    authentic rice dishes with great service. It's tucked in the outskirts of Westminster and I found out about this gem because my friend introduced it to me. He believes that it's too notch because they charcoal grill your protein. Their picked vegetables were also tasty and addicting. Strong Vietnamese coffee as well.

    This was a pretty good com tam place. The com tam tau hu ky was good but a bit oily. The thit nuong was flavorful and delicious. I would highly recommend if you love com tam. Prices are a bit higher but the portions can feed you for 2 meals. Lots of parking!

    Wow very generous portions, delicious sauces, the egg cake was really good. Served and seated in minutes. Don't miss out on this hole in the wall gem!

    My pho :)
    Cheyenne G.

    Came here last Friday night because pho ALWAYSSSS HITS THE SPOT. The service here was amazing! Very friendly staff and the food was served quickly! At first I tried the pho and it seemed flavorless, but as I kept eating I began to really enjoy it! The soup stayed hot from beginning to end! It was so hot my rare steak was chewy and I did not enjoy that. But the overall good quality was tasty! It was clean and well kept which I also enjoyed. I recently stopped going to a pho spot closer to me, because I cannot stand how outdated and dirty it looks. This place will be our new favorite spot!

    Starting soup

    Preface: I think it's not a strong four, it's definitely on the edge of a 3 and 4. To start, the vibe is there. Got that rinky dinky location and throwback design. Service was typical for a Vietnamese restaurant, probably on the better side tbh. As for the food, presentation makes the food underwhelming; however the taste is decent. Starting soup is nice and light, and the com tam itself is not bad. I think the pork should be smokier and the egg cake is definitely way too soft. Should be firmer but maybe that's just personal preference. Portions varied from plate to plate. The bbq beef rib was actually pretty smoky and had a good flavor and texture. Overall, it gets the job done, but has a lot of possible improvements!

    Its been a while's since the last time I tried Com tam thien hao, and this will be my first dining in. Came in on Friday around 1130 am for lunch, plenty of parking, but parking kind of tight. Got seated right away and I ordered my usual Com Tam Bi cha thit nuong tau hu ky. Soup n fish sauce came first, followed by the com tam. I love the thit nuong is actually grilled on a skewer and pulled off for you, had good flavor, the cha and bi were basic, tau hu ku was crispy and good flavor, the pickle veggies were fresh and refreshing. The nuoc mam/ fish sauce is on the slight saltier side, my personal preference is for it to be sweeter, but thats just me. The side soup was good, it's probably the same soup they use for their pho. Overall I enjoyed the com tam and smash everything, the portion size is big. I'll update my rating from years past to a solid 4/5 and would return.

    Oh... no

    Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was recommended by my friend that this is a good spot to have com tam so I took a trip down to OC and gave it a shot. Parking was ok and restaurant is small. I got seated right away after check in. Ordered their special combo com tam, comes with grill pork chop, shredded pork, fried shrimp paste, and steam egg. The dish comes with the soup. As soon as I taste the soup, I can kind of guess what comes next. The food portion was small for $20, especially in this area. Right around the corner there is another restaurant that is cheaper, bigger portion and better tasting in my opinion but I have to give credit to their pork chop. Which is very tender and has good taste. I would consider this dish for under $15.

    Com Tam Suon Nuong [Pork Chop]
    Stephanie L.

    I was told this place had the best com tam in the area, so I had to check it out. I got the com tam suon nuong [pork chop] & com tam thit nuong [bbq pork]. Both dishes had a good amount of variety, and the portion size is big, so it's good to share a plate if you're not that hungry. I felt like it's okay. It's not the best com tam I ever had, but it gets the job done if you're craving it.

    Com tam is my fav viet dish of all time and I've tried a bunch of different places and I really love Thien Hao's. Meat had a great barbeque flavor and the dish components were great. Usually some parts of com tam falls flat like their tra chung or tau hu ky but thien hao nails it across the board. Tradition vietnamese restaurant so don't expect great service. Good food, great portion size too! Shareable. Parking is good.

    Beef rib, sugarcane shrimp & grilled chicken, fish cake and shrimp combo. Also come with a side of clean broth
    Rocky B.

    We were recommended this spot by a friend from Utah, and it did not disappoint! It's a small place that gets really busy, but the staff moves quickly and efficiently. The service was great, but the food--absolutely amazing. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I really appreciated their solid non-pork options like chicken, beef, and shrimp. The shrimp cake was a standout--so flavorful! And their fish sauce? Easily one of the best I've ever had. This place has definitely earned a spot on my must-visit list every time I'm in SoCal.

    Com tam bi cha suon nuong tau hu ky
    Amy N.

    Food was good. I ordered the com tam bi cha suon nuong with tau hu ky and my mom had the com tam bi cha suon nuong. We were both satisfied with our meals. My kids shared with me. I thought I was going to order more rice to go with the protein but my kids enjoyed the protein without the extra rice. There was definitely an abundance of protein. My only complaint is that the tau hu ky was not really shrimp paste. It was more of a pork cha. Service was decent. We came right before the lunch rush so we're seated immediately. Food came out pretty timely so no complaints there. The space was quite tight. There was not much space between the table we sat at and the table next to us. My daughter was in a high chair and there were inconsiderate people we sat next to that wouldn't move so I could pay for my check but it wasn't the fault of the restaurant. Anyways, I'd definitely come back again!

Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.
