This is very delicious food. The pepper beef is tender and fully saturated the Vermicelli noodles. I thoroughly enjoyed this establishment. Albeit it's a little far from me in Richmond worth the trip. There's free underground parking read more

Great Vietnamese place in Richmond that is a bit more tucked away. The broth for their pho was flavourful but not heavy. The price point is on the higher side for Richmond but the place is clean, service is friendly, and free parking is available. Great spot for some unique Vietnamese dishes read more

Came here with my partner, fresh off a flight. I had been wanting to try this place for a long time! The restaurant is pretty big, and the ambiance was relaxing and modern. Service was friendly and pretty quick. We ordered the fish sauce chicken wings to start, which were so flavourful. The skin was perfectly crisp, and the chicken inside was soft. I ordered the beef rib pho, which also came with beef balls and slices of beef. The broth was tasty and clear, and the sliced beef was tender. However, I was having a very hard time getting meat off the beef rib (it could just be a me problem), that I think I started to look very silly trying to rip it off with my teeth. Nonetheless, still delicious albeit a bit tough. read more

Decided to go to CoM Vietnamese because my friends and I wanted a nicer pho/Vietnamese food place that was not a quick in and out (e.g., Thai Son, Lotus, etc.). There's free parking for 2 hours in the back parking lot. We went on a Sunday night and there were only a few tables besides us. Restaurant was spacious and overall quiet and servers allowed us to sit for quite a long time (provided that we did order a lot of food haha!). We each ordered one of their noodles and shared their chicken wings. Their chicken wings are actually really really good. I would compare it (almost) to Phnom Penh's wings - the perfect balance of crispy and juicy meat! We actually ordered 2 rounds of this (one each of the chili fish sauce and butter garlic) because it was so good! For noodles, I decided to get the Hu Tieu as it isn't commonly available at other Pho restaurants. I think it was just okay - portions are quite large but you are paying over $20 for a bowl. Found it slightly bland and the sliced pork belly wasn't all that tender. It's a pricy restaurant for what you get but the atmosphere is much more relaxing and laid-back than other conventional pho restaurants. I think they market to a higher-end audience but the quality of the noodles are lacking in my opinion. I would definitely come back for their chicken wings though! read more

Tried their bo luc lac and fried chicken wings with nuoc mam flavouring. I also sipped a little bit of my partner's short rib pho. It was pretty good here, but I can't say it's worth the up charge. This is one of the most expensive Vietnamese restaurants I've been to, and it's definitely not in my top three. The fried chicken wings were a little too salty, but really good. Very crispy and juicy. My bo luc lac was good as well. The cherry tomatoes were a nice addition, the onions weren't too raw, and the meat was tender and yummy. There wasn't enough sauce though as there was a lot of rice and it was very plain because they don't give nuoc mam. They gave some kind of salt nuoc mam dip instead, which I didn't like too much. The pho soup was pretty good -- rich with some depth. A little too salty. Service was very slow despite the restaurant being pretty empty. The servers were busy doing things around the restaurant and it felt hard to catch their attention. The restaurant itself feels very modern. It's very clean inside. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant has lush interior, high ceiling throughout. Space is nice decorated. Parking is in an adjacent building. We walked in on a Saturday evening and we're seated right away. Staff was friendly and attentive. *Chicken Wings (caramelized chili fish sauce): so crunchy, taste of fish sauce is very distinct. I could have this as for main dish. Love it! *Bún Bò Hûe: soup was rich and delicious although portion was small. *Tô Tô Special: this dish of grilled meats (pork belly, beef & chicken) is marinated perfectly! *Crispy Yellow Croaker with Mango Salad: this new item on the menu is worth trying. Fish is fried so crispy to the bones. My only comment is that sauce was poured on the plate and made this dish a bit too salty to eat. I'd prefer it served on the side. Mango Salad was a perfect compliment to the fried fish. Will definitely come back. Dishes are done more sophisticated. There's more Vietnamese dishes other than spring rolls and pho noodle soup! read more

