Bun Mam Cay Dua - Reservar mesa

Small, cozy mom pop cafe that serves delicious Vietnamese food. There's pho on the menu, but it's almost (literally) a footnote. I believe you come here when you have a craving for some of the more southern cuisines that the Viet culture has to offer in terms of noodles and rice plates. The service is friendly and pretty standard for these spots. The prices are more than reasonable. I came here specifically for other dishes other than pho. I ordered the banh xeo (Vietnamese crepes) and banh canh cua (crab noodle soup with fish patty, shrimp, and pork). I prob could have been good with one of those but I was excited to order and the prices were really reasonable. The banh xeo had a nice crisp...

I love this place so much and really hope it stays in business for a while! Not many businesses are brave enough to do bun mam because of the pungent smell and length of time it takes to prepare, but this restaurant does it and does it well! I always come here with my family (both with the older generation and younger generation on separate occasions) and we always leave very satisfied!Their menu is small, but for good reason because the items they serve are their signatures! We always opt for the banh xeo, bun mam and the banh canh cua.The banh xeo is a good shareable. Portions are good and it's not as messy as ordering a huge one. Super crispy and flavorful. A great starter to the meal! Th...

Wow! This small restaurant is bursting with flavor! The atmosphere is welcoming and charming. Our server was attentive, quick, and efficient, and the wait for our food was not long at all. I appreciate that the menu is straightforward, featuring options like rice plates, noodles, and appetizers. We tried the Banh Xeo, which came with three crispy mini pancakes and a side of fresh greens for wrapping. The noodles were fantastic, and the bun mam was incredibly tasty, with a broth that had a hint of sweetness and a distinct fermented fish flavor. I loved the pepper stuffed with Cha, and the vegetables served with the bun nam had a delightful crunch with every bite. Surprisingly, the pho was ver... Reserve uma mesa agora

This restaurant didn't quite meet my expectations for mam; the flavor was just average. I grew up enjoying authentic fermented fish, as my mom used to bring it home and cook it outside to avoid any odor in the house. The version here feels like a milder take, which is okay, but I personally prefer it with lemongrass, a touch of gray color, and that deep umami aroma that truly fills my soul with warmth. I might be going overboard about mam, but I crave it deeply and haven't found anything like it in the States. The service, however, was quick and friendly, so I appreciate that. This was my first visit, so there’s a chance it might improve in the future.

I genuinely wanted to enjoy this restaurant, but it falls short in several areas. It's a cozy mom-and-pop establishment with only about 4-5 tables, and while parking is conveniently available right outside, it tends to fill up quickly. The menu offers just two appetizers and around 6-7 main dishes. I tried the charbroiled BBQ ribs with broken rice, and unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The meat was overly tender to the point where it was difficult to chew. The pork chop rice lacked flavor and excitement as well. Overall, I didn't enjoy my experience.

Never had Bun Mam before and always wanting to try new dishes so I gave it a try. When they described it as a fermented fish stew, I was all in and ready for some serious pungent flavors. Perhaps I was expecting too much...but liked all the veggies that were added and overall it was a healthy soup with fish, eggplant, pepper. Also got to try the banh xeo and these were excellent. Comes as a set of three. Overall, I'm looking forward to trying their other dishes here!

So happy we stumbled upon this mom n pop small business. Fresh ingredients and generous portions. Excellent service- they were so accommodating for us and our toddler. My favorite was the shredded pork vermicelli.
