My go to place for com tam! I've been coming here all my life. I think I have found my new fave combo -- Broken rice with char grilled chicken, egg cake, shrimp cake, and a sunny side egg. The char grilled chicken is superb. 10/10. I always get a pound of the chicken when I'm too lazy to cook. The service is good and there's plenty of tables. Enjoy!!! You're gonna love it. read more

Tuong Ky Com Tam - Com tam ga nuong (char grilled chicken), cha (egg cake), tau hu ky (shrimp cake) - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service excellent. If you want authentic broken rice, this is the place to go. Menu has pictures and also English text if you do not speak Vietnamese. Staff was friendly and helpful, explaining dishes. I had the broken rice with chicken - excellent, chargrilled and still moist. Wife had the broken rice with the shredded pork, pork chop, egg cake - also excellent. Restaurant was well decorated and spotless. read more

Tuong Ky is a solid spot for rice platters and other Vietnamese dishes. I've enjoyed the food though oftentimes the service can be improved. - Bot chien or pan fried rice cake (3/5): comes with egg and sour soy sauce. The portion is very similar to other places. The rice cakes weren't very crispy and the sauce wasn't very spectacular. Overall it's on point but nothing to write home about - Com tam 6 Mon or rice platter combo (4.5/5): portion is a tad small for the price, but you get everything (and a small soup)!! I especially love the shrimp patty and egg cake. The fish sauce is also amazing! Highly recommended. - Com chien Duong Chau or Yuan Chow fried rice (3/5): just what you'd expect. Portion is smaller than other places and there's nothing "wow" about it. The interior has the LED light strip on all the time in the bright blue hue, which wasn't very pleasing to the eyes. Other than that, the place is fairly clean. read more

It was hard to find. The picture I found showed the location as Dakao plaza - wrong. It's by Lee's Sandwich across from HK Mall. Ordered com tam (grilled pork instead of pork chop), shredded pork, egg cake, pickled veggies. Also picked up a combo fried rice (shrimp, bbq pork, sausage) for my brother. Com tam - the pickled veggies were nicely done. The grilled pork was ok. A little dry. The shredded pork was standard. The egg cake was nice. The nuoc nam was nicely made as well. Not overdone. Pricing wise, it's a bit on the high end. Think it was like $10.95. It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday so relatively quiet. They had a few to go order pickups while I was there. The guy that took my order was nice and helpful. There was another staff, maybe a manager or owner who took the money, who didn't get off his phone the whole time he serviced me or after. I don't expect 5 star service but I found that a bit rude. (Based off the convo, it seemed to be a personal call) Not against trying it again. The menu is a bit limited (IMO) but still worth a try. read more

Tuong Ky Com Tam - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of my FAVORITE SPOTS EVER to get com tam. I like getting the combo bc I get a lil bit of everything. They serve it with a bowl of soup on the side, and it's just perfect. The coating on the shrimp cake is so crispy and light. The pork chop is flavorful and tender. Everything else is delightful as well. I always walk out of there happy and full. Business seems to be kind of slow every time I go- I only see like a few customers stop by when I'm dining in. Service is quick and employees are friendly. No issues with parking. I highly recommend checking this place out and giving them the recognition they deserve!!! read more

Great com tam (broken rice) in Houston! The portions are very generous. I got the combination that had everything, and my husband elected for the com tam with sausage. We also got a banh bot chien which was essentially a thin omelette with fried rice cakes. Super crispy and delicious with a savory sauce. Super reasonable prices and easy parking! No outdoor seating, so we got to-go. read more

My tongue tends to unlock very many things, some call it the tongue key. And when I slide my tongue key into a lock, it's com tam. And the best time of the day is com tam. So Com Tam has amazing grilled pork chops, and some other spectacular Foods as well. They definitely do a great job making truly authentic Vietnamese dishes, and I've now been here on 2 occasions. It's very tasty, and one of my favourite places to eat in Vietnamese Town. read more

Hair found in my dish and also in my honey's dish. The flavors were not there: Banh Bot Chien: Maybe someone forgot the salt? The fried squares were not crispy and even with the sauce mix on top failed to give it any more oomph. Broken rice combos: I customized my dish with charbroiled pork, egg cake and fried tofu skin with fried egg. Meat dry, Egg wasn't the traditional crispy edged one plus rice did not taste fresh cooked. Presentation was okay. Part way through found hair in the side plate of fish sauce where honey found hers in her rice dish. Not returning. read more

