Fried cod and furikake fries best i ever had Just what I needed for good friday Service was fantastic read more

This is likely my third or fourth review of the same location which is a bit unusual for me. I recently heard they were serving Fish N Chips, and as I am forever on the hunt for the best fare of this persuasion I just had to try the newest offering at Cong N Go. I actually was not that hungry but after discussion of the dish with the owners I just had to sample it right then. I ordered it to go but not even kidding I almost ate all three pieces it was that good. Oh my goodness, hands down some of the very best Fish N Chips I ever ate. Nice plateful with three good size pieces. The batter is flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. The vinegrette sauce with aioli mayo and a mix of spices makes the fishes flavors blend very nicely. Cambodian crunchy slaw is a very tasty pairing. Maybe just a tad on the salty side but otherwise perfect. A good helping of narrow fries as well. Definitely enough food to be shareable if you are able to or even want to. I will be looking forward to returning for the light flavorful Alaskan cod at Cong N Go as long as they continue to serve it. Thanks so much for an excellent and very enjoyable afternoon meal. The food here overall is amazing and all of you looking for a change of pace have to stop by and sample the menu. read more

This feels like mostly a boba tea place, but I came for the Cambodian food and will be back for more. I shared a salad, pork stew, and fried chicken with a friend. The food was generally very tasty, with two caveats: the pork stew had large amounts of fat I didn't want to eat, but that surely added to the flavor of the broth, and the fried chicken was seemingly entirely unsalted. The vibe was casual, clean, and extremely friendly. I'll be back. read more

We walked in at around 3pm, right away noticed the cleanand well maintained sitting area. The restaurant sits about 20 people comfortably. We walked up to the counter to order but Because of my other experiences at other boba spots I right away thought it was going to take forever for someone to notice us,(I am traumatized‍) but even before I could finish my thought you could tell they were more than happy to take our order. I encouraged everyone to go here immediately you are missing out on amazing things!!! just to start off with the natural taste of our drinks was amazing you could tell they were authentic I am not a fan of powder milk teas at all and the town is full of them EXCEPT This one !!! having lived in San Jose I sadly have consumed a high standard for authentic Asian foods (which is okay) and this place transported me to that. No doubt!! Did I mention it's Veteran owned?!!! Yes, read all about it inside the store, lovely people work there, although they did get busy while we waited for our made to order mochi donut they maintain their great customer service they delivered my mochi donut well under four minutes. Drinks were made under two minutes very impressed. And price point !!! $5 -$7 I am going to try everything on the menu I know it's not going to disappoint. read more

This is a great addition to have Cambodian food in the area! We didn't need a reservation for Friday dinner, which was nice. The freshly made hot mochi donuts were the standout, I have definitely been craving them since! Brussel sprouts were delicious, dry noodles were yummy, and the fried tofu with the chili sauce were recommended by others and good. We all liked our drinks. The crab fried rice had a nutty heavier flavor, and the Cambodian salad is simple and refreshing. We got to talk with one of the owners who is awesome & hope the restaurant does well! read more

3.5 stars for now. If you want Cambodian food, this is it for the area. But then again, it's awesome that there is something different to try from the usual international cuisines. The kathiew is considered the national dish which I ordered. It was pretty darn good but heavy. Definitely worth coming back to explore further though. read more

Incredible story, amazing food! We were craving banh mi, this place sounded legit, so we drove out to Grocery Outlet. You step inside, and you know you are going to eat WELL. A chicken banh mi needs to be special to rival a pork one, but THIS is place! I don't know what they did to that bird, but every bite was a symphony of flavor. We literally went back the next day for another one. We both had tea drinks, too, which were delicious--no cloying flavoring, just fresh, true flavors. The pandan coconut cake...I died. WHOA. The second day we got a black sesame coconut mochi donut, and it hit the spot perfectly. I could live inside this place and die happy. The sisters are SO lovely, too! If you understand that some of the meals that make you happiest are the ones you eat in a strip-mall joint because the folks there KNOW food, then this is the place for you. read more

Amazing Cambodian traditional food. We had the Khmer version of Pho and it was full of flavor and was a generous portion. The mochi donut was taken to go and hours later, it was still good. I got excited and immediately took a bite before getting a picture. The calamari was perfect and even had the tentacles, which is my favorite part! The owners were super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

The Cambodian pho is so good! I wanted something soupy and savory, and this really hits the spot. The broth was super flavorful, noodles are perfectly cooked, and it had solid chunks of meat. Also, I want to mention that the water they provide with a little lime wedge inside is very good and refreshing. We had two whole pitchers of it and there's a distinct taste to it that I can't seem to pinpoint. It might be lemongrass but I'm not sure. There was only one employee at the front, and they were very friendly. I like how they have many options for meals, snacks, and drinks on their menu. Food came out pretty fast and everything was delicious. The restaurant and bathrooms were nice and clean. read more

Very welcoming environment with plenty of parking. Outdoor seating is available. And they have cool little Knick knacks for photos. I ordered a salted caramel lavender milk tea with lychee boba. It was AMAZING! Everything had such a nice flow on the palette. I was also impressed with their churro donut. Very happy overall with taste, aesthetics, and the variety of their menu.

