    We went here to get some authentic Vietnamese food, com tam, aka broken rice. We also tried the dry noodle, which has such a delicious, clear broth on the side. The portion was huge! And they gave free croissants/bread for the table: We waited for about 30-40 minutes before getting seated. Parking is available in the same plaza.

    The food here is bomb. There's a reason why they get so much traffic in and out of the restaurant: great value and great taste! They're getting big enough that they are expanding next door in the same plaza, stay tuned for that one! I tried their pork plate along with the Cornish Hen. I don't recommend the Cornish Hen, it was super dry and took way too long to make. The other dishes are good as well as the sides. Each side is good enough on its own, but the balance of freshness and clean (feels healthy but oh so tasty ). Would keep coming here, just avoid the Cornish Hen! Maybe will try again if they change the recipe or something. Order almost an hour in advance if you are doing take out, they will prioritize customers eating in the restaurant (makes sense), so during peak meal times, be ready to wait and plan ahead!

    Just wanted to share the good news with Yelpers that Com Tam Kieu will be adding a second location within the same shopping center (suite 105). It's the corner unit where the Indian Bar used to be. If you've eaten or even driven by here, you'll know that business is good as they always have people waiting outside. This is because they have authentic food, fair prices and large portions!!!

    Got the noodle soup with the tofuskin and shrimp paste. Server asked if i wanted it dry and i was dumb and said wet. Then bf said she meant soup. The hu tieu dry version was yuummy. I prefer that broth over the one i had, but im not sure if it was my egg noodle that made it different. The portions are huge and if you go before 12 there was a long line but it probably only took about 30 minutes still. The com tam comes to you in a tray. Ive seen people sharing it. They have a parking lot but if its packed you can park on the street.

    Visited here for dinner on a Thursday evening. They were busy even on a weekday with a wait list. Thankfully the wait was only about 10-15 min before we got seated. Staff was very efficient and quick in serving us. It was packed inside! I ordered the #37 as usual which is the charbroiled chicken, shredded pork, steamed egg, bean curd skin, and broken rice. Portion is still quite big for the price at $14.99 but the chicken is noticeably smaller. I was still very full and had leftovers. The complimentary bread and soup are still a very nice touch.

    Best com tam in the SGV area! I've only tried their com tam and none of their menu items even though there are a lot of options like pho, hu tieu, banh hoi, etc Every time I want to try something else, the com tam looks so good and almost everyone orders com tam at the restaurant. Pros: -food is plentiful and delicious -egg quiche is with a salted egg -take out orders come in a nice fabric blue bag -quick on take out orders -takes cc -on DoorDash but prices are higher Cons: -because it's so delicious, parking in the lot in front or back or street is packed! And a looong wait to dine in during rush hour

    First time trying this place in lieu of pho 79 while visiting socal and this place did NOT dissappoint! Ordered their pho dac biet on this hot day (which was a big mistake) but honestly worth it. The portion size was literally a double pho portion! Abundance of noodles, steak was excellent, broth was delicious etc etc the pho is good we get it. The fascinating thing is that the servers cut straight to the chase. No hello, greetings of any sort, they approach with their notebook, you tell them what you want, then bring you food, thats it. It also helps with how the restraunt moves too because they are so flooded with customers. Inside was slightly crowded but hey, that means youre at the right place!

    I remembered coming here with my mom when I was a kid and am kind of amazed that it has survived and thrived all these years later. Since this is still one of my mom's favorite casual restaurants (says a lot since she's a tough customer), I decided to make two consecutive visits on a Friday morning right when they open at 10 a.m. They already had a good amount of people dining in, and they turnover the tables quickly. I got their Bun Rieu (no pork blood & half vermicelli) and a single egg roll my first time back and it was the biggest bowl I've ever been served. It was delicious and they do not skimp on the protein. I love how they gave me a boatload of proper Vietnamese veggies/herbs and fermented shrimp paste alongside it. Most Vietnamese restaurants nowadays serve bastardized versions of a veggie/herb plate with their soup noodles to appease a devolved palette. Second time I was here, I got their dry combination egg & tapioca soy sauce noodles with the soup on the side and an order of a single egg roll. Man, do I miss this dish especially when it is served authentically. The bowl came with shrimps, thinly sliced pork, ground pork, a fried shrimp crisp, & quail eggs. But the flavor bomb comes from bits of fried shrimp, bacon fat, & shallots. Pro tip: balance the sweetness of the soy sauce noodles with the pickled jalapeños within their condiment array. The bowl of soup that this comes with is a whole other meal with a giant pork bone (how it is traditionally served) and a bunch of fish cake in it. This was my ratatouille moment when I transported back to my childhood. I can't wait to come back and work through their menu.

    Came back again for dinner on a weekday and there was surprisingly still a wait but luckily not for too long. I ordered the same thing as last time but looks like the portion is smaller, less meat than before. The taste is still good but sad the portion shrunk for the similar price. Still a great broken rice spot though!

    This is a favorite com tam restaurant of someone in our group. We went on Thursday evening and met up for an early dinner before this place got too busy for our group of 8. There is a small parking lot behind and in front of the restaurant but there are plenty of free street parking if all the spaces are taken. Orders were taken and we were given a small basket of little buttery croissants too enjoy while we waited for our food to arrive. Portions are large. They are known for their broken rice (com tam) so that was what I had ordered. It arrived on a platter! The pork chop was juicy and tender. Everything was good. None of the ingredients were dry or bland. I will have to come back to try the noodle soups next time. Those portions were huge and the soups were full of meats and greens. It was another hit with our group too.

    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.

    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.

    This small family run Pho place exceeded my expectations! Here staying at the Sheraton next door…read moreand was craving for Pho and decided to try this place as it was literally a 3 minute walk from the hotel. The first thing that caught my attention was that they had a limited menu for a Pho place which tells me that these are the best dishes that they make at home that they want their customers to try! So I saw that they had Pho Ga so I had to try it. OMG!! It was so delish, the broth was well seasoned and balanced, great amount of chicken and they had this side condiment of ginger, fish sauce, lime dipping sauce that just added so much depth and umami Either you can pour this dipping sauce to your Pho or what I did was dipped my chicken and slurpped it down with my noodles and broth and it was BOMB!! Then they have crab meat egg roll which was also very good but could have added just a tinge of saltiness to just make it a home run!! Service was quick, few tables inside and will definitely come back here again and try the other Bun Bo Hue and hainan chicken. So if you're around SGV, this is a must try Pho place!!

The broth is perfectly seasoned and really ties the whole bowl together. I always ask to skip the blood cubes and opt for extra pig's feet instead, which they handle perfectly. The ratio of tender meat to fresh vegetables balances the noodles beautifully, and the satay is an absolute must-add to hit that savory umami flavor profile. All in all, I have no complaints. It's an incredibly satisfying meal, especially after a long night out with friends.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean.

So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

We had three people and realistically, that's way too much food. We ended up taking one of the noodle dishes to go and half orders of the spring rolls and banh beo to go as well. However, all very tasty, not too oily which is great! And overall pretty decent lunch. Only downside is the line and to be honest, I would not stand in line for this restaurant but my aunt really wanted to come here for the bun mam. Which also ironically she didn't even get to eat it this time around because they only offer it on Saturdays and Sundays. FYI - Go to the other location on Garvey if you want bun mam.
