Excellent experience from top to bottom every single time. Truly what I would consider the best restaurant in Chicago. In a city that is steak, potatoes, and beer dominant, Le Colonial is a breath of fresh air. I have been around 5 times now, for lunch as well as dinner, and every visit the service and food have been 10/10. The crunchy spring rolls are quite literally my electric chair meal. The mocktails are divine. I am vegan and they do an incredible tofu version of both curries which are heavenly. The pickled mango beet salad is very refreshing as are the fresh rolls. The service is attentive and always friendly. The atmosphere is so warm and happy, I love the decor. I do not live in Chicago but visit about 2 times a year and visiting Le Colonial is always the night I look forward to the most.

Le Colonial is hands down our favorite Chicago restaurant. The atmosphere is so unique and cozy, especially during Chicago winter. You feel like you’ve been transformed. The food is high quality ingredients, each bit is full of flavor and veggies. It’s delightful! And the service is next level. Located on Oak Street, we have started to come here for every special occasion. And now that we are celebrating more often at home with a little one, Le Colonial takeout is our favorite! SO DELICIOUS! Highly recommend the chicken curry and beef noodles. Can’t recommend Le Colonia enough.

The ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic. Each of the rooms is distinct and offers a different vibe for you to enjoy your food. I also love the homage they pay towards Vietnam’s culture in terms of art and food.
The food is also fantastic. We got the yellow curry and the tofu stir fry, neither of which we could finish fully.

Sadly, Le Colonial didn’t live up to the hype. The atmosphere was lovely, but the food was just average—nothing memorable. The two of us had the Cha gio, Banh Uot, Pho Bo, and Bo Luc Lac. Portions were surprisingly small for the price, and we left still hungry after spending quite a bit. For the cost, we expected more flavor and substance. Beautiful setting, but overall a disappointing experience.

Le Colonial: A perfect escape, assuming you don’t mind the crushing reality of returning to your real life afterward.
This Gold Coast staple nails the assignment. The atmosphere is so lush and transportive, it feels like they spent 90% of the budget on lighting and exotic plants. It was, without question, my favorite part. I’m already mentally decorating my non-existent veranda to look exactly like the second floor.
The French-Vietnamese hybrid cuisine was really good—no complaints there. Specifically, their version of the Peking Duck was very well done; perfectly crispy and entirely too satisfying.
But let’s talk about the Garlic Noodles. These noodles are the reason I am now planning a highly inconvenient solo trip back. I would betray someone for a bowl of those noodles in an instant. They are criminally good, and I resent them for making me feel such intense, singular devotion.
The service? Impeccable. They moved around the room with the silent, terrifying grace of people who are paid far too much to care that much. It made me feel simultaneously pampered and judged, which is the Gold Coast dining experience in a nutshell.
Come here, get excellent food (and those noodles), and witness interior design so stunning it will actively ruin your appreciation for every other space you occupy. It’s great. Don’t miss it.

I had a lunch here. I didn’t need a reservation to be seated right away. Food was great. I’d like to try different items on the menu next time. It’s a bit pricey but I think it would be a great date spot.

Le Colonial was the perfect place for our small wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with 70 guests. Pat went above and beyond helping us choose our menu and recommending an incredible florist who fit our style perfectly. On the day itself, Pat and the team were everywhere they needed to be – making sure everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about a thing. The food, the ambiance, and the service were all exceptional. Truly – a great venue for an intimate wedding.

La Colonial, Chicago: French-Vietnamese Fusion
Oh, La Colonial! This place is where chic Chicago meets a cool blend of Parisian elegance and vibrant Hanoi. I stumbled in and immediately knew my wallet was going to be lighter, but my soul? Fully nourished.
The Damage Report: Yes, it’s pricey. Like, “I need to check my bank account balance after the appetizer” pricey. But honestly, the moment the plate hits the table, you realize it’s an experience, not just a meal. Totally worth the splurge.
The Vibe & Service: They nail that perfect balance: Friendly, but incredibly respectful. The staff makes you feel like an old friend they haven’t seen in a while, but they maintain that classy, polished service that makes dining out special. Top-notch!
The Food (Pho-nomenal!): I went for the pho soup. Seriously, it was a hug in a bowl! The broth was deep, complex, and just pure comfort. It was a cold night and this warmed me right up.
The Drink (French Kiss Martini): And for the drink? I tried the French Kiss Martini. Ooh la la! It was the perfect blend of sophisticated and fun—smooth, a little sassy, and dangerously easy to sip. Highly recommend you give it a smooch!
The Verdict: I liked it a lot! Go for the food, stay for the drinks, and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. If you’re looking for a special night out in Chicago with killer French-Vietnamese cuisine, this is the spot. Bring a date or treat yourself!

I really enjoyed my dinner at Le Colonial Chicago; the Vietnamese flavors were fresh and well-balanced, especially the spring rolls and sea bass. The service was attentive and elegant, but I found the portions a bit smaller than expected for the price. The cozy, stylish atmosphere made the evening feel special, even though the dining room felt a little crowded
