I think this is my new favorite spot for pho! The place had ample seating and it's so clean! That grade A posted on their entry window is definitely deserved! We stopped by for dinner around 630pm, the place was not too busy and we were instantly greeted and seated by an older gentleman. I was instantly amazed at how fresh and clean everything looked. We ordered 1lb of grilled shrimp, so fresh and tasty with a little char, the spring rolls were tasty and crunchy and served with a nice portion of side veggies, the pho's were also so good and comforting with a nice clear broth with plenty of noodles and meat/ meatballs. The sever and staff were all so friendly and attentive and service was quick. They have table service but similar to Denny's, they bring you the bill and you pay at the register once you're finished. We originally stopped by with a craving for the grilled shrimp, which did not disappoint, but left with a new favorite overall place to add to the regular list. To note, I found street parking right in front fairly easily, but I think there was a small parking lot on the side as well. read more

7/7/26 Been here previously with friends & decided to have pho today. Allen was our server again, friendly & pleasant, helpful. Only indoor seating available, good for large groups. Street parking & you may also park at Hawaii Market lot. Lots of to-go orders were being filled as we sat. I ordered pho, tendon only & Hubby ordered #222 Red rice with kalbi bbq ribs--amazing both were HUGE portions. The beef was tender & juicy. My pho was also pretty good but comparing it to my favorite place in Artesia-- it's not as rich or flavorful but pretty good. Will likely return as it's closer to our place. Good experience! read more

This was across the hotel I was at. It had good ratings so I gave it a try. Lots of tables inside. It wasn't full, but lots of customers dining in and picking up. I ordered egg rolls and the Pho Dac Biet. The egg rolls came out first. Fresh from the fryer with lettuce, herbs and the nuoc mam/fish sauce. I ended up fishing that on my own (first meal of the day haha). I was wondering where my pho was. I flagged down the server and he seemingly forgot. He rushed to the kitchen to get that going and it came out within a few minutes. Broth check first. It was light and had flavor. Didn't need to add hot sauce or hoisin sauce. Dressed up the pho with the herbs and went at it. Finished that as well. Pretty extensive menu. Fresh food. Overall, a nice place to grab some Vietnamese food. read more

I found my go to place for com tam! The food was good and flavorful. The food came out quick. I was happy with my Banh Hoi and Korean bbq. My wife has a good plate of thit nuong. All in all a solid 5 for com tam! Parking is hard but you can always park on the opposite side of the street! read more

Glad I found this restaurant. It has all the dishes, maybe not all, but all the dishes that I love. Some of my favorite dishes they have are: Cơm Tấm Phở Bún Bò Huế Bánh Bèo Nem Nướng Cuốn Cơm Đỏ Gà Rôti Cháo Bánh Canh Bánh Hỏi Chè And more... We end up getting: - Bánh Bèo - Nem Nướng Cuốn - Cơm Tấm King Special Combo (10 Items) - Cơm Tấm Bò Nướng with Chả Giò Tôm - Passion Fruit Drink - Pennywort Drink The staffs here were friendly and welcoming. The place is kinda nice. Nothing too fancy. The dishes that we tried were good. And the drinks were refreshing. Glad we discovered this restaurant. Will definitely come back to try my other favorite dishes. read more

This place reminds one of my favorite com tam restaurants. I have tried so many different com tam places in the area and this place gives me bang for a buck. Large portion and the food is also great.

Still as good as I remember. This is a spot I'd stick with for the dry dishes like rice and noodles. We got it to-go this time and I really enjoyed what we ordered. Bun Cha Hanoi - Always good, and the portions were great (tons of noodles). (5/5) Red Rice Grilled Beef - The rice was flavorful, and the beef had a nice smoky grilled taste. (4.5/5) I'll keep coming back here, it's always good. read more

I was really craving com tam the other night and decided to come here. I've never actually dined in, but this has been one of my go to spots for good com tam. I always order the King Special which lets you pick your meats. I usually go with the pork chop since it feels the most classic. The plate is huge and pretty much comes with every com tam item they offer, and I like all of them so it works out perfectly. It also comes with soup and honestly the portion is big enough to be 2 to 3 meals for me. I usually call my order in and it's ready by the time I get there which I appreciate. Solid spot for com tam and I know I'll be back again. read more

