Cơm tấm Nguyễn Văn Cừ — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

If there’s a 0 star i would give it that.

This place is soooooooooo overrated. We have been seeing a lot of people eating here and we can smell good bbq from their grill whenever we pass by, but those are not enough to justify the price of 180k per plate of com tam.

The porkchop/rib is not as soft, making it difficult to get off the bone. The rice serving is too small and oily. Honestly, there is nothing outstanding about the food here that will make me pay 180k for a comtam plate all over again.

That doesn’t end there. The waiting time is 30 mins ++. You also have to sit “like a family” with strangers which for me is quite uncomfortable (sorry, but most, if not all, places will allow you to sit across from your friend/partner). This is for the existing customers to make space for others to have a seat. The guy in this eatery forced us to move spaces perpendicular to my partner which is awkward. We cant even choose a seating where we can eat comfortably, they dictated as to how and where will we seat. To me, that is such a rude behavior.

The atmosphere is very noisy, shouting here and there.

They cant even provide a clean bag/plastic bag for takeaway.

PLEASE DON’T GO TO THIS SHOP AND SPEND 180k FOR 1 PLATE OF COM TAM WHICH YOU CAN GET AT A MUCH CHEAPER PRICE SOMEWHERE ELSE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET YOUR MONEY’S WORTH SOME PLACE MORE DECENT WITH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME WE WILL EVER SET FOOT IN THIS PLACE, I HIGHLY SUGGEST TO AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE POPULARITY OR THE CUSTOMER TRAFFIC YOU’LL SEE OUTSIDE - IT IS...

The most expensive 😱😱😱but yet the tastiest cơm tấm 😋😋😋here in the city. My opinion for a dish of delicious cơm tấm is that they have to be cooked to order, they should be grilled after getting the order from the customers, and then the customers can enjoy a soft and juicy piece of meat… And this is the way the restaurant prepares it. However, you need to queue to go in and then you need to wait for the staff to allocate seat for you and then you need to wait “25” minutes for the order. The T-bone sized spare ribs (not normal pork chop) portion is big and it is succulent as said they keep grilling them for the continuous order. They charge 5k for the iced tea but they provide you with a pot of tea to refill, not bad. As for the environment, please don’t expect anything as it is full of customers all the time. Everyone is sitting right next to each other elbow to elbow. As for the service, sorry to say no service at all, they will take your order and won’t care no matter what you ask later, I asked for extra mỡ hành and the staff didn’t respond at all. Most customers are tourists form Korea and China, or people comes from other districts. Not much local residents around like other cơm tấm restaurants VND160000 for a dish of spare ribs rice – you need to try and judge yourself whether it...
