"Best pho in Silver Lake, full stop. The broth has actual depth — not the watered-down version you get at chains. The 12 seats fill fast at lunch so I usually call ahead for takeout. Banh mi at lunch is also excellent."

A 12-seat spot on Sunset.
Family-run since the start.
Cô Linh's is a Vietnamese restaurant on Sunset in Silver Lake. The kitchen runs on three cooks and her nephew on the floor. There are 12 seats. On a busy Friday night, you might wait outside — the food is worth it.
We don't take reservations because there's no point with 12 seats. We run lean, we run fast. Walk in, sit down, eat well.

"Came on a Saturday for the banh xeo (only weekends!) and it was perfect — the crepe was crispy, herbs were fresh, sauce balanced. Linh runs the front, her son cooks. Tiny spot, big food."

"I've been going here since 2008. The com tam is exactly how my grandmother made it. Cô Linh remembers my order. Don't expect Yelp-table-service vibes — it's family-run, walk-in, paper menu, cash or card, and it's perfect."

"We order direct from them every Tuesday — they call when it's ready, no DoorDash markup. The pho ga (chicken) and the goi cuon are the move. Lunch banh mi is probably the best $9 I've spent this year."
