Com Tam Ninh Kieu - Bun Bo Hue Hue Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place is incredibly easy to miss unless you're intentionally looking for it. I've gone past it so many times without a clue this establishment was even there. I loved the ambiance of the place, it was so cozy, warm and relaxing. The music they were playing matched perfectly with the vibe and aesthetics of the place, it was soft and romantic in a way. There are plenty of tables available for groups or solo dates. This is a perfect place to sit down and journal or get some work done. I literally only waited 10 minutes from start to finish to get my takeout, I sat down on one of the available tables and immediately started reading my Bible app, truly relaxing. Half of the tablets were occupied but everyone appeared to be relaxed and just enjoying their meals so the noise level was low. If you're waiting for takeout they give you a ticket and then bring your takeout to the table you're at. If you ordered in advance for a pick up you just walk to the counter and they hand over your food. The staff were friendly and graceful. While I was ordering my food at the counter, I was able to see the staff handling some of the food. They were plating, and I was pleasantly surprised with the fact that all of them were wearing gloves even while they were taking the prepared food to the tables. You get 5% off your bill if you pay with cash. There are no atms inside. Now let's talk about the actual food, the star of the show. I ordered the claypot braised pork belly and I was notttt disappointed! This meal was such a unique experience. I am used to eating very flavorful and well seasoned dishes overall so I've tasted plenty of dishes that had more flavor than this. However, I have never enjoyed a dish that was so intentional with all of its textures and tastes. The rice was soft and light, and the vegetables had the perfect amount of crunch and spice, while the pork had a mild sweetness to it. The egg was a perfect add on to put it all together. This is the kind of plate that you have to truly eat everything it's served with to fully enjoy all of the different textures and flavors that it brings. If any of the spices or flavors would've been overwhelming, it would take away from the other flavors every item on the plate has to offer. I put a little of everything with each bite, yummm. The only flaw with the dish unfortunately is that the larger portions of the pork were chewy and a bit dry, which based on other reviews seems to be a thing. The smaller pieces were very tender and delicious. I will definitely order again from here. I'm excited to try their homemade soda, coffees and their summer/spring roles Happy yelping and enjoy read more

I've never had pho before, and maybe I should have tried it at a sit-down restaurant first. But since I was in proximity to have this delivered, I decided to give it a try. I ordered via Uber Eats: the beef pho with a fried egg, spicy beef noodle soup, and Vietnamese iced coffee. Unfortunately, they didn't have the spicy beef noodle soup. Instead of calling me (as other restaurants have done, since my number is on the order) to ask what I would like instead, they simply sent two orders of beef pho. The beef pho was terrible. I'm not sure why most if not all of the noodles were cut into small pieces instead of being whole. There was barely any meat, and it lacked flavor. It felt like they were trying to compensate by adding a large amount of onions and bean sprouts, but that didn't help. Speaking of missing items, I didn't receive my fried egg either. The coffee was also disappointing. It was listed as having condensed milk, but it wasn't sweet at all, and the color was much darker than expected. I'm genuinely surprised by the ratings here because this experience was awful. It felt like my order was rushed out without any care or attention. read more

Note- Rating is for the area. If this were, let's say, the East Village or closer to Chinatown, I'd drop it down a star. I was at this Vietnamese restaurant with three others a while back. The inside is casual, and the service was friendly. I thought about getting one of their drinks, but unfortunately, they couldn't make it that day. For food, we split a bunch of small plates, and people ordered their main dishes separately afterwards. Our first appetizer was the Dậu Hủ Ky/Tau Hu Ky/Crispy Shrimp Dumpling for $11.95, which consisted of seasoned and grounded shrimp, crisp tofu skin wrap, and house pickles. The outside tofu skin was very crispy and slightly oily, creating an interesting textural contrast with the soft, bouncy center where the shrimp was. There was also some nuoc cham on the side, with a bit of sweetness. The pickles consisted of the typical carrots. This was pretty good. The other dish we split was the better $11.95 Banh Mi Brisket and Bone Marrow, with pulled beef, spicy bone marrow, and an egg upon request. This was on the slightly sweet end with the tender brisket braised in five-spice, presumably. Otherwise, it fell apart slightly from the juiciness of the meat, combined with the pickled vegetables. To add more heat, there was also some fresh-sliced jalapeño. While obviously not as good as some other bahn mi specialty shops or some of the better Vietnamese spots opening up more recently, this was still good. My main dish, along with another person, was one of their many soups. This was the Bún Bò Huế/Spicy Beef Noodle Soup for $15.95, listed as Hue Province (Central) spicy beef broth, pork knuckle, sliced beef brisket, and sliced sausage. This was a bit less spicy with less umami than I expected, but it was still pretty well flavored. There was also plenty of meat inside, including several pieces of pork knuckle, and a lot of noodles on the bottom, which were bouncy. This came with the usual assortment of greens, as with typical pho. The other person, who had the same dish as I did, ordered a Dầu Cháo Quẩy, or rather, in this case, a Thêm Quẩy/Soup Doughnut, for an extra $3. This was the Vietnamese version of a Chinese cruller, or Youtiao, and was nice dipped in the broth. As for the other two, one of them got the $14.95 Phở Cha/Vegan Pho with added Bò Viên/Beef Meatballs for an additional $3. They seemed to like it and took some of it home. The last person went with and loved the $15.95 Thit Kho/Claypot Braised Pork Belly, which looked excellent and, honestly, better than my dish, at least in appearance. We had a pretty good Vietnamese meal here. It's above average compared to the typical spot, but I likely wouldn't trek all the way back up the subway to go back here. If I were, I would likely get their Cơm tấm/Broken Rice next time, as that dish looked excellent at another table. read more

