“ What a pleasant atmosphere and vibe at this restaurant. We were welcomed promptly and ourI order taken immediately. We ordered the matcha banana latte along with the ham and cheese sandwich breakfast sandwich and then the avocado toast. All of them were very tasty,made witb fresh ingredients. The food was presented beautifully.. The only reason I gave the food four stars was because I ordered the matcha latte extra hot and it came out cold. We were in a rush, I didn't have time for them to remake it hence t took it as is home. The Latte iced which was good nothing bad it's just I had my heart set on having a hot matcha. I'm looking forward to going back to try the restaurant dine in. ”

“ Stopped by this spot while visiting Gilroy and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The decor is charming, with a cute photo wall and Victorian-inspired touches that make it feel cozy and unique. As for the food, it’s not top tier but still enjoyable. We tried the fresh spring rolls, which came in a large portion and were packed with crunchy vegetables. The pork banh mi was decent, though nothing particularly special. The Vietnamese coffee also wasn’t standout, but it was good enough that I’d order it again. Prices are a little on the higher side for Vietnamese food, but the service was quick and the ambiance made it worth it. Overall, while the food may not blow you away, the setting and experience make it a nice spot to check out at least once. ”
“ Beautiful spot with great presentation and friendly service! Food was high quality and delicious. We found the Arugula Salad and the California Salad to be great choices. The best were the appetizers we had, the spring rolls and the potstickers! Drinks were also very refreshing! ”
“ I’ve been to Annam Bistro & Café a few times now, and it’s always great. I usually come here for the mango salad with chicken when I want something delicious and fresh. This time, we also tried the chicken curry with rice, and it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It was my first time bringing my wife here, and she really enjoyed it too. The place has such a nice, relaxing atmosphere, and it made for a really pleasant date. The food, tea, and presentation were all spot on. Still one of my favorite spots for a good meal and a calm setting. Highly recommend. ”
