Kitchen Cô Út - Broad Channel

I loved their Banh Mi shop so when I heard they opened a restaurant I was eager to try it. I’ve been here around 5 times now and they’ve been very consistent. The dish to get is the Hu Tieu and Banh Bot Loc both which are not usually done at a typical Vietnamese restaurant. Last minute they were able to seat 13 people so it’s good for large groups too. Bring cash or there’s a fee for credit cards.

This place is real. Thrilled NYC has finally landed a legitimate Viet ristorante

Happy to find a classic Vietnamese restaurant (murals included). The food is very reasonably priced. We had bánh bột lọc and papaya salad, which were great. The bánh canh cua noodle soup is delicious and loaded with crab meat. The lemongrass tofu noodle bowl was tasty as well. We grab a few desserts to-go as well and all came out to $60. Also, bring cash because they charge a 3% credit card fee.

The pho broth is a little too sweet and the bun bo hue is bland. The cha lua (pork roll/sausage) you can add has wayyyy too much black pepper. Banh bot loc are okay, I appreciate that they’re on the menu since it’s very uncommon to find in restaurants. The price is fair at $12 an entree but I would pay more for better food…

Delicious and inexpensive. The service was super fast but they weren’t rushing us to go. The Cha Gio (spring rolls) and Bo Kho (beef stew) were especially good. We’ll be back!
