CoCo Vietnamese Sandwiches & Phở

chicken pho, Vietnamese iced coffee, 2 spring rolls ( shrimp, chicken curry), iced tea. delicious and ample portions! was delicious, tasty, seasoned perfectly, priced moderately. not for dine in or family/groups. possibly undergoing renovation not sure because wall was open to construction right next to only single table inside. Otherwise courteous and accommodating cashier and cook who brought out my dishes without much of a wait plus enough privacy to enjoy my m2l. Good for takeout as lots of orders and cards accepted with minimum $10 purchase. location by #9 & 81 bus lines. easy ordering simple menu.

I love these Banh Mis because it’s light enough to feel like you can go for a light jog after but heavy enough that you are fully satisfied. Some say CoCo holds the best Banh Mis this side of the Mississippi. All are confused as to how such a simple mix of ingredients can bring such extraordinary results. All the ingredients are so environmentally friendly and fresh and you can taste it! So much so that when you eat their banh mi’s a piece of the ozone layer actually heals itself. I think bar none quality to price ratio Co Co may be the best in Chicago. They only do takeout or delivery since the pandemic, just do not think about ordering on Tuesday as that is the only day they are closed. If I’m in Lincoln Square or even passing by, heck within driving’s distance and feel a twinge of hunger you can bet I’m stopping by here and you should to, just not on Tuesdays.

Very good Bahn Mi. This place is totally unassuming and frankly a little random from a street view perspective but do not let that deter you. Living around the corner I’ve been curious about it for a while and after finally talking to someone who has been decided to order some food and am thrilled I did. The bread and veggies were incredibly fresh and the lemon grass pork was well seasoned and prepared. The bread was soft and were balanced with the fresh crunch of the veggies. My only real feedback is that it did eat a bit dry and could’ve maybe used a little more slaw, acid or sauce to further balance the ratio of bread, but the bread’s quality was such that it’s merely a suggestion as everything tasted great , plain and simple. What further drives this home is the price point because it is an incredibly generous sandwich for $7.95 so honestly throw any critique out because it provides an incredible bang for your buck, and today more than ever, that really means something. I will be back soon and am excited to work my way through the rest of the menu!

This is hands down my favorite sandwich in Chicago. I used to live near Coco but now I will still drive 20 minutes to pick some up because it’s amazing. I normally get the tofu ban mi and tofu spring rolls. Most of the time, even get two ban mi sandwiches : one for now, one for later. Their noodles are also great and the people who own it are always incredibly sweet and nice. I drop a tip even if I’m just carrying out because they’re so nice and the food is amazing. I love this place!

Very friendly staff. Quick service and food prep. I recommend the #2 Saigon banh mi over the #1 special. #2 banh mi is more traditional. The bread itself doesn't stay as crispy as other places. Definitely need to eat it immediately. Overall, good banh mi

It’s my favorite place for banh mi in the area. My only issue was they wouldn’t give me a fork when I asked for one. Lady working there said I didn’t need it for a spring roll 😑 which is fair but I didn’t want to get my hands dirty. Otherwise good food.

The shrimp banh mi sandwich was amazing first time here and certainly not my last. No skimp on the shrimp sandwich filled from end to end nice medium size.

Super friendly folks, and if you need a sandwich and you're closeby it's fine, but there is better banh mi to be had in Chicago.

So besides the usual chicken noodle soup? When we're not feeling well, we will consume Vietnamese Pho from @cocoravenswood Their Pho consists of: slow simmered beef broth, sprouts, basil green onion, and jalapenos We like to get their Sliced Rare Beef (Pho Tai) or Well Done Brisket (Pho Chin). Then we will add a Grilled Pork or Grilled Beef Banh Mi Sandwich. Since the pandemic, they have shifted to carry out our delivery only. We have been coming here for a while, and the delicious food with reasonable prices keep us coming back.

