    Love this place! Like, I seriously love it. I think about it often. The only thing that stops me from eating there more often is the distance from my home, but it is well worth the drive. I don't even bother looking at the menu. The grape leaves with lamb and the beef with rice. Yum!!! The beef with rice comes with this amazing bowl of liquid goodness. I don't even know what it is. I just pour it over my rice and devour it. I always order water because the portions are so plentiful I don't have room in my greedy belly for any carbonation. C'om is extremely budget friendly. Two entrees and an appetizer will run you under twenty bucks. You can't beat that! Service is great too.

    Co'm is in my work Hood and it never disappoints. The food is always excellent and the price is exceptionally reasonable. You can easily enjoy an exceptional lunch for under $10. During my most recent visit I had the Rice vermicelli with pork and the fried egg roll. It came out fast and had great flavor. The service was very good although the seating was a bit awkward this time around. They had all the tables in the center of the restaurant lined up family style. I have not been to the Dunwoody location so I can't speak to that option but I will continue going to the Chamblee location for the foreseeable future.

    Where to start....the restaurant is simply amazing. The spring rolls are perfect, but the fish sauce is amazing. I am craving Com just thinking of the fish sauce. It is spicy and sweet, best fish sauce I have had anywhere. In fact, best condiment I have ever had. But if you love spring rolls, you have to order the flat rice vermicelli with rice paper. You pretty much make your own spring rolls. The servers even tell me that it is the best thing on the menu, and I wholeheartedly agree. It is a gorgeous display of meat and veggies that leaves you stuffed, but feeling good. The meat is seasoned perfectly. I am not a pork guy, but I love their pork because of the seasoning. The shrimp and fish is always good, too. If you do not like spring rolls, go for the com tam dac biet (sp) with your choice of meat. You cannot really go wrong with much on their menu. Ask the server for a recommendation, too. At dinner, you get free mini chocolate coffee cakes as dessert that are great, as well. Best Vietnamese place I have had.

    Our server was very friendly and recommended some dishes from the menu. We loved the Co'm spring rolls and mango salad. The vermicelli rice dishes were large portions and still tasted light. Came with a sald with julienne veggies. Everything tasted fresh and tasty. They also gave us complimentary dessert that was yummy banana-esq vanilla. This place was packed, which is a good sign. We will definitely be back!

    On a recommendation from a colleague, I took the Fam to this place for lunch oneday and we are really glad we did. The food was great- light but so flavorful with platedulls of herbs to combine with our lamb dish. The place was very busy. We like it that way since the kids can get a bit rowdy. The service was great and the price was right.

    Well, there is not much else I can say about this place that hasn't already been said! The food was deliciously seasoned, the service was good, and along with a pipping cup of hot loose leaf tea and my yelper lunch date it couldn't have gotten any better. The house salad was unbelievable, and I'm not one for fruit in my salad at all. The grape leaves stuffed with beef were also quite yummy! I ordered the special which came with grilled chicken, a fish cake (which I wasn't too fond of), assorted veggies, a fried egg, over a mound of rice accompanied by some sort of sweet sauce. This was my second time sampling Vietnamese food, and I can say that I've completely fallen head over heals for it! Fresh herbs, the tangy sweet and sour combination's, a definite explosion of flavors! I can't wait for my next trip!

    The lettuce wraps - Flat Rice Vermicelli - were amazing! The fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, and basil) were very fresh. The proportions were more than adequate with some food to take home. We also had a few of the spring rolls for appetizers, and all were great. The restaurant is both excellent and a great value for the cost. A must visit!!!

    Coming from California, I have pretty high standards for a vietnamese restaurant. I must say, after yelping this place, the food was decent! The rice plates are good and they even gave us a free dessert! However, they neglect to tell you that the grilled fish will take 45 minutes to cook. Gee whiz! I was starving n couldn't wait that long! So I ordered a com suong nuong, and a grilled fish spring roll. Both delish!! Other than that food was good n prices are decent. Very clean restaurant n classy decor. If I stop by in atlanta again, I definitely would come back! Would have given 5 stars but my grilled catfish took too long to make n they didn't seem enthusiastic about preparing it.

    this place changed my view of vietnamese food. i was a staunch 'hater' of it before i went here, because i had tried pho and found it utterly disgusting. yes, i know. went here for dinner last week, had the vermicelli and shrimp. i thought i was in heaven. and now i want to eat that again. RIGHT. NOW! also had the grape leaves appetizer with chicken. also very good. can't wait to return. i find myself craving vietnamese food (ok, this dish in particular) daily! GO!

    After a few minutes of arguing, I gave this place 3 stars. My brother urged me to be fair when reviewing this place after I reminded him that I have eaten Vietnamese food in Houston, TX and Orange County, CA. We ordered the papaya salad and I think it wasn't good. There wasn't enough papaya in the salad. I think they substituted some of the papaya with cucumber peel. If the plate is called papaya salad, I feel that there should be a lot of papaya in the salad. Maybe after many years of eating Laos papaya salad, I expect to see a higher ratio of papaya. The springroll with pork was very good. The favor was just right. The shrimp eggroll was terrific. I haven't had the shrimp ones in ages. I broke my rule on eating out at restaurants. Always order the dish if it appears in the name of the business. Com, meaning rice... I ended ordering the bun nem nuong. I didn't like it. The nem tasted like plain ground pork with some sweetness to it. The noodles was overcooked. My dinner mates ordered their rice dish special and they raved about. They said it was a "flavor boom in your mouth." We see pictures of complimentary desserts but we didn't get any desserts served to us.

    Just ate the MOST DELICIOUS Vietnamese grilled beef and shrimp rice wraps and vermicelli cakes at Co'm Grill on BuHi. Their green papaya salad and bang bang lamb wonton (smokey chili gooness) was killer too. To top it off, they gave us this complimentary caramel coffee mousse cake with jackfruit and vanilla ice cream, the perfect end bite. As you can see, scarfed it all down so no photos. Bliss!

    COM is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants (along with Phoenix Noodle House). I've been to this location several times, and the Dunwoody one just a couple of times. The Buford Hwy location is more casual, and the prices are lower. Service has always been great, and they don't fuss at all if you want to do separate checks. I came here for lunch with three friends who'd never been. You know ... I just realized I forgot to ask if they liked their food :) I got the Com Goi salad again, which is their signature salad. I LOVE the freshness & the flavors. The salad has chopped green mango, green papaya, Fuji apples, veggies, herbs, and your choice of meat. I picked salmon this time. I like COM because for all their dishes, they offer fish as one of their meat choices -- not just your standard choice of pork, beef, or chicken. When my dish first arrived, it looked disappointingly (or deceivingly) small. But it turned out to be just the right amount. The salad was just $6.95. Most of the dishes are less than $10. I love COM.

    The first couple of times I went to Com I LOVED it, but it's slowly starting to move down on my favorite Vietnamese restaurants list. We got the usual, grilled beef with flat vermicelli noodles and rice paper wraps. It was flavorful, but not amazing. I think the fish sauce with chili pepper sauce was too fishy? After the meal I felt like I might never get the aftertaste of fish out of my mouth. Yuck. I was even burping fish, gross I know. The shrimp salad is good, but too much cilantro for me. The boys had the fragrant rice with grilled pork, which they both seemed to enjoy. They almost licked the plates clean. Overall good, but not great. Maybe I'll try the fragrant rice dish next time and skip the fish sauce...

    If I only had 5 meals left on this earth, 2 of them would be at C'om. Yum. I've been a regular to this place for about 4 years (admittedly usually more for takeout than dine-in), despite it not being especially close to home or work. There's something comforting about the subtle and fresh Vietnamese favors. 4/5 times I order the lamb bun (vermicelli rice noodles with lettuce, carrots, zucchini, basil, mint, fresh grilled lamb and a sweet/sour broth poured over the top). Sometimes I order the chicken lettuce wraps. If you can't already tell from the ingredients, Vietnamese is great for the health conscious - lots of veggies and minimal oils. The entrees are also reasonably priced and good sized. Do yourself a favor and get some grub from C'om! Also - if you are new to Buford Hwy eating, don't be scared. This place is safe and clean (like many of the other interesting spots along this trek)!

  • Caroline M.

    Didn't know what to expect from reading previous reviews. Cleaner, trendier, more expensive then what I'm used to. Dance (Trance?) music playing in the background. Very attentive service. The Pho broth was tasty. Egg rolls- not recommended. Pork with rice and meatloaf plate was good. Everything was nice, just seems like something is lacking from the dirty hole restaurants with rude service in San Diego, or Orange County Ca. That's the place to go for really good Vietnamese food, so it's hard to compare.

  • Shadowy W.

    This place is clean (inspection score is 93 - A) and kinda cute, but the food is not authentic. I'm as Vietnamese as it can get, and I was disappointed with the bowl of pho I had there recently. It was only average: the broth wasn't complex in flavor; the beef was slightly chewy (not very tender); the herbs were lacking (they didn't give you rice paddy herb or saw tooth herb). I was not happy when they said they didn't have roasted chili oil (sa-te) to accompany pho. My boyfriend got ca-ri ga`, which I tasted a little bit. It was good, but too sweet and oily. They should offer it with banh mi as well, instead of just co*m and bu'n. The selection is quite limited, with no noodle soups other than pho. I had a major craving for bun rieu and hu tieu Nam Vang, but these were not on the menu. :( These people seem to cater to American customers. I would go somewhere else for authentic Vietnamese dishes.

    After hearing about this place for so long, but being somewhat hesitant to venture to anywhere on Buford Highway without my Yelp experts, Alain and Zack finally gave me a great opportunity to try it out. With lots of advice, I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp, and the grape-leaf wrapped duck bun. Emily and Leah were also nice enough to share some of their green papaya salad. Maybe it was because it was so late or because there's no flavor I love more in meat than grilled smokiness, but everything was absolutely scrumptious. Having charcoal-grilled shrimp in a spring roll kicks the flavor up a huge step. I'm honestly not sure I'll be able to eat them the regular way now. The papaya salad was so fresh, and fresh really is the best word because it's the only word that encompasses all the sensory inputs that this dish delivers in texture, flavor, and healthiness. And then there was the smoky duck. I'm not a huge fan of dolmades, which is what popped into my head when I read grape leave wrapped, but this was nothing like this. The smokiness of the meat was perfect. The textures of the rice vermicelli with julienne vegetables was the perfect compliment, and once I doused the whole thing with the chili sauce, it made for a filling dish that didn't leave me filled with guilt. The place is small in a very cozy way. They weren't really sure how to handle our large group, so it took a while to get situated, but it once settled, the service was good. They brought us tiny chocolate mocha cake bites - just a little something sweet to balance all the smoke and spice. They easily separated our checks at the register. Now that this is so much closer to our new place, and that I've had the experts show me the ropes, I'm very much looking forward to taking Jimmy and becoming a regular.

    Warning! They do not make PHO. I was shocked but ordered a delicious rice dish anyway. The waiter said because there's so many other restaurants that make pho, there's no need. I guess. Their walls are decorated with awards, newspaper clippings and magazine articles - featuring their restaurant. It was very good. Wish I lived in the area so I could go back and try more dishes.

    I can't find anything negative to say about this place. Had the spring rolls for an appetizer. Very fresh and crisp. I had the rice and flounder, my daughter the grilled chicken and rice, and my friend had a pork dish. Everything tasted fresh, healthy and great. We cleaned our plates. Love the fish vinaigrette. Had a tasty complimentary dessert to top it off. Can't wait to go again.

  • Kathleen M.

    Switched it up this time and tried the fragrant rice. It was a gamble considering how much I love their bun, but it certainly paid off. While the meat and veggies were as delicious as you'd expect from this place, it was the rice that blew me away. So incredibly flavorful, I could have eaten it plain (although the meat and veggie are a very, very welcome addition). I mean, it's just rice, I don't know what they did to it, but I'm pretty sure it involved sprinkles of spice from heaven. And the little desserts they provide free of charge at the end of each meal really hit my glee button.

  • Jess P.

    Tasty food - flavor explosion! We got the grape leaves appetizer with duck. Yum! I got the C'om Lamb, which was excellent. Plenty of food and came with a sweet and sour sauce on the side. The rice was seasoned and delicious. And they give you a free dessert at the end. I'll definitely be back!

    Oh my. I didn't even realize this place was tucked away over here, but I'm so glad it became the Mother's Day spot for my family. Everything was delicious, fresh, savory, packed with flavor, packed with a punch without being overly spicy... it was a dream come true. I'm normally the person loathing grilled meat, but they manage to keep it tender and moist here. Fish flaked apart and melted like butter in my mouth while the chicken easily fell apart and soaked up the flavors from the curry broth. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly, and the "salad" that is mixed in under the bowl added a little something special to the entire dish. Even the sauce to mix in the bowl melded the flavors together well. Co'm knows all the pieces of the puzzle and exactly how they fit together - still shocked I had never been here until last weekend. As the queen of leftovers, I have to add that the leftovers cooked up beautifully and had just as much flavor as the day before. YUM. Service was great. They even turned down the music for us when it became too loud. Super sweet and cracking jokes when appropriate... I really have a soft spot for incredible service, and Co'm delivers on that front too. My only "gripe" is that it's a tiny spot so conversations can easily be a shouting match, but the key to solving the problem is to come on off-peak hours. Can't wait to come back!

    I love Co'm - it is so delicious! Definitely one of the better Viet restaurants in Atlanta (they don't have pho though) and this from a Vietnamese-American that's been back to the motherland and knows her Viet food. Newcomers must try the grape leaf appetizer. I honestly can't recommend just one thing, everything was simply delicious! The meat is perfectly grilled and it goes so well with the rice and the vermicelli. The decor of the restaurant is pretty nice too! Tôi mn n cm!

    Oh, yum! What is it about an unsuspecting hole in the wall on Buford Hwy that makes this place even more desirable? It's like we're all in on this little secret that a lot of people have yet to discover. Go Buford Hwy! Back to the topic, a couple of friends suggested Co'm for our usual meet-up every month. The husband and I got lost at first (it's tucked behind a gas station), but found it pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and the server was super attentive. We had a lamb appetizer that was great. For an entree, I ordered the chicken curry, and it was awesome. The portions are very generous; I couldn't eat half of mine. The best part? They gave us free dessert. Yes, even though I couldn't finish my plate, I have a separate stomach when it comes to sweets. Did I mention how reasonable the prices are? Wow. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and take a little trip up Buford Hwy. You won't be disappointed!

    Let me start by saying that Vietnamese food is one of my favorites, so I was very excited to try Co'm. I have had my fair share of it here in Atlanta since I work on Buford Hwy, and I think Co'm is one of the best places to go. I love all of their different Bun Thit (vermicelli noodle bowl) options, especially the bowl topped with the stuffed grape leaves. On top of their food, their staff is particularly friendly, and you will be greeted with a huge smile. You may also be given a free tea or a fantastic dessert, depending on the day. This is a good place to start for those new to Vietnamese food.

  • Felix H.

    The grilled meats here are sooooooo tasty. I always get the Special Fragrant Rice with either the pork or the beef tenderloin. The chargrilled meats scream delicious cancerous flavor atop a mountain of steamed broken rice, shredded roasted pork, a crab cake, a fried egg, pickled carrots/daikon and who knows what else. It's a ton of ridiculously awesome food for cheap. Despite my obsession with the dish I just described, I have yet to go wrong with anything on the menu. Except the curry dish. I found it to be generic and a friend made a face and said it tasted "like Christmas." The decor is a huge step up from most Asian restaurants on Buford Hwy, but I can't help but think that the portraits of the women hanging on the wall are actually drag queens. If you've ever heard of ladyboys you might know what I mean.

    My family and I have lived in Chicagoland (from the city to the suburbs) all of our lives. I think most people know that our family loves to eat. My brother had recently moved to a suburb of Atlanta. Of course, before my husband and I visited him there, I asked him, "What good places are there to eat?" He informed me that he hadn't found any restaurants that would compare to the Argyle or Chinatown of Chicago. I knew that couldn't be so. I went on trusty Yelp and did some searching for him (and for my own taste buds) and came across the reviews for Co'm Vietnamese Grill. I knew we had to try it. Thank you to all of you wonderful Yelpers, because Co'm Vietnamese Grill did not disappoint! It definitely reminded me of authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered the goi cuon (spring rolls) and it was so yummy. What makes it unique from the other goi cuon is that they used grilled pork tenderloin. We're so used to the traditional pork belly that it was a nice surprise having a different cut of pork. We also tried two different types of bun, one with the grilled pork tenderloin and the other with the ground pork (which really was pork meatballs) and it was heaven! It's all about the fish sauce and the vegetables they use. It was a nice surprise to get the free chocolate/mocha dessert at the end of the meal. Co'm Vietnamese Grill satisfied and surpassed our basic need for tasty food. Next time I visit Atlanta, I'll make sure to stop by again!

  • Belle S.

    My former boss brought me take out food from here for lunch on my first day of work. Meh the pho wasn't so great...mostly lacking flavor and noodles that other Vietnamese places loaded on. Maybe it was because it was to go? Or maybe because it was in the midst of an Atlanta summer and I wasnt thinking straight about ordering pho...as I had flown in from Kenya the night before? Who knows? But what i do know is that i most likely won't be coming here proactively.

    Small restaurant hidden in a plaza itself hard-to-find . Interior is very clean and furnished comfortably. Asian pop music plays in the background. It's mostly a specialty restaurant that focuses on Vietnamese barbecue, which when done right is among my absolute favorite things to eat. I'm happy to report that after several visits this has been very much the case. The meat comes juicy, tender, with nicely charred exterior, and unbelievably mouth-watering aroma. The accompanying sauce is full of flavor but not invasive; the taste note is sophisticated and definitely a cut above what's served in most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Interstingly, the cold spring roll appetizer is dipped in this sauce and not Nuoc Leo (peanut sauce). Run down of entrees I eat there: Rice plates: huge, great pork sausage, rice crushed nicely and smells great Bun: nice touch with scallions and fried shallot (I think) finish, soaks up sauce nicely and my favorite Flat vermicelli plate: do-it-yourself type of deal where meat, veggies, flattened cooked patches of rice vermicelli, sauce, and herbs are all separate and you wrap them up or eat however you like. Messy for me but fun. A little expensive but enough for two. You can ask for rice paper if don't want to use lettuce as wrap, I think. Here I prefer beef over lamb over pork. Haven't tried the whole fried (or grilled) fish or stews yet. I can only surmise those will also put me in taste paradise. Whether you regularly eat Vietnamese food, you should definitely give this place a try.

    Our food here was exceptional. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls (in the translucent wrap), the beef bun with egg roll and the grilled short ribs over rice. Everything was fresh, which was especially important for the spring rolls and the raw veggies that came with our dishes. The shrimp in the spring rolls were grilled, and our beef was very tender and flavorful. It was Christmas day when we were here, and the waiter brought us a complimentary coffee/chocolate cake. I just wanted to mention that to point out the kindness of the folks here. The prices were reasonable, and the service was prompt and friendly as well.

    My fiancee and I dine at, or get takeout from Co'm at least once a week. We love the vermicelli with chicken or beef... and the spring rolls too. Everything from Co'm is incredibly fresh and delicious. We have never been disappointed. The ambiance is very relaxing, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I cannot stress enough how excellent the service is here. We are always acknowledged and/or seated right away upon entering the restaurant. I highly recommend!!

    I've been here so many times dining out with Asian friends new to Atlanta. The rice rolls are great! Very good experience when everybody makes the rice roll together, and easy to keep the conversation going (don't worry, the friendly waiter can show you how. it's super simple)

  • Juliet C.

    time to flex those yelping fingers and starting reviewing again! I usually don't like reviewing places that are overly Yelped. But I LOVE Co'm and just had to share. I've been to Co'm twice. absolutely delicious. it's so unique, I've never had Vietnamese food quite like this before (and I have lived in San Jose, Ca !), and I've also never had grilled meat that tasted quiet like this before- I feel like they use special charcoal or something to get a very unique, flavorful grill taste. As everyone else says, the duck grape leaves appetizer is a must. My mom scarfed these down. For all you non duck eaters, no worries, there's no gamey duck taste. just pure delicious flavor. For the main dish, my favorite is the Beef Vermicelli noodles. You use lettuce wraps to wrap up grilled beef and vermicelli noodles that are matted together (which is very clever because it is easier to wrap this way). Sprinkle in some cilantro, cucumbers and basil leaves, go for quick dunk in the perfectly seasoned fish sauce, and shove in mouth for instant flavor explosion. added plus: free tiramisu for dessert! not even a non dessert eater like me can turn down free tiramisu! downsides: the menu is centered around the grilled meat and fish sauce. So if you aren't a fan of these, this might not be the place for you. Also, although the decor is very classy and nice, the restaurant is located in a very shady looking shopping strip. When I come for dinner, I fear for my hubcaps.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. I've ate at Co'm 4 or 5 times. The last time I ate their I had the Chicken Curry which was amazing. Not a single bad dish comes out of that kitchen I swear.

  • Hannah C.

    Back for round two: Still about the same experience as last time... The Good: I got the famous-not-on-the-menu "Green drink". It tasted like Captain Crunch! Not being a huge cereal fan, I probably won't have the urge to order it again, but it was a nice treat, so be sure to ask for it! I ordered the same thing that I did last time: rice with spare ribs and veggies. I think the rice portion was larger this time b/c I wasn't starving when we left! Yay! Lamb spring rolls are always a must! Super delicious! Cute guy got the flat rice dish where you make your own lettuce wraps. Ok, Co'm get's major bonus points for throwing in a huge plate of lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, and most importantly generous sprigs of fresh basil, cilantro and mint! I stole some from my sweetie! hehehehehe....I'm going to order this next time! Their food is pretty cheap! The total for 4 people was $44.44 (aaaah!...anyone seen the movie "Juon"?! Freaky) I also like how they serve those little slices of delicious cake at the end! :) The Bad: The servers were slightly forgetful (but nice). We didn't get our appetizer until half way through our meal. Whatever, it's all good. The deliciousness made up for it. Plus it was busy, I understand forgetfulness (it's my middle name)! The table was sticky. Ick. I got some sticky mess on my arm b/c the feeding trough wasn't scrubbed well after the previous animals...uh, patrons. Gross. Also, the menu had about half of the selections crossed out with Sharpie. So, I guess I'll have to wait to try the Lemon Juice with Milk drink...pass. The Ug-lay: Man, I got that same damn stomach pain again! So it wasn't my imagination!! My guess is that maybe I'm allergic to one of their spices or something. But you know, I've had this exact problem with certain beloved Mexican restaurants, and I ate there so much that I think I became immune, so I guess the prescription is just more Co'm! Three stars...oh what the hell! 4 Stars!

    It's all true: every rumor, hype, accusation, praise, and superlative aimed at this place. I have nothing to add, except for the following: Com accessed my deeply buried carniwhore. I can't get enough of their meat, son.

    C'om is a gem. The quality of food for the price is excellent. The grape leave wrapped duck bun and the papaya salad with char grilled shrimp are wonderful choices. The service is attentive and the place is dark and cozy. Love it :)

    Gets five stars because of a unique combination of good, sometimes great food, and highly exceptional value. The bang for the buck is unbeatable. Highly affordable but amazing food. Atmosphere is just ok, but they more than make up for it with the food. Service is friendly. We live very close and go all the time. It used to be easy to get in on any day, but now on weekends you may have to wait a few minutes to get seated since it's become pretty popular.

    Solid dining option for Vietnamese in the Perimeter/Dunwoody area. I enjoyed my lunch here. I shared the make your own style wraps, or Banh-Hoi flat rice vermicelli with lamb, and thought it was quite good. I also tried the creamy coconut soup which with chicken which was tasty, but have had better at Thai joints. The standout for me was the Com's seared rare tuna salad which was heavenly with all the shredded fruits (papaya, mango, apple) and happened to be the perfect cool summer lunch on a hot day.

    This place is great. The food is not that expensive for the huge amount you get, I always have leftovers. The meat they use is not the greatest, but I guess its what you would expect for Vietnamese food. Yummy!

    I absolutely love the pork tenderloin bun and spring rolls but was really disappointed by the chicken curry. My instinct said to not order the curry and, as usual, I should have listened but instead took the advice of the waiter. The pork was SO flavorful, smoky from the grill, and worked perfectly over the noodles and lettuce. The same can be said for the spring rolls. Next time, I am ordering two bun dishes. The Vietnamese beer, "33", was nice as well. The free chocolate dessert was a nice touch at the end.

    WOW! Service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I tried the BBQ pork and the shrimp rice dish. I want to know their grilling secret. A friend of mine recommended this place and decided to try it. The mix of meat and vegetables is well balanced and the portions just right. I left with the take out menu.

    Get this fish! Get the fish! All the Vietnamese who come here seem to gravitate toward the whole fried fish with a big platter of greens, basil, and other assorted fragrant leaves. They serve it with rice paper wraps so you can make your own rolls. It is a big whole fish, so only do this if you're a party of four--though I think you can order a half fish, which is fine for two hungry people. Watch out for bones! Also, it takes about 45 minutes, so if you order this dish you should make a reservation and go ahead and tell them you're getting the fish. Honky tip: pretend it is a Vietnamese burrito...you once had to learn about burritos, right? Rice wraps are admittedly a bit more delicate. Com uses a really hearty brand of rice paper, so it doesn't fall apart as easily as others. However, it is easy to let the paper stick to itself and it becomes a sticky mess...try not dipping it in the hot water quite as long as you might be tempted to (it isn't pasta, and doesn't require much time. Remember that you are reconstituting it, not cooking it.) Also this is a whole fish, meaning whole fish: bones, head and tail. This is how the rest of the world eats fish. It is good to feel personally connected with your food; look your dinner right in the eye. Speaking of Mexican food, my wife ordered some kind of a beef tenderloin dish that came on a sizzling iron skillet with onions and red peppers...just like fajitas. It was tender and yummy, but a bit of a disappointment since we were expecting something different. It was a bizarre experience to be in a Buford Hwy Vietnamese restaurant and have a dish that we could have ordered in an insipid Chilli's or Applebee's. We just didn't know any better...it wasn't C'om's fault at all. Other recs: b'un and grape leaf-wrapped appies. The pork and lamb are the most flavorful. I don't know exactly what is in that broth typically served with b'un and other rice noodle varieties, but it is amazing here.

    See the thing is I have a very delicate palate so it can be quite challenging at times. But I've been getting the same thing time and time again - the dish with beef and flat rice that has a side of fresh and very green lettuce, basil, mint, cilantro and some slices of carrot and other veggies. Except the beef keeps getting spicier and spicier that I'm at the point that I can't even eat it. And my friend - who likes spicy food - even thought it was too hot. I went though 3 glasses of water (when I usually barely get through one). And for some reason they never were refilling my friend's water glass (was it because he was male?). I think I may have to stop for a while and meander to some new places on Buford Hwy.

    Yummy Vietnamese on Buford Hwy! The food here is really good - very fresh and light - and the prices are really cheap. I got the impression that this is where Americans go for Vietnamese food, so I'd probably prefer to go to a place that's not as well known next time. I did really like feeling satisfied without feeling like I ate too much. It felt like a good, healthy meal.

  • Jadzia W.

    What a delightful restaurant. We had the duck stuffed grape leaves, the beef fragrant rice and the beef vermicelli. Nice crunch pieces of beef, well prepared. Everything was very tasty. The service was very pleasant and it was clear they were going out of their way to ensure repeat business - it showed in the appreciative way several employees told us they appreciated us choosing their restaurant for Friday night dinner. The place is simple, inexpensive, clean (rare to find clean ceilings/vents!). For sure we will add it to our list of inexpensive dinner out places. I see that some reviewers are all out of sorts because they don't serve Pho. Vietnamese food is actually quite diverse. Many times Viet grilled meat type restaurants do not serve Pho. Looks like Lee's Bakery in the same shopping center serves Pho. Enjoy this restaurant for what it does right - grilled meat dishes.

    Great service & food in a nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Some food that I haven't found in other Vietnamese restaurants. Really liked the Tht cu - Australian lamb grape rolls & the Các món lc chão -- Special shaking wok-stirred fried wild gulf shrimps & sausage w/ red bell peppers, sugar peas, & spinach. Been here a several times & each was great! I shall return!

    Have been eating Vietnamese food for a good 15yrs and have been in great restaurants, however this place sets itself from the others with great variety of food and let's not mention the taste . Small casual place nothing fancy but with huge potential . We Dine here at least two times a week and besides the great taste, another thing that I have come to notice is the consistency of their meals which are always 100% consistent with absolutely zero changes (Huge plus) and let's not forget the customer service . They are very attentive and extremely polite and that's what you everyone really look for during your visit to a establishment . The price: Super lower prices imo for such a great quality really makes this place my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant . Just so you know, I drive 20 minutes for this each way ....

    Absolutely delicious! We began our meal with the meatless mango salad, which was better than expected. The appetizer of choice was a combo with two shrimp egg rolls and two crispy pastry filled with what they described as bang bang lamb. Seriously, I could eat a truckload full of these and be super happy. My sweetie chose the shaken beef. I would reccommend this dish with a side of chili paste and a mango salad on the side. Sweet and hot perfect combo. I chose the shrimp curry and the curry was tasty, but next time I will get the shaken beef. So tender and flavorful. Oh and there is complimentary cake and ice cream at the end!

    This was my first visit to this restaurant as we were really up for good Vietnamese food. The last place I tried it in Atlanta was at Nam near Piemont Park. It was awesome. Anyhow this was a less than fair experience. The short ribs were chewy and thinly sliced, and flavorless. I ordered the tuna salad and it was ok, not great. The tuna was very thinly sliced and pink, not a deep red as I usually see it. It was basically tasteless. Also had the Sampler Plate which was expensive with no item that was outstanding. Shrimp were dry and the chicken flat. The egg rolls were stuffed with a dough like substance; not quite sure what it was but palatable. The other fried dumpling items were overdone with thick crusts and with minimal stuffing. The ice cream crape was ok. The kicker came when I received the bill for $101 and change. I paid cash with 122 dollars and told the waiter to keep the change. Another person brought back the 35 cent change and quickly left the table. I called to him and when he came back to the table, I told him I left $122. He responded that I left $102 and walked off. I counted the money twice leaving 6 $20's and 2 singles. I looked for the waiter and did not see him. Something was definitely wrong. I am not planning on going back. Somehow I feel like I was hoodwinked. Big price for a two appetizer 2 entree meal with one dessert and water. Food was comparable to frozen pre done Asian fare but over cooked. I did not see the supposed French influence in their cooking, which their menu spoke of.

    There are many Vietnamese restaurants along this highway. While the food here was decent, I might not go back. We ordered papaya salads to split. The combination of mango, papaya, and Apple was good, but the sauce masked the freshness (or hoped freshness) of the ingredients. We had main meals of pho, which were good but not outstanding. Looking forward to trying other places along this highway or maybe other dishes on this menu.

    Holy Cow! Where have you been C'om? First off, the waiter and owner were SUPER PATIENT. There were noisy kids when we entered at 8 PM and they were polite, patient, and served them and came over to check on us when we needed something. We ordered: - Pot grilled beef & shrimps for 3-4 patrons: I think this feeds 3 hungry dudes. First off, they give a lot of rice paper (where you dip it in and make a spring roll out of the mountains of grilled beef and shrimp they give you). We ate everything and the plates were empty in about 15 minutes and the owner just looked at us and asked if we wanted some more rice paper. Well by the time he brought it over, he realized we had empty plates so he gave us a small plate of beef and veggies. What a guy! - Complimentary ice cream and coffee cake ended the meal. I don't know if everyone gets this but we sure felt special. The ice cream had a hint of chocolate chip in it and the coffee cake was a nice complement to the ice cream. The restaurant is clean. The bathroom is clean. Service was great. I'll have to come back!

    *rubs belly* Food: 4. I got the pork chop fragrant rice and was blown by all the mouth watering obstacles in the dish. I've never had a dish like that and was pleased. The grape leaves roll was quite underwhelming, despite the other rave reviews about it. Service: 3. Met expectations Location: 3. Location is in an outdoor strip, why is this the generic Buford setup. Ambience was so meh. I would like to revisit.

    Com (I'm told it's pronounced Gum) is one of the countless Vietnamese places on Buford hwy. While others might focus on Pho (noodle soup), Gum focuses on rice and noodle dishes. My particular favorite at the place are the square vermicelli noodles with pork, beef, or shrimp. These noodles you can wrap with the bean sprouts, carrots, or mints to form a mini sandwich. This you can dip in the sweet fish sauce which tastes very addictive. It's helped by the fact that the meat is not overdone and marinated well. My only complaint is that the meat quantity isn't that much so you might have to be judicious in the way you make your sandwiches. Generally it's a bit more expensive than some other places, maybe 10-15 total per person depending on what you get, but it's definitely worth a try when you're in the mood for something other than Pho.

    Great dinner. Started with a lamb wonton appetizer that had some very tasty meat in it. The entrees were both excellent: the grilled shrimp piccata with mashed taro, and a pork and shrimp dish. The former, under the category of French-Vietnamese fusion, stood out as something distinctive and unexpected, I'd love to eat it again. Terrific time.

  • Robert Y.

    This place is very funky for a Vietnamese restaurant. It doesn't seem to serve typical Vietnamese fare as far as my own experiences go, however it is fantastic. The decor does not look like much. It is small but very simple and elegant with several tables scattered around in addition to a few booths. The service was excellent, and we were helped even though the place was about to close. In fact we were told to stay as long as we liked, which was very surprising given they were about to close. For our entree's we got fragrant rice with chicken, as well as pho. Both looked and tasted very different from normal, but they were both excellent. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, the chicken was cooked and seasoned very nicely, and the chicken pho is probably the best I have ever had, and I tend to not like it. In all, I would highly suggest to visit this place. If you like Vietnamese food or want to try something different. I would give this place a try.

