We put our names down for two and were seated within about 10 minutes, then received our food within five minutes of ordering. Service was super fast and efficient, and the restaurant seems very well run. There's a small parking lot in front, and we got lucky enough to grab a spot as someone was leaving. We ordered the Com Tam #40 and Banh Beo, and the biggest thing that stood out to me was the portion sizes. They are MASSIVE. These are probably some of the biggest portions I've personally seen at a Vietnamese restaurant, especially for the price. Even looking around at the soups and other dishes people were ordering, everything seemed consistently huge. We definitely ordered too much food for two people! The Com Tam was pretty good overall. I especially enjoyed the tau hu ky and cha, and the soup on the side was really tasty too. The thit nuong was good, although I've had versions I personally prefer elsewhere. It might not be the best com tam I've ever had, but I do think it's one of the best options in the area and a very solid choice if you're craving it. The Banh Beo was also good and came on a much larger plate than I'm used to, although I've had more memorable banh beo at other spots. Nothing we had was bad by any means, and I enjoyed the meal overall. I had a great experience at Com Tam Kieu and would absolutely come back. Next time I really want to try one of their soups, and I'll definitely be much more prepared for how generous the portions are!

The pho was delicious, the Thai tea was worth the wait, and we'll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the outstanding customer service!

The crispy roll added a nice bite to it, and the nước chấm was really good--just a little spicy, not too sweet and not too salty. The meats were very tender and flavorful, especially the lemongrass chicken, and nothing tasted overcooked or burnt despite being charbroiled. They're also really generous with the meat portions! I definitely underestimated how filling these would be--by the second roll I was already getting full, and by the fourth my jaw was getting a workout because the wrapper is chewy Service was very friendly and the place has a comfortable, homey feel. They take your order at the table, then you go up front to pay. Plenty of parking in the lot, plus it's next to Paris Baguette, Bonchon, Half & Half and other spots, so there's a little something for everyone nearby. Definitely coming back!

This small family run Pho place exceeded my expectations! Here staying at the Sheraton next door…read moreand was craving for Pho and decided to try this place as it was literally a 3 minute walk from the hotel. The first thing that caught my attention was that they had a limited menu for a Pho place which tells me that these are the best dishes that they make at home that they want their customers to try! So I saw that they had Pho Ga so I had to try it. OMG!! It was so delish, the broth was well seasoned and balanced, great amount of chicken and they had this side condiment of ginger, fish sauce, lime dipping sauce that just added so much depth and umami Either you can pour this dipping sauce to your Pho or what I did was dipped my chicken and slurpped it down with my noodles and broth and it was BOMB!! Then they have crab meat egg roll which was also very good but could have added just a tinge of saltiness to just make it a home run!! Service was quick, few tables inside and will definitely come back here again and try the other Bun Bo Hue and hainan chicken. So if you're around SGV, this is a must try Pho place!!

The broth is perfectly seasoned and really ties the whole bowl together. I always ask to skip the blood cubes and opt for extra pig's feet instead, which they handle perfectly. The ratio of tender meat to fresh vegetables balances the noodles beautifully, and the satay is an absolute must-add to hit that savory umami flavor profile. All in all, I have no complaints. It's an incredibly satisfying meal, especially after a long night out with friends.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

The most recent time I came here is Labor Day Monday at 12pm which is the WORST time to come because it's extremely busy/crowded and there's so many people waiting in line. We have 10 people ahead of us when we got there. If possible, sign up for the Yelp waitlist long before you come during prime hours (if you are able to). We got the bun rieu, the hu tieu, and the pho ga. For the appetizers, we got the spring rolls and the banh beo. We also got one order of com tam to go. Total without tip came out to be $99. We had three people and realistically, that's way too much food. We ended up taking one of the noodle dishes to go and half orders of the spring rolls and banh beo to go as well. However, all very tasty, not too oily which is great! And overall pretty decent lunch. Only downside is the line and to be honest, I would not stand in line for this restaurant but my aunt really wanted to come here for the bun mam. Which also ironically she didn't even get to eat it this time around because they only offer it on Saturdays and Sundays. FYI - Go to the other location on Garvey if you want bun mam. I believe they offer it daily.

There are lots of parking. The restaurant looks like they have been renovated since I came a year ago. We ordered a selection of dishes to share, including the chicken rice, bun beo etc. everything tasted good, but on the more expensive side. They don't give enough veggie and said it would cost more for additional lettuce. That is not typical for a Vietnamese restaurant.

Com Tam is decent, rice texture is on point. Pork chop is marinated well but not enough lemongrass flavor, tender and not dry at all.

Not much mung bean either after stirring it literally for about 4 seconds the mung bean basically disintegrated into the liquid. The liquid.. watered down skim milk, not a trace of coconut flavor anywhere. I didn't know you can mess up Che Ba Mau until I had it from here.

When they asked if we wanted BBQ beef, pork, or BBQ chicken, we asked them what they suggested, and they mentioned BBQ chicken. We had also grabbed food from other establishments along Valley Blvd, so we only ordered the 1 item along with the Chè Ba Màu. The prices are most definitely welcomed in this day and age and the ingredients are quality. I am thinking about the delicious food as I type this review. There are plenty of seating on the inside, and the service was great. I was greeted as I stepped into the restaurant. Parking is a bit difficult to find, but we were lucky since it was a week day and we were able to find street parking.