Really good food with subpar service you'd expect to find in the 626. The deliciousness of the food outweigh the service by far. They didn't refill our water once and basically ignored us lol The free soup at the beginning is a nice touch and the meat is big. The com tam king deluxe special is seriously so good and huuge in portions. This can be easily shared with two people. Parking is slightly annoying and ended up parking at the Hawaii supermarket lot read more

Was driving on Valley Blvd the other day and noticed King Com Tam. It's located right next Hawaii Supermarket and if you know you know. The parking lot feels like you're fighting with everyone and it's notorious for getting random dents on your car. I steered clear of this and was able to find street parking along Valley. I had called maybe 20 minutes before coming in to pick up my order and just read their menu numbers back to them to prevent any miscommunications. I ordered the Banh Hoi Bo, Tau Hu Ky which is thin vermicelli paties with grilled beef, bean curd skin with shrimp. There was a good amount of vermicelli patties with my order, I think more than what other places put. The grilled beef was tender and matched perfectly with their fish sauce. I really enjoyed the bean curd skin with shrimp. There was a crunchy piece (not sure what it was) with every bite which added a nice texture. My family ordered eggrolls as an appetizer and the skin had a nice crunch and the filling was delicious. They pack their vegetables and fish sauce on the side. I did sneak a bite of their rice and it was what you would expect com tam to be like. My parents were able to share their King Special Combo with a side of red rice and it was definitely enough food to share between them. They let you pick between their different protein of pork, beef, and chicken. read more

King Com Tam is a decent com tam spot in the SGV area. I came here with my parents on the weekend. We ate there at around noon and it was definitely busy. However, we were able to grab a table quickly. The entrance is wheelchair accessible. For parking, street parking is usually difficult to grab off of valley. I did park at the Hawaii Supermarket and walked over. My mom, dad, and I all got our own com tam orders. We all enjoy our dishes! This was surprising since my mom tends to think a lot of restaurant orders are on the saltier side. Portions were very generous and we had to even grab a takeout box. I also ordered the Ca Phe Sua Da as well; it was a bit more on the bitter side. There was also a small included and it was okay. Prices came out to be roughly $21.00 per dish. They do not accept American Express. VISA cards were accepted. read more

Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam. Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items. Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better. Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on. read more

Friendly staff and good portions. Bring cash if you spend less than $25. I stopped by King Com Tam after getting a massage and I was properly stuffed. The restaurant has a friendly cafeteria vibe. The food is brought to your table fast. I didn't expect a bowl of soup to come with my broken rice dish. Everything was delicious and filling. Broken Rice is one of my favorites, besides pho. This was great for a quick meal. The restaurant seems like it's family owned. Come check them out if you're in the area. read more

[ Food ] I'm not sure if it's because we ordered/picked up an hour before they closed, but the red rice did not have much flavor; the grilled beef and pork was fine. I do like how it comes with the pickled cabbage. [ Service ] Service was nice at pick-up. [ Parking ] We parked in front of the shop on the street, I don't know if they have a lot in the back. Might give them a try again in the future. read more

Located next to Hawaii supermarket in San Gabriel. They dont have a parking lot of their own, so you can find street parking right in front or park in the market's parking lot. My family wanted to come here and I know very little Vietnamese. Im a picky eater so I tried to explain what I wanted, but the server who was a kind gentleman, tried to be funny and sassy with me and my parents, kept interrupting me. I wanted plain bun with eggrolls and the pork chop. Their spring rolls were okay, but their meatball one was better, especially their sauce. Their other plates that you have to build were huge. I just wished that my bun bowl contained more vermicelli. They brought out my order and I noticed all the nuts and pickled radishes, which are not my favorite, so they took it back and gave me a new one. Id say im going to blame my mom for interrupting my order request. Ambiance was quiet, casual, and plenty of chairs. The staff is really nice and we will come back. read more