What a fantastic gem to have in the Bronx. I was in town visiting family and decided to have lunch here. I was curious what they had to offer and wanted to compare it to the amazing Vietnamese food I've both in Vietnam and in Virginia. We tried their pho, spring rolls, and spring rolls noodle dish (I mistakenly thought I ordered the bun cha pork meatballs but it was spring rolls). The pho was perfectly seasoned and rich. The spring rolls were the authentic since you could tell they used rice paper instead a wheat dough wrapper and were absolutely delicious. The prices were very reasonable and the service was great. It was my sister's first time trying Vietnamese food, by the way, and she love it. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in town to try more of their menu. read more

Overall, the food and service were excellent! The real star of that meal was the appetizers in my opinion. I came in with 2 others in my party without a reservation around 1:40 on a Saturday with the tables half filled and got seated immediately. The menu was on a QR code provided at the table. The wait for the first two appetizers (crispy spring roll & crispy shrimp dumplings) ~15 min. They used the same dipping sauce which tasted like a sweet vinegar. Both were exceptionally crunchy and there were a lot of crispy shrimp rolls to share. If you're feeling adventurous, definitely go for the crispy shrimp dumplings. The next appetizer came soon after and it was the hot wings which tasted more sweet than spicy. It was crunchy but it was still very good all round. Batter was flavorful and the actual meat was juicy. One of the best Asian style wings I've had. Finally the bahn mi (we ordered the one with bone marrow), and both pho came out. The pho's broth was nice and you can taste the aromatics which was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint would be the rice noodles sticking together when it was served meaning it was like eating a block of noodles at times. However overall good pho. read more

Was in the area so stopped by for dinner! Fast service with a QR menu code and attentive waiters. Their 2018 Michelin Guide sign was also quick to catch my eye. Tried the spring rolls which were delicious but almost $12! Saw a lot of employees sit down after to chow down on some hot wings so if I find my way back, I'll try those. Bun bo hue was good but not the best. Brisket and bone marrow bahn mi was good but also not the best. Was not bursting with flavor and the baguette was not soft and warm but not crispy if thats what you are a fan of. Overall, good place if you are nearby but would not go out of my way. Would focus on their vermicelli bowls, rice dishes or hot wings! read more

I rarely ever write a second review, but honestly, this place deserves it. This is my go-to pho spot in New York, hands down. The broth is so flavorful -- rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying -- and it's the only place in the city that consistently hits the spot for me. My husband and I have our usual combo: Beef pho (with extra raw meat) Beef rolls Summer rolls Everything together usually comes out to around $65 total for two, which is kind of amazing considering how full we both get -- we almost always leave with leftovers! Finding that kind of value in NYC feels nearly impossible these days. A few tips: Eat in person. Delivery just doesn't do it justice -- the broth and noodles never hold up as well, and something always gets mixed up. Expect crowds. It's a popular spot, especially in colder months, so you might end up at whatever table is free. All in all, this place is a gem. Warm, hearty, and full of flavor -- it's the kind of pho that makes you forget about the rest of the world for a moment. I can't wait to go back! read more

