Okay. I think I found the best PHO in Hong Kong!

I'm from California , San Jose to be exact and we have tons of awesome Vietnamese food and I'ven to vietnam before so I've tasted the best of the best and I heard that HK has no good viet food.

I found a couple places in Tin Hau but they were inconsistent... Then I heard about CHOM CHOM. Came here with 3 people and we absolutely loved it! I had the BUN BO HUE (spicy beef noodle soup) and it was good! The broth was just right and I could tell that they really cook their broth for hours and use many herbs and spices. Everyone else had the Beef Pho and that was really good as well.

They also have a small vase full of mints and basil that you can help yourself with which is what Vietnamese food is about!! In San Jose and Vietnam, they always include a separate plate full of lemon, basil, mints, etc so you can totally throw it into your food, but in HK, at other places, you have to ask for it. And it comes in a very small portion.... then you feel like a pain in the butt if you ask for more. But at CHOM CHOM I can snip as much as I want. (has scissors too)

I also had the mint lemon soda which was good, and the owner, Peter let us try his ice cream which was delightful. It was a different type of ice cream because he put some spices/herbs on top such as chili, cinnamon and other stuff.

Overall, I found my place for Vietnamese food so when I"m feening for it, I know where to go. And it's in Central so it's close to my work. What a blessing!

The owner, Peter is a cool dude too. Interesting person to chat with and he tells us what makes the finest pho and other dishes and he's only interested in making his dishes at the best quality, the original way and better than other restaurants, or he won't do it.

So in summary we had:

Beef Pho
Spicey Beef noodle soup (Bon Bo Hue)
Mint lemon Soda
Vietnamese Coffee (cafe suda)
vegatarian spring rolls

Everyone loved the food and my cousins also agreed that it's the best PHO in HK.
Until next time! I plan on trying the vermecelli dry noodle with veggie/meat dish.

常說在香港做得似樣的越南菜店是越來越少 (就連老字號如"老趙"及"老許"水準也都大不如前了),真是令人氣餒不已....最近聽聞在蘭桂坊商廈內的一間樓上舖賣的越南菜有着不錯的水平。自己就抱着一種"又不妨去試一下"的心態來去吃吃....這裡主力是做午市生意的,晚市則以私房形式經營,要集齊多幾個人才能打電話預約。看到高枱上放着晚市的set menu,驟眼看下去吃的並不算是很特別的菜式,但收費卻是每人頭差不多五百大洋....會不會是有點誇張及overpriced了?接着看見menu stand旁邊放了已一開四的青檸及切粒青紅椒各一小碗,再加上那小樽呈淡橙色而略帶少許混濁的魚露。將少許倒進小碟內試了一口,鹹與鮮並重,甚不錯....Set lunch可以選擇兩道或三道菜的,其實所謂三道即是頭盤加主菜連飲品而已。專程而來的我當然要連嚐三道。先來的是一杯Cold Lemongrass Ginger Tea。入口的確是如其名的夠冰凍而且含薑帶來的輕微辛辣及香茅的獨有香草香,吞進喉嚨時是有如一道清泉般,給人一種refreshing的感覺。不過缺點則是由於下了頗多的冰塊之關係,所以隨時間之流逝過後,味道就越

前吃則從三選一中揀了鮮蝦米紙卷(Shrimp Rice Paper Rolls)掌勺的以半透明的米紙包裹着開邊蝦件、紅蘿蔔條、青瓜條、米粉、炸蒜片及羅勒葉,同樣是入口讓人感到很清爽之作。米紙有米香且略帶韌勁,將本身沒甚味道的它醮上些魚露來吃,是甚有睇頭的;只可惜是蝦用的不是很新鮮甜美的貨色,吃起來自然就要扣一點分;伴碟的則有一大塊圓形大蝦片及柚子沙律。前者不很油膩且夠脆及有蝦鮮,好吃;後者以柚子絲、芽菜、紅蘿蔔、碎花生及白芝蔴混入而成。材料豐富是豐富了,但稍嫌醬汁下得不夠,味道是過份的"清淡"。始終少了帶酸的醬汁去作調劑及刺激一下味蕾,怎也覺得好像差了少許...

主食當然必選小弟的摯愛生牛肉河(Beef Pho)。未嚐之先已先嗅到有蠻重的黑椒香氣;湯底看起來不太混濁但味偏淡,只帶少許酸味是它的另一特點,牛味及香老實說是不太感受得到的。此時要下點青及紅椒粒及擠少許青檸汁進去才令它的味道多了些變化;值得一讚是侍者隨河粉奉上的薄荷葉及九層塔。平常到越南菜館時若有此兩味置於竹籃上已是莫大的恩賜了,但如今在此竟是份量毫不吝嗇的插在一只水杯中任摘唔嬲,算是城中少有較正宗的風味;牛肉方面並不是用上價亷的雪藏肥牛而是新鮮牛肉,入口咬落味甜之餘又夠淰糯,是有水準的,只可惜份量是太少而且大多碎濕濕....

