Co Chung Vietnamese Restaurant Boat Quay- Authentic taste of Vietnam - 5 Lor Telok

We came here for lunch today. They opened at noon and started to fill up quickly, but we were still able to get a table without a reservation. Service was prompt and friendly. They have nice menus with pictures of all the dishes and explanations, but ordering and payment is via QR code, which I generally don’t care for. I can see it being a plus here given the bustle of the place. They have quite a diverse menu with a large mix of dishes. We tried some crispy spring rolls, a pho, and a bánh mì. Everything was good, though I felt the portions were a tad small relative to the cost. The spring rolls were tasty but a little bland. The sandwich we tried was the meatball one. It was tasty and flavorful but more like a paste than what we were expecting for meatballs. It was also quite juicy and a little messy to eat. The noodles were nice. It’s not the typical rice noodle that you get at most places. These were firmer and round instead of flat. Not bad. Would we come back? Yeah. There are a bunch of dishes we would like to try here. I think I still prefer our usual place but this isn’t bad and if I didn’t want to travel to Joo Chiat, I’d definitely consider coming here.

Visited on a quiet weekend afternoon. From our experience it was a place with nice decor, attentive staff, and flavorful food. Menu features the usual Vietnamese classics, prices were alright, and the music was pleasant. Not a mind-blowing experience, but a solid option for tasty Vietnamese food. Try Ms Pho at Ngee Ann City for more unique Vietnamese dishes.

Delicious Vietnamese Food. ordered and paid via qr code, and waited for quite awhile for the beef Pho. We thought the order didn't go thru, but it did. Finished every bit of food left in our bowls. The servers were very kind to let us change table twice when it rained. They also sheltered guests across the street with their umbrellas. ???

Food looks much better than they taste. It's not terrible by any means, just not as good as it looks. Service was friendly, but when it gets busy, like when I was there, they really can't handle it. I had to remind them of my lemongrass drink order 3 times before it was delivered. To be fair, I placed the order after I've already finished my meal, so it's easier to miss. Good thing they didn't get the order wrong, or billed wrongly.

Enter Co Chung, and you’ll first be greeted by its festive retro decor - with colourful lanterns hanging above and the tables converted from vintage sewing machines. The menu even comes in the form of an old-school newspaper, letting you browse the menu items in both English and Vietnamese, along with pictures. Overall, the food was all right. We especially enjoyed the Grilled Beef in Betel Leaf! The portion sizes are not very big, but you’ll also find that the dishes are, on average, quite affordable. Service was hurried, but understandable given how busy the staff were. I’d probably come back, maybe during a less busy hour, to try their many other dishes - some interesting ones like the Banh Beo and the Cheese Yoghurt were sold out by the time we were there.

4th time here. Finally!!! This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Singapore. The Pho is the most authentic and delicious I've had here to-date. The spring roll is incredibly nice as well. Banh mi is nice but the broken rice is so-so. Will return

July 2022: made a booking on Quandoo and good thing we did! Within a short 10 min, the restaurant was close to full house! The food came promptly and the dishes were all good! Will go again definitely. The chicken and seafood soup was delicious and the grilled pork dry noodles were also tasty!

Our 1st time here for Vietnamese food. We like the food and service here. What we ordered is good enough for 2 persons. The price is reasonable too. It was also our 1st time having Vietnamese dessert and it has truly exceeded our expectation. Will certainly be back to try more of their dishes. The food on the menu all look so delicious.
