The Heart of Com Com: A Story of Flavor
Com Com, meaning “rice rice” in Vietnamese, reflects the core of Vietnamese cuisine – the simple yet vital grain that sustains life and accompanies every meal. Our restaurant honours this tradition, using only the finest quality rice to complement our authentic dishes. We believe in using fresh, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, blending them with traditional Vietnamese spices imported directly from the vibrant markets of Southeast Asia. Just like the street vendors of Vietnam, we prepare each dish with passion and precision, ensuring every bite is an explosion of flavour.

From Market to Table: The Essence of Vietnamese Cuisine
Vietnamese cooking is an art form, a delicate balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter – the five fundamental elements of flavour. Fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and basil are essential, providing a fragrant aroma and refreshing counterpoint to richer ingredients. Fish sauce, the cornerstone of Vietnamese cuisine, adds a unique umami depth. Don’t be intimidated by the exotic spices; they’re the secret to unlocking the authentic taste of Vietnam. From star anise and cinnamon to lemongrass and turmeric, these aromatic wonders transform simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces.

Your Com Com Experience: A Guide to Vietnamese Delights
At Com Com, we offer a diverse menu, reflecting the regional variations of Vietnamese street food. Start with our crispy Nem Ran (spring rolls) – a perfect introduction to the symphony of textures and flavours. For a lighter option, try the refreshing Goi Cuon (summer rolls) filled with fresh herbs and vermicelli noodles. Craving something more substantial? Dive into a bowl of steaming Pho, the quintessential Vietnamese noodle soup. Its rich broth, simmered for hours with aromatic spices and tender beef or chicken, is a comforting hug in a bowl. Don’t forget to explore our chef’s specials, like the Cha Ca Ha Noi (turmeric fish) or the fragrant Vit Nuong (grilled duck).

Nourishment from the Street: Health Benefits of Vietnamese Cuisine
Vietnamese food is not just delicious; it’s also incredibly healthy. Fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and minimal use of oil make it a nutritious and balanced choice. The abundance of herbs provides vitamins and antioxidants, while fermented ingredients like fish sauce aid digestion. Come to Com Com and nourish your body and soul.
Pairing Perfection: Drinks and Sides at Com Com
Complement your meal with a refreshing Vietnamese iced coffee, a sweet and creamy treat that perfectly balances the savoury dishes.
