    I ordered to go from this com tam spot and it was ready quickly in less than 10 minutes. Parking can be a hassle especially around lunch time, but I went in the middle of the afternoon and there were plenty of spaces on the weekend. The inside was warm and like a typical Vietnamese food spot. There is a single chair to sit on and fridges for more food options. The staff was nice to offer iced drinks while waiting for the food. There is a credit card fee of about 3% or they take Zelle too.

    1. The bun thit nuong was packed, and it came with everything! The meat needed to be reheated but it was still good! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! Food was ready as soon as I finished paying! 4. Parking lot is small! The lot does get crowded! 5. There are no tables! Note: There is a 3% card transaction fee! Photo: Bun Thit Nuong

    This place is takeout only, The menu is simple, offering only three types of dishes: cơm tấm, bún, and bánh tấm bì. As for food quality, it's good but the dishes can sometimes be cold, as they appear to be precooked and packaged when ordered. Prices are reasonable and affordable, and the portions are generous with a good mix of everything and plenty of meat. The service is friendly and great, although the interior is minimal, just a table for orders, the menu, and ready to go food. Parking can be tricky since it's in a small complex next to a popular spot. Overall: great food, great prices, and great service!

    Perfect grab and go! Fast service and super friendly. The portions are huge and very tasty. The only con, is the parking at this location can be a bit congested, but that's minor.

    $11 com tam thit nuong bi cha
    Long H.

    Bought 2 portions com tam thit nuong bi cha and com tam suon bi cha for my dad and I. Each com tam cost $11 and portion size was decent for $11. I ate the com thit nuong while also trying some of the suon from my dad. The pickled veggies were fresh, I like that theres crispy pork fat, the bi n cha was good, but unfortunately the main course miss the mark. The nuoc mam is the thicker type sauce, so it's saltier and more concentrated, which We don't like. We prefer the normal nuoc mam. We both agree that both com tam was ok..., nothing special, both the suon and thit nuong was dry, especially the suon. The flavor/seasoning for the thit nuong was kind of bland and needs some more fat in it so it wont be dry/lean. Out of all the com tam places we have eaten in Oc, we have to say Com tam Sister is ranked last. I don't see us returning, so it's a one and done.

    Parking situation - 2 reserved spots only available tucked in the small strip. So be prepared to find street parking on weekends and walk on over. Prep time is incredibly fast when there isn't a line. Food taste - 5/5 Portions 5/5 Justified Cost 5/5 11 dollars for quick take out can't render any complaints.

    Parking can be chaotic when the plaza is busy due to the tofu store. There are 2 assigned parking for Com Tam Sister at the front of the store. No tables, strictly order to go. When I arrived there was 1 customer but afterwards alot of people were trinkling in and out. If you get the com tam (broken rice with pork steam egg and shredded pork, 1st item on menu), it comes out pretty fast because it's the main item people order. You can add a fried egg (opla). There's the bun (vermicelli noodle) with pork and eggroll (2nd item on menu) and the 3rd bun dish has a coconut sauce, 1 pork skewer, ground pork shrimp and herbs/lettuce (3rd item on menu). You pour the coconut sauce on the noodles but if you don't like coconut, just use the fish sauce. They have the eggrolls that look like it's wrapped and fried noodles. If you order that, it's a little wait cuz they make to order. Not sure if they take credit card cuz I paid with cash, almost everyone I saw paid with cash. The gentleman in the front spoke mostly vietnamese to me but don't let that deter you from trying this place, use the translation app if all fails. I would definitely return here and try the other items.

    This place is a to-go only shop. I ordered the com tam, which came with two large pork pieces with rice and a small side of veggies. The portions are pretty big so my husband and I split one. I really enjoyed the flavor and sauce they used for the pork! The meat itself was pretty good, not super juicy but not dry either and it comes with fish sauce. The food also came out super fast! There's a small parking lot for pick up.

    Com tam suon bi cha
    Tina N.

    Wow $11 com tam suon bi cha! That's a great deal! Probably the most affordable com tam in OC! The place is for to-go only. Food came out really quick like within seconds lol. Very big portion. I was full with half portion and saved half for the next day. Tasted a little sweet, but overall decent com tam and amazing price!

    This place popped up when looking for food on yelp and it looked good so we gave it a try. It seems to be family owned, one of the employees or perhaps it was the owner, even opened the door for us upon arrival and was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious!! I can't say that I know what an authentic Vietnamese home cooked meal tastes like, but this is what I picture it to be like. All this great food and it's only eleven dollars in THIS economy???? Girl, if this place was closer to my house, I would live here hahaha

    Bánh tằm bì
    Julia V.

    I had heard many recommendations about this place, but I ended up feeling disappointed. Maybe I should have ordered the Cơm Tấm (broken rice) since that's the dish everyone kept mentioning as a must-try. Instead, I ordered the Bánh Tằm Bì for $13. As far as I know, this is a distinct Southern Vietnamese dish, especially popular in the Mekong Delta (Miền Tây). However, both the fish sauce (nước mắm) and the coconut cream (nước cốt dừa) were completely off. To me, the flavors were overly salty and lacked balance, missing the authentic taste I was expecting. If I ever return, I'll probably try the Cơm Tấm instead. I also forgot to take a picture of the shredded pork and pig skin (bì), which came packaged separately. Overall, the price was reasonable, but this particular dish didn't taste right or authentic.

    eggroll is cold
    Mikey S.

    3 item for $11 pretty cheap but my rice is cold egg roll was cold yuck fish sauce is like molasses sticky no good yuck meat on skewers no taste the guy working here use his unwashed hands to put chips in bag no restrooms no dine in togo only egg roll was cold

    The grilled pork is on the sweet side. The noodles mixed with coconut sauce and fish sauce tastes very good
    Ivy H.

    Good price!! Good food. Com Tam - Marinated sauce is a bit sweet. The fish sauce for Com Tam is so sticky also on the sweet side. If you don't like sweet, their food might not fit you. Cha Gio is good. Highly recommended!!! Will come back with this. Air fried on next day still tastes crispy. Banh Tam Bi - love this because I like coconut sauce. The fish sauce for this dish is better than Cam Tam one. Oh the grill pork skewer is same taste as the com tam pork chop which on the sweet side. Overall, their price tag is cheap. Good price and quality for food to go.

    Com Tam $11

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!
