Fresh and authentic Vietnamese food. My order is always correct. The prices are so affordable. Not in the best neighborhood it very clean inside.

Awesome food! Never disappoints no matter what I order and we always end up getting the sesame ball with bean paste!

Totally overrated food. The place is dark, dated and not so clean. For the locals on lunch break it might be better (and cheaper) choice than Taco Bell or other chain restaurants around, but if you are visiting ABQ don't bother just because Guy Fieri recommended the place few years ago. We will not go back.

Thank you, yelp reviewers! I am a field traveler and was in an unfamiliar area. Looking for something to eat quickly. This place is a diamond in the rough. It's no wonder that it's crowded. The grilled chicken Vietnamese salad was unbelievable and priced right!

Did not expect this!! It's a hidden gem. ZeRong is small they are super busy and the food was outrageously good. We had the bowls. I heard other patrons talking how good the sandwiches were. Next time trying a sandwich. highly recommend you give them a try!

This is a place better suited for pickup, rather than dine-in. This bakery had the BEST sandwiches in the city. They are almost always busy, so expect a little wait.Had such an amazing lunch there yesterday. Please support them! Thank you Coda !!

The food here is incredible! Best food in Albuquerque!
This is a local favorite. Not in the best part of town, but this hole in the wall makes some great food.

Absolutely amazing! I have tried at least 5 different banh mi places in Denver trying to find the best and was stunned to find this place in Albuquerque that might just be better than anything I’ve tried in Denver. I had the pork pate chaud, #1 Dac Biet, cinnamon raisin roll, and Vietnamese iced coffee, and my husband had the #10 lemongrass beef.First off, the banh mi itself is an extremely generous portion for the price compared to what we are used to in Denver — the sandwiches are $8.50 for a foot long and loaded with toppings. The bread to filling ratio is on point — you won’t have a single bite where you wonder “where’s the meat and veggies?” The bread is chewy, and the veggies are thinly sliced so they distribute well throughout the sandwich.The puff pastry is excellent. I was especially impressed with the cinnamon raisin roll which was the perfect combination of buttery, flaky, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside that I look for when hunting for a good laminated dough pastry.My only regret is not trying the green chile chicken pate chaud. I love well done, creative fusion, and with how delicious the more classic/authentic dishes were, I get the feeling that I would’ve been impressed with the execution of this creative New Mexican version of pate chaud as well.Will definitely be back next time we’re in town!

This was really good. Good bread, good filling, made quickly, and a surprisingly low price. This place is doing something very impressive. I went in with high expectations--and they all were met.

Came here today for the first time. This place is busy and popular for a reason! Standing room only for Takeout. Ordered a sesame ball, Vietnamese iced coffee and a pork banh mi sandwich. Delicious. Bread made in-house too! Friendly staff, will be back!
The sandwiches are VERY GOOD!