I came here once to meet my dad and his friends while they ate and tried their hot and sour soup with fish. I couldn't remember if it was delicious or not so when I craved it one day, my dad recommended ordering it there to eat. I came back and ordered to-go and it came with a large portion of rice as well. When I got home, the restaurant had put the broth separate in a soup container and the fish pieces and veggies in a separate to-go container in order for the veggies to not get soggy and fish to fall apart. Once I got home, I put everything in a pot to heat up and my golly, it was super flavorful and delicious!! The rice was kind of dry though but that was ok when I poured soup on the rice. I will definitely have to come back here to eat in person and try other foods because it's very delicious from what I had so far! read more

Good food, airy and clean restaurant, with good service. I would definitely recommend them for regular eating. We had rice dishes and banh bot chien. Reason for 3 stars is the sticker shock of their moon cakes or banh trung thu. There was no pricing on the boxes and I should have asked. For 2 boxes of mixed moon cakes (8 cakes total), I was charged 85 bucks. I thought this was outrageously expensive! I sure hope they're good read more

Worse com tấm ever,!! The grilled pork is so hard, it is not flame grilled, the "bi'" shredded pork skin also so hard not well cooked and everything tasted so "Sweet"..WTH...it is not Thai food why makes it so so sweet? I came from miền Tây VN we eat sweet...but not like this ! ..it is worse than what you cook at home. So dissappointed because I just moved from Virginia, I expected it should be better since VNmese community is here 4 times more than where I came from (Virginia). So don't even compared it to California San Jose or Orange county! Don't waste your time trying this com tam!! Instead of giving 1 star, I gives 2 stars because the restaurant is clean...well most Houston restaurants are clean though. read more

The menu is pretty small here, but the grilled meats here taste great! My family comes here for Lau Mam (a hot pot) which I actually love it here. They use fish fillet so don't have to worry about bones. The flavor of the broth is consistently savory and always give lots of veggies. I never actually ate the com tam here, but I always order the grilled meats by the LB here Togo. We even ordered a large tray Togo for a party before. The grilled meats is very tasty is great price. $12/lb They also have a good variety of traditional Vietnamese drinks too! read more

It was my first time here. The place is hidden gem in the corner of the same shopping strip as Lee Sandwiches on Bellaire. To be honest I probably would not eaten here if my sister didn't suggest it. My sister and I were greeted right away and seated. I really appreciate that this place was clean and they actually had the AC on!! That right there is 2 stars automatically for ANY Asian restaurants on Bellaire!! The food was really good. I ordered 2 appetizers because I wanted to try both. Banh bot chien was crispy and not greasy but I think it needed more eggs and radish/green onion toppings like Tan Tan. The dipping sauce was ok, maybe more of the darker sauce in it then the red vinegar. The Vietnamese egg rolls were delicious but for the size and amount they were a little pricey. 6 small egg rolls for $8.50 (Especially being on Bellaire). The com tam was tasty and everything had flavor. The thit nuong actually had finely mince lemongrass in the marinade. I like the flavor it gives bbq meats. Thit nuong is supposed to be marinated with lemon grass. That's how my mama made it so it is the way I grew up eating thit nuong and pork chops. The pork chop & thit nuong were tasty & not over cooked. I thought the meat would be tough and dry but it was surprisingly tender. The tofu shrimp thing was good since it was NOT drenched in grease since it is fried. Everything on my 6 item plate was seasoned well and tasty. I enjoyed my rice plate. The chicken rice plate my daughter had was tasty too! The meat was flavorful and NOT dry/over cooked. They do give complimentary plain small bowl of broth like they should with the rice plates. Great food at a CLEAN restaurant with good service. The fish sauce was good. My sister wanted the Me Den dessert but the waiter said they were out. I will definitely be back again. If you are craving com tam come try it out here! read more

Hidden gem for broken rice. Hubs and I both ordered something different and loved it. Some of my pet peeves are: flavorful, not watered down fish sauce, marinated meat, oily sautéed green onions on the rice. You can't have a com tam without those. Faves: Shredded pork Egg meat soufflé I need to go back and try more. read more

Their durian mooncakes for the mid-autumn festival are amazing!!! Not too sweet and with just the right amount of durian flavor. Also, the yolk isn't crazy salty the way that other yoked mooncakes do it. It's more of a savory flavorI've always been a lotus mooncake die-hard fan, but these durian mooncakes are making me act up!!! they also stay relatively fresh when stored in a Tupperware in the fridge. I haven't tried any of the other items on the menu but I will definitely update this review once I go back for more mooncake! read more

This was the first place my Viet friend took me to when I visited her in Houston. Their specialty is com tam (broken rice) so it was delish and spot on in terms of authenticity. The kids ordered shrimp fried rice and brisket & meatball pho. Both were good but I thought the broth was a bit sour. Still, it was better than pho that I got back in Denver! The place was clean and service was fast. There was also ample parking. read more

A restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese rice plates. They have a good amount of options to choose from which can make it hard to choose but you can't go wrong. Like most Vietnamese restaurants, they immediately asked us what we wanted without really having time to look at the menu. But they were nice and gave us some time to think about what food to order. I like how the rice was broken enough because there are places that I've tried where the rice wasn't the right one. The portion of the plates was decent sized and will fill you up. I like the seasoning of the meat on my plate. The fish sauce was on point which is very important in these dishes. I enjoyed the food here and look forward to coming back! read more

3.5 stars. Visiting Texas I heard there is a huge Vietnamese community out in Texas. So I was surprise to roll into pretty much Vietnamese Town! So much Vietnamese food to eat and try. Being from the Bay Area I am spoiled with pretty good Vietnamese cuisine. Decided to check this spot out from Yelp but there wasn't many reviews but I decided to try it anyways. I cant compare to other locations in Texas but there really wasn't much wow factor in my dish. It was a basic rice plate. Meat was not as tender and portion was skim. Pricing is cheap compare to California but overall it was average. read more

This com tam restaurant is in the same shopping mall as Nguyen Ngo, Thien Thanh, and Lee's Sandwiches. It's known for its broken rice so definitely stick to that. The place is unpretentious, and I've had excellent service every time that I've been there. My go to place used to be com tam Thuan kieu, but that place has gone to the shit hole based off of service and taste of their food. Com tam 6 mon, 5/5: this plate is $10.50 and it has everything on there that you would think and more. Grilled pork chop, grilled shrimp, egg cake, lap xuon, crunch vegetarian cake, and com tam. It also comes with the soup on the side to wash everything down. The proteins are juicy and go well with the broken rice. My new go to spot for com tam. As long as the food and the service is consistent, I'll be coming here from now on. read more

Very good fast service. Have only eaten the Com Tam and Beef Filet Fried Rice. Both excellent. Maybe I'm a glutton but if you get the Beef Filet make sure to pay for extra meat. They are very delicious tender and full of taste but you'll realize you have to have more and there's still plenty of rice to add the perfect sidekick to the main hero. Com Tam is about average in all honesty. The main reason to come here is for a quick bite or a relaxed environment that has excellent service and cleanliness. You won't be disappointed. read more

The noodles, bbq pork, and cucumbers were all pretty good, but the egg roll and carrots were both pretty underwhelming (Possibly microwaved Egg-rolls). Also, the peanuts were kind of excessive to be honest, like there was a lot, so much so that it kind of overpowered the other flavors of this dish.

Really great authentic Vietnamese food. They have the broken rice of course and all the sides you could want! I would recommend the egg loaf or the shrimp cake. So good! I also enjoyed the cha gio and the bot chien. The service was very good. The waiter was attentive and they continually refilled our cups. There was also very good social distancing because of covid and the restaurant was very clean and they cleaned up immediately as we left. read more

Best place to get broken rice in Houston. Fast service, delicious food. Their grilled pork is very tasty. Parking is not an issue.

We've been to a few Com Tam places so we decided to give this place a try. We order the broken rice with shredded pork, pork chop, shrimp cake and fried rice shaking beef. We thought the pork was a bit dry and even the beef was over cook. Overall the food was ok. Nothing to rave about. read more

We checked this place out due to its google ratings. It turned out to be the worse experience. We had Com Tam (broken rice dishes). The food was bleh and overrated. The service was okay. Now we know which restaurant to avoid when we come back to Houston. read more

The pho is fine, i did not get a headache. The bun mam and others are a sad sad dish. They have hotpot and snack for to go as well. I love the new decor and remodeling inside. It was very pathetic before but now its has improved. This restaurant seems to be more efficient at managing togo and take out orders. The com bo luc lac (shaken beef) dish is moderately decorated but the vegetables could have been better (the cucumber is flimsy) Price is decent; well, it's bellaire (Vietnam) town with thousand of eateries, they have to price them competitively. read more

This place is definitely spot on with its broken rice. The daikon pickles and the fish sauce were kind of bland, but the pork chop was SUPERB, a true compensation for the previous elements. I've tried many broken rice places, and this place is one has one of the best ones for sure. Definitely worth coming back! read more

Don't really know what the hype is about this place. Was hungry and didn't know what to eat, so I stopped by here since I hadn't had com tam in awhile and saw all the positive reviews. I ordered the com tam 6 mon (broken rice with 6 items) and found it pretty plain. The portions seems a bit skampy, considering $11 price tag that came with it. The food is pretty standard and a bit dry for my taste. The people there seemed friendly enough. Just another place I can check off, but will try elsewhere next time. read more
