Pho 777

Iconic/NotableUptown/Argyle · Vietnamese Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1104 W Argyle St, Chicago, IL 60640

Pho 777 has been family-run since Nicholas Nguyen and his wife Linh Thi Thuy Nguyen took it over in 2003, and it was among the first restaurants on Argyle Street to specialize in Northern Vietnamese cooking rather than the Southern styles more common along the strip.

The pho with tendon, cartilage, and tripe is the full traditional order — not the beginner version, the real one.

That distinction matters on a street that's carried the nickname New Chinatown, Little Saigon, or Little Vietnam since the late 1970s, when Vietnamese refugees resettling after 1975 built a handful of small food markets into a sprawling, roughly 60-shop business district within a decade. The restaurant has leaned into that history: in 2016 it hosted a monthly "Second Fridays on Argyle" dinner series built around Bun Cha Ha Noi, the same dish President Obama shared with Anthony Bourdain on a famous trip to Hanoi. The Michelin Guide has given it a Plate designation, and The Infatuation scored it 7.7, calling its pho among the best bowls in the city.

One review flags smoothie and drink prices as high relative to the food. Closed Mondays.
