Hidden gem if you're looking for some authentic Vietnamese food! It's not your typical Pho restaurant. Their specialties are the dry dishes with your choice of broken rice or vermicelli. They only serve chicken pho if you're wanting a soupy meal. You get generous portions and the meat and vegetables are fresh and tasty! The star of the show is their secret sauce (fish sauce) that comes with the dry dishes. *chefs kiss* when you think the dish alone is tasty enough, you add the sauce and maybe a hint of hot sauce (which btw they have different varieties of hot sauces too) ! It complements the food so well! It's definitely a must try even if you feel some type of way about fish sauce. Trust me. It's worth a try! I almost don't want to write this reviews because right now, there isn't any wait for lunch or dinner. But I won't be stingy and share my fav places to eat in the OC. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, make a trip here. Promise you won't be disappointed! read more

We love this place and have been coming back. Good quality food at fair prices. It's farther out of the hustle bustle areas which is great because it's not as crowded. I hate to share good places that aren't crowded now because I hate to see the crowd come but I also don't want it to go out of business so please come. read more

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Clean & nicely decorated interior. Has become one of our favorites recently.

Food: 3/5. Priced at $11.99 and you'll get 2 thin strips of pork chops. I'm willing to pay more to fill me up with more proteins. I've been to many other com tam places and they have much bigger portions with Just a little more $. Taste is ok, nothing wowed me yet. Service: 5/5. The 2 workers there were very nice and accommodating. Ambiance: 5/5. lots of seating inside, and it looks clean compared to the previous old Thai restaurant. I hope they will improve on the quality of their food as they just opened. read more

I was here earlier this week. I had never tried broken rice before, and I was curious, as it seems to be a very popular vietnamese dish. I am extremely glad that I found Hot Com Tam for my inaugural experience. The place is very clean, very nicely decorated, and was playing cool vietnamese music in the background. The waiter was also very friendly, and I appreciated him taking the time to explain what the dish is and how it is ordered. Basically, it is a large scoop of broken rice in the middle of the plate with protein options on the plate around it and a ramaken of really good sauce that you pour over the whole thing. The whole experience was very fun and the food was delicious. I am looking forward to taking my family there on my next visit as I am sure they will enjoy it. And the price is very affordable compared to other places I have been. Highly recommended! read more

Had a great breakfast with my son and I. Service and food were great. We were here for a basketball tournament at the Maps and this was close by. The restaurant was clean and so were the restrooms. Great food, highly recommended. read more

HOT Com Tam - Com tam - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Trash food and service.. last time I came it wasn't good, food came out cold and dry!! Christmas Eve tried to again because it's the only place open nearby, I called in 20 mins before and showed up, he says another 25 mins because they have a order of 18 plates but why didn't he tell me on the phone?? read more

They should name their spot to cold, cause when we got our food it came out cold and we got our appetizer after we ate, and worst of all we ordered the broken rice with chicken and that was the most disappointing dish I ah e ever seen, 3 pieces of chicken and broken rice and my friend was a big boi, and the food was not even good, would not recommend read more

2nd time here highly recommend. Very clean excellent food. Friendly service I live over 1/2 hour away. Worth the drive read more

HOT Com Tam - Char broiled pork with vermicelli noodles. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Fried chicken and the short rib broken rice plate is delicious!!! Egg rolls are good too.

The fish sauce is overloaded with Sugar while everything else is overloaded with oil. Service is odd. They give you a confusing tablet to order while the waiters standing idly judging you. read more

Friendly and helpful service. Immaculate food presentation. Futuristic ordering system at the table. I ordered the 4 item rice dish and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. read more

I'm just going to comment on the food since I did takeout, but Quick Look around the restaurant is that it's clean. The food was good, not too greasy like other com tam places. Good portion and they give you some soup, though I wish that they put some little pieces of neck bones or spare ribs like Thuận Kiều. Soup is on a salty side but not too salty. I was kinda sad since Thuận Kiều got super greasy so I stopped going there, but luckily this place pop up and I can enjoy my com tam again. It is also my parents' favorite com tam place now. 100% would come back gain read more

I really want to like this place some it's close to home but really I couldn't... here's the break down.... Service: the kids working there were very nice.. really sweet... great service Food: portions were normal... I wouldn't say it's huge... I know other com tam places have bigger portion... hey give you 2 super thin pork chop if you get sườn nướng ... there's no complaints here in terms of portions. The chạo tôm was on the soft mushy side and that's not how it should be. The egg&meat cake was fair. Bì was just ok... not great... the main part was the meat... decent flavor, however it was not grilled... I think grilled meat should truly be grilled... it was fully cooked but a bit under grilled or not grilled so it doesn't smell good... it was just ok for me. Plating: Usually doesn't bother me but I don't think cơm tấm needs to be served in such plates... cơm tấm isn't a fancy item... in fact it's a "get your belly full" dish so I think they went a bit overboard with the "plating"... plus its not a fancy restaurants... no need for that. Also the bún thịt nướng... same things... it was swerved in a large pasta plate or like a giant American shallow soup bowl...again... not necessary... and it didn't feel good eating with it. I would concentrate on the quality and flavoring if you're a cơm tấm place.. as long as you keep your restaurant clean, tidy, and cozy... it'll be better than trying to go for look ... plus, in this area... taste is much better than look... and also it doesn't go with the plain empty restaurant read more

