Com Tam Dao Vien - Number 7 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Com tam (Vietnamese broken rice) here is pretty good. The portion size is huge and for the price, it's definitely worth it. You can for sure share one dish with another person. I was hungry that day so I basically devoured that shit after the gym. My dish came with two pieces for pork, a side of pork skin, one egg, an egg cake, some veggies and rice. My grandma got the noodle dish with pork and veggies. Each dish does come with soup. The soup has lots of MSG though. The service was quick and our food came out fast and hot. They also have all you can eat here, but I don't think it's worth because one portion can already get you freakin' full, unless you starve yourself for like 4 days of fasting lol. It's a good quick bite spot if you are around town. read more

Good food and huge portions! My husband and I are new to the area and love trying new places to eat, so we decided to check out this AYCE Vietnamese restaurant after seeing their menu on Instagram. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. When we arrived during dinner time, the place was nearly full, which we took as a good sign. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming--like a family-style restaurant. We were seated right away and offered drinks. Since we had already looked at the menu beforehand, we knew what we wanted and placed our order pretty quickly. For the first round, they provide a list of items you can choose from. My husband and I both ordered vermicelli bowls, and we each decided to try an order of all the proteins available. Our food took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was also a busy dinner hour, so it was understandable. When the food finally arrived, we were surprised by how much was served in the first round--the portions were huge! We started getting full pretty quickly. If we came back, I think we would do it a little differently. We'd probably order one vermicelli bowl to share and then order more proteins to really get our money's worth--or even just split a single meal. At $25 per person, it's definitely worth it if you have a big appetite. Otherwise, the portions are still very generous. The flavors were great overall. My favorites were the lemongrass pork chop and the meatloaf with egg. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

Haven't been back here for awhile and was in the area so stopped by for some com tam. Still the same decor, same setup, same menu, same woman work there and same good old tasting com tam. easy parking since simi big parking lot. Oh they do have AYCE at 2 levels; regular ($25) & premium ($28-$30). The foods are still great and tasting. The marinated is quite nice and well cook. Friendly & attentive staff. Spacious and clean place. Ordered (#28 I think) 5 colors or 5 items & hot tea, total with tip is $21. Glad I stopped by. Still just yum! read more

Sooooooo glad that I decided to get a plate of Com Tam today. I got the #33 Combo which has Tofu skin wrapped Shrimp, Pork Chop, Shredded Pork Skin and Steamed Egg Loaf. This is what I usually get with Broken Rice plates. I did not expect this to be one of the best places I've ever been to. I was just blown away by their flavors. Even the Nuoc Cham (fish sauce) was amazing. It's definitely on the spicy side and not overly sweet like most other places. They also include some pickled cabbage which is an excellent palate cleanser. Lastly they give a great clear soup garnished with some fresh green onions. I will repeatedly return to Com Tam Dao Vien. read more

Com Tam Dao Vien - Everything included with #33 Combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Went to this place a while back with my cousin because he is half Vietnamese and we had never heard of an AYCE Vietnamese spot until we heard of this spot. The ordering is pretty simple you just check the boxes on everything you want your platter to have and then they bring it out to you it was honestly so good. I'm a bit familiar with broken rice dishes because sometimes I'll get them when I'm not craving pho but someone I am going out to eat with is. My favorite was the fried shrimp and bean curd patty so crispy and flavorful. A little hard with the language barrier but regardless of that service was still great! I really have been wanting to visit again but just been living the foodie life lately. read more

We decided to go with the all-you-can-eat option for our table of seven, and it was absolutely worth it. One thing to keep in mind: they are very serious about food waste and will charge a penalty if you over-order and don't finish. My advice is to start small and wait for the first round to arrive before ordering more. We ordered six dishes and we should have started it with 5 just to be safe. They give you a chance to order a second round. The portions are incredibly generous. When the platters of meat started coming out, we were honestly shocked at how much food there was and wondered if we could finish it all! Everything was beautifully marinated, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The chicken was especially tender and juicy, and every meat dish that came to the table was impressive. I can't even remember all the names of the items we ordered, but every single one was delicious. In the end, with tax and tip included, it came out to about $34 per person for all-you-can-eat, which felt like a great value for the quality and quantity of food we received. If you come hungry, you definitely won't be disappointed. This is a fantastic spot for a big group and a hearty meal. read more

