Another Com Tam joint added to my list! I won't ever get tired of Com Tam; it's such an amazing comfort dish for when I'm feeling down or a bit nostalgic. Cheap, filling, and quick; it's an amazing dish that people from all backgrounds should try! Came here with a few friends for a quick meal before the club. It's obviously your typical Vietnamese restaurant and we were seated immediately. The owners were friendly, but take that with a grain of salt since I speak Viet. Menu is Com Tam, along with side dishes and a few appetizers. Prices range from $12-15 due to inflation but the portions are huge, along with the fact that the food comes out in an instant.
If you're in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine, this is a great place to try. My parents are big fans and consider it one of their favorite spots. The portions are generous, and the BBQ pork chop is delicious, while the crispy bean curd was also a pleasant surprise. I usually stick to the BBQ pork chop, but I was happy to give the crispy bean curd a go—it was crunchy, and I ended up really enjoying it. My rice plate came with a fried egg as well as an egg cake. I ordered the #1 broken rice plate, which included four different types of meat, soup, rice, an over-easy egg, and an egg cake. That one order was more than enough for 2-3 meals!
Not sure what happened but the quality of the food has gone down drastically since two years ago. The grilled meat (thit nuong) was much too salty and also very tough like it was grilled more than once. The shredded pork skin (bi) had an unpleasant odor like it's been left over for several days old. Thankfully, the pork cake (cha) was ok, otherwise I would have rated this place 1 star. Restaurant owners should try their food to see if they would even eat the food they serve to customers. Big thumbs down.
What this place lacks in decoration, it makes up for it in the presentation of the food. The meat is actually grilled which was nice. The hot tea is by Stasen can't go wrong with Stasen Jasmine Green Tea. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.Recommendation to the staff: Bring out the soup, hot, along with the food not before the food comes out or it will be cold by the time your guests start eating. Maybe add some Vietnamese cultural art to the walls along with some bamboo curtains for the windows.

Tau hu ky is my favorite part of com tam and they didn't disappoint. I ordered for to go. Three orders of Suon nuong woth cha and tau hu ky. My parents ended up eating theirs the day after and My mom complained that it doesn't taste as good after a day in the fridge. I took my leftovers to work the next day and it tastes fine to me. To each his own so I guess keep that in mind it may be better fresh if you're picky. I'll still come back though.
The grilled pork is good but I take off 2 points for getting my order wrong (I ordered grilled pork with the chả cua but got bì instead and got charged extra .50 for using credit card (this is very small amount but quite annoying, especially the way the owner explained the charge- because you get cash back from your credit card ! . I prefer broken rice at Thiên Hao much better.
This is the best broken rice (com tam) restaurant in Orange County. The customer service is excellent, and the food is fantastic!
Com Tam is the best in Orange County! In addition to that, the restaurant is very clean and offers excellent service.