Crab Rangoon: a bit thick on the wrap Fried rice: just bland and dry. Would not recommend. Beef combo pho: pretty boring flavor. Lots of soup and content though. Lemongrass pork bahmi: ok flavor. Bread was crspy

I came in here during a week day for lunch hoping to sit down and have a bowl of pho and have a Banh Mi and Viet coffee for take-out afterwards, but I quickly realized after I walked over here from my place that they are only doing take out and delivery orders. I assume that this all started post-COVID but I was disappointed. Onto the experience and food. The older man taking my order behind the counter was really nice. He did make a mistake however because I wanted a bowl of pho and a banh mi but when he rung me up, I paid, and then he was like "wait, you wanted two bowls of pho?". I told him that I wanted just one and a Banh Mi with coffee. He realized he made a mistake and he looked a little flustered since I had just paid. Anyways, I told him it wasn't a big deal. I waited less than 6-7 minutes and my stuff was packaged and ready to go. He also throw in an Thai Iced Tea for the mistake. I brought it home and everything was packaged nicely. I saved the other pho for the next day. My pho was pretty good. I don't normally like taking pho to-go as it is never the same, but I'd rate it an 8/10. Really wish I could have dined in. My Viet coffee and thai iced tea were good, however I wish the Viet coffee was just black with no sugar. I like that this Vietnamese place is located away from the other Little Vietnam (Argyle) restaurants because it allows for more options in my area. I'll be back!

We went to CoCo to pickup some banh mi sandwiches and a veggie spring roll. I ordered over the phone because it seemed like the easiest option and it is close to my home. They said it would take 15 mins so I walked over to pick it up. The place is sort of dumpy looking from the outside and in. Only pickup allowed, no tables to eat at. Our food was pretty good. The spring roll was tasty served with a peanut sauce. I had a tofu banh mi and my partner had a pork one. We both enjoyed our food. The prices were reasonable and we will return.

3.5 stars. I order from here on Uber Eats whenever I'm craving a banh mi since my go to spot isn't on there. I usually get the Saigon classic (Pork belly and pork roll, mayo, pate, jalapeño peppers, cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrot & radish). The pork belly is soo yummy! The meat, however is a bit on the thinner side and there is a lot more bread compared to meat. There is also not much pate, which is one of the best parts in my opinion. If they could just add more pate and take out a little more bread and add thicker meat this sandwich would be a dream. I really like the shrimp spring rolls here. The peanut sauce is delicious and perfectly balanced! The shrimp is pretty thin though. Flavor wise, I love everything about these, so refreshing! Their viet iced coffee is good too. If you've never tried Vietnamese iced coffee, you must! It's stronger, richer and has an intense flavor but it's creamy and slightly sweet from the condensed milk. I'll have to try their pho sometime, I usually never order pho takeout unless I'm sick because I am a sole believer that pho needs to be enjoyed in the restaurant, unless it's homemade of course.

My friends and I picked up food from this place about a month ago, and it was SO good! None of us ever ordered food before this experience, but I would definitely order from here again. We didn't eat in here, and my friend was the one who picked up our mobile online order, so my review is strictly about the food. Before I tried the food, I had gotten a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was so creamy and so amazing. I never had Vietnamese coffee before but WOW. I'd come back just for this! For my food, I ordered the beef noodles, and they were full of flavor as well. They were a great texture and they weren't so greasy or wet like some places sometimes are. The beef was perfectly cooked and not tough. Two of my friends ordered the Pho with raw meat, and my one friend was so freaked out because she didn't realize it was literally raw until she put it in the broth. However, both of my friends who ended up ordering Pho ended up enjoying it. I also ordered egg rolls and they were a bit on the drier side, but still full of flavor. It may have also been because they were a little cold by the time I ate them. Overall, I'd gladly order food here again if I'm around the area!

A go- to-place for Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches)! ***Serves pho and other Vietnamese dishes but at the time of writing this review, I decided not to try such items since they are less desirable as take out. Food: Banh mi dac biet (combination special) - 4.5/5 - very good version on the classic Vietnamese banh mi Banh mi Saigon - 5/5 - best of the Banh mi here; what makes this stand out is the pork belly Banh mi thit heo nuong (grilled pork) - 5/5 - sweet marinaded grilled pork Banh mi thit bo nuong (grilled beef) - 5/5 - sweet marinaded grilled beef Banh mi thit ga (shredded chicken) - 3.75/5 - curry-flavored shredded bits of chicken Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai iced tea were OK - not outstanding to note. Ambience: Still doing only take out as of 10/2021 Service: Fast and friendly

Best bahn mi in the city and I have been searching for a while and I live right by argyle! I ordered sandwich 1 - the special - was amazing and so fresh. Also very nice lady working the register.

