Food 3/5: Braised fish was flavorful and delicious. Sweet and sour soup was perfectly season and hot! The preserved vegetables were a bit too sour for my liking but the jelly fish salad was great! Service 4/5: Staff was nice and helpful! Ambiance 4/4: Plenty of seating and space. Nice overall environment. read more

Great value for your dollar!! This cozy Vietnamese restaurant has an extensive menu but most people come here for the set family menu. For the price, you get so much food and the food is very good. Husband and I usually get the two-person set and we often can't finish the dinner set. Last time we came we decided to get a la carte items: vermicelli with grilled pork sausage and egg rolls plus a rice dish. My noodles came with very generous portions of grilled sausage (nem nuong) and egg rolls. They also give a complimentary dessert (Vietnamese che) after your meal. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I have been dining at this restaurant since I was a little girl. When I used to live here, I would go weekly with my family. It is a traditional authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They have really good family style set meals which is what we always order. We ordered the 6 items set menu for $55 (serves around 4 people) which is soo worth it and the portions are so generous. They have smaller family style sets for cheaper. We always have extra and take it togo. It comes with sweet and sour tamarind catfish (my #1 favorite), caramelized catfish soup (you can switch it to pork), fried fish (or you can do salted shrimp), and choice of salad so we got the jellyfish pork shrimp cucumber salad (can also switch for chicken salad). Their fish sauce is soo good. They have complimentary pickled mustards greens as an appetizer and this delicious coconut dessert to finish off the dinner. They don't charge for rice refills either. Service is very quick and efficient. The kind servers basically know us and have our order memorized to a T haha. We don't even have to tell them our order anymore and they always account for my peanut allergy. I cannot stop raving about this restaurant and ALWAYS stop by when I am in town. I believe they are cash only and have their own designated parking lot/street parking. read more

We came for lunch and got the 4 person special. Not crazy busy and the food came quick. Service was great and the place was quiet. We got goi, canh chua, ca kho, and salt pepper shrimp. Everything was bomb, would definitely come back. read more

Tried this place recently and the food here is delicious! Service staff is great and super friendly. Food came over in a timely manner and they got pretty busy after 7:30 pm. Catfish clay pot and the soup was my favorite. Their chicken salad is also really delicious. read more

We always come here for their catfish set Menu. This is a pretty specific menu that isn't really offered elsewhere (that I know of). The meal starts with a salad of some sort (varies between jellyfish or a shrimp and pork), deep fried pomfret, braised caramel catfish (or pork) dish, Vietnamese tamarind soup with catfish, deep fried shrimp, and brined greens. Previously, you could refill the broth for the soup, but this may have been taken advantage of. You now can refill the broth for an additional cost. Always a satisfying meal. read more

Used to come here a decade ago when it was super busy. Traditional Southern Vietnamese food. Ample free parking in the back. We had to exchange some "clean" dishes since they were dirty with food particles. Always get the Cơm Phần Gia Đình or Family Meal. We got the Cơm Phần 2 Người or Served 2 persons for $27. The Canh Chua Cá or Hot & Sour Fish Soup was very flavorful. The Cá Kho Tộ or Salted Fish in Clay Pot tasted great with the white rice. The Gỏi Sữa or Jelly Fish Sour Salad had no jelly fish, it had sliced pork. The Dưa Chua or Preserved Sour Vegetable was very tasty and crispy. We also got the Bò Lúc Lắc or Diced Beef Steak French Style for $11.95. Interesting the dish tasted sweet. We got a drink that was pretty good for about $4. They gave us complimentary desserts, which tasted similar to the drink. Overall, we would come back if we were craving traditional Vietnamese food. read more

Used to come here when I was younger and I remember enjoying the food here. I recently visited this restaurant again because I was craving for vietnamese food specifically broken rice. I would say they have a good variety of what kind of rice plate you want. The one I ordered came with beef and egg. Like any traditional vietnamese broken rice, there was a small side of cucumbers and pickled veggies. However, I was a little disappointed that this restaurant does not serve soup on the side when ordering broken rice so after eating several bites of the rice, it was difficult to swallow. Overall, the experience was okay - the price was good considering they give a generous amount of rice and toppings. I would definitely come back here again to try out their Pho and other noodle soups. read more

