Com Vietnamese is a brand spanking new restaurant in Richmond on the corner of Lansdowne and Alderbridge Way. The 2 story high loft ceiling restaurant is beautiful, bright and well designed by Ste. Marie Design Studio Glasfurd & Walker, who worked together on Coquille, Kissa Tanto, Botanist, Savio Volpe - just to name a few. This modern looking Vietnamese restaurant menu focuses on traditional Southern Vietnamese cuisine - just how Grandma makes it. And in case you were wondering, the name Co'm means "rice" in Vietnamese.

The 75 seater restaurant features tables, booth seats, and bar area with an impressive cocktail program. Come summer 2019 you will also be able to enjoy their 20 seat patio.

Where To Park?

There are plenty of free parking in the Tempo Building off Alderbridge, street parking on Cedarbridge Way, and paid parking at the ORA Building around the corner.

Chả Giò (Pork Spring Roll) 8.50: This crispy spring roll is made with minced pork, carrot, taro, black mushrooms and glass noodles. Served with lettuce, fresh mixed herbs and nước mắm.

Seafood Spring Roll 4.25 / piece: Filled with crabmeat, shrimp, carrot, onion and mayonnaise. This reminds me a lot of a dim sum item we used to order a lot as kids.

Papaya Salad 16.50: This is one of my favourite Vietnamese salads. Loaded with fresh papaya, carrot, lemon, onion, mixed herbs, prawn, pork loin, peanuts and house made dressing. Tangy and sweet with lots of different textures for a great mouth feel.

Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Noodles) 14.75: Sliced beef brisket and pork with thick vermicelli in spicy beef broth. When the broth arrives it isn't very spicy and is fairly light, but you can request for extra red satay sauce to customize to the heat level of your preference.

Bánh Xèo Sàigòn (Vietnamese Crepe) 19: This crispy rice flour pancake filled with sliced pork, prawns, green onion and bean sprouts is great for sharing but I'd say I can have it all to myself. It has a nice crispy char and a soft center. Served with lettuce, mixed herbs and nước mắm.

Too bad I couldn't stay for dessert and had to a meeting to run to, but I'm looking forward to coming back to Com Vietnamese for their Sharing Mains available both lunch and dinner services. Their Canh Chả Cá (Fish Cake Soup) is make in-house and I'm absolutely dying to try to Cá Kho Tộ caramelized mackerel with fish sauce, pork belly and bird’s eye chilies.

By the way, they have Slow Cooked Bird Nest with Lotus Seed and Coconut Ice Cream with Avocado!!!

Walk-ins only; No reservations.

Thank You, Com Vietnamese for having me as a guest!
