cá com . bánh mì . bar

Lunch @CaCom.BahnMi.Bar for the bahn mi with Laotian sausage. Walking down the road I could smell this smokey flavour and nearly walked past till I saw the grill. The freshness of the bread roll is evident, soft, flaky, crunchy. The Laotian sausage is unique, oozing Asian flavours with the lemongrass being predominant and is a really delicious sausage, particularly thanks to the grilling which imparts a lovely smokey char for added flavour. Along with pate, cucumber, pickled carrot, coriander, and a hit of chilli that builds over time, this is a really tasty meal. #VietnameseFood #LaotianFood #lunch #bahnmi #LaotianSausage #bahnmi #Foodie #melbournefood #Richmond

We tried the Lao pork sausage and pork belly bánh mì — both packed to the brim, freshly made, and bursting with flavour. The sausage was the standout: spicy, aromatic, and grilled over a wood fire for that smoky finish. Ca Com brings Vietnamese flavours with a Laotian twist, blending French technique with house-made sauces and next-level fillings. A must-visit for any bánh mì fan!

I’m prepared to pay $17.5 for a good Banh Mi and this is a great tasting and delicious! All ingredients are on point and bread was top notch! My local Bahn mi joint in sunshine charges $11.50, their roll is packed to rafters everytime but lacks flavour and freshness that it’s worth avoiding these days. Came here by accident for a quick work lunch but I’d gladly come back to let my wife and daughter try the goodness served here. I’ll be back.

The fanciest bánh mì spot I’d been to, but unfortunately the sandwiches didn’t live up to expectations. Pork belly had chewy skin, and turmeric chicken was bland, lacking the usual fragrance. To make matters worse, the cook couldn’t stop coughing while preparing the food, and another staff member had to step in. It felt a bit unsanitary.

An institution. Sardines and Laotian sausage are magical wonders. A modern and unique take on traditional flavours. Melbourne food scene at its best.

The store is beautiful when you walk in, with an open kitchen and shelf full of baguette’s. I wanted to try everything on the menu but decided on the lao and pork belly bahn mi. The lao bahn mi was easily one of my favourite bites this year! Packed with so much flavor I was happy dancing on the street. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Loved this banh mi. Quality, fresh ingredients and the banh mi are made right infront of your face! Very generous with fillings and really enjoyed sitting at the bar having a chat to the chefs. Loved the chilli oil too - I ended up taking some with me back to Singapore.

★★★★★ Had the Cold Cut (Thịt Nguội) Bánh Mì, and it was amazing! Crispy roll , fresh fillings, and the onion oil with pork floss topping was a game changer. Friendly service and a lovely setup. Will definitely be back to try more. A must-try in Richmond!
