" Nhu Lan Bakery is truly my go-to for authentic Vietnamese food. I tried the lemongrass chicken bánh mì, and it was incredibly delicious, packed with flavor and freshness. However, the wait time was somewhat long, which could be improved. If you have some spare time, the food is undeniably worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was craving bánh mì and stumbled upon Nhu Lan Bakery. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with friendly faces and an array of tempting options. I ordered the BBQ tofu, and it was so good that I might have to make it my regular order. The bread was fresh, and I appreciate that they have vegan options available. However, it was quite busy, and the seating is limited, making it feel a bit cramped. I look forward to my next visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is great if you want authentic Vietnamese dishes. I tried their vegetarian bánh mì with lemongrass tofu, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The staff was super friendly and helpful in recommending dishes. I’d say the only downside is the limited seating and that it’s not ideal for dining in but perfect for take-out. If you appreciate authenticity and flavor, Nhu Lan Bakery should top your list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the most incredible experience at Nhu Lan Bakery! The sandwiches were unbelievably fresh, and you could clearly taste the quality of ingredients. I ordered the BBQ pork bánh mì, and it was packed with flavor. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside, making each bite a delight. The staff were friendly despite the busy atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot if you’re craving authentic Vietnamese food. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nhu Lan Bakery is a hidden gem in Chicago that should not be missed! I've come here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The BBQ pork sandwich is to die for, and the bread is perfectly crusty. Although sometimes the service may be a little slow, the food definitely makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love visiting Nhu Lan Bakery! I usually grab their号针 (number order) for the best deal, and it is always satisfying. But do expect a bit of a wait. The grilled pork is my personal favorite, and the complementary flavors make it a must-try. The decor is basic and more suited for quick meals than a sit-down meal, but you might not even notice once you get that first delicious bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you've not visited Nhu Lan Bakery, you are truly missing out! I had the curry chicken bánh mì, and it was divine. The curry's richness paired perfectly with the fresh baguette. I found myself savoring every single bite. Their iced coffee was the cherry on top; it reminded me of my time in Vietnam. While the wait can be long during lunchtime, I promise it's worth every minute spent! " (*Curated Review*)
