This Com Tam Thanh is located in the Stevenson Station plaza. There is plenty of parking in the lot, as this is a quieter plaza, even though this is a busy area. This is big spacious restaurant that looks pretty elegant and nice inside, but it never seems that busy, so they do not utilize all the space. Service is eh, especially from the male employee, as I have to clarify my order like 3 times with my friend having to jump in to repeat it after my 3rd time repeating my order, so it was pretty frustrating. Food also comes out pretty slow, even though it is nearly empty every time I stop by, as well as when I order ahead of time for to go. I ordered my usual from here - their Com Tam Dac Biet (I substitute the broken rice for vermicelli instead). It comes with shredded pork, steam pork cake, shrimp cake, and my choice of meat - I always choose pork chop. I do not know why, but I feel like the portions, especially for the pork chop and shredded pork gets smaller every time. On my last visit, my food was pretty bland and dry, even after mixing all the fish sauce in it. I hope both the quality and quantity improves and stays consistent for next time, if I am back. read more

Growing up in SJ, I was spoiled with endless Vietnamese food options. Since moving to Fremont, this has become my go- to spot for Vietnamese in the Fremont/Newark area. I've tried almost everything on the menu but highly recommend the com tam (rice plates) and bun thit nuong. The bun bo hue is not bad either. Bonus: they open early at 8am and have buy 3 get 1 promos for pho and sandwiches. read more

Only spot out here that opens at 8am. Broth nice and hot. Service is quick and kind. I only crave pho in morning and I finally found a great spot. read more

Driven past this place literally my whole life and just now decided to stop in... what was I even doing all these years?! The pho here is phenomenal -- rich, flavorful broth, super fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked noodles. The takeout service was amazing -- quick, friendly, and everything packed perfectly. Plus, nice easy parking, which is always a win. One bite in and I was already mad at myself for not coming sooner. read more

A very spacious restaurant, but they only use half. buy 3 get 1 free. Friendly service, quick. As a local resident I come here every now and then for a simple dinner. read more

Pho broth is good. I'll likely continue to come back for the broth. I'm glad that they've updated the noodles and reduced the amount of noodles to match the portion of the soup given. Prior, there were more noodles and less soup to cover. Although it would have been better to increase the soup portion and keep the noodle portion, considering that price has gone up to a whopping $18 per bowl. But I do understand inflation and I get it. I do appreciate that theyare listening to their customers in a sense to accomodate the concerns. read more

The old Asian man had terrible service and acted like the credit card signature and holding the food behind. The table was also employee to not pay him. It was all just a very cheap and awkward experience. Terrible service would not recommend it. read more

This is one of my go to places in Newark Fremont area. Whenever I'm in town I eat here. Food is always good, never crowded and good service. Came in 2 days in a row for dinner. Day 1 had pork barn mi and fresh spring rolls, day 2 had the spring rolls again and a bowl of beef pho. Spring rolls are really good here and I get every time. Peanut sauce is different, it's thinner than most and served warm. Still good Hahn me was really good. Was worried bread might not be so fresh but was really fresh and very tasty. Sandwich was really full and filled me up Pho was good. Got rare steak and was full of meat. Very tasty broth and really did the trick. Service always friendly Can't wait to be back read more

Had lunch here with my family when we had a quick road trip to San Francisco. It is near the place where we stayed. Glad we dropped by this place! We were attended to by Hi (the name of the Cashier, maybe the owner?) We love Pho. So we ordered 2 with beef and sping and egg rolls. The serving was big for the pho! The place is big and clean and price is reasonable since the serving is big. Food was flavorful and delish! read more

We went on a week day as the service was very quick and friendly. We seated immediately with water. We knew we were walking into a hidden gem when we passed the karaoke stage. We got a chicken pho #16, #30 bun thit heo nuong (vermicelli bowl) and #1 spring roll. I'd like to start off by saying I've gone to many pho restaurants but have never had pho with chicken that isnt dry. The chicken in this pho was so moist and juicy it felt like it was straight off the rotisserie and they were definitely not greedy with how much was put in. Broth was great too! The vermicelli bowl was very flavorful with the meat and the sauce really brings a lot to the dish. Our comment was that the peanut sauce from the spring rolls did not have a strong peanut flavor. Other than that we loved this restaurant. read more

