Anam Cafe and Restaurant

"Anam is next to my dentist office so my wife and I wanted to try a new Vietnamese restaurant. We walked across and found this place. I would have to say the coffee with eggs is really good compared to other places where they either put boba or pudding which I think it's okay. We tried the fish spring roll, fried rice, and tofo. I would say I like the fried rice and tofo. My wife is more of a fish person so she loves the fish. The woman server was nice and quick with the food and refills. I will come back again. The place was set up for the Christmas holidays so it was nice. Parking is easy too."

"A well decorated restaurant with 2 levels. The staff was nice and kind and helpful. The service was quick. The food were very good. Strong and authentic taste, but there’s one thing, the noodle portions were a bit small. Despite coming in as a party of 2.5 (yeah, my baby counts as a half adult), we ordered 4 dishes. Two noodles: Pho and Bun Mam (Fermented fish noodles), one Fresh Spring Rolls and one Blood Sausage. And one Egg Coffee for drinks."

"French influence on Vietnamese cuisine created a unique steak dish. Who would have thought to find a really good ribeye steak in a Vietnamese restaurant? You can find a new type of steak dish here. Not the usual salty protein but it has instead a touch of sweet accompanied with pepper gravy. Their Banh Canh Cua is also one of the better versions of this dish."

"What a great meal, pho is really good here beautiful light broth, that steak and eggs special with paté and French bread is heaven really impressed with the quality naturally tender the flavors in this dish are original and delicious. Spring rolls really well done and huge. Prices are more than reasonable. Nice to have places like this opening with a varying take on Vietnamese than your average pho and rice plates, server was very nice and did a grear job,oh ya and what a beautiful interior, next time we're going to sit upstairs. Love love love this place."

"Service and staff were nice. The restaurant decorations lended a fun energetic vibe. It brings that phố cổ look and feel. The food is just okay. You can tell they tried. But the seasoning is just off somehow. For example the marinade for the grilled pork just tastes plain and very basic, it doesn't have that Vietnamese aroma or spice profile. And their Pan Banh Mi seems disjointed. The flavors of the things in the pan dont jive with each other. There's a restaurant in Sacramento that makes this dish like heaven. I judge all pan banh mi to that benchmark. I'm not dissing the establishment, I think the taste and flavors need a bit of work. Personally, I'm not a fan of the dishes I ordered, other's taste might differ. It's worth coming to check out the atmosphere."