The best Vietnamese cuisine in the Bronx is here! I order from this restaurant every month and it is an amazing experience each time. The shrimp summer roll is my favorite appetizer dish. These are delicious, clean and you can tell they're made with fresh ingredients. The peanut sauce adds a great accent. My favorite noodle soup to order is Beef Pho, which has slices of beef and a variety of toppings like bean sprouts, onion, lime, and jalapeño. I truly love how light and fresh the flavors of this dish are. The handmade lime soda goes will with anything! About a year ago, Li, the restaurant's owner, took over. She is super sweet and she has done a fantastic job fulfilling her mission of providing the Bronx with elevated Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Oh no..Nope. Y'all why was my pho tough AND sweet?? My Beef Brisket and bone marrow banh mi also SWEET??!! WHO puts sugar in a banh mi that is meant to be savory?? Absolutely not. It makes me feel as if they understand their locals have certain addictions and add sugar to keep them coming back. I eat alot of Pho in many different places. Never have I ever had sweet pho. Let alone SWEET bone marrow (eeww) and brisket banh mi. Should've chose Vpho instead. This is my karma for being disloyal lol Never again. 4+ stars of illusion. Yucky. read more

Stopped by Pho NK Com Ga Ninh Kieu after spending some time at Ocean Casino and wanted to get some fresh air--it's about a 10-minute walk and a nice break from the casino atmosphere. The food was decent overall. The pho broth stood out the most--it was flavorful and comforting without being too heavy. The noodles were cooked well, but the meat (both beef and chicken) was just okay and could use some improvement in quality and tenderness. I also tried the spring rolls, which were crispy and delicious--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The spot itself is casual and good for a quick bite rather than a long sit-down meal. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a decent option if you're nearby and craving Vietnamese food, especially for the broth and appetizers, but the meat quality could be better. read more

Be prepared to wait for a table, but it is worth it. I've been eating at this spot since previous ownership. I think it is better now for most people. I like both versions. The atmosphere is better. Service is slow and somewhat erratic. The food is tasty and I continue to return over the years. It is busier now more than ever. Good for them. I wish this quality place well! read more

I brought my brother here who was visiting from the west coast and was really excited to try some pho on the east coast. The restaurant had a pleasant vibe from my last visit. This particular visit I decided to dine in because I also brought my daughters along with us. My picky eater order a sandwich, we got some wings, pho, spring rolls, and some garlic noodles. We enjoyed everything from the service to the food. I was so happy that my picky eater enjoyed her sandwich, because she doesn't like anything lol. The only thing that was not good was the garlic noodles. We would order everything else again. As for my brother he enjoyed his pho, but he said the west coast had more options. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping! read more

This is by far my favorite spot for Vietnamese food in the city, I just wish it was closer to where I live! Growing up in a Vietnamese household, it's incredibly difficult to find a restaurant that can live up to the standards of mom's home cooking but this place was definitely up to par. My boyfriend and I came here for lunch and we split all the dishes. We got the spring rolls, chicken wings, banh mi, rice special, and braised pork belly. Every bite was a taste of home but my absolute favorites were the banh mi and braised pork belly. We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day and we finished our lunch with the delicious coconut jelly dessert, highly recommend checking out the dessert fridge! Can't wait to return here the next time I'm missing home. read more

I've been going to this place for approximately 15 years now before it got super popular. It's a residual of an old Vietnamese neighborhood in the 80s after the Vietnam war. My favorite thing to get from them, besides the fall, the garlic noodles, and the roasted bone marrow sandwich. The service is quick. The people are very nice. The only thing is is that it's a pain to get to if you drive because there's no parking. It's right next to the Ford train station though. read more

Since CTNK has changed owners, the quality has diminished. If you remember the lady that worked here, that most reviewers commented was mean, then you know what has been lost. Yes, they've spruce up the place and made it look pretty but lipstick on a pig doesn't make the pig a pageant winner. We lived fairly close to this restaurant at one time, and it was a favorite spot for my family. We too a pause and revisited during the pandemic, only to find a new decor, new faces, but the same menu (mostly) with some contemporary additions. At this time, the service took a little longer, as the restaurant became flooded by in-person dining as well as numerous online orders, but the food was still good. Now that we've moved further away, it has bee difficult to find the time to swing by, especially with their early close time, so it's been a while since we've gotten food from here. When I finally found an opportunity, they were under construction, but quickly reopened - a hint that they've switched management again. They've adopted the awards and accolades from the restaurant that lived here in the past but it is not the same. It's a disappointment. We came here for a large order and decided to have some food while we waited. We ordered their lime soda which is supposed to be homemade (not sure about that) and some of their wings. The staff definitely does not look the same. I was first turned off when I witnessed an employees adjusting their masks with gloves on and then handling containers and food for takeout orders. The soda we ordered had a hair floating in it. The wings we ordered took almost 45 minutes to receive and the attitude that we got when we first walked in to order takeaway but sat down because we also wanted to dine in on some apps was surprising. I'm not sure what happened to that lady that worked here a few years ago, but I miss her and her work ethic. She was always nice to me, and even gave me should massages while we waited for our food. We never had issues with cleanliness. The place wasn't pretty and dolled up but it won blue ribbons across the board with how many people raved about the food. Definitely an end of an era...maybe the new owners will adjust or maybe the next ones will do better. read more

