I used it for lunch on a regular day. Just before opening, there were a lot of female customers in pairs. Reservations are available, so I recommend making a phone reservation if you have a schedule. The lunch menu has a wide variety of options, which is nice. I think Vietnamese cuisine is quite different between the north and south. On this day, I was not in the mood for meat or chicken, so I had noodles with shrimp. The soup was very delicious, and the meat over rice was just right, not too strong in flavor. Also, they served the cilantro separately! I felt it was considerate or kind. The portion size and taste for the location are excellent value for money. I really liked the taste and atmosphere, so I would like to visit again.

A well-known restaurant around Karasuma that serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I have been here several times and each dish is delicious, creating a travel-like atmosphere. The large omelette is actually thin and crispy, filled with plenty of vegetables like bean sprouts, with a tempting aroma of coconut oil. Lunch is famous here, but personally, I also recommend coming for dinner.

Lunchtime is crowded but they have a wide variety of authentic and popular menu options. If you go at a different time, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch! The charcoal-grilled dishes may take 20-30 minutes to prepare, which is a bit slow. I wish they would do some preparation in advance... I really hope for it.

Thanks to it being just before the Obon holiday, I was able to get a seat easily even during lunchtime. The soup, made with a chicken broth base and flavored with nutmeg and cinnamon, had a rich taste. The pho slid down my throat smoothly. Herbs and lemon were also provided as condiments, adding a nice touch. The mini bowl of sweet and savory simmered pork with pickled mustard greens, and a salad on the side made for a satisfying lunch.

Women's favorite restaurant for sure. I always come here for lunch. I highly recommend the Bun Bo for those who like spicy food. The side dish that comes with it, like the spring rolls, is also delicious. I suggest ordering the fresh spring rolls as a standalone appetizer. It's a great starter.

I was thinking of having Thai food, but ended up wandering into this place. Their Vietnamese cuisine is perfect for a hot day like today. I love their Bun Bo soup for lunch. The spicy soup with lemon and cilantro has a unique Asian flavor. The thick noodles are a great match. The minced meat on rice was also delicious, and I left feeling satisfied. The place was full of people having solo lunches, and the atmosphere was cozy.

At lunchtime, there was a line of housewives, so I wondered what kind of taste this place had. This day, I was able to enter smoothly as it was a little past lunchtime. The lunch menu includes not only the familiar pho, but also various dishes for 1000 yen. It was fun to read the descriptions carefully and learn about the differences. I chose a Bun Cha lunch, which is centered around thin rice noodles. The staff told me to put each dish in this bowl, pour the broth over it, and enjoy. There were grilled meatballs, spring rolls, fried foods, and rice noodles with herbs (perilla, coriander, mint) mixed in, and the sweet and sour broth with herbs was a nice accent. The taste and aroma brought back memories of when I traveled to Vietnam a long time ago. Peanuts, fried garlic, and lemon could also be added as condiments, allowing me to enjoy the change in flavor.

I used it for lunch on a day off. The location is a convenient place in the middle of the town, about a 5-minute walk from Shijo Subway Station. I have used it for lunch two times before, but it was always Bun Cha, so this time, despite the very hot weather, I ordered Pho, and the spiciest Bun Bo was ordered. The food was served in about 5 minutes after ordering. Bun Bo contains red chili peppers, but it didn't look too spicy at first glance. When I took a sip of the soup, the beef bone broth came out first. Then came the spiciness of the chili peppers. However, the spiciness was extremely mild compared to Sichuan cuisine, for example. It was a soup that you could drink up. The noodles were Pho, I suppose? The shape of the noodles was not the round type that breaks apart easily like traditional Pho. It was a bit in between Udon and Pho. The ingredients included plenty of beef tendons and Vietnamese ham. Moreover, the meat still had a strong umami taste after the broth came out. Other than the noodles, there was pork belly rice and shrimp crackers in the salad. The pork belly was a bit dry and tough, but it tasted delicious when I poured the soup over it. The price was 1080 yen. It used to be in the 900 yen range, so the price has gone up, but it is still affordable and easy to use. Due to its popularity and location, there may be a line at certain times, but I think there won't be much of a line if you go at the opening time. Currently, it is rated as the top Vietnamese restaurant in Kyoto, considering the quality of the food, price, location, and atmosphere, it is understandable. I don't think you will be disappointed, so why not try it out once?

