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

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

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

You get what you pay for. It's super small and tight seating, which my thick booty had a difficult time with. Your neighbors will be staring at you.

Com Tam Dao Vien - #31 with grilled pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Went here yesterday I will not lie when I saw the Ayce I was a little skeptical about the idea that it was only two rounds from the paper I went with a party of four and thought the pork chops would be the small American size at the grocery store but boy I was wrong. Not only did the food taste great I remember someone else writing that the chili alittle goes along way and they were not wrong if you are sensitive to spice but very little or non at all. The service was the only downfall of this experience it was very hard to get a server before ordering the food. And if you do go with a big party make sure to right the numbers in the box not check it off that was the mistake that I made. The inside was very spacious but for the amount of food we ordered unfortunately table space was not lol. I would definitely come again!!!! We did opt in for the 25.99 upgraded ayce read more

The food is amazing, all their meats taste fresh and this is one of the rare Vietnamese restaurants that actually goes around and refills your water without having to hunt down for a waiter or waitress. If you can eat a lot the AYCE option is worth it, not only are the protein options are the same as their regular menu but it seems like you have an unlimited timeframe to finish it. You only get two rounds of food but if you were to order everything on the menu, one round is more than enough, and you can pretty much sit there for hours which I saw a couple tables do. My only complaint was that it did take quite awhile for my food to come out, but in a way it was worth it. read more

Com Tam Dao Vien - Egg rolls, short rib, shrimp, eggs, steamed egg, bean curd shrimp, beef rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

One of the best spots for Com Tam in OC. The rice and meat are always on point, the pork chop is always freshly grilled when ordered. I especially love their "tau hu ky" which is shrimp paste wrapped in tofu sheet, always juicy and a bit chewy on the inside, but crispy on the outside. Their portion is also generous so I can always share with one of my little one. Service overall is good compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. The place is kinda outdated and can be improved. It can get busy during lunch and dinner hours but i don't think they take reservations. Also, they have the deal buy 5 get 1 free from time to time, be sure to ask :) My kids are kinda picky eaters but they ask to eat here often, that must tell ya something ;) read more

Still salivating over this meal, truly First time trying bánh hỏi thịt nướng and rolling it up spring roll-style. I felt accomplished, haha. Crunchy greens, pickled carrot and daikon, flavorful grilled meats, vermicelli bundles, all wrapped in rice paper. SO fun to make and unbelievably tasty. I'll def be back! Also got into their Cơm Tấm (broken rice), which is their specialty and namesake. Tons of combos to choose from, and looking around it was what everyone ordered. This little hole-in-the-wall in Westminster delivers. read more

I saw all the instagram going around showing all you can eat broken rice for $19.99. I love broken rice so few of my friends and I decided we'll go for lunch, the place was a little busy but we got seated right away. We opted for the $25.99 ayce which included short ribs only 2 orders per person and fried egg rolls and betal beef rolls and fried shrimp curd. I think if you get the $19.99 that's fine that includes chicken, pork, pork chop and sliced beef and chicken curd. The beef ribs were good and so was the betel beef rolls those were my favorite things. Then the sliced beef and Vietnamese steamed egg. The egg rolls were ok a bit greasy as well as the fried shrimp curd, maybe I had to ask but I could have used lettuce and some radish and daikon to wrap the egg rolls in. Here was the problem I had and why only 3 stars, we literally waited 30 min for our food to come out as we watched all other people who got there latter get their plate of food before we got ours. I honestly don't recommend getting the ayce, everyone inside eating was Vietnamese and I guess no one really gets that unless your non Vietnamese, they mainly just ordered the broken rice plates which was $19 and the pates were huge and they came out fast. When you sit down unless you ask for the ayce they don't give you the menu. Another person sat right by us and we were talking it was his first time also and he was getting the same thing we got ayce and his food took forever also. The way they do it whatever you order they bring all your food at same time so it takes a while. If you decide to get the ayce best to order a large order at once, I don't know if you can order beyond 2 set of orders the menu paper only had 2 columns but it says ayce so I'm assuming they have to let you order more if needed. It wasn't necessary for use 2 sets of order was more then enough. For 3 the bill was about $93 before tip since we ordered the $25.99 ayce. I honestly feel it's better not to get the ayce and just get a plate of beef or shortrib plate. Which comes with egg, shrimp curd rice and your main meat about $19. I don't recommend the ayce. I wouldn't get it again. Just took too long between orders. And a plate would have been more than enough food vs Ayce and cheaper. read more

It started getting busier as we were eating. //ENVIRONMENT// It's a very casual spot! It's very clean and feels like a homey Vietnamese spot //FOOD// Beef short ribs and pork chop rice dish: so good and so moist! The flavors really hit the spot here and was amazing! The beef rib was unique and don't see that often Banh Hỏi with betel leaf beer and Tau Hu Kỳ or fried bean curd: amazing! This is a must! The tau Hu kỳ was crispy and you can really taste the shrimp. The betel leaf with grilled beef was so savory and moist Egg rolls: made with rice paper and the Meat was amazing! //SERVICE// I feel like everyone was just so friendly and so smiley lol!

