The Steamed Rice Cake with Vietnamese Sausage & Raw Pork Meat consisted of a plate of short pieces of steamed rice cakes, two types of Vietnamese sausage (a red one and a tan colour) with lettuce, green onions, and garlic. It’s best to eat this dish hot before the steamed rice cakes start sticking to each other.
Pho Com 99 is the Vietnamese restaurant that replaced Pho Mi 99. Don't know what else has changed beside the name, but based on reviews and word of mouth, the management has also changed. Not sure what the place was like before, but this new restaurant is pretty damn good. Restaurant is spacious, nice, and clean. Menu is absolutely HUGE and has a wide variety of Thai, Vietnamese, and even some Chinese.
Appetizers here are pretty solid, as the fresh rolls, fried spring rolls, shrimp on sugar cane, and beef with french bread are excellent. The french bread with beef can be a meal on its own for only like $5. Crusty french baguette with a rich beef stew...drool...
I get the pho here sometimes, and it's not as good as other places, but I LOVE the other items they have on the menu. The rice dishes are second to none as they give plenty of meat and a good portion of rice. I enjoy the variety they have here as you can get fried fish, fried chicken, grilled chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, and others. The vermicelli dishes are incredible too and they use the thin noodles, which is what I prefer and find more nostalgic (growing up Viet on my dad's side).
The place can get pretty packed for lunch and for good reason. Service is quick and can be funny and nice one day and a little rude the next, but I don't mind at all. The food is good, comes out quick, and prices are good. Despite the many pho restaurants in the area, I will definitely make this a regular spot.
My family and I have been coming here for years. It is consistently one of the best Vietnamese restaraunts that we always return to. Everything we have tried on their menu has been delicious and very fresh. The staff is great and always entertain our 2 year old and the owner is like an old friend, always with a smile and stops by the table to chat. It's not a trendy place, but they have gone through a recent renovation which has made it bright and comfy and clean inside. The menu is quite extensive and can seem a little daunting as there is so much to pick from but as I said, everything we've ever tried has been great. If you've never had Pho before, my recommendation is to try the Pho Tai (Pho with medium rare beef). It is delicious. My wife loves the vegetarian soup and she's not even vegetarian. A must have is both the fresh rolls with shrimp and pork and the crispy rolls. Overall a great restaurant and will continue to return to it.
