Couldn't decide where for dinner and ended up back to my usual Vietnamese restaurant! They had not disappointed me with their wide variety of dishes. Come and expect long lines outside unless you are here for early dinner or late lunch. Sign in sheet at the door! Parking in front is limited so parking is available in the rear. Countryside feeling decor and vibes. Staffs are attentive and friendly. read more

This place has gone downhill from the food presentation to the taste. I used to enjoy eating here, but after today's experience, I'll never be back. I paid $24 for the plate shown in the photo, and it was an absolute rip-off. I ordered grilled pork (thịt nướng), but they served me a pork chop instead. To make matters worse, the portion was ridiculously small, just one tiny pork chop. Charging $24 for a plate like this is unacceptable. I paid $18 for a much more bigger portion elsewhere. I understand that food costs have increased, but that's no excuse for serving the wrong item and giving customers such a tiny portion for that price. I'm not sure if this restaurant is under new ownership or new management, but whoever is running it needs to seriously reconsider how they're running their business. If this is the new standard, don't expect repeat business. Save your money and eat somewhere else read more

Watch your credit cards with this place. This is the second time they charged double plus tip. If capital one didn't ask if I tipped 120%, I wouldn't have known. But at the same time, you can't dispute because nobody keeps some little 2 inch receipt a week later... read more

I've started coming here when it first opened up back in 2010 when I was a high school senior. Fast-forward 15 years later, and it's still as good as ever! I stopped coming between 2014 till now because I moved out from this town and have tried other places nearby. But today I was craving com tam and I remembered this place is still around so I came back here to eat it. My #58 dish dish was delicious. It has sausage, pork, and a side of sunny-side up egg. The rest of my party ordered bun bo hue, which is good and flavorful. Another one ordered the com tam bi cha suon and tasted great. There's plenty of parking here. Shared in a plaza with an acupuncture and dentist office, and other offices around. Service was quick and attentive. Typical of any Vietnamese restaurants. read more

Saturday January 13th 2024 7:30PM Parking: not a problem. Service: Nice people but they don't speak much English and it would definitely help to bring someone that speaks Vietnamese. Once you're inside you will be greeted and seated right away. The place is clean and music videos from the one tv in the back is very loud. There are forks, chopsticks, a napkin dispenser and spoons along side with condiments at the table. Our server did his best to understand what we wanted to order and brought it out quickly. Restrooms are in the back side near the tv. "Phõod" here is good and comes out piping hot! I like both hot of the hot sauces here[they aren't the best but pretty good]. The cost for phõ is about $15 plus tax. The whole menu seems a bit pricy but it's worth coming since you don't have to wait long for service and food & don't forget that the food comes out pleasantly hot. Definitely will come back since it's kind of hidden away from other spots that can get bus read more

Went last night and the food was really bland and found a hair in my soup the waitress was very rude the moment we walked in as if mad to have customers even tho we where the only ones in restaurant and the moment we sat down the waitress just sat on her phone and didn't take our order for 20 minutes even tho we where the only customers overall not a good experience and wouldn't recommend it read more

Compared to golden deli (which is popular for com tam) this place was so much better! Portions and serving was great for the price. We two difference rice plates and a noodle soup. I don't eat pork so the owner (or manager) offered me a beef soup instead, she said to keep hydrated. So thoughtful. Inside is a typical Vietnamese place with old school decor. But everyone is veryi nice. read more

I wanted to try another Vietnamese restaurant in the San Gabriel area besides King Com Tam, so my friend recommended me his childhood spot: Com Tam Ninh Kieu. I ordered the special plate for 20.99, which gives your choice of meat: beef, ribs, or porkchop. I decided to choose the porkchop, and the food came out in less than 5 minutes :). The service was super attentive and excellent here, and they give complimentary hot ox tail soup as well. The portion sizes are huge and are enough to find 3-4 people solely, and their ingredients of the pork skin are flavorful and plentiful. The porkchop had a nice sauce to it, and the addition of fish sauce and chili oil really complimented the dish. My total came out to be about $24.00, which was very reasonable. Note: They don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure you have card or cash ready. Highly recommend for Vietnamese lovers in the area! read more