We came here with 4 adults and 2 Kids, ordered 2 large size combinations pho, 2 Vietnamese noodle bowls, 1 appetizer and 4 drinks. The mean shows all food was under $16 - 22. Drinks $7. It wasn't cheap, they hides the large size prize. We thought we shared food should about $120. We ended up with $190 with the tax and 6 people 18% gratitude....service was bad, give each wrong order to the wrong person.not worth coming again. The only good thing they were open late. read more

Came here for the first time with my family on a late night craving some warm pho. We definitely got a great fix and on a deal! They were offer a buy 3 get one 1 pho soup for free on that day (10/28/22). Pro: we were seated right away and the service was friendly. We were offered water as soon as we sat down and the food came out nice and hot. The pho tai was delicious and I appreciate that they handed each of us our own plate of condiments [bean sprouts, basil, lime, ect] Cons: The egg rolls were smaller than we'd hope and we were hoping for a little more of an equal ratio for the meat to noodles. read more

I never get tired of coming here in the past 15-20 years. Same old same old. First time revisiting since year 2020. They serve good Vietnamese noodle bowls, vermicelli plates, and rice plates here. Well maintained and clean inside with good fans up in ceilings. Portions are extremely generous and seats/tables are very comfortable. Spacious seatings available in the larger dining area. Staffs are the older crowds who keep working hard serving its local and new customers everyday. Lady speaks good enough English. Older man is getting old. Overall, good service and delicious meals. You can do self check out with your table number near bar area nowadays instead of having to walk all the way to the front entrance area. Good casual environment. I had my regular Bun Rieu crab tofu tomato soup noodle bowl $16.95 now. #53 Fresh Coconut juice $5.25, and #50 Three Color Bean With Coconut Milk $6.45. Everything is still very satisfying. Biggest difference these days is that there are no huge lines or crowds during weekdays lunch hours now. People are really dining out less. This restaurant has been here for as long as I have worked in Silicon Valley over the past two decades. I still enjoy coming here very much. Parking lot is still empty on weekdays. You may have had better foods elsewhere, but for a quick casual lunch, this won't disappoint. Menu definitely got smaller compared to over 15 years ago. It's really spacious inside, so no need to bump into other customers or it's rarely congested or overcrowded now. Good stop. I'll be back again. read more

Ordered the chicken com tam combo that came with either a spring roll or egg roll and a soda for $20. Taste was solid, but the portion size was not great - was bit skimpy on the chicken. Overall, decent spot but not great value for the price read more

The wifey and I have driven past this Pho restaurant - Com Tam Thanh, several times and we finally stopped in. Being greeted upon arrival was welcoming. The menu was smaller than the average Pho restaurant in the area, chose #16 Pho Ga Soup - Rice noodles with chicken in chicken broth. I'm happy to share this experience - service was much better than the other Bay Area Pho restaurants, love the mixture of chicken breast / thigh meat, quantity of items in my soup and overall soup broth was delicious and looking forward to making this a regular dining spot. Where can you find a decent lunch for under twenty dollars these days? Com Tam Thanh read more

They treated me pretty well, i ordered the food for 11:30AM they had it at 11:30AM, next time i want to go inside the restaurant and eat it looks very nice. I cannot wait to go back! read more

This location is convenient and close to the freeway off Stevenson for your Vietnamese cuisine fix. I love the Pho among their menu offerings of vermicelli and rice dishes. The broth is what makes it for me especially if I'm feeling the need for a healthy pick me up, a lighter meal or getting my noodle fix. They have indoor dining and are observing social distancing between patrons, provide sanitizer, and are wearing masks. They are quick to seat and classically for Pho restaurants are quick to take your order as well. They used to have small and large servings of Pho with price approprite pricing but that currently does not reflect on their menu. I'm sure they would allow a large serving for an additional price. The flavor of the broth is very appealing to me. I do add Sriracha and plum sauce and add the veggies that accompany the dish which include the jalepenos, sprouts, cilantro, Viet basil and lime. They have become a little more costly over the past year or so. For 3 regular size Pho and 3 specifically drinks not including tip was about $74! We continue to keep this restaurant in our staple of go-to restaurants. read more