We came to CoM Vietnamese for lunch on a Monday morning at around 11:30am and the restaurant wasn't busy. The crowds started to roll in at around 1:30pm. The restaurant was nice, clean and modern. Seating is comfortable. We mainly ordered pho and the noodles were very delicious. -Phở Bò - 4 stars - a little salty but very good. -Bún Bò Huế - 5 stars - delicious, spicy kick and tasty. Best pho noodle I've had in my life. -Thai Style Vermicelli Noodle Soup - 5 stars - delicious. Love the spicy kick. I tried Bun Bo Hue at The Lunch Lady and the version at CoM Vietnamese tasted 100% better. The soup broth was very flavorful with a spicy kick. I would reorder this again. Pricing is a bit on the high side compared to other places and portions are a bit smaller. I would come back to try the crepe and i would order the noodles again. Overall, 4.3 stars.

Please COM again... Okay, read it as is in straight English somehow doesn't sound right. I believe it's pronounced "gom"? (My Viet friends, stop your caravan, take a break at the nail or hair salon or mushroom farms and correct me if I am wrong, thank you). I have been here when it was first opened and I wasn't impressed at all. It was jacked up and hyped up by a few foodies who thinks a turkey is a peacock during the Autumn season. Anyways, I heard it had gotten better over the years so back to give it a 2nd shot (). Here were the food I ordered; 1. Crab spring rolls. It was okay, nothing to wow about. (Maybe because it became a generic item on the Vietnamese menu, I had better ones). 2. Papaya salad. This one was pretty good; decent amount of each ingredients and the sauce was well balanced. 3. Shaken beef (Bo Luc Lac). The cubed beef were nicely pan fried, tender and caramelized but abit too much oil (as you can see on the pic without me touching it and not enough juicy sauce.. gotta shake that meat more!) 4. Pho Bo. The soup was hot and tasty, the noodle was cooked right but the beef was a bit tough and on the thicker side (beef needs to be sliced thinner, could get choked). 5. Stone bowl pho. The broth was pretty tasty and definitely stayed hot for a long time. I kind of screwed up and dumped everything in all at once (don't always have time to foreplay with the meat) resulting in certain meats overcooked especially when I am a slow eater. But honestly, besides the stone bowl I didn't find much difference between this and a bowl of regular pho other than paying more. Overall, the restaurant was pretty clean with a good amount of spacing between tables. It's a pretty cozy little space with a casual atmosphere. There's a free parking garage for customers at the side of the building, make sure to register your parking inside the restaurant. The service was okay, pretty standard and nothing to complain about. Plus there were only 3 or 4 tables only. As for the food; the broth for both of the soup were pretty hot and tasty, but meats were a bit on the tougher side, the salad and roll was decent. With that being said, overall it has improved and better than my first visit here. I wouldn't purposely COM here but if I am in the area I would like to try some of their other dishes. read more

Took my sister (and mom) here because she's been wanting to try it for the longest time and I highly recommended it! The food was delicious as always, service was good and food arrived pretty quick. She loved the atmosphere and decor of the place. It was my first time trying to Papaya Salad and Vermicelli Bowl Special and they did not disappoint. My mom was a fan of all the dishes, especially the Pho Saigon! Would recommend anyone to come here to try this place out. :) read more

First off this place looked cute and I was super excited to eat with friends because it's our last night visiting from the states. All of that changed. This place is my 13th reason why. I don't understand how the prices are steep for very mid quality. The meat was very dense, and their fish sauce was too sweet. We reserved a table for 14 people and then we were split into four different tables. They then told us that they automatically added gratuity for have a party greater than 5!!! Are you kidding me?! Then they weren't attentive to our table. We also tried to scoot our tables a bit closer to each other and the waiter said we weren't allowed because there was a plant in the middle. Like wtf? Anyways I am going to end it here. I'm still mad. read more

