New York City's Vietnamese restaurants serve cà ri gà — Vietnamese chicken curry — as a warming comfort dish. Nha Trang One and other Chinatown restaurants offer this coconut-based curry.
Nha Trang One top-pick
A long-standing Chinatown Vietnamese restaurant that serves a solid chicken curry. The chicken is tender, simmered in coconut milk with lemongrass, turmeric, and potatoes. Served with rice or a fresh baguette for dipping. A reliable Chinatown choice.
Pho Grand best-value
This Chinatown institution includes chicken curry on their extensive menu. Their version is well-prepared with the classic Vietnamese curry flavors — coconut-forward, aromatic with lemongrass, and mildly spiced. Served with a side of bread.
Hanoi House hidden-gem
Hanoi House serves a refined version of chicken curry in a warm, inviting setting. Their curry is rich with coconut milk and fragrant with spices. A great option when dining in the East Village.
