    This place is legit. Go for the special. Chicken was just meh. Cheap and fast and most importantly delicious!

    First tried their no.1 banh mi in 2021 I believe, when they first opened- was not impressed at the time; not much filling or flavor for whatever the price was back then. Never came back, but DID consistently go the sit-down sister spot Kitchen co ut on Chrystie street for pho over the years. Figured I'd give this place another shot, since it's been 5 years... and I'm glad I did! Much improved- excellent flavor, excellent meat-veggie-bread ratio. They definitely improved it. Maybe it was newly opened growing pains back then. Got the no.1. Will be back to try the other ones when I'm in the area. Service is decently quick depending on the line- lots of people working back there. Space is tight and can feel a bit oppressive. Two chairs where you can sit inside but it's kind of uncomfortable to sit and eat with everyone else ordering and waiting for their food.

    As TikTok recommended, I had to try it -- and it did not disappoint. It absolutely lives up to the hype. Everything is made in-house, from the bread to the marinated vegetables, which really shows in the freshness and flavor of the sandwiches. I ordered the #1. Flavor-wise, it was spot on, but the texture leaned a bit too mushy for my personal preference (just a me thing). Still, the balance of flavors was excellent. I'd definitely come back to try the #3 next time. Overall, a solid spot that's worth the buzz.

    Located 1 1/2 blocks north of Canal St., near Little Italy area. Multiple subway lines and buses in the vicinity. Banh Mi Co Ut is a takeout place. There were a few stools inside, sat while I waited since there were a few orders ahead of mine. Most customers were waiting outside, some were eating. Ordered and got my number (someone calls out the number when an order is ready) Got the #3 - with pork belly, vietnamese ham, pate, veggies and pork floss. Though didn't taste the pork belly as much and bready, was a good sandwich. Only $7.50. Would return to try more on the menu.

    Straightforward bahn mi place that only takes cash. My usual go to because they're quick and the sandwiches are pretty big. I got one to go and walked down to Union Square where I had a nice peaceful lunch in the park. Even after half an hour of walking, the bread was still soft inside and a little crunchy outside. I only ate half and had the other half the next day and it was just as fantastic. They also sell Vietnamese coffee, which I hope to try one day too.

    It took me over a year of living in New York to finally find a bánh mì spot that truly reminds me of home, and Bánh Mì Cô Út exceeded all my expectations. I ordered the lemongrass tofu bánh mì, and it was absolutely delicious. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients, but what stood out most was the bread. They bake it fresh every day, and it's exactly how a bánh mì should be--perfectly crunchy on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior. The Vietnamese coffee is no joke either--it is *insanely* strong in the best way and the perfect pick-me-up. Whenever I'm craving a little taste of home, this is where I come. It's become one of my favorite spots, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for an authentic, delicious bánh mì in NYC.

    While the prices are a bit cheaper than other banh mi spots in the area the flavors weren't there for me. The pate was very strong, you can really taste the liver and I wasn't a fan. Having pork floss with it wasn't something I would have again and the pickled radish and carrots weren't as potent as I would like. The bread tho, it was great and crispy. I'm not sure if you can even get the sandwiches spicy because the lady didn't ask if I wanted that as an option. Very small restaurant with stools to sit and eat inside and a bench outside.

    Food: This place has delicious banh mi sandwiches for an excellent price (classic is only $7.50). I tried the classic which was very tasty; it's not the best banh mi I've tried, but it's definitely a great value for the size and price. They also sell very traditional Vietnamese snacks and sweets. I placed a big catering order here of 20 classic sandwiches, and they are all consistent and made well. If you buy 10 classic sandwiches, you get 1 for free. I look forward to coming back here to try some of their other sandwiches. Service: Staff are extremely friendly here! Ambiance: This is a very small shop in Chinatown with no seating. Overall, I would highly recommend this banh mi shop!

    Wow, this is my new favorite banh mi spot (yes, I'm aware they've been around for awhile) and here's why: - Fresh bread made in house - Concise menu with the essentials - Quick service/turnaround time to get your order We ordered 2x of the #1 combo sandwich, iced Vietnamese coffee. The sandwich itself was filled well with the typical ingredients-only gripe was that it was a tad dry and could've used more butter/mayo! Would definitely visit their other locations to try other menu items-just wish they took Zelle / Venmo / credit card.

    I've been trying to find a new go to Banh Mi place in Chinatown and decided to try Bánh Mì Cô because I was told that they make their bread fresh daily. I did notice a difference in the bread remaining soft and lightly crunchy, and despite re-toasting it when I got home it did not get overly hard and dry. I ordered the #3 Banh Mi Truyen Vietnam $7.50 (which includes pork belly boiled Vietnamese ham, pate, meat floss, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, carrot and daikon), and #8 Banh Mi Thit Heo Nurong Ngu Vi $8.50 (which includes 5 spice BBQ pork, dark soy sauce, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, carrot and daikon) The filling variety is a little different from what I'm used to as well, as I have never had pork belly and meat floss in my banh mi and I'm used to BBQ pork being more minced as opposed to cubed. But the flavor combinations were still good. Note that this place is cash only!

