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

Stopped here for satay chicken. Walked in, quiet and owner was very pleasant and nice. Menu on screens with photos which was great if you need a visual. They serve boba and mochi donuts! We skipped the boba (not because we don't like boba, we wanted to stay within our budget at that time). We order the chicken satay and rice and a pork bahn mi. The chicken satay was marinated a little different than most satay (yellowish) chicken, but I liked the taste. My picky daughter loves satay chicken but this marinade just wasn't for her, which was ok. The pork bahn mi reminded me of my youth. It's tastes & made like the traditional bahn mi with the cured pork slices and liver spread. I enjoyed it. I subtracted 1 star because of the rice. A spot of the rice was dried. I picked it off and the rest was fine, but for feedback, make sure your rice doesn't have dried/crusted rice mixed in the bowl. All in all, nice spot for traditional food. The mochi donuts were probably the best. Might go back to try their pho. read more

Man that Vietnamese coffee really doesn't joke around. It's a new business so the interior still needs some time to fill out, but does the food and drink shine in here. Friendly but also unashamed about their culture, so they are true to the flavors and proud to give you a quality order. That also means you may be surprised how different the boba or drink will be with taste and texture. My wife and I struggled to find a good boba shop and this place feels so promising. Matcha donut is incredible. The glaze is all matcha, not some nerfed green sugar coat. read more

So my family went to visit my SIL in Marina and stumbled upon this place. It has the most authentic, fresh and modern takes on Cambodian food. It was flavorful, homey and service was great. We got the Phò, red curry soup, chicken fried rice, popcorn chicken, furikake fries and fried tofu. If you don't know what those are you need to order them to find out. We appreciated the service. My daughter has a peanut allergy and even though most of their food didn't have peanuts they were mindful and made sure no peanuts were in the food. Their boba is home made and so it is on the sweater side but the texture is on point. This place needs to be promoted more, so let your friends know about the great, exotic Asian food here at Congo Go. read more

Worst customer service ever, the lady that helped me was so rude to me. And said she didn't have change for a 50 dollar bill seeing my wallet had only 50's by this time it's 6pm I don't understand on how they didn't have change its as if she did not want to help. Then she said they didn't take bills over 20. I asked her politely that they should put a sign near the cash register to let the customer know that they do not take bills over $20. She got extremely mad. It was terrible. read more

Across the board, a great experience! We were greeted very warmly, and all of our questions on the menu answered very enthusiastically. What touched us was the attention to detail about allergies we mentioned, not just once, but coming to the table just to offer additional suggestions and alternatives. We both had the fried chicken which was great and made us want to come back and eat around the menu! Brea came out and with her husband chatted with us like we were old family, they were delightful. Support your local business! read more

Drove from San Jose, CA just to try the food at Congo Go and I was NOT disappointed. The shrimp in the blanket was my FAV and the calamari was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. If you are in Seaside, CA or the surrounding areas this place is a MUST!!! Looking forward to bringing my family next time I visit!!! The service was amazing and the restaurant owner was very welcoming!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time. The front of house was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and had a youthful vibe to it. I ordered the Cambodian Kathiew Phó and Taro milk tea to go. The Phó was flavorful only thing that would have made it better is if I had it at the restaurant. The milk tea was well made and silky. I well absolutely eat here again. read more

We discovered this place on our way back from some sightseeing looking for some lunch. When we walked in it was pretty empty, save for a couple who just finished their meal and some people who came in after us. The place was clean, bright, and super welcoming. Their bathrooms were clean as well. The lady at the counter was so nice, kind, and friendly. She gave us really helpful suggestions and description for different options, and after we ordered she offered to put together some tables for our party of 5. They had a bunch of different flavors of mochi donuts which looked super good, I regret not trying at least one. We ended up choosing the Cambodian dry noodle, Congo rice bowl, Cambodian seafood broth noodle soup, and the Cambodian fresh salad with asian vinaigrette to which we added tofu as our protein. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and delicious. The portions were also pretty big. Among the 5 of us, we still had a decent portion of each of the four dishes leftover which we took home. Overall, this was a great lunch, I would totally come back. read more

Tried this place for the first time today - my boyfriend saw it pop up in a local Facebook group, and we both love milk tea. It was on our list of places to check out. The aesthetic in here is so cute! We got fried tofu and egg rolls, both of which were tasty. Plenty of vegan options on the menu/fruit teas.

