I haven't even ate the food yet but I give this place 5 stars for the costumer service. It was a busy Saturday morning. The place was already packed with people and to go orders at 10am. I was standing at the register waiting to order. There were two people in front of me and when the cashier was done he asked who was next. I pointed at the guy that was there first. He went and I moved behind him. This older vietnamese lady comes in and comes up right behind the guy that was in front of me. Pulls out her $20 hovers it over the cash register and rudely pushes her way in front of me. She stands inches away from the guy in front of me. The cashier must be use to this behavior because he basically told her to chill and wait until he's done with me. I told him I just needed a to go menu and told me to let him know when I'm ready. I thought it was nice of him to check the lady because he knew I was first. read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - Store front - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Surprised this place was crowded. The food's portion was small, but we have no complains about the taste. Ok ambiance and service.

Whenever I visit OC, l would order to go and it only takes them 10-15 mins. (order in advance). l don't think I'll be eating at the restaurant anymore (ONLY TO GO) because l just realised they automatically charge 15% gratuity of 5 or even when your child doesn't eat. l can't justify that cuz Viet/Chinese restaurant don't have good service, they take your order and bring the food that's all !! l usually don't write about service at any asian restaurants unless it's fine dining asian restaurants, but automatic gratuity with shitty service gets me. The restaurant is small and typical ugly furnishings, but good Com Tam. read more

Frist time my family came from Michigan, the food was good. But the old man service was really bad. He had a bad attitude. We never come back again. The owner has to train him. We weren't happy with that. read more

This is a small hole in a wall family run Vietnamese restaurant. I finally gave this place a try after living so close after many years and I'm mad at myself for not giving it a shot sooner. The thit nuong was SO flavorful and smoky. It totally tasted and made me feel like I was at the Tet festival eating the thit nuong skewers right off the grill. The rice was cooked perfectly too. Definitely returning! read more

The food here is excellent. The portions are large, the restaurant is clean and the service is quite friendly. They speak English and gave refills on the small soup that comes with the entrees. The owner always recognizes me and says hello. She's very friendly. The prices are in line with other restaurants. I've gone with my kids and parents and everybody was satisfied with their meal. I can't wait to go back. read more

No-frills service - if you're used to going to authentic Asian restaurants, you know exactly what I mean. The food more than made up for it though. You don't come to these kind of places expecting overly friendly and attentive service. You're only there for the food - and the food is REALLY good. They don't bring you the bill, just go up and pay at the counter when you're done eating. read more

The best Com Tam I've had in OC so far. The food is good, service is fast, and the price is so reasonable. Can't beat that! Service: 5 out of 5 The place is small, so they were packed on a weekday during lunch. Gladly, we came after the lunch crowd left, so we were seated shortly thereafter. Our server immediately took our drinks, starters, and entreé orders upon seated. Few minutes later, our drinks and egg rolls came in, and briefly after that, our entreés came too. I was a bit surprised how fast their service was. I wanted to take more time conversing and catching up with my friend, but the food came so fast shortly after we were seated. At the sight of the food, we immediately stopped talking in mid sentence, and started devouring it. The egg rolls were gone in 30 seconds! Food: 5 out of 5 I had been craving Com Tam since I saw my yelp friend Anh N. posted pix from this place, and read his 5-star review. As far as food, my expectations of this place were right on point! The food came out fresh and very delicious. I ordered a Com Tam combo which came with grilled pork, egg meatloaf, and a crispy fried shrimp cake, which my friend translated to "Com Tam Thit Nuong, Cha, Tau Hu Ky". The crispy fried shrimp cake came fresh off the grill, and made a crunch noise at every bite! The dipping sauce that came with the meal was just perfect eaten with the crispy shrimp cake. The marinated grilled pork was also very delicious, and eaten together with the egg meatloaf were a perfect pair of awesome goodness! My friend ordered the Bun Thit Nuong which is vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and veggies. I had a taste of it, and it was also very delicious. We also ordered egg rolls for starters, and it came out crispy and so tasty! The egg roll filling was seasoned well, and not too peppery like most Vietnamese restaurants typically have it. I really enjoyed every bite of it. With their reasonable prices and their delicious Com Tam combos, I had to make my trip worthwhile, so I ordered extra Com Tam for to-go. When I got home, my son immediately grabbed the to-go bag and emptied it out. Ambiance: 2 out of 5 This place is so small, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable given the social distancing mandate. However, we sat one seat apart, so that was a relief. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and their prices are so worth driving here. Not only that, their service is fast and everyone from the cashier, to the bus boys, and the servers were all courteous. read more

