The food(mì/hủ tiếu tập cẩm) was undeniably great, it was the extraordinary service by Kai/Bi that truly stole the show! He was calm and patient not typical in a fast paced eatery.
The food was okay. The bun bo wasn't spicy enough. It wasn't bad, but wasn't as flavorful like I had at other places. The price was definitely reasonable for what you get.
I stopped by for the first time this afternoon a little after the lunch hour to avoid the rush. Easy parking - literally in front of the restaurant. I was greeted right when I walked in - no wait for party of 1. The environment is cute - the interior is warm and inviting. There's both regular tables and booths - which I prefer - since it sorta defines your personal space. The menu is simple - two pages - food on the front, drinks/dessert on the back. I was trying to decide between the Com Ga Hai Nam, or the Bun Bo Hue - went with the BBH when I found out the steamed chicken is served cold. Servers are friendly. I had just enough time to browse the menu and decide on what to get before someone came to take my order. They brought out my veggie/condiment plate shortly after my order. Soda Chanh - I knocked off a star for this since the drink was flat! There is a Vietnamese drink that is also called Da Chanh - which is fresh lemon squeezed water - but I definitely didn't order that one, since my Soda Chanh had a few bubbles in it initially. There was some hint of carbonation - but it was otherwise flat! Definitely was not refreshing at all. If I wanted boring water, I would've ordered tea or still water. The Bun Bo Hue though on the other hand - was awesome! Literally one of the better BBH's I've eaten in the area. I requested it without the cubed blood "pudding" - but kept the pork feet. Normally I order BBH without the blood and the feet, but I didn't want to deprive myself of protein in case they wouldn't sub the removed items with anything else. There was a good ratio of protein to noodles - but the broth was perfect. It had just the right amount of seasoning - spices, lemongrass to it. Protein wise - there were meatballs, beef shank, pork hock, and tendon. Generous cuts of tendon. It was amazing! Tendon is one of my favorite Vietnamese noodle soup toppings - and Ghien Mi Go did not disappoint. There were cuts of tendon that was just right (tendon can be overcooked/undercooked). The noodles were thick - like typical BBH noodles - thicker than pho noodles, but thinner than banh canh (udon) noodles. All of this, with the rich and flavorful broth base - made for an awesome bowl. My lunch was almost perfect. The flat soda chanh was a bit disappointing, but I'll either ask them whether there's a fresher soda water available - or just pick another drink to get. Service was great - I had a brief chat with the owner when I paid. Her colleague mentioned that the com ga can be served cold or warmed up (at the customer's discretion) - so I'll know for next time when I come to visit - and I definitely plan to come back in the very near future.
Authentic Vietnamese food. We order #10 yellow noodle dry with their special sauce tossed in the noodle and a small bowl ò soup on the side. It was so tasty!!! We also order the yellow noodle soup #19. The service was great, the workers were prompt and courteous! Definitely coming back for more!
We went here for lunch and it was packed. We had to wait a few minutes to be greeted and seated. The restaurant was clean and bustling. Our orders came out pretty quickly and portions were a bit disappointing if you order it dry style with a side of soup. I wish there were a bit more noodles for the Large portion that I ordered. Maybe if I ordered it as a noodle soup, it might have been better. Will have to return to try it again in that option. A lot of people were ordering the beef bones.
