second time trying this place out as the first time was just a to go order and sooo long ago, but i'd say it was still pretty good as i remember. it's a small, casual establishment with just a handful of tables but ive never experienced any wait. service is nice and food comes out decently fast. i believe all the broken rice entrees come with the side of soup and that's always a nice warm, delicate broth to just get your appetite ready. everything was delicious, but if i had to nit pick at anything the bone in pork chop was just a little salty and kinda dry for my liking but still went great with everything else as the seasonings were good regardless. read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - broken rice with bone in pork chop, shrimp cake and egg cake - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

This was a pretty good com tam place. The com tam tau hu ky was good but a bit oily. The thit nuong was flavorful and delicious. I would highly recommend if you love com tam. Prices are a bit higher but the portions can feed you for 2 meals. Lots of parking! read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - Number 44 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Came here last Friday night because pho ALWAYSSSS HITS THE SPOT. The service here was amazing! Very friendly staff and the food was served quickly! At first I tried the pho and it seemed flavorless, but as I kept eating I began to really enjoy it! The soup stayed hot from beginning to end! It was so hot my rare steak was chewy and I did not enjoy that. But the overall good quality was tasty! It was clean and well kept which I also enjoyed. I recently stopped going to a pho spot closer to me, because I cannot stand how outdated and dirty it looks. This place will be our new favorite spot! read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - My pho :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Its been a while's since the last time I tried Com tam thien hao, and this will be my first dining in. Came in on Friday around 1130 am for lunch, plenty of parking, but parking kind of tight. Got seated right away and I ordered my usual Com Tam Bi cha thit nuong tau hu ky. Soup n fish sauce came first, followed by the com tam. I love the thit nuong is actually grilled on a skewer and pulled off for you, had good flavor, the cha and bi were basic, tau hu ku was crispy and good flavor, the pickle veggies were fresh and refreshing. The nuoc mam/ fish sauce is on the slight saltier side, my personal preference is for it to be sweeter, but thats just me. The side soup was good, it's probably the same soup they use for their pho. Overall I enjoyed the com tam and smash everything, the portion size is big. I'll update my rating from years past to a solid 4/5 and would return. read more

Preface: I think it's not a strong four, it's definitely on the edge of a 3 and 4. To start, the vibe is there. Got that rinky dinky location and throwback design. Service was typical for a Vietnamese restaurant, probably on the better side tbh. As for the food, presentation makes the food underwhelming; however the taste is decent. Starting soup is nice and light, and the com tam itself is not bad. I think the pork should be smokier and the egg cake is definitely way too soft. Should be firmer but maybe that's just personal preference. Portions varied from plate to plate. The bbq beef rib was actually pretty smoky and had a good flavor and texture. Overall, it gets the job done, but has a lot of possible improvements! read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was recommended by my friend that this is a good spot to have com tam so I took a trip down to OC and gave it a shot. Parking was ok and restaurant is small. I got seated right away after check in. Ordered their special combo com tam, comes with grill pork chop, shredded pork, fried shrimp paste, and steam egg. The dish comes with the soup. As soon as I taste the soup, I can kind of guess what comes next. The food portion was small for $20, especially in this area. Right around the corner there is another restaurant that is cheaper, bigger portion and better tasting in my opinion but I have to give credit to their pork chop. Which is very tender and has good taste. I would consider this dish for under $15. read more

I was told this place had the best com tam in the area, so I had to check it out. I got the com tam suon nuong [pork chop] & com tam thit nuong [bbq pork]. Both dishes had a good amount of variety, and the portion size is big, so it's good to share a plate if you're not that hungry. I felt like it's okay. It's not the best com tam I ever had, but it gets the job done if you're craving it. read more

Com tam is my fav viet dish of all time and I've tried a bunch of different places and I really love Thien Hao's. Meat had a great barbeque flavor and the dish components were great. Usually some parts of com tam falls flat like their tra chung or tau hu ky but thien hao nails it across the board. Tradition vietnamese restaurant so don't expect great service. Good food, great portion size too! Shareable. Parking is good. read more

It's been a long time since I've ordered Com Tam from Thien Hao. Couldn't help but noticing while the prices increased, the amount of food decreased. Facing stiff competitions such as Xi Gon, Bui, VH, Sister, etc... this may be the cause for their declining business volume. I no longer see huge long lines outside waiting even on the weekends nowadays. read more

We were recommended this spot by a friend from Utah, and it did not disappoint! It's a small place that gets really busy, but the staff moves quickly and efficiently. The service was great, but the food--absolutely amazing. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I really appreciated their solid non-pork options like chicken, beef, and shrimp. The shrimp cake was a standout--so flavorful! And their fish sauce? Easily one of the best I've ever had. This place has definitely earned a spot on my must-visit list every time I'm in SoCal. read more

There was a little wait for a Sunday lunch but not bad. Service is very efficient. They cleaned up tables pretty quickly and not just one server helped us but they all checked up on us multiple times. Food was delicious and flavorful. The restaurant was busy and the takeout orders were busy as well but we enjoyed the food and it hit the spot. This place hasn't changed since I last came a few years ago. Same great food and service.