I had a favorite go-to Banh Mi place but that place unfortunately closed down years ago. Since then, CôCô has taken care of my banh mi cravings and every visit is pleasant so far! Post-pandemic (arguably) it seems to be only take-out & delivery. No issues for me because I tend to take my banh mi to-go either way. Each visit seems to be the same lady who takes my order. She is friendly and all so I have no complaints there. As far as the menu goes, everything is listed clearly with pricing. With rising food costs, banh mi has gone up but pricing is still very reasonable and budget friendly for the most part. What you get is a big filling sandwich so IMO I believe it's a good price. I usually rotate banh mi flavors but I always rotate between the Saigon classic, Coco special or the grilled pork. The sandwich always hits the spot. Fresh veggies with a nice crunch from the bread together with the meats yum! Sometimes I'll throw in an order of spring rolls, egg rolls or fried shrimp and for the most part they're good too! If you love Banh Mi, please make your way here!

I ordered through GrubHub recently-I ordered Cha Gio or Vietnamese Egg Rolls... which I love-however; I was highly disappointed....while they added lettuce for wrapping... THEY DID NOT INCLUDE the Nuoc Cham-Dipping Sauce OR the Pickled Vegetables and Herbs like Cilantro and Pepper to include in the wrapping. I was really surprised that an supposedly "authentic" Vietnamese Restaurant would not include this in the order. The whole experience went into the garbage...I ordered so I would NOT HAVE TO do any work...such as prepping and cooking. The Whole Experience via Grubhub cost $35.00 for delivery for 9 egg rolls...waste of $$ and a waste of food-most of it went into the garbage.

I don't know what's wrong with me. This place is literally a block from where I have live (I was here before it opened); it's pretty cheap, and it's quite good. I'm not sure I had ever had a bahn-mi before having on there... and honestly, may not have had one since. That's something I need to change. I had the shredded chicken sandwich. It was really good, and I was worried I wasn't going to like it at all. I love that the jalapeños add some spice to it. The veggies were fresh and crisp and it didn't leave me with that feeling of eating too much or eating something too heavy as many places do. The fried rice is good too, though I didn't like it as much as at other places. Pho isn't my bag, but next time I may have to get some pork noodles and a couple sandwiches to split, so we can trie one of each. I'm lucky to have this place just a block away, so I need to take advantage of it!

TL:DR - A solid banh mi spot. Small interior. No seating inside during covid. Welcoming and nice staff. Came in on a Friday afternoon, was the only person in the spot. Got a grilled pork banh mi lunch combo to go. The lunch combo comes with two small egg rolls and a can of soda or water. The banh mi itself was definitely good, but I've def had better elsewhere that had more savory pork, more pork, and better pickled veggies. If I was in the area and craved banh mi, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by, but if I wasn't in the area I wouldn't make a trip specifically here to get it. The egg rolls are pretty standard, but the lunch combo price of $2 for a can of soda and two egg rolls is more than fair and something I'd probably get each time. The store itself is really small. Seems to be just enough space for about 4 people to stand inside an appropriate pandemic distance. There is no seating inside. Prices are relatively fair and a tad lower than other nearby establishments by a $1 or so. Apart from all of these, while I was waiting, I had a fun conversation with the lady working the register (owner?). She was very engaging and friendly. Made me feel welcomed and she herself made the experience a fun one. All in all, a super solid banh mi spot. Will be back.

Fairly close to Argyle where I typically shop for my favorite banh-mi sandwich. I took a try and ordered a selection. I would rate these sandwiches to Bale and close if they added a bit more Pate. Other than that, these sandwiches would compete but they fell short. The cost for is reasonable which is around $7. I would give them a try again.

Now that it's getting cold out, doesn't pho and a bahn mi sandwich sound great?! We picked up takeout from here recently and were blown away. The pho broth is so so so good and tasty. Really helps to warm you up on these increasingly colder days. Everything comes packaged separately so nothing is soggy when you eat it!! We also had the spring rolls with shrimp and were very pleased. Can't wait to go back and try the sandwiches, they are so reasonably priced!! Support this small business during this hard tiMe! We want them to be around when everything starts to open again!

