This low-key Chinatown eatery, a sibling to Argyle Street's Café Hoang, features Vietnamese and Thai fare. The menu, which mirrors the Uptown location, covers plenty of ground, offering appetizers and soups, noodle and rice dishes and entrees from both countries. You'll find standards such as such as egg rolls, tom yum soup, pho, pad Thai and chicken fried rice, but there are more adventurous options too, including spicy catfish simmered in a clay pot, soft shell crab with tamarind sauce and crispy-fried whole red snapper with sweet and sour fish sauce. Not familiar with Southeast Asian staples? Food photos (with corresponding menu numbers) are mounted on the storefront's windows, in the entryway and on the walls inside to help you make a decision. Cafe Hoang is BYOB.

"One of the best dishes in Chicago..."
By JSlope from Southwest SIde, April 20, 2009
Even though the guy who recommended this place on Check Please was kind of loathsome, he is absolutely correct that this is one of best restaurants...