The set meal of pho and pork belly rice with salad was 1000 yen. The pho had delicious broth and I ended up drinking the soup too. The pork belly rice was made with Thai rice, so it was fluffy and the pork belly was a bit dry. I didn't need the rice, so I wish they would increase the amount of pho instead. The restaurant is small, but both the first and second floors were full.

Visited around 7:00 pm on Saturday. It was a challenging time to find a place to eat in the touristy area of Kyoto, but I managed to get a table at a restaurant near Shijo where there were plenty of options. I started with a 333 beer and a mango juice for a toast. The beer was served in a can and the juice in a glass, both were ice-cold and refreshing after a day of sightseeing. I ordered a salad with shrimp crackers, Banh Xeo, and a five-ingredient fried rice. The salad was crispy and served with shrimp crackers on top. The fried rice was flavorful with various ingredients like pork, egg, green beans, and carrots. It was served with a soy sauce bottle for adjusting the flavor to your liking. My favorite dish was the Banh Xeo, a Vietnamese-style pancake filled with pork, bean sprouts, and served with lettuce, herbs, and cilantro for wrapping. It was satisfying and had a variety of flavors. I also had a carafe of white wine, which paired well with the vegetable-based dishes. The total bill came to 6,380 yen. The restaurant offers a wide variety of easy-to-eat Vietnamese dishes that are enjoyable for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommended.

A few minutes walk from Karasuma Station. Today, I had lunch here. The interior has table seating and tatami seating, and the main menu is Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the Com Ga lunch set. Let's dig in! This is the one with bone-in fried chicken on top of jasmine rice. The chicken is freshly fried and has a satisfying texture. The spiciness is not too strong, so even beginners to this type of cuisine can enjoy it. However, I felt like it was a bit lacking in quantity. Overall, it was a delicious meal! There are a variety of noodle and rice dishes to choose from, so you can mix and match depending on your mood.

At 2:00 pm on a regular day. The restaurant seemed to have 8 seats on the first floor and a second floor. When we arrived, there were only 3 people, but later about 4 more people came in. We ordered the pho for 1000 yen and the chai for 450 yen. The soup was light but had a strong umami and salty flavor. It was said to contain cinnamon and nutmeg, but I didn't really taste them. What stood out was the complex and refreshing aroma, not a simple scent. The occasional cilantro was also good. The chicken was tender and the soup also had bean sprouts and onions. The noodles were thin and transparent flat noodles. They looked like macaroni and broke apart easily when picked up with chopsticks. The taste was surprisingly strong and the texture was smooth and chewy. The only downside was that the thin noodles clumped together, making it difficult to slurp them up smoothly. The rice was basmati rice, light and subtly flavored, but soaked in the sauce from the toppings, making it fragrant and delicious. The toppings were sweet and savory pork and daikon radish. It looked like a soy sauce stew, but the taste was a gentle spiced flavor. The combination of the sweetness of the fat and the umami of the meat made it quite delicious. The menu mentioned pickled mustard greens, but I didn't see any. However, it didn't bother me because the food was so delicious. The chai was made with coconut, tapioca, and rice balls. The syrup-like sweetness and the smooth coconut flavor were delicious. It was a dessert that changed the direction from the previous complex spices, making it stand out even more. It was my first time trying pho, and I really liked it. I'm not sure if the food at this restaurant is delicious or if it just fits my personal taste, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I took my junior colleague to try Vietnamese cuisine for the first time. I ate all the coriander, but they loved all the dishes. They were all delicious with a sweet and savory flavor. The standout dish this time was the Mee Sao - chicken on rice. The combination of jasmine rice and sweet and savory sauce was really good.

Comランチ was 1400 yen. It included spring rolls (fried + fresh), lotus stem salad, and Bun Bo Hue. It was my first time trying Bun Bo Hue, which is described as spicy beef udon. It came with chili-like seasoning and lemon on the side. I added everything and took a bite, but the chili-like seasoning was so spicy that it was painful. Actually, it hurt. It's better to just enjoy the broth without biting into the seasoning. It was delicious.

