2 Asian Brothers

I tried this spot for the first time today and I’m glad I did. The location is inviting and clean, friendly staff, fast service, fresh food. The egg rolls are good and they’re not greasy at all! Big plus! The fried rice with chicken is good, but could use more flavor. Overall I was very pleased with my experience here. I haven’t eaten pan Asian food that seemed like a good, healthy meal in a long time. Good stuff!

Great food and fast service! I’ve had the bbq pork noodle salad and bbq banh mi. Portions are big for the price that you pay. Their coconut milk tea ($ 3) is delicious! Tapioca (+$ 0.25) is soft, in a good way!

I usually order the shredded beef sandwich and it never fails on me. The wings taste great on the side too! It’s a nice place to grab a bite and even study in after. The smoothies could be a bit better but they still taste pretty good, but that won’t stop me from going there again.

This was my very first bánh mì spot!
Casual place with friendly staff eager to explain anything and everything on the menu.
I absolutely LOVE the veggie bánh mì — it’s loaded with sweet potato shreds, seasoned vermicelli noodles, shredded seasoned tofu, pickled daikon, shredded carrots, just the right amount of mayo and cilantro, and the baguette is always soft and warm.
The smoothies are great too! Try an avocado one for an amazing flavor experience!

I heard the hype. Didn’t live up to it. Food was mediocre at best. They charge for spice level. And cilantro was on everything. Not horrible. But not something I would come back to.

Such a treat! Their street noodles are delicious. The flavor is wonderful and you can get them in varying degrees of spiciness.
The sandwiches are great as are their spring rolls. The place is super clean and the staff is so nice and helpful.
Finish off with a smoothie – especially if you eat something spicy!

All you need is the 8 Asian wings with extra rice: super affordable for 2 people, and consistently great! Spread the Sriracha over the fried rice and you’ll never need to go anywhere else for Asian wings.
Hillsongs fans would love this place as well with it being on repeat almost every time I’ve stopped by. The atmosphere is great and always clean. Could the layout of the seats been a bit more aesthetic to avoid giving a cafeteria feel? Yea… but free wifi and reasonably priced meals will keep one from skipping the lunch line. Top your meal off with their vietnamese iced coffee and you’ll be coming back for seconds soon!

Was looking forward to trying this place, unfortunately I had a pretty disappointing experience.
The good:
— Clean, modern interior.
— Prices seemed reasonable.
— Pork and Shrimp spring rolls were great! Good size portion for $ 4 as well.
The bad:
— My entrée was inedible as it reeked like wet dog. I got the combination meat fried rice and it looked good but smelled so bad I couldn’t eat more than a few bites.
— The guy helping me (younger white guy) wasn’t too friendly.

Amazing food and it’s a really reasonable price! I had the noodle salad and it was delicious. I will definitely be back there soon!

Great quick food if you’re in the area. Packed with college students and teenagers because of the schools nearby. The service is generally quick an the staff is friendly. The décor is plain but clean and modern. I recommend the chicken fried rice! I use to come here more often but stopped after I found a hair in my food :(
The deal on sundays for NPU students is awesome especially if you’re on a budget.

We got the street noodles with chicken and rolls. The noodles are very good ! They have a nice flavor to them and it’s enough to share. The rolls are not something I would get again. They had a fresh taste to them due to the mint but the sauces with them needed more flavor .
The service is fast and friendly.

One of my favorite neighborhood places.
My favorite is their Asian Wings. They are cooked to perfection and super crispy.

I live just 5 minutes from 2 Asian Brothers (not a fan of the name) and work 30 minutes away. Once in a while I order Banh Mi for my office, everyone just gets so excited. Our favorite is Pork Belly, then Roast Beef, and Vegetarian, and a few of us always get 2 sandwiches. The bread is great, and these sandwiches are probably the best in Chicago, even better than Pot Belly’s.
I have ordered fried rice, it is very good, not as good as fried rice at Viet Bowl in Uptown, but quite close.
Chicken wings are good too but I think the wings at Great Sea restaurant (Albany Park, on Lawrence, west of Kedzie) are better.
Over all, this is absolutely my favorite place to get Banh Mi.

Love Love Love Vietnamese food… and these tasty bahn mi sandwiches are some of the best around! We often order from 2 Asian brothers for lunch, and are never disappointed… well, I always ask for extra cilanto and it seems that they give me even less! But besides that, quite delish! My fave is the shredded chicken. Their bread here is better than most. It’s soft and chewy and not overly crusty and crunchy like alot of bahn mi’s. Another great thing to try is the fried rice… get it spicy. You will NOT be disappointed!

It’s very ironic that this place is next to a Jimmy John’s. Here’s a rule of being a Chicago foodie: when you see a commercial, national-​chain restaurant, look around its proximity, and you will find something else… better!
It’s a spacious, bright venue where many North Park University students are hanging out (I see lots of students flux into the door, and I followed right behind them). I stopped by here to pick up some food for my dinner break at work since I dislike any of the choices at the Fashion Outlets in Rosemont. I ordered the noodle salad with shrimp ($ 7), and the food was ready within ten (10) minutes.
I didn’t consume it immediately, but it tasted just as delicious after three (3) hours of the time span leaving in the room temperature. They had an ample amount of veggies, shrimps, and two (2) egg rolls that were done in Vietnamese style. I liked that the sriracha sauce, Vietnamese vinegar, and the peanuts were in separated containers and placed on the side, so I could carry the entire meal on the bus without any sorts of leakage. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster!
If you’re a North Park University student, there’s a Sunday meal special after 4pm. I’m too old to be back to college. That’s for sure.
I will certainly come back for other items on the menu. I like this place because it’s located on Foster Ave., making it accessible to the CTA 92 bus. There’s a bus stop either on Kedzie or on Sawyer (in front of the Kronor restaurant).

I’ve never eaten here. I tried to.
I called them to place an order for pick up so we could have breakfast on our way to work. I asked for, «Bun Thit Nuong.» Whoops, they guy didn’t understand Viet! My fault.
Then I asked for grilled pork which is typical for every viet sandwich place to have. They didn’t have this on their menu! So I opted for their special then.
If anything couldn’t get any worse… They didn’t have bread.

I absolutely love this place! Friendly people and even better food. I normally get the banh mi special and or chicken wings. The abundance of meat per chicken wing and the flavors are just amazing. I’ve taken bites of other dishes like the bun thit nuong and the fried rice — all were delicious as well. They sell smoothies too. All in all, good food, service, and prices. Come get you some!

I just opened an office for my business just a couple of blocks away on Foster Ave. I was sitting in the office debating what to do for lunch. Then I remembered I have seen this place a few times and researched them online.
The ended up going here and I am glad I did. I got the shredded chicken sandwich and it was amazing. By far of my my favorite sandwiches I ever had. I told my wife we have to go again in the next couple of days for her to try it as well.
The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star review is because I did the research of the menu before I went in and I knew what I wanted. It worked out perfectly for me. The menu they have in the the store does not have any descriptions about what is in the sandwich. It is such an easy fix I am surprised they did not already. So make sure to look up the menu online before going in.
I am will there over and over again for lunch! So glad it is so close to my new office.

Have ordered from here for lunch a number of times and everything has been fresh and great tasting!