Really nicely setup with extremely high ceilings and a lush interior, not like your standard Vietnamese hole in the wall. I saw that they had a sizeable vegetarian section menu, which is what brought me in. They have a pho chay (veggie pho; $18.50 plus tax), so I gave that a try. My soup came out in about 10 minutes. The soup came with tofu sheet, fried tofu skin, veggies (broccoli, green cabbage, carrot, white mushrooms), and noodles in a gentle mushroom breath. The broth was pleasant, not that rich, but not water or boring. It was amplified nicely by their homemade chili oil. Everything was very tasty without being amazing, though I did really like the tofu varieties in here. Good, friendly service. $18.50 makes this one of the priciest veggie pho in Greater Van, so I can't say it's good value for money. But at least the quality is good. Recommended if you're nearby. read more

Couldn't say no to Vietnamese food and COM didn't disappoint! Came in and got seated right away and the friendliest service. We ordered the bahn xeo (Vietnamese crepe with some bean sprouts and other veggies with fish sauce and lettuce on the side to wrap) and the bo luc lac (marinated beef cubes with rice and lettuce on the side). Both super flavorful and very generous portions. The bahn xeo was very very crispy and easy to eat. It could get a little messy with the lettuce wrap but it was so worth it!! Must try!!! On to other adventures!! Cheers! read more

This is a fancy Vietnamese restaurant. It's really hard to find parking here as the street parking is reserved for permit. There is a small parking lot available. The food was delicious but portions were too small for the price. The service was ok. They don't accept credit cards. Unless if you want to pay a fee. I would only come here for special occasions. read more

Co'M Cafe - a table of food and drinks - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

My family grew up eating at Vietnamese restaurants with communal chopstick trays, Sriracha bottles and dimly light bathrooms so while we've always passed by this spot, it has never been a spot that we were too eager to try until now as we were celebrating a special occasion. While we appreciate the ambience, the clean decor, and diverse menu, the portion sizes for the noodle soups only came in one standard sizing unlike the small medium large options at the typical pho spots so the items were a bit small for family members who had bigger appetites. I got the Bun Bo Hue as that is typically my go-to order when I try new spots. The soup was lighter, cleaner, barely had the chilli oil film, and lacked the usual meats that you would see in bun bo hue which was underwhelming and a bit disappointing. Overall, while this may be a great spot for a first date or first timer's experience to Vietnamese cuisine, the food was pricey for the typical standard Vietnamese items that we got like pho and vermicelli bowls. Although we don't regret giving this spot a try, we prefer dinners at our local Vietnamese joints instead. read more

Amazing service and super friendly staffs. Clean and cute restaurant. Free 3 hour parking beside the restaurant so very convenient but walking distance to bus stops and the skytrain station for people who don't drive. A good selection of food and with very fresh ingredients. Well cooked with skills and knowledge. Some dishes are more memorable than others. As a whole it was an amazing experience and if I was in the area I don't mind coming again but it's not that memorable or having the "wow" factor that I'd drive all the way just for it. But they do have a couple dishes that you definitely don't see very often in your regular Vietnamese restaurant so that's refreshing. read more

The restaurant looks nice and big. Very welcoming but they close off a lot of the sections, which was disappointing as the restaurant wasn't that busy. We later saw the closed off section was used for the staff to have their meals. Food price is higher than your regular Vietnamese restaurant. Nothing fancy stood out. Order a bowl of pho, spring roll and the com special. They don't provide bean sprouts with the pho or siracha/hoisin sauce. So don't expect it. They do give you pickled garlic. The com special was just rice dish. I asked for the egg to be cooked well done and it came out runny. The spring rolls was around $15 for only 6 cut up pieces. Not much service or attention provided. Never refilled our water. You can get better Vietnamese food dish elsewhere for the same price. read more

Food is not bad and service is not the best. The price is too expensive for what it is and they even charge extra for take-out containers and credit card payments. read more

I would say this place is what is expected of Vietnamese food. Friendly staff and clean environment. Better than the lunch lady for sure.

