i'm gonna be emotional bc having eaten banh mis from CA, I refuse to eat any vietnamese food in nyc (sorry!!!). however when a fellow californian convinced (dragged) me to this place, I decided to give it a try. needless to say I was shocked at how close it was to the banh mis I grew up with and loved!!! the fresh bread is really the star of the show!

Banh Mi Co Ut - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Love getting sandwiches on a whim from this chain. I normally come here and or the Mott street location (I hate that Instagram has popularized this chain and made it busy for the locals but love the fact that the owners are getting the business) when I have to go on a trip. I remember getting a roasted pork Banh Mi to go on a trip to Atlanta and when I landed I was so happy I had the sandwich. It tasted so good even after a few hours. Since then, I would always get a Banh Mi on the go. The service is always quick and i would always get full eating half of it and save the other half for another snack/meal. The bread, since it's freshly baked every morning, it stays crunchy. But the best time to eat it is when they first assembled it. read more

Legit Viet sandwich here. If you want authentic, check this out. I'm always on the hunt for a good Viet sandwich and this place has so many options. Their Viet coffee was killer. I would opt out of toasting the bread next time because it was too toasted for me. Otherwise the filling and ingredients were spot on and it was nice to have an authentic bite of goodness. They are super quick in making sandwiches because we ordered 10 and they made it in good time. The classic with pate and the roast pork sandwiches were great. It's a small spot but they move quick. read more

Their tofu veggie banh mi is quite flavorful! They take care to marinate it really well so every bite is savory and satisfying. Highly recommended! read more

First time trying the banh mi at this location. Like the other location, ordering and getting our banh mi was quick. I really liked it. Everything was fresh, and the sandwich was loaded with different types of meat and veggies. They sell a lot of other snacks and items, along with drinks. The staff were courteous and helpful. I would say this is a no frill establishment. Make sure to their #1-Special. read more

If you ask the Vietnamese New Yorkers which place has the best bánh mì in NYC, everyone would say Bánh mì cô út. Honestly, for $7.5 it's not a bad deal at all for such an expensive city like NY. I absolutely devoured the traditional Bánh mì that I ordered. I love that they make their bread in house as well. They have 2 stores located in the Chinatown area. This place is pretty much a grab-and-go so just a heads up. Perfect for breakfast and a quick lunch. They also have a drink menu and some ready-made items. I highly recommend you checking this place out if you are ever in the area. read more

I love Banh Mi Co Ut and enjoy going every week. I made the mistake of calling ahead to the wrong location-I always prefer the Elizabeth St location, that one is also way busier than this one, probably for the right reasons though. While this location was able to crank out my sandwich quicker, the quality of the pork belly I got was 90% fat and they truly skimped on the pickled veggies. I will definitely still go back to Banh Mi Co Ut, but only the Elizabeth St location!!!!! read more

$5 Vietnamese coffee!! I really liked that it was a standard Vietnamese iced coffee with no frills. My original destination was le gaz, to try their signature Vietnamese coffee drinks, but at 1 pm on a Saturday, they were already sold out. So finding this place was a happy accident. Just a note that this shop is cash only if you're stopping by in person! read more

Banh Mi Co Ut - Vietnamese coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped by to pick up some banh mis on the Sunday of LDW at around noon. I had tried the other location a while back and remember liking it, so we decided to check this one out since we were in the area. I usually get the special but I saw that they have grilled sausage here (which is hard to find), so I knew I had to try that out. It's supposed to come with peanut sauce but since we were going to eat it later, I asked for it on the side and they said they don't have any containers. So strange. So I decided to get the sandwich without it because I didn't want it to be soggy. The sausage was really good but I was there was more of it. The sandwich was mostly veggies. Hubbie did get the special, and they don't skimp on the meat for that one. I would probably just stick to the special next time for that reason. Tip - cash only read more

This banh mi shop is known to be one of the best in NYC and also is the only (that I'm aware of) to bake their bread in-house! They have a variety of different filling options but I got their special when I went. It was delicious. The bread was crispy and flaky on the outside and perfect soft on the side. They also weren't skimping on filling, pate, or any veggies. Absolutely delicious and I would come back. And, remember to bring cash as they are cash only! read more