This place os great! Ayce com tham?? Wow! Tbh, its 25$ and I can only eat one plate, so I didn't make my money's worth! Lol the upgraded menu is 35$. Its definitely not worth it for my family and I bc its really only egg rolls and springrolls and 2 limit korean ribs. It also has bean curd shrimp. The restaurant is pretty small inside, bit many tables, but the service was good. They came by a lot to ask if we needed more meat. I believe they make money with this ayce bc rice and noodles fill you up quickly. I couldn't give this a 5 bc i didnt like the steam egg (quiche) and the nem nuong. Everything else was fantastic. I especially loved making lettuce wraps with my meat and dunking it in my nuc mam. They have thai chili which was fantastic! Most of all ny kids loved it here! The people ate so nice here and the food comes out quick! It was a Friday night too, so that was cool! We will definitely come again. Ayce is all day now so that is a plus! read more

Good food, very authentic. Would recommend omy other friends to try this place as well

This was our first food stop down in Orange County and I got to say, this place didn't disappoint. We came towards closing because that was when we came into town. The place was still pretty lively surprisingly. A lot of people came in for to go order and people ordering their famouse AYCE com tam. We decided to go a la carte this time. Com 5 Mau (8.5/10): The plate, I gotta say, was HUGE. I didn't expect to be that much. The rice was standard and delicious. Between the bo nuong and thit nuong, I liked the thit nuong more. The bo was a bit more dry. However, it was delicious and had a nice char taste to both. There was a good amount of bi in the dish itself. The cha was decent, nothing too special. The tau hu ky was very delicious. It was STUFFED with shrimp in the middle, compared to other places have a lot of air pockets in the middle. The broth that accompany it was better than I thought because it looked clear so I was skeptic. Overall, I love this place and I would come back again. I will be bold and try their AYCE option. read more

The grilled pork (thit nuon) could have used a bit more char on the outside for that deeper caramelized flavor, but I have to say, it wasn't dry at all, which was good. The dipping sauce leaned toward the sweeter side, which might not be for everyone. The broken rice had this slightly different texture than regular jasmine rice, kind of more delicate and almost fluffier in a way. It soaked up all the flavors from everything else on the plate beautifully. Now, the surprise star of the plate was the fried bean curd. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was seriously good, hot and fresh right out of the fryer. That crispy exterior with the soft interior was spot on. The pickled vegetables on the side, provided that essential tangy crunch that cuts through the richness. Honestly, this is comfort food done pretty well. A few tweaks would make it perfect, but I'd definitely come back for this again if craving and in the area. Service was fast and friendly. Split a plate but they provided 2 soups and dipping sauce. Quite Nice! read more

I've passed by this spot many times but hadn't tried it until today, when I stopped by the bakery next door and finally decided to check it out after reading some decent reviews. I ordered a combo with Cơm Tấm Tàu Hũ Ký, Chả, and Gà for $17, plus a Sườn, Bì, Chả combo for $12 to eat at the restaurant, and another Thịt Nướng, Chả, Bì combo to go, also for $12. $12 for a 3 item cơm tấm combo is cheap, but unfortunately, the quality was poor. The meat quality was disappointing. Instead of using real pork chops for the grilled pork, it seemed like they used a cheaper cut. The chả was just okay ,not bad, but nothing special. Overall, the dish was filling, but it lacked the flavor and satisfaction I usually expect from a good cơm tấm plate. The service was friendly, though a bit slow even though it wasn't busy at the time. The restaurant itself is clean, has plenty of seating, and plenty of parking spaces around! read more

