"Food with ideals. Everything they have here is of the absolute highest quality. They look to find food that does not compromise in ethics or flavor, in turn alienating as few as possible. They fight daily to have the most delicious food you can make with the best ingredients." - Visualized
"If you have a sick friend, there is no better gift you could give them than the phở gà from Kitchen Cô Út in Chinatown. It’s packed with tender, dark meat chicken, and has a depth of flavor in the broth that’s hard to find elsewhere. While you're there making your friends' day, it only makes sense to sit down and order a bowl for yourself, too. The large space on Chrystie Street works for a quick solo lunch with a vietnamese iced coffee, and the lighting is nice and low enough for a casual dinner. We also really like the bún bò huế, a somewhat harder-to-find noodle soup that Kitchen Cô Út does exceptionally well. photo credit: David A. Lee photo credit: David A. Lee photo credit: David A. Lee Food Rundown Phở Gà Anyone who has ever hated on a chicken broth-based soup needs to come here and order the phở gà. That should take care of that. Bún Bò Huế This pork and beef-based noodle soup is a lot harder to find in Chinatown than phở. Kitchen Cô Út’s version is great. It’s funky from the shrimp paste, and full of lots of meat, and bouncy wheat noodles." - Willa Moore
"At this Vietnamese spot on the LES, both a beef and chicken phở are available. We prefer the latter, which comes with broth that tastes like it's been cooking for at least two days straight. You’ll get a pleasant sourness in the soup, and it’s filled with plenty of herbs, onions, and chubby boneless pieces of chicken. On your way out, grab some pre-packaged items like mung bean rice balls and pandan coconut jelly." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano
"This offshoot of a banh mi shop on Elizabeth Street operated by Cô Út Trang has an ambitious Vietnamese menu, and one of its best dishes is pho ga in the northern style, a plainish but delicious chicken version of pho that’s becoming more popular partly due to the high cost of beef. Special attention has been paid to the noodles, and a beef version is available, too." - Robert Sietsema
"Kitchen Co Ut is a Vietnamese restaurant offering dishes like hu tieu nam vang and broken rice plates with grilled pork chops." - Eater Staff
