    Short rib, pork, and shrimp paste broken rice with egg
    Shawn N.

    Went here with my parents for Father's Day. Negatives: -cleanliness, the tables are sticky and the men's restroom had a lot of small flies. Would not go back to this restroom. Positives: -taste, the broken rice is good with decent flavor. Very similar flavor to com tam Xi gon without the crazy long wait. -value, better value than most com tam places. I would return just for the value. -service, quick and responsive no complaints here. Overall 5/5 I will return to this place for the food and the value, but I'll be going to a different restroom lol

    Okay, we walked in today 7/10/2025. Open floor and it smelled really good! A young man told us to take a seat anywhere. We sat and ordered our food really quickly! Food came out quick, we ordered the BBQ Beef Ribs, Shrimp, Shrimp Stick, Chinese sausage, & BBQ Beef. Everything was seasoned really good and it tasted amazing! I knocked off a star because the customer service could be a bit better! Again, both guys were really nice, but the pace was a bit too slow for us, and on top of that the AC was down, so the door was open and we had to keep swatting our flies away from our food! Overall food was 4.5/5 and service was 3/5!

    I went here on a Thursday night and there was no wait. The staff were quick to greet me and hand me a menu. I ordered the Com Tam - Pork Egg Cake, Shrimp, Pork BBQ, Pork Skin. Was served with a hot pork broth. The fish sauce was in a pincher and self served. I thought the food was a bit too peppery for my taste. The shrimp was charbroiled and marinated well. The rice plates start at $14 and go up as you add sides. The down side might be the meat options are shrimp and pork. It's in a large strip mall with plenty of parking. The place is on a corner and you won't miss it.

    I saw this place through IG and they sell com tam (broken rice) dishes. What makes it different from other places, they allow you to pick your 3 toppings and charge extra when you want more than that. Location- Located inside a shopping plaza, decent amount of parking. Restaurant is located on the corner facing the driveway entrance. They have ample tables and chairs. Restroom is limited, but they have sinks outside to wash hands. Food- It is solely focus on com tam, so it was nice to pick out your toppings. Toppings filled up the plate and could be two meals worth for some people. Since it is com tam, it comes with soup and pickled vegetables as well. Everything tastes good, but the rice was a little too moist. Plus, if you are dining in, you get a small free jello dessert. Price- It's reasonable and average pricing, considering there are many com tam places nearby, if you are interested in pork chop, there's another place known for offering large pieces. This place is good because you can customize your plate of the toppings you desire. However, make sure you bring cash or else you will be charge 3% convenience fee for using your card. Service- It was quick for them to bring out the food and drinks. Overall- Convenient place if you are nearby and craving com tam or want a personalized dish experience.

    They do not SKIMP on the portion of food. We went for a late dinner and luckily it wasn't busy (it was a weekday). The vermincelli noodles with bbq pork and egg roll surely hit the spot. However I wished there was another egg roll to balance all the other ingredients. The meat was very juicy and had a nice charred taste. My family got the broken rice dishes and surprisingly they were able to finish the whole plate, given they don't each much. With a plate larger than their faces and to be able finish everything, it's worth coming here! The service was quick and the staff was very friendly :) we would come back when we're down in SoCal again

    thịt nướng, chả trứng and tàu hủ ky = $14
    Trung N.

    Not my favorite. I love com tam and this place is not it. For $14, you choose 3 items from a list of offerings. Unlike other com tam places where they offer a solid base with a main protein and a few other things, i.e. bi and chả trứng free of charge, you have to build your own here. I chose thịt nướng, chả trứng and tàu hủ ky. There was nothing particularly memorable about my com tam experience here - the chả trứng and tàu hủ ky were pretty dry. Yikes. No bueno. In all honesty, it's not a very good value here and portions are small. They just kinda assemble your plate. I'd skip this place if you're on the hunt for a good com tam place. There are far better places in the area to eat this dish.

    Extra bbq pork meat.
    Julia V.

    I tried the Com Tam with BBQ pork and grilled shrimp on cane. There wasn't as much meat as my first visit, but the marinade was good. The side of extra BBQ pork was also smaller than expected. Overall, it was average. The food was cold, so I had to microwave it. I might have received old food since it was only 9 AM. The total was almost $24, and I'm not sure if I'll return.

    The food is delicious and the servers are always friendly! I usually get the broken rice with bbq pork meat and bbq pork meat. Really large portions for such a great price.

    Pork ribs only rice plate
    Elize B.

    The food portion is decent. Ribs were flavorful. The restaurant seems clean. The only regrettable thing that made me not wanting to come back here is the 2% credit card fee charged to customers. Their reason is because the bank charges the fee. This BS excuse from multiple restaurants in this area needs to be stopped. This is a business expense that can be claimed for tax deduction. With your charge of $15 for a plate, you can't expect the customers pay for your business cost then claim the fee for tax deduction end of year. Let me know if you need a a referral for a CPA.

    1. The rice dish was well-made, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong! 2. The spot has casual vibes! 3. There are only indoor seatings! 4. The staff was timely with our order but not attentive after they bring the food out! 5. Parking spots are plenty! Note: There is 2% fee for all card transactions, and it seems they really preferred payments and tips in cash! Photo: Com Tam and Vietnamese Iced Coffee

    Com Tam Bui hits different. Their Com Tam is delicious and is easily my go-to Vietnamese rice dish. The rice is cooked to just the right texture. Fluffy yet slightly sticky. A perfect base for the meats/sides you prefer. If you add nuoc cham, it ties it all together, making every bite slap harder than the last. You can fsho leave full and satisfied after dining here. If you're in the area pull up.

    My favorite place for delicious Cơm Tấm. Fish sauce is not salty, and is lightly sweet. Charcoal grilled Sướng Nướng is tasty, chewy. Chả is unique and authentic like in Vietnam. Shredded Pork / Skin (Bì) is fresh, chewy. Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice) is hot and delicious with green onions. The young waiter and waitress are polite, knowledgeable and fast. Place is cold even when it is hot outside. My "Devilpup" Yelp account crashed and disappeared so I have to re-start all of my reviews throughout the years. So sad!

    I love a good Vietnamese place that not only gives you good portions but also great deals. They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
