ABQ’s Vietnamese Food Is a True Hidden Treasure! 🍚✨

If there’s one thing I highly recommend in Albuquerque, it’s the Vietnamese food! I would come back to ABQ just for the clay pot rice and sesame balls — no joke. Seriously, it’s that good! 🏮 Coda Bakery is an absolute hidden gem 💎— no fancy signs, no hype, just honest-to-goodness authentic flavors and freshly made treats that taste like home. Their sesame balls (known as bánh cam or bánh rán), filled with sweet mung bean paste and shredded coconut, are pure bliss 🤤🍡. I’ve been twice, and both times I got them straight out of the fryer — still warm, with that perfect crispy-yet-chewy shell giving way to a soft, fragrant, slightly sweet filling. Heaven in a bite! And let’s not forget their cơm gà (clay pot chicken rice) — savory, tender chicken with crispy-edged rice cooked right in the clay pot… it’s comfort in a bowl 🍲❤️. It’s not just a snack… it’s a memory. This place stole my heart — and my stomach — and I’m already dreaming of my next visit. 💛 If you’re in ABQ, skip the usual chains and follow the amazing aroma to Coda. Your taste buds will thank you! 👃🌀🧠 Don’t sleep on this spot — it’s a vibe, a flavor, and an experience all wrapped in one warm, delicious package 📦🌯. #ABQFood #VietnameseFood #HiddenGems #AlbuquerqueEats #CodaBakery #FoodTravel #LocalFlavor #MustTryABQ #ComGa #SesameBalls #StreetFoodLove