Banh Mi Co Ut - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

I LOVEEEE their banh mis! They bake the baguettes fresh in the back. They offer many different versions of banh mi. I tried the #1 which is the Banh Mi Co Ut Special (varieties of pork cold cut meats) and the #8 - Banh Mi with 5 spice BBQ pork (hot and marinated meat). Both were delicious, but depending on my mood, I could see myself going for either. The banh mis range from $8-$9.50. They serve them cut in half, and the sandwich is filling, but depending if youre eating it as a snack, having just the half is a decent portion of food. They serve different Vietnamese snacks here (savories and sweets). They also have Vietnamese iced coffee and fresh-to-order sugarcane juice. Banh Mi Co Ut has two different locations in Chinatown. I visited this one, but my understanding is they carry the same items and have the same exact menu, so it's just a matter of convenience which one you go to. Note: there is no seating, and it's a cash-only establishment. read more

They bake their bread in house here and use fresh quality ingredients in their banh mis. I got an Iced Vietnamese Coffee which was balanced with both bitterness and sweetness really well. Their most popular orders are the No.1 and No.8. The No.1 has all the classic cold cuts like pate, ham, jambon, and pork belly. The No.8 is made with grilled bbq pork. I loved the crunchiness of the bread but it was perfectly toasted and still chewy. Every bite was so satisfying and I'll definitely be back! read more

Solid sandwiches at fair prices. All the choices should be $10 or less even. They carry some summer rolls and other bites but I'm usually here for sandwiches. No ambience to speak of as it's just a takeout spot. They run out of the chicken more often than not. Another tip, request your modifications up front. They don't entertain changes after your sandwich is made. Otherwise, the sandwiches are solid. I like that they don't shy away from pate and head cheese but there are plenty of more vanilla options available. The pate could be richer, the veggies perhaps more tart, and they could definitely pick out the tougher cilantro stems. Still, it's satisfying enough that I regularly pick these up when I'm in Chinatown. read more

I ordered a #3 and it was delicious, bread is made fresh daily, their bread is very soft. This is my go to banhi mi spot. All the flavors go well together, and good portions. read more

Solid banh mi. I had the #10 with tofu and vegetarian meat. The bread was very crispy, and the fillings were flavorful. It was a tasty and light meal for $9.50, prepared quickly. There's no seating in the shop, and it's cash only. read more

This is the second location of Banh Mi Co Ut, but in this location their bread is made more like a classic Vietnamese Banh Mi, which has been surprisingly hard for me to find in NYC. Sandwiches are excellent, the special actually tastes like a classic Banh Mi Dac Biet you'd get in other areas. They have a wide variety of other snacks and small plates, and you can buy many of the fillings that go into the sandwiches (such as the head cheese and the cha lua). There is no seating, so this is a buy and go kind of place, but when we went the line wasn't too long, and it was pretty easy to get in and out. read more

First off, a "hole in the wall" local eatery that only takes cash is typically good in my opinion, so I decided to get one of them Vietnamese Sammies. It was clear that the #1 was the neighborhood fave, but I went with the #7, meatball with carrots, daikon, and other julienned veggies. This tasty treat was in my hands with 7 minutes of ordering, if that. I just right in because a bish was starving. I immediately knew I wouldn't be able to stop until the whole thing was done. I do my best to not eat in the street, but sometimes you gotta get down on some street food. Seriously delicious! Can't wait to get it again! read more

Got the number 2 and 3 - ordered ahead of time via phone (highly recommend). The number 3 is my go-to. I really enjoy their very fresh crispy bread! authentic banh mi! This is their second location - the other one is like a 5-10 min walk on elizabeth street (very close by) read more

Great banh mi and great value! Love their #1 and #3. Great picnic sandwich option also.