The pho and banh mi here are as good as any you'll find in Argyle (or Chicago)! I've come here numerous times and the food is consistently delicious while the staff is consistently super friendly. It's a very casual spot on the outskirts of Argyle but that makes it easy to find parking right in front of the restaurant. My go-tos here: - Coco Special Banh Mi (ham, pate, and pork roll) - fresh bread, yummy meats, what more can you ask for out of a banh mi? - Vietnamese Traditional Pho (with well-done brisket) - flavorful broth that's not too heavy plus a generous portion size with plenty of meat and noodles! The seasoned tofu, egg and veggie fried rice is solid as well. The menu isn't massive but there's still a good amount of variety to choose from so you shouldn't have any trouble finding something you'll like. :)

Stopped in today for a tofu bahn mi and spring rolls. The bahn mi was delicious and very flavorful and satisfying. The spring rolls are good too - fresh with a nice crunch. This is a fast, fresh and inexpensive lunch option. I'll be back!

Great neighborhood place! Love the (lemongrass pork and tofu) banh mi, tofu spring rolls, and tofu fried rice

Pretty tasty banh mi - the pâté in particular really makes it! This place is a great place to grab a quit and affordable bite. The baguette has a great chew and crispiness to it. The veggies are tasty but a bit understated (not super pickled?), and the pâté is sweet and creamy. The main meat didn't stand out so much to me (I got grilled pork) - it was good enough but not a ton of flavor. I was hoping for something a little saucier or smokier. We had quite a bit of communication issues so it's possible I got something else. As a part of the communication issues, we also ended up with an egg banh mi. The egg was cooked so deliciously! Perfectly scrambled and slightly sweet. Not sure there was pâté on this one, though, so it felt a little dry. Overall if you're craving banh mi, it's a good enough place to go. Not sure I would travel out of my way to go here, though.

Went for the bánh mi sandwiches. Did not try anything else. It was not bad. It just was the thin meat which made the sandwich taste dry Again it was not bad but I have had better. And Viet Cajun on the sea wall makes a darn good juicy bánh mi. I am sure I will give it another try and try something else. Service and staff was great. Restaurant was clean and I will definitely be back. I am only reviewing on the sandwich. They had other patrons coming in and out, so I am sure the food is good.

This location appears to be mostly for pick up. Pho was great and when you order "rare", you certainly get your beef slices rare! I did like that but I made sure to warm my broth up a bit. Overall very good pho. If you're like me and love hoisen sauce, be sure to ask for additional packets unless you have a bottle stashed at home like me. The spring roll came as a generous size and is definitely worth getting.

I ordered delivery so the review is solely on the food. I always crave a good bowl of pho and this pho really hit the spot. The broth was so flavorful and delicious and the noodles weren't over or undercooked. I also got a banh mi sandwich which was amazing! The bread was the perfectly crispy and chewy and the ratio of meat/filling to bread was great.

CoCo is the type of place I go to whenever I want a tofu bahn mi for takeout and I only started coming here in 2020, so I will rate this place just based off of that. I really enjoy their tofu bahn mi's, they are fairly priced and delicious. They are ready pretty quick and this place gives you a big portion. Their bahn mi has a great variety of ingredients, I often ask for extra sauce because I like it that way, but everything in it feels balanced. This place is not dine-in from what I've seen, and cash-only for orders under $15. You will usually find parking in front for pick-up.

I love ordering from here. I tend to get the banh mi sandwiches and egg rolls. I ordered through Grubhub. I'm always happy with their food and services. Their banh mi is really flavorful and they pack it with the ingredients. The bread is always soft on the inside and has a nice bite on the outside. The egg rolls are nice, crispy and filled. I will order again :).

COVID19 update... quick turn around, efficient employee at the door with mask, paid online, delicious seasoned tofu Bahn Mi.

I ordered the spicy Korean brisket soup with rice noodle for a quick lunch. Sounds weird, but the broth was so good I could drink it straight up. It arrived piping hot and super clean. The beef was tender too. Prices are standard and the staff was very friendly, especially the woman working at the counter. I'm definitely coming back to try the pho and bahn mi!