The food is just amazingly delicious. A taste of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The wings are so crunchy and the sauce is perfect. All types of Pho, or do a classic dish with noodles or jasmine rice. The serving sizes are large, so come with an appetite or leave with leftovers. There's about 10-12 tables inside, but the place is usually full. The only con is the cleanliness of the place. They should hire a professional cleaning company to do a deep clean. At least you can look into the kitchen if you're worried about how the food is handled. read more

Food was just alright here - prices were decent for the city. Rice plate portion size was good. Pork chop was a little lean and quite thin, pork skin and fried bean curd were done well. The steamed egg meatloaf tasted different than expected. The pho broth was quite flavorful, and noodles were the right texture - onions were sliced quite thick though.. and the ratio of meat wasn't the best. Overall ambiance was clean, very busy during weekend lunch. read more

Food was amazing but the egg rolls. It was a bit salty. Aside from that, the chicken wings were absolutely one of the best I have ever had. Pho was so good as well.

I don't often give such a low rating for a restaurant, and it's especially painful because we've had such a good history with this place. It was a kind of hole-in-the-wall, and for a few years before the pandemic, we would frequent this restaurant for their good drinks, fantastic array of Vietnamese food and good service. Even within the time around the pandemic, their quality stayed very consistent. Unfortunately, that seems to have changed on multiple fronts. We went to eat-in and order dinner to-go, and I started out with their homemade lime soda; unfortunately, I found a hair inside the cup and had to abort that idea--but I decided to continue and give them a chance. We further ordered our food to-go and wings to eat there, which led to our next issue and the final nail in the coffin. It took 45 minutes for us to get those wings...that we never actually got. This is such a stark contrast with what this place used to provide, it was like whiplash: food that we couldn't even try to review, tainted drinks, and apathetic service. It's possible that this new management could get better in the future, but I know I won't be in it. read more

This was my go-to pho restaurant many years ago. Since it had been five years since my last visit, I decided to try it again. Sadly, the pho was a letdown - it was very watery and lacked flavor, with hardly any beef flavor. Everything else, however, was excellent. We had the rolls, summer rolls, shrimp tofu wraps, and com tam, which is a rice dish that comes with your choice of protein, Vietnamese meatloaf egg, pickled veggies, and white rice. My girls grew up eating here 10 years ago and when the owner passed it had charge owners and sadly the looks are gone. I would definitely go again for the other dishes. read more

My son was craving pho so we looked up the best spot in The Bronx, we came across Com Tam. I looked up reviews on Yelp, then decided to give them a try. I called and placed my order over the phone, my son had chicken pho and I had the garlic noodles. The garlic noodles were DELICIOUS & fresh, I'm definitely going back just for those noodles. My son's pho was okay he said, after adding all the ingredients that were placed on the side of the bowl in a separate bag the pho tasted better. Of course my son enjoyed my noodles better. The customer service was good we were greeted as we approached the counter. The gentleman was friendly, that's always a great thing, customer service really matters when purchasing anything. The area had a lot going on it's Jerome Ave under the 4 train so that was to be expected. The restaurant has a few tables for indoor dining and it's clean inside. I'd recommend this restaurant and definitely try the garlic noodles. read more

If you're going for Pho or their crispy fried wings, then this is place for you. They have managed to perfect both and the serving is plenty. However, if you're looking for a delicious Bahn Mi stay away. I ordered the lemongrass chicken Bahn Mi during lunch and when I arrived they asked me to wait a couple of minutes. I thought they were cooking the chicken as I waited. Unfortunately, that was not the case, they simply forgot about my order. The chicken was cold, it tasted like it was sitting around. The bread which is the part people look forward to was stale and it was a hero. It was not the a short, light, and airy Vietnamese baguette with a very thin, crispy, and crackly crust.