Food was good. I ordered the com tam bi cha suon nuong with tau hu ky and my mom had the com tam bi cha suon nuong. We were both satisfied with our meals. My kids shared with me. I thought I was going to order more rice to go with the protein but my kids enjoyed the protein without the extra rice. There was definitely an abundance of protein. My only complaint is that the tau hu ky was not really shrimp paste. It was more of a pork cha. Service was decent. We came right before the lunch rush so we're seated immediately. Food came out pretty timely so no complaints there. The space was quite tight. There was not much space between the table we sat at and the table next to us. My daughter was in a high chair and there were inconsiderate people we sat next to that wouldn't move so I could pay for my check but it wasn't the fault of the restaurant. Anyways, I'd definitely come back again! read more

Great food with comfortable seating and ambiance. Staff is very welcoming and attentive. Staff can give suggestions if you're not sure which of the many delicious items on their menu. I ordered #41, it was a generous amount of food that was quickly brought out after ordering. Others in my party make other delicious choices and were beer satisfied with their orders. The drinks are also tasty, I ordered passion fruit. Highly recommended. But just as a reminder though the staff mainly speaks Vietnamese, they are versed in English and are very helpful. read more

Disappointed in my plate. I shared #44 with my mom as the photos looked like it would be big enough to full the both of us. It was $20 for the big portion so we thought it was worth it. The presentation looked filling, however we couldn't finish our food because it just wasn't satisfactory. The protein claimed to be BBQ ribs with fried shrimp cake and shrimp paste on sugarcane. The bbq seemed to be skirt steak in BBQ marinade and both shrimp items had no taste of shrimp (more like "cha ca" or fish sausage). The egg cake was also pretty mushy. The bì was average. Nuoc mam was bland. I wish I had better things to say! read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Yesterday my husband and I were excited to try Com Tam Thien Hao. We ordered #44 - broken rice with Korean style beef ribs, spending about $21. We genuinely wanted to enjoy our meal, but we were surprised by how small the portions were for the price, compared to other Com Tam places in the area. The beef ribs were also extremely salty, to the point where it was hard to finish. I mentioned it politely to a woman who seemed to be the owner or manager, half wearing a black hat, just to share the feedback. Instead of a quick apology or even a simple "I understand," she responded, "You've already eaten it, so what do you want to change?" I wasn't asking for a replacement, and I wasn't trying to get anything out of it. I just wanted to let her know in case other customers feel the same. I just expected a little kindness and professionalism. She said it was marinated that way, then turned away, mumbled something under her breath, and walked inside without saying anything else. We left feeling unsatisfied and dismissed. It was disappointing because we came in excited and hopeful. There are many broken rice restaurants in the are with bigfer portions for the price and better service. A little respect would have gone a long way read more

This is more on the high end cost for broken rice dish. I used to go here often yrs ago cause the foods tasted great, and it still great but the price has been increased. For this special dish with hot tea and tip I ended up paying almost $30. The service is great, helpful and friendly. The place is small but cozy and with the smell of grilled meats surrounding that just makes you hungry faster. read more

I believe this place is more on the expensive side of com tam but the quality of the food I had was pretty good. This is one of my go to place to eat com tam because of their representation and food quality overall. Their egg cake is soo good and the meat tasted amazing!! The shrimp cake though, it's mediocre since I feel like there is not much meat inside. read more

Food is good but the service is bad . Maybe they think they're good and they don't need the customers . The BBQ pork chop was so juicy, smoky and flavorful!! Egg cake and shredded pork skin were fine, nothing special. Broken rice was soft and well cooked. Each plate served with a soup , vermicelli bbq pork and shrimp is tasty & delicious too. Everything was good except the restaurant kinda small and fishy smell...also little bit pricey and need to improvement the customer service. read more