This review is wayyy overdue as my family and I have been coming here for years now! We enjoy all of their dishes along with their great service they provide to all their patrons. Their broth and noodles are great! I love the different selection of pho you can get from them. Not to mention their togo is already clean and perfectly package for you when you pick up. All you have to do is take home and reheat.... since I like mines super hot LOL. Their spring rolls are also reallly good! But I would say we majority of the time come here for the pho. def a fan and will be coming back again real soon for my pho cravings! :) read more

So, I've lived in Fremont for many years and although this restaurant is in Newark I've seen and passed it by many times. Newark/Fremont border. So, I finally visited since I maybe leaving CA soon. My 1st visit was during lunch. I was greeted warmly and I did not have to wait. I was craving a rice plate so I went with a Com Tan Suon Bo Dai Han or rice plate with Korean style beef and a fried spring roll. The meat was very tender and delicious. Seasoned perfectly. The rice was also great, warm fluffy, cooked well. The spring roll was nice and crispy and came with the traditional dipping sauce. I cobbled it up in no time when I got home. My second visit was also around lunchtime, I git a pork banh mi. The sandwich was good it had lettuce and the picked carrots and daikon, and I believe butter and mayo although I didn't really taste those elements. I added mayo when I got home. The meat was also nice and tender and its texture melded well with the fresh baguette. I was disappointed that it had no cilantro or jalapeños, so to me the flavor was missing that element. My third visit I brought my friend for dinner. She had the veggie banh mi with tofu. She said it was good. It seamed to have everything I expected, she is vegan so no butter or mayo though. It was huge and the avocado they put in was also sliced rather largely. We shared the raw spring rolls with tofu in them. They were good but the peanut sauce seamed to be a bit loose. Other than that spot on flavor. I had the Pho Suon Bo! Besides the way it looked the beef was hella tender, came right off the bone. The noodles were not as soft as I wanted but the texture was what I expected, sorta al dente. It came with all the sides, lemon, bean sprouts, cilantro, Thai basil, etc..The serving was large and I took it home to go. I also got a Vietnamese coffee which was very good although I wanted it a bit sweeter. I should have mentioned it to them though, so my bad. The restaurant setting is very large, like a banquet, it's separated in two parts. There were maybe only 3-4 other couples there and a couple single folks, but it still seamed very empty. Which leads me to wonder how they stay open but the food if so good I couldn't imagine them not being profitable. Service was prompt and friendly, the food came out rather quickly but they could have checked in a bit more often. Other than that it was fine. I did like the fact that I was able to get my own to go containers and the gentleman concierge was very nonchalant and cool. The Mrs' who saw us to our table and always greeted me at the desk is very nice, a gentle demeanor. Very pretty too. She must be the owner. I'll definitely be back again before I leave Cali! Tldr: Great spot for authentic Vietnamese food with a quiet ambiance and lovely hosts. read more

For a restaurant that is open until midnight, I would say this is a good option when you're craving Vietnamese food. The price of the food might be a bit steep by a couple of more dollars per dish. However, it's a minimal price to pay for late night eats. I'd come back and support this business. Solid three star restaurant, for sure. read more

We came by accident but were pleasantly surprised by how delicious our meals were. The older gentleman who served us was kind and made amazing suggestions for how they eat the meals in Vietnam. I ordered the beef stew- I order this everything I go to pho restaurant. So having it served with the Bahn mi bread- was a surprise but, I will never want it any other way again. The bread was perfectly light, crusty, and soft in the middle. Soaking up the stew in every bite. Hubby ordered #31. He always gets the rice plate and he said it was one if not the best he has had in years. The Shrimp were cooked just right, with fried rolls, and pickled veggies- all came together nicely. Our girls had the kid's beef pho and chix rice plate. Both ate all they could and still had so much more left. And both appreciated the meals and want to come back again. read more

