I’m really not sure whether all the Com Tam Thanh are operated by the same owner but the food quality are vastly different. I do like this San Jose one however (don’t go to the Newark one).
They serve good Com Tam which is broken rice (think tiny rice) plate with shredded pork skin, egg cake, meat (beef or pork) and other stuff. They serve the rice plates with a fish sauce and I recommend you mix the rice with the fish sauce. Although I usually don’t like fish sauce but it’s great with the rice in this case.
Both the pork chop and the beef short ribs are amazing even though I slightly prefer the pork chops. I just wish they give more egg cake as the piece I got is tiny. Also they only gives you two grilled shrimps.
If you like com tam you know there is another popular place nearby but this one is better in one aspect: they don’t close the restaurant in the afternoon as the other does.
Service is decent and we didn’t notice problems with waitress ourselves.

Craving a Vietnamese rice plate with pork, egg with pork, shrimp with a side of soup. Also got a fish with side of rau muon and and an ice coffee. Tasty, nice texture. Felt home cooked. Service was nice. It’s been awhile since we visited. Food still tasty.

SKIP THIS PLACE tl:dr gets orders wrong and will try to blame you, angry wait staff, cash only.
You might be tempted by the fact that there’s open tables and there won’t be a wait, but there’s a reason for that.
The service from the younger waiter was somewhat pleasant, the lady dropping the food at the tables is a different story. Every time we say thank you, all we got was an angry “yea”. Then the waiter got our order wrong and they brought out fried spring rolls when we ordered fresh spring rolls. We know he made the mistake because we confirmed with him if the spring rolls came with peanut sauce as opposed to the fried rolls that come with fish sauce.
When we brought it to their attention, they made it seem like it was our fault, but then I reminded the waiter “remember we asked about the peanut sauce.” And he shyly said “oh, yea.”
Then when it finally came time to pay, I handed over my card and the same waiter said “cash only”. Mind you there is no signage anywhere in the restaurant indicating so. So we had to scrounge up all the cash that we had on us or stashed away in the car just to pay for our meal. We ended up finding the exact amount of cash which left them no tip, fortunately. If I knew they were cash only, I wouldn’t have even gone here, which I guess is the reason why they don’t have signs in the first place.
On top of all that the food was pretty mediocre. You can tell that it was made from low quality ingredients with minimal effort. My Bún bò Huế (pictured below) was nothing to write home about and was pretty bland.
There are plenty of better, cheaper and more courteous places in San Jose. No wonder they were completely empty on a Sunday night.

2 stars is for the food since it’s been our go-to place for rice plates for several years. Although service was always typically the bare minimum as with most Vietnamese restaurants, our most recent visit will be our last. It first started when we placed our rice plate orders. Both my bf and I ordered an extra sunny side up egg with our plates but yet, only my bf’s plate had an egg and mine didn’t. When I told the server, she seemed confused and just rudely shrugged her shoulders before going back to the kitchen to ask about it. We then overheard her telling the kitchen that she doesn’t remember me ordering an additional egg, which did not make sense since she was the one that took our order and I speak fluent Vietnamese. After my egg was brought out, I was still polite and didn’t make a fuss about it as I know mistakes happen when it’s busy. What really set us off was after we already paid for our meals and left the tip on the table, we went to the restroom and came back out to catch the same server complain to another server that we only left $15 on the table with a stank face. $15 on a $40 tab (~37%) is too low for you doing the bare minimum (taking our order, bringing food out, no refills, no apology for forgetting items)?! I’m honestly more shocked that she had the audacity to make these comments while we were still in the restaurant like she couldn’t at least wait until we left LOL. My bf said I should’ve went back in there and take the money back but I’m not one to cause a scene over a couple bucks. They’re definitely going to lose so many customers if that girl continues to work there.

I was recommended this Vietnamese restaurant from friends. The food was delicious and flavorful. Price is affordable for me. Must try “cơm tấm” here. Will come back when I approach Little Saigon.

I’m basing my review off only trying the chicken pho. It was probably the worst chicken pho I have ever had. It looks decent and normal in the picture, but the flavor and taste was not good. The chicken tasted like straight out the freezer and boiled. The chicken was dry and I had to sip a lot of broth with each bite, thats almost impossible with chicken soup!!? ♂️ It also didn’t have the pho aroma nor taste, it just tasted like regular chicken broth. I guess this place is more known for their combo plate which I probably will not try nor come back.

They do accept credit card. This listing is wrong, more people should come here because they didn’t increase their prices like other restaurants.

I had dinner with @lindsaybtb at my favorite mom-and-pop Broken Rice (Cơm Tấm) spot, Cơm Tấm Thanh. It may not be the fanciest place, but the food is absolutely delicious and incredibly affordable. My friend ordered the broken rice with Korean ribs, while I went with my go-to dish—vermicelli with BBQ pork and egg rolls. Every bite was packed with texture and flavor! If you’re in the Little Saigon area, definitely check them out.
FYI, they’re open from 9 AM to 9 PM, unlike the other spot that closes in the afternoon!