What can I say.. The Beef Pho was such a treat for my tastebuds. The broth is mixed with flavors, the noodles are firm. For the first time I tasted a Pho where the noodles weren't bland, absolutely delicious. The service is a bit slow, since there was only one waitress. However once I got to taste that Pho, I have nothing to say. NEVER a problem when you can have WONDERFUL food. read more

This is probably one of the worst dining experience of the year. We sat down, ordered and was reminded 'for future reference' that there's a minimum charge of $12.50 per person. Weird there's no mention whatsoever of such a rule anywhere on the menu, and when we tallied up our order it definitely exceeded their minimum threshold for a party of four! But more disappointing is their pho which is meh at best, and not to mention a dining companion had diarrhea right after ( ! ). I guess that explains why the place is almost a desert during Sunday lunch hour. read more

Food was very mediocre, I can even use pure MSG to elaborate on their soup base. OOOO and yes definitely OVERPRICED! The only thing worth a try was their $4.5/ piece spring roll. It was a lunch date for 2 foodies, so we ordered 6 plates among us, our server refused to give us a bigger table although we ordered this much and there was no room (there was literally only 2 tables of people in the restaurant, they had plenty of room to move us around) They kept coming back to just shuffle things around (which made the experience even worse), and kept taking our dishes away ASAP. Personally I will never return, I think they have over valued themselves, their tip % at the machine starts from 18%, if you're asking 18% tips, your service must have to be outstanding, but the service was terrible, terrible in terms of they know they could have done something but was ignorant to do so. Worse than the old Vietnamese restaurant when those people r blunt to you but they r not ignorant when you truly need something! read more

The food was impressed me that it was increased my knowledge for Vietnamese food, not only Pho, also the fried noodle with crabmeat. The server was really nice to explain how to eat. Price is little bit up but you will think it worth it. read more

Expensive. The food is very typical Vietnamese. We spent more than $200 for six bowls of noodle and couples of appetizers. Not worth it!

This place deserves a higher rating. Good food. As everyone says, get the papaya salad. The short rib pho was good too. Only bad thing was the music. Some crap gangsta rap. Got to hear the N-Word 200-300 times over dinner. read more

Last time we came to try, the restaurant closed early so we couldn't. We are back again to try after reading the positive reviews. The restaurant was very comfortable and chic. It is nice to see a Vietnamese restaurant with a modern twist. Our server was very friendly and recommended us some dishes to share. There were 4 of us and I have to say my absolute favourite was the Butter Garlic wings!! Soooo good! I can finish a whole plate by myself :) very crispy and juicy inside, a hint of sweet, hint of butter and garlic. So yummy! The crepe was nice, a bit on the messy and oily side as you wrap it with lettuce and eat with your hands mostly, with the fish sauce it was good. I found it a bit too much beansprouts inside with nothing much else. $19 The pate with bread was so-so. Nice presentation, there was a hot plate with several fries, pate, slices of meat and a sunny side egg in it. The bread was very crunchy. But we won't order it again. $19 We ordered pho as well since we wanted to try their broth. It was nice and clear, not as salty as some of the other place. About $14 Wanted to try the flan as it sounds really good with cream and light Vietnamese coffee. Was good, but not a must-have item. $6 We finished lunch for 4 people for about $80 dollars. Nice atmosphere, good for instagram pictures, good to bring friends, probably not our regular spot. read more

3.85 out of 5 for me. I would totally give it a 4, but for its steep price - it doesn't add up with the food portion. My gf and I ordered 3 dishes, all were delicious but oh my - we each paid about $26 which was pricey. The ambiance is nice, the decors are aesthetically pleasant and the service is beyond amazing for a Vietnamese restaurant. I didn't expect much, but the food turned out very flavourful especially the papaya salad. It was so tasty!!! I didn't want it to end, but it did. The restaurant is relatively new and it has open for less than 2 weeks, so I know they have room for improvements and to make changes. What I hope to see change is the price and portion. read more

Checked out this COM Vietnamese restaurant on December 15, 2019 on opening day. We ordered a pho Saigon for $14, not enough meats and no raw beef, no beef ball, no tripe or tendon and an we also ordered To To rice with grill meats and no egg for $16. Well it is mediocre Vietnamese foods and overpriced for a Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond and Vancouver. read more