Popular among the locals, this place serves really really good com tam (broken rice). I was recommended this place by my Vietnamese friend. This place was still super busy on a Wednesday later lunch (around 1pm), where I still needed to wait 15 minutes for a table. Just note that the restaurant is mostly 4-top tables, so if you are a solo diner, you may be paired up with someone to share a table, which is not as awkward as you think as they will set it up so that it is two 2-tops separated by just the napkins and utensils. As long as both parties consent, this will drastically reduce wait times, which was what I did. I got the #41 combo which is super large portions. You could have 1.5 nice meals from just that, but because I was extremely hungry, I got super full from eating the entire plate. The combo also comes with soup and fish sauce. As is the case for most com tam plates, it comes with shredded pork skin, egg cake, and vegetables, on top of BBQ pork, grilled shrimp on sugarcane, fried shrimp cake. The BBQ pork is very flavorful, though kind of slightly charred which is easy to remove those parts. The grilled shrimp is very good - it is like a shrimp paste, and similarly goes for the fried shrimp cake which is a little bit heavy. The broken rice is fairly flavorful. The egg cake and shredded pork skin adds depth and texture to the dish. Service is fast and fairly hands-off, which is very okay for a casual lunch. You pay up front, noting your table number, or in my case because of a shared table, the table number and specifically what you ordered, so they ring you up the correct amount. Overall, this is one of the better com tam restaurants in the Garden Grove / OC area! read more

Too many choices, and you can order what the combination that you delight. The food is 5+ when 5 is the best choice.

My mom recommended this place saying they had good com dishes. We came here for lunch with family and friends. We got a table right away. We ordered: Chicken Hainan: this was just ok, kid preferred my pork to this chicken. Boneless pork rice dish: pork was too sweet for my liking. But it was tender. Pork spare ribs rice dish: this was good. My friends seemed satisfied with their meals. read more

I would say this is the best restaurant for Com Tam from my own experience. I ordered Com Tam Suon Bi Tau Hu Ky (BBQ Pork Chop, Shredded skin, and Fried Shrimp Cake) as usual but this time I added a fried egg to it. It was amazing as usual and I have been returning to this restaurant multiple times whenever I crave some Com Tam. The staff are nice. The wait might be long as it is quite popular so be prepared to wait if you go during busy times or go as a big group since this restaurant is a bit small. Though, I strongly recommend this restaurant if you haven't tried Com Tam before or are craving it just like me! read more

Best Com Tam around, consistently good & the owner & staff is very friendly. Only thing though is if you're willing to wait. It's always packed or a wait but so worth it. Family comfort ambiance.

This place is more like 3.5 stars. It's good, but I feel like we caught Covid after eating here. The waiter was an older gentleman, coughing all over the place. Yet he was serving everyone. My parents ended up testing for Covid after this day. This dish is about $18 each. Not super expensive but not cheap. Smal parking lot and it's busssy. read more

In the mood for com tam? This is the spot to try, you can smell their thit nuong ( grilled pork) from the street. Their pricing is a little on the higher side but they give great portions.

Food: 9/10 Service 5/5 Ambiance: comforting After trying out a lot of com tam places, this one definitely hits the spot. Upon arrival, I was quickly seated and the server was able to give me some recommendation as their menu had so many options. The lady told me that their com tam suon nuong was a popular choice amongst customers so I decided to give it a shot. After trying to the com tam, I was thrilled at how easy to cut and tended the steak was. It was cooked to perfection and overall, an amazing dish! The plate also comes with a complimentary soup that gives a nice light delicate flavor! Definitely will be coming back for seconds in the future! read more

Com Tam Thien Hao - #44 Short Rib - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

My mom loves com tam and after trying out so many places in OC, this is the place to go. They make mainly com tam and with an exception of pho and bun. We got #5 broken rice with shredded pork skin, egg cake, and bbq pork and added a fried egg. Their egg cake is fresh not dry. The bbq pork is so flavorful, tender and moist. Their shredded pork skin is not the best because it's too much skin to meat ratio. Got #46 rice vermicelli with bbq pork and egg roll. How you judge this dish is by the meat and the bbq pork is super moist and flavorful. We've ordered here numerous times and their bbq pork does not disappoint. There's every combo you can think of. There's parking but it's a bit sketchy with the homeless population becoming violent to each other so be careful! read more

I asked my boss who lived in the area what the best Com Tam place is and he answered with this place. With how many good places there are in the Garden Grove-Wesminster area, I was excited too try a new local recommendation. Overall, I got a good amount a food for the price and the suon nuong was cook just right (the last one I had was a bit burnt). While some places give you way too much rice or there are way too many side dishes, this place had a really good ratio. read more
