Ca Mau

Many years ago, I loved Ca Mau in downtown San Jose. They had the best bun bo hue. They closed shop when they lost their restaurant because of some ordinance that forced them out.

I recently discovered Ca Mau on Yelp and wondered if it was the same owner.  The restaurant is now located on South White and Quimby in San Jose.

The broth tastes similar but it didn't have the depth of flavor the old broth had. Plus, they were missing a lot of the green leaves that makes bun bo hue so good.

 

Small Bun Bo Hue--$6.50. Add mint, lettuce, bean sprouts and banana blossoms.

I loved the noodles--chewy and yummy!

Soda Chanh--lemonade with club soda for $2.50. This is my favorite Vietnamese drink.
