Delicious food for everyone! Lunch time expect to be waiting like an hour but it's worth it. Be there twice and would like to come back soon. read more

Always happy when I get to eat here. I got introduced this place from my parents and I'm so happy they took me here. It's always hush when you come so expect a bit of a wait. It's not like Yelp waitlist either you need to write your name down and make sure you're waiting around to hear your name called. I'd say for smaller parties of 2-4 wait times can be about 25mins. Food great and pricing is pretty fair. Portions are also good here. I've trieda variety of their dishes and everything's good. Service is pretty good and efficient too. Highly recommend their broken rice dishes - the meat is super flavorful! Bun rieu is huge and pretty good too. My favorite though had to be their egg rolls where they use like vermicelli to fry it I think? It looks super blistered compared to normal egg rolls. I don't know which one it is on the menu since my mom orders in Vietnamese but I'd recommend to just show a photo to the server lol. Highly recommend this spot. Parking in front is bad so try behind the restaurant or street parking. Can still be difficult since it's residential in the back but a little bit of a walk won't hurt. read more

My family has been coming here for what feels like two decades, and it's one of those places that just keeps doing its thing well. Over the years they've really stepped it up too from a nonfuzzy hole in the wall place back in its hay days. You can tell by how busy it is pretty much any time of day. I always go for the broken rice plates. The steamed egg cake still comes with that nice yolk in the middle, and everything is served on big plates and bowls that actually get filled. The portions are generous, and not just for show. The meats are flavorful, and the shredded pork has that slightly dry, fluffy texture that tastes housemade and really satisfying. Service is quick, which I appreciate in this crowded strip mall restaurant. They clearly keep things well prepped in the kitchen, so food and water cups come out fast even when it's packed. It's one of those reliable spots we keep going back to, and with the new bakery opening in the same plaza, it just gives us another reason to stop by. read more

Really solid spot! I know this is more of a rice plate restaurant but the pho and bun rieu were still really good. I do feel we should've stuck with the rice plates and would come back just for that. The star of the show was the Banh Beo...girl let me tell you we were so incredibly full afterwards. Usually the individual dishes are much smaller but these were huge so it was a little difficult to eat. Really delicious! Also the little croissants they give at the beginning is so fun. read more

I met up with a friend here for a late weekday lunch, and it was still pretty busy as we waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. I ordered the tomato bún riêu noodles (without the pork blood), and my friend got a rice plate with shredded pork, pork chop, fish cake, egg cake, and an egg roll. The portions were huge, we both ended up with leftovers. That said, I felt like both dishes were a bit underwhelming in flavor and could've used more seasoning. I still prefer Nha Trang on Valley when it comes to bún riêu. On the plus side, service was quick and friendly, and the menu here is much more extensive, with a variety of fish dishes and desserts. Perhaps their pho or bun noodle dishes will be better. read more

I've had this place many times, and it's usually pretty crowded. I had food delivered this time, and I like that the portions are quite large. The food itself was delicious, and the to-go packaging is excellent. I tried the following items: Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang - So good. It came with a nice bowl of soup, and the dry version had a sweet and savory sauce. There was a large selection of meats, and it ended up being enough for two meals. (4.5/5) Com Tam - A staple here and always worth getting. I got it with baked egg, shredded pork, and grilled beef. The portion of rice was huge and also ended up being two meals. Great value. (4.5/5) I was told the wait would be 30 minutes, and every time I've been here, we've had to wait if we didn't come early. Definitely plan ahead. read more

I heard their broken rice is very popular, so I ordered #30 which came with pork chop, shredded pork, steamed egg and shrimp paste, along with some pickled veggies and side of soup. It was delicious. The rice is a bit dry but I think that's how it is, but when you eat it with the side of soup it comes with its perfect. The rice soaks up the soup very well. Great combo! Or drench it in their fish sauce which was good. Their steamed egg was so flavorful, the best thing on the plate. Next time I'll skip the charred beef, it was on the drier side. I much prefer the pork chop which was surprisingly more softer and juicy. I'd skip #35, just get the #30 combo. I ordered to go, came on a Monday afternoon and it was packed. They are def popular that they are busy on a Monday afternoon. read more