We so, so badly wanted to like this place. When I saw some of the reviews I thought why not try it and my daughter and I went today and got the yuzu lavender tea with boba and the brown sugar milk tea with boba. Both the tea itself had good flavor...we were just really disappointed with the boba. It was over cooked and mushy which we were both disappointed about since we both like the chewy texture of boba balls. We also tried the egg rolls, calamari, and the beef on a stick. So the calamari was amazing!!! Definitely liked the calamari the best. The egg rolls was a different story... they had a very strong, almost plastic like smell and taste to them. We looked inside the egg roll to see what was in it and to be honest, we couldn't make out the filling. Usually you can see the vegetables like cabbage or sprouts or the meat but this one was just a mushy brown filling with nothing distinguishable in it. We both took a bite and spit it back out due to the weird taste and texture. The beef on the stick tasted ok. It was a bit overcooked or like maybe they cooked it in advance and recooked it once ordered. The flavor was good. Almost like a lemongrass and soy sauce taste to it. The staff member was so so nice and sweet. We really wanted to like it and come back for more... but I don't think we will be. Shucks! We love boba tea and was really hoping for a winner. I am giving 3 stars because the service was awesome and the flavor of the tea was good (just boba texture was off) The food was iffy. lol. Oh just to let you all know before hand it is a bit on the pricy side. Two boba and 3 little sides totaled over $56. read more

Just popped in as I was in the neighborhood to try this new spot I hadn't seen before. I was welcomed by Bea who was the part owner with her sister and she was so sweet! I wanted to try the taro milk tea with Boba and I was looking to try the Chinese donut. She said they ran out but suggested I tried the Louisiana beignets which was an excellent suggestion since I have just come back from Louisiana and was missing some beignets. There is not a place around that makes them that I'm aware of so I happily agreed. One order consists of six beignets. They were very good not doused with powdered sugar like they do in Louisiana, which I was totally fine with. They were perfectly fried, not greasy at all and the right amount of sweetness. The taro milk tea I asked to not be too sweet and she made it just the right amount of a perfect medium blend of not too sweet. It comes in a very cool container that turns it into a clear can that you can pop open like a soda pop can--very convenient for on the go. I chatted with her for a little bit and she was so nice and explained her and her sister wanted to open a place that served a different variety of Asian foods not offered here. I couldn't agree more as we are lacking a lot of Asian food diversity here. And she commented that she wants to offer things that people might normally have to drive to San Jose to get. So thank you to them for not making me make that drive ! The shop was very cute and I liked the little leaf lanterns inside. It should be a cool little spot to hang out or grab a quick bite to eat on the go. Living in San Francisco this reminds me of a lot of small Asian dessert shops there that are popular hangouts that offer both sweet and savory small dishes. Definitely support this place. These ladies are local and they deserve our business! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick lunch. Wow we did not expect to have such a great culinary experience! Best chicken satay (so tender and flavorful) and mochi donut I've ever had. Never had Cambodian style pho before and wanted to try it- it was delicious! Not too salty, great flavors. The popcorn chicken was excellent. They also have the viral chocolate bars. We got that to go. Very excited to try it. The milk tea were excellent too. We met Bea who is very friendly and sweet. We will definitely be coming back to try other food and drinks! read more

This is seriously my favorite Cambodian restaurant in the area. Thea and Bea are super friendly as well as their staff. Their boba is made in the house (just like all their food), and at first it would trip me out because it didn't look like regular boba, but then they explained to me that it was made with no harsh chemicals and just natural ingredients. Recommending this restaurant doesn't make it justice, tell your friends! If they're looking for authentic Cambodian food look no further! Ohhh before I forget, they always have specials, so you'll always have something to pick from! read more

Finally go to try this place out. Live in Salinas and finally was in town. The iced drinks hit the spot on hot day. I liked how they dispensed the drinks. Fancy. My daughter is a mochi donut fan and she loved all 3 flavors we got. They were super soft and delicious. The churro one was my favorite. Tasted just like a churro. Definitely need to come back and try some of their other desserts. Their food looks good so I will definitely be back to give it a try. The lady that rung us up was super nice too. Place looks really nice and they have outdoor seating as well which was nice since I had my doggos with me. read more

The poster on their window is misleading. It shows $4 and $7 for small and large drinks, respectively, but the poster inside the store shows they are actually $5 and $8. My friend and I got ube milk tea with boba and taro milk tea (both the large size). My taro milk tea did not taste like taro. It just tasted like sugary milk. Their menu poster states they use fresh ingredients but they didn't even use fresh milk. While drinking, both of us said that the drink tasted grainy, not smooth. Once I finished the drink, I could see from the remains at the bottom that they used powdered milk. Very disappointing. Their drink sizes are small for the price and low quality. They're served in plastic "cans" with aluminum lids like soda cans. That is probably what makes these drinks cost more. I would rather they put more of the cost I'm paying into giving me more of the drink than paying for the "can". One pro is that it's a decent place to hang out and chat. They do have a few wall outlets available (though not at every table). But I can go to other places to hang out. So I won't be coming back here. read more