    I went here the other night for a family member's birthday dinner celebration. Overall a positive experience but i cannot say I am in a hurry to return for a repeat visit. I was happy with my meal. I got the pho with sliced australian lamb for my main and the duck grape leaves as a starter. Others at my table complained that the food was served luke warm or cold. Perhaps that is the norm for certain dishes. My soup was hot and my duck grape leaves were warm. The duck grape leaves were served on a bed of herbs, veggies and glass vermicelli noodles; an amount that was more of a garnish and had some kind of vinegary broth. The soup came with a tray of herbs and spouts (smallish compared to others at nearby pho places). The rest of my party had opted for rice and vermicelli dishes. A couple of dinner party members got the com special vermicelli dish which had egg and pork on top of noodles. I did not sample other dishes and I did not hear any any complaints (other than food temp issues / preferences. And perhaps some portioning issues. Most loved the Taro side dish (I did not try it as I am not a fan of taro). The only real complaints were for service issues. Members of my party supplied a cake for the birthday lady of the group; the cake was held in the kitchen during the dinner. We had the waiter bring the cake out after the dinner ended. They forgot to bring us forks, so we had to sit there awkwardly for a few minutes. We had to wait to eat the cake only until they brought us spoons (not forks). Perhaps eating cake with spoons is the norm in certain circles. Bottom Line: Co'm is decidedly different from other nearby Vietnamese places and is decidedly fancier and perhaps more of an upscale French - Vietnamese bistro; however, I was not wowed by the flavors as some other reviewers have described. Overall I'd like to give this place a 3.5 or four star rating; however, due to some food temperature issues and service issues during my visit, I will dispense with three.

    Authentic! I was impressed by the extensive menu. For my first time, I went with their rice (com) dish with lamb. The combination of vegetables and fish sauce was so flavorful. The smell of the grill from lamb added to the experience. I also tried the meat wrapped in grape leaves. I was pleasantly surprised by the burst of flavor from one bite. The spring roll is different from what I expected. It did not have the usual vermicelli but it was tightly packed with many ingredients! The meal ended with complimentary dessert. Some sort of mousse chocolate/coffee slice and vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to go back to try a vermicelli dish. Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. The parking lot looked a bit crowded since it was shared but I found parking immediately when I arrived.

    Being a frequent patron of Lee's Bakery and El Senor Taco, I'd always been curious about 'C'om', its menu boasts modern vietnamese and "Indochine" cuisine - though in my experience, modern vietnamese is a much more fitting category than the latter. We came in on a mid Saturday morning, and it was fairly empty the duration of our meal - a few customers trickled in towards the end. A quick note: if you're looking to try the brunch menu, you'll have to ask for it - as our servers handed us their standard menu; Their standard was fine with us though - everything on the menu sounded delicious, here's everything we tried: -Lobster Spring Rolls ($7.50): I couldn't resist ordering these, and they were pretty tasty, there wasn't much lobster though, there were about two-three halves, and a few bits of chicken thrown in. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the rolls were accompanied with a sweet chili sauce, which is my favorite compliment to spring rolls. -Grilled Shrimp Piccata and Smashed Taro in Curry Gravy ($13.95): The highlight of my meal! The shrimp were delicious, with a lovely flavor, and they were served with a light pesto sauce. Smashed taro is fast becoming one of my favorite foods, they do a great rendition the dish here - my only qualm is that the consistency was a bit watery - but the flavor didn't reflect it at all - it was a very full and rich taro flavor, and the curry gravy just brought it to a whole other level - it wasn't spicy at all (thankfully), there was just a slight kick. -Ph beef--bò ($7.50): I only tried the broth, which I found to be fairly decent. The boyfriend said overall it was okay, but he prefers when the protein is served rare in the broth, and with the pho here it seems as if the meat is fully cooked when served. I'm looking forward to returning and trying their other dishes, particularly a few items from their brunch items. The staff is very friendly and attentive; great eats all around in this plaza!

    Fantastic food and a great service, every dish we ordered was amazing.I cannot wait to go back. Make sure you order the stuffed grape leaves, we had it stuffed with duck and it was the highlight of the experience. The basil rice rolls and the signature salad are very good.

    We had the shrimp and lamb lettuce wraps, soft shrimp spring rolls, and fried pork spring rolls. Everything was amazingly fresh, delicious and healthy. They accidentally thought I ordered one order of the lettuce wraps when I called in to pick up, but profusely apologized, offered me something to drink while I waited, and included complimentary dessert. The service was warm and friendly, and I will definitely be back!

    What can I not say about this place! It's tucked away in a little shopping center but once inside, it's very cozy. I went on a Friday night and the place wasn't too busy. We got a table right away. My boyfriend ordered the Shrimp Bun (pronounced "boon") that came with vermicelli noodles. Full of flavor and yummy. I didn't care for the peanuts but he enjoyed them. I ordered the beef Pho which was amazing. They bring a side plate of condiments to add to the dish that includes mint, lime and bean sprouts- all very yummy. The dish is huge and my boyfriend had to help me finish. They gave us complementary dessert which is sort of like a mocha cake with ice cream and chocolate drizzled on top. They had great service and were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

    BUN THIT NUONG TOM COMBO rice vermicelli with grilled beef and shrimp. Ummmm. Wow. Yes. One of the best bowls of bun I've had in a long time. I love the wider bowls too, much easier to eat. Grilled meats were lean but so flavorful, grilled shrimp perfection. Lots of fresh veggies and fried onions. Who doesn't love fried onions?! LOBSTER SPRING ROLLS Genius. Huge lobster pieces with sushi ginger wrapped inside veggie spring roll. Yummy. It came with fish sauce but I think I might like it with peanut sauce better. FRESH SALAD WITH MANGO - GOI The best Asian salad ever. I love eating goi in the summertime, and I usually get it with a seared meat like venison but this was all veggie. I absolutely loved it. Dressing has fish sauce in it though. FRIED TOFU So good. I have a thing for fried tofu. Although the pieces were a bit small, the fried tofu were so good. Comes with soy sauce. COCONUT WATER Not my favorite at all. I think it came from a can so it was just OK. Didn't taste fresh. MOCHA CAKE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM Complimentary dessert. It was delicious. The mocha was nicely flavored, not to overpowering. Vanilla ice cream is winner.

    There are so many great Vietnamese places off of Buford highway, I have no idea why you would go here. The food was below average and it took them over an hour to serve me my pho (the place was dead and I was by myself). I don't understand the great ratings this place has.

    Based on the positive reviews I went to check out Co'm the other night. We were promptly seated and given water. The menu seemed out of date and a lot of things were crossed out and altered. Co'm offers a plethora of seafood creatures. Unfortunately, there was only one vegan dish on the menu. Our food arrived promptly and it tasted really good. After we finished we were given little deserts. Once again, I got screwed as it was not vegan. Anyway, the food was great and the service was good with room for improvement. The styling of the place lost a few points for having flat screens tuned to CNN. There is really no need for TVs in restaurants.

    So this was a totally random find and am so happy to have found it. My wife, her parents, and myself had just finished doing some last minute shopping for our wedding at Lennox Mall. My wife and her parents are from California and I don't come into Atlanta a lot so no one knew where we should go eat for dinner. We looked on our Garmin GPS under food and then Vietnamese and it took us here. We were skeptical at first as the neighborhood got a little shady and the restaurant was in the parking lot with a gas station and other rinky-dink businesses. We decided we would give it a shot despite our reservations. I can't even pronouce what I got but it was damn good. I think it was the bun thit heo, bo hoac ga nuong. Anyway-divine. I can't remember or again pronounce what the other members of my party got, but I sampled each one and they were superb as well. My wife loves international food and ordered for most of us and has been dying to take me to a Vietnamese place out it Cali and was very excited to find one in Georgia and that was actually good no less.

    One of my favorites for lunch OR dinner. The papaya salad is always phenomenal as are the duck sausage grape leaves (SO good). If you have time order the whole fish. It takes 45 minutes to cook but it is WORTH the wait and you can taste so many other wonderful things in the meantime including the bun. Have fun here and be adventurous with this menu. Great flavors, textures, and very satisfying. The ambiance is nothing wonderful, but the food is so good I have to give 5 stars.

    Love this place! Highly recommend trying it if you enjoy great healthy food. They are a French Vietnamese restaurant with a great wine selection and a friendly, informative staff. I had the BANH HOI/FLAT RICE VERMICELLI (Do It Yourself Vietnamese Burritos) which were soo healthy and mouth watering yummy! I choose the pork tenderloin which comes with fresh array of greens and steamed rice noodles which you wrap yourself in rice paper! So yummy and fun creating your own healthy burritos! They just opened a new location in Suwanee, Ga called Sen Lotus. Located at the SuperTarget shopping center Brookwood Marketplace off Peachtree Parkway.

    Although Co'm is very small is very comfortable. The servers are very attentive and helpful when you're not familiar with the menu. The food is pretty good, the portions very generous, and the prices affordable. I recently went there with a friend and I ordered Rice Vermicelli with Shrimp and my friend ordered Flat Vermicelli with Beef. Both dishes were pretty good. I also like the fact that they give you a small piece of cake after your meal.

    I think I may dream about COM Grill tonight when I fall asleep. I'll probably dream about the absolutely delicious grape leaf-wrapped duck appetizers. About how much I savored each and every bite of the pork loin with fragrant rice dish -- how the thinly sliced meat was grilled just right so it was a little crispy on the edges but not over cooked, how moist the rice was and how pouring the small bowl of spicy, fish sauce-like broth on top made the entire plate practically irresistible. About how I felt completely stuffed but couldn't stop eating it until every last bite was gone because it was really that tasty. I might...wake up to a foodgasm?! Either that or find myself sleep walking down Buford Highway, mouth watering and stumbling toward another fantastic meal. Damn you, COM Grill! I'm hooked!

    Not really sure what the fuss is about Co'm. I have eaten here a few times, only when my fave Vietnamese joint down the skreet is closed, and have never been impressed. Their shrimp is way too sweet for me and their green mango/green papaya salad falls short of fabulousness. While I think their food is alright it never compares to the bun and papaya salad that I normally eat at another not-to-be-named place. Another annoying thing to me is that the hot tea- no choice on this one- is chock full o' tea leaves. Shit annoys the hell out of me. I know I am going against the grain here since everyone seems to love Co'm but I feel that this place deserves a m'eh more than a yeah.

    I think this place is just okayyyyy. I definitely prefer that other Pho place with the bubble tea or that Vietnamese place in Downtown on Broad street. It's not bad, it's just not good. Service was fine and prompt. The egg rolls were hot and fresh. I thought the bun's noodles were extra good because they weren't soggy like other places. I think my boyfriend ranked them low compared to other vietnamese places because it didn't have as much meat as other places. I actually preferred their bun. However, I ranked their meat and rice low compared to other places. The rice was good, fresh, and plump. But I didn't really like the meat. Instead of cubes, it was thin strips. It was just okay. I probably will not be coming back to this place.

    oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh how i love Vietnamese food. Their Bun was the perfect combination of savory and tangy. I love rice noodles, and I admit I eat them a lot in my hometown, but was not expecting to find good noodles in the south. Thank god I was wrong. I also ate the best panang curry of my life. (though I thought panang to be Thai?). It had pumpkin in it, which was most likely Japanese squash. It was tender and sweet. The serving was HUGE, but I was a hungry girl and didn't want the amazing flavor to go to waste. So I ate and ate and ate. I was in some pain on the way home, but it was worth it. I won't make a stop to ATL again, with out eating here.

    Decided to go after my colleague kept raving about C'om Grill. It's a bit out of the way if you're only in Atlanta for business like I was, which means you usually just end up in downtown Atlanta with no easy access to other areas of the city. Lucky for me, I managed to get someone to come and take me. Great flavors, though I wouldn't call it authentic. Ordered the curry chicken, grilled prawn bun, and a beef salad. I also liked that their rice was a bit crispy. Unexpectedly they brought us dessert after the meal - not good for my waist, but a nice gesture for diners.

    I never would have known about this place if it weren't for Yelp, and it's only 2 miles from my house! This is a great find! My boyfriend and I went there last Friday. We ordered the fried shrimp egg rolls, which are amazing and came out really hot. I got the beef tenderloin special fragrant rice, which was good, but I could have used more veggies. He got the Rice Vermicelli (bun) with the lamb tenderloin. The rice vermicelli was fantastic, but we both preferred the beef tenderloin to the lamb. A small dessert was brought to each of us at no charge. It was some sort of mocha tiramisu-type thing, and it was INCREDIBLE. The guy said they only give it away on weekends, but I went back this past Tuesday and was given it again. This most recent time, I got the Rice Vermicelli with the pork tenderloin, which tasted a LOT like the beef, but it had a better texture. I would recommend that. I would LOVE to try the Flat Rice Vermicelli, since you make lettuce wraps with it . . . but since it costs $5 more than the other entrees I mentioned, and I'm kinda broke, I haven't been able to stomach the extra expense. I'll save my $5 for beer. It is a recession after all. Service was good, albeit a little slow. But I like to savor my time out, even if I'm alone like I was on Tuesday . . . which I think some people find unnerving. LOL. Highly recommended!

    I came for dinner when with my sister a few weeks back, this place is really great. I had the Bun with grilled pork, which was excellent. Tons of flavor and plenty of food. The service was very good as well, I'll definitely be back.

    Thanks, Yelpers, for leading me down the right path. We had some friends coming in from California last night, and when asked where they'd like to eat, they let us know that nothing less than authentic Vietnamese grub would please their palates. Oops...not my specialty. So, onto the Yelp site I go for some Yelpin'-Helpin'. From the excellent Bunh to the Chicken Curry, this place has good-tasting food. I'm not an expert in this culinary culture, but my East Coast friends claim to be, and they were very happy. Friendly service sealed the deal. We'll be back. Recommended.

    3.5 stars, for sure... When coming to visit my sister in Atlanta, I could have my first request be to make reservations at Rathbuns. Or Spice Market. Or even Two Urban Licks. But nope. I say 'Can we go to Com???' Okay, okay. Truth be told, I did have her make a resie at Rathbuns before I arrived. But my point is that Com is the first place I'm thinking about heading to once my flight comes in. This place just satisfies my Vietnamese food craving that I seem to have on a daily basis. Not tons of atmosphere - but who really cares about that when you're eating basic Vietnamese food? I adore the green papaya salad and love the option where you can get the 'mixed' (papaya, green apple and mango???) even more. The bun is absolutely deee-lish! My sister is always down for coming here. My brother-in-law isn't always as willing of a participant (mostly because he would just love the day that I said 'I'm craving fish and chips!' so we could do that kind of outing - he's not super huge on Vietnamese food so we won't even factor in his reaction when I make my Com request). I will just wrap this up by saying that the last time I was in Atlanta, I was there for 2 days - and made two different trips to this place. Oh...and a nice little trip to Rathbun's in between. Hehe.

    Last night's visit to Co'm matched up perfectly with the other reviews I've seen. This is a very good place, with an approachable menu, crisp flavors, and a helpful staff. We got two appetizers, both on the recommendation of other Yelpers. The duck grape leaves were outstanding -- the duck was well-cooked, and the spices were subtle and complementary. The lamb spring rolls were also good, but nothing extraordinary. I had a pork grape leaves bun, and I loved it. The proportion of noodle to protein was perfect, and the noodles were sized properly (no crazy dangling pasta embarrassment here). My friend got a rice dish with chicken, which looked simple but good, and he said it was tasty. The free dessert at the end was a perfect end to the meal. If you're new to the Buford Highway Corridor, this would be a great introduction to the culinary delights that await you there. The restaurant is clean and simply decorated, and the staff are helpful and attentive. If you can't find something that sounds good on this menu, then you may just want to avoid Asian cuisine entirely. Can't wait to go back and try the mango salad everyone raves about!

    I'm a true fan of Com Vietnamese Grill. I believe they stay true to the vietnamese tradition and serve up very tasty dishes. The smell and aroma of the grilled food is intoxicating. I love their Grilled Flounder served with Fresh Vegetables and Rice Paper for wrapping. It reminds me of mom's home cooking as a child. The papaya salad appetizer is a great starter. I recommend the whole menu. you really can't go wrong. It's vietnamese food at its truest form. well, besides mom's home cooking :)

  • Renee J.

    I love their bun. Yum Yum!!! I know what I like and when I ordered it it makes me happy. Grilled chicken always tastes delicious. No weird old chicken taste here. Yes, I should try other things off their menu but I love the charbroiled chicken with vermicelli. I took my picky parents here and my mom got the tofu and my stepdad got the lambchops and they told me it was good. That's a good sign.

    This is now my favorite restaurant on Buford Highway methinks. Went there with my girlfriend the first time after she had read some reviews here. Wow, were we happy! We split the grape leaf wrapped duck sausage and the chicken spring rolls for apps. I loved both. the spring rolls are the soft rice paper kind, not the crispy fried kind. The sauced they served them with rocked as well. The duck sausage grape leaves I was suspect about when I saw them, but holy crap were they good. We each had a Tsingtao and sat back to enjoy. For main course, we both had Bun, which was incredible. It is a rice noodle dish. I had pork tenderloin, she had chicken. Between this and the apps, we had enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Incredible food. The free dessert topped it off nicely. The place is nothing to write home about, but its nice, quiet, good service, and the food is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this to all my friends now. Last trip I took 4 newbies there and they all loved it.

    Just wonderful. The decor is not what you come for, and the two televisions set to two different channels (with sound on while trance music plays over the sound system) are distracting....but who cares? You go to Co'm for the food, not the decor. The spring rolls are light and set the stage beautifully for their entrees. I highly recommend getting the hot tea to enjoy during the course of your time there. The vegetables are always fresh, the meat wonderfully marinated and prepared. The fragrant rice lives up to its billing, and the balance of flavor and heat is always respected. The Million Dollar Cake is a light, cool way to finish your experience. The service is always attentive without being intrusive as well as unfailingly polite. It is a pleasure in every way, and is the epitome of great food in an unassuming location. Karen and I both love it. A gem on Buford Highway.

    Fabulous. Delicious. Great service, great food and very friendly staff. Ground duck in grape leaves was so good. Spring rolls with lamb were incredible! The wine list is better than I was expecting with up to date "house wines" like NO Sauvignon Blanc. The flat rice vermicielli with grilled shrimp was mild and light and the sauce added a nice delicate flavor to counterbalance the grilled flavor of the shrimp, fresh veggies and herbs. I am taking my family here next time they are in town. We asked to see a dessert menu, but instead dessert appeared with three spoons. I guess it was tiramisu, and it was delicious. Well done Co'm! We'll be back soon!

    Tried this place after a "yelp" review(Erin). Incredible!!! I find myself bringing friends there every time. I have been back 5 times in a month, and have no complaints. As in other reviews, its a little difficult to figure out what to order, but regardless, its great. For newbies, here is my reco: Shrimp Egg Rolls- For the first time in while there is actually large shrimp in the rolls, and they come out HOT. Grape Leaves-The Ground Duck has a great kick. Lamb or pork Rice cake make your spring rolls. Its not listed that way on the menu, but you'll enjoy making your own spring rolls. EnjoY!

    This place is located in a Chevron shopping center so very discreet and hidden. Off of Buford Hwy near Clairmont Road. I first ate hear over 4 years ago and have been going back since. Definitely worth tryng out once, twice, or even 3 times. Their lamb wrapped in grape leaves is awesome, along with their vermicelli lamb plate. Kind of hard to find if you're not familiar with the area, but it's worth trying. Next door there's a Vietnamese bakery shop called Lee's bakery. I go there to get Vietnamese subs. Buy 5 get one free, all for under 15 bucks. Can't beat that.

    My bf's family was in town, craving Vietnamese food. We decided to try out Co'm, with the expectation that it may not be as good as West Coast Vietnamese. We were pleasantly surprised. It was a restaurant in a strip mall area off Buford, easy parking. Clean, nice casual atmosphere. We had the rice dishes (it is Co'm, after all). The meats were well flavored and tender, the eggrolls were freshly made with a good crunch, the coffee was perfect. We also got a free chocolate cake dessert. While not the best I've ever had, it's a good solid place for Vietnamese food.

    Com is the neighborhood restaurant that I go to when I feel somewhat guilty for having not eaten a fruit or veggie in weeks. It's the kind of food that makes you feel virtuous and healthy while you are eating it. The really amazing thing is that it actually tastes good too! I love the Bun with charcoal grilled shrimp with the entire bowl of vinegary hot sauce poured over the top. The crispy sticks of carrot and papaya and cooling cucumber are a delicious addition. The other thing that I love is the salad, which I usually get with the lamb, it is so tasty I usually end up ordering it even after I've eaten the Bun I came for. It has the green mango and papaya and apple and tons of fresh herbs, completely addictive. The best thing is the food is so cheap here, even if I splurge and order both, I still won't be paying as much as I would for an entree anywhere else.

    Went during a weeknight and had a flawless experience. The relatively empty dining room allowed for very attentive and snappy service and plenty of space and privacy to have a conversation. After being away from Atlanta for eight years, it's refreshing to know I can still find affordable and exciting food on Buford Highway!

  • Lynne B.

    Love, love, love coming here. Com is one of those places where if you can't decide where you want to eat, you always manage to end up. It's great for both lunch and dinner and even though I always tend to get the same dish (pork with rice, fish cake, fried egg, and veggies), it always rocks. And everyone should stop crying about the lack of pho. Not all American restaurants have every single American dish, do they??? I'm sure that you can find pho somewhere else in the city. Zeesh.

    This place was on a 2007 50 Best Restaurants in Atlanta list. I checked it out. Food was average. Big portions. Attentive service. Would not choose to go again. If I were with people who wanted to go there, I would use all the powers of persuasion available to me to change their minds.

    I went there with a friend on a Monday afternoon. It was our first time and I don't know much about Vietnamese food. There seem to be various items on the menu worth trying, but we did not really get much help with the menu or suggestions. My noodles were fine, but nothing spectacular. However, if you know Vietnamese food, then this place should be a good one to try. There were a lot of Vietnamese people eating in the restaurant, which was a good sign.

    So I was forced to go with my friend Zack E. ;) to this place which I cant complain I had a really nice time. This was my first time eating Vietnamese food and I have to say that I really wasn't that impressed.. Don't get me wrong the food at this location was great..... I like the smoky sweet flavor of the dish... I had the the noodle with grill chicken on top.. not sure of the official name I will come back and updated it at a later time.... So I think I will give it a second try and let you know if was all that I expected Oh and the dessert at the end also deserves 2 thumbs up... it had a coffee flavor quite execellet!

  • Becky N.

    What is Vietnamese food without Pho? Even knowing that...I would still recommend this place. It has really good food with minimal fusion in the seasoning. Coming from a traditional Viet family I wouldn't say it's the best..but I would say it feeds the cravings! I recommend the grape leaves for appetizers, the asparagus/crab meat soup to strart and the bun. I am not a fan of colored rice (it's mint green here..) so I haven't tried the rice but for the most part it's a matter of picking your meat and then your carb and Voila..good food! There is also a location in Dunwoody as well which doesn't quite have the extensive menu like the grilled fish.

    My husband and I decided to try something new tonight, so we visited COM for the first time. Based on the reviews I read here on Yelp, we knew a lot of good items to try, so we weren't scared off by the menus. In case you are nervous, the menus do have a decent amount of English on them. I had the lamb spring rolls and the bun (rice vermicelli) with pork tenderloin. My husband had the chicken spring rolls and the special with the crab cake, rice, beef, and fried egg. Everything was delicious, though next time I'm going to pour my sauce all over my food instead of carefully dipping my food in it. :) Of the four different meats I tasted, I probably liked the lamb the best, then the beef tenderloin (from my husband's plate), then the pork tenderloin, and finally the chicken. All were good, I just think that the beef and lamb really sing with tasty charred flavor. All of the vegetables in our spring rolls and entrees were remarkably fresh. Service was pretty good. I did have to wait a pretty long time to have my water refilled once, but our food came out fast and the spring rolls came out first (which frequently doesn't happen at some places on Buford Highway **coughPhoHoacough**). All tables were given small complimentary pieces of coffee flan. I usually don't like flan, but this was more cake-y than flan-y, so it was good. Also, it's hard to argue with free dessert. For the taste, the overall experience (the tables are very close together so you can easily watch the interesting things everyone else is ordering), and the amount and quality of the food for the (low) price, I definitely rate COM a solid five stars.

    My husband ate at Co'm a few weeks ago with a friend & raved about it. So, when we happened to be in the area, I insisted we eat there. And, boy am I glad I did. This was one of the best meals I have eaten in a long time. For our first course, we ordered duck wrapped in grape leaves and a combination (mango, papaya & apple) salad with shrimp. Both dishes were expertly prepared, had very complex flavors and were just "lick the plate" delicious. Our next course was rice vermicelli with rice paper. We ordered ours with chicken. The extremely friendly & competent waitress gave us a quick lesson on how to roll the chicken, vermicelli, crunchy peanut/spice mixture, lettuce, basil, mint & cilantro using the rice paper. Not only a meal, but an activity as well! It was so fun & yummy. Finally, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert that was some sort of mocha cake thing. It was just as good as everything else. This place is truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. I cannot wait to go back!

    It has been a while since I have been here, but the fact this place remains in my memory means either a good thing or a bad thing. I have been to the Buford Hwy and the one OTP and both experiences have been amazing. Granted their portions aren't enormous, but I have found that I don't mind since there food is so rich in flavor, the service is kind (albeit a little slow, order one of their amazing apps). I have not been disappointed. I have found at the Buford Hwy location it can get crowded, and service can be slow. But I still think their food is delish.

    We just returned to Com after a one year, unintentional hiatus. We forgot what we were missing. Tried the appetizer of grape leaves with beef and it was wonderful. The flavors, the spices are so refreshingly different. Tasty but subtle without overpowering the meat and grape leaves. My wife had the vegetable spring rolls which she had to ask for. We think they used to be on the menu but all we saw were meat rolls. The spring rolls are NOT deep fried. They are wrapped in that thin roll "paper" that's transparent? I don't know what it's called. But the flavors of lemongrass and other herbs were wonderful. Everything we had was wonderful. I had a spicy lamb entree and my wife had a beef salad (goi). My wife had one glass of wine and our bill came to $31. They brought us a complimentary dessert like the one pictured below. What a treat. As far as Buford Highway ethnic restaurants are concerned, Com is at or near the top.

    Amazing. My wife and I went here and I was unsure of what to expect. We started with the fried egg rolls and duck wrapped in grape leaves...I've never had anything better! Then we had shaken beef and lamb vermicelli(?) for entrees which were equally awesome. One of the best places I've gone to in a while. Won't disappoint.

    The Vietnamese know how to throw a mouth party! I've been to Co'm several times and finally talked my BF into going there tonight. It was really fabulous -- I am still happily stuck in a rut with the green papaya, mango and apple salad with grilled shrimp. But I also tried the grape leaves with salmon (YUM) and the pork and shrimp spring rolls (which are actually rice paper rolls -- i.e., not fried). BF got the rice with fried egg, shrimp cake and grilled pork and lamb. All delicious -- a wonderful balance of sweet, spicy, tangy, and smoky flavors. Decent little wine list, delicious Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk, and they bring you a little piece of free chocolate/mocha cake. All this for about $60 -- you can't beat it!

  • Laura H.

    So, this was my first time trying Vietnamese food - I was all excited to try Pho, but as some other reviewers have mentioned, it was no where to be found on this menu! So, that quest continues - but what I did discover was delicious new cuisine. I had the beef spring rolls - so light and yummy, and I loved the sauce. And also the Pork Bun. It looks funny to type that. It was a HUGE bowl filled with pork, rice noodles and some veggies, again with that sweet sauce for dipping. It was filling and fresh. I can't wait to go back.

    Love Love Love the bun at Co'm! The spring rolls and grape leaf wraps are good as well, but the bun is what keeps me coming back. I usually get the pork tenderloin bun. Their bun is miles better than Pho #1's, but Co'm is a pho-less Vietnamese restaurant.

  • Jenna H.

    The duck and pork stuffed grape leaves were succulent and full of an unusual and pleasant smoky flavor. The smokiness was powerful enough to notice but also subtle and blended perfectly with the other seasonings. The meat is akin to sausage and not at al dried out.

  • Chris R.

    Ok, This place is a totally awesome fusion of healthy, asian, light and delicious. Definitely a cut above the rest of fast and reasonable Vietnamese available in Atlanta. We usually get one flat rice vermicelli with beef (do it yourself burrito) and one beef fragrant rice. If you order two Ban Hoi's for < 4 people you are wasting a lot of delicious vegetables, you will never eat them. I am going to try the lamb shank soon, but the beef is just so tasty I can't pass it up, I eat their bi-monthly. We always start with the beef/veg/fruit salad it rocks. Vietnamese iced coffee here is awesome as well, the only reason it gets 4 stars is that they don't have a decent egg roll. If they can fix that, they get 5 from me!!

  • Stricky T.

    As you walk into C'om the hint of grilled meats, charcoal and burning fluids fills the air. This may not sound appetizing but believe me it is worth the try. I ordered the grilled pork with fragrant rice. C'om is known for the open flame grilled meats and they seem to have stuck to the tradition. It was a nice meal and definitely worth a second try to explore the menu; in the meantime and in between time it was alright.

  • TJ M.

    I really like this place. Good food and reasonable prices. Great to eat in or take out. Note that there's no Pho, but you could probably get some Pho at Lee's Bakery next door, where I also get fresh bread. I recommend the chargrilled beef, as well as the green papaya salad.

    I am truly soooooo disappointed in this place. I used to frequent this location pretty often, but haven't gone towards this side of buford highway in the past year or so. it wasn't until last week when me & the bf were trying to introduce this restaurant to our friends for the first time. upon our visit, I noticed that com grill has hired lots of new faces. I didn't think anything of it, but man.. I was in for a disappointment. it took awhile for someone to notice we were waiting for a table. the restaurant wasn't even busy. out of the 15 tables they had, only 3 tables were occupied with customers. then after we were seated, they quickly brought us water, which was misleading since that was when I thought it picked up. BUT NOPE. that water drop off was the last we saw of them for 10 minutes. we were getting very impatient that we had to flag someone down to ask for a menu. then when we got our menus, they didn't even want to come check up on us to see if we were ready to order. I just don't understand what these servers or management was thinking. maybe the main store manager wasn't there to check on his employees, but these servers were slacking like hell. throughout the meal, no one ever checked on how we were doing or refilled our waters. also, when you're done with your meal.. they usually give you complimentary desserts for dining in on a weekday. we saw them drop off a free dessert for a lady that was eating alone, but they chose to just drop off our bill with nothing; not even a "thank you"..... this has got the be one of the worst services/experiences I have ever experienced. definitely never returning here.

    This is our go-to restaurant, the one we picked on the first day we moved into Brookhaven. It is a small restaurant tucked away in a corner of a busy shopping center behind a gas station. Parking can be tight, but there is parking around the front and back of the gas station. If we have been 6 times we have been 12. Inside, the restaurant is simple and elegant. The staff is attentive and quite helpful about the menu. The food is amazing and my wife and I always try to decide who will order the fragrant rice with lamb since it is so good. Every one of the fragrant rice dishes are great but the lamb is special. I have sampled many items on the menu and all have the same attention to taste as well as presentation. Eat in and you get a small desert - a nice touch. We went in recently and they wrote our name and wishes for the new year in sauce. Very cute. Prices are great, service is quick, and food is wonderful. Go.

    I am so disappointed in myself for not trying out Com Grill earlier! The customer service was spectacular. The food was delicious and refreshing! The chicken in the chicken pho is so tender! My siblings and I enjoyed everything that we ate. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy more food. The bathrooms were clean and the atmosphere was upscale.

  • Pierre W.

    My normal routine at this hidden restaurant on Buford highway is: 1) walk in and be greeted by one of the very friendly servers who always recognize us )or at least pretend like they do). 2)sit down and order a fresh squeezed OJ (definitely recommend! Always great) 3)order the fragrant rice with chicken. I would try something else but this is SO good I would rather not. food is consistent and good but not GREAT. Good for a while but we are getting sick of this restaurant. Would recommend Com!

    After a couple of previous good food experiences here, to give this place 3 stars breaks my heart. The other night My husband and I decided to go here with a bunch of friends. I decided to get my usual grape rolls with lamb which did not disappoint but what did was the yellow curry I decided to try. I specifically asked for spicy but was served with an overtly sweet curry and my friend who had ordered the same was given a perfectly spicy curry. I told my server and she willingly said she would fix it but brought me back my plate by adding a little spicy sauce to it! Now it had weird sweet spicy flavor. Though they do serve you nice deserts on the house, it could not change my disappointing experience. I would probably go back for the grape rolls but nothing else.

  • John E.

    (Longer version on my food blog) I've reviewed Co'm a few times, but it was while visiting it twice in one week (dinner and a few days later for lunch) that I felt I needed to comment again. It's difficult to shoehorn Co'm into any particular style of cuisine - it's definitely Vietnamese (heck is says that in the name) but it's not your typical pho restaurant - you can go to any number of Ph places all along the Buford Hwy corridor and elsewhere as it's become ubiquitous for this style of cuisine. In fact, I don't believe Co'm even had that classic Vietnamese soup/noodle dish on the menu until recently, and while the pho here is good, it's not the reason I love this restaurant so much. Rather than expend energy trying to define the niche Northern or Southern style of Vietnamese traditional cooking, Co'm's approach is more international and I believe French influenced (although many would argue that this is more of an American affectation, rather than a French one - I still think the bread-and-stew, variety of meats and baguettes point more towards the French occupation of the South rather than an American influence). Whatever you want to call it, Co'm has become one of my favorite restaurants in the many years I've visited. Co'm rests in the corner of an shopping center tucked behind a Chevron station - the better known Lee's Bakery is on the front end and Co'm rests several businesses behind it. When you walk in you'll find a very clean, borderline upscale restaurant with booths and tables. The service at Co'm is frankly fantastic - it's rare to find people who care so much for their patrons and if you've ever been to Asia you will never question the bad service you receive in many other Asian restaurants. Thankfully the owners of Co'm have more of an American take on service with quick attentiveness and water refills. The first thing you'll notice when you view the menu is that it's rather no-nonsense - just a list of interesting items by type: Appetizers, Fried Specialties, Signature Salads, Grilled Grape Leaves, French Indochine - what?! Page two continues with Co'm dishes, but the real stand-out for me is the Bún dishes (rice vermicelli) - both are similar, you basically get the ingredients listed in small piles, either on rice or rice pasta. Typically you mix it all together with a generous portion of sweet-sour fish sauce. Page three explores the Flat Rice Vermicelli (Búnh Hi), the Shaking Wok specialty (something I recommend to friends who have never had Vietnamese - between this and the Ph I usually get them hooked) and finally the Ph itself. Page four has some very special "French Inspired Indochine Selections" - basically the Vietnamese version of Chinese dishes - these are very special indeed. The menu finishes up with various juice selections - if you come for dinner you get a great scoop of coffee ice cream and delicate cream cakes (this last part is included). Interestingly, the last time I visited (for lunch AND a different group), we basically ordered the same as the previous time. For me, the Bún with grilled lamb grape rolls is my favorite (note that it was pointed out to me that although the leaf is similar to grape, it's actually wild betel leaf - something I'm not too familiar with but delicious nonetheless) - these rolls are made up of meat (here the options are tofu, beef, lamb or duck) rolled in betel and grilled so they have a smoky flavor. You mix with fresh veggies and the fish-sauce and chow down. The second and third items that my group had were the Ph and one of the Indochine selections, the Ginger Chicken. We started with some duck grape rolls (a good way to see if you like them without committing). All were quite good and satisfying. What I like about this restaurant is that through all the time I've been coming here for lunch and dinner, it's remained steadfast in it's food quality, and consistent in service. What more can you ask for? Elevating this one to 5 stars.