Really wanted to support this local business but the food fell way short of my expectations. I love broken rice and normally I ordered only the steamed egg cake, julienned pork and skin and the tofu shrimp paste as I don't want to too much meat that would sit heavily in the stomach for hours. So the three items have always been satisfying at other com tam places. I didn't expect the portion to be so small when placed on my table. But this place, the steamed egg cake portion was puny about half a size of others. It was overly salty even without complimenting with fish sauce. As well as the Tau Fu Ky only a fraction of other places and it was noticeably darker, tough to chew. I suspected it had been refried from left overs. It was also very salty and dried. I ended up paying $19 tax and tip included and unsatisfied and still hungry. I went to THH afterwards and grabbed a sandwich to fulfill my tummy. The only thing Hot about Hot Com Tam was the broken rice. My soup was lukewarm and so is the egg cake. Take a look at the photos taken by Yun S and see for yourself how tiny the egg cake and dark Tau Fu Ky wedges are. My plate was exactly the same. I really hope this place improved until then I won't be coming back. read more

The rice plate is good. I ordered tau hu ky, oppla, and shredded pork. Its taste very balance and reasonable price. They have tablet for you to ordered which don't really need a server. The ambiance is very clean and modern compare to typical Vietnamese restaurant read more

Highly recommend. Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5 Ambience: 4 Speed: 5.0 Price: 4.5 Value: 5.0 Food: chicken is not overcooked, skin is crispy. Shrimp kebab is amazing. Pork is above average. Soda is 99¢ per glass, ask for little ice. Service: workers are friendly, accommodating. Ambience: lots of windows, bright, half a dozen large screen tvs showing other restaurants' food, plenty of space between tables. Appears to be a converted Shakey's Pizza. Go to Yummy's in same plaza for a wider selection of desserts. read more

We have been here multiple times, and it has been consistently a terrific experience. The restaurant is clean, and we are always seated immediately. They installed an electronic ordering system at each table since the last time we visited. Ordering is easy. The menu allows you to customize your dish without having to look through hundreds of menu options to find the right one. My favorite part is being able to order noodles or broken rice. My husband orders the four item broken rice, and I get the three item vermicelli noodles. The meats are tender and has a nice charred bbq flavor. They are also not stingy with the accompanying vegetables. Prices are reasonable, the food is delicious, and portions are filling. That's enough to bring me into a restaurant, but there's more. My husband is always happy to order a drink because they don't overcharge. They are also one of the few restaurants left to still serve hot tea for free, which use to be standard at every Vietnamese restaurant. I haven't seen drink prices like this since the early 2000s. I hate finding little charges snuck into my bill for water that was placed into a takeaway cup or tea that cost $5 because of the tiny cup of honey next to it. This seems like a small thing; however, it is one of the many examples of the owners wanting you to enjoy your food experience. The staff is pleasant and personable. They go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. We have a three year old picky eater. He sits to enjoy his entire meal here. Tonight we took my mom. She's the ultimate test. Mom would always rather eat her own cooking at home. She approves! Pictures to be posted later. We keep saying we will take some, yet we have continued to devour all our food before we had the chance... read more

Good service, definitely trying for a different and flavorful experience here, they did a great job remodeling the building. Highly recommend if want to try something different and modern read more

One of the best com tam places I've tried in OC. Their bitter melon soup is so good .

Well this place surprised me! The presentation is incredible especially for the price point. Newly remodeled and under new ownership, it looks incredible inside and out. The use of big screen TV's all around the inside showing Asian cooking and preparation around the world is so interesting. I had Charred Pork with egg-rolls and noodles along with lots of greens and cucumbers. Wow! Amazing Flavors. Abundance of food. Waiter was so friendly and attentive. Just can't say enough about this place other to add 'What are you waiting for?' This is a place you want to go to. read more

My family of six recently stopped at this restaurant for lunch and everyone agreed that the food was delicious including the very picky eaters! the restaurant itself was clean, servers were friendly and the prices were very reasonable. There was plenty of parking available. I especially enjoyed the bitter melon soup! I have no complaints and look forward to returning to support this new establishment. read more

Cheap and well made Vietnamese dishes 10/10 would recommend. Fast service, polite servers.

Great food, friendly staff, and take out was quick and easy! The inside looked very clean for a Vietnamese restaurant.

Never had broken rice before, but it was absolutely delicious with the sweet fish sauce! The pork chops, chicken wings, and beef short ribs were a delicious combination on the 3 course meal! Delicious jasmine tea too! The staff was super friendly and helpful in deciding what to choose! A definite must go for sure! read more

The food here is decent. The portion of rice to meat ratio is outstanding. Rice was kinda dry for me. The store was nicely set up and the service here was somewhat unorganized but i get it....its a new establishment. read more

We like this restaurant for its cleanliness and service. The food was also very tasty. The protein selection for the com tam was good. For the price, the portion was right. The availability for the small bittermelon soup (canh kho qua nhoi thit) to add on to the broken rice dish was a smart idea. We will try their hu tieu next time. read more

Have to try this place!!! Tried various items on their menu and EVERYTHING was delicious and perfectly cooked and seasoned. Beef short rib is must try. read more

Friendly staff and good food at an affordable price. The place is also very clean. Will definitely come again!

First time in. The place is super clean and inviting. I loved watching the video screens which made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere. Wayne was VERY helpful as I was not familiar with a lot of the dishes. He had the time to walk me through things and make suggestions for my companion and myself. The food was great. We will definitely be back. read more