AS you may or may not know i do not give out 5 stars often. But this place truly deserves the accolades. From the bright and clean interior to the friendly staff it just adds to the amazing rice dishes they serve here. That's if you're in the mood for rice, if not they have a variety of cold vermicelli dishes to suit your palette. With an extensive menu that they have is easy to precook some of the proteins, but this place brings the grilled meats out hot instead of it being a little warmer than room temperature. Portions are plentiful as my daughter couldn't finish her vermicelli bowl and has to bring it home. I loved every bite of my rice plate. This place is worth it and prices are reasonable in this day and age. read more

This establishment is widely regarded as the finest broken rice restaurant in Little Saigon. The flavors are consistently excellent, and the charcoal-grilled meats are a particular highlight, offering a delightful aroma and taste. Despite the restaurant often being quite busy, the service remains pleasant and accommodating. It embodies the characteristics of a typical Asian restaurant, and a visit to sample their cuisine is highly recommended. The portion sizes are notably generous, offering substantial value, and the pricing is very reasonable with a wide array of choices. They also offer some comforting, family-style dishes. read more

Good com tam with decent portion sizes for the price you pay! They have an AYCE option but I think it's hard to get your moneys worth unless you have a large appetite. Service was standard and quick. They tend to get pretty busy on the weekends too. Had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday for lunch. read more

I'm a sucker for vermicelli and this place did not disappoint. The beef was so tender and juicy and the leaf rolled beef is chefs kiss, so dang good. Also their coffee is strooong.

I went here for the AYCE menu this weekend and I must say it is pretty good! The hours for the AYCE are 5-8 however I heard they recently got updated to 3-8. The food is very good and if you have never had com tam I think the food here would be a pretty good introduction to it. The service of the restaurant is quite good as well and they are very quick to refill waters and check up on you. We were seated very quickly and they were quick to show us the menu and the AYCE option The ambiance of the restaurant is nice as well. When we went(dinner on weekend) there was plenty of seating and it was clean. Parking is also okay to find as well. Overall, I would recommend going here! The price of $20 for AYCE is amazing and the food quality is definitely worth the price! read more

I was told by a local garden grove native to always go for the under 4 star yelp locations for great food and this place definitely delivered. We didn't try to all you can eat at all, but we were definitely filled up by these two lunch portions. We arrived on Saturday around 12PM and it was a full house. There was only one party waiting so it took around 10 minutes to be seated. Drinks: We also ordered two drinks pennywort: 3/5 salted plum juice w/ ice: 2/5 Food: banh hoi bo la lot w/ grilled chicken: 5/5 portion is very generous for $22. basically can feed two people. chicken is velveted perfectly and it's not too sweet. bean curd shrimp, pork skin, steamed egg, and grilled pork chop on rice special: 4/5 for $17.50, it doesn't scream a crazy deal compared to other places in the area, but it honestly hits the spot I think it's hard to get broken rice wrong in this area. I don't think it's the best price for quality/ quantity, but it definitely hits the spot. The drinks were kind of a let down though. I think this place is probably better for the AYCE option that I saw a handful of people eat while I was there. I will continue my journey for the best broken rice in the area, but this is a solid spot to come try. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem. We went here for their AYCE option. At the time, it was $19.99 for the regular and $25.99 for upgraded. They just recently updated their pricing to $24.99 for regular and $34.99 for upgraded. We really enjoyed the portion sizes and how much food they gave us for the AYCE. The selection is not bad for what you get. As long as you like the options, the AYCE is completely worth it. We definitely enjoyed the broken rice, vermicelli, rolled up beef, and egg rolls. The service was not bad. Sometimes very attentive and sometimes not. The parking is limited here. There's lots of families and friend groups that go here. And As Always, NOM 4 LIFE! read more

