Com Tam #9 - Near Northwest

It was the weekend and I just wanted some Vietnamese food. My boyfriend and I came here to try their food since we were also going to go to the market in the same plaza. When we came in, it wasn't too busy but there were a few guests sitting and eating or finishing up their meal. We sat down at a table and the waiter provided us menus once we picked a table. He gave us some time to look over the menu and then came back to take our order. I ordered Mi Bo Kho and my boyfriend ordered Com Tam with beef. We also asked for waters. We also ordered spring rolls for appetizers. However, our food came out before our spring rolls came out. The spring rolls were alright, mostly filled with noodles instead of meat but still good. The Mi Bo Kho was on the sweeter side, and it barely had any meat in it. There were probably only 5 small chuncks of meat which was disappointing. My boyfriend said his food was alright. He has had better but the meat was flavourful. The rice was alittle dry so using the fish sauce definitely helped and he had to ask for more. The utensils weren't originally provided to us until the waiter saw my boyfriend lift up his bowl of soup to drink it then he came over to provide a spoon to him. But by that time he was done with his meal so he declined the spoon. I might come back but try something else on the menu instead. Pricing isn't too bad and it's got alot of space for groups of 6+ to sit together. It can get loud because there's an echo in the restaurant.

First time eating here Friday food was amazingVegetarian options: Love the options

I highly recommend this place. We have become regular customers to the point that they know what we want and they know us my name. The food is delicious, very fresh. The service is very attentive and caring. This is one of many reasons why we come back.

I highly recommend their banh mi! Their banh mi Dac Biet/thap cam is high quality and reasonably priced. I feel like a lot of Vietnamese restaurants have Americanized their sandwiches and prices are too high once they do that but Com Tam 9 gets it right with the authenticity with a fair price. The aroma of the pho and other dishes will bring me back for another visit.

Love this place, perfect stop before getting your groceries! Their dry noodles are just like what they have in vn!