CoM is a new addition to Richmond's deep Asian food landscape. Clean and modern with great ambience. Nice attention to detail down to the beautiful dinnerware. We ordered a little bit of everything to get an idea of the overall quality and taste of the menu - pork spring rolls, wings with caramelized fish sauce and garlic, green papaya salad, Bun Bo Hue, beef To To, Vietnamese crepe, and Cari Ga (curry). Overall we were pleased with the freshness, presentation and of course the taste of everything. The seasoning was well balanced and the addition of fresh herbs always makes things pop. If you have an MSG sensitivity you'll be glad to know they do not use it in any of their dishes. (I have yet to try the ubiquitous beef pho which is my standard measurement for Vietnamese restaurants but will report back soon.) One of the partners came by to introduce himself and he was clearly excited about his new venture. I am excited for him as I really think they did a great job of changing things up with the Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond. I have always said we need a "high-end" version in this city. Speaking of high end, don't expect "hole in the wall" prices. This place is clearly positioned as upscale with the focus on quality ingredients in each dish. The atmosphere is trendy and would be a good spot for an evening out with friends as they do have a cocktail and drink menu to compliment the food. Overall I am pleased to finally see an "upscale" Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond. The food is good, the service was extremely attentive and the space is comfortable and relaxing. For only being open for about 2 weeks there were no noticeable glitches. I think as they progress and get in their groove, this place will be popular. I'll be back for sure. read more

Being raised in a Vietnamese household, I don't often go out to get Vietnamese food. When this place popped up in Richmond, I had to check it out because you don't often see modern aesthetics paired with this kind of food. Servers were friendly, the ambiance was bumping, to a point where I attempted to Shazam some of the songs but the remixed songs on their playlists were too obscure for me to find. Overall, the food was well done. I had their version of the classic bún bò huê and it was decently done. I did not come in expecting authentic Vietnamese food but it was good nonetheless. This modern take on Vietnamese food is a good addition to Richmond's Asian food scene. Only docking the one star due to value for money. Prices are a little higher than your standard Vietnamese restaurant with the portions being a tad smaller. read more

Back at my favorite Vietnamnese joint in Richmond I can honestly eat their garlic butter wings everyday if I could, plus their crepe (omelette) is honestly a must try! Tried a new vermicelli dish today with their grilled chicken and grilled beef ( they ran out pork today) So light yet still so flavorful! . Also if you haven't tried their seafood spring roll-- get it asap! Filled with shrimp, imitation crab, mayo and veggies then fried to crisp perfection read more

We were in the area and decided to stop by for dinner. We were seated right away. Menus were dropped off shortly afterwards. We ordered the Pho Saigon ($14), To To Special ($19.50) and Seafood Spring Roll ($4.25). The first two items arrived in reasonable time. The pho broth was flavourful without being too greasy. The steak and beef brisket slices were good. However, I miss the beef balls, tendon and tripe found at other restaurants. There was a good amount of noodles and noodles had a good chew. The To To Special had grilled chicken, pork and beef. It was a good way to try a variety of meats. The organic egg was fried sunny side up and I like a runny yolk over rice. The kitchen forgot to make the spring roll and we asked staff where was our order. We were done eating by the time the spring roll arrived. The spring roll reminded me of Chinese deep fried wontons with mayonnaise. I could taste mainly shrimp with a bit of crab. It as unfortunately cold in the centre so it appeared the kitchen rushed deep frying the spring roll. Prices are higher than average, but the restaurant ambiance is modern and good for groups or dates. Parking is available in the condo commercial complex. read more

I'll be honest. I came here not expecting much. Given with the growing competition of newly opening restaurants left & right: I get dizzy just thinking about how many options are popping up in the lower mainland. I wasn't intentionally going here, but I was feeling hungry, and wanted to grab some food. Had to give this place a try. Ambience was great, and had a modern lounge-feel to it. Absolutely loved the simple decor, and the area was interesting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Ordered the Toto out of recommendation. I was served a plate of rice, chargrilled beef, chicken, and pork. Garnished with a fried egg. Perfectly crispy, and had a perfectly runny yolk. Seriously, I'm still wondering how they did that. I never knew how something so simple could be bumped up a level where it tastes beyond expertly crafted. The fish sauce served with the plate was also incredibly good. Finishing off the meal, I had their house-made coconut ice cream. And I don't think i've ever had a dessert have that much coconut-flavor(?) in it. Safe to say this place was mindblowing, and I was thorougly impressed. I will 100% be back. Small note. This place is priced a little higher than most Vietnamese restaurants. However, do not let this turn you off from the incredible food and service offered. read more