WARNING: AYCE IS ONLY 5-8PM EVERYDAY Wow, the kitchen is very slow here. I expected as much from the other reviews, but didn't expect our food to take a whole 30 minutes to come out. The flavors were good and they have a very good amount of patrons of mostly Vietnamese people and a small amount of other ethnicities, so they cater to many palettes. We expected to get AYCE because nowhere did it say there was a specific time for AYCE online. The bean curd shrimp has lots of pepper, and the grilled chicken was actually pretty good. No complaints other than unclear AYCE and an extremely slow kitchen. read more

Went for brother's birthday. This Vietnamese restaurant is located on Westminster and Newland...next to 7-11 so parking is limited during peak hours. This place is known for a variety of rice dishes but they do have dry/reguñar vermicelli along with appetizers and such. Soda is fountain I believe They have $11.99 specials that's portray on its TV so ask your server about it. There's also a deal: buy 5 specials and get 1 free. Got the com suong ni bi cha (rice with bone-in pork with shredded beef). All rice dishes are garnish with pickled veggies and served with soup. Very good. Overall, highly recommend if you are looking for something tasty and affordable. read more

This little shop in a small strip mall where parking can be tight had very little people eating on a Sunday afternoon. There is a bit of a language barrier but it wasn't a problem. Service was good. Only thing to note is they will stand around at the end. You either ask for a bill or get up and pay at the cashier. I was going to get the all you can eat broken rice menu which is actually what I came for but realized I wasn't hungry enough and my teen was not going to eat anything but the beef. I ordered #28 Five- color rice (bean curd shrimp, chicken, pork, beef, pork skin, steamed egg on rice) I honestly don't know if I got that. The bean curd Shrimp was very good. It was crispy on the outside. The pork and beef were flat. They were good but chewy on certain parts. I don't know what happened to the chicken or the steam egg. They dump everything on top so it might have been there. Overall it was very good. read more

I was initially hooked on this spot after a family member introduced me to it. For a while, I came alone and was consistently treated like a king. The food is phenomenal; huge portions of delicious, comforting, home-style cooking. My usual order is the massive rice plate: grilled beef ribs, chicken, fried shrimp cake, mixed veggies, and a side of soup. It's a huge plate, and I always loved it! Everything changed when I came in for a simple to-go order. I ordered at the counter, and the cashier (who spoke a little English, assisted by his manager) took my order. Out of habit, I sat at my favorite table to wait. That's when a staff member told me to move to the designated waiting area. I was surprised she didn't recognize me as a frequent diner she had personally served at that very table. Then, after she brought my order to the new table, she demanded to see my receipt. I showed her, and she proceeded to give me a dirty look before walking to the cashier to confirm I had actually paid and was the correct person. This level of suspicion and disrespect from someone who should know me is appalling customer service. The food earns 5 stars, but the service disaster brings my overall rating down to 2 stars. I stopped coming here immediately and am now looking for a new Cơm Tấm spot. read more

One of the better tofu shrimp cakes in the Orange County area. Their tau hu ky has chunks of shrimp in it. Negatives -ambiance: the place is a little dirty. The restroom is locked to patrons due to homelessness in area.... -service: standard minimal and quick. Positives -food/options: I believe this is the only com tam place in OC that offers AYCE com tam (Vietnamese broken rice). The food portions are good for the normal menu and taste is flavorful. The meat is tender and has authentic Vietnamese sweet/savory seasonings. -value: definitely great value 19.99 for standard AYCE and 24.99 for premium AYCE....that's basically the price of most California restaurants now for half the portion and half the flavor...... Overall 5/5 Came here for my mother in law's Mother's Day. She enjoyed it even though she's a very difficult person to please..... read more

Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall restaurant with plenty of parking and friendly staff from social media. What caught my eye was their AYCE option, however it seemed a bit too expensive for the selection they were offering for AYCE broken rice option. Instead, my family and I opted for their a la carte broken rice, egg rolls, and spring rolls entrees. The broken rice was quite flavorful and good, but the steamed egg was a bit too dry and the grilled beef was too fatty to my liking. The real stars of the meal were certainly their egg rolls and spring rolls. Both were very abundant with filling and flavor. Pretty decent spot for some vietnamese food such as broken rice, egg rolls, and spring rolls. This place definitely worth a try for the price and amount of food you get. However, there are certainly other much better spots in OC. read more

