Review Com Tam 68 - Delicious Com Tam Restaurant with Reasonable Prices in Go Vap

Initial Impressions

A few days ago, I happened to pass by Nguyen Van Luong Street in Go Vap District and saw that Com Tam 68 was very crowded. As someone who loves com tam, especially the grilled pork chop with shredded pork skin and Vietnamese pork sausage, I was curious about what made this place so appealing to so many people. So, I decided to stop by and see the quality for myself, and then I wanted to share my actual experience so that everyone can refer to it when looking for a good com tam spot in this area.

Introduction to Com Tam 68

Com Tam 68 is located at 68 Nguyen Van Luong, Ward 17, Go Vap, making it easy to find as it faces a major road with a clear sign. The restaurant’s space is not too large but airy, making it very suitable for those who want a quick, filling, and tasty meal. The restaurant mainly serves traditional com tam dishes in a casual style, and the prices are very reasonable. This is a familiar spot for office workers, students, or anyone in need of a convenient and affordable meal. The restaurant opens from morning until late at night, convenient for all hours.

Detailed Experience When Dining

• **Space and Design**

The restaurant has a moderate area, with mainly simple red plastic tables and chairs, typical of casual dining spots in Saigon. When I arrived, the restaurant was quite clean, with ceiling fans providing a comfortable breeze, especially on hot days. I really liked the lively, friendly, and cozy atmosphere here; it’s not fancy but still creates a comfortable feeling to enjoy a meal.

• **Dishes I Ordered**

I chose the grilled pork chop with shredded pork skin and Vietnamese pork sausage. The rice was served generously, fluffy, and fragrant with the smell of freshly cooked rice. The grilled pork chop was marinated well, evenly cooked, not dry or burnt, and very tasty. The shredded pork skin was chewy and soft, while the pork sausage was delicious and extremely smooth. What I liked most was the dipping fish sauce, which was perfectly balanced-not too salty or bland, with a natural sweetness that was very easy to eat. Additionally, I ordered a soup with zucchini and shrimp, which was light and helped balance the flavors very well. The price for this meal was only about 40-50k, which is very reasonable for a filling meal.

• **Service and Staff**

The staff served quickly, with a friendly attitude, and were enthusiastic in recommending dishes when I asked. Although the restaurant was crowded, the food came out very quickly, with no long wait. I felt a sense of closeness and joy, rather than a rigid “customer is king” attitude, which was very pleasant.

• **Memorable Moments**

While I was eating, a group of young friends entered the restaurant, laughing and chatting, which made the atmosphere even more cheerful. I felt that the restaurant was a place that connected people after a tiring day at work. The staff even shared the special way to prepare the dipping fish sauce of the restaurant, and after hearing it, I found it interesting and wanted to try making it at home.
