- KKatChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLe Colonial is a must-do every time I come home to Chicago. The food prep and presentation are outstanding as is the gracious service. The room is relaxing even when every table is filled. I have been dining at Le Colonial since its original location on Rush Street and have never been disappointed. I wish there was a location in Blue Ridge, GA. Highly recommended.More infoLe Colonial - Chicago$$$$• Vietnamese• Gold Coast / Streeterville•4.8