Our friends invited us to lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was very bight and clean. In true Vietnamese restaurant style, Immediately after sitting down (not having even opened the menus yet), the servers asked if we were ready to order--I jest but I always find this amusing. The menu was fairly typical, listing a number of broken rice with all the various sides and combinations thereof. They also had some pho and dry vermicelli options as well. Our party came for the broken rice and it's what we all ordered. The staff here is very friendly and offered candy to the kids in our party (factory sealed hard candies). I couldn't decide what to eat so I ordered the option that came with everything (10 sides) and split it with my partner. The food came out in a timely manner and was nice and hot. The egg rolls all came out crispy. I think my only complaint would be that I wish they were more generous with the fish sauce portions (they did provide extra dishes upon request but the dishes were small). Such a minor gripe but just saying. :) Would highly recommend King Com Tam. PS - you may park in the Hawaiian Market parking lot for King Com Tam, may still be tight. Felt like we almost got hit multiple time going into and leaving the parking lot. read more

Went for Com Tam but instead had Pho and Bun Bo Hue. The noodle soups had good broth. The phan nem nuong cuon was good, the dipping sauce was tasty. Banh Hoi Suon Dai Han was tasty. The vegetables that came with noodle soups and appetizer were generous amount and fresh and clean. The service was quick and friendly. Only issue is the language but with gesture and pointing, the basic meaning was conveyed and understood. We received the food we ordered. The price was inexpensive. Definitely will return. read more

King Com Tam is a solid Vietnamese restaurant and feels pretty authentic. I ordered the Com Tam King Special Combo, which comes with 10 items. I'm not super familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, so I wanted to try a bunch of different bites. Honestly, I didn't think the meal was that special overall, but the grilled pork chop was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It was also a great value, and I had enough leftovers to eat again for dinner. read more

San Gabriel Valley, CA. Ive been visiting various Viet restos in the SGV as it is close to me and i love Viet food. KCT is as authentic as it gets. So authentic, you smell the cooking flavors akin to kitchens in Vietnam. The ambience is that of a larger resto than you'd see in the SGV, about 100 seats. While we were there there was a party, employees from the Sheraton across the street, about 35 pre-ordered their lunch so tables were briskly serviced. I loved the food and authenticity, loved the service, and loved the vibe. Will return. Perhaps the stars will go up after multiple visits. End of Yelp. read more

With com tam, it is hard to make sure it is right. This spot is able to make sure it's right.

Staff here is very nice and attentive. read more

Broken Rice here has great portions and value here. Clear soup provided on the side. Spring rolls are worth a try here; they include chives inside. The sauce had sprinkles of meat inside. Take out orders came out fast and had neat packaging. They packed the shredded pork (for the rice separately with soy bean dust -- to keep it from sticking together I assume) and the pickles (for the rolls) were in a separate bag. Small down side is that there's a $20 min purchase if you were to pay with card. read more

Not great not bad. They're in the same plaza as the Hawaiian supermarket, which we avoid now because of the parking. The parking lot is an instant headache -- tight spaces, one ways everywhere with people not following the arrows, and tons of cars. Food-wise, everything was pretty average. Not bad, but with so many great Vietnamese options in the area, this didn't stand out for me. Service was decent though. They forgot one of our dishes, and when we asked to cancel it at the end, they were super understanding. Even when the kitchen still made it by accident, the staff apologized multiple times and handled it really kindly. Overall, not terrible, but probably not a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

Came here with my uncle and sister's boyfriend. We ordered the king appetizer to share, uncle and I ordered the pho dac biet, sister's boyfriend had one of the com tam dishes and then we ordered the 10 item com tam for my sister to go. The total for 4 entrees and 1 appetizer (which was quite huge might I add) was $95 before tip. Pricey but very filling. We had to take the appetizer to go! This is one of my go to places for pho and com tam. It's located on the side of the Hawaii Supermarket shopping strip so parking is plentiful at the market. The inside is filled with tables and clean. Service was quick and very helpful. Our server was nice enough to pack the appetizer to go when he saw us struggling, lol. All in all, a good place for that pho or com tam craving. Portions are decent although it may be pricey! My favorite from the appetizer was the egg rolls dipped in fish sauce. Very surprised the appetizer came with so much veggies! I believe they used to be cash only but now they take credit cards! read more

Park at the same parking lot as Hawaii supermarket or street parking! This place does not have its designated parking lot and if you miss the parking lot coming from the west side, the next restaurant over does not allow you to park! We came here on a random Monday for lunch and you can tell this place has its regulars. Don't speak much English but you can order by pointing or telling them the number of the dish you want. My husband ordered pho and I the vermicelli. Food came very fast. Food is good, restaurant is clean, nothing to complain about. read more

Dined in for lunch on 1/14/25. It was only 1/4 full during that time. No wait. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet #79. It came with different meats and it came out pretty quick.