Your go-to spot for affordable vietnamese food in the 626. The portion and value are pretty much unmatched. Everytime I visit this spot, there's always a line. So expect to wait a bit, especially with a bigger party. Stamp of approval from my grandparents too. Charbroiled pork rice plate, 8/10: FAT portion. Comforting. Familiar. No surprises, a dish that always delivers exactly what you want. They don't skimp on the proteins. You can choose to add the vietnamese quiche, pork skin; I'd recommend it. Not many other spots do this, but they add crispy fried pork skin on top of the rice. It also comes with a small bowl of broth that you can chase the rice with. So good. Cha gio, 8.2/10: Tastes homey. I always appreciate spots that use the rice paper instead of the typical egg roll wrapper since it creates a different textural experience. They're plump and filled. A little too greasy sometimes though. read more

Com Tam Kieu - Charbroiled pork rice plate and cha gio (in the back) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Went to Com Tam Kieu in San Gabriel today for lunch and ordered the number 34 com tam bi cha bo nuong tau hu ky which is broken rice with shredded pork, egg with crab, charbroiled beef and bean curd skin. They are known for their broken rice so make sure to order that if you come here. It really comes down to what type foods you like along side your rice as all the plates are customizable. If they have that item you want, you can always ask them to add it on top of your order. The meats have a nice charred taste to it and everything goes well with fish sauce. I like to add chili to my fish sauce for a touch of spice. The plate comes with a couple cucumbers and pickled carrot and daikon. Each rice plate comes with a bowl of soup as well for you to start off. My friends and I ordered the banh beo which are mini rice cakes topped with shredded shrimp and I believe mung bean paste and fish sauce. The rice cakes were soft and loaded with plenty of toppings on top. You add some fish sauce and try to slurp it up in one gulp. My friends and I came on Wednesday at 1:30pm and there was about a 20 minute wait which was odd. They have plenty of tables inside but the parking lot is small. We were able to find street parking and you can always check the back for parking as well. Average price per plate is about $15 which is not too bad as it is a pretty large plate. Service is friendly and food comes out pretty quick after you order. Place accepts card but there is a 3% charge. No charge on debit card but cash is king. read more

Ok ok, I am adding 2 stars to my previous review, making this a 5-star restaurant. Since my last review, this place has revitalized their space, their menu, and their quality. Wow! I love their pho but this place is known for their com tam. Service is good. This place can get super busy and packed. They play top 40 hits, usually have the news playing on mute on the TV, and with a packed restaurant, I didn't find it to be particularly noisy. Parking lot is small but I usually can find parking. Overall, the food is a must! Buying to-go is also good to bring home for an easy dinner. read more

I ordered the bun rieu here and banh beo for takeout. The ambiance of the restaurant looked authentic and cozy. The cashier was quick and it was an easy pickup. The bun rieu was legit, very flavorful and even had tofu & pork's blood in it. I don't usually eat those but needed some iron since I was feeling sick so it did the trick. The banh beo blew me away. It had plenty of tasty toppings like ground shrimp, crispy pork rind, and fried onion. Do I dare say this might be the best banh beo I've had in like the last few years?? Yes! Both the portions were huge. I was able to eat both over two separate meals so it was worth it. Can't wait to go back for more delicious banh beo. read more

Wow, I barely recognized this place! I just visited for the first time since the renovation and menu revamp, and the vibe is completely different. The inside environment is super clean now and looks great with all the neon lighting. A few tips before you go: * The Wait: Even on a weekday, this place is packed. There were huge crowds outside when we left. * Timing: Try to get there between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. If you show up any later, expect at least an hour wait. * Portions: Be warned--every single dish is huge. We came for the beef rib soup and pho. The bowls are massive and loaded with high-quality meat; honestly, my wife and I couldn't even finish one bowl between the two of us! We also noticed the grilled pork, egg rolls, and Banh Beo are super popular. They used to be known mostly for their broken rice, but we were too full to even try it this time. I did manage to fit in the three-color dessert drink, which was a nice treat. Despite how busy it was, the service was solid and the table turnover was fast. This is definitely the spot if you want to explore dishes from all different regions of Vietnam. We'll definitely be back to try more, but we're bringing a bigger appetite next time! read more