    I got to admit this place isn't so bad. Food was good or maybe I was hungry.. JK!!! Food was really good. This place is kind of small but food made up for it. This place is a mixture of Vietnamese/ Thai and american too it. I heard a couples of people said this place was pretty good, so I went here with my BF. I got Com with everything and my bf got the steak something. I think my dish was better than his. He was so sad that the dish wasn't the same as last time he was here but who care!! All I care was if my dish was good or not. Happy Anh equal happy review. My Com Special fragrant rice was pretty good. The rib wasn't dry and it was pretty flavorful. I wish the soup taste a little better. It wasn't the best soup I had when I order any rice dishes. I would give this place a 5 stars if their restroom was a little cleaner and better lighting. I have never been to a place that has bad lighting in the restroom. When you turn on the light, it feel like the light was about to die out and you can't even see anything. It will take you about 2 to 3mins to adjusted to the lighting before your eyes can see anything. Really, this place really need to change that restroom lighting, like COME ON they are rich enough to have better lighting in the restroom.

    This is one of the better Vietnamese places in th e Atlanta area. I've been here twice and gotten the build it yourself pork platter twice, which was very tasty. The prices for the dishes are absurdly low. The only problem is that it's a little out of the way on buford Highway.

    Our first time in and what a treat! My partner had the surf & turf, yes you read correctly...lol ! Fillet was already cut, but still wonderful. The sauce on top was especially yummy! I had the salmon red curry that was one of the best I've had in the area. Service was excellent and either the owner or manager was friendly and appreciates the patronage! Stop in you won't be disappointed!

    I'm a regular here. Never had a bad experience with the food or service. The staff are super friendly. The ambience is better than most Vietnamese restaurants on Buford Highway. Usually when a restaurant offers so many items it becomes a game of hit or miss, and you are reduced to ordering the same few items each time. However, that does not apply to Com. The spring rolls, grape leaves, papaya salads, vermicelli, rice dishes, curry dishes, and other speciality items are all delicious. On top of that they offer complimentary desert (ice cream and cake) for dinner.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in a small strip mall. The prices are amazing for the portion sizes and the menu items are flavorful and cooked to perfection. My bf and I come here about once every 2 months, and if we lived closer we would probably go every week. It is the best Vietnamese food around and the free dessert and sweet management always makes our day. Do me a favor and try it for yourselves! The papaya salad and chipotle thai chicken are great appetizers and my favorite entree are the do-it-yourself wraps with grilled pork. I leave happy and satisfied every single time.

    Been a customer here for a couple of years and this place consistently has excellent food, reasonable prices, great service and is clean and accessible. You can tell about a place by the repeat customers, and this place earned plenty. Parking can be dicey mid evening, but that's the only (minor) issue. Heartily endorse!

    A Buford highway Vietnamese gem! Being on Buford Highway C'om is in a random strip mall with some other little Mexican shops. The outside is nothing special but the interior is warm and inviting with pictures of some Vietnamese folks adorning the walls. The pork spring roll was excellent. Fresh tasting spring rolls with a little sausage and a great peanut sauce for dipping. The shrimp fried rolls were great too. Very crispy outside and fresh plump whole shrimp inside. For our main we had the special rice dish and the grilled beef and shrimp with rice vermicelli dish. The first thing you'll notice is the smell from the grilled meat. The beef/shrimp dish had a great assortment of fresh vegetables and a sweet sauce for dipping or to pour over the top. The shrimp were garlicky and cooked very well. The special rice dish was larger overall and had the same beef and vegetables. I would get either dish again and I will certainly be back!

    Solid food, chef prepared, and affordable as a weekly go-to place for a nice dinner. Definitely a step above the "cafeteria style" pho places up and down Buford Hwy in both quality and style. Highly recommended! A lot of vegetarian and fish/seafood options which is rare for Vietnamese places.

    SO IMPRESSED. I usually head to Lee's Bakery in the same plaza on Sunday's for lunch, but I decided to try Co'm recently when the waiting line at Lee's was getting out of hand. The service was fantastic (granted I was one of three patrons at the time), and the food was so flavorful. Call me naive, but I didn't realize how great Viet-style red curry could be. It was really fantastic. As an appetizer, I recommend the pork basil rolls--YUM, so crispy and savory!

    Hmm. I had to think a little before I wrote an updated review for this place. Initially I really liked this place because their offering of the large fish and wraps, but apparently it is no longer in existence. Or it is, and they lied to me. I think this statement is a bit accusatory, but let me tell you why I think that. A day prior to going here, I called ahead and made reservations and asked if I could do the large fish for a group of 4. The guy on the other line said, "No problem," and I was excited for the next day. The next day, we sat down at our reserved table, and the waiter brought us a menu. I told him we already ordered the fish, but he said that they ran out. When I told him I called about it yesterday, he said they no longer served it. Which is it? Also, our waiter had the same voice as the guy who answered the phone the day before. Shady. We got the flounder and grilled pork wraps and the chicken curry. The veggies for the wraps were super fresh, but the meats were pretty disappointing. The flounder was salty but not very flavorful and the pork was flavored well but the slices were so thin that they were tiny shrivels on the plate. Plus, getting the rice paper wraps is an additional cost. Chicken curry was ok but really sweet and only had about 3-4 pieces of small chicken in it. We were still hungry after we were done and had to go next door to get more food. Overall a 2 hoping that they weren't telling me anything false. I won't be coming back here but if you do go, remember this place barely has any Asian patrons, and that is always a warning sign.

    Back in 2005, Co'm was the first place I tried Vietnamese food. I absolutely love this place. I'm not going to repeat everything that's already said, but, try to venture off the noodle (bun) and rice (co'm) dishes and order their DELICIOUS GREEN PAPAYA SALAD. Oh. my. goodness. Ridiculously delicious. Their rice paper spring rolls (goi cuon) are also super delish. P.S. It's pronounced "Gum" not "CAWM" k

    Always get the grilled grape leave rolls. I tried the ones stuffed with duck about three years ago, and go back specifically for this dish, or the rice vermicelli entree with duck grape rolls (bún vt lá nho). It's tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Great value and friendly service too. I miss this place now that I'm in NYC.

    I will start off by saying this has become one of my absolute favorite places on Buford Highway that I have tried. I can officially say I have been here numerous times and every single time I have had a good experience. When you walk in it's a smaller eating space but always very clean and neat, normally unless it's a weekend night you are seated promptly but one of the servers. You sit down and they will immediately get your water and allow you to get settled. I have tried their fresh papaya salad which really was just so light and delicious, as well as their lamb spring rolls which are delicious. They have a few basil rolls that are fresh as well. Now I have tried their fragrant rice which is almost a take on fried rice, but it's cleaner somehow. My friends always get it with lamb which is seasoned well and really yummy. My personal favorite is their bahn hoi with chicken, which is really almost like lettuce wraps. You receive flattened vermicelli noodles, chicken, lettuce, basil, carrots, zucchini, and a vegetable i have yet to identified cut into thin slices, and you put it all together with fish sauce and it's amazing. I never leave this place feeling too full or poofy but just right and I feel refreshed. Also you usually get a free dessert afterwards which is just enough to top off your delicious meal. I really can't say I have tried anything I don't enjoy there and would definitely recommend it to others!

    This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese place! Where to start: the staff is always so friendly, the food is consistently excellent and fresh and doesn't matter what time of the day you eat here. It's easy to miss in the corner but you will be so happy you took the time to find it! My favorite is the lamb won tons, Bon hoi with lamb and rice pancakes and bo luc lac. Delicious :)

    I came for lunch with friends on a Saturday. Absolutely delightful. The New Zealand lamb rolls were knock-your-socks-off amazing, as were the Hanoi rolls. When I was in Vietnam, I ate salads all the time and I was so pleased to see that they offered similar salads to what I ate when in country (I got mine with grilled chicken). So fresh, so delicious, so filling, so light - yum yum yum. Most importantly, our lunch came with free iced coffee. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. That made it worth it to me! The restaurant is really nice on the inside and service is super attentive. This is a definite must-try on Buford!

    Has a French indiochie section on the menu, good service, and free dessert (dine in only) 3.5 Came there on a Sunday night for dinner ..my cousin had a bo luc lac plate and I had the salmon with shrimp off the French indiochie section ..we ordered the shrimp egg roll and flounder spring roll. The spring roll was ok..the fish needed some extra flavoring ..I honestly thought it was going to be more of a cha ca la vong (grilled tumeric fish with dill) style..but it wasn't... egg roll was good..Had a taste of the beef ...and that was solid too.. Now my plate..hmm the reason why I wanted to drop a few stars..the portion to cost..compared to taste wasn't worth it.. dunno why they would slice up the salmon into two pieces..to make it look like there was more?..those two salmon pieces combined was probably only 3 oz at most..and it came with 3 grilled shrimp all covered in a basil pesto sauce. ..had a side of smashed taro with penang curry ..and a little side salad..taro with curry was a delight..even though the curry gravy was heavy on the sugar and coconut milk (i.e. Very sweet) ..I was curious of how they would execute a French indiochie fusion ..IMO it left something to be desire. Overall good but nothing to rave about . ..ambiance was nice..staff was very attentive ..loved the free mocha cake with vanilla ice cream.

    I think if you go twice in one week you have to be a fan. I found this place on a weekend search. It was heaven. We had the grape leaves stuffed with lamb. Oh my. I am partial to a pork bun, and have tried that numerous times along with the coconut fuco . Which is a great pairing it's not too sweet. Our wait staff has always been nice. We usually sit here for close to two hours eating and talking over a pot of jasmine tea. Oh yes, free dessert with dinner. Where else can you say that? No seriously if you know of a place let me know. I'll go there next. Definitely worth a try.

    Co'm Grill is usually the only place I come to when I want some vermicelli. I haven't been here in over 6 years, so when we were driving by, I asked my boyfriend if we could stop by :] It's a cute little place. It is definitely centered toward the American demographics. After we walked in, a whole bunch of other patrons walked in, but my boyfriend and I were the only Asian ones, which was a bit surprising. We ordered the salmon vermicelli, and the chargrilled bbq pork (thit nhung), and I found it alright. The combination was yummy, but the meat didn't do me much justice, so I ended up leaving all the meat behind. Boyfriend enjoyed his salmon though. Still pretty yummy, and pretty much the only place I'll get vermicelli at :]

    I've never had food grilled quite the way it is done here, my favorite is Com Tom, which is a rice dish with grilled shrimp. I came to the restaurant on a whim over the summer and have been waiting for the chance to come back and try other dishes! Try the Ha Noi Spring Rolls as an appetizer, they're delicious, crispy and flavorful. It's usually not very crowded when I have stopped by, so definitely give them a try!

    Some time ago, James H. sent me a list of great, cheap, date night recommendations. Well I'm finally getting around to checking out these places and kicking myself for waiting so long! The service was outstanding. On a Friday evening there was a crowd waiting at the door for a large table, but the manager was quick to seat me and Kevin P. in a booth. We sat for maybe 2 minutes gawking over our menus before a waiter appeared and was anxious to take our full order. We started off with a round of drinks. Kevin P. was happy that Guinness Extra Stout was only $4 and my Chardonnay at $7 was pretty tasty. Next up was an order of veggie spring rolls prepared with fresh cucumber, carrot, daikon and cilantro wrapped in rice paper. Seriously y'all, these are some of the best spring rolls I've ever had in Atlanta. Definitely share these because I filled up on 'em and had to take most of my dinner home in a box. For entrees, I heeded the Yelp suggestions and noshed on stuffed grape leaves with ground lamb served over vermicelli. WOW! These grape leaves were just as good (if not better) than the ones I had at Kyma. The vermicelli with veggies was tasty and I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch. Kevin P. had the fragrant rice topped with chicken and was a very happy man. Our meal ended with complimentary dessert (a little cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream) so with one drink a piece, appetizer, entrees, tax and tip we spent about $38 at Co'm. For the amount of delicious food at such reasonable prices, I think Co'm will be on our regular date night circuit. Thank you James H. The only reason I can't give Co'm 5 stars is because I haven't been to enough places on Bu-Hi to know if this is "As good as it gets." We'll be back soon for validation.

    Coming from a Vietnamese-American, who's been to Vietnam and knows real Vietnamese cuisine... this place is pretty great. I love their noodles especially with beef. Although it's a bit of a long drive (if you live in buford highway, lucky you), the food is definetly worth it. The space is nice and clean, and the service is fast and attentive. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, even those who think they don't like Vietnamese food.

    This is as good as Vietnamese gets... Try their flat vermicelli noodle with beef tenderloin and ask for the rice paper to make your own wraps. Co'm is getting more and more crowded on the weekend, so you may want to come early.

    This place is an excellent find. Well, wasn't that easy for us to find find.. we ended up turning onto Dering Circle from Buford Hwy, wondering where in the world we were. Just FYI, it's in the same complex as a Chevron, and right next to Lee's Bakery. Anyhow, this place has interesting decor, not really the typical Vietnamese restaurant look. They had utensils wrapped up in cloth napkins, the srirachi and hoisin sauce were served when the entrees came out, on a small cute sauce dish instead of in big nondescript plastic bottles. I loved the music selection ! They were playing Top 40 (only the good songs at that) with some nice remixes I had never heard. But onto the food. For appetizer we ordered the New Zealand lamb rolls. They tasted a little like the vermicelli with grilled beef that my husband ordered as his entree, but wrapped up into a nice succulent package, that you dip into fish sauce. It was delicious. About $3 or $3.50, which was a reasonable price. I really liked my husband's vermicelli bowl. The ratio of each of the ingredients was just right. I think I might order that the next time I go eat there. I got pho with beef (they don't really focus on pho here, so they don't have all the different selection of meats that you can get at dedicated pho restaurants, only eye round steak. I thought the broth was okay. Overall the pho was just okay. The one up-side I can say about it is that they gave plenty of noodles, which is a must for me! The awesome way they capped off our meal was by giving us complimentary dessert. It was a delicious coffee-ish flan with accompanying ice cream (I think some kind of walnut or pecan ice cream with chocolate??). The service was excellent as well. They were super friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly. There were some other menu items that looked interesting and not the typical Vietnamese fare. They were a bit more expensive, but maybe I will try one of them next time. In any case, we'll be back.

    Headed to Atlanta for vacation hear that there were a big influence in Vietnamese culture. So, I through it will be a great change to have some great Vietnamese food. Was I totally wrong...I try to order Pho and they said they ran out of Pho? It was 7 o'clock during dinner rush hour so I order the French Beef Au Povire. The beef was tough and sauce overly salted, I took few bites and hope the dessert will cheer me up.

    After reading all the great reviews & checking out COM's menu online, we decided to make the 45 minute trek up to Dunwoody. We love Vietnamese food, but it's often not very vegetarian-friendly. COM's menu had loads of veggie options made with tofu. YUM, right? Well, We were sorely disappointed when we were informed after we placed our order that they were completely out of tofu!!! If you are also vegetarian, I highly suggest calling ahead to make sure they are stocked up on tofu. We will not be going back.

    In terms of food quality, Co'm is certainly among the better Vietnamese establishments along the Buford corridor. However, in terms of atmosphere, I simply can't go so far as many of the other reviewers who have described this place as "upscale". Yes, it's definitely a marked upgrade from the plethora of dilapidated pho shacks nearby, but unsuspecting first time diners shouldn't come here expecting to dine in the lap of luxury - linen napkins and a health inspection score above 80 shouldn't be the determining factors for considering a place upscale. Food: Co'm sets itself apart from its competitors by serving an assortment of rice dishes and wraps in addition to the standard pho and banh mi dishes that you'll find elsewhere. During my recent lunchtime visit, I opted for the "shaking chicken lemongrass", which was essentially stir fried lemongrass-flavored chicken served over a bed of rice. The dish was flavorful, sizably portioned, and cleanly presented. I dined with a party of seven other individuals, all of whom seemed pleased with their dishes as well. Service: Attentive, accommodating, and quick. There was a several minute delay in delivering two of the dishes, but it was the peak lunch hour and we had a party of eight, so I suppose this was to be expected. Atmosphere: The interior of Co'm is not very expansive - there are approximately a dozen booths and tables. The walls are lined almost exclusively with a series of portraits featuring the same stoic looking Asian females in various positions - one can only presume that the owner is a fan of the ladies. No outside seating is available. Cost: Inexpensive for the quality and quantity of the food. Appetizers are mostly $3-$6, while entrees are $7-$15. All major credit cards are accepted. Other: Co'm is located in the same plaza as Lee's Bakery, at the intersection of Clairmont Road and Buford Highway. Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 11AM-10PM, and Sunday, 11AM-9PM. Free parking is available in the lot directly outside the plaza - however, the spots are limited and tight, so you might have to park nearby and take the short walk in.

    Com is really good and offers a variety of choices for those who do not adore pho. Normally I get the basil rolls and the grilled shrimp bun...i'm pretty predictable on that fact but I have also tried the curry chicken. Com consistently serves high-quality food and the atmosphere is much nicer than most pho joints. The service is a little slow though so make sure you factor that in if you are going there for lunch. If I'm in a hurry but still want pho, i just go down the street to Pho #1 which has much simpler cuisine but pretty much just as good.

  • David K.

    A consistently great dining experience. It's a GRILL, people. They don't serve Pho. The duck wrapped in grape leaves is awesome. If you're going with a big group and you like adventurous eating, call ahead and order the big grilled fish. It's delicious and a ton of messy fun to eat.

    Com probably has the best bun on Buford. Oh, there com dac biet is good too. My wife and I have noticed that their grilled meats have tended to be sweeter than when Com first opened. There are no weak spots on the menu. Great for a leisurely lunch or light dinner.

    Co'm Grill was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants I was introduced to in Atlanta. Unlike the plethora of pho noodle shops and handful of banh mi joints up and down Buford Highway, Co'm differentiates itself by specializing in authentic Vietnamese rolls/wraps and rice dishes. The word "co'm" means rice in Vietnamese (or "eat" depending on how you use it). Fellow neighbors Chateau de Saigon, Quan Ba 9, and Nam Phuong 2 offer similar dishes, but Co'm was the first. The restaurant is located in the same strip mall as banh mi-favorite Lee's Bakery and taco stand El Senor Taco. Co'm has a more inviting and upscale feel to it when compared to the more "adventurous" and divey Vietnamese joints along this corridor. As such, it has a larger following and more non-Asian clientele than is typical for Asian restaurants in this area. The space inside the restaurant itself is a little small and sometimes, there can be a short wait for a booth or table to open up. I've never been disappointed with a dish here. My favorite dishes include the bo la lot (beef wrapped in betel leaves), goi salad (green papaya salad), fragrant rice dishes, and rice vermicelli noodles with pork. The betel leaves (easily confused with grape leaves) are dark in color and have a firm texture. This gives the rolls an extra snap to them. You can order the betel wraps with several different kinds of meat. I personally prefer the beef. The wraps are quite juicy and flavorful and come with a light, sweet dipping sauce. Papaya salad is a popular Southeast Asian dish. The version at Co'm uses freshly sliced green papaya and green mango as its main ingredients. It's an expectedly sweet and sour, cold dish. Definitely worth a try if you've never had papaya salad before. The fragrant rice dishes come with a poached egg on top along with the meat of your choice and various diced, pickled vegetables such as carrots. The plates are both filling and appetizing. The rice vermicelli noodle dishes are served in the following manner: vegetables on bottom, clumps of thin, white noodles in the middle, and betel-leaf-wrapped meats on top sprinkled with bits of fried onion. I like the pork with my noodles. It's savory. Prices at Co'm are mostly comparable to its non-pho peers. Service is generally on point and parking is not a problem.

    AMAZING!!! Went to the taco joint next door and they had no ac on a 95 degree day. So, we went next door and man am i happy we did!!!! We started off with the duck roll and a beef roll..GREAT CHOICE...Then I had the Lobster Curry that was AMAZING and it was only $16.00!!!!!!!! Service as EXCELLENT...I highly recommend this place!

  • Dori A.

    Definitely my favorite Vietnamese in town. The whole fish is really good and fun to eat with a group. Order it the minute you sit because it takes a while. They give you lettuce wraps and herbs and veggies on the side and it is my favorite dish there. Rice vermicelli dishes are also delicious and faster if you are in and out for lunch or something. Grilled lamb grape leaves are also good. I like the papaya salad, although it is pretty hot for those that don't like it extra spicy.

    We don't normally venture out to the various eateries on Buford Highway, but decided to check this place out while we were dog/house sitting in Brookhaven and saw that it had great Yelp reviews. I'm sure glad we checked this place out! The space is nice and the restaurant has a good amount of tables for a small restaurant. We did not have to wait for a table but I could see how on a busy night this place would fill up. A very friendly server came to our table and made sure we didn't have any questions about the menu. He even upgraded my wife's wine when she ordered the house. I tried the Vietnamese beer, "33", based on a recommendation from our server and it was pretty good. We ordered the Special Combo Fried Egg Rolls and the Pork Co'm Spring Rolls. Both were really good, especially the Bang Bang Lamb Wantons...they were amazing. We split the Flat Rice Vermicelli (Banh Hoi) with grilled lamb and 5 shrimp. I don't have a lot of experience with Vietnamese food, but I loved this dish. It came with several pieces of leaf lettuce that you made wraps with. It also came with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, peanuts, and thin rice noodle pieces. The meat was very well seasoned and tasted great. The fish sauce on the side complements the meal well. The only thing that was missing was some Sriracha on the table, but to be honest the food was really good and I didn't miss it. After the meal we were pretty full considering we split an entrée, but the waiter told us to save room for a free dessert. We got some ice cream and a layered chocolate cake. It was a good sized portion considering it was a free dessert, and we both thought it was really good. Overall we really loved this place and will be back. The menu was very reasonably priced and the food was excellent. I can't wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu. Going here really makes me want to try other joints on Buford Highway...but something tells me I will be back here a few times before I venture out to other places.

    Thought this place would be much better than it was. It had a really bad smell when we walked in, but as it is with most smelly rooms, we got used to it after about ten minutes. Also, it could use a good scrub. The mini-blinds were covered in dust. The menu is creative, with French items mixed in among the traditional Viet stuff. For an app, I got the lamb grape leaves, which I had never seen before on a Vietnamese menu. They were delicious! Wife got spring rolls for her app, and she enjoyed. However, she wished for some peanut sauce to no avail. For her entree, she got her standard vermicelli dish, which she found satisfactory. The noodles were not great. I ordered traditional pho, which did not disappoint. The music was actually really good, with lots of modern dance stuff. Pretty surprising, actually. Overall, it was a good lunch. Nothing to write home about, though.

    Wonderful grape leaves stuffed with duck and extremely fresh spring rolls. Food came quickly, but there was only one other couple dining at the time. My boyfriend ordered the french salmon and shrimp and it was not that great, but my beef and chicken vermicelli was to die for!

    So I just reviewed this restaurant because I was here last Saturday and today was my third time. Today I went with family for my sister's birthday. We went for lunch and once again it was great. We had apps and entrees. We had spring rolls, grape leaf rolls and papaya salad for apps - love it!! The fish vinaigrette is very good but also get some peanut sauce. You will not be disappointed. Today I got the fragrant rice with grilled chicken - very good. I also have tried the chicken curry and wok fry filet. Everything has been great. If you like spicy ask for their chile paste. It is fabulous!! Service has always been great. Ask questions if you don't know about any of the food items -they will help and steer you to what you want. Sometimes people need to go outside of their comfort zone and experience new things.

    Work closed down at noon the day before the holiday (wooo!), so we decided it was the perfect day to go to lunch. There had been talk of pho cravings, so we made our way to Buford Highway. Com happened to be the first place we recognized and we trotted our grumbling bellies in to make sure there was something vegetarian on the menu. There was, although if you're super sensitive about fish products, you should probably be explicit about that. We split our spring roll order, one veg roll, one shrimp. They were really tasty and fresh. He had the pho, which came out in a bowl the size of a quarter of the table (okay, I'm exaggerating slightly). I had the Shaking Tofu with vermicelli, which was basically stir fry tofu. The flavor on the tofu was unique and utterly fantastic...probably some of the best seasoning I've had in a long time! The sauce that came with had fish sauce in it, so I didn't dump it on top of my stir fry. And you know what, it didn't even need it! This meal scratched that pho itch, introduced me to some of the tastiest tofu I've had in a while, and made our stomachs incredibly happy. Win, win, win.

    It looks more like a restaurant compared to its Vietnamese peers. I had pork & shrimp flat vermicelli (why is it almost twice expensive as other regular vermicelli or pho dishes?). But seriously, the dish itself can't be bad at any real Vietnamese place. The only difference I can tell is that I love their pickled mango & papaya. Maybe I'll go to a hole on the wall place, have the same yummy dish and save a few bucks for an avocado shake.

    Wow, FLAVOR. This is simple I-think-I-could-make-it-in-my-kitchen fare. But then the sauce. Oh, my, the sauce! I has the chicken over rice. It came exactly that way. The chicken was a breast cut into strips. It was very moist and cut with a fork. I also really enjoyed the tofu spring rolls. I wish more of their dishes came with tofu. Maybe I'll try the grape leaves next time. My friend got pork Pho and I tasted the broth - very salty.

    Vermicelli and rice dishes aside, there's one thing I love unequivocally about Com: their green drink. Don't look for it on the menu because I'm pretty sure you'll only find Vietnamese Cappucino, aka Cafe Sua Da, aka iced espresso with condensed milk (also very good, and it comes already mixed so you don't have to wait for the espresso press to slowly drip drip drip while you eat your meal). In any case, this Slimer-colored drink is a super-sweet coconut concoction, and I only stumbled across it by spying on another Viet family in the corner. When the waiter brought them a tray full of bright green drinks, I couldn't resist ordering a glass for myself. My mom found it too sweet, while a friend likened the taste to Captain Crunch cereal. If you're up for something new, try this tasty treat. Just don't ask me why it's green.

    Yum. I think this place should be investigated because they have to be putting something in their marinade that has me addicted. The decor is pretty blah, but who cares--with food this good I would sit in the parking lot.

    I love Com's yummy food, but I also love to poke fun at it bc it only became popular after Cliff Bostock's Creative Loafing review. The food is really fresh and they used to give you a huge plate of greens to go with it (now there is a $3 charge). It is generally cleaner and prettier than most restaurants on Buford Highway and the service is a little bit better as well. They, at least, bring your appetizers before your entrees =) The papaya and green mango salads are awesome and the chargrilled meats have great flavor. The lamb spring roll is really good as well. I love that I can eat here and not feel guilty because everything is so green, fresh, and healthy. I go here with my family and friends and they all love it. The wait staff is cute, too.

    I've been to the Com in Dunwoody several times, but I've never been to the one on Buford until this weekend. The interior isn't as nice as the one in Dunwoody. It's actually a lot smaller. I came here for a girls night out dinner and the food was excellent! I was craving the DIY wraps, so we ordered it for 4 people. Out came a huge place of lettuce leaves, herbs, thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes. Along with pancake like flat noodles and then a serving platter of meat. I was amazed at all the meat they gave us. We ordered the beef and it was well flavored with green and red peppers. Once you wrap everything together in the rice paper, the flavor is amazing! This dish can easily feed 5 girls that like to eat! We probably had 4-5 wraps each. We also ordered the Com Goi shrimp salad which was very tasty! It was mixed with apples, green mango, green papaya, veggies, and herbs. It was a crispy and light salad. I loved it! The service wasn't all that. We had to ask for refills several times and they never asked us how our food was or if we needed anything. It seemed like they were short staffed. We had 4 in our party and paid $13 per person with tax and tip. If you are craving something different, but want something hearty, then order the DIY wraps. You won't be disappointed, especially with all the meat they give you!

  • mind your b.

    This place is hidden away so if your weren't looking for it you won't find it, good thing our friend knew where he was going. Parking is difficult since the lot is small especially when you are sharing the lot with other stores. The place is small and cozy, you can almost rub elbow with the person sitting in the next table. The decor is trying to be hip and trendy with an Asian mind in design, but better than your typical Viet restaurant. I really don't know what the name of the dish was since my friend order it for us. I know we had some kind of salad that had thinly slice apple which was really good, a curry dish that was so-so because it way to sweet for a curry dish (I wouldn't order it again) and lettuce wrap you make yourself. Overall this place is pretty good for a viet restaurant and different from a pho house.

    For Vietnamese food, I believe this is as good as it gets. Located off Buford Hwy, an appropriate ethnic enclave of Asian delight, the place was easy to miss. Once inside I knew this place was going to take care of me, the lone American gringo and his friend. I order a combo type plate which was beautifully presented and lovely to eat. Quite frankly, I wasn't sure about exactly what I was eating, for some of the sides weren't my normal fair. Obviously I knew the meat I was eating. My taste for fish sauce quickly evaporates, but the taste was not overwhelming. Still, for a food adventure for Vietnamese, this place can't be beat. I really believe this is an good as it gets unless you fly to Vietnam. Sigh a nara.

    Com was Com-tastic. The meats were delicious, especially the lamb springrolls. I'm definitely going back to try more grilled goodness. HOWEVER, the crowd was atrocious. A bunch of either pissed-off, bored suburbanites or drunk, overly loud and overly made up Dunwoody dwellers. Next time, I'm going on a weeknight.

  • Eric B.

    great stuff here! miss atlanta and i started off with the grilled mussels and they were GOOOOOOOOOD! i ordered some sort of grilled chicken with rice that, honestly, wasn't so good. if i'm not mistaken, it's supposed to come with dark meat chicken, but the lady told me all they had was white meat. cool with me, as i'm trying to watch what i eat these days. they chicken was a little dry, but i can't complain about the entree as a whole, because save for the chicken everything else was phenomenal! she had a grilled pork entree that was delicious as well. a nice accompanying platter of papaya, carrots, onions, and lettuce leaves came with our meal to increase the... erm... packaging options of delivery to your stomach lol. after we were done, the waiter brought us two small pieces of tiramasu (what it had to be) on the house to finish it off. we had great service and great food. can't ask for much more out of restaurant. support your local businesses, atlanta! eric b

    Can't believe it's taken me so long to eat here. Todd's been raving about it for some time, and I've read all the great reviews. Zack was there when we arrived. Had to try the grape-leaf wrapped duck appetizer on Todd's recommendation and Zack advised me to order the grape-leaf wrapped salmon. We also had the chicken spring rolls. Everything was delicious and I didn't feel that I'd gotten pregnant during the meal, aka, belly swelling uncomfortably. The food is extremely reasonably priced - I had a glass of wine, which nearly doubled my bill, but was worth it - Echelon Shiraz - paired beautifully with the light spice of the meal. I love the layers of my dinner: julienned raw carrot, cucumber and lettuce, with rice vermicelli, topped by the grape-leaf wrapped salmon and garnished with crispy onions and peanuts, with nuoc cham on the side. The salmon was well seasoned and not overpowered by the grape leaf. All in all I huge hit for me. I will be going back.

    All in all, it isn't the best Vietnamese I have ever had, but it was definitely tasty. I would go with the Bun, which is the rice vermicelli bowl, with vermicelli noodles, greens, carrots, peanuts, and garlic, all topped off with the delicious fish sauce/broth. This is like a standard with Pho meals, and while it may not be authentic, it is definitely delicious. I ordered mine with the chicken, but I have also had the beef, and they are both scrumptious. I would recommend this place for the tastes, as well as the price; both are definitely good. It only loses one star because I have had Pho that knocked my socks off, and basically, it is hard to beat it.

    As Good As It Gets!!! Food: Vietnamese/Asian Atmosphere: I see a lot of corporate ppl eating here even though it is still a casual place Location: Corner of Buford Hwy and Clairmont Rd. (very easy to miss because they are located in a L shaped plaza at a weird angle) Price: Stuffed for under $10/person I am so thankful for yelp. I would have never found this place if it wasn't for you. Not only am I Vietnamese and forever love Viet food, I only live 15 min away from this place and did not know of its existence. Since I have, I've probably eaten here 100+ times. Never would I have thought that somebody could make com bi suong cha like my Mom. I am not saying that they do, but it is the next best thing. The pork chops are well marinated and cooked perfectly from dish to dish -- leaving the outside crisp while inside bursting with flavor. The rice is exceptionally fragrant and never dry or soggy. Their selection of bubble teas and smoothie are not as impressive as some of the other bigger viet places in the A, but nobody comes here for the drinks. The place is structurally small but the staff works well at providing quick, excellent quality service to accommodate parties of any size. I hope this place is here to stay and keeps up their progress. Recommended for all taste buds. A must!!!!