Friday 19:20 To Mr. Comgon Banh Cuon 790 yen La Vong 980 yen Pho Ga 950 yen Com Ga 950 yen Banh Xeo 420 yen My daughter was very pleased and said it was delicious. Well, it must be tasty (smug face). Even though she doesn't like vegetables, she reluctantly ate the steamed vegetables from La Vong. It was the first time she ordered dessert. Overall, the food was really delicious. Thank you for the meal. Sunday 11:50 Lunch visit with my daughter Seated on the second floor tatami room Com lunch 1,400 yen x 2 Pho Ga Banh Cuon My daughter insisted on wanting to eat fried spring rolls, so we visited for lunch. The course looked very colorful and we were very satisfied. Delicious for both lunch and dinner. We will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The highlight of the evening menu is the Kaeng Chuet. It comes in a generous pot, with a taste that is hard to describe but is sour, sweet, and reminiscent of lemongrass. It is simply delicious! The ingredients include tomatoes, celery, and plenty of fish. I always order this dish every time. I also tried a dish with a high level of difficulty, which was hard to eat. The lunch menu is also amazing, and I keep coming back to this restaurant.

I ordered the lunch set with a mini salad, which was priced at 950 yen each. I chose the Forger (chicken ramen) and salami rice bowl with a mini salad. I also added a spring roll for 370 yen. The spring roll came with miso sauce and a fish sauce-based sauce, allowing me to enjoy both flavors. It had several plump shrimp inside, so I was satisfied. The Forger had plenty of chicken and noodles. The cilantro was served on the side, so it's okay to leave it out if you don't like it. The salad even came with shrimp crackers, giving it a vacation vibe. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal for a total of 1,320 yen.

I arrived a little earlier than 17:30, but there were already two groups on the first floor. It was busy even though it was Sunday. - Chicken Coconut Curry with Baguette for 950 yen: It came with two pieces of bone-in chicken. It wasn't spicy, so it was delicious. - Banh Flan for 420 yen: It was a steamed pudding with ice on top, which was surprising. It felt like a dessert from a hot country. The caramel sauce was also delicious.

Today I had a heavy workload in the morning, so I came to the Vietnamese restaurant Com Ga. It's located next to Barley's. I haven't had Vietnamese food since I visited Vietnam over 10 years ago. I remember in Hanoi, I had a delicious soup with pig brain and ended up having seconds. I ordered the Pho Ga lunch set. The Pho soup was a bit salty, but tasted great with herbs and a squeeze of fresh lemon. The grilled pork and pickled mustard greens with rice in the set were even more delicious! It had nuts mixed in, and honestly, I preferred it over the Pho. Sometimes, having lunches like this is nice. Thank you for the meal!

I have been curious about this Vietnamese restaurant for a while, as it always seems to be full of customers. There are many lunch menu options for less than 1000 yen, so I had a hard time deciding. It had been a few years since I last had Vietnamese food, so I couldn't really understand the menu names, but there were detailed explanations on the menu which helped me imagine what the dishes would be like. I decided to go with "Bun Tit Nuoc" for 980 yen, as I was quite hungry and felt like having some meat. It was described as grilled pork on top of rice vermicelli. It was mentioned that it would take about 15 minutes to prepare, while other noodle dishes would be served about 5 minutes after ordering. In the end, my dish arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. The staff explained how to eat the dish to me. I was instructed to squeeze lemon over the noodles, sprinkle onions and nuts, and then add the sauce. I mentioned that I didn't like cilantro, so they kindly left it out (I know, I might get scolded for not liking cilantro at a Vietnamese restaurant, but I'm sorry). The cold and ethnic-smelling noodles were very refreshing and perfect for summer. The noodles were round at the tip, white and smooth like somen noodles, but slightly thicker and softer. They had a nice chewy texture and were easy to cut with a slight bite. What impressed me the most was the pork, especially the fatty parts. The meat itself, the texture, and the seasoning were excellent! Whether eaten warm without dipping in the sauce, or mixed with the cold sauce to enhance the ethnic flavor, it was delicious either way. It also came with pork rice on the side, which was warm and delicious with sweet and savory diced pork on top. I was full after finishing the noodles and rice. Payment is probably cash only (cards may be accepted under certain conditions?). When I entered through the narrow entrance, I was asked if I had a reservation. I said I didn't, and after a brief look at the monitor, I was guided to the second-floor tatami seating area (with sunken kotatsu tables). Everyone seemed busy and rushed, and there were not many smiles in the service (although there were some young staff members who served with a smile!), but the lack of politeness in the service didn't bother me too much.