My family like to come here when we're craving for authentic Vietnamese food that comes with many dishes like canh chua, ca kho, and Vietnamese chicken salad. Portions are pretty good and will feed your whole family, We just prefer this when we want something that's feels like home. I grew up eating these dishes when my mom used to cook us a feast everyday. The waiter is super nice and very accommodating so we like to come back because of the service too. Ambiance is okay a little outdated but not too bad. read more

What's up: Lunchtime with the coworkers! We were all hungry and trying to figure out where to go to eat and this place was suggested. Authentic Vietnamese food? Let's go!! Parking: Small parking lot in the back of the building that's shared among the nearby businesses. No issues finding a spot during weekday lunch hour. Environment: We parked in the back and walked in through the side entrance. There were booth seating as well as regular table/chair seating. No wait for us. Food came fairly quick. When finished with your meal, you'll pay at the counter. Restrooms are located to the right of the pay counter. What was ordered: - Family Meal for 4 people: Hot and Sour Soup with Catfish, Catfish in Clay Pot, Chicken Salad, Fried Shrimp, Preserved Sour Vegetable (everything was yummy. Loved the Catfish in Clay Pot and the Chicken Salad) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food was good. I enjoyed trying the different food in the family meal and we had more than enough food for the group. It also comes with a bowl of dessert soup. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Great taste and affordable Vietnamese comfort food. friendly and quick service. really bring vietnam restaurant atmosphere.

This is my favorite spot for an authentic, "home-cooked" Vietnamese meal. The Canh Chua is a total standout--flavorful every single time. The service is always fast and efficient, making it the perfect reliable go-to for a quick lunch or a comforting dinner. I usually do Com Phan when going with my families or Com Tam when on my own. Definitely a local gem! read more

We ordered the combo from here that came with all the items you see in the photos, plus a side of eggroll. Price: 5/5 This place offers combo meals for two, four, six, and eight people. It is super affordable and very filling. I believe the four person combo is now around $46 which is about $12 per person. It comes with five dishes, a side of rice, and dessert at the end. I would recommend getting this over the individual orders. Food: 5/5 The food was bursting with flavor. My favorite was the thit kho (clay pot pork). The sauce was sweet, salty, and umami and it goes so well with a bowl of warm rice. The soup was very nostalgic for me because it reminded me of my mom's cooking. The egg rolls that we ordered on the side were crispy and flavorful as well. Finally, the salad was also a great contrast to the hearty meal. Service: 5/5 The service was amazing. The servers were really attentive and brough out extra chilis for us. They let us substitute some of the dishes. And the food came out quick. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is little hidden. The parking in the back is a little sketchy so we did street parking. But once you get inside, it looks like a cute ma and pa shop. read more

Highly recommended! Very authentic. I love the taste and the atmosphere here, feels like home for sure. Awesome service, servers were so nice and friendly. I would come back with my family. read more

Food- not worth your money. Check out our order of jelly fish salad in our photo. WTF. Called to ask if the order was just incorrectly prepared... waiter just said we only place a few pieces in it. Ok so call in shredded cucumber.... And lower the damn price or just say we don't sell it. It's the dishonesty that's not working for me. Literally one small one-inch of jelly fish. So bad. If you take out, you'll need to add ingredients to make it good. This place just doesn't care anymore. read more

We are back again. Thank goodness this unique Vietnamese restaurant is still open. I don't mind driving from Covina to Rosemead just to have a chance to eat the the delicious authentic home-cooked Vietnamese dishes nowhere to be found in LA county. My favorite to order is the $50.00 combo for 4 that comes with steamy rice, hot & sour soup with mix vegestables, choice of fish or shrimp, pork in claypot (kho to), fried crispy pompano fish , chicken salad, preserve sour vegestable salad. Of course I took home all left over food. Highly recommended. Try something unique and delicious. read more

This is authentic Vietnamese food even though it's being run by Chinese Vietnamese. We got a combo set for just my dad and I. The pricing is great too $27 for the fish soup, fish, chicken salad, pickled veggies and rice. The service is fast and food comes out fast as well. It's a small place but everything is great. I haven't been back here in a while, almost forgot about it. Glad I came back! read more

