  • Chicago has one of the best Chinatowns in the world, but few people outside the city know that just up the red line lies yet another vibrant Asian enclave
    In this film we are going on a tour of the Windy City’s less famous Asian neighborhood “Little Saigon” aka "Little Vietnam" aka "New Chinatown" aka "Asia on Argyle" - we’re taking you on a Vietnamese food tour, showing you some dope street murals and giving you everything you need to know about this landmark Chicago neighborhood - on the first day of the year of the tiger!

    Happy Lunar New Year #GustoNATION 🐅 - The past two years have been VERY TOUGH on the businesses and restaurants in Chicago's "Little Saigon" neighborhood. Please support these LOCAL spots and get yourself some fire Vietnamese food!

Thank you for your videos, they really helped me stay excited through all the craziness of moving. It's happening!!

    I live only a block from Little Saigon. So much great food. I would love to see a part 2. Thank you for going into Bamboo. It's one of the few places I haven't tried. I will definitely be checking them out. Pho 777 is my inlaws favorite place for us to brunch at when they visit us. As soon as they finish the new station I see a big surge in popularity for the area. I can't wait.

    Excellent, fun, and informative video Luis! I vote for a part 2 video featuring Sun Wah BBQ, and it's rich history and journey from New York's Chinatown to Chicago, serving up roasted duck, noodles, Hong Kong cuisine swirling on lazy susans. Also a fan of Tank Noodle and Indie Cafe all on Broadway. Great videos!

      Stay away from Tank Noodle- so unethical! They just were fined $700k by the feds because they didn’t pay their workers at all, only let them get a percentage of tips earned. Total BS

    7:57 there is a red lion behind you! okay in Asia that animal head costume is called the lion dance made in China
    and other countries have other varieties of it was a way that the Chinese could scare off evil spirits in the New Years
    and bring in good luck using two pro formers one at the front and one at the back they really make the costume act like a real animal using various martial art skills [Gosh Dang!!!!]
