"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