I've always wanted to try this spot whenever I'm in Monterey, and I'm so glad I finally did. I ordered the grilled beef satay; it was absolutely delicious, and I'm a huge fan of lemongrass! I also tried their Vietnamese iced coffee, which came in a cool tall can; such a nice touch. I initially thought this was just a café serving drinks, but it's actually a full restaurant offering Cambodian food. I even got to meet the owner and their family; super friendly and attentive. I'll be back for round two; there's so much more I want to try! read more

We walked over to this area while my car was being worked on... initially just anting tea but the menu looked so good. Husband got the beef sandwich (Banh Mi) and loved it! Bread is made in house btw.. also the pate. Our son got the beef fried rice and it was incredible! He said "this deserves so much respect" I got chicken satay and ate every bite! I love that it's dark meat because that is much easier for me to digest. So much flavor! We started with 2 jasmine teas and 1 Vietnamese coffee. Drank them all and got more! The Vietnamese coffee is probably the best I've had in the bay area! Seriously do not be deterred by the outside. It is worth it. read more

Loved this place-- we came from out of town where there's a lot of Asian food so our standards are high but this place hit the spot! We got the Cambodian salad + crab which was my favorite. The Alaskan cod was also suuupperr good and we enjoyed the noodle soup as well. Sad that we don't have this spot back at home. Service was great as well. 10000% recommend! read more

I visited Congo Go in Seaside, CA on Saturday, 1/4/25, around 6 PM. For the entire meal, I decided to get the Crab Puffs, Cambodian Kathiew (Phó) and Strawberry Kiwi Oolong Tea. Everything was tasty from start to finish. My absolute favorite was the refreshingly, wonderful tea. I almost ordered another one in this visit, that was how extremely good it was. The inside of the restaurant was great. It was spacious, modern, inviting and decorated beautifully overall. The customer service was friendly and lovely. The restroom was clean and tidy. Overall, Congo Go serves amazing food and offers splendid service to the general public. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I'm going to go back and try the food a second time. Why? Because I love the back story about the sisters. I love that they use quality ingredients. I love that they are a small, women-owned business daring to introduce us to Cambodian cuisine. When I walked in, I was greeted cheerfully and told to feel free to ask questions. The young woman was such a sweetie! I'm a Berkeley girl. I've been to Cambodian restaurants in the SF Bay Area, and understand the differences distinguishing South East Asian cuisines. I think that the flavors of the two dishes I tried were very authentically Cambodian. I loved the seasoning of the Red Curry Soup that contained shredded white meat chicken, thick carrot coins, chopped onion, and boiling potato chunks. It looked gorgeous! A one cup serving that comes with a scoop of Jasmine rice cost about $8. What a screamin' deal! It was delicious which made the chicken really stand out as drier-than-dust. I also ordered the Dry-fried Cambodian Noodles. In the 15 minutes that it took to get home, the noodles were totally clumped together. You'll see in the accompanying photo (if I can figure out how to attach it!) that it was a solid mass of noodle. There were 4 to 6 thin slices of chewy, lean beef, and 3 very large shrimps. The bean sprouts looked and crunched as if fresh, but they smelled of ammonia. The restaurant itself has a cute neighborhood diner feel. As the daughter of a health inspector, I always check out the back door of a restaurant leading to the dumpster. If the back door is clean, it's a good bet the place is run carefully and thoughtfully. It's scrupulously clean. I'm definitely going to come back and see if my experience was just on an off day. read more

