I came in to get something small to eat and thought I'd come in to get an appetizer or something. Inside there are plenty of seating. Didn't seem to crowded when I came in after 5pm or so. I went to the front to order something to go and I notice they had Nem Chua. I knew what it was because this thing went viral on tik tok, and I've been curious to try it ever since. I went to order something first and I got the grilled pork sausage rolls. I spoke with the guy at the cashier who could have possibly been the owner. I told him I've seen the Nem Chua everywhere and asked how it tasted, and he was super cool he gave me a small sample of it to try, and oh my gosh was it good!!!! The service is great here judging from that one interaction. Then I tried the pork sausage roll. It tasted so much more different then other Vietnamese restaurants I went to. The sausage was softer, and filled with flavor. The sauce was not the typical fish sauce I tried. It was different, and not a cold sauce but hot. It was absolutely amazing. So simple, but so good. I'm definitely coming back to try something new. read more

Order the com tam (broken rice) with bo nuong(grilled beef), cha (pork and egg loaf), tau hu ky (tofu skin with shrimp paste). They did some stuff good, some stuff poorly. The com tam was nicely cooked, grains individually separated. Bo nuong was not what I was expecting. It had some char, but then they slathered it in some sauce that took away from the expected crispy edges. The beef was also tough. The Cha was done well, soft and fluffy with good flavor. The tau hu ky had great flavor but could have been more crispy. Over all a lot to improve upon. read more

I came here on a Sunday with a large group of 12 and they were able to accommodate us without any issues. There's actually a lot more seating behind the front dining area than I expected, so our group fit comfortably. They took everyone's orders pretty quickly and the food started coming out at a good pace. They have some really great deals too, including a buy two get one free special. The portions are huge for the price, amazing value!! This time I ordered the 7 item com tam and it came with a bowl of soup that was so rich and flavorful. Between the soup and the plate itself, there was so much food that I only finished about half and took the rest home. Every item on the plate was delicious, so it was hard to pick a favorite. The only thing I wished for was more fish sauce because I ended up using all of it before I finished my meal. I also grabbed the $1 iced tea and I honestly can't remember the last time I saw anything for a dollar. It was pretty good and reminded me of the standard iced tea you get at dim sum restaurants. read more

Of all the cơm tấm places in the land, this one is my favorite. I recently dinnered here and accidentally ordered one of the massive combos. I shared the #2. For $19.99, you get 7 protein choices. 7! My order came with Julienne pork, steamed egg cake, Chinese sausage, sausage roll, tofu shrimp cake, grilled shrimp, and grilled pork. All over a bed of rice with some cucumbers + pickled veggies. Value wise, you get a lot of variety and food. I absolutely love the tàu hũ ky here. It's the best. It's meaty and has the crispiest tofu skin. When you order a regular entree, you get 2 pieces! Incredible. I just think the cơm tấm here is top tier. Each individual component of the dish is solid. Any combination of things will leave you satisfied. Cơm tấm Thuan Kieu is great for first timers, second timers, or old timers. read more

Been going to this place for decades. My family comes here for their infamous broken rice combo every time. (Tip!! always get the combo instead of the entree bc you get more bang out of your buck.) But today we were adventurous and tried their "banh khot" bánh khọt. 7 piece Bánh khọt review: Yall be sleeping out on the bánh khọt here! It tastes amazing. Krispy thin yellow pancakes. The khọts are 3.5 inches long in diameter. A bit of meat, 3 shrimps, served with a bowl of salad, pickled carrots/radishes, fish sauce, and coconut sauce. This is a must try here! The best bánh khọt I've ever had. read more

One of my favorite places for Vietnamese broken rice dishes! The menu has a large variety. You can make your broken rice plate customizable with the type of meats and sides. The staff is very friendly and you'll be seated right away if you decide to dine in. Plenty of seating and it's always clean. There's an option for take out as well.

Com Tam Thuan Kieu - #29 Grilled pork, shrimp sausage, egg roll, fish cake - Vietnamese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

After eating shit on my bike (bicycle) today which landed me in the hospital with a brace and sling, I needed something to heal my soul at the very least. My wife and I said screw the diet today and she drove my battered ass to Com Tam Thuan Kieu. We shared their absolute unit of a combo, which was 10 items! It also came with two soups and a heaping plate of rice, along with plates to share. It had it all: egg roll, charbroiled pork, lap cheong/xuong, tofu wrapped shrimp cake, baked egg quiche, grilled shrimp, grilled fish (surprisingly good!), fried shrimp cake, julienned pork, and a grilled pork sausage. All of it was nothing short of delicious. Initially I was worried that it wouldn't be enough rice for the both of us since I practically inhale rice when you put it in front of me, but once the meal was nearly done, I realized that it was the perfect amount of food. Well, actually my wife couldn't really finish her share, so I ended up eating the rest like usual which is a pretty good problem to have. The older gentleman who was serving us was friendly and nice too. He and my wife shared a laugh because apparently he was trying to talk to me and I just stared at him blankly since I don't understand Vietnamese haha. I do know my foods in Viet though ;) But you know what's a 1 star meal that I've eaten twice in the last 2 weeks? The ground. 0/10 would not eat the asphalt or dirt again. But here? For $25 for 2 people in *this* economy? You bet your ass I'm coming back (even tho I've been to the other locations). read more

