CoCo Vietnamese Sandwiches & Phở — Chicago

CoCo Vietnamese Sandwiches & Phở on Lawrence Avenue combines a focused bánh mì selection with phở, vermicelli bowls and other Vietnamese staples. The location between Ravenswood and Uptown makes it a practical stop for a sandwich before exploring the wider Argyle-area food scene.

Why CoCo is useful to know

CoCo sits between the bakery-counter and full-restaurant models. You can order a bánh mì for takeaway, but the wider menu also supports a sit-down meal. That flexibility works well when one person wants a sandwich and someone else wants soup, noodles or rice.

The restaurant opens earlier than many lunch-focused bánh mì shops according to its current official information. This makes it an option for an early meal, although the website contains overlapping hour notices and the latest schedule should be confirmed before travelling.

What to order

Current Chicago food coverage highlights lemongrass pork, grilled beef, egg and shredded chicken sandwiches. The structure stays recognisable: a crisp roll, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, herbs and chilli around the chosen filling.

Start with lemongrass pork if you want a savoury, aromatic filling that still leaves room for the pickles and herbs. Diners wanting a lighter profile can ask about chicken, while egg offers a different breakfast-friendly direction. Confirm pâté, mayonnaise, fish sauce and allergens directly, especially for vegetarian orders.

CoCo is at 1613 West Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, IL 60640. The official number is 773-516-4760. The restaurant supports carryout and online ordering, with the last website order accepted before the physical closing time.