Notes: you can use credit card but minimum purchase of $20.00 read more

We decided to try this spot one night after our usual place for bun bo hue was closed. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to our expectations. Two of us ordered the bun bo hue, and it just wasn't what we were hoping for--the broth lacked flavor and tasted more like water than what we're used to. My boyfriend ordered a bowl of pho, which was better, but still not as good as other places we've tried. The egg rolls, however, were flavorful, and well-prepared. We also got an order of spring rolls, which were okay but nothing memorable. Overall, while the egg rolls were great, the disappointing bun bo hue means we're unlikely to return, at least not for that dish. read more

This is my go-to place for com tam (broken rice). I usually get the com tam with 7 items. The portions are excellent and will likely last you through two meals. All the items in there were delicious and I've rarely had a bad piece of egg/sausage/beef etc. in there. I usually do take-out and they've been very courteous and polite with my order. The vibes are typical for an Asian restaurant, very casual and laidback. Parking may be a bit difficult; if you're dining in, try to park at the supermarket and not at the lot next door as that restaurant can be strict with who uses their lot. Highly recommend King Com Tam! read more

I can't tell you how great this place is! You have to try! The price is extremely good for the portion they give you. Also, the food is good! So it is a win win win situation for me!

I would buy this if this was closer to my work place or house but I only come every once in awhile when I don't want to drive to orange county. read more

King Com Tam - #23 without Pork Shred - Vietnamese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

*3.5 This place seemed to have been here for awhile, but I've only heard about it through a friend. Decided to try this place last night as I was craving com tam. I got #63 which was the grilled pork, steamed egg, shredded pork, and bean curd skin with shrimp. I liked the grilled pork, which was probably my favorite thing on my plate, but everything else was mediocre. I thought the steamed egg didn't have that much flavor to it and I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp or the shredded pork. There are definitely better places for com tam, but I wouldn't say this place is necessarily bad. read more

My boyfriend ordered their broken rice and a dry noodle dish with fish sauce, both were great but I just love noodle soups more. I enjoy their broth because it does have this sweet onion taste that I like. The place is spacious and service is always nice and would definitely come back and recommend ! read more

Cash and card accepted. Rice dishes still come with a small bowl of broth, they must have forgotten to give me one last time I ordered. Service is fast and friendly. 221. Com Do Ga Roti (Red Rice with Fried Cornish Hen)- best Cornish hen I've had. Juicy, tender and flavorful. If you love good boba shop popcorn chicken, this Cornish hen has similar seasoning and you'll love it too! Red rice here is not good, no flavor with just a hint of seasoning and pretty dry. I would order the Cornish hen with regular com tam rice instead. First time having pho here, pretty good nothing to complain about. read more

Since the old Com Tam Kieu in Rosemead closed down, my family has been coming here whenever we crave com tam (broken rice). Their food is very consistent in quality and flavor. The prices are very affordable and reasonable for this economy, and the portion sizes are very generous. I think I may eat smaller serving sizes than some, but I always end up only eating half of my plate and saving the other half for another meal. $12-14 for a large plate of rice and protein is such a good deal in my opinion! I usually like to order cơm tấm sườn bì chả tàu hũ ky (grilled pork chop, shredded pork, pork and egg meatloaf, and shrimp paste tofu curd cakes). I think the grilled pork chop is well-flavored and moist. The tofu curd cakes are crispy on the outside, which is how I like them. I personally think their pork and egg meatloaf (cha trứng) could use more pork and texture, but overall their broken rice plates are pretty good. They may not be the best I've ever had but they are the best in the area (as far as I know; if anyone knows of better, I would love to know)! Additionally, the owner of the restaurant is very fair. One example is that my aunt once bought bánh ít (a type of Vietnamese sticky rice cakes) from this restaurant and found out that they had gone bad when she arrived home. She called the owner to let him know, and he refunded her the money. I say this to give an example of the good customer service here; I hope that no one will read this review and try to take advantage of that. read more