    Came earlier this week to pick up a four banhmis for my family. We saw the #3 was pretty popular so we opted for that one and #1 since that was their special. I didn't realize that they were so similar or I would've chosen something else for more variety! Also, I got the veg on the side since we were driving back to queens and it would be an hour till we got to eat them. By the time we got home, the bread was still super crisp - not hard like a lot of places can get!! Eating right after would've been amazing. I did enjoy the banhmi but prefer chicken or pork so I'll have to try those! Cash only and definitely a no frills type of store front.

    I always get the #1 Banh Mi Co Ut Special sandwich when I go here. The person taking the order was friendly and busy with taking in-store and phone orders. It's cash only here. The wait for the sandwich didn't take long. It's a small space that had three stools that people were sitting on while waiting for their orders and a small bench in front of the store, so it's more of a take-out spot. As always, the bread this time around had a nice crunch to it and the meat to pickled veggies ratio was just right. It was a delicious and satisfying sandwich, with fresh ingredients. They also offer Vietnamese snacks, desserts, and drinks. I will be back to try them and some other sandwich flavors.

    Great little takeout spot to grab a banh mi to-go. I happened to arrive early around opening time, and their bbq pork wasn't ready for order yet. Instead, I tried the #7 banh mi with lemongrass beef meatballs, and it was delicious! The sandwich itself is nicely filled with plenty of ingredients, though I thought the bread was just a tad more on the crispier side than I preferred. Still a great sandwich for a very reasonable price.

I got the pho ($21.78), which is steep for pho, but I guess that's Midtown prices for you. The wait was a slog--over 20 minutes for a bowl of pho, which other Yelp reviews warned about. When it finally arrived, the soup lacked that authentic pho aroma, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the beef was fresh, and the reusable to-go bag was a nice touch.

I ordered "Plain Pho", which is described as just broth and noodles, no garnish or meat. After waiting 30 minutes, for what is literally the simplest item on the menu, the bowl is brought out and it's a bowl of broth with a couple slices of chicken. No noodles. When I inquired, the server told me it's because I ordered the Plain Pho... yea and I said it comes with noodles and broth. They told me they could get me noodles, but acted like they were doing me a favor by fetching noodles for me, which was quite offputting because the noodles were quite literally half of the dish I actually ordered. How does one wait half-an-hour at a very casual fast Vietnamese food place, for premade soup and noodles, and still have the order wrong? In the end, I did get my noodles and broth, but the fact that I had to spend this much time and also justify my request for noodles (which are part of the dish) is quite insane. I put this at 2 stars for now, because I enjoyed my first time. Hopefully the service will improve.

So when my family stumbled into Pho 39, a tiny spot with just a handful of tables tucked away from the chaos outside, it felt less like finding a restaurant and more like discovering a Rebel outpost that somehow survived undetected in the middle of Imperial territory. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a solid Vietnamese spot: pho, combination rice plates, the usual lineup. We were ready to order and move on with our lives. Then we saw the tacos. Vietnamese tacos. On the menu. Sitting right there between the banh mi and the spring rolls like they'd always belonged. Nobody in my family said anything for a full three seconds, which for us is basically a standing ovation. We ordered the duck spring rolls to start, which were fresh, well packed, and disappeared faster than a starfighter in hyperspace. For the mains we went with the beef flank pho and the banh mi combination special. The pho had a clean, well developed broth that clearly had some time put into it, and the beef flank was tender enough to make you slow down and pay attention. The banh mi combo was solid, balanced, and hit all the right notes. We did not get the tacos this visit, which means we have a built in reason to return and nobody can argue with that logic. For a small room in the middle of one of the busiest cities on the planet, Pho 39 manages to feel genuinely calm and focused. Good food, good value, and a menu with enough surprises to keep things interesting. The Force is strong with this little spot.

It was about 92°F outside and there was no AC. They did have a couple of fans running to help with the heat, but unfortunately, they weren't enough. The restaurant has an open-kitchen concept, which is nice because you can see the kitchen, but you can also feel the heat coming from it. With the front door left open, the summer heat was coming in as well, making it extremely hot inside. There were also quite a few flies circling around, which I'm assuming was partly due to the door being left open. That made the dining experience less comfortable, especially while eating. I would've given 5 stars for the food because it was delicious, but the heat, flies, and overall dining environment really took away from the experience. I'd definitely come back for the food, but I hope they find a better solution for keeping the restaurant cool and comfortable during the summer months.