My family has been coming to this Vietnamese broken rice spot for over 20 years, and not once has it disappointed. Every time, we order the same thing--because when it's that good, why change it? The flavors are always spot-on, comforting, and consistently delicious. It's the kind of meal that feels like home. What makes the experience even better is the staff. They're always incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming. There's a genuine warmth here that makes you feel like more than just a customer. It's rare to find a place that stays this good for this long--but this one does, every single time. read more

Authentic Vietnamese rice dishes. Enough said. They have every option of rice dish you might want to try including combos. Com tam means broken rice, a Vietnamese specialty. I recommend the pork chops with egg. Very filling and satisfying. Expect to wait on the weekends but that's true for any food place in this area. We got our food to go and it was still good by the time we got home. read more

One of the good Com Tam places that my husband and I really enjoy eating at. I remember the first time we came here we ordered their Com Tam 10 piece combo each and it was just way too much food LOL. So every time we come here we always just share their Com Tam 10 piece and it's just the right amount of food for us...plus it's always better sharing ;) Located in a small parking lot, CTTK takes credit card as well but I think there is a minimum payment. It's never been really packed here every time we come but maybe because we always come during a week night lol. Their Com Tam 10 piece is a bit more expensive now from when we first came here...it comes out to be $20 which is a little more than other places I have been to. All in all, their 10 piece comes with a variety of different sides and we love it! So much food! Though it's a bit pricey, we will be back! read more

My husband came here by himself on a Saturday afternoon and dined in. He got the com tam 10 mon ($20.65) which he said was phenomenal. The portion size was also really big so he had food coma afterwards. We recently stopped by on a Friday afternoon and ordered banh hoi 10 mon ($30.44) to-go and drove 1 hour home before we got to eat it. The food was surprisingly still warm enough to eat but the egg roll was soggy. The banh hoi cost $10 more which was not worth it since it didn't taste super fresh or hand-made. My husband said the portion size was smaller too. They didn't give enough nuoc mam so we added our own. However, they did give a good amount of veggies though. The meat, fish, & shrimp were good but my favorite was the egg cake. The eggroll and Nem Nuong log were just okay. Lesson Learned: Only dine in at this restaurant. read more

Just happened to drive by the strip mall where this place resides. Only a few other patrons so there were plenty of tables available. Took a look at their extensive menu and decided on their 10 item plate. It was overkill for me as I couldn't finish it all. Items were decent and I definitely enjoyed the variety. Loved the soup, which helped break up my meat overload. Would consider coming back again. read more

Com Tam Thuan Kieu is a staple in the Garden Grove/Westminster area. My family loves this spot and they're my go-to for com tam because the portions are huge and the flavors are always on point. I love com tam because there's a variety of meats you can eat. They give you plenty of nuoc mam and soup to pair with the com tam / broken rice. Service is decent! They mainly speak Vietnamese so it would be best to go with someone Viet or point at what you want. The restaurant is huge so there should be plenty of seating, I've never waited here. I would highly recommend checking them out. read more

Best broken rice I've ever had. I should be able to finish the whole plate myself but the portion was just about right for two people to share. Not enough rice for me but the 10 items on the plate made up for it. This set the bar for broken rice for me and all the broken rice on the west side are just scam and trash compared to this. The drinks were good but too much ice. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast, but we were also the only customers there during that time. read more

My family and I have been getting food from here for the past couple years. And it's always so delicious . We always go here for Cơm tấm (broken rice) or Bún Tôm Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (cold noodles with shrimp, meat, and egg roll) and to top it off we almost always get the Xương xáo nước dừa (grass jelly in coconut milk). It's always so good and filling! Honestly whenever I'm craving com tam or that type of food, I'd 100% recommend this place. The portion sizes are great for the price (at lease pre pandemic, I haven't really been here since the middle of the pandemic). The food is always great, you get a soup along with your meal too. I'm always satisfied after I'm craving it! I wanted to put more pictures but I realized I didn't take any haha. read more

Đã ủng hộ nhà hàng này hơn 20 năm, nhưng hôm nay thật sự thất vọng. Tôi đến ăn bún chả Hà Nội vào khoảng 11h trưa. Đợi gần 25 phút, món được mang ra nhưng thịt nguội, chả bên trong lạnh tanh và không được nướng kỹ. Tôi không thể ăn tiếp và xin mang đi. Thay vì thay phần khác hay đóng gói giúp, họ chỉ đưa hộp cho tôi tự gói. Khi tính tiền vẫn tính đủ, không xin lỗi hay hỗ trợ gì thêm. Thật đáng buồn khi một nơi mình từng tin tưởng lại phục vụ như vậy. Sẽ không quay lại. read more

