Cà Phê Dá - Dang Good Wings - Chicago, Illinois

Sean McQuillan

I had high hopes for a cafe style restaurant owned by HaiSous. This place still surpassed my expectations. The Vietnamese slow drip tasted like really good strong cold brew. The chicken curry meal was delicious, and it was the perfect lunch sized portion for me

So “The Food Guy” on NBC Chicago raved about their wings. We were so excited to try it. Not only was it not what the photos show, it was raw!! We had to throw it away. Extremely disappointing. Hope I don’t get sick now either. This is are not “dang good wings”.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now, and I finally did today. I really liked their egg custard coffee, and it was awesome that they can make it decaffeinated for me. I also tried their works sandwich, chicken skin, and chicken and rice dish. Everything was on the salty side. The chicken skin was interesting, but extremely salty. The chicken and rice was tasty, but too salty as well. The works sandwich was a real disappointment. It consisted of roast pork, beef, and chicken. The bread was soggy, and all the meat was bland. The only thing I could taste was the very mild mayo. Overall, it was just okay. I think I will come back for the custard coffee for sure. Service was friendly too.

Came on a Saturday an hour and a half before they closed. The service team seemed a little dazed / confused / tired because they were slow to provide things like water or the up front payment but still greeted us with a smile.
Got all 3 flavors of wings, and unfortunately the fish sauce wings didn’t taste as good as the wings at Hai Sous since they were a tad too salty. Would be perfect with rice though! Their lemon wings and buffalo wings were really good, and their seasoned fries and banh mi were average. Ca phe sua da didn’t taste as strongly of the usual robusta coffee flavor, but we enjoyed it more as just a creamy sweet iced coffee.
I was confused by the ordering / catering system so I tipped a little less than I usually would. I think I got confused because the POS interface was behind the servers?

Would come here again, but Hooters reigns supreme in the wings department. Would go to Hai Sous instead.

The wings here are absolutely delicious. The cinnamon sticky bun and the lychee danish as well. I'm seriously set on coming here to taste the entire menu. I have found my favorite neighborhood spot. I wish they had a bigger beer selection and that's probably my only complaint.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, welcoming seating areas, nice coffee... Just don't expect great, consistent, or 'authentic' Vietnamese food -- chicken soup noodles tasted blend and the noodles weren't cooked through the first time I got it; tried the second time, the noodles looked like a completely different dish (compare the two pictures) -- and they still tasted blend. Chicken skins were decent (if you like sweet and savory) but it's pricey for a small portion.

Incredible atmosphere and amazing Vietnamese dishes! Everyone is so friendly and passionate which translates directly to impeccably delicious food! Casual options compared to upper scale Hai Sous next door with the same level of attention. Pictured: Brioche and coconut jam, custard espresso, sticky rice and chicken, chicken skin, the works banh mi, all super yummy!

Simple yet delicious Viet comfort food! Everything is fresh and flavorful and really comforting and satisfying!

The coconut slushy is so good and creamy! The workers lunch is also a great option if you're extra hungry! I only wish the pho ga was a bigger bowl! Can't wait to try more items on the menu.