Com Tam Dao Vien - Bun and com tam - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

If you just come here for regular Vietnamese food then it should be fine, but if you come here for AYCE then this place doesn't deserve your service. I've been here twice and each experience still leave me questions regarding their business practice. I got an ad on Instagram from a bunch of food influencers telling people to come here and try all you can eat cơm tấm blah blah blah. Then I found out later they changed their AYCE hours only from 5-8 PM. I didn't understand why maybe because the lack of customers, but no, I get their and found out for myself. First time I came with a party of four, the server was nice trying to tell us to limit our orders so we don't waste food, but they couldn't fit us to a bigger table, we were struggling with so many plates on the table, I didn't enjoy it because I wasn't fully comfortable, so even though they limited us on Korean galbi and giant prawns, we were still full, of course watching those videos on Instagram they won't tell you that catch. Being unsatisfied, I came back again the following week, also to give them another chance to serve me better, again disappointed. The sign literally said "AYCE from 5-8 PM, last call at 8 PM", but do not assume anything, this place made up their own rules, they were so stingy they gave you one piece of paper to order your food, on that paper will said 1st round and 2nd round, and that was it, if you're still hungry after then don't expect their service, they will give you attitude when they bring your food on the 3rd round. They told me they expected people to finished in 2 rounds and no more, but nothing written or evidence of that rules. At this point I already lost my appetite, I will not come back to a place who gave false advertisement about all you can eat, or practice their business trying to dictate or control customers like this, you're doing everything to save cost and leave customers unhappy with your reputation. That is not all you can eat cơm tấm, you just basically paid $25 plus taxes for an entrée of cơm tấm, then add some toppings, not worth it, not limited Go eat unlimited galbi at any ayce K Bbq if you're into that. PS: they also made up rules about dining in for 90 mins limit, like some kind of premium Japanese wagyu place, so keep an eye out for the time, because they just blatantly rude to ask you to stop order and leave. Once then twice, now bye read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 I was in the area craving com tam. Normally, I go to the highly rated spots, but a friend recommended this place, saying it's authentic and a great value, so I decided to give it a try. I had to sign in and wait about 10 to 15 minutes since it was full, which is always a good sign. Once seated, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered their house special com tam, and it did not disappoint. They were generous with the meat, though there were fewer fried items compared to my usual com tam spot but I actually prefer it this way. They also offer an all you can eat option, but for me, the portion and value of the regular meal were more than enough. This is now my go to com tam spot in the area. read more

Finally made the trip after reading all the reviews and seeing this place pop up on my IG feed. Ordered to go: Egg Rolls - 5/5 These are delicious, super crispy and come with all the veggie fixings!

I had high expectations of the Tau Hu Ky based on reviews but I thought it was just ok. I plan to return to try the AYCE!

One of my favorite broken rice places in the OC. This place is way less greasy than most of the other broken rice places and more of the items you see in my photos are morw fresh made. I especially love that they have banh hoi (rice vermicelli bundles) and hot pot here. I love getting the rice 5 colors (com tam 5 mau), it has everything I like, sometimes I add a sunny side up egg depending how hungry I am. The meats here are so tasty and easy to chew! (I have braces). Servers are quick to take your order upon arrival and very attentive. Also great for big groups! Recommend!! read more

My family and I have been going here for years and have experimented with other places, but we always come back to this one since it's the best. This place is more of a hole in the wall and known by locals. My favorite combination is Com Suon Bo Dai Han, Tau Hu Ky, Bi, and Cha. The portions are big and can even be split between two people. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Plus the workers are very fast and efficient. They do phone pick up orders, I recommend this if you're looking for a quick to go spot. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Solid rice plate restaurant! We all decided to order an entree and opted out of the Ayce. The servers were quick with our orders. They were able to accommodate our party of 9. When we finished putting in our order, we shortly got greeted with ice cold water and a side soup. The seafood tofu was crispy and had a good flavor. The short rib was on the chewy side. Not the same as Korean short rib. I enjoyed the pickled veggies. It went well with the broken rice and meat. The dish was very filling. Well rounded comfort meal! read more

Food is really good. Nice portions nice staff. There was one male server who was grossing me out. And he seemed to be the lazier one out of the two.

Don't let the appearance fool you. This is a good restaurant with delicious food. I love the cơm tấm/broken rice, especially with pork! (The BBQ rib pork or pork chop would both be good.) The wait to get a table on a weekend afternoon is a tad on the LONG side. To pass the time, take the kids to 7-Eleven next door for a frozen drink. Once you're inside, order as quick as possible. The food is gonna take a while but it's worth it! It's an exercise in patience and delayed gratification. read more

This place has adequate parking and their prices are decent. I'd say their service is a bit wishy washy since sometimes they were a bit slow with things. Com Suon Cha, Tau hu ky, bi (pork chop, egg quiche, shrimp cake, and shredded pork) - the pork chop was pretty dry without alot of fat (i prefer the fatty parts). The egg quiche and the shrimp cake were amazing. The shredded pork combined with the rice is great. Their nuoc mam with a little dash of chili paste (it's super spicy, don't use alot. More spicy than red rooster). They give a complimentary soup which tastes a lot better than most com tam places. Although com tam is such a classic, this place is just okay. It's not mind blowing and the pork chop could use work. If it was juicier, this place would really be my go to spot. read more