I think the biggest issue with this spot is that they are not able to show off how much of a culinary experience this place really is. Unless you get the privilege to talk to the owners, you wouldn't know that all of their sauces are house made from scratch, all of their broths are fresh made in the kitchen, all of their drinks are made from raw ingredients and never from powder, and that their owner is trained and comes from in fine dining from the most prestigious restaurants in the Carmel region. There is so much about this restaurant that is left to be discovered, but even if you did not know any of that, all you have to do is order and try it. Their food is delicious and well portioned. Every customer I have seen enter loves it there. If you are not familiar with Cambodian food, their flavors are not exactly like the typical Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese foods, and that is because they are an entirely different culture with different culturally-significant herbs and spices. But if you can appreciate good food of any kind, you will be impressed eating here. We also ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Brown sugar milk tea with boba. The vVietnamese coffee tastes EXACTLY like how we had it in Vietnam. The coffee is rich and has a liqueur like consistency. The brown sugar milk tea is also the BEST we have tried by far. The flavor is so smooth and you can taste the natural, brown sugar's granules, giving it a pleasant texture with the drink. Ambiance is casual and very welcoming. The environment is especially great because Tia and V who are operating the spot are so kind and happy to help. We love it here and wish we live locally to eat here more often!!! read more

Congo Go Does it again bringing that heat. First I had to get the Lao Sausage Bowl The Lao Sausage is so good. The sausage is tender and so flavorful with all the herbs and spices they use. also has this char flavor from being grilled. So Seriously so good. Server in a bowl with rice and a bright vibrant Salad/slaw made with Mango, papaya and carrots. Perfect combination and balance of flavors. 2nd I got the Banh Mi. And for an upcharge subbed in Lao Sausage for the meat. This was hands down the best Banh Mi in the 831. Bread is made fresh in house and it is so crispy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. Great for a banh Mi. the Lao Sausage was great as usual and they even make their own Late with chicken. The balance of the amount of Pate along with the mayonnaise on the bread, the sausage and all the fresh veggies. Man it was amazing. And super big as well. Well worth the price tag. Lastly had to give the Dubai chocolate another try. The last time I got it there were a few things that needed a helping hand to make the bart great and they def listened and put those changes in the new version. Chocolate was super snappy. The Kataifi was crispy becusee it was all coated in white chocolate. The pistachio cream was good as well. It was a perfect harmony of sweetness, bitterness crunch and richness. Do recommend. Not pictured were the Hot Matcha Latte, Spicy Mangonada Yuzu, and my personal favorite the Blueberry Lychee Drink. read more

Zero stars if I could. We ordered very expensive donuts and when we realized they were undercooked, we brought them back. Instead of remaking them or properly handling the issue, an employee took the donuts to the back, ate and tried them, and then returned what was left to us. We were only given a 50% refund, and they had eaten almost every single donut except one. We didn't even realize this until we got home. This was extremely unclean, unprofessional, and unacceptable food handling. Not to mention the restaurant was dirty. Between the poor sanitation and the bad customer service, this was a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place. Very sad handling we were consistent customers. (Edit to owner : Your response is not accurate. We saw an employee in the back eating the donuts, and when we opened the box later, several were missing, which is why we questioned it. A full refund was never offered at any time. Instead of addressing the sanitation issue, this reply shifts blame onto the customer. This only confirms the poor service we experienced. Will definitely no longer recommend this place, very disappointing service. ) read more

Fun spot with someone in a boba suit dancing outside! Love the unique presentation of drinks, they put them in soda can type bottles with the lid and everything. Stopped by for a quick snack and enjoyed the popcorn chicken! I wouldn't really say it's popcorn chicken like the Taiwanese style with seasoning and basil, it's more like mini chicken nuggets. Service was reasonably fast given how many people there were, and everyone was super kind and helpful. No frills ambiance, spacious and good amount of seating. Also I couldn't tell if the sauces are extra $$, the cashier was going to charge me for them, but when I went to pick up my order, I saw they giving them out for free when requested. read more

Not good not bad. Pretty boba shop but the food did not cut it. The 'Spicy Mangonada Yuzu' was too sweet with no mango flavor. The Taro had coconut water taste, did not taste like taro. The fried foods like the 'Popcorn Chicken' and Mochi Donuts tasted more like oil, reminded us of the fried carnival food. When picking up my order decided to get a slice of the blueberry cheesecake that was only sweet and lacking cheesecake flavor. Also doing 3 star rating for the customer service, while picking up order out of the full staff nobody asked if I needed help. Reply to business owner, it's always polite to greet customers. My review would be the same even if owner was male. To other Yelp reviewers, do not leave review that might hurt owners feelings even it's your honest opinion. Please see other 2/3 star reviews for reference. She does not take critique well and lacks professionalism. The review does not talk trash about the establishment, it was a review only on the items purchased. It was only constructive criticism and originally had 3 stars from me, sorry the owner did not take feedback well and her aggressive response made me go down to 1 star due to her inappropriate response poor and cyberstalking. Funny that the order was ready immediately, but when I checked you said you were working on the last drink. I did not drive a white car for pick up so it makes me uncomfortable knowing you used my partners purchase information to stalk his social media. Everyone who follows him knows we did not attend event. read more