    Good Solid Vietnamese food in a cute clean setting. I had the broken rice with beef it's called the com special plate, and it was pretty good, with great prices as well. This com special plate is made up of grilled meat( you can choose from pork, beef or chicken ) it comes with this steamed egg, and a fried egg, veggies, and fish sauce.. it's definitely yummy.. and very filling.. what is nice is the place has quick solid food, and they give alot.. I was too full, I could not even finish the plate. This place can accommodate large parties, and for a Vietnamese place, it can be date friendly- alot of Vietnamese restaurants are low key, so I would never ever say it is date friendly, but this one is.. the decor is classy and nice, and the waiter can speak English, wowsers.. Definitely a place to take Vietnamese food newbies since it's not seedy and the waiters are nice.

    I had never been a big fan of Vietnamese until I tried this restaurant. Com Grille is not the typical Vietnamese restaurant with various types of Pho. Actually, they don't have pho at all. Instead, they have a very yummy green papaya, apple, green mango combination salad that you can get with either grilled shrimp, chicken, beef, lamb, etc. So far I've had it only with the grilled shrimp and it was very good. The shrimp was well seasoned and cut into small bite size pieces. The long, thinly cut unripe fruit added great firm, but not crispy, texture to the salad without adding too much to the flavor. The dressing was mildly sweet. Thin, stringy onion rings were on top of the salad. All these ingredient mixed together made a very fresh and tasty combination salad enough as an appetizer for two. If you don't get the salad then I would recommend one of the grape leave wraps. You can choose from beef, chicken, lamb, tofu, etc. So far I've had the lamb and beef. Both were very good. They kind of look like grape leaf egg rolls. The flavor of the meats in the rolls were excellent. Also enough for two as an appetizer. For the main dish I have only ordered the flat rice vermicelli with beef with rice paper wraps. You will get a plate of rice vermicelli fried together into cut pancake-like structure with cooked, semi-sweet marinated beef. You will also get a separate plate of fresh vegetables and herbs such as cilantro, basil, mint, red leaf lettuce, etc. Put a little bit of each item in a rice paper wrap and you have yourself a very fresh and tasty summer roll that you can dip in the sweet chili sauce they give you. Delicious! This dish is enough for two. If you are looking for something somewhat light, fresh, filling, and very tasty this is the place to go.

    A friend brought me to Com insisting I would like it and she was right! The food is so fresh and yummy! This is the place for you if you enjoy flavorful, fresh, light fare and something a little different. My favorites were the chicken pancake rice vermicelli and the lamb grape leaves, simply to die for!

    COM is a small, casual, but nice Vietnamese restaurant on Buford highway. There's another location in Dunwoody which supposedly has a bigger menu, but I've never been. The food here is really outstanding. Vietnamese is one of my favorite Asian cuisines, and COM is an excellent example of why. The dishes are usually chock full of fresh ingredients like sprouts, cucumbers, basil, fish, shrimp, etc. Strong flavors, all at the peak of freshness. Couple that with simple yet tasty sauces and cooked meats over fragrant rice and practically any dish is a winner. The menu has very little English on it. Fortunately there are some pictures. The wait staff will gladly help you out with choices as well.

    This is probably the best Vietnamese food I've had ever, anywhere, and I've been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. The prices are mostly very reasonable, too. The so-called "flat noodle" dishes are comparatively pricey, but most entrees are under eight bucks, and pretty good-sized portions. The pork is particularly wonderful. They don't have a lot of the traditional dishes, like pho, on the menu, but what they do have is all excellent. The good news is that if you're in the neighborhood and you want something more traditional, you only have to go a few blocks to get it.

    I've always enjoyed this restaurant but am curious whether the ownership has changed. The website above goes to comgrill.com which used to show two locations - Dunwoody and Buford Hwy. Now it only shows Dunwoody. I emailed the address on the website and they said they are not associated with the restaurant on Buford Hwy. What happened?

    Grilled dishes are the star at this Vietnamese restaurant on Buford Highway. Beef spring rolls and squares of flat rice vermicelli with smoky meat and bright herbs never fail to satisfy and won't leave you feeling guilty. They've opened a new location in Dunwoody, but the original is the better of the two.

  • Chuan S.

    What is up? A Vietnamese place with no pho and no peanut sauce. Honestly, I don't know what this world is coming to. I tried two separate dishes of meat (chicken and pork) sitting on top of soft rice noodle patties that was supposed to be wrapped in lettuce or rice paper with veggie likes diced cucumber, carrots, and radish. It was definitely pretty fun and cool to sit around and make wraps. The rice paper had to dipped in hot water before you could use it to make rolls. It was kind of tricky and easier to do with two hands. I think they should off just used a wide plate so you can dip the whole rice paper in one shot. I preferred wrapping my rolls with lettuce since it gives the roll a fresh embrace of crispy texture. I had a fried spring roll with shrimp and pork fillings. It surprised me to see a whole shrimp in a fried spring roll. Never seen it prepared like that and I have had a lot of them. Also tried some fried sugar cane shrimp which was shrimp meat wrapped around sugar cane and fried. This shrimp was actually not that good and tasted kind of weird. The rice noodle with pork dish was pretty good. I liked the fish sauce and I used it on everything. No pho at this joint though. The definitely needed some peanut sauce for the rolls. Maybe I will give them 4 stars if they start serving peanut sauce with their Vietnamese wraps.

    I ate the Dunwoody location for lunch for the first time yesterday. I am a little embarrassed to say that since I live within walking distance. Anyway, I was blown away with how wonderful it was.

It's great that they use New Zealand lamb too. The menu is extensive and there are so many dishes I want to try from here. Service is really good in this casual restaurant and ambiance is relaxing and clean. They are really organized here and can handle a large group. Definitely a Buford favorite!

    Love this place. Now let me tell you, this isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurants. You know, the dirty cafeteria feel, in and out & quick bite type places. This place feels NICE (bring a date!), feels clean, and the service is just wonderful. The rice dishes are are some of the best in ATL - awesome (and authentic) flavors but the portions are a bit smaller than your typical place ( not small enough to disappoint you ). And WHAT? You get free dessert during dinners? SERIOUS? YES SIR. THIS MY ISH RIGHT HUR

    What all da habbub, bud? Err... Came here with a buddy that was in town before looking it up on yelp, so I had no expectations. After looking it up and thinking it over, I can't see why this place is so highly regarded. I came and felt obligated to order some com dia because well the friggin place is called com so I got the grilled lamb... Da meal.... - what the hell is all this green stuff on my rice? They threw on some unidentifiable stir fried veg. all over my rice. - Where mah pickled dikon and carrots, bro? - Can't a brotha get some bi (the shredded pork skin, damn i love this stuff)?! - The last straw was my overcooked egg - my cha was only okay and not very memorable. - The lamb had a nice charcolly flavor if thats what floats your boat. - Oh, I randomly had a small pile of char siu on mah plate. Wish there was more. I don't like getting teased. Don't tempt a fat man. My GF got the lemon grass and chilli pepper chicken only I think they substituted spicy for extra salt. My friends left hungry. "What the hell is wrong with the porkchop, its so small." Pretty much sums up the com bi xuon chung.

    so, i heard from people that this resto serves good foooood and checked on yelp, it got 4 stars rating. It made me wanna try. why not? right? we went here party of 7 people for dinner. it's busy but okay the server told us to wait for 5mins but we ended wait for table for at least 20mins. there're several few empy tables but because somebody reserved it so the server couldnt give it to us. (this part really the only thing that brought the stars down!) long story short, we ordered different types of dishes so we can try stuff. my favs: the salad with salmon, veggie spring rolls, and the rice dish w/ shredded pork and lemongrass seasoned chicken. come for dinner n u'll get free matcha ice cream! it was delishhhhh..... the atmosphere is really different than any casual vietnamese resto u ever went. this resto has a really nice ambient. that's all i can say.

    My friend wanted to meet here for our girlie dinner date. I have been to so many different Vietnamese places that going here didn't excite me. I had trouble finding this place because it doesn't stand out from the road or anything and is hidden in a tiny shopping center. Very limited parking and kind of tight spaces. The atmosphere was much nicer than most Vietnamese places I've been to and the decor was very nice. They were quick to seat us and give us menus. I ordered spring rolls and a vermicelli dish. The spring rolls came out quickly and tasted very fresh. I loved the vermicelli! The vegetables were fresh and the pork was cooked very well and had a good flavor to it. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. I read a few Yelp reviews after and now want to go back and get a rice dish. Mmm...now I am dreaming of spring rolls!

    This place leads you into the idea that they are authentic but everything has been Americanized! Everything had sugar added from the fish sauce, papaya salad and pho. When we asked why everything was so sweet, the waiter confirmed that the American customers like it. If you walk into an ethnic restaurant and other than the wait staff being Asian you should probably leave.

    First time for lunch with RayRay the other day. This place is much more up to date and clean than some of the other Buford highway options, so the ambiance is definitely above average for the location. It is in the same shopping center as Lee's Bakery and a stone's throw from Havana so it's no wonder it took so long for us to try this place because we are normally lured into Lee's for their amazing pho and grilled pork bahn mi sammies. This place should NOT be overlooked however because it's also pretty damn awesome. We had their spring rolls which were packed full of super fresh herbs and served with a tasty dipping sauce. I actually like their spring roll's better than the ones at Lee's. I had rice vermicelli with grilled shrimp and RayRay had the same with chicken. My only complaint is that the shrimp were really small, but there were enough of them for it to be an appropriate portion for lunch. Otherwise the shrimp were tasty and well seasoned with a discernible "grilled" flavor that is really nice. The vermicelli is served with shredded fresh veggies and a super light "dressing" that was a nice blend of sweet and savory. All very good and a great value for around $20 for lunch. We will be back! :)

    Traditional Vietnamese dishes at its finest! Loved the Vietnamese broken rice. These aren't your typical Jasmine rice served in your everyday Asian restaurant. I haven't had this in a looooong time since I moved from California to Chicago. I was in heaven. I ordered the thit bo luc lac, which roughly translates to shaking beef... over rice. Sorry to disappoint you, but the beef does NOT shake. It's simply named after the shaking of the wok when you cook it. The rice dish came with a side of salt, pepper, and lime dipping sauce (muoi tieu chanh), which you'd dip the cube-shaped beef in. It was delicious, if not a little salty... This is where if my dad was there, he'd joked "They killed a man last night (the salt truck driver)." (It's funnier heard in Chinese). The beef sits on top of a bed of lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. I ended up asking for more slices of cucumbers and tomatoes as it was too salty for me. Then, to my surprise, they brought me a complimentary slice of dessert... Chocolaty and coffee flavored. Yum! You can tell that it's been sitting in the fridge as the plate was cold. But who cares, it was free and delicious! Now, since I usually travel to Atlanta for work, I took a cab out to this place from downtown. BAD IDEA! Just a warning: you can't get a cab to pick you up from this restaurant to go back downtown. It's impossible! I was lucky that the owner offered me a ride back to the city. As this was the case, I don't think I'll be going back to the restaurant anytime soon if I don't have a guaranteed ride back to my hotel. And well, there goes my idea of an adventure trip out of downtown Atlanta to find Asian restaurants.

    I was here the other night with the boyfriend. We were here around 8ish on a Friday night. It was semi pack. I ordered the mango/papaya salad with lamb meat. I was skeptical because whenever I have lamb meat, the meat usually has a strong odor. At co'm grill, I didn't smell anything and it was very good. We finish this dish pretty fast. My boyfriend ordered the beef wrapped in grape leaves because that is one of his favorite dish. It was soft and chewy (like expected) and very fragrant. We also ordered the vermicelli dish with shrimp and chicken. We opt out of rolling our own spring rolls so instead we just used the lettuce. It was delicious! The meat was tender and soft, not dry like most grilled chicken. The shrimp was also very good! Overall, our experience was really good! The service was phenomenal! I enjoy it very much! The wait staff and manager was always checking if we had a good meal. Being a waitress before, I enjoy having the same treatment I give out. Kudos to them! The last thing that made our dinner even better was that we were offered complimentary desserts! We got green tea ice cream and mango cakes. It was very good! All in all, give this place a try! It's definitely worth the money!

    My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta. Many of the dishes served here are pretty unique. You must try the grape leaves stuffed with duck. The leaves have a crunchy smoked flavor and the duck filling is perfectly juicy. My favorite dish is the mixture of herbs and salad with noodles and bbq pork. Pour a tumbler of the fish sauce on top and you'll fall in love! I always think I'll never finish the entire bowl and I always do - scraping up the last dollops of sauce and wishing there was more. The atmosphere is tranquil and the service is always friendly and very professional. Love this place.

    Had the grilled shrimp vermicelli. Good portion. Particularly liked their sweet version of fish vinaigrette that went with it. Friends and I arrived around 630pm and the place was practically empty but it quickly filled up by 7pm. They also gave free dessert after dinner.

    You GUYS. I absolutely adore this place. I've been here countless times, on dates, on girls nights, by myself, whenever. This is my go to place for an affordable special occasion. Return from a business trip? Check. Catching up with my best friend? Check. I even came here for a birthday with 10 other people, and the waitstaff was so friendly and patient. The food is delicious. My absolute favorite dish is the Rice Vermicelli with beef or lamb. I love the "new" additions to their menu too. I've been hopping around, trying new things the last few times I've been. Everything is still great, especially for the price. I really can't recommend this place enough.

    My husband and I are C'om regulars. What's not to love about this place? Every single ingredient tastes unbelievably fresh. We always order the special c'om, which is - you guessed it - their specialty. It's a fantastic display of vietnamese cuisine: white rice rests beneath teriyaki-marinated beef (or any other protein of your choosing), fresh sliced cucumbers, shrimp meatloaf, shredded carrots, a fried egg and other tasty treats. Pour some fish sauce over the whole thing, mix it all up, and you've got yourself a flavorful and hugely filling dinner. We went last week with my foodie best friend from NYC, who ordered bánh hoi, her regular Vietnamese choice. The dish consists of flattened rice vermicelli noodles that you place on pieces of lettuce and layer with fresh herbs, beef and the same fresh vegetables in the special c'om. Basically, they're Vietnamese lettuce wraps. She said it was the best bánh hoi she'd ever had - and that means a lot coming from someone who believes the best of everything is in NYC. For dinner, C'om throws in complimentary dessert and it's actually good. The dessert is the right size, consisting of a small piece of mocha cake for each patron and a scoop of ice cream - usually coffee or mocha flavored. It's the perfect way to end the meal and annihilate post-dinner sweet tooth. The food isn't the only thing that's near perfect at C'om. We have never had bad service there, no matter who our waiter was. They're friendly, attentive and quick to bring out orders. It's what seals the deal and gives this place its well-deserved fifth star.

    The place was very nice and we had great service. The reason for the 3 stars is the food was solid, but I felt we could have gotten better Viet food from Buford Hwy for much cheaper and nothing we ate had a great twist on it....just saying.

    Com Grill is my go to place when I am craving Vietnamese vermicelli noodles. The noodles are perfectly cooked, ingredients are fresh, protein grilled to perfection, and the fish sauce/vinaigrette flavorful. My favorite is the vermicelli noodles with shrimp egg rolls. Many of my friends order the grilled pork or shrimp as well. I have tried several other appetizers and entrees at Com Grill, which were good. However, in my opinion, their vermicelli noodle dishes are the rock stars at this restaurant. Although located in a small strip mall/plaza, parking has never been an issue. Service is always great and the food comes out quickly. For dinner, they even provide a free dessert.

    Found this on Yelp and the rating on Yelp was on-point. Went her with my wife on Friday evening. Very busy spot but the service was quick and the food was very good. Several options and then free dessert.

    Had a perfect first-time experience on a Monday for lunch. Our server had great suggestions for my husband and I had the usual- pho. The Crispy pork spring roll...perfect. Great pho broth. Awesome flounder/rice/salad dish. Pleasant atmosphere. I go to Lee's bakery next door almost everyday and El Señor Taco, can't believe I waited so long to come here. A new/old favorite!

    We came for the first time on a Saturday night and were able to be seated immediately. Our host was super sweet and laid on the charm, which I appreciated and made me laugh. We had about 4 different servers over the course of our meal, they were all attentive and very considerate. We had shrimp spring rolls and lamb grape rolls for an appetizer. The shrimp spring rolls were ok, nothing too different or stand outish from most other spring rolls. the lamb grape rolls were delicious! I've only had Mediterranean style grape rolls and don't love them but decided I would give these a try. They are definitely not the Mediterranean style. These are filled to the brim with just lamb and spices (as opposed to just being filled with rice) and the grape rolls are surrounded by an assortment of pickled vegetables. Very good and would definitely get these again. We then split the bun with "famous grilled grounded pork" and the Saigon shaking mignon with black peppered sauce. The bun was like most others I've had, fresh and light. The famous grilled grounded pork was not what I was expecting. I was pretty much just thinking it would be ground pork but this was ground pork that was then shaped into sausages and then grilled. It was different and definitely delicious. I'm used to shaky beef with just beef and onions but this one had spinach and tomatoes as well. It was good but i will probably try something new next time just to try more variety. Free dessert of chocolate almond ice cream and raspberry cake (asian style- so it's very light and not very sweet) This may be my new favorite in-town sit down Vietnamese restaurant (other than Dua downtown- which will always have a special place in my heart just because it's so close to work)

    Came here based on Yelp reviews. We have tried Vietnamese food before, and this did not disappoint. Food was fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced. Décor / ambience was ok, but service was very good. The waiter answered all of our questions patiently and followed-up to make sure we liked everything. The stand-out items were the basil spring rolls with lemongrass ground pork, and the special fragrant rice with pork, shrimp, and egg. The free dessert was absolutely delicious! Side note: for those of you who drink beer, skip the Vietnamese beer. It wasn't too good.

  • Heather N.

    Service is spot on here-very friendly and accomodating. Flat noodles were like a pancake of delicious, chewy thin rice vermicelli. Pork was just ok and the shrimp were pretty much inedible-chewy and tasted frozen. If I go again, will try the rice with ribs... Cheers~

    If you want wonderful vietnamese food, C'om is a must. The space is basic but can get very crowded because the food is consistently good. My wife and I shared the shrimp basil rolls which were outstanding. In fact, we liked them so much we ordered a second appetizer. She then ordered the fish salad which she devoured. I had the b'un (vermicelli noodles) with shrimp which was delicious. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. We have added C'om to our regular rotation of restaurants.

  • Teresa L.

    I ordered the basil rolls with shrimp and grilled shrimp bun (rice vermicelli under a salad and grilled shrimp, with a side of fish sauce). The food was so fresh and healthy that I didn't feel guilty about eating everything. The prices are so fantastic. This restaurant is a little hard to find. It is in a tiny strip shopping center behind a gas station on Buford Highway. It looks a little shady from the outside, but it is clean and nice inside. I returned the next day with my mother and I had bun again, but with salmon grape leaves. I don't recommend the salmon grape leaves. They were kind of spongy and they don't have much salmon flavor. I'm still giving the restaurant 5 stars because the food is so fresh and reasonably priced and the service is outstanding.

  • Travis F.

    Came here looking for some quick take out and decided to sit down to eat there. Great decision. Got the bun with grape leaf wrapped duck, and the duck was great. When I finished, my server brought out a tiramisu dessert with ice cream. On the house. What the what?! When I went to pay, the manager came over to shake my hand and thank me for coming. Great experience overall, definitely coming back with my fiancé as she's gonna be ticked when she hears about this and that I went without her.

    Taste explosion in your mouth! They have amazing beef ribs, and the fried egg that comes with it is perfection! The rice that comes with the ribs is not my favorite, but I always order a lamb vermicelli dish to go with it. The lamb is flavored so strongly, it's like a kick-in-the-mouth, in a good way. It goes well with the light taste of vermicelli that I like to drown in fish sauce. Definitely a different kind of Viet meal if you're used to just eating pho. They also give you a free mocha dessert every time :)

    Vietnamese/American restaurant. Was not impressed with the spring rolls. It was made with grilled meat instead of the traditional steamed pork & shrimp & only came with nuoc mam (fish sauce vinaigrette). I loooove nuoc mam but I prefer the hoisin peanut sauce with my spring rolls. BUT!!! The com tam bi thit cha dac biet was one of the best I've ever had! So that's where the 4 stars goes too.

    Upscale Vietnamese that draws the Emory/Dunwoody/Buckhead women to Chamblee. I stumbled on this place in the first week of business, years ago. They were having a time getting their liquor license and just weren't ready. Even then, I could see the promise of a great place. Then, Atlanta magazine wrote them up and the crowds flocked in. They are still coming in droves every day. The decor runs that nice balance that makes you feel good if you arrive in shorts but you could take a Druid Hills woman here on a date. There are always women having business lunches and social time here as well as men in business/casual attire. The inside is a small dining area that has some tables that are easily pulled together for groups and booths with more comfortable seating. The bathrooms are large and clean. The menu has a new look. The old, colorful artsy menus were hard to read and getting ragged so they've gone to a simpler, less expensive format that really works for me. Looks like all the same great stuff without the confusing presentation. Today, I was listening to group at the table next to me and they could have used some pictures to help pick out their meals. The staff is always friendly and quick for me but my friends find them distant. Occasionally, usually when I'm in here with a date, they'll be a little too forward about trying to go for the up sale, especially on alcohol. Everything that I've tried over the years is great. The food has good presentation, consistency and quality. I particularly like the grapes leaves stuffed with duck or lamb over the flats of rice noodles. It comes with a big plate of greenery to make lettuce wraps. Yummy, filling, refined flavors that are good for you and quite affordable at $15. I've tried a couple of the appetizer salads and they are great, too. By the way , this is a great place for the gluten-free, dairy free diner... If you'd like to get more authentic Vietnamese without venturing into the uncomfortable authenticity of Pho#000, this is about as good as it gets.

    Thanks to reviews by Daniel B & Kathleen M below, I went here, and am glad I did. Real fine quality and great prices. My wife doesn't eat meat and she had plenty to choose from, and the owner was very accommodating and helped us order, and make our plates. Look forward to returning, hopefully soon.

    Glad to have come here for lunch today - it wasn't crowded and service was prompt and courteous. We ordered 3 dishes to share. Started with their fresh signature salad sans protein. The combo of apple, green papaya and green mango mixed with fish vinaigrette was a delightful "burst of fresh" in the mouth; would've liked them to go easy on the dressing next time. For entrees we went for the filet mignon with peppered sauce under the Shaking Wok Fry category, and the Bun (rice vermicelli) with grilled chicken and shrimp. Peppered sauce was appetizing but I found the beef a bit too chunky and taste of the meat "beefy". My lunch companion didn't have that issue and finished that dish. The grilled chicken and shrimp were delivered with excellence - not over-done and both were so tender. The vermicelli itself was a bit too sticky but with the fish sauce, it was ok. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert complete with a small striped candle to celebrate America's birthday, as was put to us. What a nice touch! I can't say they're typical of Vietnamese restaurants I've visited - what happened to the delicious claypot catfish? Not on Com's menu :( Still we enjoyed our meal and may come back to taste the duck grapeleaf rolls.

    Didn't get a chance to rate their food as their disorganized service never got me seated. Having shown up and been told the wait would be 20-30 minutes, they asked for my name & number saying they'd call me once a table was available. Despite the fact the restaurant had no Asian faces (a quick litmus test of authenticity in my mind), I decided to give it a try and mentally signed up for the wait. Went next door for a drink as the Co'm bar was full. I never got a call back and won't bother returning.

    Three words: Bo La Lot. Or Beef wrapped in betel leaves, grilled to pure yumminess! Me and my friends go here to fulfill our Bo La Lot cravings quite often, and Com Grill does the job well. You can order it as an appetizer or as entrees with Bun (noodles) or Banh Hoi (flat vermicelli sheets) It's located in Buford Hwy and it is tucked away in a corner in the same plaza as Lee's Bakery. There are many other grilled options to choose from on the menu such as shrimp, pork, and beef. This place is perfect for lunch alone, or with a couple friends. If you do decide to eat solo, you have not one...but two flatscreen TV's to entertain you with haha Their service is good, and normally pretty fast. It's a small restaurant, but it's nice. Definitely recommend it for lunch!

    Yes please, all the time everything on the menu. Yes. Please. Let me say this. If you are talking with someone about Co'm and they dont like it, you can go ahead and walk away because they obviously have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Ive never had a bad dish here, ever.

  • Brian P.

    This place is mixed for one great meal, one average meal, one not so great meal. And no Pho. All in all, it's worth trying because some of their dishes were authentic and very good. Avoid the beef it was tough.

  • David F.

    One of Buford Hwy's best hidden gems, Co'm brings tasty lamb dishes, served with huge portions of fresh vegetables like mint. Just don't come and expect a bowl of pho, though. I usually get the com with lamb -- sweetened rice topped with shredded lettuce and cucumber and mint, topped with absolutely delicious grilled lamb tenderloin. It's served with a side of sweet and spicy fish sauce, which you can add to your liking. They serve beer and wine -- try the "33" for a traditional beer. The staff is super-attentive. Be adventurous and let them guide your dining experience. Prices are not "pho-cheap", but the aforementioned dinner dish is a respectable $8 considering you could easily share it if you added an appetizer.

    Surprisingly elegant atmosphere, friendly service, and deft preparation of Vietnamese classics makes Co'm a family favorite in Atlanta. The food is consistently excellent and satisfying and a great introduction to the fragrant rice and noodle dishes of VN. Particular dishes we recommend: grilled chicken and spring roll bun as well as the grilled lemongrass and beef co'm.

    Great place. I didn't know anything about this place until last Thursday. This place was recommended by the lady at Lee's Bakery after I came in while they were closing. All I can say is this place is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. It was a good introduction to Vietnamese cuisine for my friend who never had it before. She enjoyed it so much, she requested (more like demanded) to go back today before she head to the airport. The first time I ordered the rice vermicilli special combo with grilled pork while my friend ordered the fragrant rice combo with grilled chicken. I was kinda bummed I ordered the rice vermicilli after trying my friend's dish but, i did get it the next visit. I'll just come back just for the rice.

    Grilled. Vietnamese. Meat. So delicious. The meat is fresh, smoky and delicious. The vermicelli dishes are fun (with rice paper wraps) but the plain rice plates are half as much. The appetizers are pretty small, but for $3, they're not bad for just yourself or to share with another. Their portion sizes are not consistent, but it borders on just enough to a lot. This isn't really a bad thing in my opinion. Rice paper wraps are available for $1.50 or so if you want to make your vermicelli dishes into spring rolls.

    I love Co'm and have loved it from day one. Somehow, they slipped off my rotation of frequent eateries, and I have been neglecting them. Not anymore! I stopped in yesterday for some appetizers to take to a boxing day celebration...and what a hit! The grape leaves appetizer (i got duck, lamb and beef) was just as delicious as i remembered. The grape leaves impart a wonderful smokiness and the meat is savory with a wee hint of spice. All are served with shredded lettuce, carrots, radish and fried onion....very easy to toss on a serving platter and voila.....yummy party treats! Co'm is back in the speed dial!

    I am smitten with this place. OK, the beautiful, friendly young waitress made it better, but seriously, this was a great experience. The place is easy to miss coming from the north, being tucked in a tight little strip on a hill. All signage is in English. We were quickly greeted and shown to our clean, marble-topped table (semi-booth). The interior is cozy, gently lit, attractive and relatively new, with panelling, laminated floor, and a few Asian prints on the wall. Cloth napkins, real utensils and long oval app plates marked our places. A very soothing atmosphere overall. Our menus came to us turned to the first page, which features enticing media reviews. Strangely (for Buford Highway), I saw no Asians eating the food. I really have to say a few words about the staff because they were such a nice part of the experience. We had two attractive young people serving us. Their English was perfect, their friendliness was genuine and infectious without being intrusive, they were completely knowledgeable and helpful with the food choices, and they were attentive. I honestly can't remember having a more enjoyable service, ever. Dinner started with goi salad. Pick your fruit and protein, or get the mixed fruit and pick your protein. We had mango and grilled salmon. Veggies were matchstick size, making chopsticks easier to use. Salmon was in little bits, but a good amount to flavor without overwhelming. The sweet and peppery fish sauce and crushed peanuts on top sealed the deal. These salads are on the CL 100 Things to Eat Before You Die, and I can see why: I could eat this stuff all day long. And I'm not even a salmon lover. (or even a salad lover) For appetizer, we split the duck in grapeleaves. The grapeleaves had just enough bitterness to make it not invisible. The duck meatballs were hearty and had a little more robust version of the fish sauce on it. If you have a few extra bucks to drop, they definitely deserve a try. For entrees, we split the pork bun (rice vermicelli and matchstick vegetables, with fish sauce) and the beef with fragrant rice (with assorted crispy vegetables and fish sauce). The pork bun was a huge portion, but light. The grilled and marinated meat had plenty of flavor and the dish was reminiscent of mu shu pork without all the oil and heaviness. The beef had a deep, smoky richness from the marinade and grill. It was slightly chewy, but in a way that made me feel well fed because it made it seem more substantial. We were surprised by a complimentary desert of small, yummy mocha cakes. Although it was little and light in an airy, marshmallow kind of way, the flavor was really present and I was able to slow down and savor a portion that I could otherwise eat in a single bite. Getting food this good, service this good, prices this good (sometimes bordering on ridiculous) and an atmosphere this good, I could not give this place less than five stars. See you all there soon!

    The first time my wife and I went, we were greeted right away and seated and served quickly. I think the host spotted that it was our first time and offered us a tea one the house. He also had a great sense of humor. The food was fantastic. I've have been to my fair share of Vietnamese restaurants. Everything we ordered, was better than what I had had before. The free desert was a nice finish too. The host also mentioned they change it every month. It wasn't but week later we returned and found that the same great service from other servers etc. Also, they seem to constantly have the food network on, so you can get hungiererer while you wait.

    Co'm, Sweet Co'm. This is my favorite restaurant in the universe. Yes, the universe, and I've been around. I've searched for succulent spring rolls and nuoc cham that I could drink straight up in the 9 months that I've lived in New York, and I just cannot stop comparing everything to Co'm. I was just in Atlanta for 4 nights, and I ate here 3 times. For all non-pho Viet dishes, this place is still THE BEST. The DIY rice vermicelli wraps are as amazing as ever, and the service is still top notch. I swear I won't be able to stop dreaming of their shrimp/flounder summer rolls for weeks to come. I'm already imagining sipping their nuoc cham out of a damn martini glass. Maybe chugging it through a beer bong, even. If only I could click my heels and say, "There's no place like Co'm, there's no place like Co'm"....

  • Michael L.

    I know, I'm a late one in trying this place- came here last night, and we had the following: 1) Chicken spring roll- The roll itself was packed in tightly, which was nice- it didn't fall apart after taking a bite into it. However, the 'Chicken' was rather sparse, and took the form of bits and crumbs of fried chicken tenders- with more 'fried' than chicken- it tasted more like a lettuce spring roll. Score: 2.5 2) Vermicelli with grilled shrimp- The grilled shrimp was flavored very well, though they weren't exactly fresh. This dish lives and dies by the sauce you pour over it to flavor it. If you don't pour enough, it tastes bland- if you pour too much, you get overly sweet noodle soupiness. My wife was looking for something hot- but this came out a bit lukewarm. Expected, but still. Score: 3 3) Fragrant rice with pork, pickled vegetables, and short ribs- This dish was pretty good- again, you've got to be careful how much/little sauce you pour over the rice. I have to say however that their rendition of short ribs was AWESOME. They were thinly-cut (which makes chewing a lot easier), with rich sweet flavor, with a slightly peppery kick! Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Korean BBQ joints picked up on this and made it a flavoring option for their kalbi. Score for short ribs- 4.5 Score for the rest- 3.5 Yes, I know the sum of the scores don't average out to a 4, but I think this place is worth coming back to every now and then. Especially for a slight kick in the (short) ribs....haw haw. (sorry I had to) Oh, and the complimentary mousse cake thingy was nice- tasted a bit dry, but it's free! Overall score: 3.5

  • Jang C.

    Very tasty food. Their short ribs in their crushed rice plates rival some the best Korean restaurants' Kalbi. They season their stuff well. Although I think they do season their buns (rice vermicelli) a bit too spicy. It's still good though. I think there were a couple of yelpers when I went. I heard them talking about stuff in the reviews. Not to mention they were being food snobs. ;) Anyway, I can't give these guys 5 stars. Why? Because like I mentioned earlier, they season their bun too strong. They make their portions a bit small. I would need to order a second entree to fill me up. Also their food didn't blow me away. It was tasty, but not super awesome. Even though their portions were small, they're cheap so you can afford to order 2 dishes by yourself. It's a great budget food place. Another good alternative is to order their great spring rolls. Additionally, they get points for their service. They take down and wipe the tables very fast. People are friendly. Also they gave us free dessert, and the dessert was pretty good. Maybe they knew we were yelpers and was bribing a 5 star rating. ;) I'm just kidding, I think on that day we went, they were giving free desserts for some reason. If yelp had 1/2 stars I would definitely give this place a 4.5 stars. But I can't give 5 stars. Something was missing. Nevertheless, it's a great place to go. I highly recommend it.

    Very glad we stopped here on the way to Atlanta Farmers Market. I'm normally put off by large oversized photos of food plastered onto restaurant windows, but the rave reviews we saw here beforehand had me overlooking any pixelated closeups of half-authentic samples. Let me just say - OUTSTANDING grape leaves. Amazing spring roll, and very nice tea. Naturally sweet. Good stuff. Got the ta'm dac biêt, the Fragrant Rice Dish fan fave with fried egg. Which by the way can I add that ANYTHING is pretty much better with over-medium egg? Rice, burgers, burritos, hash browns, you name it. BONUS: We were totally surprised with complimentary valentines day cake after our meal! Did not expect that. Very cool people here.