I usually enjoy mom and pop Asian restaurants and tried this place for dinner. Was sorely disappointed with quality of both the pho and Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee with condensed was just served in a styrofoam cup and not in the drip cup that is usually served and the restaurant had the audacity to charge $5 for that crap. Pho barely had any noodles and only 3 pieces of meat. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Going strictly on memory, this is the type of restaurant I want to re-visit again and again. First of all not to worry the staff speaks enough english to make ordering and asking questions easy. We had pho, egg rolls and spring rolls and some com tam (broken rice dish) The restaurant was so clean and looks like it was recently remodeled. The menu also has so many options to chose from and the prices are actually very reasonable compared to some other places. The menu does say prices are 1 dollar more than what is printed on the menu. read more

Com Tam Ninh Kieu - Time to eat! - Vietnamese Near Me - Rosemead, California

There's lots of competition in the 626 area for the best broken rice. I wouldn't say this is the best, but it's made fresh and hot. What do I mean by that? Well in the past, I've gone to a few Com Tam spots and a big turn off is when your food comes out at room temp. How hard is it to make hot food for your customers? Well Com Tam Ninh Kieu offer that beautiful balance of good flavors and every item is piping hot. Meat wasn't sitting under the hot lamp and the egg rolls are fresh off the fryer. I've never gotten a bad meal here. Also, if you want your coffee fix. Do try their strong iced coffee. Hopefully you can sleep after that drink. read more

Got the house special noodle soup and the egg rolls for takeout. The noodles broken so easily and the texture was weird. The egg rolls were big and tasted decent but the hot egg rolls did melt the styrofoam box a bit. So I probably ate some of that melted styrofoam. The total was $30.64. Service was fast. read more

Growing up, I would always come here with my family. I loved how they had dishes with lots of side options. I remember back in the day, they would always complement the dish with a free glass of Nuoc Mat, which was artichoke ice tea, which they eventually stopped giving out. I remember as a kid that was my highlight of the place. The workers are super nice, it's ran by these aunties and uncles, which gave me a homey vibe. The place is very spacious so it can accommodate a big family if needed. I would always come here with a party of 12+ and they always made it work! Fast service and the food is delicious! I personally always get the 69, which is Com Tam Bi, Cha, Thit Suon Bo Dai han (broke rice with shredded pork skin, steamed egg, korean bbq ribs). I also would recommend tau hu ky (bean curd skin wrapped on shrimp), and the Chao tom (Vietnamese sugarcane shrimp) which is shrimp paste wrapped on a sugarcane and they grill it. It super sweet and savory. If you guys love those crispy shrimp balls THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING THOSE TWO SHRIMP SIDE DISHES with your Com Tam! read more

What in the world was I thinking? I've driven by this place many times the past two months since I've been down in the San Gabriel area visiting. I've noticed this place is often empty - No Customers! But there's plenty of parking spaces too, so it's not like the restaurant is hard to access. That alone should tell you there's something seriously wrong with the place. Anyway, I was invited by a family member to dine here for lunch. I couldn't refuse without being rude - well, I should have been rude. Came here around 2 PM today, got seated immediately as there's only one other customer. My mom, my aunt and me all ordered Banh Uot (Rice Rolls) with basically ham, fried shrimp bean curd and egg rolls. This was terrible! We waited almost 30 minutes for the dishes and we thought they were busy steaming the rice rolls. Nope! My mom caught them at the counter opening up one of those prepackaged rice rolls you buy at the store. And the Horror is that the lady at the counter used her bare hands to pick up and plate these rice rolls!! Where are the gloves or tongs? Absolutely Disgusting! Keep in mind, these rice rolls dishes took up two pages of their menu so they should have been prepared with ingredients to cook as well! SMH! People - Avoid this Place! They should be closed down! They don't actually make their food in house and they are so unclean! read more

Childhood favorite! Been eating here for almost 10 years, and I recommend their Com Tam Ninh Kieu special. Their special also comes with beef/pork broth. It's enough to feed more than two people, plus we always have leftovers! The people working here don't really speak English but you can just point at the item number/picture. The decor is just very old Vietnamese style but they recently just redecorated and got new furnitures. The parking situation here is super easy. This place is so much better than King Com Tam in price and portion size. read more

The staff's service is too bad. The food is so bad. Not delicious Will not go to this restaurant again.

