    Won ton soup
    Diana F.

    Com tam is yummy. The cha (egg cake) is not as great since it does not have the wood-ear mushrooms, but the meats are tasty. I was very surprised that the won ton soup was good too. Spacious restaurant and service is good.

    Best part: no wait on a Sunday, but still many customers! Parking is not good, shocker (this city always has cramped parking). The food was significantly better when I was in high school. Now it's alright. I wish that they gave us water during our meal (we asked, but it remains one of life's mysteries). Had to ask at the register again when I was paying because my grandma was actually in need of water. She liked her food, so that's what matters at the end of the day. We always pay tip, but please don't do that again to any table. Family friendly restaurant. Lúc chị trẻ ăn ở cái nhà hàng này thì ngon mà Mấy ngày nay không có ngon bằng. Chị hỏi chơ nước lọc, không có cho lúp đang ăn, phải hỏi lại lúc trả tiền. Chưa có bao giờ xảy ra

    Com Tam Thanh has a special place in my heart. My parents have been coming here since they were dating. It is my family's favorite com tam, or broken rice, restaurant. Broken rice is a beloved Vietnamese rice dish made from the broken rice grains, which was once the budget type of rice for the poor farmers, but now it is a delicacy that is enjoyed for the softness of its' textures. While deciding what to eat for lunch, my boyfriend mentioned wanting a rice dish. I knew exactly where to go. I had been missing Com Tam Thanh so it was perfect timing for our taste buds to align. This plaza has awful parking, but it's something I come to accept since I love the food here so much. Service is quick and straightforward, in a good way. The interior is spacious and there are plenty of tables. Com Tam with a porkchop or grilled pork is pretty basic. I was telling my boyfriend they master the Tau Hu Ky here. Their translation for that is a shrimp mousseline in tofu paper. They cut these ridges into it giving it more crispy surface area. I told him whichever dish he gets, I highly recommend one of the dishes that has Tau Hu Ky. My boyfriend ends up getting the #8 Com Tam Bi Cha Suon Tau Hu Ky ($17.75) which is the broken rice with julienne pork, steamed pork cake, bbq pork chop and shrimp mousseline in tofu paper. The #8 is one of their house specials and it is a larger portion than the other rice plates. I order my go-to #10 Com Tam Tau Hu Ky Thit Nuong ($14.75) which is the broken rice with shrimp mousseline in tofu paper and bbq pork. I also added a Fried Egg ($?). While we were waiting for our food, they brought out utensils, water, and the fish sauce and side of broth that comes with the rice dishes. The food came out pretty quickly. The server was teasing me how my boyfriend's order is bigger than my order, but I joked back that I can just steal from his plate. This meal really hit the spot for both of us. Every bite was incredible and there was a generous amount of protein and it perfectly compliments the broken rice. I was savoring the meal and I finished my whole plate. The #10 is perfect for me because I know I can finish it. If you have a healthy appetite, #4-8 are the bigger orders. You can also order any of these proteins a la carte too. Will definitely be back soon!! Cash Only! Just FYI for those who are not familiar with the area, there's a lot of cash only businesses down in this Little Saigon/Bolsa area, so I always make sure to have cash with me in the area.

    This place is a solid staple since I was a kid - beware of weekend brunch crowds! It can get quite busy with the waits! The food here is all so great and affordable. I always get the broken rice dishes with an extra helping of egg cake. Service is great and quick!

    After a few years this place still has the best broken rice compared to other places. Bun mam was just ok . I should order rice instead. Our server was friendly and helpful. I ordered number 34 for takeout it didn't have the bi nor Chinese sausage as shown in the picture. Parking spot was tight and full at 2 pm. But the restaurant was not super busy at that time.

    Ngon! I consider it to be one of the best places in OC for cơm tấm! Although the restaurant is known for its broken rice dishes, the menu also offers a wide range of other items like vermicelli items and soups. * Cơm Tấm Tàu Hủ Ky Bò Nướng Dồi: 9/10 - everything was freshly made and the portions were decently sized Be sure to bring cash because they don't accept cards or Apple Pay! The prices are a bit high, but the portions are a lot bigger than the other places I've been to. The interior is a bit small, but it is capable of fitting a decent number of tables and customers. The workers are always very nice, and the food comes out almost instantly. Everything is great except for the fact that they're located in Liberty Square Plaza, which is known for being very packed usually. One of our favorite places to eat at!

    This restaurant used to have a line out the door when I was last here before the pandemic. It's still busy but luckily no lines this time when we visited on a weekend for lunch. We were seated and our orders were taken within minutes. They are known for their Com tam (broken rice) dishes so that's what we ordered. Funny enough our food took awhile to come out. Portions were large and my pork chop was delicious. Very flavorful and still moist. I was a little disappointed in the Tau hu ky (shrimp mousseline). It was a little plain and oily. The stream pork cake was ok.

    Nothing beats their pork chops, not even my mama's! Our family has been going here for years. It's a Bolsa staple and favorite with excellent food, quick and friendly service ...and now a more modernized restaurant. I love seeing people from every culture and background eat here too! Yummy for all to enjoy.

    Came in on a rainy Thursday for lunch, place was a pack house, luckily got seated right away and I ordered right there also. I ordered com tam thit nuong tau hu ky lap xuong. The food came out less than 5 minutes. All I can say is the com tam was pretty basic and decent , the tau hu ky wasn't good, not that much shrimp in it, the thit nuong had good flavor but I didn't really taste the char or grilled flavor. Nothing too special, the best thing was the nuoc mam/ fish sauce. Oh yeah they charge $1 for using credit card. Parking can be tough also. Overall 3/5 rating for me, nothing special that would make me come back, especially with so many other Com tam in Oc.

    This is a staple in my family. We keep coming back after trying so many meh broken rice places in Little Saigon. There's another popular spot where the wait is always 30+ min and the grilled pork rice plate isn't as good (way too sweet). The grilled pork here is seasoned perfectly. Not sure if they use honey or condensed milk, but the sweetness works really well with the rest of the seasoning. Always worth the 45 min drive from SGV. Service could be improved though.

    Louisa L.

    I heard Thanh was the gold standard for com tam, so I was excited to finally have a chance to try it! I ordered the broken rice plate with BBQ pork, steampork cake, and fry bean curd. I also ordered egg rolls and a plate of cucumbers on the side. Everything was solid, though nothing stood out. My favorite dish was probably the egg rolls, but I think Golden Deli in SGV still wins. Service was fine in the beginning, but we were forgotten about, with 0 water refills or check ins, after we received our food. Price is very reasonable, and the portion sizes are good. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    Nikki M.

    Second time trying this restaurant because everytime we go to the other com tam places there's a long wait. This one is also a full house but the wait isn't as bad. Taste wise the food is delicious. However the portions are tiny compared to other places. For $17, it's not worth it. Cashier is also pretty rude. We won't be back because there are so many others to try.

    Yelp menu picture taken 4 months ago says sườn/thịt nướng, chả, tàu hủ ky $13.95 but Yelp order online says $15+. What's the price so I can bring enough cash?

    I was just there today and paid $16.50. The restaurant does take credit card now.

    Do they accept card?

    I ate here 3 days ago (08/07/21) and it was cash only, no cards accepted.

Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.