    This place is hidden away so if your weren't looking for it you won't find it, good thing our friend knew where he was going. Parking is difficult since the lot is small especially when you are sharing the lot with other stores. The place is small and cozy, you can almost rub elbow with the person sitting in the next table. The decor is trying to be hip and trendy with an Asian mind in design, but better than your typical Viet restaurant. I really don't know what the name of the dish was since my friend order it for us. I know we had some kind of salad that had thinly slice apple which was really good, a curry dish that was so-so because it way to sweet for a curry dish (I wouldn't order it again) and lettuce wrap you make yourself. Overall this place is pretty good for a viet restaurant and different from a pho house.

    For Vietnamese food, I believe this is as good as it gets. Located off Buford Hwy, an appropriate ethnic enclave of Asian delight, the place was easy to miss. Once inside I knew this place was going to take care of me, the lone American gringo and his friend. I order a combo type plate which was beautifully presented and lovely to eat. Quite frankly, I wasn't sure about exactly what I was eating, for some of the sides weren't my normal fair. Obviously I knew the meat I was eating. My taste for fish sauce quickly evaporates, but the taste was not overwhelming. Still, for a food adventure for Vietnamese, this place can't be beat. I really believe this is an good as it gets unless you fly to Vietnam. Sigh a nara.

    Com was Com-tastic. The meats were delicious, especially the lamb springrolls. I'm definitely going back to try more grilled goodness. HOWEVER, the crowd was atrocious. A bunch of either pissed-off, bored suburbanites or drunk, overly loud and overly made up Dunwoody dwellers. Next time, I'm going on a weeknight.

    great stuff here! miss atlanta and i started off with the grilled mussels and they were GOOOOOOOOOD! i ordered some sort of grilled chicken with rice that, honestly, wasn't so good. if i'm not mistaken, it's supposed to come with dark meat chicken, but the lady told me all they had was white meat. cool with me, as i'm trying to watch what i eat these days. they chicken was a little dry, but i can't complain about the entree as a whole, because save for the chicken everything else was phenomenal! she had a grilled pork entree that was delicious as well. a nice accompanying platter of papaya, carrots, onions, and lettuce leaves came with our meal to increase the... erm... packaging options of delivery to your stomach lol. after we were done, the waiter brought us two small pieces of tiramasu (what it had to be) on the house to finish it off. we had great service and great food. can't ask for much more out of restaurant. support your local businesses, atlanta! eric b

    Definitely my favorite Vietnamese in town. The whole fish is really good and fun to eat with a group. Order it the minute you sit because it takes a while. They give you lettuce wraps and herbs and veggies on the side and it is my favorite dish there. Rice vermicelli dishes are also delicious and faster if you are in and out for lunch or something. Grilled lamb grape leaves are also good. I like the papaya salad, although it is pretty hot for those that don't like it extra spicy.

  • Melissa B.

    Com is really good and offers a variety of choices for those who do not adore pho. Normally I get the basil rolls and the grilled shrimp bun...i'm pretty predictable on that fact but I have also tried the curry chicken. Com consistently serves high-quality food and the atmosphere is much nicer than most pho joints. The service is a little slow though so make sure you factor that in if you are going there for lunch. If I'm in a hurry but still want pho, i just go down the street to Pho #1 which has much simpler cuisine but pretty much just as good.

    Can't believe it's taken me so long to eat here. Todd's been raving about it for some time, and I've read all the great reviews. Zack was there when we arrived. Had to try the grape-leaf wrapped duck appetizer on Todd's recommendation and Zack advised me to order the grape-leaf wrapped salmon. We also had the chicken spring rolls. Everything was delicious and I didn't feel that I'd gotten pregnant during the meal, aka, belly swelling uncomfortably. The food is extremely reasonably priced - I had a glass of wine, which nearly doubled my bill, but was worth it - Echelon Shiraz - paired beautifully with the light spice of the meal. I love the layers of my dinner: julienned raw carrot, cucumber and lettuce, with rice vermicelli, topped by the grape-leaf wrapped salmon and garnished with crispy onions and peanuts, with nuoc cham on the side. The salmon was well seasoned and not overpowered by the grape leaf. All in all I huge hit for me. I will be going back.

    All in all, it isn't the best Vietnamese I have ever had, but it was definitely tasty. I would go with the Bun, which is the rice vermicelli bowl, with vermicelli noodles, greens, carrots, peanuts, and garlic, all topped off with the delicious fish sauce/broth. This is like a standard with Pho meals, and while it may not be authentic, it is definitely delicious. I ordered mine with the chicken, but I have also had the beef, and they are both scrumptious. I would recommend this place for the tastes, as well as the price; both are definitely good. It only loses one star because I have had Pho that knocked my socks off, and basically, it is hard to beat it.

    As Good As It Gets!!! Food: Vietnamese/Asian Atmosphere: I see a lot of corporate ppl eating here even though it is still a casual place Location: Corner of Buford Hwy and Clairmont Rd. (very easy to miss because they are located in a L shaped plaza at a weird angle) Price: Stuffed for under $10/person I am so thankful for yelp. I would have never found this place if it wasn't for you. Not only am I Vietnamese and forever love Viet food, I only live 15 min away from this place and did not know of its existence. Since I have, I've probably eaten here 100+ times. Never would I have thought that somebody could make com bi suong cha like my Mom. I am not saying that they do, but it is the next best thing. The pork chops are well marinated and cooked perfectly from dish to dish -- leaving the outside crisp while inside bursting with flavor. The rice is exceptionally fragrant and never dry or soggy. Their selection of bubble teas and smoothie are not as impressive as some of the other bigger viet places in the A, but nobody comes here for the drinks. The place is structurally small but the staff works well at providing quick, excellent quality service to accommodate parties of any size. I hope this place is here to stay and keeps up their progress. Recommended for all taste buds. A must!!!!

    Good Solid Vietnamese food in a cute clean setting. I had the broken rice with beef it's called the com special plate, and it was pretty good, with great prices as well. This com special plate is made up of grilled meat( you can choose from pork, beef or chicken ) it comes with this steamed egg, and a fried egg, veggies, and fish sauce.. it's definitely yummy.. and very filling.. what is nice is the place has quick solid food, and they give alot.. I was too full, I could not even finish the plate. This place can accommodate large parties, and for a Vietnamese place, it can be date friendly- alot of Vietnamese restaurants are low key, so I would never ever say it is date friendly, but this one is.. the decor is classy and nice, and the waiter can speak English, wowsers.. Definitely a place to take Vietnamese food newbies since it's not seedy and the waiters are nice.

    I had never been a big fan of Vietnamese until I tried this restaurant. Com Grille is not the typical Vietnamese restaurant with various types of Pho. Actually, they don't have pho at all. Instead, they have a very yummy green papaya, apple, green mango combination salad that you can get with either grilled shrimp, chicken, beef, lamb, etc. So far I've had it only with the grilled shrimp and it was very good. The shrimp was well seasoned and cut into small bite size pieces. The long, thinly cut unripe fruit added great firm, but not crispy, texture to the salad without adding too much to the flavor. The dressing was mildly sweet. Thin, stringy onion rings were on top of the salad. All these ingredient mixed together made a very fresh and tasty combination salad enough as an appetizer for two. If you don't get the salad then I would recommend one of the grape leave wraps. You can choose from beef, chicken, lamb, tofu, etc. So far I've had the lamb and beef. Both were very good. They kind of look like grape leaf egg rolls. The flavor of the meats in the rolls were excellent. Also enough for two as an appetizer. For the main dish I have only ordered the flat rice vermicelli with beef with rice paper wraps. You will get a plate of rice vermicelli fried together into cut pancake-like structure with cooked, semi-sweet marinated beef. You will also get a separate plate of fresh vegetables and herbs such as cilantro, basil, mint, red leaf lettuce, etc. Put a little bit of each item in a rice paper wrap and you have yourself a very fresh and tasty summer roll that you can dip in the sweet chili sauce they give you. Delicious! This dish is enough for two. If you are looking for something somewhat light, fresh, filling, and very tasty this is the place to go.

    A friend brought me to Com insisting I would like it and she was right! The food is so fresh and yummy! This is the place for you if you enjoy flavorful, fresh, light fare and something a little different. My favorites were the chicken pancake rice vermicelli and the lamb grape leaves, simply to die for!

    Great, affordable Vietnamese. I love the verimicelli and grape leave rolls. A little hidden, tucked into a little shopping center. Best to go on the weekends.

    A consistently great dining experience. It's a GRILL, people. They don't serve Pho. The duck wrapped in grape leaves is awesome. If you're going with a big group and you like adventurous eating, call ahead and order the big grilled fish. It's delicious and a ton of messy fun to eat.

    Com probably has the best bun on Buford. Oh, there com dac biet is good too. My wife and I have noticed that their grilled meats have tended to be sweeter than when Com first opened. There are no weak spots on the menu. Great for a leisurely lunch or light dinner.

    Coming from a Vietnamese-American, who's been to Vietnam and knows real Vietnamese cuisine... this place is pretty great. I love their noodles especially with beef. Although it's a bit of a long drive (if you live in buford highway, lucky you), the food is definetly worth it. The space is nice and clean, and the service is fast and attentive. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, even those who think they don't like Vietnamese food.

  • Stephanie A.

    This is as good as Vietnamese gets... Try their flat vermicelli noodle with beef tenderloin and ask for the rice paper to make your own wraps. Co'm is getting more and more crowded on the weekend, so you may want to come early.

    After reading all the great reviews & checking out COM's menu online, we decided to make the 45 minute trek up to Dunwoody. We love Vietnamese food, but it's often not very vegetarian-friendly. COM's menu had loads of veggie options made with tofu. YUM, right? Well, We were sorely disappointed when we were informed after we placed our order that they were completely out of tofu!!! If you are also vegetarian, I highly suggest calling ahead to make sure they are stocked up on tofu. We will not be going back.

    COM is a small, casual, but nice Vietnamese restaurant on Buford highway. There's another location in Dunwoody which supposedly has a bigger menu, but I've never been. The food here is really outstanding. Vietnamese is one of my favorite Asian cuisines, and COM is an excellent example of why. The dishes are usually chock full of fresh ingredients like sprouts, cucumbers, basil, fish, shrimp, etc. Strong flavors, all at the peak of freshness. Couple that with simple yet tasty sauces and cooked meats over fragrant rice and practically any dish is a winner. The menu has very little English on it. Fortunately there are some pictures. The wait staff will gladly help you out with choices as well.

  • Bjorn G.

    This is probably the best Vietnamese food I've had ever, anywhere, and I've been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. The prices are mostly very reasonable, too. The so-called "flat noodle" dishes are comparatively pricey, but most entrees are under eight bucks, and pretty good-sized portions. The pork is particularly wonderful. They don't have a lot of the traditional dishes, like pho, on the menu, but what they do have is all excellent. The good news is that if you're in the neighborhood and you want something more traditional, you only have to go a few blocks to get it.

    I've always enjoyed this restaurant but am curious whether the ownership has changed. The website above goes to comgrill.com which used to show two locations - Dunwoody and Buford Hwy. Now it only shows Dunwoody. I emailed the address on the website and they said they are not associated with the restaurant on Buford Hwy. What happened?

    I am not certain but I would guess that there is some culinary miscegenation going on at this place. I approve of whatever they are fusing or not fusing. The duck wrapped in grape leaves is amazing.

    Grilled dishes are the star at this Vietnamese restaurant on Buford Highway. Beef spring rolls and squares of flat rice vermicelli with smoky meat and bright herbs never fail to satisfy and won't leave you feeling guilty. They've opened a new location in Dunwoody, but the original is the better of the two.

  • Chuan S.

    What is up? A Vietnamese place with no pho and no peanut sauce. Honestly, I don't know what this world is coming to. I tried two separate dishes of meat (chicken and pork) sitting on top of soft rice noodle patties that was supposed to be wrapped in lettuce or rice paper with veggie likes diced cucumber, carrots, and radish. It was definitely pretty fun and cool to sit around and make wraps. The rice paper had to dipped in hot water before you could use it to make rolls. It was kind of tricky and easier to do with two hands. I think they should off just used a wide plate so you can dip the whole rice paper in one shot. I preferred wrapping my rolls with lettuce since it gives the roll a fresh embrace of crispy texture. I had a fried spring roll with shrimp and pork fillings. It surprised me to see a whole shrimp in a fried spring roll. Never seen it prepared like that and I have had a lot of them. Also tried some fried sugar cane shrimp which was shrimp meat wrapped around sugar cane and fried. This shrimp was actually not that good and tasted kind of weird. The rice noodle with pork dish was pretty good. I liked the fish sauce and I used it on everything. No pho at this joint though. The definitely needed some peanut sauce for the rolls. Maybe I will give them 4 stars if they start serving peanut sauce with their Vietnamese wraps.

    I ate the Dunwoody location for lunch for the first time yesterday. I am a little embarrassed to say that since I live within walking distance. Anyway, I was blown away with how wonderful it was. Service was a little slow for lunch; I guess their clientele isn't in too much of a hurry. Otherwise, it was fantastic!

    So tasty! This is my absolute favorite quick, healthy, Asian spot. Try the bun and spring rolls. Both are made with fresh grilled meats and raw and pickled veggies....the anti-thesis of Chinese food.

    The first time my wife and I went, we were greeted right away and seated and served quickly. I think the host spotted that it was our first time and offered us a tea one the house. He also had a great sense of humor. The food was fantastic. I've have been to my fair share of Vietnamese restaurants. Everything we ordered, was better than what I had had before. The free desert was a nice finish too. The host also mentioned they change it every month. It wasn't but week later we returned and found that the same great service from other servers etc. Also, they seem to constantly have the food network on, so you can get hungiererer while you wait.

    Co'm, Sweet Co'm. This is my favorite restaurant in the universe. Yes, the universe, and I've been around. I've searched for succulent spring rolls and nuoc cham that I could drink straight up in the 9 months that I've lived in New York, and I just cannot stop comparing everything to Co'm. I was just in Atlanta for 4 nights, and I ate here 3 times. For all non-pho Viet dishes, this place is still THE BEST. The DIY rice vermicelli wraps are as amazing as ever, and the service is still top notch. I swear I won't be able to stop dreaming of their shrimp/flounder summer rolls for weeks to come. I'm already imagining sipping their nuoc cham out of a damn martini glass. Maybe chugging it through a beer bong, even. If only I could click my heels and say, "There's no place like Co'm, there's no place like Co'm"....

    (5)
  • D D.

    Our server was very friendly and recommended some dishes from the menu. We loved the Co'm spring rolls and mango salad. The vermicelli rice dishes were large portions and still tasted light. Came with a sald with julienne veggies. Everything tasted fresh and tasty. They also gave us complimentary dessert that was yummy banana-esq vanilla. This place was packed, which is a good sign. We will definitely be back!

  • Ray J.

    On a recommendation from a colleague, I took the Fam to this place for lunch oneday and we are really glad we did. The food was great- light but so flavorful with platedulls of herbs to combine with our lamb dish. The place was very busy. We like it that way since the kids can get a bit rowdy. The service was great and the price was right.

  • Michael L.

    I know, I'm a late one in trying this place- came here last night, and we had the following: 1) Chicken spring roll- The roll itself was packed in tightly, which was nice- it didn't fall apart after taking a bite into it. However, the 'Chicken' was rather sparse, and took the form of bits and crumbs of fried chicken tenders- with more 'fried' than chicken- it tasted more like a lettuce spring roll. Score: 2.5 2) Vermicelli with grilled shrimp- The grilled shrimp was flavored very well, though they weren't exactly fresh. This dish lives and dies by the sauce you pour over it to flavor it. If you don't pour enough, it tastes bland- if you pour too much, you get overly sweet noodle soupiness. My wife was looking for something hot- but this came out a bit lukewarm. Expected, but still. Score: 3 3) Fragrant rice with pork, pickled vegetables, and short ribs- This dish was pretty good- again, you've got to be careful how much/little sauce you pour over the rice. I have to say however that their rendition of short ribs was AWESOME. They were thinly-cut (which makes chewing a lot easier), with rich sweet flavor, with a slightly peppery kick! Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Korean BBQ joints picked up on this and made it a flavoring option for their kalbi. Score for short ribs- 4.5 Score for the rest- 3.5 Yes, I know the sum of the scores don't average out to a 4, but I think this place is worth coming back to every now and then. Especially for a slight kick in the (short) ribs....haw haw. (sorry I had to) Oh, and the complimentary mousse cake thingy was nice- tasted a bit dry, but it's free! Overall score: 3.5

    (4)
  • Jang C.

    Very tasty food. Their short ribs in their crushed rice plates rival some the best Korean restaurants' Kalbi. They season their stuff well. Although I think they do season their buns (rice vermicelli) a bit too spicy. It's still good though. I think there were a couple of yelpers when I went. I heard them talking about stuff in the reviews. Not to mention they were being food snobs. ;) Anyway, I can't give these guys 5 stars. Why? Because like I mentioned earlier, they season their bun too strong. They make their portions a bit small. I would need to order a second entree to fill me up. Also their food didn't blow me away. It was tasty, but not super awesome. Even though their portions were small, they're cheap so you can afford to order 2 dishes by yourself. It's a great budget food place. Another good alternative is to order their great spring rolls. Additionally, they get points for their service. They take down and wipe the tables very fast. People are friendly. Also they gave us free dessert, and the dessert was pretty good. Maybe they knew we were yelpers and was bribing a 5 star rating. ;) I'm just kidding, I think on that day we went, they were giving free desserts for some reason. If yelp had 1/2 stars I would definitely give this place a 4.5 stars. But I can't give 5 stars. Something was missing. Nevertheless, it's a great place to go. I highly recommend it.

    Very glad we stopped here on the way to Atlanta Farmers Market. I'm normally put off by large oversized photos of food plastered onto restaurant windows, but the rave reviews we saw here beforehand had me overlooking any pixelated closeups of half-authentic samples. Let me just say - OUTSTANDING grape leaves. Amazing spring roll, and very nice tea. Naturally sweet. Good stuff. Got the ta'm dac biêt, the Fragrant Rice Dish fan fave with fried egg. Which by the way can I add that ANYTHING is pretty much better with over-medium egg? Rice, burgers, burritos, hash browns, you name it. BONUS: We were totally surprised with complimentary valentines day cake after our meal! Did not expect that. Very cool people here.

  • Kisha M.

    Love this place! Like, I seriously love it. I think about it often. The only thing that stops me from eating there more often is the distance from my home, but it is well worth the drive. I don't even bother looking at the menu. The grape leaves with lamb and the beef with rice. Yum!!! The beef with rice comes with this amazing bowl of liquid goodness. I don't even know what it is. I just pour it over my rice and devour it. I always order water because the portions are so plentiful I don't have room in my greedy belly for any carbonation. C'om is extremely budget friendly. Two entrees and an appetizer will run you under twenty bucks. You can't beat that! Service is great too.

  • Sal L.

    Co'm is in my work Hood and it never disappoints. The food is always excellent and the price is exceptionally reasonable. You can easily enjoy an exceptional lunch for under $10. During my most recent visit I had the Rice vermicelli with pork and the fried egg roll. It came out fast and had great flavor. The service was very good although the seating was a bit awkward this time around. They had all the tables in the center of the restaurant lined up family style. I have not been to the Dunwoody location so I can't speak to that option but I will continue going to the Chamblee location for the foreseeable future.

  • Drew D.

    Where to start....the restaurant is simply amazing. The spring rolls are perfect, but the fish sauce is amazing. I am craving Com just thinking of the fish sauce. It is spicy and sweet, best fish sauce I have had anywhere. In fact, best condiment I have ever had. But if you love spring rolls, you have to order the flat rice vermicelli with rice paper. You pretty much make your own spring rolls. The servers even tell me that it is the best thing on the menu, and I wholeheartedly agree. It is a gorgeous display of meat and veggies that leaves you stuffed, but feeling good. The meat is seasoned perfectly. I am not a pork guy, but I love their pork because of the seasoning. The shrimp and fish is always good, too. If you do not like spring rolls, go for the com tam dac biet (sp) with your choice of meat. You cannot really go wrong with much on their menu. Ask the server for a recommendation, too. At dinner, you get free mini chocolate coffee cakes as dessert that are great, as well. Best Vietnamese place I have had.

    Well, there is not much else I can say about this place that hasn't already been said! The food was deliciously seasoned, the service was good, and along with a pipping cup of hot loose leaf tea and my yelper lunch date it couldn't have gotten any better. The house salad was unbelievable, and I'm not one for fruit in my salad at all. The grape leaves stuffed with beef were also quite yummy! I ordered the special which came with grilled chicken, a fish cake (which I wasn't too fond of), assorted veggies, a fried egg, over a mound of rice accompanied by some sort of sweet sauce. This was my second time sampling Vietnamese food, and I can say that I've completely fallen head over heals for it! Fresh herbs, the tangy sweet and sour combination's, a definite explosion of flavors! I can't wait for my next trip!

  • Zachary B.

    The lettuce wraps - Flat Rice Vermicelli - were amazing! The fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, and basil) were very fresh. The proportions were more than adequate with some food to take home. We also had a few of the spring rolls for appetizers, and all were great. The restaurant is both excellent and a great value for the cost. A must visit!!!

  • Mary N.

    Coming from California, I have pretty high standards for a vietnamese restaurant. I must say, after yelping this place, the food was decent! The rice plates are good and they even gave us a free dessert! However, they neglect to tell you that the grilled fish will take 45 minutes to cook. Gee whiz! I was starving n couldn't wait that long! So I ordered a com suong nuong, and a grilled fish spring roll. Both delish!! Other than that food was good n prices are decent. Very clean restaurant n classy decor. If I stop by in atlanta again, I definitely would come back! Would have given 5 stars but my grilled catfish took too long to make n they didn't seem enthusiastic about preparing it.

    this place changed my view of vietnamese food. i was a staunch 'hater' of it before i went here, because i had tried pho and found it utterly disgusting. yes, i know. went here for dinner last week, had the vermicelli and shrimp. i thought i was in heaven. and now i want to eat that again. RIGHT. NOW! also had the grape leaves appetizer with chicken. also very good. can't wait to return. i find myself craving vietnamese food (ok, this dish in particular) daily! GO!

    Switched it up this time and tried the fragrant rice. It was a gamble considering how much I love their bun, but it certainly paid off. While the meat and veggies were as delicious as you'd expect from this place, it was the rice that blew me away. So incredibly flavorful, I could have eaten it plain (although the meat and veggie are a very, very welcome addition). I mean, it's just rice, I don't know what they did to it, but I'm pretty sure it involved sprinkles of spice from heaven. And the little desserts they provide free of charge at the end of each meal really hit my glee button.

  • Thuy H.

    After a few minutes of arguing, I gave this place 3 stars. My brother urged me to be fair when reviewing this place after I reminded him that I have eaten Vietnamese food in Houston, TX and Orange County, CA. We ordered the papaya salad and I think it wasn't good. There wasn't enough papaya in the salad. I think they substituted some of the papaya with cucumber peel. If the plate is called papaya salad, I feel that there should be a lot of papaya in the salad. Maybe after many years of eating Laos papaya salad, I expect to see a higher ratio of papaya. The springroll with pork was very good. The favor was just right. The shrimp eggroll was terrific. I haven't had the shrimp ones in ages. I broke my rule on eating out at restaurants. Always order the dish if it appears in the name of the business. Com, meaning rice... I ended ordering the bun nem nuong. I didn't like it. The nem tasted like plain ground pork with some sweetness to it. The noodles was overcooked. My dinner mates ordered their rice dish special and they raved about. They said it was a "flavor boom in your mouth." We see pictures of complimentary desserts but we didn't get any desserts served to us.

    Just ate the MOST DELICIOUS Vietnamese grilled beef and shrimp rice wraps and vermicelli cakes at Co'm Grill on BuHi. Their green papaya salad and bang bang lamb wonton (smokey chili gooness) was killer too. To top it off, they gave us this complimentary caramel coffee mousse cake with jackfruit and vanilla ice cream, the perfect end bite. As you can see, scarfed it all down so no photos. Bliss!

    COM is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants (along with Phoenix Noodle House). I've been to this location several times, and the Dunwoody one just a couple of times. The Buford Hwy location is more casual, and the prices are lower. Service has always been great, and they don't fuss at all if you want to do separate checks. I came here for lunch with three friends who'd never been. You know ... I just realized I forgot to ask if they liked their food :) I got the Com Goi salad again, which is their signature salad. I LOVE the freshness & the flavors. The salad has chopped green mango, green papaya, Fuji apples, veggies, herbs, and your choice of meat. I picked salmon this time. I like COM because for all their dishes, they offer fish as one of their meat choices -- not just your standard choice of pork, beef, or chicken. When my dish first arrived, it looked disappointingly (or deceivingly) small. But it turned out to be just the right amount. The salad was just $6.95. Most of the dishes are less than $10. I love COM.

    The first couple of times I went to Com I LOVED it, but it's slowly starting to move down on my favorite Vietnamese restaurants list. We got the usual, grilled beef with flat vermicelli noodles and rice paper wraps. It was flavorful, but not amazing. I think the fish sauce with chili pepper sauce was too fishy? After the meal I felt like I might never get the aftertaste of fish out of my mouth. Yuck. I was even burping fish, gross I know. The shrimp salad is good, but too much cilantro for me. The boys had the fragrant rice with grilled pork, which they both seemed to enjoy. They almost licked the plates clean. Overall good, but not great. Maybe I'll try the fragrant rice dish next time and skip the fish sauce...

  • Katy M.

    If I only had 5 meals left on this earth, 2 of them would be at C'om. Yum. I've been a regular to this place for about 4 years (admittedly usually more for takeout than dine-in), despite it not being especially close to home or work. There's something comforting about the subtle and fresh Vietnamese favors. 4/5 times I order the lamb bun (vermicelli rice noodles with lettuce, carrots, zucchini, basil, mint, fresh grilled lamb and a sweet/sour broth poured over the top). Sometimes I order the chicken lettuce wraps. If you can't already tell from the ingredients, Vietnamese is great for the health conscious - lots of veggies and minimal oils. The entrees are also reasonably priced and good sized. Do yourself a favor and get some grub from C'om! Also - if you are new to Buford Hwy eating, don't be scared. This place is safe and clean (like many of the other interesting spots along this trek)!

  • Caroline M.

    Didn't know what to expect from reading previous reviews. Cleaner, trendier, more expensive then what I'm used to. Dance (Trance?) music playing in the background. Very attentive service. The Pho broth was tasty. Egg rolls- not recommended. Pork with rice and meatloaf plate was good. Everything was nice, just seems like something is lacking from the dirty hole restaurants with rude service in San Diego, or Orange County Ca. That's the place to go for really good Vietnamese food, so it's hard to compare.

  • Shadowy W.

    This place is clean (inspection score is 93 - A) and kinda cute, but the food is not authentic. I'm as Vietnamese as it can get, and I was disappointed with the bowl of pho I had there recently. It was only average: the broth wasn't complex in flavor; the beef was slightly chewy (not very tender); the herbs were lacking (they didn't give you rice paddy herb or saw tooth herb). I was not happy when they said they didn't have roasted chili oil (sa-te) to accompany pho. My boyfriend got ca-ri ga`, which I tasted a little bit. It was good, but too sweet and oily. They should offer it with banh mi as well, instead of just co*m and bu'n. The selection is quite limited, with no noodle soups other than pho. I had a major craving for bun rieu and hu tieu Nam Vang, but these were not on the menu. :( These people seem to cater to American customers. I would go somewhere else for authentic Vietnamese dishes.

  • Angela M.

    After hearing about this place for so long, but being somewhat hesitant to venture to anywhere on Buford Highway without my Yelp experts, Alain and Zack finally gave me a great opportunity to try it out. With lots of advice, I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp, and the grape-leaf wrapped duck bun. Emily and Leah were also nice enough to share some of their green papaya salad. Maybe it was because it was so late or because there's no flavor I love more in meat than grilled smokiness, but everything was absolutely scrumptious. Having charcoal-grilled shrimp in a spring roll kicks the flavor up a huge step. I'm honestly not sure I'll be able to eat them the regular way now. The papaya salad was so fresh, and fresh really is the best word because it's the only word that encompasses all the sensory inputs that this dish delivers in texture, flavor, and healthiness. And then there was the smoky duck. I'm not a huge fan of dolmades, which is what popped into my head when I read grape leave wrapped, but this was nothing like this. The smokiness of the meat was perfect. The textures of the rice vermicelli with julienne vegetables was the perfect compliment, and once I doused the whole thing with the chili sauce, it made for a filling dish that didn't leave me filled with guilt. The place is small in a very cozy way. They weren't really sure how to handle our large group, so it took a while to get situated, but it once settled, the service was good. They brought us tiny chocolate mocha cake bites - just a little something sweet to balance all the smoke and spice. They easily separated our checks at the register. Now that this is so much closer to our new place, and that I've had the experts show me the ropes, I'm very much looking forward to taking Jimmy and becoming a regular.

    Warning! They do not make PHO. I was shocked but ordered a delicious rice dish anyway. The waiter said because there's so many other restaurants that make pho, there's no need. I guess. Their walls are decorated with awards, newspaper clippings and magazine articles - featuring their restaurant. It was very good. Wish I lived in the area so I could go back and try more dishes.

    I can't find anything negative to say about this place. Had the spring rolls for an appetizer. Very fresh and crisp. I had the rice and flounder, my daughter the grilled chicken and rice, and my friend had a pork dish. Everything tasted fresh, healthy and great. We cleaned our plates. Love the fish vinaigrette. Had a tasty complimentary dessert to top it off. Can't wait to go again.

    Tasty food - flavor explosion! We got the grape leaves appetizer with duck. Yum! I got the C'om Lamb, which was excellent. Plenty of food and came with a sweet and sour sauce on the side. The rice was seasoned and delicious. And they give you a free dessert at the end. I'll definitely be back!

    Oh my. I didn't even realize this place was tucked away over here, but I'm so glad it became the Mother's Day spot for my family. Everything was delicious, fresh, savory, packed with flavor, packed with a punch without being overly spicy... it was a dream come true. I'm normally the person loathing grilled meat, but they manage to keep it tender and moist here. Fish flaked apart and melted like butter in my mouth while the chicken easily fell apart and soaked up the flavors from the curry broth. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly, and the "salad" that is mixed in under the bowl added a little something special to the entire dish. Even the sauce to mix in the bowl melded the flavors together well. Co'm knows all the pieces of the puzzle and exactly how they fit together - still shocked I had never been here until last weekend. As the queen of leftovers, I have to add that the leftovers cooked up beautifully and had just as much flavor as the day before. YUM. Service was great. They even turned down the music for us when it became too loud. Super sweet and cracking jokes when appropriate... I really have a soft spot for incredible service, and Co'm delivers on that front too. My only "gripe" is that it's a tiny spot so conversations can easily be a shouting match, but the key to solving the problem is to come on off-peak hours. Can't wait to come back!

    I love Co'm - it is so delicious! Definitely one of the better Viet restaurants in Atlanta (they don't have pho though) and this from a Vietnamese-American that's been back to the motherland and knows her Viet food. Newcomers must try the grape leaf appetizer. I honestly can't recommend just one thing, everything was simply delicious! The meat is perfectly grilled and it goes so well with the rice and the vermicelli. The decor of the restaurant is pretty nice too! Tôi mn n cm!

    Oh, yum! What is it about an unsuspecting hole in the wall on Buford Hwy that makes this place even more desirable? It's like we're all in on this little secret that a lot of people have yet to discover. Go Buford Hwy! Back to the topic, a couple of friends suggested Co'm for our usual meet-up every month. The husband and I got lost at first (it's tucked behind a gas station), but found it pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and the server was super attentive. We had a lamb appetizer that was great. For an entree, I ordered the chicken curry, and it was awesome. The portions are very generous; I couldn't eat half of mine. The best part? They gave us free dessert. Yes, even though I couldn't finish my plate, I have a separate stomach when it comes to sweets. Did I mention how reasonable the prices are? Wow. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and take a little trip up Buford Hwy. You won't be disappointed!

    Let me start by saying that Vietnamese food is one of my favorites, so I was very excited to try Co'm. I have had my fair share of it here in Atlanta since I work on Buford Hwy, and I think Co'm is one of the best places to go. I love all of their different Bun Thit (vermicelli noodle bowl) options, especially the bowl topped with the stuffed grape leaves. On top of their food, their staff is particularly friendly, and you will be greeted with a huge smile. You may also be given a free tea or a fantastic dessert, depending on the day. This is a good place to start for those new to Vietnamese food.

    The grilled meats here are sooooooo tasty. I always get the Special Fragrant Rice with either the pork or the beef tenderloin. The chargrilled meats scream delicious cancerous flavor atop a mountain of steamed broken rice, shredded roasted pork, a crab cake, a fried egg, pickled carrots/daikon and who knows what else. It's a ton of ridiculously awesome food for cheap. Despite my obsession with the dish I just described, I have yet to go wrong with anything on the menu. Except the curry dish. I found it to be generic and a friend made a face and said it tasted "like Christmas." The decor is a huge step up from most Asian restaurants on Buford Hwy, but I can't help but think that the portraits of the women hanging on the wall are actually drag queens. If you've ever heard of ladyboys you might know what I mean.

    My family and I have lived in Chicagoland (from the city to the suburbs) all of our lives. I think most people know that our family loves to eat. My brother had recently moved to a suburb of Atlanta. Of course, before my husband and I visited him there, I asked him, "What good places are there to eat?" He informed me that he hadn't found any restaurants that would compare to the Argyle or Chinatown of Chicago. I knew that couldn't be so. I went on trusty Yelp and did some searching for him (and for my own taste buds) and came across the reviews for Co'm Vietnamese Grill. I knew we had to try it. Thank you to all of you wonderful Yelpers, because Co'm Vietnamese Grill did not disappoint! It definitely reminded me of authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered the goi cuon (spring rolls) and it was so yummy. What makes it unique from the other goi cuon is that they used grilled pork tenderloin. We're so used to the traditional pork belly that it was a nice surprise having a different cut of pork. We also tried two different types of bun, one with the grilled pork tenderloin and the other with the ground pork (which really was pork meatballs) and it was heaven! It's all about the fish sauce and the vegetables they use. It was a nice surprise to get the free chocolate/mocha dessert at the end of the meal. Co'm Vietnamese Grill satisfied and surpassed our basic need for tasty food. Next time I visit Atlanta, I'll make sure to stop by again!

