If you are from Chicago you can't help but agree that the north side is the example of the American melting pot. African, Asians, Hispanic, European are condensed into one area and live harmoniously. But if you drive down Broadway avenue you will see a street named Argyle. Argyle is one block concentrated with some of the best Asian cuisine you will ever taste outside of china town. One particular place that has really caught my tastebuds is Pho Xe Tank Restaurant or Tank Noodle which it is known as.
What makes this place so good? Well, lets start with the Pho. This place hands down has the best Pho in the city. This is coming from someone who has eaten Pho at expensive and inexpensive places. What makes it so good? Who knows and quite honestly who cares. The stuff is downright good. What also makes this place a keeper is the extensive menu and and low prices. If you go there you have to try number 190 -- chicken with lemongrass, onions, bell peppers, and a metric grip load of chili peppers . My goodness that is good eating.
When you go to Tank you will see that it is extremely busy. However, even as busy as it is... you will not be waiting very long for a seat. Go there with a few people and pick different items on the menu. This is a great way to let you palette enjoy the different types of spices and flavors that are central to Vietnamese cuisine. Tank noodle will definitely open up a brand new world.
