Tank Noodle (Pho Xe Tang), Chicago

This noodle house is one of the many gems waiting to be discovered in the Argyle Street area. Family-style, round table seating and a bright, welcoming decor make it a convenient destination for large groups. During rush periods, couples are often seated at tables with other customers to save space. The popular meal option here is Pho, Vietnamese beef soup that comes with cilantro, jalapenos and bean sprouts. The portions here are enormous; one bowl is enough to satisfy two people. Aside from Pho, there are many other options, such as the creamy Coconut Milk Chicken Curry or the light and satisfying Chao Ga ("rice soup"). Bubble teas and tropical smoothies go well with the spicier selections. - Gina Rosemellia