Just had this for the first time and absolutely loved it- best banh mi I've had in Chicago! We ordered around 7pm so I was a bit worried it wouldn't be as fresh since it was close to closing (8pm) but everything was so fresh and delicious! The bread was soft, veggies fresh and crisp! We also had the veggie spring rolls and crab rangoon - all delicious! I had the tofu banh mi and my bf got the beef and coco special, he preferred the beef but the special was also great! Also such a good deal for the price and it was ready within 10 minutes!

Always a favorite of ours! We have been coming to Co Co for the past few months and it is really something special. It is located a little further away from the Argyle area so if you do not want to wait at Tank or have trouble finding parking then this is a great option. One of their most delicious in my opinion would be their Shrimp Bahn Mi. I don't know what they do to their shrimp or how they make their sauce, but it is absolutely delicious. My partner and I usually end up getting our own to pair with our Pho Noodles instead of sharing because it it so good. The flavors are fresh and so are the veggies that come with the sandwich. The Pho is also super delicious. The broth is flavorful and not too sweet and you always receive a generous amount of meat and noodles. There is nothing like a hot bowl of delicious soup on a summers day or winters day. That's right, every day is a great day for Pho broth from Co Co. The restaurant is clean and basic, but you can tell that the focus is on the food. The staff are very attentive and make you fee like family. The best part about this place is that they have a DAILY lunch special add on which is only $2 and you also receive two egg rolls and a choice of beverage (specified) to accompany your sandwich, noodle, fried rice, our soup order. I will be back! Grade: A+

Came here for a Saigon Classic Banh Mi sandwich, which was good, but really loved the soup/pho and would return here for it especially on a cold day. Had the Beef stew noodle/Pho Bo Kho which was hot, spicy and delicious. It is also large enough to share. The prices are very reasonable, the owner is friendly and will explain any of the dishes on the menu to you. They have a lunch special, for only $2.00 you can add 1 special eggroll & your choice of beverage to any sandwich, fried rice, vermicelli or soup order.

Ordered multiple items for delivery. Food wasn't even mediocre, it was bad. The pork on my noodle salad wasn't grilled as advertised, tasted like it had been cooked yesterday. As did the beef fried noodles. I tried this place based on the 4.5 star rating, that rating is very inaccurate. If I was served this in the restaurant I would've sent it back.

It was my first time at CoCo. I ordered the Saigon Classic and the deluxe spring rolls. The Saigon classic had potential but I barely tasted any Pate, and the pate is one of the best parts about a Viet sandwich. They were skimpy on that. The spring rolls were decent but the price is definitely high for 2.

I eat here almost weekly. They have the best fresh spring rolls in town - and as an added bonus they usually have a few in the front cooler to grab and go. Their Bahn Mi sandwiches are fantastic and one time I accidentally ordered the chicken curry thinking it was a chicken curry bahn mi and it was just chicken curry. Totally delicious. Their Bun noodle bowls are also the best in town. I honestly have NEVER had a bad experience here in the 5 or so years of coming here. That means never a bad food or service experience. I wish they would have a sit down place to eat again, but I totally understand why they switch it to a shipping center. JUST EAT HERE!

With so many options out there, CoCo's is my go to for pho and banh mi. The pho broth is excellent and the bread is *chef's kiss*. They even do a fantastic job with delivery. Sometimes I just need to heat up the broth a bit, and then it actually travels well, as CoCo's packages everything separately.

Don't need to go all the way to argyle for perfect ban mi and pho. I love this little place, the bread is chewy and fresh, all the sandwiches are so good, and the prices are more than fair. Love coco's!

I got some food with Uber eats and I'm so glad I did!!! The Chicken Curry was so tender and juicy! Delicious. And I can't get over how long the spring rolls were! You get "two" rolls but their basically four. Beautifully wrapped with just the right amount of shrimp in each bite. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. And the peanut sauce was made perfectly! My boyfriend got the beef banh mi... Nomz! The only recommendation I have is toasting the French bread for the curry a little longer... but honestly though, wasn't a big deal, I just like my bread toastier than others. It was still good nonetheless. I'll be here again, hopefully to dine in! 5/5 for sure.

