    Cơm tấm bì thịt nướng trứng ốp la
    Nguyen Anh Mio D.

    Authentic hometown flavors! Unfortunately, there's no air conditioning, so it's very hot during lunch hours. The grilled meat portions were also quite small. I hope the restaurant can improve these points. Quán thiếu máy lạnh đi buổi trưa nắng nóng oi bức và thịt nướng thì quá ít, mong sẽ có sự cải thiện! hương vị quê nhà!

    One of the best com tam spots! Service was friendly and very fast. Portion was good size! we had the dac biet & the suong bo.

    Had to update my review since I came back with my boyfriend's family and they definitely improved on portion size and presentation! I got Com Tam Suon Op La and was full by the time I reached half of my meat. I ate some of my boyfriend's Cha and Tau Hu Ky and they were definitely still drier than I'd like. I'm glad we gave this place another chance because I wouldn't mind coming back if I wanted a quick bite.

    Pork sausage, grilled beef, egg cake, white rice to go
    Cindy J.

    Love the food here. Their meals are flavorful and meat is juicy. Their egg cake is a decent size and not overly greasy. The texture is great and not rubbery either. Service here is quick and friendly and they have plenty of seating and parking. It can get a bit loud inside with larger crowds. I recommend the choose your meats entrees. I love the pork sausage, egg cake and grilled beef. Hubby also loves the shredded pork. They also offer buy 2 get 1 free meals and they have a great variety of meals to choose from. Restaurant is clean and can get pretty busy on the weekends. We will definitely be back again as it is one of our favorite places and since their other location closed down, this will be our new spot. They even had a gentleman playing a small keyboard and singing the day we went. They also offer orders to go.

    One of the best com tam I had for awhile and even though i ordered to go .. Everything that came with the rice was delicious and fulfilling .

    Bun thit nuong
    Dan P.

    Bun Thit Nuong - meat is on the sweeter side so I think the sauce isn't really necessary. I'm not a big fan of the pickled radish and daikon - it was just plain sweet instead of sweet/sour. Overall, it's ok but wouldn't recommend going here for this. Staff were friendly and food came out quick. Easy parking, shop located in plaza with lots of desert and other quick eats.

    Cơm Tấm Quê Hương is easily my favorite spot for cơm tấm. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is fast and friendly. Everything hits the spot. Definitely the place I recommend to anyone for cơm tấm.

    $17 plus $1 up charge. It's not even half full. All veggies no protein and the sauce was watery. Shame on this business. RUDE

    Prejudice for $1 lol. I went in, I needed to use the bathroom so I bought a plate that was $17. I asked if I can use the restroom but I'll buy something. She immediately yelled and said "what do you want to buy?" And I was like.. can I see a menu? She stood there and I had to grab the menu myself. Thank you. So I paid for the meal and she proceeds to tell me that they have to charge $1 for ordering noodles. For me it's like take the dollar, to have the audacity to be rude and try and get an extra dollar out of me. That's pretty pathetic if you have to make up an excuse to charge me for ordering something specific on your menu. Mind you. It's 10 am,. They are open and it's not like I'm ordering from a lunch or dinner menu that's outside of the breakfast menu. Keep your dollar. Bad customer service.. I got my food. It's half full. I saw the food that was coming out to the other customers and the portion size was 2x more for about the same prices as all of their menu items. I gave the food to a homeless person. I don't even want to try it.

    Bun cha Hanoi
    Trina D.

    My husband and I were in the area. We were hungry. The place across the parking lot had closed so we wandered into Com Tam Que Huong. As with most Vietnamese places, the menu is long but the specialty of the house is in the name of the restaurant. However, I'm not the biggest fan of com tam so I ordered Bun cha Hanoi and my husband ordered Bun bo xao. My Bun cha came out in record time and I was very happy with it. My husband tried his food and said it was ok. The restaurant looked like it hadn't had a dusting in quite some time. I went to use the restroom and it was okay. I saw someone in the back rinsing dishes. But shortly afterwards, I went home and felt ill. I'm not 100% sure it was from dining here but that's the only thing I can think of to make my stomach turn. It might have been the fresh herbs but I didn't think I'd feel that way in a restaurant in SoCal. TLDR; Food was okay, but I felt sick after an hour.