Finally, some crave worthy and affordable authentic Vietnamese food, and not only that, but Banh Mi! Since the spot itself is very small, it's a grab-and-go kind of deal. There's just two staff manning the station so being patient is key! Besides that, they have a quick turnaround time, from ordering to getting your takeout. First time here and of course I had to go for their classic, the #1. The outward crunchiness with inclusion of its notorious flakiness, the softness of the meats blending seamlessly together in a melody of goodness, or the sprigs of cilantro protruding about as you're gnawing away was just utterly delectable. I had forgotten the lovely simplicity of a fresh banh mi, and savored every bite of my mouse moment. The only thing I would've desired in that moment was perhaps some spicy peppers in there or some acidity to cut the savouriness of the sandwich--perhaps an extra small portion of pickles veggies on the side. They are cash only, which while I might find a tad bit inconvenient, I believe helps keep the costs down. The sandwich was nicely split in two and put in two separate paper sleeves perfect for sharing, or tucked away after as a second meal. It easily boasts itself as a perfectly portioned light meal for just under $10. The soft spoken and polite chú manning the counter, whose calm utterances mingled between both Vietnamese and Canto helped me not only feel at ease, but quite optimistic about the food quality. While subtle a sign, he did not let me down. I was so pleased to see they offer a variety of prepared Vietnamese goods--from Cha lua, nem chua, che, and banh bo. All of these were on the affordable end of the spectrum. I ended up grabbing some baked goods, and was promptly instructed to heat them up before eating. My heart swelled a little when I noticed their "Ya-ourt," or Yogurt. I had some nostalgic flashbacks of my mom making them in little Gerber jars growing up and labeling them in that little polite Vietnamese penmanship. The affordability, tastiness, simplicity, and variety of this place so far cannot be beat for me. I'll be yearning to go back in order to try the rest of the sandwiches whenever I'm back in the area. Coming from California there's a severe lack of delicious and affordable Vietnamese cuisine here so this will definitely be a pillar for me. Thank you Bánh Mì Cô Út team! read more

I've been seeing a lot of tiktoks about Banh Mi Co Ut, but I didn't realized there were so many of them all over Chinatown. This particular one was a hole in a wall, so don't expect much of an ambiance. The cashier was really nice and didn't rush us to order. I knew I had to try the #1 and the wait for the food wasn't long at all (granted that there was only one other customer before us). The bread was softer than other banh mi places, so that was interesting. The flavor was really good, but I don't know if it's any better than other Banh Mi spots in the city but still a decent Banh Mi. read more

Best Banh Mi in Manhattan. I like #1 and #2. I also love the iced coffee. The folks who work here are also very sweet and recognize regular customers. Highly recommend this for a tasty meal and especially a value meal. read more

Best bang mi in NYC. Bread is baked in house and is perfect inside and out. Fillings are generous and perfectly balanced

I came here after a morning of Chinatown errand running and it's going to become a stop for me now. I've struggled to find a bahn mi that really scratches that itch, and this is the one. I got the No. 1, the Bahn Mi Co Ut Special (without cilantro because I unfortunately have the thing where it tastes like soap). It could have used something herbaceous -- but that's on me and not the location. I had the first half right away and it was fantastic but if you want a real treat, forget the other half in your backpack while you run other errands and eat it a couple hours later. It's honestly better that way! It's something about all of the ingredients intermingling (and maybe a growing appetite) that makes it great. I would suggest this to anyone. I suppose avoid this location if you're just in it for the social media posts? There's no IG background moment waiting for you. But the staff was super nice and accommodating. Everything was fresh -- the pickled veg stood out to me. It was a good counter balance to the deli meats and pate. I also got the pandan honeycomb -- I haven't tried it yet but if the sandwich is any indication, I'm sure it'll be great. read more

Pretty good tofu banh mi, and you can't beat the price. Only complaint is my friend ordered the xoi (sticky rice) and his order literally took over 20 minutes. I'm not sure if they forgot or were just busy, but they were friendly and apologetic when we asked for our order. Cash only. read more

I was happy to come across a Bahn mi place in NY Chinatown which boasted great ratings on Yelp. Always looking for a good grilled pork Bahn mi; I so wanted this to be delicious but was sadly disappointed. I've had many grilled pork Bahn mi sandwiches in the tri state area and this the first one where the pork was in processed form with a consistency like that of Spam. Hard pass. My search continues. read more

poor customers service, the food is ok but poor customers service, I have to control my nerves so I can get the food
