Cosmo's: Reviews & Ratings
Definitely a great place to take the family. Worth the visit just be ready to dig into your pockets.
Came here after work around midnight so only had access to the late night menu. I highly recommend the Mekong tacos! Spicy and so flavorful it surprised me, i ordered it twice! The Supreme pizza was really good as well and ordered that twice. All the drinks we got were really tasty and strong. Espresso martini (GAVE ME SO MUCH ENERGY AFTER WORK ), Lychee martini (sweet and refreshing), Old fashioned (loved the citrus aroma), and French 75 (sparkly action!). Service was great and friendly. Even the people at the bar were friendly! Very nice atmosphere with the music and moody lighting. Overall was not expecting to enjoy the whole experience as much as I did. Will definately come back for the full menu to try out! Update: Came back for the full menu. The beef pho, kimchi tater tots with pork belly, fried dumplings were all good. I wanted to try the ox tail pho but the soup wasn't ready since it takes a long time to cook. Will come back for it!
I can't believe I have never been into visit this amazing location. It's like someone rummage through everyone's '70s '80s trash and dropped off the best parts here. Lighting, chairs, and knick knacks immediately took me back to growing up way back when. And don't forget all of the amazing VHS tapes that surround the bar. More movies than your mama or grandma used to have. The staff is super nice The drinks were super fast and I would definitely come back here again and again.
I loved this place! Had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the funky decor and delicious food. Will definitely be returning when coming back to Dallas!
I absolutely loved the vibe, the decor and the food was amazing. The Wings were charred and juicy on the inside. The Pho was on another level. Would recommend to people that enjoy a low key vibe with a touch of nostalgia.
Super cool place! I had a cider, chicken pho, & the lychee martini! Vibes & atmosphere are super nice! Service was good! You may have to go to the bar if it’s busy. They aren’t understaffed. They’re trying to make some money! The pho was great! I’d love to come back if I am ever back in town!!
My best friend and I went here for a late night dinner and they did not disappoint! I was blown away by the quality of their menu. Drinks weren't bad either I will definitely be returning again.
VHS Video Bar. Espresso cocktails. Multigenerational Heritage Vietnamese cook recipes. All I can say is, eating the beef pho and watching The Heathers w/ subtitles while revelling regulars chatted in the background was a fantastic experience. The food is what hooked me, but Tran and Sarah had great service and kind auras. The reviews about "bad service" honestly make me like this place even more - if you can't cope with the fact that this place is popping off the chain on the weekends, and you don't appreciate the unique atmosphere or the food? Good riddance xD I would wait 25mins on a slow night for this pho, but it comes out in under 5.