  • Belle S.

    My former boss brought me take out food from here for lunch on my first day of work. Meh the pho wasn't so great...mostly lacking flavor and noodles that other Vietnamese places loaded on. Maybe it was because it was to go? Or maybe because it was in the midst of an Atlanta summer and I wasnt thinking straight about ordering pho...as I had flown in from Kenya the night before? Who knows? But what i do know is that i most likely won't be coming here proactively.

    Small restaurant hidden in a plaza itself hard-to-find . Interior is very clean and furnished comfortably. Asian pop music plays in the background. It's mostly a specialty restaurant that focuses on Vietnamese barbecue, which when done right is among my absolute favorite things to eat. I'm happy to report that after several visits this has been very much the case. The meat comes juicy, tender, with nicely charred exterior, and unbelievably mouth-watering aroma. The accompanying sauce is full of flavor but not invasive; the taste note is sophisticated and definitely a cut above what's served in most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Interstingly, the cold spring roll appetizer is dipped in this sauce and not Nuoc Leo (peanut sauce). Run down of entrees I eat there: Rice plates: huge, great pork sausage, rice crushed nicely and smells great Bun: nice touch with scallions and fried shallot (I think) finish, soaks up sauce nicely and my favorite Flat vermicelli plate: do-it-yourself type of deal where meat, veggies, flattened cooked patches of rice vermicelli, sauce, and herbs are all separate and you wrap them up or eat however you like. Messy for me but fun. A little expensive but enough for two. You can ask for rice paper if don't want to use lettuce as wrap, I think. Here I prefer beef over lamb over pork. Haven't tried the whole fried (or grilled) fish or stews yet. I can only surmise those will also put me in taste paradise. Whether you regularly eat Vietnamese food, you should definitely give this place a try.

  • Opal L.

    Our food here was exceptional. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls (in the translucent wrap), the beef bun with egg roll and the grilled short ribs over rice. Everything was fresh, which was especially important for the spring rolls and the raw veggies that came with our dishes. The shrimp in the spring rolls were grilled, and our beef was very tender and flavorful. It was Christmas day when we were here, and the waiter brought us a complimentary coffee/chocolate cake. I just wanted to mention that to point out the kindness of the folks here. The prices were reasonable, and the service was prompt and friendly as well.

    My fiancee and I dine at, or get takeout from Co'm at least once a week. We love the vermicelli with chicken or beef... and the spring rolls too. Everything from Co'm is incredibly fresh and delicious. We have never been disappointed. The ambiance is very relaxing, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I cannot stress enough how excellent the service is here. We are always acknowledged and/or seated right away upon entering the restaurant. I highly recommend!!

    I've been here so many times dining out with Asian friends new to Atlanta. The rice rolls are great! Very good experience when everybody makes the rice roll together, and easy to keep the conversation going (don't worry, the friendly waiter can show you how. it's super simple)

  • Juliet C.

    time to flex those yelping fingers and starting reviewing again! I usually don't like reviewing places that are overly Yelped. But I LOVE Co'm and just had to share. I've been to Co'm twice. absolutely delicious. it's so unique, I've never had Vietnamese food quite like this before (and I have lived in San Jose, Ca !), and I've also never had grilled meat that tasted quiet like this before- I feel like they use special charcoal or something to get a very unique, flavorful grill taste. As everyone else says, the duck grape leaves appetizer is a must. My mom scarfed these down. For all you non duck eaters, no worries, there's no gamey duck taste. just pure delicious flavor. For the main dish, my favorite is the Beef Vermicelli noodles. You use lettuce wraps to wrap up grilled beef and vermicelli noodles that are matted together (which is very clever because it is easier to wrap this way). Sprinkle in some cilantro, cucumbers and basil leaves, go for quick dunk in the perfectly seasoned fish sauce, and shove in mouth for instant flavor explosion. added plus: free tiramisu for dessert! not even a non dessert eater like me can turn down free tiramisu! downsides: the menu is centered around the grilled meat and fish sauce. So if you aren't a fan of these, this might not be the place for you. Also, although the decor is very classy and nice, the restaurant is located in a very shady looking shopping strip. When I come for dinner, I fear for my hubcaps.

  • Dustin W.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. I've ate at Co'm 4 or 5 times. The last time I ate their I had the Chicken Curry which was amazing. Not a single bad dish comes out of that kitchen I swear.

  • Hannah C.

    Back for round two: Still about the same experience as last time... The Good: I got the famous-not-on-the-menu "Green drink". It tasted like Captain Crunch! Not being a huge cereal fan, I probably won't have the urge to order it again, but it was a nice treat, so be sure to ask for it! I ordered the same thing that I did last time: rice with spare ribs and veggies. I think the rice portion was larger this time b/c I wasn't starving when we left! Yay! Lamb spring rolls are always a must! Super delicious! Cute guy got the flat rice dish where you make your own lettuce wraps. Ok, Co'm get's major bonus points for throwing in a huge plate of lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, and most importantly generous sprigs of fresh basil, cilantro and mint! I stole some from my sweetie! hehehehehe....I'm going to order this next time! Their food is pretty cheap! The total for 4 people was $44.44 (aaaah!...anyone seen the movie "Juon"?! Freaky) I also like how they serve those little slices of delicious cake at the end! :) The Bad: The servers were slightly forgetful (but nice). We didn't get our appetizer until half way through our meal. Whatever, it's all good. The deliciousness made up for it. Plus it was busy, I understand forgetfulness (it's my middle name)! The table was sticky. Ick. I got some sticky mess on my arm b/c the feeding trough wasn't scrubbed well after the previous animals...uh, patrons. Gross. Also, the menu had about half of the selections crossed out with Sharpie. So, I guess I'll have to wait to try the Lemon Juice with Milk drink...pass. The Ug-lay: Man, I got that same damn stomach pain again! So it wasn't my imagination!! My guess is that maybe I'm allergic to one of their spices or something. But you know, I've had this exact problem with certain beloved Mexican restaurants, and I ate there so much that I think I became immune, so I guess the prescription is just more Co'm! Three stars...oh what the hell! 4 Stars!

    Based on the positive reviews I went to check out Co'm the other night. We were promptly seated and given water. The menu seemed out of date and a lot of things were crossed out and altered. Co'm offers a plethora of seafood creatures. Unfortunately, there was only one vegan dish on the menu. Our food arrived promptly and it tasted really good. After we finished we were given little deserts. Once again, I got screwed as it was not vegan. Anyway, the food was great and the service was good with room for improvement. The styling of the place lost a few points for having flat screens tuned to CNN. There is really no need for TVs in restaurants.

    So this was a totally random find and am so happy to have found it. My wife, her parents, and myself had just finished doing some last minute shopping for our wedding at Lennox Mall. My wife and her parents are from California and I don't come into Atlanta a lot so no one knew where we should go eat for dinner. We looked on our Garmin GPS under food and then Vietnamese and it took us here. We were skeptical at first as the neighborhood got a little shady and the restaurant was in the parking lot with a gas station and other rinky-dink businesses. We decided we would give it a shot despite our reservations. I can't even pronouce what I got but it was damn good. I think it was the bun thit heo, bo hoac ga nuong. Anyway-divine. I can't remember or again pronounce what the other members of my party got, but I sampled each one and they were superb as well. My wife loves international food and ordered for most of us and has been dying to take me to a Vietnamese place out it Cali and was very excited to find one in Georgia and that was actually good no less.

    Very good Vietnamese grill. Different style than most other Vietnamese places. Generally the grilled shrimp, meats, and everything is fresh, with nice grilling flavors. The prices are moderate but the place is nice and clean with nice decor. Food 4 stars service 4 stars Value 4 stars

  • Katy S.

    One of my favorites for lunch OR dinner. The papaya salad is always phenomenal as are the duck sausage grape leaves (SO good). If you have time order the whole fish. It takes 45 minutes to cook but it is WORTH the wait and you can taste so many other wonderful things in the meantime including the bun. Have fun here and be adventurous with this menu. Great flavors, textures, and very satisfying. The ambiance is nothing wonderful, but the food is so good I have to give 5 stars.

  • Brittany M.

    Love this place! Highly recommend trying it if you enjoy great healthy food. They are a French Vietnamese restaurant with a great wine selection and a friendly, informative staff. I had the BANH HOI/FLAT RICE VERMICELLI (Do It Yourself Vietnamese Burritos) which were soo healthy and mouth watering yummy! I choose the pork tenderloin which comes with fresh array of greens and steamed rice noodles which you wrap yourself in rice paper! So yummy and fun creating your own healthy burritos! They just opened a new location in Suwanee, Ga called Sen Lotus. Located at the SuperTarget shopping center Brookwood Marketplace off Peachtree Parkway.

    Although Co'm is very small is very comfortable. The servers are very attentive and helpful when you're not familiar with the menu. The food is pretty good, the portions very generous, and the prices affordable. I recently went there with a friend and I ordered Rice Vermicelli with Shrimp and my friend ordered Flat Vermicelli with Beef. Both dishes were pretty good. I also like the fact that they give you a small piece of cake after your meal.

  • Todd P.

    I think I may dream about COM Grill tonight when I fall asleep. I'll probably dream about the absolutely delicious grape leaf-wrapped duck appetizers. About how much I savored each and every bite of the pork loin with fragrant rice dish -- how the thinly sliced meat was grilled just right so it was a little crispy on the edges but not over cooked, how moist the rice was and how pouring the small bowl of spicy, fish sauce-like broth on top made the entire plate practically irresistible. About how I felt completely stuffed but couldn't stop eating it until every last bite was gone because it was really that tasty. I might...wake up to a foodgasm?! Either that or find myself sleep walking down Buford Highway, mouth watering and stumbling toward another fantastic meal. Damn you, COM Grill! I'm hooked!

  • Stephie Z.

    Not really sure what the fuss is about Co'm. I have eaten here a few times, only when my fave Vietnamese joint down the skreet is closed, and have never been impressed. Their shrimp is way too sweet for me and their green mango/green papaya salad falls short of fabulousness. While I think their food is alright it never compares to the bun and papaya salad that I normally eat at another not-to-be-named place. Another annoying thing to me is that the hot tea- no choice on this one- is chock full o' tea leaves. Shit annoys the hell out of me. I know I am going against the grain here since everyone seems to love Co'm but I feel that this place deserves a m'eh more than a yeah.

  • Jen H.

    I think this place is just okayyyyy. I definitely prefer that other Pho place with the bubble tea or that Vietnamese place in Downtown on Broad street. It's not bad, it's just not good. Service was fine and prompt. The egg rolls were hot and fresh. I thought the bun's noodles were extra good because they weren't soggy like other places. I think my boyfriend ranked them low compared to other vietnamese places because it didn't have as much meat as other places. I actually preferred their bun. However, I ranked their meat and rice low compared to other places. The rice was good, fresh, and plump. But I didn't really like the meat. Instead of cubes, it was thin strips. It was just okay. I probably will not be coming back to this place.

  • Tawny A.

    oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh how i love Vietnamese food. Their Bun was the perfect combination of savory and tangy. I love rice noodles, and I admit I eat them a lot in my hometown, but was not expecting to find good noodles in the south. Thank god I was wrong. I also ate the best panang curry of my life. (though I thought panang to be Thai?). It had pumpkin in it, which was most likely Japanese squash. It was tender and sweet. The serving was HUGE, but I was a hungry girl and didn't want the amazing flavor to go to waste. So I ate and ate and ate. I was in some pain on the way home, but it was worth it. I won't make a stop to ATL again, with out eating here.

    My husband ate at Co'm a few weeks ago with a friend & raved about it. So, when we happened to be in the area, I insisted we eat there. And, boy am I glad I did. This was one of the best meals I have eaten in a long time. For our first course, we ordered duck wrapped in grape leaves and a combination (mango, papaya & apple) salad with shrimp. Both dishes were expertly prepared, had very complex flavors and were just "lick the plate" delicious. Our next course was rice vermicelli with rice paper. We ordered ours with chicken. The extremely friendly & competent waitress gave us a quick lesson on how to roll the chicken, vermicelli, crunchy peanut/spice mixture, lettuce, basil, mint & cilantro using the rice paper. Not only a meal, but an activity as well! It was so fun & yummy. Finally, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert that was some sort of mocha cake thing. It was just as good as everything else. This place is truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. I cannot wait to go back!

    It has been a while since I have been here, but the fact this place remains in my memory means either a good thing or a bad thing. I have been to the Buford Hwy and the one OTP and both experiences have been amazing. Granted their portions aren't enormous, but I have found that I don't mind since there food is so rich in flavor, the service is kind (albeit a little slow, order one of their amazing apps). I have not been disappointed. I have found at the Buford Hwy location it can get crowded, and service can be slow. But I still think their food is delish.

  • Becky N.

    What is Vietnamese food without Pho? Even knowing that...I would still recommend this place. It has really good food with minimal fusion in the seasoning. Coming from a traditional Viet family I wouldn't say it's the best..but I would say it feeds the cravings! I recommend the grape leaves for appetizers, the asparagus/crab meat soup to strart and the bun. I am not a fan of colored rice (it's mint green here..) so I haven't tried the rice but for the most part it's a matter of picking your meat and then your carb and Voila..good food! There is also a location in Dunwoody as well which doesn't quite have the extensive menu like the grilled fish.

    We just returned to Com after a one year, unintentional hiatus. We forgot what we were missing. Tried the appetizer of grape leaves with beef and it was wonderful. The flavors, the spices are so refreshingly different. Tasty but subtle without overpowering the meat and grape leaves. My wife had the vegetable spring rolls which she had to ask for. We think they used to be on the menu but all we saw were meat rolls. The spring rolls are NOT deep fried. They are wrapped in that thin roll "paper" that's transparent? I don't know what it's called. But the flavors of lemongrass and other herbs were wonderful. Everything we had was wonderful. I had a spicy lamb entree and my wife had a beef salad (goi). My wife had one glass of wine and our bill came to $31. They brought us a complimentary dessert like the one pictured below. What a treat. As far as Buford Highway ethnic restaurants are concerned, Com is at or near the top.

    Try the beef or lamb wrapped in grape leaves, try the mussels, try the cam/chanh sua beverage. The rice comes in large portion at a good price. The dessert, more specifically chocolate glazed cake, is complimentary,

  • L W.

    Amazing. My wife and I went here and I was unsure of what to expect. We started with the fried egg rolls and duck wrapped in grape leaves...I've never had anything better! Then we had shaken beef and lamb vermicelli(?) for entrees which were equally awesome. One of the best places I've gone to in a while. Won't disappoint.

    The Vietnamese know how to throw a mouth party! I've been to Co'm several times and finally talked my BF into going there tonight. It was really fabulous -- I am still happily stuck in a rut with the green papaya, mango and apple salad with grilled shrimp. But I also tried the grape leaves with salmon (YUM) and the pork and shrimp spring rolls (which are actually rice paper rolls -- i.e., not fried). BF got the rice with fried egg, shrimp cake and grilled pork and lamb. All delicious -- a wonderful balance of sweet, spicy, tangy, and smoky flavors. Decent little wine list, delicious Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk, and they bring you a little piece of free chocolate/mocha cake. All this for about $60 -- you can't beat it!

  • Laura H.

    So, this was my first time trying Vietnamese food - I was all excited to try Pho, but as some other reviewers have mentioned, it was no where to be found on this menu! So, that quest continues - but what I did discover was delicious new cuisine. I had the beef spring rolls - so light and yummy, and I loved the sauce. And also the Pork Bun. It looks funny to type that. It was a HUGE bowl filled with pork, rice noodles and some veggies, again with that sweet sauce for dipping. It was filling and fresh. I can't wait to go back.

    Love Love Love the bun at Co'm! The spring rolls and grape leaf wraps are good as well, but the bun is what keeps me coming back. I usually get the pork tenderloin bun. Their bun is miles better than Pho #1's, but Co'm is a pho-less Vietnamese restaurant.

    (5)
  • Jenna H.

    The duck and pork stuffed grape leaves were succulent and full of an unusual and pleasant smoky flavor. The smokiness was powerful enough to notice but also subtle and blended perfectly with the other seasonings. The meat is akin to sausage and not at al dried out.

  • Chris R.

    Ok, This place is a totally awesome fusion of healthy, asian, light and delicious. Definitely a cut above the rest of fast and reasonable Vietnamese available in Atlanta. We usually get one flat rice vermicelli with beef (do it yourself burrito) and one beef fragrant rice. If you order two Ban Hoi's for < 4 people you are wasting a lot of delicious vegetables, you will never eat them. I am going to try the lamb shank soon, but the beef is just so tasty I can't pass it up, I eat their bi-monthly. We always start with the beef/veg/fruit salad it rocks. Vietnamese iced coffee here is awesome as well, the only reason it gets 4 stars is that they don't have a decent egg roll. If they can fix that, they get 5 from me!!

  • Stricky T.

    As you walk into C'om the hint of grilled meats, charcoal and burning fluids fills the air. This may not sound appetizing but believe me it is worth the try. I ordered the grilled pork with fragrant rice. C'om is known for the open flame grilled meats and they seem to have stuck to the tradition. It was a nice meal and definitely worth a second try to explore the menu; in the meantime and in between time it was alright.

    I really like this place. Good food and reasonable prices. Great to eat in or take out. Note that there's no Pho, but you could probably get some Pho at Lee's Bakery next door, where I also get fresh bread. I recommend the chargrilled beef, as well as the green papaya salad.

    Gets five stars because of a unique combination of good, sometimes great food, and highly exceptional value. The bang for the buck is unbeatable. Highly affordable but amazing food. Atmosphere is just ok, but they more than make up for it with the food. Service is friendly. We live very close and go all the time. It used to be easy to get in on any day, but now on weekends you may have to wait a few minutes to get seated since it's become pretty popular.

    Solid dining option for Vietnamese in the Perimeter/Dunwoody area. I enjoyed my lunch here. I shared the make your own style wraps, or Banh-Hoi flat rice vermicelli with lamb, and thought it was quite good. I also tried the creamy coconut soup which with chicken which was tasty, but have had better at Thai joints. The standout for me was the Com's seared rare tuna salad which was heavenly with all the shredded fruits (papaya, mango, apple) and happened to be the perfect cool summer lunch on a hot day.

    Get this fish! Get the fish! All the Vietnamese who come here seem to gravitate toward the whole fried fish with a big platter of greens, basil, and other assorted fragrant leaves. They serve it with rice paper wraps so you can make your own rolls. It is a big whole fish, so only do this if you're a party of four--though I think you can order a half fish, which is fine for two hungry people. Watch out for bones! Also, it takes about 45 minutes, so if you order this dish you should make a reservation and go ahead and tell them you're getting the fish. Honky tip: pretend it is a Vietnamese burrito...you once had to learn about burritos, right? Rice wraps are admittedly a bit more delicate. Com uses a really hearty brand of rice paper, so it doesn't fall apart as easily as others. However, it is easy to let the paper stick to itself and it becomes a sticky mess...try not dipping it in the hot water quite as long as you might be tempted to (it isn't pasta, and doesn't require much time. Remember that you are reconstituting it, not cooking it.) Also this is a whole fish, meaning whole fish: bones, head and tail. This is how the rest of the world eats fish. It is good to feel personally connected with your food; look your dinner right in the eye. Speaking of Mexican food, my wife ordered some kind of a beef tenderloin dish that came on a sizzling iron skillet with onions and red peppers...just like fajitas. It was tender and yummy, but a bit of a disappointment since we were expecting something different. It was a bizarre experience to be in a Buford Hwy Vietnamese restaurant and have a dish that we could have ordered in an insipid Chilli's or Applebee's. We just didn't know any better...it wasn't C'om's fault at all. Other recs: b'un and grape leaf-wrapped appies. The pork and lamb are the most flavorful. I don't know exactly what is in that broth typically served with b'un and other rice noodle varieties, but it is amazing here.

    See the thing is I have a very delicate palate so it can be quite challenging at times. But I've been getting the same thing time and time again - the dish with beef and flat rice that has a side of fresh and very green lettuce, basil, mint, cilantro and some slices of carrot and other veggies. Except the beef keeps getting spicier and spicier that I'm at the point that I can't even eat it. And my friend - who likes spicy food - even thought it was too hot. I went though 3 glasses of water (when I usually barely get through one). And for some reason they never were refilling my friend's water glass (was it because he was male?). I think I may have to stop for a while and meander to some new places on Buford Hwy.

    Yummy Vietnamese on Buford Hwy! The food here is really good - very fresh and light - and the prices are really cheap. I got the impression that this is where Americans go for Vietnamese food, so I'd probably prefer to go to a place that's not as well known next time. I did really like feeling satisfied without feeling like I ate too much. It felt like a good, healthy meal.

    I absolutely love the pork tenderloin bun and spring rolls but was really disappointed by the chicken curry. My instinct said to not order the curry and, as usual, I should have listened but instead took the advice of the waiter. The pork was SO flavorful, smoky from the grill, and worked perfectly over the noodles and lettuce. The same can be said for the spring rolls. Next time, I am ordering two bun dishes. The Vietnamese beer, "33", was nice as well. The free chocolate dessert was a nice touch at the end.

    WOW! Service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I tried the BBQ pork and the shrimp rice dish. I want to know their grilling secret. A friend of mine recommended this place and decided to try it. The mix of meat and vegetables is well balanced and the portions just right. I left with the take out menu.

    What a delightful restaurant. We had the duck stuffed grape leaves, the beef fragrant rice and the beef vermicelli. Nice crunch pieces of beef, well prepared. Everything was very tasty. The service was very pleasant and it was clear they were going out of their way to ensure repeat business - it showed in the appreciative way several employees told us they appreciated us choosing their restaurant for Friday night dinner. The place is simple, inexpensive, clean (rare to find clean ceilings/vents!). For sure we will add it to our list of inexpensive dinner out places. I see that some reviewers are all out of sorts because they don't serve Pho. Vietnamese food is actually quite diverse. Many times Viet grilled meat type restaurants do not serve Pho. Looks like Lee's Bakery in the same shopping center serves Pho. Enjoy this restaurant for what it does right - grilled meat dishes.

    Vermicelli and rice dishes aside, there's one thing I love unequivocally about Com: their green drink. Don't look for it on the menu because I'm pretty sure you'll only find Vietnamese Cappucino, aka Cafe Sua Da, aka iced espresso with condensed milk (also very good, and it comes already mixed so you don't have to wait for the espresso press to slowly drip drip drip while you eat your meal). In any case, this Slimer-colored drink is a super-sweet coconut concoction, and I only stumbled across it by spying on another Viet family in the corner. When the waiter brought them a tray full of bright green drinks, I couldn't resist ordering a glass for myself. My mom found it too sweet, while a friend likened the taste to Captain Crunch cereal. If you're up for something new, try this tasty treat. Just don't ask me why it's green.

    Yum. I think this place should be investigated because they have to be putting something in their marinade that has me addicted. The decor is pretty blah, but who cares--with food this good I would sit in the parking lot.

    I love Com's yummy food, but I also love to poke fun at it bc it only became popular after Cliff Bostock's Creative Loafing review. The food is really fresh and they used to give you a huge plate of greens to go with it (now there is a $3 charge). It is generally cleaner and prettier than most restaurants on Buford Highway and the service is a little bit better as well. They, at least, bring your appetizers before your entrees =) The papaya and green mango salads are awesome and the chargrilled meats have great flavor. The lamb spring roll is really good as well. I love that I can eat here and not feel guilty because everything is so green, fresh, and healthy. I go here with my family and friends and they all love it. The wait staff is cute, too.

    I've been to the Com in Dunwoody several times, but I've never been to the one on Buford until this weekend. The interior isn't as nice as the one in Dunwoody. It's actually a lot smaller. I came here for a girls night out dinner and the food was excellent! I was craving the DIY wraps, so we ordered it for 4 people. Out came a huge place of lettuce leaves, herbs, thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes. Along with pancake like flat noodles and then a serving platter of meat. I was amazed at all the meat they gave us. We ordered the beef and it was well flavored with green and red peppers. Once you wrap everything together in the rice paper, the flavor is amazing! This dish can easily feed 5 girls that like to eat! We probably had 4-5 wraps each. We also ordered the Com Goi shrimp salad which was very tasty! It was mixed with apples, green mango, green papaya, veggies, and herbs. It was a crispy and light salad. I loved it! The service wasn't all that. We had to ask for refills several times and they never asked us how our food was or if we needed anything. It seemed like they were short staffed. We had 4 in our party and paid $13 per person with tax and tip. If you are craving something different, but want something hearty, then order the DIY wraps. You won't be disappointed, especially with all the meat they give you!

    Co'm Grill was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants I was introduced to in Atlanta. Unlike the plethora of pho noodle shops and handful of banh mi joints up and down Buford Highway, Co'm differentiates itself by specializing in authentic Vietnamese rolls/wraps and rice dishes. The word "co'm" means rice in Vietnamese (or "eat" depending on how you use it). Fellow neighbors Chateau de Saigon, Quan Ba 9, and Nam Phuong 2 offer similar dishes, but Co'm was the first. The restaurant is located in the same strip mall as banh mi-favorite Lee's Bakery and taco stand El Senor Taco. Co'm has a more inviting and upscale feel to it when compared to the more "adventurous" and divey Vietnamese joints along this corridor. As such, it has a larger following and more non-Asian clientele than is typical for Asian restaurants in this area. The space inside the restaurant itself is a little small and sometimes, there can be a short wait for a booth or table to open up. I've never been disappointed with a dish here. My favorite dishes include the bo la lot (beef wrapped in betel leaves), goi salad (green papaya salad), fragrant rice dishes, and rice vermicelli noodles with pork. The betel leaves (easily confused with grape leaves) are dark in color and have a firm texture. This gives the rolls an extra snap to them. You can order the betel wraps with several different kinds of meat. I personally prefer the beef. The wraps are quite juicy and flavorful and come with a light, sweet dipping sauce. Papaya salad is a popular Southeast Asian dish. The version at Co'm uses freshly sliced green papaya and green mango as its main ingredients. It's an expectedly sweet and sour, cold dish. Definitely worth a try if you've never had papaya salad before. The fragrant rice dishes come with a poached egg on top along with the meat of your choice and various diced, pickled vegetables such as carrots. The plates are both filling and appetizing. The rice vermicelli noodle dishes are served in the following manner: vegetables on bottom, clumps of thin, white noodles in the middle, and betel-leaf-wrapped meats on top sprinkled with bits of fried onion. I like the pork with my noodles. It's savory. Prices at Co'm are mostly comparable to its non-pho peers. Service is generally on point and parking is not a problem.

    AMAZING!!! Went to the taco joint next door and they had no ac on a 95 degree day. So, we went next door and man am i happy we did!!!! We started off with the duck roll and a beef roll..GREAT CHOICE...Then I had the Lobster Curry that was AMAZING and it was only $16.00!!!!!!!! Service as EXCELLENT...I highly recommend this place!

  • Bo T.

    Decided to go after my colleague kept raving about C'om Grill. It's a bit out of the way if you're only in Atlanta for business like I was, which means you usually just end up in downtown Atlanta with no easy access to other areas of the city. Lucky for me, I managed to get someone to come and take me. Great flavors, though I wouldn't call it authentic. Ordered the curry chicken, grilled prawn bun, and a beef salad. I also liked that their rice was a bit crispy. Unexpectedly they brought us dessert after the meal - not good for my waist, but a nice gesture for diners.

    We don't normally venture out to the various eateries on Buford Highway, but decided to check this place out while we were dog/house sitting in Brookhaven and saw that it had great Yelp reviews. I'm sure glad we checked this place out! The space is nice and the restaurant has a good amount of tables for a small restaurant. We did not have to wait for a table but I could see how on a busy night this place would fill up. A very friendly server came to our table and made sure we didn't have any questions about the menu. He even upgraded my wife's wine when she ordered the house. I tried the Vietnamese beer, "33", based on a recommendation from our server and it was pretty good. We ordered the Special Combo Fried Egg Rolls and the Pork Co'm Spring Rolls. Both were really good, especially the Bang Bang Lamb Wantons...they were amazing. We split the Flat Rice Vermicelli (Banh Hoi) with grilled lamb and 5 shrimp. I don't have a lot of experience with Vietnamese food, but I loved this dish. It came with several pieces of leaf lettuce that you made wraps with. It also came with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, peanuts, and thin rice noodle pieces. The meat was very well seasoned and tasted great. The fish sauce on the side complements the meal well. The only thing that was missing was some Sriracha on the table, but to be honest the food was really good and I didn't miss it. After the meal we were pretty full considering we split an entrée, but the waiter told us to save room for a free dessert. We got some ice cream and a layered chocolate cake. It was a good sized portion considering it was a free dessert, and we both thought it was really good. Overall we really loved this place and will be back. The menu was very reasonably priced and the food was excellent. I can't wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu. Going here really makes me want to try other joints on Buford Highway...but something tells me I will be back here a few times before I venture out to other places.

    Thought this place would be much better than it was. It had a really bad smell when we walked in, but as it is with most smelly rooms, we got used to it after about ten minutes. Also, it could use a good scrub. The mini-blinds were covered in dust. The menu is creative, with French items mixed in among the traditional Viet stuff. For an app, I got the lamb grape leaves, which I had never seen before on a Vietnamese menu. They were delicious! Wife got spring rolls for her app, and she enjoyed. However, she wished for some peanut sauce to no avail. For her entree, she got her standard vermicelli dish, which she found satisfactory. The noodles were not great. I ordered traditional pho, which did not disappoint. The music was actually really good, with lots of modern dance stuff. Pretty surprising, actually. Overall, it was a good lunch. Nothing to write home about, though.

    Wonderful grape leaves stuffed with duck and extremely fresh spring rolls. Food came quickly, but there was only one other couple dining at the time. My boyfriend ordered the french salmon and shrimp and it was not that great, but my beef and chicken vermicelli was to die for!

    What all da habbub, bud? Err... Came here with a buddy that was in town before looking it up on yelp, so I had no expectations. After looking it up and thinking it over, I can't see why this place is so highly regarded. I came and felt obligated to order some com dia because well the friggin place is called com so I got the grilled lamb... Da meal.... - what the hell is all this green stuff on my rice? They threw on some unidentifiable stir fried veg. all over my rice. - Where mah pickled dikon and carrots, bro? - Can't a brotha get some bi (the shredded pork skin, damn i love this stuff)?! - The last straw was my overcooked egg - my cha was only okay and not very memorable. - The lamb had a nice charcolly flavor if thats what floats your boat. - Oh, I randomly had a small pile of char siu on mah plate. Wish there was more. I don't like getting teased. Don't tempt a fat man. My GF got the lemon grass and chilli pepper chicken only I think they substituted spicy for extra salt. My friends left hungry. "What the hell is wrong with the porkchop, its so small." Pretty much sums up the com bi xuon chung.

    so, i heard from people that this resto serves good foooood and checked on yelp, it got 4 stars rating. It made me wanna try. why not? right? we went here party of 7 people for dinner. it's busy but okay the server told us to wait for 5mins but we ended wait for table for at least 20mins. there're several few empy tables but because somebody reserved it so the server couldnt give it to us. (this part really the only thing that brought the stars down!) long story short, we ordered different types of dishes so we can try stuff. my favs: the salad with salmon, veggie spring rolls, and the rice dish w/ shredded pork and lemongrass seasoned chicken. come for dinner n u'll get free matcha ice cream! it was delishhhhh..... the atmosphere is really different than any casual vietnamese resto u ever went. this resto has a really nice ambient. that's all i can say.

    My friend wanted to meet here for our girlie dinner date. I have been to so many different Vietnamese places that going here didn't excite me. I had trouble finding this place because it doesn't stand out from the road or anything and is hidden in a tiny shopping center. Very limited parking and kind of tight spaces. The atmosphere was much nicer than most Vietnamese places I've been to and the decor was very nice. They were quick to seat us and give us menus. I ordered spring rolls and a vermicelli dish. The spring rolls came out quickly and tasted very fresh. I loved the vermicelli! The vegetables were fresh and the pork was cooked very well and had a good flavor to it. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. I read a few Yelp reviews after and now want to go back and get a rice dish. Mmm...now I am dreaming of spring rolls!

    This place leads you into the idea that they are authentic but everything has been Americanized! Everything had sugar added from the fish sauce, papaya salad and pho. When we asked why everything was so sweet, the waiter confirmed that the American customers like it. If you walk into an ethnic restaurant and other than the wait staff being Asian you should probably leave.

    First time for lunch with RayRay the other day. This place is much more up to date and clean than some of the other Buford highway options, so the ambiance is definitely above average for the location. It is in the same shopping center as Lee's Bakery and a stone's throw from Havana so it's no wonder it took so long for us to try this place because we are normally lured into Lee's for their amazing pho and grilled pork bahn mi sammies. This place should NOT be overlooked however because it's also pretty damn awesome. We had their spring rolls which were packed full of super fresh herbs and served with a tasty dipping sauce. I actually like their spring roll's better than the ones at Lee's. I had rice vermicelli with grilled shrimp and RayRay had the same with chicken. My only complaint is that the shrimp were really small, but there were enough of them for it to be an appropriate portion for lunch. Otherwise the shrimp were tasty and well seasoned with a discernible "grilled" flavor that is really nice. The vermicelli is served with shredded fresh veggies and a super light "dressing" that was a nice blend of sweet and savory. All very good and a great value for around $20 for lunch. We will be back! :)

    Traditional Vietnamese dishes at its finest! Loved the Vietnamese broken rice. These aren't your typical Jasmine rice served in your everyday Asian restaurant. I haven't had this in a looooong time since I moved from California to Chicago. I was in heaven. I ordered the thit bo luc lac, which roughly translates to shaking beef... over rice. Sorry to disappoint you, but the beef does NOT shake. It's simply named after the shaking of the wok when you cook it. The rice dish came with a side of salt, pepper, and lime dipping sauce (muoi tieu chanh), which you'd dip the cube-shaped beef in. It was delicious, if not a little salty... This is where if my dad was there, he'd joked "They killed a man last night (the salt truck driver)." (It's funnier heard in Chinese). The beef sits on top of a bed of lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. I ended up asking for more slices of cucumbers and tomatoes as it was too salty for me. Then, to my surprise, they brought me a complimentary slice of dessert... Chocolaty and coffee flavored. Yum! You can tell that it's been sitting in the fridge as the plate was cold. But who cares, it was free and delicious! Now, since I usually travel to Atlanta for work, I took a cab out to this place from downtown. BAD IDEA! Just a warning: you can't get a cab to pick you up from this restaurant to go back downtown. It's impossible! I was lucky that the owner offered me a ride back to the city. As this was the case, I don't think I'll be going back to the restaurant anytime soon if I don't have a guaranteed ride back to my hotel. And well, there goes my idea of an adventure trip out of downtown Atlanta to find Asian restaurants.