    Vivian C.

    The menu is very big with alot of different combinations . The restaurant is clean, The broken rice is kind of special, smell so good, enough moisture and dry enough as Com Tam should be , pork grilled is well marinated , You can choose choices of chicken, pork, or beef comes with soup and fish sauce. Reasonable price for the portion.

    Receipt

    Beware on price when you paid ..making sure you ask for receipt and compare it with the price they have listed on the menu. I was there and they over charged me when I asked, they said the price on menu was old and have not fix yet..then the owner took menu away and had an attitude toward me..this is second time they over charged me. On top of that I paid them cash and I don't know if they report tax on cash flows with IRS but on my receipt tax was included in it.

    Com Tam Thit Nuong
    Cathy P.

    Love the com tam from here. We've been getting our combos from here regularly. Their grilled pork always has the perfect charring and the flavor is on point. I love the crispy pork fat bits thay come with the meat. The fried egg adds extra creaminess to the meal and their nuoc mam is superb. A single order is enough to make 2 meals for me, which is solid. Definitely a hidden gem.

    Com tam thịt nuong

    Pathetic portion! I wanted just com tam thit nuong for my son. I didn't want the bi or cha. At least compensate! Never ever again! I'll stick to Com Tam Xi Gon. That's what I get for being too lazy to drive to Xi Gon. I thought since I am already in that plaza, let's give this place a chance. Utterly disappointing!

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

    We had initially passed Oc & Lau Restaurant a few months back when we were getting dessert nearby…read more We were definitely intrigued by the amount of people waiting outside and could see through the window all the food on the table. After a quick look at the menu, we knew this was someplace we would enjoy. We were in town on a Sunday evening and knew we wanted to check it out. With the two locations, we got on the Yelp waitlist knowing they were both nearby each other. (Our mistake was not getting on the waitlist earlier, so we did have a wait a good while.). We had perused other Yelper reviews and had a list in mind of what we wanted. Definitely take the time to look at the menu beforehand because it is long and extensive. Right off the bat, out of razor clams! Bummer. Nonetheless, we still got a bunch of things. * Grilled King Scallop with Fish Eggs $27 - Nicely cooked. 4/5 * Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter & Peppercorn $16 - Yum! 5/5 * Mango Squid Salad $14 - This was noted in so many reviews, and it did not disappoint. We ended up getting a second order! 5/5 * Crabs & Shrimp Fried Rice $17 - I was not a fan. It was just fried rice, nothing special. It lacked seasoning and definitely needed the accompanying sauce. 3/5 * Deep Fried Smelt Fish $15 - Another winner! I haven't seen smelt fish this large before and it was so good, we got a second order. 5/5 * Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves $14 - This came in a pot with such a delicious sauce. I would have loved some noodles or something to eat all that sauce up with. 5/5 * Spicy Seasoned Grilled Shrimp $17 - This shrimp were a good size and did not disappoint. 4/5 * Escargot with Tamarind $15 - Our least favorite of the escargots we ordered. It wasn't bad, just okay. 3/5 * Complimentary dessert - I have no idea what was in this che beyond coconut cream and rice, but it was pretty good. I probably would have ordered it. Service was okay. Because they are so busy, they definitely do try to rush you out. We were still eating and someone came and brought dessert to our table. Mind you, we were literally still putting food in our mouths and I looked at the waitress perplexed. We told her we were still eating and going to order more, so she took the dessert away. There's definitely this anxiousness about the staff to turn over the tables, which I get with the long lines. But I think they could have addressed it a bit differently by simply asking instead of assuming.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.

With a more balanced amount of ginger, it could be excellent. Also, the broth a bit sweet. One thing I really appreciated was that they served culantro with pho. That's definitely a plus for me, as not many pho restaurants offer culantro, and I think it adds a great touch to the dish. The staff was also friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, I enjoyed the pho and would definitely be interested in trying their other dishes next time.