Ever wonder where your Vietnamese parents go for a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day? It's here. If you don't believe me, come by on a weekend night -- the place is packed with Vietnamese baby boomers. They've been open for nearly 30 years. From my parents' first dates to now, with kids of my own, three generations of my family are still enjoying their famous Cá Kho Tộ. There's something timeless about it -- simple, nostalgic, and full of flavor. read more

We come here for their Hủ tiếu Mỹ tho + tàu hũ ky. You HAVE to order it with a side of their tàu hũ ky (fried shrimp paste wrapped in tofu skin). My mom and I go here once a month to fix our craving. The noodles are done perfectly. Some places make them way too vinegary. It comes with dried noodles but has soup on the side for you. They have a massive menu with items ranging from pho to 6 course family style meals. Its usually pretty empty when we come here. Service here is typical of a mom and pop shop. Don't walk in here expecting service you'll get from a fine dining place. Cash only. At the end of your meal they'll bring out a serving of viet dessert for free! read more

Tan Khai Hoan - Dinner for 2 for $26 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rosemead, California

Yummy Vietnamese food with family special deals. They're known for their Canh Cua, a Vietnamese Sour Soup that comes in a hot pot. It is delicious! It's slightly sour and sweet from the pineapple and tomato they add, and there is okra and some other Vietnamese herbs. It comes with either shrimp or catfish. Pairs really well with their side dishes too - you can choose from caramelized pork or catfish in a clay pot. We got the two person family special with the Catfish Canh Cua and the Thit Koh (Caramelized Claypot Braised Pork). It came with rice and a side of chicken salad plus pickled veggies. The catfish was very soft, and the caramelized pork pairs nicely with the soup and rice. The food was delicious and well balanced with ample veggies and protein. The two of us still could not finish everything as it was a good portion. All of this was only 25 bucks. There is a small parking lot in the back with ample space Servers friendly and wear masks Credit card Accepted read more

This is one of my go to Vietnamese restaurant. It's a hole in the wall place between San Gabriel and Rosemead area. I always come in when I am craving for comfort food. The family dinner is always my go to order. Chicken salad is very refreshing. Cat fish soup is sour and a bit spicy, but it is surprisingly smoothing! The clay pot fish is the best, and I always request for more source! The fish was never over cooked. The fish and the source are perfectly match. I am not a big fan of bo luc lac. The meat was very dry, and portion was small. Not worth the money you pay. Restaurant is clean, and staff are attentive. Service was fast. Just don't expect very nice ambient, and friendly staff who will chat with you. Will continue to support local business. read more

Caramelized catfish is their best. they are packed with Vietnamese seniors on weekend nights. don't know why they have bad reviews, i like everything about this place, quick service, friendly servers, great food, complimentary dessert, and cheapest price in town. they have not up their price recently while most restaurant already did. totally recommended read more

A hidden gem. If you've come upon this review you have to try it. This place offers value and quality food. The value is the sour soup family meals- we alternate between the two people ($30) and the four people ($50) meals. The difference with the four people is of course bigger portions and an extra fried fish. It comes with a side of pickled mustard veggies, a choice between chicken cabbage salad or jellyfish salad, a braised catfish casserole (the saltier flavor profile) rice and a sour soup hot pot. The two people meal is perfect, but the four people meal is enough for three and left overs for the next day. The flavors is consistently good, my family frequents this place quite often. I also like seeing employees who work there for years. She is always happy and knows what we like when we're there. read more

This is my family togo spot for Canh Chua. We always get the 4-person meal set where it includes the sweet sour veggie fish soup, marinated fish, fried fish, and a side dish of classic semi pickled vegetable (its a classic vietnamese appetizer that I don't remember the name for). We usually swap the appetizer for the meat cubes instead. The soup is the best here as it not too pinapply or sweet. I like it more on the umami sour side. It also has a good portion of catfish inside The meat cubes are a nice appetizer where you can eat it with the veggies it comes with and just tip it in salt pepper with lemon. The marinated fish is super good too as the sauce goes with everything you can take it home and eat it with porridge if you have leftovers, so good. For the fried fish, they give you ginger fish sauce that goes well with the skin yum yum. All these for under $100 is very good. The ladies are also really nice they mainly speak vietnamese but will also try to help in English if you have any questions. read more

