Cơm Tấm Thiên Hương

The Best Restaurants in Sacramento’s Little Saigon Neighborhood | Eater SF

"Com tam (broken rice) is so much more than just a serving of cheap rice that was broken in the milling process. It is traditionally served with an array of side dishes, and at Com Tam Thien Huong you should go for the dac biet that comes with all of them, because they are all exceptional. You should not have to choose between the egg cake shot through with jelly noodles, the shrimp cake encased in crispy-fried tofu skin, the toasty pork skin shreds, the lemongrass-laced pork skewers, or the shrimp meatball grilled on sugar cane—get them all. They also serve an elegant version of the Chinese- inspired dish Hainan chicken rice (uncommon in this area) and the best soda xi muoi (sparkling salty plum drink) going." - Becky Grunewald