聽過這裡自製的雪糕很不錯,也就試了一份平時較少食到的玉桂味雪糕。呈淺啡色的它是半溶的,份量是比想像中少。甜度適中之外玉桂香味也很突出 (當然這亦要歸功於後加的一小撮玉桂粉);滑度上亦很夠而不會死實實....總的來講是美味的,不過只有如此份量就要付出二十七個大洋才吃得到,食水委實是有點深...

不過想深一層,這裡始終是位處中環地段。在租貴人工又貴的情況下,這也是可以理解的....

饞嘴,當然是不能計較那麼多了....

可能天氣關係,這日想吃口味較清新的越菜做lunch。想起這間新開的上樓越菜餐廳,便去試試。小小的餐廳裝修簡約以白、啡和藍色為主,地方整潔企理,第一印象不錯。座位不多只有約20個,大部份對著open kitchen,其他面壁,另在角落有一張小方枱可坐2人。座位算擺得密,如果坐滿都應該會幾逼。可能這時已差不多2點已過了lunch的peak hour吧,有很多位,我被帶到對著廚房又靠窗邊的位。真好,可以看到廚房預備食物又有街景看。這裡的午市餐單很簡單,全列在這張紙上。基本上可選前菜加主菜($82),或前菜、主菜加飲品($91),各有3、4種選擇。另可以再加雪糕、將主菜加大碼或多加一杯飲品。我就要了炸春卷做前菜、牛肉粉做主菜和cold lemongrass ginger tea做飲品。落單不久後店員告訴我由於我所選的前菜炸春卷數量不夠,可否給我一間蝦春卷。對我來說簡直是好消息那會介意,反正剛才我也有考慮過點哪款前菜。炸春卷餡有豬肉、冬菇等,熱辣辣很香脆。而我覺得蝦春卷口味更清新,相信我下次會點這個。蝦片很鮮甜又脆,好吃!沙律也不錯,很清新。值得一提是這個'汁'/魚露,很特別因有清甜的青檸汁和橙

接著吃主菜招牌牛肉粉。湯很清,但稍嫌淡了一點,要自己加香料和魚露等調味。牛肉鮮甜,粉也不錯。不過份量不多,難怪有個option是加$18把主菜加大啦。

這時有點意猶未盡,看到有人客在吃雪糕,於是也點了份。這裡的雪糕是自家製,口味每日不同。這日是basil mint和saigon cinnamon,都幾特別。我就點了Saigon cinnamon($27)。

Wonderful food, great chef-owner Peter Franklin (Vietnamese American, former investment banker). Terrific Vietnamese food, light with sophisticated/subtle flavors. Finally a Vietnamese restaurant in HK that is in the big leagues. Incredbile starter drinks to start. Appetiser: lovely fresh rice paper rolls or spring rolls.

ChomChom Vietnamese Restaurant, 12 Wellington St. Lunch & dinner.
We've eaten here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Wonderful food, great chef-owner Peter Franklin (Vietnamese American, former investment banker). Terrific Vietnamese food, light with sophisticated/subtle flavors. Finally a Vietnamese restaurant in HK that is in the big leagues.

Incredbile starter drinks to start. Appetiser: lovely fresh rice paper rolls or spring rolls. Inventive mint/basil sorbet to cleanse the palate. Best Pho we've ever had--seafood, herbs, incredible broth. And the ice cream! Peter spent USD thousands on an ice cream machine that makes the ice cream fast -- no ice crystals, rich and light ice cream. He infuses the cream with the flavor--banana caramel; toasted coconut; mango passionfruit. Best ice cream we've ever had!

(Why is the food so delish? Peter went to Cordon Bleu in Bangkok for a year. So he uses French cooking techniques for Viernamese food. Ask him to explain, I've learned a lot. At some point he'll be leading cooking classes -- sign me up!)

The set up is entertaining. A bar around the small kitchen. 15 places where the focus is watching the chef & staff in action preparing the meal. For groups of 3-6 you could still talk with each other. Peter is personable, it's interesting to talk with him.

The service is good. Orders are taken quickly. Food is prepared in front of you. It's beautifully presented. (Reminds me of Japanese chef-owneer restaurants in terms of ambiance and quality/deliciousness of food.)