This is a nice spot to study, and I appreciated the unique packaging--it comes in a can with a pop-off top, which was a creative touch. I ordered the "Original Thai Tea," but unfortunately, it did not taste like Thai tea at all. The drink was brown in color and made with condensed milk, which is not typical of an authentic Thai tea preparation. To me, it tasted more like Vietnamese coffee. When I mentioned this, the staff member responded curtly, insisting it was Thai tea rather than offering an alternative. I came in excited to try the drinks but ultimately left disappointed. read more

Was really hopeful for a local boba place. The cups are cute but the drinks and toppings were not great. The boba looked funny and the texture was off. The lychee jelly was mushy and didn't taste like lychee. Good thing they only gave a small spoonful of toppings. Price for the large is $8 plus $0.50/ topping. Not worth it in my opinion. The fried tofu was ok. Not much flavor. We got home and added sauce and it was better. She did ask us if we needed sauce so maybe we should have gotten sauce there. Add: yes I asked if there was a frequent customer card. Like if you buy 10 the. You get 1 free. I wasn't expecting a discount today. read more

Fantastic!! I had the Banh me sandwich and it was delicious!! I want to try the bowls because they look delicious!!

The boba drinks are always the best- my son got the tropical paradise and my 10 year old daughter pronounced her strawberry milk tea as "5 stars!" I tried the bahn mi with their homemade Laos sausage for the first time, and had to get my favorite fried cauliflower of course. Trying the Dubai chocolate for the first time, it looks pretty epic, and they keep it chilled! I've always been super impressed with everything we've gotten here.

Drove far to get boba tea and they tasted horrible. Do not recommend, was very disappointed.

Nice place. Super clean. Lots of seating. I ordered the Shrimp and calamari stir fry. It was okay and kind of bland. It need a bit more sale and pepper and a thicker sauce. The chicken satay was ver good. Three pieces. Nicely grilled as well. Service was efficient as you have to order at the counter. I think I need to order more of variety of dishes to get a better feel of the food. The big let down was no chopsticks in the to-go box. read more

This restaurant is new, and nestled in the shopping center on Broadway, right next to the Chase Bank (which is closed). I was able to easily park and went in for lunch. Walking in, I was welcomed in and went to the counter to order my food. There were plenty of open chairs and it looks like it's good for groups. The gender neutral bathrooms were very clean, and for some reason, there were no high chairs available. I ordered the Chicken Satay, Asian Brussel Sprouts, Egg rolls and a Blueberry Lychee Green Tea. Even though I was seated in the restaurant, everything was served in to-go packaging. The Green tea was good, but overpoweringly sweet. The egg rolls were excellent, like they just came out of the fryer, and the chili sauce was alright, a bit sweet for my liking. The chicken satay had a nice char on it and was lightly seasoned. The Brussel sprouts weren't the best. All you could taste was the char on the sprouts. Would I come back? Sure. I'd want to try the milk tea, the fries and the beef satay. I wish this restaurant good luck Price. $29.50 read more

I come to this place all the time and I love it! The mochi donuts & pandan cake are some of my favorites!

Homemade yumminess with Vietnamese coffee.. The beef bao is fresh and amazing and the drinks are incredible!!

Was driving through the area on New Year's Day after playing at Pebble Beach Golf Club. I was craving a boba drink and came across this restaurant through Yelp reviews. Walking in, the restaurant had this great tropical ambiance and good music vibe. I was greeted with a warm smile from the server (Bea) and asked her for recommendations. She showcased the wide variety of boba selection and I went ahead and ordered my go-to Ube Boba drink for myself and the family. Looking around, I could just tell this restaurant is all about quality and great service. The kids and I enjoyed the boba drinks and we'll definitely come back again to try out the restaurant side. On a side note, we also tried out the Ube mochi donuts... OMGEEE all I have to say is, WOW! They were heavenly, especially when served fresh and warm. Wish we had this kind of restaurant in our hometown. Bottom line: Definitely will be coming back to Congo go on our next visit to the Monterey/Seaside area! read more

My husband and I got their shrimp fried rice, Congo rice bowl & a dozen mochi donuts. The fried rice was delicious and full of flavor! The shrimps were large and cooked just right (good crust & juicy). My husband loved his rice bowl too. We were thoroughly impressed with the mochi donuts. We've had mochi donuts in various Chinatowns, like on the East coast and Bay Area, and I can honestly say these are hands-down the best mochi donuts we've ever had!!! They're made to order & the donut dough was incredible. They have a great exterior and soft chewy texture on the inside. They are absolutely worth every penny. We'll be repeat customers for sure. read more
