What Our Expert Scouts Say
November 13, 2012
When seeking pho, the rich noodle soup of Vietnam, a person in Chinatown has many choices, but mine is Bo Ky. There are so many things you can have in the soup, from fishballs to beef tendons, but the most important one is hot chile oil. Don't forget that!

Tips for Bo Ky
March 19, 2004
This Chinatown favorite offers inspiring Vietnamese soups at remarkably low prices..
The Scene
Bo Ky is a Vietnamese no-frills noodle shop with some 30 different soups. Don't expect much ambiance--despite a recent expansion, you may be asked to sit with strangers, and you'll be served tea in styrofoam cups.
The Food
Outstanding soup choices include the chicken curry, which mixes egg noodles with eggplant, potatoes, and fresh lemon, all in a spicy coconut curry broth. Or belly up to the beef belly soup, made with wide chow fun noodles and a thick, beefy broth. Lighter broth soups are available with noodles and seafood, fish, duck, pork, or meat balls in almost any combination you can imagine. Although the menu lists barbecued duck and chicken dishes, you're better off sticking to the soups.