I think the people are incredibly sweet. Personally not the best pho or broken rice place I've been to, but it's not bad. I would say it's pretty average. Pho 3/5: I would prefer a little more noodles, I took two big bites and it was basically all of it(we ordered a large). I don't think I would come here again for the pho (but, it's decent if you're here and craving it). Broken rice 4/5: I really enjoyed the broken rice and would come back for that. Give it a try if you're here, I think it may be the best on the menu. I would say it's average, maybe a bit better, but I'm bias, nostalgia plays a big factor for my favorites in the 626. I wouldn't say this is my go to Vietnamese resturant, but it's convenient. read more

Great food selection and price. The restaurant is spacy and staffs are friendly. Got bun thit nuong with chao tom, tasty

The place I used to go was closed, so gave this place a try. Some item from rice plate was too dry. Maybe was overcooked or from day before. My kid try the red rice with Cornish chicken, red rice look like it's burns and hard. Didn't dine in, was to go and saw people in kitchen just scoop soup in the togo container and microwave hot (maybe last week soup). read more

Broken rice venue -- This place has yummy broken rice plates and over 167 variations, combinations and permutations of broken rice, pho or salads. My take on Broken rice is basically white rice that is broken before cooking but it also implies it is served with some form of egg cake (quiche) or BBQ protein (pork chop, chicken, chinese sausage or meatballs). Pairing is some fresh shredded veggies, lettuce and shredded (cold deli) meat, including shrimp cake (meat loaf like). Add a fried egg for about $1 I've tried their spring rolls and they never disappoint. The place is huge and parking is plentiful. You get a complimentary small bowl of [bone] soup. Most items have green onions for garnishment or visual effect. If you're not into onions, ensure you ask ahead. I have not found a plate with a big boneless piece of BBQ meat like a big steak or chop, other than chicken. Most of the BBQ pieces are bite size for a good portion. With the BBQ taste a big Kansas Steak would be amazing. Maybe it"s me but sometimes the charbroiled is so intense I can almost taste the fuel. The service is efficient and the pricing is full of value ranging from $9.99 to $13.99 per dish. I ordered the $16.99 #167 and loved it! Here is my takeaway: If you're looking for broken rice in SGV this is the place~ Enjoy! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem! For years I would come here especially for their nem nuong cuon (#23. Charbroiled meatball 4 rolls) and any broken rice dish. The rolls are THEE best, even now when I live an hour away I would drive here to get it! I recently came by and noticed they renovated a lot, the inside looks more modern (new tables, seating, and light fixtures), and their plates are fancier. I love when a small business invest in itself! I highly recommend coming here for authentic Vietnamese food. read more

Have never visited this restaurant pre-covid so our experience is based on take-out. The menu was very extensive so we went with the Banh Uot Dac Biet (House Special) and the Com Tam Ninh Kieu 7 Mon "A" so we were able to try all their meats and choices. I was happy that I went with that option because the portion was big! The food was enough for 3 people. I went with the pork option for the broken rice and was hoping for more thit nuong (charbroiled pork) style but it was more like grilled pork. Love their bean curd skin w/ shrimp and their baked egg. I would definitely come back and order their other dishes like Banh Hot and Banh Canh because those are some of my favorite dishes. Also, there was definitely no shortage on nuoc mam (fish sauce). They gave us 4-5 containers worth of it! read more