Ohhhh man. This place is good. Food is authentic. I wish they had tripe in their pho but they did not. Which is fine, the pho was still good. Highly recommend this place.

I have recently became addicted to this place and after my ordering experience today I decided it was time to leave a review. First - the Bahn Mi's I crave them continuously. I typically order the pork and beef sandwiches. I also have tried the egg rolls, spring rolls, crab rangoon and Pho. Everything is always delicious! I also need to add something about their service after my order today. Grubhub picked up the wrong order that said Uber Eats and delivered it. After calling the driver he said he would correct it, but neither the restaurant or myself could get a hold of the driver after that. The restaurant was so quick to call me back and help direct me to get a credit from Grubhub and reorder the meal so they could get me the correct one right away. They also mentioned about keeping the incorrect one and trying the Thai Iced Tea I received that I never had. With a situation that is not an error on the restaurant I was super impressed by how helpful they were in correcting it and quickly getting me the right order. I already can't wait to order again!

Update. I might have an addiction problem. I've ordered about 1x a week for months Its so good

Vietnamese virgin here when it comes to food, not nails. This place is located on Lawrence across the street from the Shell gas station. I never noticed this place before, probably because I am usually speeding to beat the red light. I discovered this place purely by accident on Yelp while looking for somebody to deliver me spring rolls because I did not want to drive anywhere. Because I knew no one was going to even think about delivering 1-2 orders of spring rolls, I decided to walk over to Co Co because they had spring rolls. Full disclosure here...while I live close to New Chinatown, when think Asian food, I don't think sandwiches. I think yummy steam Cha siu bao buns with succulent BBQ pork. Since this was my first time in a Vietnamese sandwich and pho (no idea what pho is) shop, I decided to try a sandwich in addition to the egg rolls. I got the grilled pork sandwich but saw Co Co Special. They had me at ham, pate & pork roll...the holy trinity of good swine eating. Because I was going to be in a work meeting where the lunch being served was not something I was going to want, I got a Grilled Pork Vermicelli bowl to take in the next day. First let's talk sandwiches....this is the first time I have gotten take out sandwiches that were sealed with rubber bands (cute). Both sandwiches were very fresh tasting. The mixture of veggies on each once were explosive with flavor. I didn't even put any salt on them. There were fresh sliced jalapenos on them; I took those off right away. The grilled pork was good, but the Co Co Special was very good. But to be fair, it had three kinds of pork and I love swine. The ham, pate & pork roll was a great blend of flavors. The bread was softish, even though it had been slightly toasted. Next time I will ask for them not to toast the bread as I am not a fan of toast sub bread. As large as the sandwiches are, they are amazingly light. While tasty, it felt like I had not really eaten anything...I was satisfied but didn't feel overstuffed. I can totally see this as something you would have if you want to have a light snack during the day before heading out later in the evening to a big meal. The Grilled Pork Vermicelli bowl made for an excellent lunch the next day. It came with an egg roll and a container of a sweet sauce. Due to the size, I was not sure if it was for one egg roll, so I poured it over the noodles. Not sure if it messed with the aesthetics of the dish, but I added some Tajin as well. Pretty good dish. The egg rolls were solid and I could do them again easily. They were not greasy, the wrapping was flaky and the filling was nice. Went back again with the Heiress Apparent and she got the Well-Done Brisket Noodle soup. The entree came in separate containers. Fair warning, you will need a big bowl to mix everything if you do take out. The broth, meat/noodles, veggies and onions were all in their own separate containers, ready to be mixed together. La J said it was excellent. I will take her word for it because I didn't taste it as she put in something that was red, and I imagine, very hot since she like hot food. La J's review of the pho: There was a hint of sweetness in the soup, as others have said. But, I like a bit of sweetness in my soups. This one came with two types of sauces I could pour into the soup. And those sauces were spicy. The sweetness that was already there really added flavor to the spice, so it didn't feel like I was just eating something hot and not tasting anything. Sometimes, there are soups that are too spicy, and you can't taste much. Adding the sweetness with the spicy creates flavor and allows the other flavors to come forth instead of being blocked out. Service was nice and the wait for our order wasn't long. The staff was very nice too. Not a bad experience for my first foray into the land of V food.

