Coriander Cafe

The food is amazing, especially the Banh Mi (I recommend the sesame ginger beef or the roast pork) and ask for it spicy. The spring rolls are amazing and the peanut sauce is very authentic - get the "crunchies". Their pho is unique and delicious - 8 ask for extra cilantro and the spicy oil. This is a more modern and gourmet take on Vietnamese cuisine and they execute very well. Food is always fresh and delicious. Every time I'm in town I try to make a stop in! The banh mi is seriously the best I've had anywhere in this hemisphere.

Always a staple for good food that tastes fresh. If you're in a hurry this might not be the place to go because they do take their time preparing your order. Waitstaff is genuinely always courteous, the cooks prepare food in a clean and healthy way (who wants food poisoning), the restaurant is clean, and the prices are reasonable.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I have never been disappointed by the food or service. My mom once thought that spring rolls meant the ones you get from Chinese buffets, but they serve the kinds wrapped in rice paper. They offered to take it back for her. The people working here are great, the tables are always really clean, and the food is amazing and authentic.

Coriander Cafe is a Norman gem. Their menu is simple, but allow so many different combinations and flavors. You could try something new or stick to your favorite. This is one of those places I can always be in the mood for. Their Phō is perfect for cold and rainy days to warm your bones, or a light and colorful rice bowl is a great light dish for a busy day on campus. They get their food from local vendors so its always the freshest possible. I will say though, if you go late in the evening, they can sometimes be out of ingredients, but this a fine price to pay for Freshness. The staff has always been good to me, and the atmosphere is wonderful. This is definitely a campus favorite of mine.