The only downside-- we're perched on bar stools. You have to put your feet on the rungs of the stool. Comfortable for my average-height Asian hubby. A little tiresome by the end of the meal for this long-legged western woman. But livable. And the food is worth it. (OK for two hours. If you wanted to spend hours and hours then this might not be the right place. Then I'd go to Robuchon.)

Price is reasonable for this quality of food. (Seven-course dinner set menu around HK$500/person). Open for lunch daily. Open dinner on Fri and Sat. Can be reserved for groups on other nights. Cash only. We'll be back again and again. For every day dinners and maybe for birthdays too.

Just had lunch there and I can’t help not to post a review for this overrated pho
!

Booked a table for 2 at 12:15pm and over the phone the waitress warned me to be ON TIME . So we arrived at noon and the place is so stuffy and filled with grease and deep fry odor smell. Not impressed ! But we gave it a try anyway so we go ahead ordered the set lunch with spring rolls and the so called their signature Beef Pho

The Pho is very disappointing . Soup was bland and the beef was bland … simply tasteless and we can end up only eating half the bowl so they help us to clear the table and we are finish up our drinks . we think that the drinks ( coffee and the ginger tea) is more up to par than the actual food.

The waitress sent our bill on our table at 12:30 when we’re still having our drinks .. 3 mins passed by and she came back and ask us to settle the bill and return the table now coz customer is coming . I looked over the place and there are still around 8 seats emptied. We paid the bill and while we walk out I asked the waitress , my lunch booking is 12:15pm , you warned us we can’t be late so we arrived at noon and you’re demanding us to leave at 12:35pm?

It’s only by then the waitress realized she upset the customer but it’s too late anyway .. with such hospitability and food quality i wish them good luck in sustaining their business in long run.

I have been here a couple times for lunch soon after it opened and have always really enjoyed it, but going for dinner really took it to another level. As is typical with private kitchens they had a set menu. The menu had 5 substantial dishes and a couple of extras.

I got there before my dining companions, but was seated quickly. Once two of my dining companions arrived they were seated and we were presented with cocktails. The cocktail was a French Mojito which was made fragrant and special by the addition of elderflower liqueur. That along with a nibble of crab chip with a dallop of vietnamese pesto was a wonderful start to the meal.

The first course was a combination of rolls which included 2 pieces each of shrimp mango salad rolls, pork/herb/veggie salad roll, and deep fried imperial rolls with pork. A bowl of seafood pho came next. The chicken broth base that was infused with seafood and herbs was topped with a whole prawn, clams, and a poached quail egg. It was beautifully presented. We were then given small bowls of homemade cucumber mint sorbet to cleanse our palates. The following course was a grilled razor clam that was done just right. The seasonings were just enough not to overpower the delicate taste of the clam. Next came the Bo Luc Lac which is a usual vietnamese favorite of mine. It was out of this world here. The savory, slightly sweet, very umami flavor of the beef was achieved with a 20-ingredient rub according to the owner. He needs to bottle the stuff! The beef was on a bed of crispy noodles. The finale was 2 scoops of homemade gelato - one was saigon cinnamon and the other was vietnamese coffee. Both were divine and a perfect ending.

Overall this was a delicious multi-course meal in an intimate private kitchen setting. The owner is always there and is happy to chat about his creations. I'm looking forward to introducing other friends to chom chom and to get back there for another good meal.

went there several times for both lunch and dinner..the restaurant always managed to give some little good surprise here and there, can feel the ower and staff there are putting a lot of thoughts and improving continuously on every single detail,.
The drinks are always refreshing with right amount sugar (most restaurant put too much), highly recommend their hot lemongrass tea. The fried rolls are never greasy, just like mom does the home cooking, they suck the extra oil away. The pho is simply the best i have had here in Hong Kong, in terms of the texture of the noodle and taste of the soup..the ice cream is definitely the highlight, all freshly made, again not too sweet, with unusual flavors, sometimes creative presentations..
Dinner was a big surprise..although i had had lunch there several times before.. The chef kept creating something new for the dinner (yes, went there twice for dinner)..love their seafood pho and beef tenderlion with crispy egg noodle..every dish is well presented with creative herbs and fresh vegetables..
Peter (the chef/owner) and all the staff there are always friendly, they like to chat about how chom chom came into being step by step, how they made the pho taste just like the homecook in vietnam and how they create several courses, genuine indochine with simply good ingredients, good combination, nothing pretentious or over-complicated.
P.S. corkage fee is a great bargain at 50/bottle..