Com Tam is one of those foods that I can eat over and over again without getting tired. I have tried so many restaurants that specialized in this dish and I can say that Thien Hao is one of the best in its area. The restaurant is located in the busy corner of Beach and Trask, opposite Walmart. It is not a big establishment. In fact, I think bigger party (8+ ppl) may have a hard time getting seated since this is just not a good place to do it. Let's talk Com Tam. Their broken rice is cooked to perfection, soft and moist. Nuoc Mam (fish sauce) is not too salty and blends well with the dish. For toppings, I usually have grilled pork, fried egg, steamed egg loaf, and pork skin. They are all delicious and well-seasoned. Sometimes, tho, the grilled pork is like 5-seconds away from being burned. I don't mind it, I like my pork well-done, but my parents will silently judge whoever in charge of grilling their meat that day. New customers may find their service a bit offensive, because of how they are not smiling and greeting and showing friendliness. I felt it the first time, but after my 7th and 8th and more visits, I knew that they would be happy to provide things and respond to many requests, sometimes even went beyond the extra mile, just that they were not very good at presenting those expressions that we usually expect to see with customer service. Overall, a pretty good place to have lunch or dinner, or even pick up to-go. Will definitely be back when I am in the area. read more

today 9-29-25 we came to eat com tam thien hao , we observed a young boy who waiter served food at this restaurant after he cleaned up the restroom with blue gloves after he done he still used same gloves to serve our food. he didn't know service rules , all restaurants always put a sign in side restroom required all employees must wash their hands before go back to work to make sure hygiene for every body. we very disappointed my wife said never come back again. read more

A jewel in a strip mall on the corner of Beach and Trask, this restaurant is a local favorite. You will always find a line and a waiting list outside. And the food is always worth the wait. The barbecue pork dishes are the house specialties and they are all delicious. The Pho is great too. Highly recommend! read more

The good: This is a great casual Vietnamese spot for broken rice with meat dishes. Com tam is my husband's favorite Vietnamese dish so he was very excited to try this place. They offer a variety of meat/protein combination and side options. Their tau hu ky was crunchy and delicious. The Vietnamese pork had a nice charred grill flavor. I had the fresh squeezed orange juice that was delicious and refreshing. Rice plates are around $12 (depending on which combination you get). The grilled shrimp with sugarcane was good and the egg cake was also well done. I liked that they didn't miss any option for combinations and everything that traditionally can come with com tam was offered as an option here. The bad: The interior is small and there is no outdoor dining. It is better for groups of 4 or fewer people since their seating is limited. The interesting: They're closed on Tuesdays. They also sell pho and bun (vermicelli noodle bowls). read more

Service excellent: very quick and attentive employees who are very sweet, unusual for a Viet establishment. It was pretty good but nothing out of the ordinary for a com tam Busy mom and pop restaurant. Pork was tender, Chinese sausage (lap suong) was a bit undercook but then again, I like it a bit char on the outside, Bi (shredded pork) was ample. Overall, plate was good but I've had bigger and better portions elsewhere. I like that the dish came with a soup on the side. I would come back if there was not so MANY of these Com Tam places in OC. read more

Solid com tam (Broken rice) restaurant that also takes credit cards! Looking at the menu can be a little daunting as there are about 50 different rice combinations! If you usually eat com tam and know what you like, it might be easier to just tell them what you want with your rice lol. There portions are huge and the food is delicious. Ordered the rice with grilled pork, egg cake, julienne shredded pork, with pickled cabbage. Everything was very tasty and flavorful and not too greasy. Each dish is served with a bowl of soup to help wash everything down. read more

This is the best place to get com tam or broken rice! The service was pretty quick, but I usually get take out. The restaurant can get busy sometimes and they have a medium sized seating area, so just keep that in mind! I usually get the com tam thịt nướng tau hu ky, which comes with meat and a shrimp roll cake. The shrimp roll cake is super crunchy and flavorful and the meat is really tender. The rice was great and paired everything well together! This is just one of the many dishes you should have here. The sauce they provide for you is really good, I highly recommend putting it over your rice. Finally, they always give a nice light soup on the side, which just made for an awesome experience. Some other dishes I recommend is the com tam suon nuong! read more

Don't ever bring your children here to eat . I brought my 5 year old and they served rotten blackened coconut water to my child without really apologizing. Restaurant should check before serving any type of food or drinks . The owner was just complaining of the company who provided coconut instead of apologizing. Owner said "if your child gets sick , then we will go from there" . How can a restaurant owner say like this . This is unacceptable. Restaurant better pray that my child will not get sick from this . This is our first time ever came to this restaurant and this happened and I feel bad for my kid . How can I trust restaurants that is not even checking food or "just fruit " as owner said, before serving to customers . How can we even trust of other food too if is not rotten or old dated food . I'm really upset and mad about what happened just today around 5pm today . This restaurant doesn't even worth 1 star. read more

