Omnivore - Cliff’s Top 10 Favorite Restaurants Countdown: Number 5

Cóm is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. While there are a couple of fancier spots in town, Co’m is inexpensive, informal and mainly quite healthy. Don’t go without trying the house salad, made with green mango, green papaya, Fuji apples, fried onions, roasted peanuts mint, basil and cilantro. You add the grilled seafood, meat or tofu of your choice.

Favorite dish: My default entrée is usually a bun (rice vermicelli) bowl with la lot leaves stuffed with lamb. 4005-E Buford Hwy., 404-320-0405. www.comgrill.com.