This place is known for their broken rice plates. I've never had broken rice before this, but essentially they are broken rice grains from the milling process, so the rice grains used is a lot smaller and shorter. I had the special broken rice plate, which came with shredded pork and grilled pork. It was pretty good, but I think recently they raised the prices so it's basically around $20, which I think is quite pricey for a rice plate. It does satisfy my Viet food cravings when I'm in the Fremont/Newark area. read more

So I am a little torn on this place .The Food is exceptional and I would consider it to be one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the area! However there are some things that definitely need to improve when it comes to customer service.... I have visited this establishment three separate occasions.. - Dine-in(1) - Carry outs(2). I always order the Com Tam Combo with the Goi Cuon and it never disappoints.The grilled pork chop is always so juicy and tender that combines well with the broken rice *MY BIGGEST CONCERN * The service is very lack luster to say the least, ... the owner seems very standoffish, this is always the case and I now only order online. If things get any worse I will sacrifice good food for better service somewhere else (long story short, our first time eating dine in, he cuts our meal short because I guess we were at the table to long , he told the buss boy by saying "yeah they are done , go ahead they are done" while we were still eating and chatting!) I didn't think too much of it because I thought they were closing but I look up to see that he was rushing us out for the next customer. I cant give a overall score but: Food : 9/10 Customer Service :4/10 Cheers all , Happy Holidays!! read more

Had beef Pho from this place yesterday. The soup was amazing. I had the well-done beef Pho and ordered a side of tripe and tendon. We ordered tofu and lettuce spring rolls which were fresh and fried egg rolls that were tasty. The egg rolls are made with pork and were crunchy and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. We ordered Thai tea with boba and it was hands down the best Thai tea I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced between the tea and the cream, and it was not too sweet. The boba was perfect too. It was chewable, not too mushy or chewy, and tasty. The restaurant is clean and spacious. They have an area for large parties, including a buffet and stage. Highly recommend this place. They have a special where you can buy 3 soups and get one free. This a great deal as the cold season approaches and if you have busy workdays, you can stock up!! read more

Was craving pho yesterday and ordered some to go. Although the noodle portion wasn't much, they were very generous with the meat. The soup was also very good and the service was good too, as they were very friendly. Today my son wanted Banh Mi so we ordered some, it was really good. The meat was so tender and flavorful I just couldn't get enough to. The sandwiches are a good size for the price we paid. Here is what we had in the two days: Combination pho: Rice noodle with rare beef, well done beef, meatballs - like I said, for the to go order there wasn't a lot of noodles but a lot of meat. It was very good so I would still order for the taste and price Chicken pho: chicken broth with chicken - also very good and flavorful Banh Mi Sandwich: Vietnamese sandwich with choice of grilled meat, cucumber, and pickled carrots and daikon includes mayo - we got the pork and beef - both were delish and I will definitely be going back to get more No pics this time as I ate everything so quickly...I suggest you try it out if you are in the area read more

Really love this place. I come here whenever I get my car serviced at the KIA dealership. The customer service have always been excellent. It's also very nice to see the same familiar face. Parking is always plentiful as they are located in an outskirt mall. I don't know if they are a branch from the several locations in San Jose, but their food taste about the same. I do however, really love their grilled beef. They always come out tender and tasty. I'm also very glad to see that they are still open especially during this challenging times. Oh for coffee lovers, Starbucks is literally, right across them. Very convenient and right off the freeway from 880 North or South. Cheers! read more

Absolutely delicious broth. Usually I put a decent amount of hoison sauce and siracha in my pho but the broth was so flavorful I didn't need any. The people there are super nice and place is extremely roomy. A bowl was around $18-20 which is quite pricey but the night I went they had a deal for buy 3 bowls get 1 free so it wasn't too bad. Would definitely recommend trying ! read more

Food was ok customer service wasn't great due to language barrier. Took along time to get their attention to pay.

There's not that many Vietnamese restaurants in the area. This place is pretty decent, and I could see them having a lot of regulars, but it's nothing special. I think the prices are a little high. I would keep eating here just because I think the location is pretty convenient. I've tried the pho, egg rolls, and rice plates. Honestly, I would order any of them again. I've only gotten takeout and it's always ready when I arrive if I call ahead. read more
