The food is always good here, and I'm glad I came back to give it another chance. Got the combo rice dish, egg pie, egg, pork chop, and pork skin strings (the pork chop was seasoned perfectly, tasty, tender, and juicy) with no rice and an order of duck salad. Service is good, it is what it is, this time we didn't have rude servers which was refreshing because the multiple times before were so bad. I will come back.
Pretty solid com tam! This place is located in a very rough neighborhood but sheltered by a relatively large parking lot located in the back side. Anyways, I am here to write a review of the food not the area, so the food here is 5 stars no doubt. Good Vietnamese food is a bit hard to find here since I have been spoiled by numerous visits to Garden Grove / Westminster area of SoCal and tried a lot of Vietnamese food in Saigon, but I am glad that this place hits the spot. I got the com tam dac biet which had grilled pork chop, sugarcane shrimp, and deep fried bean curd. The grilled pork chop was very tender and nicely marinated, no dry bits. The sugarcane shrimp was juicy and so is the deep fried bean curd. The fried egg is delightful, though overcooked, but both sides of the eggs are particularly crispy. The broken rice could use a bit more flavor, but the accompaniments gave more than enough flavor. Prices are a bit high with inflation relative to what I would normally get in SoCal and such, but the amount of food was satisfactory and of great quality. If I come back, I will NOT take the bus ever again cause I almost didn't make it. I'd drive and rather risk my car but at least I skip the super rundown sidewalk parts of 10th to 12th Ave S and S Jackson St intersection.
This place is always an easy go to spot for a variety of vietnamese food. I always get some kind of soup based food or their com Tam (broken rice) dishes. This time I got their com tam suong bo nuong (broken rice grilled short rib). It was smaller than I remembered. This location might have smaller portions than their Tukwila location. Food came out quick. The beef is well marinated and grilled. I didn't have to use much fish sauce. The beef isn't overcooked and comes off the bone easily.
the Bánh xèo is so good. Stays good while ordering Uber eats. Had a lot of leftovers.
I got the Bún măng vịt (duck noodle soup with bamboo shoot) was quite good. Usually the ones I've had in the past the duck was in the broth, but I really like having it separated on the side with a cabbage salad like this. It was a great portion