Sandwiches are cheap and tasty. Fast service. I ordered the tofu and beef ones. Will try the spring rolls and pho next time.

One of my absolute favorite go-to restaurants! I have ordered take out on several occasions and my meals are great EVERY time! Fresh ingredients, perfect temperature, and generous portions. Their vegetarian & pescatarian options are delicious! My favorites are the tofu noodles, shrimp bahn mi and the tofu spring rolls - SO GOOD. I can't wait to order again!

The price doesn't equal up to the amount of food. I tried the Sauteed Shrimp Bahn Mi Sandwich. Bread was fresh, sauce semi-spicy, however they should've added two more shrimps. Which would've made it six.

I am one of many CTA #81(Lawrence) frequent passengers. When I noticed this new Vietnamese joint that's actually closer to my apartment, I wanted to give it a try. You have an option to ride the Lawrence bus all the way to Broadway and dine somewhere in the Little Vietnam Uptown, or you can step out the bus early at the southwest corner of Lawrence and Ashland. Coco Vietnamese Sandwiches & Pho is a great discovery, especially when you need to accommodate someone in your party who is a vegetarian and can't eat anything at that neighboring By*on's Hot Dog. Most people would think this place caters more take-out businesses because hardly does anyone choose dine in. Indeed a place like CoCo is carryout friendly, yet we thought the dining room was tranquil and comfortable. While we were waiting for the food, the lady owner adjusted the AC and turned on the lights for us! She didn't have to do that because hubby and I were low-maintenance individuals. The rare brisket pho was great. I'm totally not a pho connoisseur, but I felt my stamina was regained upon finishing my big bowl of pho. The broth was flavorful and mildly spicy. Hubby adhered his vegetarian diet with his tofu Banh mi. Oh by the way, don't forget the Vietnamese Iced coffee! Be thankful that it's the end of September here in Chicago and the temperature is still in the 70s. Thus, you need this to keep yourself hydrated. It's time to reveal the cost for our dinner at CoCo: $21 and some change. With that being said, CoCo has our repeated businesses.

Delicious Banh Mi sandwiches-I had the chicken. Perfect flavor and amount of filling with a great crusty bread. Also tried the spring rolls and fried noodles and both were flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend!

Coco is always on point for great banh mi as well as great fried rice, bun, and pho! Their fried rice is great and more flavorful than other places we've tried. We've never had a bad meal from here and order delivery from them a lot. Unbelievably quick delivery times. Give them a try!

So fresh! So good! I love the bread they use for their Banh Mi sandwiches. My favorite is probably the egg banh mi! I have also tried their egg rolls as well as their veggie spring rolls. I LOVE the spring rolls. But I feel like my favorite "moments" here are cold winter days eating their amazing pho. Last time the owner recommended the beef stew and it was absolutely delicious. The broth is just perfect. Co co is on my family's list of go-to places we depend on for a great meal, whether we dine in or carry out!

Wonton soup - for $4, you get about six flavor-packed wontons in a light aromatic broth. Good for a light start. Chicken wings - segments rather than whole wings, but crispy and glazed in sweet and spicy sauce. Co Co continues to please me greatly.

LOVE this place! My family and I have been coming here since they opened and we have never had a bad meal. The Pho is "pho-nominal" and the bha mi sandwiches are delicious (great bread, soft and crisp in all the right places). Pho is fresh and comes with side of Thai basil, bean sprouts and lime. The noodle bowls are simple and made with fresh ingredients and come with a sweet sauce (jazz 'em up with your own Sriracha chili or plum sauces available table side). Great for pick up and go or dining in (very basic, clean interior). Get some bha mis to go for your next picnic or enjoy the pho soup on a nice, cold day. Can't go wrong.

I've walked past this place many times and haven't been in. My favorite pho closed down recently and I needed to find my new fix so I decided to give this place a try. It's pretty big on the inside and has lots of tables. You order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. I loved the egg rolls I ordered. The pho was good but didn't have as many toppings as I'm used to. It's hard to compete with my favorite place. But they were quick to get food out, so would be a good place to stop on a lunch hour.

I grew up eating banh mi and this was a real visit to my childhood. We weren't very hungry and were going to save half the sandwich, but ate it all before we could save it. The mango boba also used fresh fruit. Great service as well.