I've been here a couple of times already but I should write a review about them because they are really one of the cooler spots I've been to down here in SoCal! Location/Atmosphere: 4/5 The location for this restaurant is right off the street of Westminster Blvd in a small strip area filled with other Vietnamese restaurants. On the outside are a couple of chairs for waiting to eat along with signs of their food options plastered on the windows. On the inside is a standard Vietnamese restaurant with long black tables and a holder for soup spoons, forks, sauces, and napkins. Service/Price: 4/5 The service here is good! All of the times I've gone here, it hasn't been busy so I got seated rather quickly and had my order taken. They have a small piece of paper for their AYCE that you order from that gives you two rounds to eat. The first time I came here with friends, we almost overordered but since I've come back a few times, I've learned my lesson and kept to being more modest with the portions because as I will state later, they are BIG. They raised the prices from last time I went ($20 to $25 for their first option and $25 to $35 for their second option) so heed that if you expect the original prices but I think it's still a great deal. Food: 5/5 So, this place is known for their broken rice plates and I actually came here right before they started doing AYCE com tam. The rice plates were some of my favorite out of the OC area. The rice was really good and the meat had a great char to it, nice and smoky from the back where they cooked it. When they started doing AYCE, I took the chance to try out some of their other meats. The sausage is AMAZING as it is nice and crisp with a good bite, the beef is charred well and cooked with a good marinade, and the porkchop was nice and fatty with lots of flavor. I usually do the first round with a vermicelli and the second round with a broken rice because I need to get my veggies in but their vermicelli and veggies is AMAZING. They put a lot of basil and mint in the vermicelli bowl along with lettuce, pickled daikon and carrot, and bean sprouts. It help cut away a lot of the greasy meat and refresh the palate. Overall: 4/5 I've been coming to this place for nearly a year but I have no real issues with it. Despite the price raising of the AYCE, I think that the quality of the food and the portion size to be really good and I am excited to come back again in the future! read more

Com Tam Dao Vien - Second round of AYCE com tam with rice and a salad. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Came here for lunch on a random weekday. Place is crowded. Prompt, curt service as expected at any Vietnamese restaurant -- if they don't throw the menus at me I'd call it a good day. Egg rolls were crispy and filled with meat. Our broken rice dishes were very filling and piled on with proteins... now, how high quality are those proteins I can't vouch for, but I guess you can't expect grade A meats paying grade C prices. Not sure if we'll come back as there are many other com tam places in the area for us to try, but it was a good experience overall. read more

Nice staff, lots of parking and no wait on a Wednesday night. Food came out quickly but grilled perfectly. Scissors were a little dirty so I wouldn't recommend using them. AYCE was order as much as you wanted in two rounds but we ordered so much the first round that we didn't go for a second. Definitely don't underestimate the portion sizes as the bowl of noodles/vegetables was very large and the meat was filling. We went with the original $20 as the extra $5 options didn't seem worth it. We definitely ate our money's worth and it was fairly crowded by dinner time. Would recommend for any big eaters looking for a good affordable time. read more

My son recommended this place cause he loves broken rice. The didn't noticed it until I decided to give to a try. I walked in a greeted by the only male server he's very friendly. He asked if it's our first time and he showed us how to use the tablet to order. I like that so we don't feel rushed. Menu on tablet was simple you choose any items up to 4 and it comes with broken rice for as little as $15. That's a good deal not only that everything was so good. Thịt nướng was very thin juicy! Pork chops same very favorable. Shrimp was plump and juicy but Chinese sausage I would like it more crispy but it's still good. I recommend this place it's very clean inside also restrooms too. Not too noisy there they got tv to watch clips from Vietnam also. I went there again last week! It's a great place! read more
