I came here on a Sunday with a large group of 12 and they were able to accommodate us without any issues. There's actually a lot more seating behind the front dining area than I expected, so our group fit comfortably. They took everyone's orders pretty quickly and the food started coming out at a good pace. They have some really great deals too, including a buy two get one free special. The portions are huge for the price, amazing value!! This time I ordered the 7 item com tam and it came with a bowl of soup that was so rich and flavorful. Between the soup and the plate itself, there was so much food that I only finished about half and took the rest home. Every item on the plate was delicious, so it was hard to pick a favorite. The only thing I wished for was more fish sauce because I ended up using all of it before I finished my meal. I also grabbed the $1 iced tea and I honestly can't remember the last time I saw anything for a dollar. It was pretty good and reminded me of the standard iced tea you get at dim sum restaurants.
Of all the cơm tấm places in the land, this one is my favorite. I recently dinnered here and accidentally ordered one of the massive combos. I shared the #2. For $19.99, you get 7 protein choices. 7! My order came with Julienne pork, steamed egg cake, Chinese sausage, sausage roll, tofu shrimp cake, grilled shrimp, and grilled pork. All over a bed of rice with some cucumbers + pickled veggies. Value wise, you get a lot of variety and food. I absolutely love the tàu hũ ky here. It's the best. It's meaty and has the crispiest tofu skin. When you order a regular entree, you get 2 pieces! Incredible. I just think the cơm tấm here is top tier. Each individual component of the dish is solid. Any combination of things will leave you satisfied. Cơm tấm Thuan Kieu is great for first timers, second timers, or old timers.
Been going to this place for decades. My family comes here for their infamous broken rice combo every time. (Tip!! always get the combo instead of the entree bc you get more bang out of your buck.) But today we were adventurous and tried their "banh khot" bánh khọt. 7 piece Bánh khọt review: Yall be sleeping out on the bánh khọt here! It tastes amazing. Krispy thin yellow pancakes. The khọts are 3.5 inches long in diameter. A bit of meat, 3 shrimps, served with a bowl of salad, pickled carrots/radishes, fish sauce, and coconut sauce. This is a must try here! The best bánh khọt I've ever had.
Don't get intimated by how empty the restaurant is lol! The portions are ginormous for $25-$30, you can split between 2 people. Everything is pretty good, even though the shrimp cake could be crispier. But this is def top 3 for com tam in garden grove for me.
Food is average, but portion size is reasonable. Not a lot of choices as it is mostly chicken. Customer service is non existent. There are better com tam places in the area.
One of my favorite places for Vietnamese broken rice dishes! The menu has a large variety. You can make your broken rice plate customizable with the type of meats and sides. The staff is very friendly and you'll be seated right away if you decide to dine in. Plenty of seating and it's always clean. There's an option for take out as well. The prices are very reasonable for their quality and big portions. I would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed!
"I've been a regular here for over 10 years. The marinade is a bit different from Westminster, and the meats and veggies were a little less flavorful, in my opinion." But the service here is a little bit nicer than Westminster!
Came in and was sat immediately. The service was very fast- we already knew what we wanted so we ordered off bat and our food took only 5 minutes! This is definitely my favorite com tam place, the shrimp paste wrapped in beancurd is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
This is a good place if you're craving com tam. I used to come here as a kid. The food is good and comes out quick. If you love com tam, then this is the place to get it! Lots of parking in the plaza!
I come here often to get their egg cake to go. It's the best quality and quantity for the price compare to other com tam places.
My husband came here by himself on a Saturday afternoon and dined in. He got the com tam 10 mon ($20.65) which he said was phenomenal. The portion size was also really big so he had food coma afterwards. We recently stopped by on a Friday afternoon and ordered banh hoi 10 mon ($30.44) to-go and drove 1 hour home before we got to eat it. The food was surprisingly still warm enough to eat but the egg roll was soggy. The banh hoi cost $10 more which was not worth it since it didn't taste super fresh or hand-made. My husband said the portion size was smaller too. They didn't give enough nuoc mam so we added our own. However, they did give a good amount of veggies though. The meat, fish, & shrimp were good but my favorite was the egg cake. The eggroll and Nem Nuong log were just okay. Lesson Learned: Only dine in at this restaurant.
Just happened to drive by the strip mall where this place resides. Only a few other patrons so there were plenty of tables available. Took a look at their extensive menu and decided on their 10 item plate. It was overkill for me as I couldn't finish it all. Items were decent and I definitely enjoyed the variety. Loved the soup, which helped break up my meat overload. Would consider coming back again.
First time here, I really like the egg cake and tofu skin, the rice was really good, service is great

I came in to get something small to eat and thought I'd come in to get an appetizer or something. Inside there are plenty of seating. Didn't seem to crowded when I came in after 5pm or so. I went to the front to order something to go and I notice they had Nem Chua. I knew what it was because this thing went viral on tik tok, and I've been curious to try it ever since. I went to order something first and I got the grilled pork sausage rolls. I spoke with the guy at the cashier who could have possibly been the owner. I told him I've seen the Nem Chua everywhere and asked how it tasted, and he was super cool he gave me a small sample of it to try, and oh my gosh was it good!!!! The service is great here judging from that one interaction. Then I tried the pork sausage roll. It tasted so much more different then other Vietnamese restaurants I went to. The sausage was softer, and filled with flavor. The sauce was not the typical fish sauce I tried. It was different, and not a cold sauce but hot. It was absolutely amazing. So simple, but so good. I'm definitely coming back to try something new. read more