    Had a perfect first-time experience on a Monday for lunch. Our server had great suggestions for my husband and I had the usual- pho. The Crispy pork spring roll...perfect. Great pho broth. Awesome flounder/rice/salad dish. Pleasant atmosphere. I go to Lee's bakery next door almost everyday and El Señor Taco, can't believe I waited so long to come here. A new/old favorite!

    I was here the other night with the boyfriend. We were here around 8ish on a Friday night. It was semi pack. I ordered the mango/papaya salad with lamb meat. I was skeptical because whenever I have lamb meat, the meat usually has a strong odor. At co'm grill, I didn't smell anything and it was very good. We finish this dish pretty fast. My boyfriend ordered the beef wrapped in grape leaves because that is one of his favorite dish. It was soft and chewy (like expected) and very fragrant. We also ordered the vermicelli dish with shrimp and chicken. We opt out of rolling our own spring rolls so instead we just used the lettuce. It was delicious! The meat was tender and soft, not dry like most grilled chicken. The shrimp was also very good! Overall, our experience was really good! The service was phenomenal! I enjoy it very much! The wait staff and manager was always checking if we had a good meal. Being a waitress before, I enjoy having the same treatment I give out. Kudos to them! The last thing that made our dinner even better was that we were offered complimentary desserts! We got green tea ice cream and mango cakes. It was very good! All in all, give this place a try! It's definitely worth the money!

    My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta. Many of the dishes served here are pretty unique. You must try the grape leaves stuffed with duck. The leaves have a crunchy smoked flavor and the duck filling is perfectly juicy. My favorite dish is the mixture of herbs and salad with noodles and bbq pork. Pour a tumbler of the fish sauce on top and you'll fall in love! I always think I'll never finish the entire bowl and I always do - scraping up the last dollops of sauce and wishing there was more. The atmosphere is tranquil and the service is always friendly and very professional. Love this place.

    Have been eating Vietnamese food for a good 15yrs and have been in great restaurants, however this place sets itself from the others with great variety of food and let's not mention the taste . Small casual place nothing fancy but with huge potential . We Dine here at least two times a week and besides the great taste, another thing that I have come to notice is the consistency of their meals which are always 100% consistent with absolutely zero changes (Huge plus) and let's not forget the customer service . They are very attentive and extremely polite and that's what you everyone really look for during your visit to a establishment . The price: Super lower prices imo for such a great quality really makes this place my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant . Just so you know, I drive 20 minutes for this each way ....

    This was my first visit to this restaurant as we were really up for good Vietnamese food. The last place I tried it in Atlanta was at Nam near Piemont Park. It was awesome. Anyhow this was a less than fair experience. The short ribs were chewy and thinly sliced, and flavorless. I ordered the tuna salad and it was ok, not great. The tuna was very thinly sliced and pink, not a deep red as I usually see it. It was basically tasteless. Also had the Sampler Plate which was expensive with no item that was outstanding. Shrimp were dry and the chicken flat. The egg rolls were stuffed with a dough like substance; not quite sure what it was but palatable. The other fried dumpling items were overdone with thick crusts and with minimal stuffing. The ice cream crape was ok. The kicker came when I received the bill for $101 and change. I paid cash with 122 dollars and told the waiter to keep the change. Another person brought back the 35 cent change and quickly left the table. I called to him and when he came back to the table, I told him I left $122. He responded that I left $102 and walked off. I counted the money twice leaving 6 $20's and 2 singles. I looked for the waiter and did not see him. Something was definitely wrong. I am not planning on going back. Somehow I feel like I was hoodwinked. Big price for a two appetizer 2 entree meal with one dessert and water. Food was comparable to frozen pre done Asian fare but over cooked. I did not see the supposed French influence in their cooking, which their menu spoke of.

    There are many Vietnamese restaurants along this highway. While the food here was decent, I might not go back. We ordered papaya salads to split. The combination of mango, papaya, and Apple was good, but the sauce masked the freshness (or hoped freshness) of the ingredients. We had main meals of pho, which were good but not outstanding. Looking forward to trying other places along this highway or maybe other dishes on this menu.

    Holy Cow! Where have you been C'om? First off, the waiter and owner were SUPER PATIENT. There were noisy kids when we entered at 8 PM and they were polite, patient, and served them and came over to check on us when we needed something. We ordered: - Pot grilled beef & shrimps for 3-4 patrons: I think this feeds 3 hungry dudes. First off, they give a lot of rice paper (where you dip it in and make a spring roll out of the mountains of grilled beef and shrimp they give you). We ate everything and the plates were empty in about 15 minutes and the owner just looked at us and asked if we wanted some more rice paper. Well by the time he brought it over, he realized we had empty plates so he gave us a small plate of beef and veggies. What a guy! - Complimentary ice cream and coffee cake ended the meal. I don't know if everyone gets this but we sure felt special. The ice cream had a hint of chocolate chip in it and the coffee cake was a nice complement to the ice cream. The restaurant is clean. The bathroom is clean. Service was great. I'll have to come back!

    *rubs belly* Food: 4. I got the pork chop fragrant rice and was blown by all the mouth watering obstacles in the dish. I've never had a dish like that and was pleased. The grape leaves roll was quite underwhelming, despite the other rave reviews about it. Service: 3. Met expectations Location: 3. Location is in an outdoor strip, why is this the generic Buford setup. Ambience was so meh. I would like to revisit.

    Com (I'm told it's pronounced Gum) is one of the countless Vietnamese places on Buford hwy. While others might focus on Pho (noodle soup), Gum focuses on rice and noodle dishes. My particular favorite at the place are the square vermicelli noodles with pork, beef, or shrimp. These noodles you can wrap with the bean sprouts, carrots, or mints to form a mini sandwich. This you can dip in the sweet fish sauce which tastes very addictive. It's helped by the fact that the meat is not overdone and marinated well. My only complaint is that the meat quantity isn't that much so you might have to be judicious in the way you make your sandwiches. Generally it's a bit more expensive than some other places, maybe 10-15 total per person depending on what you get, but it's definitely worth a try when you're in the mood for something other than Pho.

    Great dinner. Started with a lamb wonton appetizer that had some very tasty meat in it. The entrees were both excellent: the grilled shrimp piccata with mashed taro, and a pork and shrimp dish. The former, under the category of French-Vietnamese fusion, stood out as something distinctive and unexpected, I'd love to eat it again. Terrific time.

  • Leanne E.

    Absolutely delicious! We began our meal with the meatless mango salad, which was better than expected. The appetizer of choice was a combo with two shrimp egg rolls and two crispy pastry filled with what they described as bang bang lamb. Seriously, I could eat a truckload full of these and be super happy. My sweetie chose the shaken beef. I would reccommend this dish with a side of chili paste and a mango salad on the side. Sweet and hot perfect combo. I chose the shrimp curry and the curry was tasty, but next time I will get the shaken beef. So tender and flavorful. Oh and there is complimentary cake and ice cream at the end!

    This place is very funky for a Vietnamese restaurant. It doesn't seem to serve typical Vietnamese fare as far as my own experiences go, however it is fantastic. The decor does not look like much. It is small but very simple and elegant with several tables scattered around in addition to a few booths. The service was excellent, and we were helped even though the place was about to close. In fact we were told to stay as long as we liked, which was very surprising given they were about to close. For our entree's we got fragrant rice with chicken, as well as pho. Both looked and tasted very different from normal, but they were both excellent. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, the chicken was cooked and seasoned very nicely, and the chicken pho is probably the best I have ever had, and I tend to not like it. In all, I would highly suggest to visit this place. If you like Vietnamese food or want to try something different. I would give this place a try.

    I went here the other night for a family member's birthday dinner celebration. Overall a positive experience but i cannot say I am in a hurry to return for a repeat visit. I was happy with my meal. I got the pho with sliced australian lamb for my main and the duck grape leaves as a starter. Others at my table complained that the food was served luke warm or cold. Perhaps that is the norm for certain dishes. My soup was hot and my duck grape leaves were warm. The duck grape leaves were served on a bed of herbs, veggies and glass vermicelli noodles; an amount that was more of a garnish and had some kind of vinegary broth. The soup came with a tray of herbs and spouts (smallish compared to others at nearby pho places). The rest of my party had opted for rice and vermicelli dishes. A couple of dinner party members got the com special vermicelli dish which had egg and pork on top of noodles. I did not sample other dishes and I did not hear any any complaints (other than food temp issues / preferences. And perhaps some portioning issues. Most loved the Taro side dish (I did not try it as I am not a fan of taro). The only real complaints were for service issues. Members of my party supplied a cake for the birthday lady of the group; the cake was held in the kitchen during the dinner. We had the waiter bring the cake out after the dinner ended. They forgot to bring us forks, so we had to sit there awkwardly for a few minutes. We had to wait to eat the cake only until they brought us spoons (not forks). Perhaps eating cake with spoons is the norm in certain circles. Bottom Line: Co'm is decidedly different from other nearby Vietnamese places and is decidedly fancier and perhaps more of an upscale French - Vietnamese bistro; however, I was not wowed by the flavors as some other reviewers have described. Overall I'd like to give this place a 3.5 or four star rating; however, due to some food temperature issues and service issues during my visit, I will dispense with three.

    Authentic! I was impressed by the extensive menu. For my first time, I went with their rice (com) dish with lamb. The combination of vegetables and fish sauce was so flavorful. The smell of the grill from lamb added to the experience. I also tried the meat wrapped in grape leaves. I was pleasantly surprised by the burst of flavor from one bite. The spring roll is different from what I expected. It did not have the usual vermicelli but it was tightly packed with many ingredients! The meal ended with complimentary dessert. Some sort of mousse chocolate/coffee slice and vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to go back to try a vermicelli dish. Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. The parking lot looked a bit crowded since it was shared but I found parking immediately when I arrived.

    Being a frequent patron of Lee's Bakery and El Senor Taco, I'd always been curious about 'C'om', its menu boasts modern vietnamese and "Indochine" cuisine - though in my experience, modern vietnamese is a much more fitting category than the latter. We came in on a mid Saturday morning, and it was fairly empty the duration of our meal - a few customers trickled in towards the end. A quick note: if you're looking to try the brunch menu, you'll have to ask for it - as our servers handed us their standard menu; Their standard was fine with us though - everything on the menu sounded delicious, here's everything we tried: -Lobster Spring Rolls ($7.50): I couldn't resist ordering these, and they were pretty tasty, there wasn't much lobster though, there were about two-three halves, and a few bits of chicken thrown in. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the rolls were accompanied with a sweet chili sauce, which is my favorite compliment to spring rolls. -Grilled Shrimp Piccata and Smashed Taro in Curry Gravy ($13.95): The highlight of my meal! The shrimp were delicious, with a lovely flavor, and they were served with a light pesto sauce. Smashed taro is fast becoming one of my favorite foods, they do a great rendition the dish here - my only qualm is that the consistency was a bit watery - but the flavor didn't reflect it at all - it was a very full and rich taro flavor, and the curry gravy just brought it to a whole other level - it wasn't spicy at all (thankfully), there was just a slight kick. -Ph beef--bò ($7.50): I only tried the broth, which I found to be fairly decent. The boyfriend said overall it was okay, but he prefers when the protein is served rare in the broth, and with the pho here it seems as if the meat is fully cooked when served. I'm looking forward to returning and trying their other dishes, particularly a few items from their brunch items. The staff is very friendly and attentive; great eats all around in this plaza!

    Fantastic food and a great service, every dish we ordered was amazing.I cannot wait to go back. Make sure you order the stuffed grape leaves, we had it stuffed with duck and it was the highlight of the experience. The basil rice rolls and the signature salad are very good.

  • Meghan H.

    We had the shrimp and lamb lettuce wraps, soft shrimp spring rolls, and fried pork spring rolls. Everything was amazingly fresh, delicious and healthy. They accidentally thought I ordered one order of the lettuce wraps when I called in to pick up, but profusely apologized, offered me something to drink while I waited, and included complimentary dessert. The service was warm and friendly, and I will definitely be back!

    Excellent food and prices. Service can occasionally get overwhelmed, but always friendly. We've tried more expensive places with worse food, service etc. I travel a lot and eat out a lot and this is one of the best restaurant values I've seen anywhere.

  • Sheena S.

    What can I not say about this place! It's tucked away in a little shopping center but once inside, it's very cozy. I went on a Friday night and the place wasn't too busy. We got a table right away. My boyfriend ordered the Shrimp Bun (pronounced "boon") that came with vermicelli noodles. Full of flavor and yummy. I didn't care for the peanuts but he enjoyed them. I ordered the beef Pho which was amazing. They bring a side plate of condiments to add to the dish that includes mint, lime and bean sprouts- all very yummy. The dish is huge and my boyfriend had to help me finish. They gave us complementary dessert which is sort of like a mocha cake with ice cream and chocolate drizzled on top. They had great service and were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

    BUN THIT NUONG TOM COMBO rice vermicelli with grilled beef and shrimp. Ummmm. Wow. Yes. One of the best bowls of bun I've had in a long time. I love the wider bowls too, much easier to eat. Grilled meats were lean but so flavorful, grilled shrimp perfection. Lots of fresh veggies and fried onions. Who doesn't love fried onions?! LOBSTER SPRING ROLLS Genius. Huge lobster pieces with sushi ginger wrapped inside veggie spring roll. Yummy. It came with fish sauce but I think I might like it with peanut sauce better. FRESH SALAD WITH MANGO - GOI The best Asian salad ever. I love eating goi in the summertime, and I usually get it with a seared meat like venison but this was all veggie. I absolutely loved it. Dressing has fish sauce in it though. FRIED TOFU So good. I have a thing for fried tofu. Although the pieces were a bit small, the fried tofu were so good. Comes with soy sauce. COCONUT WATER Not my favorite at all. I think it came from a can so it was just OK. Didn't taste fresh. MOCHA CAKE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM Complimentary dessert. It was delicious. The mocha was nicely flavored, not to overpowering. Vanilla ice cream is winner.

    There are so many great Vietnamese places off of Buford highway, I have no idea why you would go here. The food was below average and it took them over an hour to serve me my pho (the place was dead and I was by myself). I don't understand the great ratings this place has.

    I am truly soooooo disappointed in this place. I used to frequent this location pretty often, but haven't gone towards this side of buford highway in the past year or so. it wasn't until last week when me & the bf were trying to introduce this restaurant to our friends for the first time. upon our visit, I noticed that com grill has hired lots of new faces. I didn't think anything of it, but man.. I was in for a disappointment. it took awhile for someone to notice we were waiting for a table. the restaurant wasn't even busy. out of the 15 tables they had, only 3 tables were occupied with customers. then after we were seated, they quickly brought us water, which was misleading since that was when I thought it picked up. BUT NOPE. that water drop off was the last we saw of them for 10 minutes. we were getting very impatient that we had to flag someone down to ask for a menu. then when we got our menus, they didn't even want to come check up on us to see if we were ready to order. I just don't understand what these servers or management was thinking. maybe the main store manager wasn't there to check on his employees, but these servers were slacking like hell. throughout the meal, no one ever checked on how we were doing or refilled our waters. also, when you're done with your meal.. they usually give you complimentary desserts for dining in on a weekday. we saw them drop off a free dessert for a lady that was eating alone, but they chose to just drop off our bill with nothing; not even a "thank you"..... this has got the be one of the worst services/experiences I have ever experienced. definitely never returning here.

    This is our go-to restaurant, the one we picked on the first day we moved into Brookhaven. It is a small restaurant tucked away in a corner of a busy shopping center behind a gas station. Parking can be tight, but there is parking around the front and back of the gas station. If we have been 6 times we have been 12. Inside, the restaurant is simple and elegant. The staff is attentive and quite helpful about the menu. The food is amazing and my wife and I always try to decide who will order the fragrant rice with lamb since it is so good. Every one of the fragrant rice dishes are great but the lamb is special. I have sampled many items on the menu and all have the same attention to taste as well as presentation. Eat in and you get a small desert - a nice touch. We went in recently and they wrote our name and wishes for the new year in sauce. Very cute. Prices are great, service is quick, and food is wonderful. Go.

    I am so disappointed in myself for not trying out Com Grill earlier! The customer service was spectacular. The food was delicious and refreshing! The chicken in the chicken pho is so tender! My siblings and I enjoyed everything that we ate. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy more food. The bathrooms were clean and the atmosphere was upscale.

  • Pierre W.

    My normal routine at this hidden restaurant on Buford highway is: 1) walk in and be greeted by one of the very friendly servers who always recognize us )or at least pretend like they do). 2)sit down and order a fresh squeezed OJ (definitely recommend! Always great) 3)order the fragrant rice with chicken. I would try something else but this is SO good I would rather not. food is consistent and good but not GREAT. Good for a while but we are getting sick of this restaurant. Would recommend Com!

  • Maitreyee R.

    After a couple of previous good food experiences here, to give this place 3 stars breaks my heart. The other night My husband and I decided to go here with a bunch of friends. I decided to get my usual grape rolls with lamb which did not disappoint but what did was the yellow curry I decided to try. I specifically asked for spicy but was served with an overtly sweet curry and my friend who had ordered the same was given a perfectly spicy curry. I told my server and she willingly said she would fix it but brought me back my plate by adding a little spicy sauce to it! Now it had weird sweet spicy flavor. Though they do serve you nice deserts on the house, it could not change my disappointing experience. I would probably go back for the grape rolls but nothing else.

    (Longer version on my food blog) I've reviewed Co'm a few times, but it was while visiting it twice in one week (dinner and a few days later for lunch) that I felt I needed to comment again. It's difficult to shoehorn Co'm into any particular style of cuisine - it's definitely Vietnamese (heck is says that in the name) but it's not your typical pho restaurant - you can go to any number of Ph places all along the Buford Hwy corridor and elsewhere as it's become ubiquitous for this style of cuisine. In fact, I don't believe Co'm even had that classic Vietnamese soup/noodle dish on the menu until recently, and while the pho here is good, it's not the reason I love this restaurant so much. Rather than expend energy trying to define the niche Northern or Southern style of Vietnamese traditional cooking, Co'm's approach is more international and I believe French influenced (although many would argue that this is more of an American affectation, rather than a French one - I still think the bread-and-stew, variety of meats and baguettes point more towards the French occupation of the South rather than an American influence). Whatever you want to call it, Co'm has become one of my favorite restaurants in the many years I've visited. Co'm rests in the corner of an shopping center tucked behind a Chevron station - the better known Lee's Bakery is on the front end and Co'm rests several businesses behind it. When you walk in you'll find a very clean, borderline upscale restaurant with booths and tables. The service at Co'm is frankly fantastic - it's rare to find people who care so much for their patrons and if you've ever been to Asia you will never question the bad service you receive in many other Asian restaurants. Thankfully the owners of Co'm have more of an American take on service with quick attentiveness and water refills. The first thing you'll notice when you view the menu is that it's rather no-nonsense - just a list of interesting items by type: Appetizers, Fried Specialties, Signature Salads, Grilled Grape Leaves, French Indochine - what?! Page two continues with Co'm dishes, but the real stand-out for me is the Bún dishes (rice vermicelli) - both are similar, you basically get the ingredients listed in small piles, either on rice or rice pasta. Typically you mix it all together with a generous portion of sweet-sour fish sauce. Page three explores the Flat Rice Vermicelli (Búnh Hi), the Shaking Wok specialty (something I recommend to friends who have never had Vietnamese - between this and the Ph I usually get them hooked) and finally the Ph itself. Page four has some very special "French Inspired Indochine Selections" - basically the Vietnamese version of Chinese dishes - these are very special indeed. The menu finishes up with various juice selections - if you come for dinner you get a great scoop of coffee ice cream and delicate cream cakes (this last part is included). Interestingly, the last time I visited (for lunch AND a different group), we basically ordered the same as the previous time. For me, the Bún with grilled lamb grape rolls is my favorite (note that it was pointed out to me that although the leaf is similar to grape, it's actually wild betel leaf - something I'm not too familiar with but delicious nonetheless) - these rolls are made up of meat (here the options are tofu, beef, lamb or duck) rolled in betel and grilled so they have a smoky flavor. You mix with fresh veggies and the fish-sauce and chow down. The second and third items that my group had were the Ph and one of the Indochine selections, the Ginger Chicken. We started with some duck grape rolls (a good way to see if you like them without committing). All were quite good and satisfying. What I like about this restaurant is that through all the time I've been coming here for lunch and dinner, it's remained steadfast in it's food quality, and consistent in service. What more can you ask for? Elevating this one to 5 stars.

    I got to admit this place isn't so bad. Food was good or maybe I was hungry.. JK!!! Food was really good. This place is kind of small but food made up for it. This place is a mixture of Vietnamese/ Thai and american too it. I heard a couples of people said this place was pretty good, so I went here with my BF. I got Com with everything and my bf got the steak something. I think my dish was better than his. He was so sad that the dish wasn't the same as last time he was here but who care!! All I care was if my dish was good or not. Happy Anh equal happy review. My Com Special fragrant rice was pretty good. The rib wasn't dry and it was pretty flavorful. I wish the soup taste a little better. It wasn't the best soup I had when I order any rice dishes. I would give this place a 5 stars if their restroom was a little cleaner and better lighting. I have never been to a place that has bad lighting in the restroom. When you turn on the light, it feel like the light was about to die out and you can't even see anything. It will take you about 2 to 3mins to adjusted to the lighting before your eyes can see anything. Really, this place really need to change that restroom lighting, like COME ON they are rich enough to have better lighting in the restroom.

    This is one of the better Vietnamese places in th e Atlanta area. I've been here twice and gotten the build it yourself pork platter twice, which was very tasty. The prices for the dishes are absurdly low. The only problem is that it's a little out of the way on buford Highway.

Stop in you won't be disappointed!

    I'm a regular here. Never had a bad experience with the food or service. The staff are super friendly. The ambience is better than most Vietnamese restaurants on Buford Highway. Usually when a restaurant offers so many items it becomes a game of hit or miss, and you are reduced to ordering the same few items each time. However, that does not apply to Com. The spring rolls, grape leaves, papaya salads, vermicelli, rice dishes, curry dishes, and other speciality items are all delicious. On top of that they offer complimentary desert (ice cream and cake) for dinner.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in a small strip mall. The prices are amazing for the portion sizes and the menu items are flavorful and cooked to perfection. My bf and I come here about once every 2 months, and if we lived closer we would probably go every week. It is the best Vietnamese food around and the free dessert and sweet management always makes our day. Do me a favor and try it for yourselves! The papaya salad and chipotle thai chicken are great appetizers and my favorite entree are the do-it-yourself wraps with grilled pork. I leave happy and satisfied every single time.

    A Buford highway Vietnamese gem! Being on Buford Highway C'om is in a random strip mall with some other little Mexican shops. The outside is nothing special but the interior is warm and inviting with pictures of some Vietnamese folks adorning the walls. The pork spring roll was excellent. Fresh tasting spring rolls with a little sausage and a great peanut sauce for dipping. The shrimp fried rolls were great too. Very crispy outside and fresh plump whole shrimp inside. For our main we had the special rice dish and the grilled beef and shrimp with rice vermicelli dish. The first thing you'll notice is the smell from the grilled meat. The beef/shrimp dish had a great assortment of fresh vegetables and a sweet sauce for dipping or to pour over the top. The shrimp were garlicky and cooked very well. The special rice dish was larger overall and had the same beef and vegetables. I would get either dish again and I will certainly be back!

    Solid food, chef prepared, and affordable as a weekly go-to place for a nice dinner. Definitely a step above the "cafeteria style" pho places up and down Buford Hwy in both quality and style. Highly recommended! A lot of vegetarian and fish/seafood options which is rare for Vietnamese places.

    SO IMPRESSED. I usually head to Lee's Bakery in the same plaza on Sunday's for lunch, but I decided to try Co'm recently when the waiting line at Lee's was getting out of hand. The service was fantastic (granted I was one of three patrons at the time), and the food was so flavorful. Call me naive, but I didn't realize how great Viet-style red curry could be. It was really fantastic. As an appetizer, I recommend the pork basil rolls--YUM, so crispy and savory!

    Hmm. I had to think a little before I wrote an updated review for this place. Initially I really liked this place because their offering of the large fish and wraps, but apparently it is no longer in existence. Or it is, and they lied to me. I think this statement is a bit accusatory, but let me tell you why I think that. A day prior to going here, I called ahead and made reservations and asked if I could do the large fish for a group of 4. The guy on the other line said, "No problem," and I was excited for the next day. The next day, we sat down at our reserved table, and the waiter brought us a menu. I told him we already ordered the fish, but he said that they ran out. When I told him I called about it yesterday, he said they no longer served it. Which is it? Also, our waiter had the same voice as the guy who answered the phone the day before. Shady. We got the flounder and grilled pork wraps and the chicken curry. The veggies for the wraps were super fresh, but the meats were pretty disappointing. The flounder was salty but not very flavorful and the pork was flavored well but the slices were so thin that they were tiny shrivels on the plate. Plus, getting the rice paper wraps is an additional cost. Chicken curry was ok but really sweet and only had about 3-4 pieces of small chicken in it. We were still hungry after we were done and had to go next door to get more food. Overall a 2 hoping that they weren't telling me anything false. I won't be coming back here but if you do go, remember this place barely has any Asian patrons, and that is always a warning sign.

    Back in 2005, Co'm was the first place I tried Vietnamese food. I absolutely love this place. I'm not going to repeat everything that's already said, but, try to venture off the noodle (bun) and rice (co'm) dishes and order their DELICIOUS GREEN PAPAYA SALAD. Oh. my. goodness. Ridiculously delicious. Their rice paper spring rolls (goi cuon) are also super delish. P.S. It's pronounced "Gum" not "CAWM" k

    Always get the grilled grape leave rolls. I tried the ones stuffed with duck about three years ago, and go back specifically for this dish, or the rice vermicelli entree with duck grape rolls (bún vt lá nho). It's tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Great value and friendly service too. I miss this place now that I'm in NYC.

    I will start off by saying this has become one of my absolute favorite places on Buford Highway that I have tried. I can officially say I have been here numerous times and every single time I have had a good experience. When you walk in it's a smaller eating space but always very clean and neat, normally unless it's a weekend night you are seated promptly but one of the servers. You sit down and they will immediately get your water and allow you to get settled. I have tried their fresh papaya salad which really was just so light and delicious, as well as their lamb spring rolls which are delicious. They have a few basil rolls that are fresh as well. Now I have tried their fragrant rice which is almost a take on fried rice, but it's cleaner somehow. My friends always get it with lamb which is seasoned well and really yummy. My personal favorite is their bahn hoi with chicken, which is really almost like lettuce wraps. You receive flattened vermicelli noodles, chicken, lettuce, basil, carrots, zucchini, and a vegetable i have yet to identified cut into thin slices, and you put it all together with fish sauce and it's amazing. I never leave this place feeling too full or poofy but just right and I feel refreshed. Also you usually get a free dessert afterwards which is just enough to top off your delicious meal. I really can't say I have tried anything I don't enjoy there and would definitely recommend it to others!

    This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese place! Where to start: the staff is always so friendly, the food is consistently excellent and fresh and doesn't matter what time of the day you eat here. It's easy to miss in the corner but you will be so happy you took the time to find it! My favorite is the lamb won tons, Bon hoi with lamb and rice pancakes and bo luc lac. Delicious :)

    I came for lunch with friends on a Saturday. Absolutely delightful. The New Zealand lamb rolls were knock-your-socks-off amazing, as were the Hanoi rolls. When I was in Vietnam, I ate salads all the time and I was so pleased to see that they offered similar salads to what I ate when in country (I got mine with grilled chicken). So fresh, so delicious, so filling, so light - yum yum yum. Most importantly, our lunch came with free iced coffee. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. That made it worth it to me! The restaurant is really nice on the inside and service is super attentive. This is a definite must-try on Buford!

    Has a French indiochie section on the menu, good service, and free dessert (dine in only) 3.5 Came there on a Sunday night for dinner ..my cousin had a bo luc lac plate and I had the salmon with shrimp off the French indiochie section ..we ordered the shrimp egg roll and flounder spring roll. The spring roll was ok..the fish needed some extra flavoring ..I honestly thought it was going to be more of a cha ca la vong (grilled tumeric fish with dill) style..but it wasn't... egg roll was good..Had a taste of the beef ...and that was solid too.. Now my plate..hmm the reason why I wanted to drop a few stars..the portion to cost..compared to taste wasn't worth it.. dunno why they would slice up the salmon into two pieces..to make it look like there was more?..those two salmon pieces combined was probably only 3 oz at most..and it came with 3 grilled shrimp all covered in a basil pesto sauce. ..had a side of smashed taro with penang curry ..and a little side salad..taro with curry was a delight..even though the curry gravy was heavy on the sugar and coconut milk (i.e. Very sweet) ..I was curious of how they would execute a French indiochie fusion ..IMO it left something to be desire. Overall good but nothing to rave about . ..ambiance was nice..staff was very attentive ..loved the free mocha cake with vanilla ice cream.

    I think if you go twice in one week you have to be a fan. I found this place on a weekend search. It was heaven. We had the grape leaves stuffed with lamb. Oh my. I am partial to a pork bun, and have tried that numerous times along with the coconut fuco . Which is a great pairing it's not too sweet. Our wait staff has always been nice. We usually sit here for close to two hours eating and talking over a pot of jasmine tea. Oh yes, free dessert with dinner. Where else can you say that? No seriously if you know of a place let me know. I'll go there next. Definitely worth a try.

    Co'm Grill is usually the only place I come to when I want some vermicelli. I haven't been here in over 6 years, so when we were driving by, I asked my boyfriend if we could stop by :] It's a cute little place. It is definitely centered toward the American demographics. After we walked in, a whole bunch of other patrons walked in, but my boyfriend and I were the only Asian ones, which was a bit surprising. We ordered the salmon vermicelli, and the chargrilled bbq pork (thit nhung), and I found it alright. The combination was yummy, but the meat didn't do me much justice, so I ended up leaving all the meat behind. Boyfriend enjoyed his salmon though. Still pretty yummy, and pretty much the only place I'll get vermicelli at :]

    This place is amazing. I love the Ha Noi appetizer rolls and fragrant rice dishes. The curry dishes are also delicious if you like sweeter curries. Also you can't beat free dessert!

    Co'm Vietnamese Grill's menu offers a wonderfully accessible approach to Vietnamese food with a fusion approach. The venue offers a classy atmosphere without being pretentious or haughty. This is a great place for a celebratory occasion or date! The quality and cheerful service are outstanding and will definitely draw my patronage again!

    I've never had food grilled quite the way it is done here, my favorite is Com Tom, which is a rice dish with grilled shrimp. I came to the restaurant on a whim over the summer and have been waiting for the chance to come back and try other dishes! Try the Ha Noi Spring Rolls as an appetizer, they're delicious, crispy and flavorful. It's usually not very crowded when I have stopped by, so definitely give them a try!

    Some time ago, James H. sent me a list of great, cheap, date night recommendations. Well I'm finally getting around to checking out these places and kicking myself for waiting so long! The service was outstanding. On a Friday evening there was a crowd waiting at the door for a large table, but the manager was quick to seat me and Kevin P. in a booth. We sat for maybe 2 minutes gawking over our menus before a waiter appeared and was anxious to take our full order. We started off with a round of drinks. Kevin P. was happy that Guinness Extra Stout was only $4 and my Chardonnay at $7 was pretty tasty. Next up was an order of veggie spring rolls prepared with fresh cucumber, carrot, daikon and cilantro wrapped in rice paper. Seriously y'all, these are some of the best spring rolls I've ever had in Atlanta. Definitely share these because I filled up on 'em and had to take most of my dinner home in a box. For entrees, I heeded the Yelp suggestions and noshed on stuffed grape leaves with ground lamb served over vermicelli. WOW! These grape leaves were just as good (if not better) than the ones I had at Kyma. The vermicelli with veggies was tasty and I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch. Kevin P. had the fragrant rice topped with chicken and was a very happy man. Our meal ended with complimentary dessert (a little cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream) so with one drink a piece, appetizer, entrees, tax and tip we spent about $38 at Co'm. For the amount of delicious food at such reasonable prices, I think Co'm will be on our regular date night circuit. Thank you James H. The only reason I can't give Co'm 5 stars is because I haven't been to enough places on Bu-Hi to know if this is "As good as it gets." We'll be back soon for validation.

    This place is an excellent find. Well, wasn't that easy for us to find find.. we ended up turning onto Dering Circle from Buford Hwy, wondering where in the world we were. Just FYI, it's in the same complex as a Chevron, and right next to Lee's Bakery. Anyhow, this place has interesting decor, not really the typical Vietnamese restaurant look. They had utensils wrapped up in cloth napkins, the srirachi and hoisin sauce were served when the entrees came out, on a small cute sauce dish instead of in big nondescript plastic bottles. I loved the music selection ! They were playing Top 40 (only the good songs at that) with some nice remixes I had never heard. But onto the food. For appetizer we ordered the New Zealand lamb rolls. They tasted a little like the vermicelli with grilled beef that my husband ordered as his entree, but wrapped up into a nice succulent package, that you dip into fish sauce. It was delicious. About $3 or $3.50, which was a reasonable price. I really liked my husband's vermicelli bowl. The ratio of each of the ingredients was just right. I think I might order that the next time I go eat there. I got pho with beef (they don't really focus on pho here, so they don't have all the different selection of meats that you can get at dedicated pho restaurants, only eye round steak. I thought the broth was okay. Overall the pho was just okay. The one up-side I can say about it is that they gave plenty of noodles, which is a must for me! The awesome way they capped off our meal was by giving us complimentary dessert. It was a delicious coffee-ish flan with accompanying ice cream (I think some kind of walnut or pecan ice cream with chocolate??). The service was excellent as well. They were super friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly. There were some other menu items that looked interesting and not the typical Vietnamese fare. They were a bit more expensive, but maybe I will try one of them next time. In any case, we'll be back.

