CLOSED ON TUESDAYS! Com Tam Saigon at Katy Asian Town is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Houston area -- and the very first place I go when I land in town. I've been meaning to write a review for years! See my photos of the different meals I remembered to shoot. Anything you order, you can't go wrong! Everything here is consistently excellent. My go-to order is the Bún Thịt Nướng (B2) -- the grilled pork is perfectly seasoned and cooked, the noodles are light, and the vegetables are incredibly fresh. I also love the garden rolls with pork or shrimp. What really sets them apart are the sauces: tangy, balanced, and flavorful without being overly sweet. You can tell care is taken with every component. We've ordered family meals, various entrees and it never disappoints. Their soups are also outstanding -- comforting, deeply flavored, and exactly what you want alongside a Vietnamese meal done right. I bring family and friends here whenever I can, and everyone loves it. Their take out is quick and still as tasty. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, the prices are modest and fair, and the whole experience feels like a breath of fresh air compared to Los Angeles dining. Parking is plentiful, and while Katy Asian Town has many good spots, Com Tam Saigon is always my favorite. Reliable, delicious, welcoming -- this place never disappoints. Try it! read more

Banh Xeo is like one of my fave Vietnamese dishes!!It's a savory crepe with shrimp, bean sprouts, and pork belly! The crisp on the banh xeo was just perfect. I wish they put some more shrimp and less bean sprouts into the crepe. Overall still very yummy and so good with the vegetables!! read more

Com tam is our go to place when coming to Katy Asian town. The comfort food here just has the flavor I'm looking for. The service is such a home feeling and accommodating to my kids. It's a casual dine in mom and pop shop that deserves more attention. There's Vietnamese dishes like ca kho, canh chua, thit kho, your com tam (broken rice) dishes and more. My favorite appetizer is the nem cuon and banh khot. My family loves coming here because of the hospitality and authentic taste of Vietnamese food. read more

Wouldn't recommend, one of my worst com tám I've had. No flavor and lackluster quality. The meat was chewy, the rest of the toppings had no flavor. The chow mein didn't have flavor either. Wouldn't come back. read more

Adding this viet restaurant into the rotation! Super fresh and soo good! I have been here when it first came to Katy Asian Town and I wasn't that impressed but now coming again recently it got a lot better! Everything we ordered- -Shrimp paste rolls -Chicken fried rice -C1: Com Tam Saigon Dac Biet -Claypot chicken with lemongrass and chili My dad got the rice plate and said it was really good! It has a little bit of everything and he finished the whole thing lol I just wanted to eat fried rice and a little bit of the claypot chicken and it was really good as well!! The fried rice was super simple but it tasted very homey. The lemongrass chicken was super tender, had good spice, and the sauce was so good just to eat on plain rice too! Now the shrimp paste rolls were the best thing we ate! I have never had this before but I will definitely be ordering this every time I come here! It was crunchy, very shrimpy, and packed with so much flavor just on its own. I also dipped it in the sauce that it comes with and added chili paste. I don't know what the sauce was but it went really well with the shrimp paste! Definitely come try this place whenever you are in Katy Asian Town! I am still dreaming about those Shrimp paste rolls!! read more

If you are going to post a bad review for a restaurant at least put your name and own it. Not every restaurant is perfect. Even fine dining restaurants get bad reviews due to customer service, prices etc. Do not let some bad reviews deter you from dining here. We dined here last week and enjoyed some authentic Vietnamese food. The waitstaff were attentive and the food was good. We will definitely be back. read more