I initially intended to eat here but after walking up at 1:15 PM with a long line out the door with a waitlist of at least 30 minutes, I decided to do a take order to go. The food was excellent. The quality was in abundance all for 17.99. It even came with a small soup to go. That's not pictured here. The location isn't very large, but the demand is quite high and I think in that corner in the same lot they're opening another location. Good for them and kudos. The food is excellent! read more

Overall: Food portions are HUGE! Food is delicious and well seasoned. It's always crowded so be prepared to wait a bit at peak times! The Service: Service is very quick and efficient. Despite the restaurant being really crowded, we were seated quickly. They gave us a little bit of time and took our order, then next thing you know, our food is out! Service is no frills, it's not a super fancy restaurant so don't expect fine dining level of service. The Food: My entire group ordered a variation of the broken rice dish with pork chop. Even though the price is about $14 - $18 a plate, the amount of the food they give is crazy. Plenty of meat/protein, with a lot of rice. Two people in my group even shared a plate. We had ordered extra rice too and it felt like they gave us so much rice! We had plenty of leftovers that served as lunch for us the next day. The meat was super flavorful and I loved that they offer the fried shrimp cake with the broken rice (which is my favorite and most places don't serve that!) The cha (steamed pork cake) also comes with a salted egg yolk which was a delight to have as well. In addition, we ordered the fresh spring rolls which was fresh and filled with plenty of protein and veggies. It paired well with the peanut sauce. Price: $14-18 a plate which can be seen as very pricey, but they gave so much food, it was crazy! It was worth every single penny. The Atmosphere: Very busy restaurant with a bright atmosphere. Things move fast here since they are super busy. Parking: Located in a strip mall and parking can be limited if they are super crowded. You may have to park on the street if you're unlucky. read more

Our first time here on a Saturday early evening for dinner and the restaurant was busy with people waiting outside. We even saw a couple of outdoor tables with people enjoying their meals. We didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes for a table for 4. We had recommendations to try the appetizers of steamed rice cakes, broken rice dishes and dry noodles served w/ a side of bone broth soup. The bone broth soup was warming and full of flavor. My husband wasn't a big fan of the steamed rice appetizers but he really liked the dry noodles with grilled chicken and the soup. All of the dishes were very tasty and satisfying. If you have not tried this restaurant yet, it is worth the visit. The price is not like you would find in Vietnam, but the food was delicious & authentic. read more

So yummy! This was the first time I've had Com Tam Kieu and this is a definite come back. My family and I ordered take-out since we usually pass by and notice a long line. It was easy to order! You can just call them and let them know what you want to order. It took about 20ish minutes for our order to be done. They have a small parking lot in front and street parking. The egg rolls are perfectly fried and the filling inside is still juicy. I had the Banh Hoi w/ Beef, Bean Curd, and Eggroll. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I also had a bite of the Bun Rieu and OH WOW was the soup so flavorful. My dad had the red rice w/ cornish hen and the hen was pretty generous in size. We took it back home and I think the hen dried up because my dad mentioned it was dry. read more

Still keeping coming back to this place for com the grill pork is just nicely done and always consistent good flavor.