My husband got the Vietnamese coffee and I got the Lavender Yuzu with tapioca (WHICH IS MADE FROM SCRATCH!). Also picked up a matcha mochi donut! Drink flavors were robust but not overwhelming. Love the fact that we have mochi donuts in the Monterey Penninsula now! The matcha flavor was very concentrated, which I love! It's hard to find matcha that doesn't taste diluted. What I really heartened me was that the co-owners Vi and Tia are really down-to-earth and got to know us as humans. Loved hearing their story about working from the bottom up within the hospitality industry to owning their own small business! We'll be back for dinner and a crowd of friends to continue to support your efforts! Genuine flavors, ingredients, and lots of love at this shop :) read more

First time trying this place and it was so good. I went with a few friends and we each ordered a few things off the menu. Calamari flavorful and crunchy. Love it with their sweet chili sauce. You can tell the sauce was made from scratch and not bottled. Popcorn chicken has a really good flavor and crunchy. I like how the popcorn chicken pieces are small and bite sized. Brussels sprouts look, I'm not a fan of Brussels sprouts so this was my friend's order. Since it was my first time, I tried them and YUMMM! Soft but had a bit of crunch still and loaded with flavor. Chicken Satay Delicious and had tons of flavor. You could taste all the different herbs and spices used. Mochi Donuts Such a good price for 6 mochi donuts! So expensive at other mochi donut places. We got churro, strawberry, strawberry cheesecake/crumble, Oreo, and matcha. They were all really good. Perfect mochi chewy consistency and the flavors were perfect, not too sweet and tasted natural. Beignets Super yummy! So addicting! They were good just by themselves without a dipping sauce but the sauce does elevate it. Noodle I forgot what the noodle dish was called but it was flavorful and spicy just how I like it! Lao sausage Herby flavor and not too sweet like other lao sausages that I've had. Drinks Green Apple Kiwi with lychee jelly-it was good, has a natural sour taste and hint of sweetness from the homemade lychee jelly I added in the drink. Tea of the day, Mango Green Apple with lychee jelly. This was my favorite drink I got. I liked it more cause it was a bit sweeter from the mango and lychee jelly. I really like how the drinks are used with natural sweeteners and no artificial food dyes. 10/10 would recommend to all! read more

I'm always looking for good boba and decided to give this new place in Seaside a go. Their menu has several food and drink options that sound delicious. I ordered a yuzu lavender green tea with boba, and my partner ordered a taro milk tea with boba. Our drinks were served in a cup that resembles a can. I thought it was kind of cute and different, but when I got to the end of the drink it was hard to get the last boba out since the lid was completely sealed. The drink itself was pretty good, very floral and fresh with a little tang. The taro in my partner's drink was creamy and lightly sweet without the powderiness that some places have. The boba though? Not so great. I think it was hand made, which would be really cool if it were done better. The sizes were varied (some large boba and many tiny boba that don't go up the straw), the color was light beige, the texture was somewhat chewy but a little starchy in the center of larger pieces, and it was pretty much tasteless. Some honey or brown sugar might help. Overall, I did enjoy the drink, I just think the boba could use work. I would go back and try some other items on the menu, looks like it has potential. Aside from the food/drinks, the ambiance is kind of cute, they tried to keep it to a jungle theme.They were playing jungle beats lofi music when we went. There are plenty of tables inside (but no outlets to plug things in). They have a restroom. Our experience with the service was normal. They were polite and answered our questions about the menu. read more

Congo Go is a cute new spot nextdoor to Chase Bank. Service is super friendly and helpful. Interior is clean and cute. Way bigger than I expected with 8 tables inside. Food is delicious. They might have the best calamari I have had on the peninsula. Tender calamari with a light crispy batter. Absolutely scrumptious. Furikake fries are tasty and a huge hit with my kids. Crab Puffs were a little sweet but pretty typical cream cheese style puffs. Chicken satay was well cooked but lacking in flavor and the dipping sauce wasn't quite strong enough to compensate for the char so it was a little underwhelming. The turkey and cheese pastry was my husband's favorite because it was a little sweet and nostalgic. Ube latte was good but I couldn't taste the ube and it is not for anyone who likes sweeter drinks. I like that they make their own Boba pearls dye free. The aloe pieces were a little too big for the straws but otherwise tasty. Next time I will try their popcorn chicken but I will 100% be back for the calamari! read more
