    Com tam thit nuong
    Natalie T.

    A solid com tam place in the Bay Area! portions, taste, pricing is great here! I got com tam thit nuong, and it comes with a bunch of other proteins and sides. I was very surprised at the large sizing of this plate the picture does not do it justice! I shared this dish with my partner and we were super full afterwards. The fried shrimp cake has a super crispy coating, so crispy it was flakey! It's hard to get this one right, and this restaurant nailed it. The shrimp on the sugarcane was marinated so well so much flavor seeped through this! This is a very classic Vietnamese restaurant, don't expect the interior to be nice. As long as you are getting good food that's all that matters!

    this used to be my family's go to spot 15-20 years ago but for some reason we stopped coming here. i recently came back with my mom and it hit the spottttt. it was delicious and nostalgic and the portion size was massive. i'll always come back to a spot that makes my mom happy :))

    When I first arrived to the parking lot, I was nervous about the location. Lots of people in the parking lot being belligerent. I chose a table where I could watch my car, just for own peace of mind. The location may not be great but the food is fantastic. We came in close to closing and the food still came out piping hot and fresh. The stand out item on the plate for me was an item called Tau Hu Ky. It's a recognizable item within a com tam plate but this was my first time having the tofu skin wrapper taste so delicate and fried so crisp! The shrimp on the inside was very juicy and plump. Overall I was impressed with every item on my plate but the wrapped shrimp was my favorite. There was also a skewer of BBQ shrimp!! I would definitely come back to order another rice plate if I'm in the area! The food quality is well worth it and the portions are massive

    #7 Rice with BBQ Beef Ribs, Fried Shrimp Cake, Shredded Pork Skin, Egg Cake, BBQ Shrimp & Grilled Shrimp Meat on Sugarcane
    Elijah T.

    First time here and I was not disappointed. To start with, let's talk about flavor. Everything in my order tasted amazing, from the richness of the short ribs to the outstanding crunch of the egg cake, paired with pickled onions, carrots and daikon. Good portion size , not to much and not to little . Service was good. With a smile, the man who brought me my food told me to enjoy my dinner. I could tell he genuinely ment it and was proud of serving me that plate. This is a restaurant that sets the tone of your experience with their food alone. I'm definitely going back to try more of their food when I can.

    BE CAREFUL ORDERING HERE. I had ordered the Com Tam Thit Nuong Bị Cha on DoorDash. I took a first bite of the rice and it tasted very off. I said ok maybe it had the smokey flavor from the thit nuong (grilled meat). It wasn't until I mixed up my rice and underneath had this very gray looking liquid, thinking it was maybe the oil from the charred meat, IT WAS GASOLINE!! After I mixed the bottom up you can smell the gas. My meat had a strong gas taste. My sister got grilled shrimp and you can taste the strong gas smell on hers too. I don't know if they used gasoline to replenish their grill to grill stuff but I had to toss the entire thing & submitted photos to DoorDash for a refund. The smell & taste lingered in my mouth for so long!!

    This restaurant is a must visit for your com tam. It's no frills, just good food and good service- everything that is a sign for a classic, well done Vietnamese restaurant. We got a few different dishes of the com tam but my favorite is always com tam thit nuong. They do season it a bit salty so don't throw all your nuoc mam on it before you taste it. The serving sizes are also huge so order knowing you'll probably take some home.

    #7 Com Tam Combinatin
    Brian T.

    Coming back to this restaurant recently was like a time machine back to my childhood. I remember every time I come, I would see the cloud formed from grilling the meat. As we enter, it still had the same interior, for better or worst. The server took a while to came. We ordered the combination plate #7. The meat was cooked fine but could had more of a char taste to it and it felt a bit more on the wet side. The crispy tofu with shrimp was crispy with more meat than I thought, compared to Com Tam Thien Huong The bi had more meat over the fat ratio which was nice. The cha was more on the salty side unfortunately. The sugar cane shrimp tasted just alright as it needed to be cooked a bit more. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I wasn't blown away by it. Overall, it was ok but I am not dying to come back here.

    No frill com tam (broken rice plate). Broken rice is a vietnamese rice plate that uses broken rice (tiny rice) that you usually mix with fish oil (you don't have to but I like it that way). The rice plate typically comes with pork chop, egg cake, shrimp cake etc. This place is inside a strip mall and there really isn't much deco but it's clean and that's good enough. A lot of rice plate places are called Com Tam Thanh but so I can see why this is named such way. I think the pork chop here is bigger than the others but the other stuff such as egg cakes are not as good (but close enough). It's not particularly cheaper than other places but the best part is that this is also not as crowded as the more popular broken rice places. Service is good enough for such simple place. The place is bigger than I expected.

    (#31) Com Tam Bo Nuong - Rice with BBQ Beef and BBQ Shrimp
    Mike L.