Order the com tam (broken rice) with bo nuong(grilled beef), cha (pork and egg loaf), tau hu ky (tofu skin with shrimp paste). They did some stuff good, some stuff poorly. The com tam was nicely cooked, grains individually separated. Bo nuong was not what I was expecting. It had some char, but then they slathered it in some sauce that took away from the expected crispy edges. The beef was also tough. The Cha was done well, soft and fluffy with good flavor. The tau hu ky had great flavor but could have been more crispy. Over all a lot to improve upon. read more

Com Tam Thuan Kieu is a staple in the Garden Grove/Westminster area. My family loves this spot and they're my go-to for com tam because the portions are huge and the flavors are always on point. I love com tam because there's a variety of meats you can eat. They give you plenty of nuoc mam and soup to pair with the com tam / broken rice. Service is decent! They mainly speak Vietnamese so it would be best to go with someone Viet or point at what you want. The restaurant is huge so there should be plenty of seating, I've never waited here. I would highly recommend checking them out. read more

Hands down best Com Tam I've ever had! This was my first real time trying this place/ having com tam, it was AMAZING. I loved the ability to choose different items, along with the pickled veggies, sauce and soup for variety! Everything tasted sooo good and the items came out glistening and so beautiful highly recommend! Servers are super sweet too, I love sitting next to the window seeing cars pass when I eat as well :-) 10/10 stars! read more

**Take out review** Called in before hand and placed an order for 3 plates. It was ready by the time I got there. Extra bowl of rice was $3. Everything was nicely packed and quite tasty. My favorite is the thit nuong, bi, steamed egg cake. This place is my go to for quick and easy meal. read more
Best broken rice I've ever had. I should be able to finish the whole plate myself but the portion was just about right for two people to share. Not enough rice for me but the 10 items on the plate made up for it. This set the bar for broken rice for me and all the broken rice on the west side are just scam and trash compared to this. The drinks were good but too much ice. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast, but we were also the only customers there during that time. read more

My family and I have been getting food from here for the past couple years. And it's always so delicious . We always go here for Cơm tấm (broken rice) or Bún Tôm Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (cold noodles with shrimp, meat, and egg roll) and to top it off we almost always get the Xương xáo nước dừa (grass jelly in coconut milk). It's always so good and filling! Honestly whenever I'm craving com tam or that type of food, I'd 100% recommend this place. The portion sizes are great for the price (at lease pre pandemic, I haven't really been here since the middle of the pandemic). The food is always great, you get a soup along with your meal too. I'm always satisfied after I'm craving it! I wanted to put more pictures but I realized I didn't take any haha. read more
Came at the end of a hot day, nobody inside which is weird given how popular this place supposedly is on Yelp. Ordered the #2 or #3, forgot, since it's different than other broken rice places, $18 but you get a GINORMOUS amount of food. Everything was fine from a non-vietnamese perspective but actually - some of the meats provided were not very flavorful, not that I think it was the cook's fault - just not as good as standard grilled meat options that vietnamese places have. So probably no need to get the super big $18 item - just thought I should try it since I can go anywhere else and get normal com tam. I imagine there's competition for solid com tam in GG/Westminster so I'm assuming it's the case that this is place is good but the only com tam that blew my mind was a chateau like vietnamese place that I don't think rules allow me to say directly ;) read more

Not the cleanest restaurant, but also not the cleanest plaza. I always get the special, 7 side combo with grilled pork. The plate is huge and is big enough to fill up two girls. They provide fish sauce and bone broth on the side! We tried the grilled chicken platter this time which was flavorful,however, the chicken portion was extremely small. Com tam thuan kieu is the og of com tam in little saigon,but sadly it doesn't hit the same as before. Still solid just not amazing as they are very skimpy on protein these days read more

When I am in California, I always go and eat broken rice at this location. Their meat is soft delicious and completely shareable. For the price under $30 for 3 people, that's a steal in California. Also, the Vietnamese coffee is delicious too read more
Great portions and decent prices! I used to go to their other location off of Bolsa, but recent reviews there made me reconsider and I decided to try this location. I ordered the 7 items choice A broken rice platter to go and it was ready within a minute after I ordered and paid. The food was not piping hot because the 7 items were already made ahead of time, which I don't mind because it is pretty typical of broken rice places. The only thing that was hot was the rice and soup. I did toast the tofu skin fish cake after I got home so that it would crisp up before eating. Overall, my hubby and I really enjoyed the food. Everything tasted really good except for the nem nuong (Vietnamese grilled pork sausage), which had a slightly weird taste to it. This was plenty of food to feed the two of us with leftovers for both of our lunches the next day. This will be our new go to place for com tam (broken rice) from now on! read more

First time and won't be the last time. Specialized in broken rice dishes. All proteins / meats are very flavorful. You can choose your own proteins on top of the broken rice or rice vermicelli. Mix them with the fish sauce and sambal oelek; so delicious. Clean, friendly, efficient and fast service. Glad to drop by. read more

This place has gotten better over the years. We order this place to go about once a month. It's about $15 for a 4 entree plate. Price went up but I mean, everything went up so no surprise. Com Tam is such a comfort food for me and this does hit the spot for me. read more

First time here and even though I think broken rice plates are hard to miss, but this place was pretty good! I really liked the tàu hũ ky (shrimp cake) and the grilled pork was flavorful and not dry. My only thing was that some of the pieces of grilled pork were way too fatty. Soup on the side was good and not too salty and I approve of the egg rolls if you like to order those as apps! Overall it's a very clean and fairly spacious restaurant. The servers and owners were very friendly. I would definitely come back to eat here or even get it for takeout as the plates are pretty hefty! read more