Honestly.. I don't understand why this place is only 3 stars! Maybe it's the fact that I grew up eating here and I love their combo dinner for 2. The portion size is amazing and everything is just so tasty! Not to mention, it includes all of my favorite foods. The combo dinner for 2 comes with sour soup, fish in clay pot, pickled vegetables, chicken (shrimp?) salad with fish sauce, and I also order a side of rice. Yum! I'm salivating just thinking about it. It says dinner for 2 but this actually feeds my dad, sister, and I plus even maybe another meal because of the leftovers... so worth it! But then again, my sister and I do not eat that much and the fish portion can be lacking.. some days I get more fish and other days there are only like 3 pieces! There is parking in the back and since it's covid, there are also plenty of side parking spots where you can just drop by really quickly to pick up the food. This place also changed their name but I'm not sure how long ago (maybe like 5+ years ago). I remember it used to be called My Dung. Just a side tip, you should cut a cucumber on the side and use this to dip into the clay pot fish... sooo good and refreshing! I love this place! read more

Prepare to be transported back to the 90s and assaulted with fish sauce smell when you come in. The decor doesn't seem to have changed at all But if you're coming here you probably don't care. This place is an insanely good value. And idk the decor gives me a sense of nostalgia so I lik This place is known for its com phan or shared family meal. The lowest tier one is recommended for two people and is $26.99 can comes with goi, canh chua ca, and ca kho with cai muji dua. So a shredded cabbage and carrot salad, sour fish soup, clay pot braised catfish, a pot of rice, and dessert. The shredded cabbage and carrot salad had a really nice crunch and acidity. It has shredded chicken bits in it and is tossed in fish sauce. It was addicting. The canh chua I didn't try but my parents enjoyed it. Be patient and let the soup come to a simmer in front of you. We were impatient so we kept opening the lid to Che k ok. The fish and that meant it took longer to warm up and cook. I think the fish comes half cooked. It needs to finish cooking in the hot pot they bring to your table. It's an open flame so we careful if you have kids with you. Lastly the ca kho with Cai muoi dua. The Kay fish was bubbling in its caramel used sauce. It was tender and the skin still soft. Perfect with a bowl of rice. Use the pickled greens/ Cai muoi dua to scrape up the carmelized sauce on the pot. So the cool thing is if you're not a fan of a certain protein, you can swap it out for another one. The salad was originally supposed to be with jellyfish. For the sour soup you can get shrimp instead and and for the carmelized clay for fish you can get a pork version. So me, in not a big fan of the sour soup canh chua and I knew I was just going to pick at the fish a bit and have some salad so I got Com tam thit nuong cha tau hu ky. So I'm gonna tell you know, broken rice dish I had was nothing to write home about EXCEPT for the tau hu ky part. The tau hu ky was the star of the dish. I should have known since they sell it by itself. Shrimp paste wrapped in bean curd and fried to perfection. Still crisp. Good shrimp to bean curd ration. Not super oily. The grilled pork was okay. The cha/meatloaf was kinda disappointing. I don't think people order that much. It's my favorite thing and this wasn't the place for it. read more

$25 for 4 courses for 2?! Tan Khai Hoan is a hidden gem in Rosemead. When I was in college, a lot of my friends thought Vietnamese food was just pho so I had to bring them to try other dishes. Vietnamese catfish dishes are my favorite. If you want a great intro to homestyle Viet cooking, I highly recommend Tan Khai Hoan! While it only has 3 stars on yelp, honestly, I feel that authentic Asian places are usually 3 stars. They're usually cheap and no frills, but FULL FLAVOR. This 2 person set meal (which can feed up to 3 people IMO) includes: Preserved pickled mustard greens Jellyfish or Chicken Salad (I chose jellyfish) Braised Catfish or Pork Claypot (I chose catfish) Sour Soup catfish or shrimp (catfish for me) Dessert We were stuffed afterward! The restaurant was also packed with locals. It's definitely not a fancy place, but the food is yummy so give it a try!