Yum yum. Modern Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond. Spacious. I came for dinner on Sunday night. The restaurant was half full. They have space for big group but do make reservation. There's 2 hour free parking available in the building. Tried the pho, crepe and curry. They were all delicious. Slightly on the sweet side. Food took a while to come out from kitchen. I wasn't able to finish my dinner within 2hr becoz food came one dish at a time. So it got me worry about the parking. There's only 2 choices for white wine and they run out of one. Service is ok.

One of Richmond's more aesthetic Vietnamese restaurants. While a bit on the pricier side, the food is decent and the service is straightforward. CoM is a spacious, contemporary-looking, and well-decorated restaurant right on the corner of Alderbridge Way and Lansdowne Rd in Richmond. Since it was my first time visiting this establishment, I opted for street parking which was about $4.00/1.5 hrs. Little did I know (cause I'm an idiot), there's actually 3 hour free parking in the parkade of the same building so don't make the same mistake that I did - don't pay for parking, there's no need! Anyway, my party of two was immediately seated upon arrival and were brought drinks and cutlery without delay. The menus were a simple double-sided piece of paper, presenting mostly typical, but well-known Vietnamese dishes as well as a few in-house specialties. Being Vietnamese myself, I opted to go for classic menu items to see how CoM would fare on my first visit. Also, since the restaurant is named after "com" which is also the Vietnamese word for "rice", I decided to order a rice entree. Here are the items that I ordered: 1) Cha Gio (Pork Spring Roll) - $8.75 for six pieces (three rolls cut in half), very nice fish sauce for dipping, small portions 2) Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) - $15.25, decent portion and excellent ratio of meat to noodles, soup is decent, but nothing special, a little on the sweet side and a bit too much MSG 3) To To Special (essentially a big chicken, beef, and pork rice plate with a fried egg on top, served with some cut up cucumber and pickled vegetables) - $19.75, filling, tasty, overall flavour palette is on the sweet side if you add too much of the fish sauce, I also like how the meat is served already cut into bite sized pieces One interesting thing that I found was the presence of a coconut element in the spring rolls. As soon as I bit into a piece of the spring roll, which was hot and crispy, my tongue was unexpectedly greeted by what I believe to be the rice paper, but which had been given a bath in either coconut milk or coconut water prior to being set in the deep fryer. This is a very unique Southern Vietnamese cooking technique that not very many other Vietnamese restaurants employ - at least, none that I have been to anyway. Another thing that I really liked about this meal was the portion sizes. Except for the order of spring rolls which had only three small spring rolls per order, I found the rice dish to be quite filling. As a guy who is 5'9", 190lbs, athletic build, I left the restaurant feeling quite full after finishing my To To Special. The ratio of meat to rice was great, and the ratio of meat to noodles in the Bun Bo Hue was also very nice. Now, on to the things I didn't like to much: I found the soup of the Bun Bo Hue to have MSG - some people won't mind this, of course, and that's not a huge issue and certainly not the biggest of my gripes with CoM. My biggest no-no with CoM is the final bill that you'll have at the end of your meal. For myself and one other person to have lunch, the total bill came out to over $53.00 after tips. To me, that's a bit much even though the quality was good, and I think that the dishes I ordered didn't truly live up to the price tag that was on them. (Also... $20.00 for an order of Banh Xeo??? Thank god I didn't order that, that surely would not have been worth it). Yes, the food was good, but if you're looking for a decent Vietnamese meal that won't break the bank, and you don't really care about the atmosphere, then maybe CoM won't be the right place to eat all for you if you're not willing to pay a little extra. That being said, if you're not concerned with finances, you like to enjoy the dining atmosphere overall, and want some very good Vietnamese food, CoM is definitely a good choice to go with, and is probably one of the most pleasant Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond to be in. The arrangement of plants, flowers, and trees as well as the furniture really made me feel welcome and comfortable as I had my meal. I'll probably come back again in a month or so to try out their other menu items! read more