Tôi là khách hàng của tiệm từ lúc mở tiệm tới bây giờ. Tôi thật sock với thái độ phục vụ với khách hàng ngày hôm nay. Tôi gọi điện thọai order togo và nói kỹ ý nhưng khi tới thì không đúng ý tôi. Tôi lịch sự yêu cầu đổi cho tôi, tôi chưa hề đụng vào đồ ăn.Khi tôi muốn gặp quản lí hoặc chủ quán. Người cashier tên Phú , cao tầm 1m7 , ốm mặc áo thun xanh ( tự xưng là chủ quán) nói với tôi thái độ bất lịch sự. " Bây giờ tiệm bán vậy, không lấy đúng ko ? Vậy trả tiền lại. Anh ta tự động cất đồ ăn vô và trả tiền lại cho tôi với thái độ bố thí tiền lại cho tôi, không cần bán" Oh woaaa, một thái độ không cần khách hàng . Tôi đã là khách hàng của bạn từ lúc mở tiệm và bây giờ trở đi tôi sẽ không bao giờ quay lại quán của bạn và tất cả những người trong gia đình tôi. Giá đồ ăn của quán cao hơn những quán khác và nhận lại một thái độ không cần khách . 2pm , 09/01/2022 My family and I have been customers with Thien Hao since they opened, but today it was such a shock to me with one of the employee's attitudes toward their customer. I called in for a pick up order and left specific instructions. Yet, when I arrived, they prepared my order wrong, so I asked the cashier to change it for me. The cashier named Phu gave me an attitude and said" That's what we served, deal with it". I asked to speak to the manager or the owner, and he claimed he is the owner's son. He proceeded to take the food back with a rude attitude. If your employees don't need customers for the restaurant, then we'll never return here. Your restaurant is already over prices, almost $50 for 2 entrees, and your services are like you don't need customers. Happend today 09/01/2022 around 2pm. read more

Their food is good but they get the food order wrong almost 50% of the time :( I've ordered takeout from them about 5 times in the past 6 months and 3 of the 5 times the order was wrong. Same food order EVERY TIME, but the food they gave us has been different 3 of the 5 times. We really like the food but maybe you should only order in person so you can confirm which picture you want. I order by the item number so there shouldn't be confusion, but it happens all the time. Everything else is great, food and service. Although this past order our fish sauce container had a huge crack in it and there was sauce EVERYWHERE inside the box and bag I'll still go back, but I hope they start to get more buttoned up on accuracy. read more

Often busy so expect a short wait but the food is good. One of my favorite con tam spots in OC.

We were a group of 3. My 2 friends got there first and the waiter seated them at a table for 4 next to a table for 2 in the corner. When I came, they asked how many people in our group. We told them 3, then they moved us to the next table where they had a many boxes and supplies nearby and they told us that the table we were at together with the table for 2 at the corner would be for a big group of 6. We did not want to sit at that table but we understood that their space is small so we were ok. When we sat down, because some of the space was taken by the supplies, my friend move the table about 3 inched to get more space. The waiter complained that there would not be enough space for the next table. At that time, there was no customer. We told them that we would move the table back when the customers come. They continued to complain and another waiter or manager came to tell us that we are not allowed to move their table. At that time, we couldn't take it anymore and we left to go to another restaurant. This happened today 7/20 around 6:30pm. This restaurant definitely does not respect their customers and we will never come back here. read more

Mom approved. Service isn't that great but food is good. The meats for the broken rice are marinated in honey. It's not too sweet or salty. I like the Tau Hu Ky, the crispy tofu skin with meat. They need to put more green onions though. You can literally count the onions on the rice... read more

(4.5 stars only because I've only eaten one dish there and haven't tried the rest to comment.) This has been our go to place for thit nuong heo (grilled pork) the past year because of someone from the office. The meat is very flavorful with well balanced seasoning. I have to cut out carbs due to diabetes. So the last time my husband and I ate there, I ordered the bun thit nuong and ate everything but the noodles which wasn't as filling. The office decided to buy food from there for lunch today so I ordered it without the noodle this time. They made my day!!! The to go box is bigger than your normal to go box, and they filled it with vegetables and meat. Thank you for not skimping out on the meat for me!!! It's sad enough to have to cut out carbs and change how I eat all of my favorite Vietnamese food, but they made this meal so much more satisfying. It's like eating a huge salad. I don't add the nuoc mam pha (fish sauce mixture) cuz the pickled carrots/daikon and the meat give enough flavor for me and since nuoc mam has more sugar than I need. I appreciate the person who made my meal!!! read more

The customer service here was absolutely great and friendly. I believe a waiter named Harrison, a high schooler, served me the other night. He was very kind enough to recommend me some dishes, as it was my first time eating there. I felt like I was at home, and even if it was busy, he acknowledged me and helped me through my order regardless. There are not that many kind waiters like him nowadays! The food was also amazing. It tasted authentic, and the portion was perfect! Thank you Harrison for allowing me to enjoy my time at your restaurant! read more