I checked out this private kitchen for lunch and was impressed with the quality of the food. I tasted both the shrimp summer rolls and the deep fried imperial roll. I liked them both. I next had the beef pho and it was amazing. The complex intense flavor of the broth was lightened by the various herbs that were pre-added to my bowl. The beef slices were delicious tho they left me wanting more... The portion of the pho I thought was perfect. There is the option of getting a larger size if you're

I checked out this private kitchen for lunch and was impressed with the quality of the food. I tasted both the shrimp summer rolls and the deep fried imperial roll. I liked them both. I next had the beef pho and it was amazing. The complex intense flavor of the broth was lightened by the various herbs that were pre-added to my bowl. The beef slices were delicious tho they left me wanting more... The portion of the pho I thought was perfect. There is the option of getting a larger size if you're a big eater. The homemade sauces that accompanied the dishes were delicious - really loved the peanut sauce, the nuoc cham, and the chilli sauce. I did ask the owner if I could buy some of his sauce and he said he's considering bottling and selling them. I can't wait!

Along with my meal I had the Vietnamese coffee which was just like the ones I had while traveling in Vietnam. It's a bit sweeter than I like my coffee, but every once in a while it is a dessert-like treat. Speaking of dessert... of course I had to try the daily changing homemade gelato on offer. That day it was Basil Mint. It was divine - so creamy and the herb flavors were apparent, but not overpowering.

My visit may have been during the first week or two after it opened. We were seated quickly, but the service wasn't perfect. I'm sure with a few more weeks under it's belt it will improve. The space is very small, but since moving to HK from NYC I've come to love the private kitchen concept found in this city so don't mind a tight squeeze for a tasty morsel.

Overall the quality of the food was great. The ingredients were all extremely fresh. I know pricing opinions are subjective and all over the map, but if you ask me HK100 for 2 courses and a beverage in central sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm definitely going back to try some of the other items on the menu.

I went to Chom Chom alone, having heard so much about it. There was a long line but as I was alone, I was given a very small space between 2 strangers. I decided to wait a bit more, so that I would have some elbow room.

It was very busy and the staff were clearly overwhelmed. My chicken pho arrived before the spring rolls. The chicken pho was flavourful - mainly because of the lemon grass. I didn't see any other herbs that I could have added perhaps because they were already taken. The noodles were soggy, though - and it was not the best pho I ever had.

The spring rolls which came after the pho were terrible. Small, flavourless and boring. I could not get any trace of pork or mushroom in there. I've had nem which are big and juicy - delicious - but that was not to be had at Chom Chom.

I am not sure if I would go back here - it is a very high stress environment - and not the best place for a leisurely meal. I heard the owner telling some people that their seats would be needed in 30 minutes - they had just entered!!

Read about this place in a magazine and gave it a try yesterday during lunch.

As mentioned by previous diners, the place is small and sits about 20 people, which means you must make a reservation to dine here.

Friends and I ordered all 3 appetizers and 3 out of the 4 main dishes except for the baguette sandwich.

Appetizer:
- Both the fresh rice paper rolls and vegetarian rice paper rolls tasted similarly blend. Even with the fish sauce, which is much less salty than the usual, there was still not much taste. (Note that I'm not a fan of heavy taste but both rolls could use a bit more salt)
- I didn't try the crispy spring rolls so cannot comment on it

Main Course:
- Beef pho: Nothing to "whoa" about. Normal tasting
- Chicken pho: This was more refreshing and tastier than the beef pho as the soup base was lighter yet still flavorful
- Bun noodle salad: My favorite out of the 3. Good taste without being overly salty, which is often the case with the fish sauce. The 5-spice pork was nicely roasted with a bit of charcoal

For drinks, I had the hot spicy lemongrass ginger tea, which was right on in terms of sweetness and temperature. However, the portion was extremely small (much less than the cold drinks); I finished mine in 5 small sips.

In terms of service, all 3 including the boss were friendly and patient despite the heavy load of work. The place itself, however, was way too noisy given the small size and low ceiling. Together with the so-so food that weren't quite impressive, not sure whether I'd be back again...

裝修以法式為主,相信跟越南曾被法國統治有關,深受法國文化影響。
加上越南籍老闆兼主廚 Peter ,能說流利英文,曾到法國學廚;運用他嶄新的意念及無限的心思,融入越南菜,從平凡中創出不平凡!
但仍保留原有風味!

吸引我幫襯之處,用料新鮮之外,主張無味精;還有,加入清新元素,令口味更多元化!