    Given the plethora of Vietnamese restaurants in, and around, San Jose, I'm genuinely surprised I had never come across a place like Com Tam Dat Thanh before. Tons of banh mi shops and pho joints are around, yet I'd never seen one before that specializes in broken rice plates. So, just for that reason alone, it's not hard to see why I was so excited to come here! Of course, it's not just that they seem to be the only one - the fact that the Yelp reviews are so positive certainly doesn't hurt either! Pulling into the complex, I was quick to discover that my fellow Yelpers weren't lying - parking here can be tough. Although we were able to snag a spot almost immediately, we saw a few cars having to do a few loops around the lot and/or stalk folks walking to their spaces (the lot emptied out a bit by the time we left, though). As far as the menu goes, it was actually kind of weird to see how it's the reverse of what I'm used to - a ridiculously wide range of rice dishes flanked by just a handful of noodle soups and apps to choose from. In fact, there are so many options, you'll find pretty much every type of meat, and combination thereof, you can think of - BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, BBQ shrimp, BBQ pork, BBQ pork chop, BBQ beef ribs, and so much more. -- (#68) MOT PHAN NEM NUONG - Grilled Pork Rolls...$6.50 I've definitely had better, but this was solid, especially for the money. The pork felt closer to grilled pork than sausage, but I liked how juicy it was and the thickness of the cut. The dipping sauce was just okay, but it also didn't need to be amazing, either. -- (#31) COM TAM BO NUONG, TOM NUONG - Rice with BBQ Beef & BBQ Shrimp...$14.75 Honestly? Underwhelming. In terms of taste, the beef was solid - tender and well seasoned (the lemongrass wasn't overpowering). However, the shrimp had an odd texture for being "BBQ" and, while I get it's partly due to getting two meats, this felt incredibly light on beef (just three small pieces??). -- (#1) COM TAM NEM NUONG, TAU HU KY, BI, CHA, TOM NUONG, CHAO TOM - Rice with Broiled Meatballs, Fried Shrimp Cake, Shredded Pork Skin, Egg Cake, BBQ Shrimp, and Grilled Shrimp Meat on Sugarcane...$22.50 Compared to our other dish, this was ridiculously generous, but each item was hit or miss. The meatballs were rubbery (frozen?), and the BBQ shrimp felt off, but everything else was pretty good. In particular, I loved the fried shrimp cake (so crispy!) and the grilled shrimp meat on the sugarcane (juicy). While the food was mostly decent overall, service here wasn't too shabby either. I know some folks have had less than stellar experiences, but I thought the server (owner?) was nice and our food came out fairly quickly. That being said, and despite how many stars I'm giving, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again. Besides how small one of our dishes was and those disappointing meatballs, none of what we ordered tasted significantly better than what I've had elsewhere. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I lived out this way, but if I'm making the drive down from SF, I'd rather explore one of the many other Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay instead. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded up.

    #2 Com Tam Cơm Thịt Nướng
    Alex L.

    We ordered the #2 - Com Tam Thit Nuong (Rice plate with BBQ Pork, Fried Shrimp Cake, etc.) and #73 - Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (BBQ Pork and Egg Rolls). The sauce and chili is self-serve on the table. I added about half the spoon of chili to my sauce, which gave it a kick. Loved the sauce, nice and savory, slighlty sweet, but not too sweet. The rice plate was delicious, everything was well executed. The pork was slightly on the sweet side, but packed with flavor. It had a nice charred BBQ taste to it. The egg cake was fluffy and had a light taste paired with the sauce was great. The BBQ shrimp was cooked perfect still juicy with a plump texture. The marinated had a sweetness to it and the grill gave it a nice hint of smoky char. The fried Shrimp Cake light and crispy, full of flavor, on the savory side. Grilled Shrimp meat on Sugar was savory. The shredded pork was okay, I could do without it. I didn't try asking for substitute, but next time I would try substituting for BBQ pork instead. It also comes with soup, it was a nice palate cleanser, very strong and savory flavor. The dish did a good job at balancing the sweet and savory flavors. (5 out of 5) The Vermicelli Pork and Egg Roll was also delicious. Same pork was used for the rice dish. The egg roll used a different type of wrapper than the traditional egg roll. It gave it a more light and crispy texture which I liked. The filling was also packed with meat and flavor. Everything was well executed and flavorful. The dishes were on the sweet and savory side. The portion size for the rice plate was massive, I was very stuffed after finishing.

    My friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening. Parking in this plaza is pretty tight. We luckily found parking, but I can see the lot being completely full during busy times. Food: This restaurant has vegetarian versions of many common com tam plates, which was very exciting for me. I ordered the vegetarian com tam combo plate and the vegetarian nem nuong rolls. Both items came with vegetarian sauces made with veggie fish sauce. They were both great. My friends ordered the main combo plate and enjoyed their food. Service: Service was quick. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our food came promptly after ordering. TL;DR - Give me all the vegetarian com tam

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