I'm Vietnamese so I'm familiar with our culture foods. But I wouldn't recommend this to any Vietnamese. 1-10: 1 being worst & 10 best. - food: negative 1 - service: Zero We had to keep on asking for service since they didn't check up on us at all. Three of us ordered Banh Xeo / Vietnamese Crepe, which comes with Shrimp & Pork, but no pork at all. Also suppose to come with Rice Paper, but here it was an extra $2 charge. Also each plate gets its own veggies but they gave us one plate for all three. We asked for more peanut and fish sauce, it would of costed an extra $1.50 each. One ordered Chicken Fried Rice for the kid, surely you can't get that wrong, unless you order it here. Lastly there was a total of 6 of us, and we were charged gratuity, definitely not a true Vietnamese tradition of hard workers. Also gratuity needs to be stated on the menu, table to by the server that gratuity is being added before you order. I worked at many restaurants, and gratuity is normally set for 8 or more people. read more

I'm a big fan of the spring rolls, nem nuong roll, and bo bia here but sadly the entrees are just mediocre. The com tam is decent if you're starving and wants something cheap and filling, but there are much better options in Bellaire. However, with the price increase, I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. The noodles soup, specifically bun mam and canh bun, are saturated with MSG. I gave in countless times and come here to eat instead of driving to Bellaire but I'm always suffering from severe dehydration after eating their noodle soups. One time, it was so bad that my throat closed up in the middle of grocery shopping right after eating here. I haven't returned since. read more

Used to enjoy coming here when they first opened, but sadly, their quality has declines. The thit nướng on their rice plates tastes old, dry, and overly salty. Still, I respect and support a family owned business and have ordered other dishes many times. I had my last straw this last order though. We ordered salt and pepper calamari to take home and found that it was melted through the box once we got home. The stir fried egg noodles with sauce was also packed so loosely that it spilled out into the bag. When contacted, they said that they were sure to pack it correctly and it was probably my own fault for putting it in the trunk. They said they'd return the calamari though so there's that. Probably will not come back after this. read more

deserves 0 star rather than 1 star. When I called to order, I asked for an extra onion because I thought it was free. And what I got was a small cup of onions like this for $2. It is very expensive. I am Vietnamese and I am very knowledgeable about Vietnamese food Never come back. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such bad reviews! We went for a Friday night dinner and loved everything we got! We ordered hot tea, nem nuong cuon, banh beo, banh khot and banh uot thit nuong. Everything came out super quickly and tasted great! The service was great! I will absolutely be back! read more

The food here is good, to be honest you can't really mess up com tam. However 2 stars off due to service, serving size, and the fact that we were fighting flies the whole time we were there. Although we did show up 30-40 mins before closing, we didn't plan to take long and we finished before closing time anyways while there were other tables there, so i do understand the servers frustration, however, he was not pleasant at all. Com tam should be served with a side bowl of soup and we didn't even bother asking him about it because he was rude every time we asked him about anything. For the price, i feel like we should've gotten a little more food. I believe each plate was about $14. Overall, i would come back here during the day and see if service is different and to see if they've done something about the fly situation. read more

I've been here once before but I believe it was last year or the beginning of this year. To say the least, it's been a little while since I've had the Bánh Khot and I wanted to try it again. It didn't disappoint that's for sure. It was sweet from the coconut flour but also soft and eggy on the bottom. Having all the accoutrements (lettuce, mint, cucumber, etc) is what makes all the difference and it's one of the few places that will serve the dish with its aforementioned sides. I really like them and they are very filling. The Shrimp paste spring rolls were also an interesting dish. Inside the roll is a rolled piece of fried wrapper so there's a nice crunch when you bite into them. The dipping sauce was rather interesting and different and I'm not sure if it's good or bad. It's a mix of shrimp and pork I was told but there's egg as well but I can't pinpoint anything else. It's an odd flavor and I'm not sure if it really works that well with the shrimp roll. If that sauce is traditional then I'm just not used to it. If not, I think they could serve it with Nuoc Cham and it'd be great. Service was ok but I think it was because it was just the one guy. I didn't see anyone else from the kitchen come out. He never refilled my glass but it worked out cause I was finished eating by the time I finished my water. I'll definitely come back. read more

