At Com Com Restaurant, we honor this tradition, offering a diverse menu featuring rice in various forms, from fragrant steamed rice to crispy fried rice and flavorful rice noodle dishes.

Which Essential Ingredients and Tools Define Vietnamese Street Food?

Fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, and basil are the soul of Vietnamese cuisine, lending their aromatic complexity to every dish. Fish sauce, the salty, umami-rich condiment, is another essential ingredient, adding depth and a distinctly savory note. At Com Com Restaurant, we source the finest ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a burst of authentic Vietnamese flavor. From the fragrant lemongrass and ginger to the fiery chilies and tangy lime, our dishes are a testament to the vibrant palette of Vietnamese cooking. Key tools include the wok, essential for stir-fries and creating that smoky “wok hei” flavor, and the traditional phở pot, used for simmering the flavorful broth for hours.
