This noodle (Pho?) tastes good for me. The staff looks very kind.

I like that the restaurant has both Bún bò and cơm tấm. However the Bún bò stock was a tad too salty for my taste. Cơm tấm was great according to my friend.

The meat is soft and tasty, will come back here for sure for the best Bun Bo in town. I even finished the extra noodle, broth and meat I ordered more.

Tried Roc Spic on a whim for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the charming, old European café vibe. The space is air-conditioned, clean, and well-organized, with nostalgic Saigon photos lining the walls, which nice touch. I originally came for the cơm tấm but was told rice wouldn’t be available for two hours, so I opted for their bún bò Huế instead. I ordered the A Spice with pork trotter (150k), and my wife chose the C Spice (100k). The ingredients were fresh and high quality, but the portions felt underwhelming for the price, especially mine, which was light on noodles and at best, an adequate amount of meat. The sauces and pickled garlic were excellent, but I left feeling hungry, which was a letdown. Overall, great atmosphere and ingredient quality, but the portion size didn’t quite match the price.
