s food ! 200/10 would come again

We came here for happy hour. Drinks and food was fantastic. The grilled eggplant and octopus was amazing. That alone is worth the visit. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely a cool place and neighbourhood in Chicago.