    Headed to Atlanta for vacation hear that there were a big influence in Vietnamese culture. So, I through it will be a great change to have some great Vietnamese food. Was I totally wrong...I try to order Pho and they said they ran out of Pho? It was 7 o'clock during dinner rush hour so I order the French Beef Au Povire. The beef was tough and sauce overly salted, I took few bites and hope the dessert will cheer me up.

    Love this place. Now let me tell you, this isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurants. You know, the dirty cafeteria feel, in and out & quick bite type places. This place feels NICE (bring a date!), feels clean, and the service is just wonderful. The rice dishes are are some of the best in ATL - awesome (and authentic) flavors but the portions are a bit smaller than your typical place ( not small enough to disappoint you ). And WHAT? You get free dessert during dinners? SERIOUS? YES SIR. THIS MY ISH RIGHT HUR

    In terms of food quality, Co'm is certainly among the better Vietnamese establishments along the Buford corridor. However, in terms of atmosphere, I simply can't go so far as many of the other reviewers who have described this place as "upscale". Yes, it's definitely a marked upgrade from the plethora of dilapidated pho shacks nearby, but unsuspecting first time diners shouldn't come here expecting to dine in the lap of luxury - linen napkins and a health inspection score above 80 shouldn't be the determining factors for considering a place upscale. Food: Co'm sets itself apart from its competitors by serving an assortment of rice dishes and wraps in addition to the standard pho and banh mi dishes that you'll find elsewhere. During my recent lunchtime visit, I opted for the "shaking chicken lemongrass", which was essentially stir fried lemongrass-flavored chicken served over a bed of rice. The dish was flavorful, sizably portioned, and cleanly presented. I dined with a party of seven other individuals, all of whom seemed pleased with their dishes as well. Service: Attentive, accommodating, and quick. There was a several minute delay in delivering two of the dishes, but it was the peak lunch hour and we had a party of eight, so I suppose this was to be expected. Atmosphere: The interior of Co'm is not very expansive - there are approximately a dozen booths and tables. The walls are lined almost exclusively with a series of portraits featuring the same stoic looking Asian females in various positions - one can only presume that the owner is a fan of the ladies. No outside seating is available. Cost: Inexpensive for the quality and quantity of the food. Appetizers are mostly $3-$6, while entrees are $7-$15. All major credit cards are accepted. Other: Co'm is located in the same plaza as Lee's Bakery, at the intersection of Clairmont Road and Buford Highway. Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 11AM-10PM, and Sunday, 11AM-9PM. Free parking is available in the lot directly outside the plaza - however, the spots are limited and tight, so you might have to park nearby and take the short walk in.

    It looks more like a restaurant compared to its Vietnamese peers. I had pork & shrimp flat vermicelli (why is it almost twice expensive as other regular vermicelli or pho dishes?). But seriously, the dish itself can't be bad at any real Vietnamese place. The only difference I can tell is that I love their pickled mango & papaya. Maybe I'll go to a hole on the wall place, have the same yummy dish and save a few bucks for an avocado shake.

  • Jenn K.

    Wow, FLAVOR. This is simple I-think-I-could-make-it-in-my-kitchen fare. But then the sauce. Oh, my, the sauce! I has the chicken over rice. It came exactly that way. The chicken was a breast cut into strips. It was very moist and cut with a fork. I also really enjoyed the tofu spring rolls. I wish more of their dishes came with tofu. Maybe I'll try the grape leaves next time. My friend got pork Pho and I tasted the broth - very salty.

    Love this place!!! I ordered chicken curry, fried bang bang lamb wontons, and tried the fragrant rice with charcoal grilled lamb.All were delicious and tasted fresh. It's great that they use New Zealand lamb too. The menu is extensive and there are so many dishes I want to try from here. Service is really good in this casual restaurant and ambiance is relaxing and clean. They are really organized here and can handle a large group. Definitely a Buford favorite!

    You GUYS. I absolutely adore this place. I've been here countless times, on dates, on girls nights, by myself, whenever. This is my go to place for an affordable special occasion. Return from a business trip? Check. Catching up with my best friend? Check. I even came here for a birthday with 10 other people, and the waitstaff was so friendly and patient. The food is delicious. My absolute favorite dish is the Rice Vermicelli with beef or lamb. I love the "new" additions to their menu too. I've been hopping around, trying new things the last few times I've been. Everything is still great, especially for the price. I really can't recommend this place enough.

    My husband and I are C'om regulars. What's not to love about this place? Every single ingredient tastes unbelievably fresh. We always order the special c'om, which is - you guessed it - their specialty. It's a fantastic display of vietnamese cuisine: white rice rests beneath teriyaki-marinated beef (or any other protein of your choosing), fresh sliced cucumbers, shrimp meatloaf, shredded carrots, a fried egg and other tasty treats. Pour some fish sauce over the whole thing, mix it all up, and you've got yourself a flavorful and hugely filling dinner. We went last week with my foodie best friend from NYC, who ordered bánh hoi, her regular Vietnamese choice. The dish consists of flattened rice vermicelli noodles that you place on pieces of lettuce and layer with fresh herbs, beef and the same fresh vegetables in the special c'om. Basically, they're Vietnamese lettuce wraps. She said it was the best bánh hoi she'd ever had - and that means a lot coming from someone who believes the best of everything is in NYC. For dinner, C'om throws in complimentary dessert and it's actually good. The dessert is the right size, consisting of a small piece of mocha cake for each patron and a scoop of ice cream - usually coffee or mocha flavored. It's the perfect way to end the meal and annihilate post-dinner sweet tooth. The food isn't the only thing that's near perfect at C'om. We have never had bad service there, no matter who our waiter was. They're friendly, attentive and quick to bring out orders. It's what seals the deal and gives this place its well-deserved fifth star.

    The place was very nice and we had great service. The reason for the 3 stars is the food was solid, but I felt we could have gotten better Viet food from Buford Hwy for much cheaper and nothing we ate had a great twist on it....just saying.

    Com Grill is my go to place when I am craving Vietnamese vermicelli noodles. The noodles are perfectly cooked, ingredients are fresh, protein grilled to perfection, and the fish sauce/vinaigrette flavorful. My favorite is the vermicelli noodles with shrimp egg rolls. Many of my friends order the grilled pork or shrimp as well. I have tried several other appetizers and entrees at Com Grill, which were good. However, in my opinion, their vermicelli noodle dishes are the rock stars at this restaurant. Although located in a small strip mall/plaza, parking has never been an issue. Service is always great and the food comes out quickly. For dinner, they even provide a free dessert.

    We came for the first time on a Saturday night and were able to be seated immediately. Our host was super sweet and laid on the charm, which I appreciated and made me laugh. We had about 4 different servers over the course of our meal, they were all attentive and very considerate. We had shrimp spring rolls and lamb grape rolls for an appetizer. The shrimp spring rolls were ok, nothing too different or stand outish from most other spring rolls. the lamb grape rolls were delicious! I've only had Mediterranean style grape rolls and don't love them but decided I would give these a try. They are definitely not the Mediterranean style. These are filled to the brim with just lamb and spices (as opposed to just being filled with rice) and the grape rolls are surrounded by an assortment of pickled vegetables. Very good and would definitely get these again. We then split the bun with "famous grilled grounded pork" and the Saigon shaking mignon with black peppered sauce. The bun was like most others I've had, fresh and light. The famous grilled grounded pork was not what I was expecting. I was pretty much just thinking it would be ground pork but this was ground pork that was then shaped into sausages and then grilled. It was different and definitely delicious. I'm used to shaky beef with just beef and onions but this one had spinach and tomatoes as well. It was good but i will probably try something new next time just to try more variety. Free dessert of chocolate almond ice cream and raspberry cake (asian style- so it's very light and not very sweet) This may be my new favorite in-town sit down Vietnamese restaurant (other than Dua downtown- which will always have a special place in my heart just because it's so close to work)

    Came here based on Yelp reviews. We have tried Vietnamese food before, and this did not disappoint. Food was fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced. Décor / ambience was ok, but service was very good. The waiter answered all of our questions patiently and followed-up to make sure we liked everything. The stand-out items were the basil spring rolls with lemongrass ground pork, and the special fragrant rice with pork, shrimp, and egg. The free dessert was absolutely delicious! Side note: for those of you who drink beer, skip the Vietnamese beer. It wasn't too good.

  • Heather N.

    Service is spot on here-very friendly and accomodating. Flat noodles were like a pancake of delicious, chewy thin rice vermicelli. Pork was just ok and the shrimp were pretty much inedible-chewy and tasted frozen. If I go again, will try the rice with ribs... Cheers~

  • Andrew A.

    If you want wonderful vietnamese food, C'om is a must. The space is basic but can get very crowded because the food is consistently good. My wife and I shared the shrimp basil rolls which were outstanding. In fact, we liked them so much we ordered a second appetizer. She then ordered the fish salad which she devoured. I had the b'un (vermicelli noodles) with shrimp which was delicious. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. We have added C'om to our regular rotation of restaurants.

  • Teresa L.

    I ordered the basil rolls with shrimp and grilled shrimp bun (rice vermicelli under a salad and grilled shrimp, with a side of fish sauce). The food was so fresh and healthy that I didn't feel guilty about eating everything. The prices are so fantastic. This restaurant is a little hard to find. It is in a tiny strip shopping center behind a gas station on Buford Highway. It looks a little shady from the outside, but it is clean and nice inside. I returned the next day with my mother and I had bun again, but with salmon grape leaves. I don't recommend the salmon grape leaves. They were kind of spongy and they don't have much salmon flavor. I'm still giving the restaurant 5 stars because the food is so fresh and reasonably priced and the service is outstanding.

  • Travis F.

    Came here looking for some quick take out and decided to sit down to eat there. Great decision. Got the bun with grape leaf wrapped duck, and the duck was great. When I finished, my server brought out a tiramisu dessert with ice cream. On the house. What the what?! When I went to pay, the manager came over to shake my hand and thank me for coming. Great experience overall, definitely coming back with my fiancé as she's gonna be ticked when she hears about this and that I went without her.

  • Amrita R.

    Taste explosion in your mouth! They have amazing beef ribs, and the fried egg that comes with it is perfection! The rice that comes with the ribs is not my favorite, but I always order a lamb vermicelli dish to go with it. The lamb is flavored so strongly, it's like a kick-in-the-mouth, in a good way. It goes well with the light taste of vermicelli that I like to drown in fish sauce. Definitely a different kind of Viet meal if you're used to just eating pho. They also give you a free mocha dessert every time :)

    Vietnamese/American restaurant. Was not impressed with the spring rolls. It was made with grilled meat instead of the traditional steamed pork & shrimp & only came with nuoc mam (fish sauce vinaigrette). I loooove nuoc mam but I prefer the hoisin peanut sauce with my spring rolls. BUT!!! The com tam bi thit cha dac biet was one of the best I've ever had! So that's where the 4 stars goes too.

    I love Co'm and have loved it from day one. Somehow, they slipped off my rotation of frequent eateries, and I have been neglecting them. Not anymore! I stopped in yesterday for some appetizers to take to a boxing day celebration...and what a hit! The grape leaves appetizer (i got duck, lamb and beef) was just as delicious as i remembered. The grape leaves impart a wonderful smokiness and the meat is savory with a wee hint of spice. All are served with shredded lettuce, carrots, radish and fried onion....very easy to toss on a serving platter and voila.....yummy party treats! Co'm is back in the speed dial!

    Upscale Vietnamese that draws the Emory/Dunwoody/Buckhead women to Chamblee. I stumbled on this place in the first week of business, years ago. They were having a time getting their liquor license and just weren't ready. Even then, I could see the promise of a great place. Then, Atlanta magazine wrote them up and the crowds flocked in. They are still coming in droves every day. The decor runs that nice balance that makes you feel good if you arrive in shorts but you could take a Druid Hills woman here on a date. There are always women having business lunches and social time here as well as men in business/casual attire. The inside is a small dining area that has some tables that are easily pulled together for groups and booths with more comfortable seating. The bathrooms are large and clean. The menu has a new look. The old, colorful artsy menus were hard to read and getting ragged so they've gone to a simpler, less expensive format that really works for me. Looks like all the same great stuff without the confusing presentation. Today, I was listening to group at the table next to me and they could have used some pictures to help pick out their meals. The staff is always friendly and quick for me but my friends find them distant. Occasionally, usually when I'm in here with a date, they'll be a little too forward about trying to go for the up sale, especially on alcohol. Everything that I've tried over the years is great. The food has good presentation, consistency and quality. I particularly like the grapes leaves stuffed with duck or lamb over the flats of rice noodles. It comes with a big plate of greenery to make lettuce wraps. Yummy, filling, refined flavors that are good for you and quite affordable at $15. I've tried a couple of the appetizer salads and they are great, too. By the way , this is a great place for the gluten-free, dairy free diner... If you'd like to get more authentic Vietnamese without venturing into the uncomfortable authenticity of Pho#000, this is about as good as it gets.

    Thanks to reviews by Daniel B & Kathleen M below, I went here, and am glad I did. Real fine quality and great prices.

    Glad to have come here for lunch today - it wasn't crowded and service was prompt and courteous. We ordered 3 dishes to share. Started with their fresh signature salad sans protein. The combo of apple, green papaya and green mango mixed with fish vinaigrette was a delightful "burst of fresh" in the mouth; would've liked them to go easy on the dressing next time. For entrees we went for the filet mignon with peppered sauce under the Shaking Wok Fry category, and the Bun (rice vermicelli) with grilled chicken and shrimp. Peppered sauce was appetizing but I found the beef a bit too chunky and taste of the meat "beefy". My lunch companion didn't have that issue and finished that dish. The grilled chicken and shrimp were delivered with excellence - not over-done and both were so tender. The vermicelli itself was a bit too sticky but with the fish sauce, it was ok. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert complete with a small striped candle to celebrate America's birthday, as was put to us. What a nice touch! I can't say they're typical of Vietnamese restaurants I've visited - what happened to the delicious claypot catfish? Not on Com's menu :( Still we enjoyed our meal and may come back to taste the duck grapeleaf rolls.

    Didn't get a chance to rate their food as their disorganized service never got me seated. Having shown up and been told the wait would be 20-30 minutes, they asked for my name & number saying they'd call me once a table was available. Despite the fact the restaurant had no Asian faces (a quick litmus test of authenticity in my mind), I decided to give it a try and mentally signed up for the wait. Went next door for a drink as the Co'm bar was full. I never got a call back and won't bother returning.

    Three words: Bo La Lot. Or Beef wrapped in betel leaves, grilled to pure yumminess! Me and my friends go here to fulfill our Bo La Lot cravings quite often, and Com Grill does the job well. You can order it as an appetizer or as entrees with Bun (noodles) or Banh Hoi (flat vermicelli sheets) It's located in Buford Hwy and it is tucked away in a corner in the same plaza as Lee's Bakery. There are many other grilled options to choose from on the menu such as shrimp, pork, and beef. This place is perfect for lunch alone, or with a couple friends. If you do decide to eat solo, you have not one...but two flatscreen TV's to entertain you with haha Their service is good, and normally pretty fast. It's a small restaurant, but it's nice. Definitely recommend it for lunch!

    Yes please, all the time everything on the menu. Yes. Please. Let me say this. If you are talking with someone about Co'm and they dont like it, you can go ahead and walk away because they obviously have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Ive never had a bad dish here, ever.

    This place is mixed for one great meal, one average meal, one not so great meal. And no Pho. All in all, it's worth trying because some of their dishes were authentic and very good. Avoid the beef it was tough.

  • David F.

    One of Buford Hwy's best hidden gems, Co'm brings tasty lamb dishes, served with huge portions of fresh vegetables like mint. Just don't come and expect a bowl of pho, though. I usually get the com with lamb -- sweetened rice topped with shredded lettuce and cucumber and mint, topped with absolutely delicious grilled lamb tenderloin. It's served with a side of sweet and spicy fish sauce, which you can add to your liking. They serve beer and wine -- try the "33" for a traditional beer. The staff is super-attentive. Be adventurous and let them guide your dining experience. Prices are not "pho-cheap", but the aforementioned dinner dish is a respectable $8 considering you could easily share it if you added an appetizer.

    Surprisingly elegant atmosphere, friendly service, and deft preparation of Vietnamese classics makes Co'm a family favorite in Atlanta. The food is consistently excellent and satisfying and a great introduction to the fragrant rice and noodle dishes of VN. Particular dishes we recommend: grilled chicken and spring roll bun as well as the grilled lemongrass and beef co'm.

    Great place. I didn't know anything about this place until last Thursday. This place was recommended by the lady at Lee's Bakery after I came in while they were closing. All I can say is this place is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. It was a good introduction to Vietnamese cuisine for my friend who never had it before. She enjoyed it so much, she requested (more like demanded) to go back today before she head to the airport. The first time I ordered the rice vermicilli special combo with grilled pork while my friend ordered the fragrant rice combo with grilled chicken. I was kinda bummed I ordered the rice vermicilli after trying my friend's dish but, i did get it the next visit. I'll just come back just for the rice.

    Grilled. Vietnamese. Meat. So delicious. The meat is fresh, smoky and delicious. The vermicelli dishes are fun (with rice paper wraps) but the plain rice plates are half as much. The appetizers are pretty small, but for $3, they're not bad for just yourself or to share with another. Their portion sizes are not consistent, but it borders on just enough to a lot. This isn't really a bad thing in my opinion. Rice paper wraps are available for $1.50 or so if you want to make your vermicelli dishes into spring rolls.

    I am smitten with this place. OK, the beautiful, friendly young waitress made it better, but seriously, this was a great experience. The place is easy to miss coming from the north, being tucked in a tight little strip on a hill. All signage is in English. We were quickly greeted and shown to our clean, marble-topped table (semi-booth). The interior is cozy, gently lit, attractive and relatively new, with panelling, laminated floor, and a few Asian prints on the wall. Cloth napkins, real utensils and long oval app plates marked our places. A very soothing atmosphere overall. Our menus came to us turned to the first page, which features enticing media reviews. Strangely (for Buford Highway), I saw no Asians eating the food. I really have to say a few words about the staff because they were such a nice part of the experience. We had two attractive young people serving us. Their English was perfect, their friendliness was genuine and infectious without being intrusive, they were completely knowledgeable and helpful with the food choices, and they were attentive. I honestly can't remember having a more enjoyable service, ever. Dinner started with goi salad. Pick your fruit and protein, or get the mixed fruit and pick your protein. We had mango and grilled salmon. Veggies were matchstick size, making chopsticks easier to use. Salmon was in little bits, but a good amount to flavor without overwhelming. The sweet and peppery fish sauce and crushed peanuts on top sealed the deal. These salads are on the CL 100 Things to Eat Before You Die, and I can see why: I could eat this stuff all day long. And I'm not even a salmon lover. (or even a salad lover) For appetizer, we split the duck in grapeleaves. The grapeleaves had just enough bitterness to make it not invisible. The duck meatballs were hearty and had a little more robust version of the fish sauce on it. If you have a few extra bucks to drop, they definitely deserve a try. For entrees, we split the pork bun (rice vermicelli and matchstick vegetables, with fish sauce) and the beef with fragrant rice (with assorted crispy vegetables and fish sauce). The pork bun was a huge portion, but light. The grilled and marinated meat had plenty of flavor and the dish was reminiscent of mu shu pork without all the oil and heaviness. The beef had a deep, smoky richness from the marinade and grill. It was slightly chewy, but in a way that made me feel well fed because it made it seem more substantial. We were surprised by a complimentary desert of small, yummy mocha cakes. Although it was little and light in an airy, marshmallow kind of way, the flavor was really present and I was able to slow down and savor a portion that I could otherwise eat in a single bite. Getting food this good, service this good, prices this good (sometimes bordering on ridiculous) and an atmosphere this good, I could not give this place less than five stars. See you all there soon!

    Yum. Yum. Yum. I love this place- friendly service, excellent food and a great value. Even my less adventurous friends love their food (we're talking plain jane chain restaurant goers). The portions are hearty and everything tastes so fresh. I've tried several other places in the area and none compare- dee-lish If you haven't tried it- GO!

    I never would have known about this place if it weren't for Yelp, and it's only 2 miles from my house! This is a great find! My boyfriend and I went there last Friday. We ordered the fried shrimp egg rolls, which are amazing and came out really hot. I got the beef tenderloin special fragrant rice, which was good, but I could have used more veggies. He got the Rice Vermicelli (bun) with the lamb tenderloin. The rice vermicelli was fantastic, but we both preferred the beef tenderloin to the lamb. A small dessert was brought to each of us at no charge. It was some sort of mocha tiramisu-type thing, and it was INCREDIBLE. The guy said they only give it away on weekends, but I went back this past Tuesday and was given it again. This most recent time, I got the Rice Vermicelli with the pork tenderloin, which tasted a LOT like the beef, but it had a better texture. I would recommend that. I would LOVE to try the Flat Rice Vermicelli, since you make lettuce wraps with it . . . but since it costs $5 more than the other entrees I mentioned, and I'm kinda broke, I haven't been able to stomach the extra expense. I'll save my $5 for beer. It is a recession after all. Service was good, albeit a little slow. But I like to savor my time out, even if I'm alone like I was on Tuesday . . . which I think some people find unnerving. LOL. Highly recommended!

    I came for dinner when with my sister a few weeks back, this place is really great. I had the Bun with grilled pork, which was excellent. Tons of flavor and plenty of food. The service was very good as well, I'll definitely be back.

    Thanks, Yelpers, for leading me down the right path. We had some friends coming in from California last night, and when asked where they'd like to eat, they let us know that nothing less than authentic Vietnamese grub would please their palates. Oops...not my specialty. So, onto the Yelp site I go for some Yelpin'-Helpin'. From the excellent Bunh to the Chicken Curry, this place has good-tasting food. I'm not an expert in this culinary culture, but my East Coast friends claim to be, and they were very happy. Friendly service sealed the deal. We'll be back. Recommended.

    3.5 stars, for sure... When coming to visit my sister in Atlanta, I could have my first request be to make reservations at Rathbuns. Or Spice Market. Or even Two Urban Licks. But nope. I say 'Can we go to Com???' Okay, okay. Truth be told, I did have her make a resie at Rathbuns before I arrived. But my point is that Com is the first place I'm thinking about heading to once my flight comes in. This place just satisfies my Vietnamese food craving that I seem to have on a daily basis. Not tons of atmosphere - but who really cares about that when you're eating basic Vietnamese food? I adore the green papaya salad and love the option where you can get the 'mixed' (papaya, green apple and mango???) even more. The bun is absolutely deee-lish! My sister is always down for coming here. My brother-in-law isn't always as willing of a participant (mostly because he would just love the day that I said 'I'm craving fish and chips!' so we could do that kind of outing - he's not super huge on Vietnamese food so we won't even factor in his reaction when I make my Com request). I will just wrap this up by saying that the last time I was in Atlanta, I was there for 2 days - and made two different trips to this place. Oh...and a nice little trip to Rathbun's in between. Hehe.

    Last night's visit to Co'm matched up perfectly with the other reviews I've seen. This is a very good place, with an approachable menu, crisp flavors, and a helpful staff. We got two appetizers, both on the recommendation of other Yelpers. The duck grape leaves were outstanding -- the duck was well-cooked, and the spices were subtle and complementary. The lamb spring rolls were also good, but nothing extraordinary. I had a pork grape leaves bun, and I loved it. The proportion of noodle to protein was perfect, and the noodles were sized properly (no crazy dangling pasta embarrassment here). My friend got a rice dish with chicken, which looked simple but good, and he said it was tasty. The free dessert at the end was a perfect end to the meal. If you're new to the Buford Highway Corridor, this would be a great introduction to the culinary delights that await you there. The restaurant is clean and simply decorated, and the staff are helpful and attentive. If you can't find something that sounds good on this menu, then you may just want to avoid Asian cuisine entirely. Can't wait to go back and try the mango salad everyone raves about!

    I'm a true fan of Com Vietnamese Grill. I believe they stay true to the vietnamese tradition and serve up very tasty dishes. The smell and aroma of the grilled food is intoxicating. I love their Grilled Flounder served with Fresh Vegetables and Rice Paper for wrapping. It reminds me of mom's home cooking as a child. The papaya salad appetizer is a great starter. I recommend the whole menu. you really can't go wrong. It's vietnamese food at its truest form. well, besides mom's home cooking :)

    I love their bun. Yum Yum!!! I know what I like and when I ordered it it makes me happy. Grilled chicken always tastes delicious. No weird old chicken taste here. Yes, I should try other things off their menu but I love the charbroiled chicken with vermicelli. I took my picky parents here and my mom got the tofu and my stepdad got the lambchops and they told me it was good. That's a good sign.

    This is now my favorite restaurant on Buford Highway methinks. Went there with my girlfriend the first time after she had read some reviews here. Wow, were we happy! We split the grape leaf wrapped duck sausage and the chicken spring rolls for apps. I loved both. the spring rolls are the soft rice paper kind, not the crispy fried kind. The sauced they served them with rocked as well. The duck sausage grape leaves I was suspect about when I saw them, but holy crap were they good. We each had a Tsingtao and sat back to enjoy. For main course, we both had Bun, which was incredible. It is a rice noodle dish. I had pork tenderloin, she had chicken. Between this and the apps, we had enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Incredible food. The free dessert topped it off nicely. The place is nothing to write home about, but its nice, quiet, good service, and the food is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this to all my friends now. Last trip I took 4 newbies there and they all loved it.

    Just wonderful. The decor is not what you come for, and the two televisions set to two different channels (with sound on while trance music plays over the sound system) are distracting....but who cares? You go to Co'm for the food, not the decor. The spring rolls are light and set the stage beautifully for their entrees. I highly recommend getting the hot tea to enjoy during the course of your time there. The vegetables are always fresh, the meat wonderfully marinated and prepared. The fragrant rice lives up to its billing, and the balance of flavor and heat is always respected. The Million Dollar Cake is a light, cool way to finish your experience. The service is always attentive without being intrusive as well as unfailingly polite. It is a pleasure in every way, and is the epitome of great food in an unassuming location. Karen and I both love it. A gem on Buford Highway.

    Fabulous. Delicious. Great service, great food and very friendly staff. Ground duck in grape leaves was so good. Spring rolls with lamb were incredible! The wine list is better than I was expecting with up to date "house wines" like NO Sauvignon Blanc. The flat rice vermicielli with grilled shrimp was mild and light and the sauce added a nice delicate flavor to counterbalance the grilled flavor of the shrimp, fresh veggies and herbs. I am taking my family here next time they are in town. We asked to see a dessert menu, but instead dessert appeared with three spoons. I guess it was tiramisu, and it was delicious. Well done Co'm! We'll be back soon!

    Tried this place after a "yelp" review(Erin). Incredible!!! I find myself bringing friends there every time. I have been back 5 times in a month, and have no complaints. As in other reviews, its a little difficult to figure out what to order, but regardless, its great. For newbies, here is my reco: Shrimp Egg Rolls- For the first time in while there is actually large shrimp in the rolls, and they come out HOT. Grape Leaves-The Ground Duck has a great kick. Lamb or pork Rice cake make your spring rolls. Its not listed that way on the menu, but you'll enjoy making your own spring rolls. EnjoY!

    This place is located in a Chevron shopping center so very discreet and hidden. Off of Buford Hwy near Clairmont Road. I first ate hear over 4 years ago and have been going back since. Definitely worth tryng out once, twice, or even 3 times. Their lamb wrapped in grape leaves is awesome, along with their vermicelli lamb plate. Kind of hard to find if you're not familiar with the area, but it's worth trying. Next door there's a Vietnamese bakery shop called Lee's bakery. I go there to get Vietnamese subs. Buy 5 get one free, all for under 15 bucks. Can't beat that.

    My bf's family was in town, craving Vietnamese food. We decided to try out Co'm, with the expectation that it may not be as good as West Coast Vietnamese. We were pleasantly surprised. It was a restaurant in a strip mall area off Buford, easy parking. Clean, nice casual atmosphere. We had the rice dishes (it is Co'm, after all). The meats were well flavored and tender, the eggrolls were freshly made with a good crunch, the coffee was perfect. We also got a free chocolate cake dessert. While not the best I've ever had, it's a good solid place for Vietnamese food.

    Com is the neighborhood restaurant that I go to when I feel somewhat guilty for having not eaten a fruit or veggie in weeks. It's the kind of food that makes you feel virtuous and healthy while you are eating it. The really amazing thing is that it actually tastes good too! I love the Bun with charcoal grilled shrimp with the entire bowl of vinegary hot sauce poured over the top. The crispy sticks of carrot and papaya and cooling cucumber are a delicious addition. The other thing that I love is the salad, which I usually get with the lamb, it is so tasty I usually end up ordering it even after I've eaten the Bun I came for. It has the green mango and papaya and apple and tons of fresh herbs, completely addictive. The best thing is the food is so cheap here, even if I splurge and order both, I still won't be paying as much as I would for an entree anywhere else.

    Went during a weeknight and had a flawless experience. The relatively empty dining room allowed for very attentive and snappy service and plenty of space and privacy to have a conversation. After being away from Atlanta for eight years, it's refreshing to know I can still find affordable and exciting food on Buford Highway!

    Love, love, love coming here. Com is one of those places where if you can't decide where you want to eat, you always manage to end up. It's great for both lunch and dinner and even though I always tend to get the same dish (pork with rice, fish cake, fried egg, and veggies), it always rocks. And everyone should stop crying about the lack of pho. Not all American restaurants have every single American dish, do they??? I'm sure that you can find pho somewhere else in the city. Zeesh.

    This place was on a 2007 50 Best Restaurants in Atlanta list. I checked it out. Food was average. Big portions. Attentive service. Would not choose to go again. If I were with people who wanted to go there, I would use all the powers of persuasion available to me to change their minds.

    I went there with a friend on a Monday afternoon. It was our first time and I don't know much about Vietnamese food. There seem to be various items on the menu worth trying, but we did not really get much help with the menu or suggestions. My noodles were fine, but nothing spectacular. However, if you know Vietnamese food, then this place should be a good one to try. There were a lot of Vietnamese people eating in the restaurant, which was a good sign.

    So I was forced to go with my friend Zack E. ;) to this place which I cant complain I had a really nice time. This was my first time eating Vietnamese food and I have to say that I really wasn't that impressed.. Don't get me wrong the food at this location was great..... I like the smoky sweet flavor of the dish... I had the the noodle with grill chicken on top.. not sure of the official name I will come back and updated it at a later time.... So I think I will give it a second try and let you know if was all that I expected Oh and the dessert at the end also deserves 2 thumbs up... it had a coffee flavor quite execellet!

    My husband and I decided to try something new tonight, so we visited COM for the first time. Based on the reviews I read here on Yelp, we knew a lot of good items to try, so we weren't scared off by the menus. In case you are nervous, the menus do have a decent amount of English on them. I had the lamb spring rolls and the bun (rice vermicelli) with pork tenderloin. My husband had the chicken spring rolls and the special with the crab cake, rice, beef, and fried egg. Everything was delicious, though next time I'm going to pour my sauce all over my food instead of carefully dipping my food in it. :) Of the four different meats I tasted, I probably liked the lamb the best, then the beef tenderloin (from my husband's plate), then the pork tenderloin, and finally the chicken. All were good, I just think that the beef and lamb really sing with tasty charred flavor. All of the vegetables in our spring rolls and entrees were remarkably fresh. Service was pretty good. I did have to wait a pretty long time to have my water refilled once, but our food came out fast and the spring rolls came out first (which frequently doesn't happen at some places on Buford Highway **coughPhoHoacough**). All tables were given small complimentary pieces of coffee flan. I usually don't like flan, but this was more cake-y than flan-y, so it was good. Also, it's hard to argue with free dessert. For the taste, the overall experience (the tables are very close together so you can easily watch the interesting things everyone else is ordering), and the amount and quality of the food for the (low) price, I definitely rate COM a solid five stars.

    So I just reviewed this restaurant because I was here last Saturday and today was my third time. Today I went with family for my sister's birthday. We went for lunch and once again it was great. We had apps and entrees. We had spring rolls, grape leaf rolls and papaya salad for apps - love it!! The fish vinaigrette is very good but also get some peanut sauce. You will not be disappointed. Today I got the fragrant rice with grilled chicken - very good. I also have tried the chicken curry and wok fry filet. Everything has been great. If you like spicy ask for their chile paste. It is fabulous!! Service has always been great. Ask questions if you don't know about any of the food items -they will help and steer you to what you want. Sometimes people need to go outside of their comfort zone and experience new things.

    Work closed down at noon the day before the holiday (wooo!), so we decided it was the perfect day to go to lunch. There had been talk of pho cravings, so we made our way to Buford Highway. Com happened to be the first place we recognized and we trotted our grumbling bellies in to make sure there was something vegetarian on the menu. There was, although if you're super sensitive about fish products, you should probably be explicit about that. We split our spring roll order, one veg roll, one shrimp. They were really tasty and fresh. He had the pho, which came out in a bowl the size of a quarter of the table (okay, I'm exaggerating slightly). I had the Shaking Tofu with vermicelli, which was basically stir fry tofu. The flavor on the tofu was unique and utterly fantastic...probably some of the best seasoning I've had in a long time! The sauce that came with had fish sauce in it, so I didn't dump it on top of my stir fry. And you know what, it didn't even need it! This meal scratched that pho itch, introduced me to some of the tastiest tofu I've had in a while, and made our stomachs incredibly happy. Win, win, win.