Came at the end of a hot day, nobody inside which is weird given how popular this place supposedly is on Yelp. Ordered the #2 or #3, forgot, since it's different than other broken rice places, $18 but you get a GINORMOUS amount of food. Everything was fine from a non-vietnamese perspective but actually - some of the meats provided were not very flavorful, not that I think it was the cook's fault - just not as good as standard grilled meat options that vietnamese places have. So probably no need to get the super big $18 item - just thought I should try it since I can go anywhere else and get normal com tam. I imagine there's competition for solid com tam in GG/Westminster so I'm assuming it's the case that this is place is good but the only com tam that blew my mind was a chateau like vietnamese place that I don't think rules allow me to say directly ;) read more

Great portions and decent prices! I used to go to their other location off of Bolsa, but recent reviews there made me reconsider and I decided to try this location. I ordered the 7 items choice A broken rice platter to go and it was ready within a minute after I ordered and paid. The food was not piping hot because the 7 items were already made ahead of time, which I don't mind because it is pretty typical of broken rice places. The only thing that was hot was the rice and soup. I did toast the tofu skin fish cake after I got home so that it would crisp up before eating. Overall, my hubby and I really enjoyed the food. Everything tasted really good except for the nem nuong (Vietnamese grilled pork sausage), which had a slightly weird taste to it. This was plenty of food to feed the two of us with leftovers for both of our lunches the next day. This will be our new go to place for com tam (broken rice) from now on! read more

Not the cleanest restaurant, but also not the cleanest plaza. I always get the special, 7 side combo with grilled pork. The plate is huge and is big enough to fill up two girls. They provide fish sauce and bone broth on the side! We tried the grilled chicken platter this time which was flavorful,however, the chicken portion was extremely small. Com tam thuan kieu is the og of com tam in little saigon,but sadly it doesn't hit the same as before. Still solid just not amazing as they are very skimpy on protein these days read more

The good: I tried bún chả Hà Nội and combo #3 (tên meat combo?). My daughter enjoyed the side soup that came with the com tam platter. The food came out quickly. I liked the small broken rice. There was plenty of tables to choose from and workers were friendly. I liked how many variations and combos of meat you could choose from. The vegetables for the bún chả were fresh. I enjoyed the round meat patty in the bun Cha the most. The bad: It was so warm inside. It felt like the heater was on even though it's May and it was in the 60s outside. There wasn't enough fish sauce for the rice plate. The Laos sausage was like a Chinese sausage and felt random. The tofu skin on the tau hu ky was soggy and not crispy. The thịt nướng was okay but didn't have as good of a charred grill flavor and was a little heavier in the nuoc mam flavor (a bit too salty, same with the shrimp). The shrimp didn't have a nice fresh shrimp "crunch" (unsure what to call that texture) and was smallish. This was subpar to my usual Com Tam Thien Huong in norcal. The baby high chairs could use cleaning. The interesting: They have two locations. read more

As a com tam regular, it's an average restaurant. I've been coming here for a while but it just okay kinda sad to see it fall off the radar though with all the other com tams popping up. Their portion is good for sure though. Service is average too. They used to be on the left of the plaza back like a decade ago and it was really small and crowded but they change to the right of the plaza and there's tons of space but just average customers size. read more

I came here to get some Com Tam for my Mother's Day and it didn't disappointed. I got two meals and a side and rice and it was only $24. Talk about affordability! I ordered the Korean Short Ribs, with the Shrimp Tofu, with no pork bi since I don't eat pork for medical reasons. My mom got Korean short ribs, and the egg/pork cake with no pork bi. Taste: The Korean short ribs were juicy and had a nice glaze on top. The sauce on it was super delicious. The shrimp Tofu was nice and soft. It wasn't dry at all, and had flavor. I thought they would just give me one, but it comes with two. Talk about two for a price of one! My mom didn't liked the egg pork cake, she said it wasn't favorable enough. I didn't had it so I can't comment. Oh it also comes with two brooths, but I didn't had any. Overall: I would reccomend this place for authentic Vietnamese broken rice. 5/5 for affordability and taste. Call in for to-go orders & cash only :) read more

First time here and even though I think broken rice plates are hard to miss, but this place was pretty good! I really liked the tàu hũ ky (shrimp cake) and the grilled pork was flavorful and not dry. My only thing was that some of the pieces of grilled pork were way too fatty. Soup on the side was good and not too salty and I approve of the egg rolls if you like to order those as apps! Overall it's a very clean and fairly spacious restaurant. The servers and owners were very friendly. I would definitely come back to eat here or even get it for takeout as the plates are pretty hefty! read more