Food is good...nothing super special but pricing is a bit high. I wish they have more options to their noodle menu. Service is good. Spacious area with plenty of seating. There's free parking in the building where the restaurant is located. Entrance to the parkade is just slightly past their main entrance. I ordered their PHO SAIGON noodles...good. Their noodles are good. CHICKEN WINGS (butter garlic) good...I found it slightly salty but they were ok. read more

CoM Vietnamese has been on our "must go" list for a while now and today seemed right to "CoM" and give it a try (haha I'll show my self out....) Arriving at the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised to see free parking was offered around back, which is quite hard to find in the area! We were promptly greeted as we walked in and our server was not far behind to get us started with any drinks. We were quite hungry so my girlfriend ordered the Hù Tiêu Khô, I got the Bún Bò Huê and we shared a side of Chà Giò. I also got an Iced coffee made with condensed milk but they had the option to put coconut milk instead. Food came super fast and the first thing you notice is the presentation was great! The look as well as the taste was also very good. The soup was nice and hot and was packed full of flavour and the right amount of spice. The spring rolls were cooked to perfection with lots of filling and they were very crispy even after the last roll was watts . The iced coffee was also very good, not too sweet and not too bitter so it complimented everything! Overall we were very pleased with the service as well as the food and quality CoM has to offer. The server was very nice and even made sure we had a pleasant dining experience since it was our first time there. We will definitely be back to try the other wonderful options CoM has to offer on read more

This is the Anh and Chi for Richmond. If you feel like ordering one bowl for pho for under $10, then this may not feel like a place where you get value for money. When we opened the doors we were greeted right away. The decor was tasteful. High tops, round tables and a light wooden bar made us think of coming back if the food tasted good with both family and friends. And we will, because: 1) The Owner recommended sweet and crunch papaya salad with prawns, pork, peanuts and I think tamarind (tangy but not too acidic like other places). This might be my go-to place for any future craving for papaya salad. 2) He also recommended Chili fish sauce chicken wings that reminded us of Phnom Penh with its own personality. I wouldn't say they taste better, or spark as much nostalgic joy, but that's probably because it doesn't have the water-downing MSG-after-effect. Definitely would order this again. 3) We also ordered the Bún bò Hue which was a decent size, not too spicy (I added the extra Chili oil they gave us after we ordered with every bite I stole from my partner). Next time we come, I'd try the Pho Ga that the owner recommended as well, that comes with free range chicken. 4) On the menu, the seafood spring roll with crab caught my eye. It's pricey at $4.25 but worth trying at least once! It's 1-2 bites of no-regret. In general, we don't mind paying extra $ for quick. and friendly service, art-like interior design (brought to you by the same design studio that did the decor for Savio Volpe, The Botanist, Kissa Tanto and Bao Bei), as well as thoughtful No-MSG food. One thing to improve: the music was a bit loud but 1-2 songs got our heads bopping. read more

We came here about an hour before closing and was half expecting them to turn us away but fortunately they didn't. Additionally, I didn't sense any annoyance from the staff because it can be annoying when you're getting ready to close and customers start walking in. Everyone was super nice and patient and I feel like we received the full service despite arriving so close to closing. The have a vegetarian page in there menu and I ordered the vegetarian pho while my mom got the papaya salad. The vegetarian pho came steaming hot and the broth was very fresh and clear with lots of veggies and noodles. The papaya salad was huge and yummy as well. I would get the salad again the next time I go. The shredded potato strands were super crunchy and paired amazingly with the sauce and shrimp. The restaurant itself is very aesthetically pleasing as well. They have high ceilings, chill jams and an outdoor seating area (would be so nice in the summer). The staff all looked like they were in their mid 20s so lots of young and fresh vibes. A more hip spin on Vietnamese cuisine. More on the pricier side for viet food but I think it is worth for the environment and service. Will be coming back! read more
