Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014Owned by my first NY friend Jean Goutal, Le Colonial opened 20 years ago at the same time as Daniel. Old New York vibes and tasty Vietnamese cuisine. Get the delicious and fresh Goi Cuon to start.
Ms HeleneApril 24, 2015Shrimp summer rolls with hoisin & peanut sauce $11, grilled shrimp and scallop vermicelli salad $25, whole crispy snapper special & Chocolate sriracha peanut tart $11. Great setting & service.
Warrent SattFebruary 2, 2014Met here for lunch. Do have a nice lunch express option, at this restaurant been back a couple of times, The entrees are definitely french inspired, and small traditional french serving sizes.
Alia'a El-ShabrawyJune 14, 2016I'm not one for Vietnamese food but this place is so good it makes it hard to hate! Fillet minion was cooked to the right extent making it juicy and tender. A hidden local NY gem.
Eaters HeavenDecember 22, 2017Pretty restaurant w/a colonial feel downstairs&a sexy, loungy, clubby feel bar upstairs. Vietnamese fusion - cod: moist&light, duck: tender, a touch dry, but still good. Service was attentive&good.
Gilt CityMarch 15, 2011The quiet, low-lit second-floor lounge is the perfect choice for a romantic rendez-vous or a drink with the girls. Try the eponymous “Le Colonial,” with Tanqueray, cassis and raspberry puree.
Saurin GandhiFebruary 6, 2016Loved the lounge seating .. The wine selection was great . Loved the cod and king prawns..
Russell HirschornSeptember 8, 2012Duck Spring Rolls and Monk Fish apps, Filet Mignon w. Yams and Scallop and Shrimp over Vermicelli Veg salad. Best lychee martini and a very cute hostess.
M SJuly 7, 2014Delicious duck rolls. Perfectly cooked red snapper with a super crispy outside. *Some of my leftovers were not packaged up as requested.
AnyaApril 4, 2016Very good food! Try it, you won't regret! Definitely ask to be seated on the second floor, it's more authentic.
Kimmie OhhNovember 20, 2019This place is a little on the pricey side but the food & drinks are worth it.
Connie LuekenMarch 6, 2014We've been coming here for 20 years and it's still one of my favorite NYC restaurants!
Try the beef Bo Luc Lac. Very tender marinated perfectly seared beef over salad. Highly recommended!

Pankaj JainMarch 17, 2017Vegetarian options are limited. They won't make anything that's not on the menu. What they do have is decent but not spectacular.
Zara KhanSeptember 17, 2018Overrated! Really bad Beef pho and bad duck bao buns. Dark and dingy place I honestly don’t understand what the fuss is about. Happy hour half off drinks 5 to 8 pm
