Our first meal, we ordered beef pho, a chicken special pho and also the quail. These were all delicious and far exceeded our expectations - tasty, comforting and definitely worth a regular return visit. Our return trip was tonight and if we thought our first trip was really good, this trip blew us out of the water. We each ordered a combination vermicelli salad with pork spring roll, lemongrass chicken and beef. These were unbelievable- so much flavour (lots of herbs) and primo quality of ingredients. Meal was huge, yet we felt light and clean afterwards. We have spent many nights trialling and tribulating through various Vietnamese corners in Brisbane, far and wide, but we were blown away by the quality, freshness and depth of flavours in these dishes. Thank you very much CÓM- happy to have you in the neighbourhood ????

With several restaurants in mind I decided on Com (Rice in Vietnamese) which opened 2 months ago. Walking in I see no wait staff so I seat myself down. A waitress walks past ignoring me and as she walks past a second time I ask her for the menu. She apologises and returns promptly with the menu, glass of cold water and cutlery. I am surprised the soup noodles are $16-18 each. I order a traditional banh mi thit ($7.80) and deep fried chicken wings ($7.80). The Vietnamese menu is 40-50% more expensive for similar dishes in Darra (5 minutes away) and Inala (10 minutes away). My banh mi thit is attractively presented. The crust is warm and crispy and I can taste the duck pate and fresh salad but the sliced pork is sorely lacking. I see two thin slivers of pork, roughly a third of the pork I would get in Darra/Inala. I have yet to order a banh mi thit so lacking in ingredients. Rating: 3.0/5.0 The fried chicken wings arrive with a dipping sauce. It is a nice dish but I am disappointed with the small serve. Rating: 3.5/5.0 This restaurant is spotlessly clean and I like the design. Had the servings been more generous I would have bumped the overall score up a full point.
