De Nhat Com Tam - Main St, Westminster

My dad and I ate com tam bi thit nuong here and had a stomach ache all day and the next day. I highly recommend not coming here.

GO TO COM TAM THANH FOR GOOD PRICE BROKEN RICE Com Tam Thanh, a revered gem nestled in a quiet corner of Westminster, has stood the test of time, serving as a cherished Sunday morning tradition for my family for as long as I can remember. The familiar faces of the unchanging staff, who seem to have defied the passage of time, have been a constant presence since my childhood days. Even as I've grown from an 8-year-old to a 24-year-old, the essence of this place has remained unaltered.The flavors, the broth, the essence of the broken rice--it's all a harmonious tribute to tradition, a taste that evokes the nostalgia of every visit over the years. Com Tam Thanh is not just a restaurant; it's a cornerstone of Vietnamese culinary heritage in Orange County, a place where locals share stories and create lasting memories around a table laden with classic, authentic dishes.Though tucked away in a lesser-known corner, its fame among the Vietnamese community in OC is undisputed, a testament to the unwavering quality and legacy that Com Tam Thanh has woven into the fabric of the community. For those in search of an authentic and timeless experience, this is where the heart of Vietnamese cuisine beats in full rhythm.

This is my to go spot for com tam. Been coming here with my family since I was a kid. Service is quick and food comes out fast. Everything is simple yet so tasty. Rice plate comes with a small soup and nuoc mam. They accept both cash and card.

Albeit I grew up eating at this location, I always love it here. Waiting for a solid sized table (about 6 people) never really takes longer than 10 minutes, and the service is top notch. I never have to wave down a waiter/waitress to take our order, and our food comes out in minutes. While I myself don't enjoy the chili in the fish sauce (my siblings call me crazy) their fish sauce is still one of the best in Westminster, if not all of SoCal. I highly recommend coming to this place as it's a very fast and delicious joint to grab some Broken Rice!My opinions on the Broken Rice options:BBQ Pork: I believe that this is the Magnum opus of Thanh Restaurant, as it is one of few places that serves this with a sauce, which brings a lot of flavor to the dish. BBQ Pork Chop: Great for eating in person, and the taste is amazing! Its only drawback is that unlike the BBQ Pork, it does not have a sauce, albeit still full of flavor. BBQ Chicken: Personally I'm not a fan, but for chicken lovers or those seeking a healthier option this will be on the same level as the BBQ Pork. BBQ Beef: Again like the BBQ Pork Chop, I wish it was saucy. Otherwise quality and taste is on point with the others. Egg Pork Cake: In comparison to other Broken Rice Restaurants, I believe this one tops them all. Mainly because it doesn't have mushrooms (I'm not a big fan of mushrooms). Julienne Pork: A great side dish to go along with a meat of your choice. Albeit is slightly bland, the fish sauce pairs perfectly with it. Makes a great second meal if you order a large to go dish with the side of the Julienne Pork. Make sure though to keep it cold! Chinese Sausage: A fried version of this Costco classic. What more needs to be said? (yum)The other Broken Rice dishes I unfortunately cannot try due to my allergies to seafood, But I have heard good things about the BBQ Shrimp with the red sauce. All in all, a solid choice for those looking to try Broken Rice, and those looking for amazing taste. Do note that they now take card! No American Express though.

Definitely one of Westminster's hole-in-the walls. It's tucked away in an unassuming corner, and the interior is something you'd expect from a typical Vietnamese restaurant. But the food is incredible. I was craving com tam, so I decided to give Thanh a try, and it did not disappoint.I got the com tam plate with bi, cha, thit nuong, and tau hu ky. Everything was really well-seasoned, the colors were bright, and the portion size was really great for the price. I left really stuffed. Also, the staff were really warm. All of the ladies that I interacted with were really kind and radiated great vibes. The service was also efficient and fast. Definitely give them a try if you're craving com tam!
