Cong Tu Bot is a restaurant known for its open kitchen and friendly staff, making guests feel at home as soon as they walk in. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is kind, contributing to an authentic and unique take on Vietnamese food. Popular choices include the cabbage salad, rice crackers, and garlic rice, with the salad being a highlight due to its freshness. Standout dishes feature the best pho ga, chicken pho with tender chicken served with culantro, basil, cilantro, lime, bean sprouts, fish sauce, and chilis, as well as the "lil shrimp cakes" and shaken flat iron beef, which some guests find so good they would order two. Cocktails, such as the S&P cocktail, are also well-received. However, appetizers can take some time to arrive. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the unique and flavorful dishes. It is recommended to make a reservation and sit at the bar to enjoy the energetic atmosphere. Some visitors suggest trying the shrimp cake, clam congee, and Loc Lac, but be aware that Loc Lac may run out by 7:30 pm. Overall, the cuisine is considered truly spectacular, with guests willing to drive long distances just to enjoy the food again.