Legit tasty broken rice plate in the heart of the new Katy Asiatown district. Everything was traditionally flavorful and I highly recommend everything we had from the banh khot appetizer to the com tam saigon dac biet plate. If I had any gripe, it would be that the banh xeo had a little too much bean sprout to meat/seafood ratio for our liking, but everything else we really enjoyed. read more

First and foremost, I really enjoyed the customer service here! The lady was eager (almost to the point where it felt rushed) to grab our order. I ordered the Bun Rieu. Not a lot of Vietnamese places make this dish, and it can often come out bland, but it was it was flavorful! My brother ordered the bun noodle dish that has meat and veggies, he said the noodles had a soapy flavor to it :( We also got the A1- grilled meat spring rolls and we both thought it was really good. Overall 4 stars! read more

Food was decent. I enjoy having a Vietnamese pho and rice restaurant nearby that is fair on food quality. Some other Vietnamese rice dish restaurants (Com Tam stores) in the Katy and Cypress area do their own take and it's definitely not original so I'm glad this one is consistent like the stores on Bellaire. Pho tastes fine, rice plates taste good with fair ingredients (I.e fish sauce used is the correct sweet fish sauce and not dipping fish sauce). I like having them around as a decent option choice. read more

I decided to give this establishment a second try. I got the Nem Nuong Rolls and Combo B. Nem nuong was actually really good! However, for the rice combo. The meats tasted old (been sitting out), especially the Chao Tom. read more

where to start.. The Nem Nuong Goi Cuon was pretty good and the sauce had decent flavor. No complaints there. The Pho Tai was a huge bowl. Lots of noodles, but the Tai meat was cut pretty thick. Broth was okay, similar to the flavor you'd find on Bellaire. I didn't try the Banh Xeo but Esposo devoured it so I'm assuming it was satisfying. The shrimps and pork meat were a good size. I had the Com Tam Dac Biet #2 (I think, the one with thit nuong) Not too shabby. The egg cake was meh, though...So that was a little disappointing. The meat was flavorful but also a thicker cut and I didn't have a knife. Everything else in the plate was good. Service was...okay. I don't think our server wanted to be working that night. ‍ All in all, I'd go back to try the banh khot and Banh beo, maybe the mi xao. read more

Good Viet food in Katy Chinatown. We had the banh khot, broken rice with chicken, banh xeo and combination stir fried noddles. The veggies they served with the banh xeo and banh khot were really fresh and clean. All the dishes we got were good. Similar to Viet food you would find in Chinatown. read more

**PSA** I'm not sure how the management is, but I'm positive that this is the same owner as Com Tam Thanh Kieu in China town bellaire!!

This is a good choice if you want a quick, and casual spot to grab rice and protein. Their specialty based on the menu is the Vietnamese dish, cracked / broken rice! Although they do have soup dishes on the menu, I'd definitely recommend to stray away from those or going to a neighboring restaurant if this is what you're looking for! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area, the grilled pork is worth a repeat order. read more

We are an office with a big order and have been ordered here couple times already. So far everything seems good, no missed items or wrong orders. Customer service when I got there was great. Helping me carry out a big order as well. The only thing that our office would recommend are the meat. Needs to be more fresh and juicy. It's quite dry every time we ordered. The color also too much as well (noticed the same review in couple people about color of the meat). Another down side, I'm unsure if everyone there speak English well but we have a slight difficulty with communication over the phone when placing the order. read more

Extremely slow, ordered on doordash and my delivery guy waited 30 minutes there. Can't even believe it.

Over priced mediocre food. Service is poor, don't expect them to come around to refill or check up on your table. The busboy responds better, in fact they drop off Some of the food and then clean tables-my tip was handed to him. Won't be back. read more

I placed a Togo order for two com tam plates and ended up with a fish dish. Contacted the store and the lady told me to bring back the order and that I didn't specify what I ordered before paying, which was incorrect. The lady asked me what I ordered and that's how she charged me. She had the nerves to tell me that it's too busy, I can't get a refund and that I can get a replacement order the next time without asking me any of my information. read more