It gets pretty crowded here during dinner time so if you want to beat that rush, I would try to go here a little earlier! We got seated pretty fast for a party of four but the restaurant was already pretty filled up by 4 pm ish. The food is good and portions are good for the price! So far I've only had their Com Tam dishes, which have all been good. You can't go wrong with any of them. They actually cook broken rice the right way here! Because the portion was pretty big for a couple of us, we had to take our food to go! Always love when we get a second meal from our first meal. We got their banh beo appetizer and their egg roll. Good between 4 people to share. I liked how they added the veggies to your egg roll to eat with the fish sauce. Good crunch and flavor. The banh beo was good too, it was just a little too sticky where it made it hard to grab the whole piece without ruining it x) it was only available for dine-in! I forgot to take a photo sadly :( service was decent, they are quick to grab your order, and are pretty busy running around that sometimes it was hard to wave them down! They're pretty attentive when you're finishing up so they start cleaning up your table as you're boxing your food and paying. This is one of the most authentic Vietnamese cuisines in SGV. Def coming back! read more

Finally tried this place and so glad I did! Went on a Friday night around 8pm. The line looked overwhelming but they were fast and efficient and we got seat I. About 20 minutes even though they did skip us on the waiting list. When let them know they missed us they corrected it immediately and gave us the next table. It's a small parking lot but there is street parking too. Restaurant was clean and dishes floral print. Food was amazing! Broken rice had huge portions and the egg rolls were crispy and thick and tasty. I'll be back read more

I went on Dec 31st and we had decided to do take out. To be honest, the take-out experience was a total MESS. They obviously do not prioritize to-go orders so be prepared to wait. Or maybe, it had something to do with it being new year's eve. It was the first time I did take out from here so I can't really say but we waited almost 30 minutes only for them to forget one of our orders. The only reason why I still gave them five stars though is because the quality and quantity is still fully there. I still enjoyed everything I ate very much. Although I would prefer and suggest to eat in instead of taking it to go! read more

One of the best spots for Vietnamese food in the SGV. My bf ordered togo and we were pleasantly surprised with how generous the portions were..

I found a cockroach inside my soup after already eating some of it. This was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. When I called the restaurant, the first thing they said was "this is not our cockroach" instead of apologizing or taking responsibility. They refused to refund the order and kept trying to avoid responsibility. We ended up throwing the entire meal away because it was clearly contaminated. This is a serious food safety issue, especially since my wife is pregnant. Extremely disappointed with both the hygiene and customer service. I would never order from this place again. read more

I met up with old lunch friends of the past and was told this was the place where they serve you lots of food at a reasonable price especially the pho dishes. The pho Dac biet was plentiful which was gravy in my eyes. The broth was so tasty as soda. I slurped that up at the end. I also got the nem cuon roll which I really enjoyed too especially the peanut sauce it came with. All lovely food items I'll definitely come back for. We got there before the rush of lunch people. I looked outside and a line was forming. They've been at this location for about two years but have a total of three locations in the area. I felt a little crammed in my seat as the aisles were tight and my head was bumped twice while eating. They have parking but in front and back of this strip mall plus plenty of street parking. read more

The portions are generous and definitely worth the price. You get a solid amount of food. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. My Vermicelli Eggrolls came out a little late but it was worth it.

my go to order is the hu tieu mi nam vang which includes two types of noodles (thin egg and chewy clear) that can be ordered dry or soup style. personally i do it dry, bc i love the sauce that pairs with the dry noodles. my hack? pour some of the side soup into the dry noodles to wiggle it looser [this is more for to-go] i really enjoy all the meat cuts on the noodles. also the prawn cracker is fun haha i like soaking it in the soup to get soggy and enjoy. and that pork bone is FO SHO teared downnn. definitely have to get down and dirty to get all the meat and ligaments. it's such a solid and filling dish, so if you want a bang for your buck, try that noodle (dry) soup hehe read more

Dined in for brunch on 11/8/25. Wait: We arrived at like 10:00 am right when they opened. It was packed. After we sat down, the place was full and there was a line. There's no shade area and limited seating outside, but luckily if you park close you can wait in the car. It's been awhile since I've been here but it looks like they changed up the prices on the menu. Parking: plenty in the back if the front is full I ordered the #35 Com Tam Bo Bi Cha Cua Trung Muo. Their Com Tam is pretty delicious! It comes with broken rice with shredded pork, charboiled beef and steamed egg yolk with crab. This dish also comes with soup too. It is pretty filling and tasty when you add the fish sauce. This is definitely the spot if you want some good broken rice, but come early on the weekends. read more