My parents used to love coming here to get the broken rice with the 10 items. Cleanliness isn't the best here, but the food is decent. Not the best broken rice or pho I've ever had, but not a bad value and very local. I personally only get the com tam here to-go, and for the price, it's not a bad value. Flavor is decent and portion is good. Overall score: 3.5/5 read more

The spring rolls here are bomb. Big pieces of nem noung and the dipping sauce is good. My new favorite local spot for it

I love the food here! Every time when my parents are craving for com tam, we always call this place for take-out. Their food for take-out is in bigger portions than in-door dining. But I am giving 2 out of 5 stars, and here's why... Recently, I came to this restaurant to pick up our take-outs. Let's just say, the staff at this restaurant did not live up to the CDC guidelines amid the pandemic. When I went to go pick up my orders, I saw two staffs (one preparing my bun bo hue order, and the other was at the front desk) NOT wearing their face mask. That's so disgusting and very disrespectful to customers. Anywho, I ordered some com tam and bun bo hue. The com tam was already packed when I got there but was still in the process of making the bun bo hue. There were two staffs making the bun bo hue. One of them wore a mask, the other didn't. The staff who DID NOT wear a mask was talking a lot while preparing the food. I cannot believe that she had the audacity to pack the food and hand it to me. I told my boyfriend, who was waiting in the car, that I do not want to take the bun bo hue home because the order is contaminated. I did what I believed was the right thing to do. I told the cashier lady that I want a re-make of this order because one of the staff who was preparing the order did not wear a mask. The cashier lady asked the staff if it was true and she said yes. The original staff who prepped my order and wore a mask re-make the bun bo hue for me. This staff and the cashier lady apologized to me about it. But because of this experience, I am pretty hesitant about eating out again. read more

This is not a fancy restaurant but food is very tasty. My mom actually recommended this place. She often brings us food from this restaurant when she visits and we enjoy it very much. And now we go there too. They have dine in but I think they have a much bigger togo business. That's what we usually do. The ladies that work there, probably one of them is the owner are very courteous. We usually get our food pretty quickly after we order. They have a big selection in their menu from noodles to rice and bun. We love their banh hoi! For those who may want to dine in, their set up is like a typical Vietnamese restaurant, very casual for small or bigger groups. One thing to note is there are several locations with the same name so they will always want to make sure you are calling the right one which is the one on Valley near Rosemead. read more

It is a pricier vietnamese restaurant specializing in meat rice com tam dishes but well worth the quality. There is a minimum for card I believe as I had to use their indoor atm a few times (had to pay a transaction fee :( ) but the best way to describe their food is rich in quality and flavor. They do invest in their food ingredients and you can tell. However last i recall expect to spend 13- 16$ on average for a dish. Parking lot is pretty big im guessing 50-80 spots or more in their outlet mall parking but on busy afternoons it can get packed. Their is also street parking but it can take like maybe 5-7 cars. Night time you should have no problem finding a spot just during busy noon times especially on weekends. The restaurant has maybe 15-20 tables and small ~ 5 seater bar dining for solo eaters. The ambiance is slightly pleasant neon lighted glares with vietnamese music. read more

The staff's service is too bad. The food is so bad. Not delicious Will not go to this restaurant again.

Good news is you get Some serious portions served here, but not so good news is I've had better. This locations is close to my aunts house so it's convenient but for the most part the taste and quality lacks here. This place is mostly known for their broken rice dishes with diff combinations of meat. But there are other items available if you don't want a rice dish. If you dont see what you want on the menu, you can always make you're own by telling them what you want. We almost always get the combination meats because it's a little bit of everything. But if I had to choose or to recommend a type of meat, you can't go wrong with the charbroiled pork or beef. Chinese sausages are a little dry. Egg cakes and fried tofu cake aren't bad but I've had better. Everything else isn't really worth mentioning. Services like any other typical Vietnamese place, it lacks and could use some work. Im pretty sure we'll be back cause it's convenient, but way better places and portions in OC. read more