Main course 主菜

Hanoi-Style Chicken Pho 河內雞肉湯河
湯河是預期中的大大碗,香氣四溢!
加入新品種香葉、蔥、紫洋蔥,未嚐已刺激著嗅覺!
湯底乃是一碗美味湯河的靈魂所在,先趁熱呷一口湯,熱度夠,充滿魚露味道!
鮮甜美味!個人覺得重口味一點!
雪白的河粉薄而剔透,幼身又滑溜,容易入口,質地不錯!
第一口的河粉富金不換味,富清幽香氣!讓湯底慢慢滲入後,口味會與別不同!
卻稍嫌雞胸肉有點嚡!而且味道方面也不見突出。

有咖啡、汽水、薑茶.....等選擇。


Hot Vietnam Coffee 越式咖啡
還以為是滴漏咖啡,有點失望!
經深度烘焙的咖啡豆沖調出來,顏色較深色。
咖啡入口先嚐到非常濃郁帶點甘苦,一些偏酸,然後甘香餘韻!
甜味的煉奶,正好平衡其甘苦味!味道不錯的越式咖啡。

I came for the soft opening because I heard about the restaurant from various people on social networks - both Facebook and Twitter. I took advantage of their 2-for-1 special, and came with my friend. We both ordered the fresh spring rolls, and Peter gave us an eggroll to try.

I came for the soft opening because I heard about the restaurant from various people on social networks - both Facebook and Twitter.

I took advantage of their 2-for-1 special, and came with my friend. We both ordered the fresh spring rolls, and Peter gave us an eggroll to try. I didn't particularly care for the eggroll, but the spring rolls weren't bad. The best part was that Peter serves peanut sauce with his spring rolls, something you don't find anywhere else in Hong Kong.

I decided to try the coffee, since I read somewhere that he makes his coffee stronger than your average Vietnamese coffee. It was tasty - hopefully they'll include an iced version when they've settled down. My friend got some iced ginger drink, which she said was a bit too spicy for her taste.

I decided to try their noodle bowl with the 5-spice pork, while my friend got the chicken pho. Their noodle bowl was smaller than I expected. I don't know if this is their regular size, but if I had paid regular price ($88 + 10%SC) for it, I would've been a little upset. Although the noodles were delicious, I really expected more food. Maybe next time I'll have the pho instead It looked more filling.

They're supposed to have banh mis soon, so I'm excited for that.

Something different about their shop is that they have fresh herbs on the tables if you think you need to add more to your food.

It was $100 because of their special, so $50 each.

Peter and his staff are really friendly, and I can't wait for their real opening. Although the food was smaller than I expected, it's priced the same as other restaurants in the Central area.

I typically avoid new restaurants for at least 6 months to allow the operation to settle in (or not at all) but someone recommended this pho bar in the LKF area. So, I thought I'd give it a try.I went to the place during the soft opening period and after the lunchtime rush hour. The place seats around 20 around an open kitchen and interior was comfortable and pleasant.

I typically avoid new restaurants for at least 6 months to allow the operation to settle in (or not at all) but someone recommended this pho bar in the LKF area. So, I thought I'd give it a try.

I went to the place during the soft opening period and after the lunchtime rush hour. The place seats around 20 around an open kitchen and interior was comfortable and pleasant. The wall by the entrance was decorated with some of the food ingredients on the shelves: bottles of fish sauce, jars of spices and cans of coffee beans; so far so good.

The set lunch included an appetizer, a main course of pho and a beverage. I selected the soft shrimp and pork roll, the chicken noodle (pho ga) and a lemongrass-ginger drink. The appetizer was served with a side of spicy green papaya salad and a large prawn cracker, all on a banana leaf-lined tray. 3 different sauces were available (peanut, fish sauce/vinegar and fermented chili) and were all made on the premises. The rolls were flavorful and, surprisingly, the shrimp tasted like shrimp and was not just there for texture. The pho had both dark and white meat on top of the noodles, sitting in homemade chicken broth. Lightly blanched red onion and short fat bean sprouts accompanied the bowl. It was the herbs that brought a smile to my face when I tasted the combination of herbs, some of which I recognized, some i did not, PLUS thinly sliced kafir lime leaves. The broth was well seasoned with white pepper and was obviously made with a lot of attention. I picked up the bowl and drained the liquid which I normally would not dare to do at other pho places. The lemongrass-ginger drink was a very refreshing execution and was a nice change from my regular choice of a lime soda.

Portions were generous and the combination of the courses was more than enough to allow me to leave well-fed. The owner topped it off with a cup of dripped coffee on the house. I have to go back again to try the pho bo (beef version) as that will be the other signature dish.

It is an easy place to like when the food does not pretend to be something which it is not. There is a sense of genuineness and sincerity in the overall experience (I cannot comment on authenticity since I am not Vietnamese) and makes me want to go back again, maybe even on a regular basis.
