Cơm Tấm Thuận Kiều

Big portions and good value. Food was okay, but the service was disappointing. The restaurant didn’t feel very clean, which affected the overall dining experience.

The secret to great com tam is the fish sauce!! And the sauce was really good!! The price was very reasonable for the amount of food you get!!

Everything was delicious and I loved how reasonable priced it was. The plate was enough for me and another person to share. In terms of service, it’s just any other Vietnamese restaurant and they are all trying their best and that’s all you can ask for.

Food was great with large portions! The only thing to say is that it is a tiny place and can get quite hot inside

Food is decent. I got the broken rice with chicken, shrimp, and shrimp cake. They were out of soda, so I got the iced coffee. Don’t expect a warm welcome here. This place is crowded and they really don’t seem to care if you are happy with the customer service. My wife asked to order and the guy raised his hand to her face as he continued to walk by. I don’t speak Vietnamese, but she does and she told me he said he will be right back. All said and done it was about $30 for two meals and drinks. I’ll try somewhere else next time I feel like broken rice.

Compared to the last time I was here, the place has vastly improved. It was weird that the small bowls of soup came after the rice plates, but the quality and taste of the food was good.

BIG PORTION. I mean with the competitive price, this restaurant offer good quality of Com Tam with a big portion. If you are petite like me, highly recommend to share it with your friends. Look at my pictures and you will see how big it is. My favorite is bbq pork, tofu and eggs. I also love their soda sữa hột gà. Highly recommend.

This is an old school restaurant. Food is decent. Meals will cost between 18-20 depending on what you order per person

tried broken rice for the first time! my Vietnamese friend and her family took me to this spot. it was really yummy and I loved customizing my plate with the different toppings. i got the shrimp cake wrapped in tofu and the grilled chicken and my friend let me try a few bites of the quiche, shredded pork, and grilled pork! No complaints about the service! The lady was very nice to us. The restaurant is very big and spacious. Lots of available tables! Big tables as well for if you have a larger party.

Their food is quite good, but I would not say it's a "must-try". Their delicious selections was enough to satisfy my very Vietnamese mom, but she considers it "it's okay". As someone that comes from Escondido where there is only 1 viet restaurant, this is a good place to try some relatively more authentic viet food. The plates in the pictures I've attached are $25 each, and 2 plates of this was enough to fully feed my party of 3.

My friend's parents own this restaurant and have always enjoyed their food because she caters the food at her parties. The egg rolls, chicken and veggie noodles are seriously so good. I begged her to tell me their restaurants name finally went with my friend and we both enjoyed their food so much. Told my coworkers to go visit as well and many of them grew up going here and still love the food! The ambiance is very quiet and lowkey, I can tell lots of families come here and it has a really family welcoming vibe

Com Tam Thuan Kieu is located in a busy plaza in Westminster. I came here after shopping at ABC market because I was craving com tam. I love com tam saur much ... for sure one of my favorite viet dishes. This place was yummy and authentic... I'd rate this place a 3.4/5 ONLY because the service was a little slow & I also felt like it wasn't super clean. Despite that, I also love how they give you a free soup in the beginning too :-)

Com bi cha thit nuong is my go to plate when I get com tham. Food is great, fair portions, and it comes out quick. They have a variety of com tham options but I stick to the basics. Service is fair. I've been coming here since before when the business was My Nguyen.

We would never recommend and come back to this restaurant. The foods were so bad that we had food poisoning, and the bathroom is so disgusting. This restaurant should be report and D rating. Don't waste money to come here!!!

My family came here twice. Food was okay but service is not that great ! Very reasonable price.

I've been eating here because it reminds me of my grandma years ago. The food and the service is decent.

This location is located in a very busy shopping center. So after your dining, you can walk next door and shop at ABC grocery, grab a little snack at Van's Bakery, check out the lottery shop, etc. My family are picky eaters. I was very nervous when we first walked in. The place is a bit run down and no other customers were there except for us. We almost walked out, but glad we stayed. My oh my! Delicious food. Huge portion. Great prices. The meat was marinated to perfection. The pickled cabbage and carrot were crunchy and fresh. The fish sauce had the right amount of sour and spicy. My tip is that order their broken rice dishes because that is what they are known for. I ordered Bun Cha Ha Noi and it was such a let down. But I highly recommend their broken rice dishes. 4 stars because service wasn't great and the restaurant is very very outdated.

So it was my first time trying here but probably will be my last. Food was good and portion size but I found some kind of metal looking pieces in my food. I hope that they will see this review and do a careful job on handling their food.

Get the 7 course for 18.99 can literally feed 2-3 ppl unless you have a disgustingly massive appetite like me lol sooo good! It comes with soup, the dish contains rice, pickled veggies, cucumber, shredded pork, pickled bbq pork, egg cake, shrimp cake, pork sausage, egg roll and fish sauce. This is my favorite Vietnamese dish and this place always delivers!

The food here is really good. The service is non existent but what do you really expect from while in the wall Asian places? Lol, came in on a Wednesday morning for some breakfast and my food came out super fast and piping hot. Everything tasted so fresh and soup they give to on the side is really comforting and that piece of pork was really tender :) the pandan soy milk was light and refreshing and not too sweet. Would order from here again for sure.

Not as good as it used to be. Their recipe and style of the Tau Hu Ky has changed. Its not the same filling and not the same texture. Now its mushy and weird. Service is nonexistent but thats typical for com tam thuan kieu. Its been this way for the past 15 years. This place used to be filled with people eating and buying takeout but now its always empty. It looks rundown and dark inside.

Call here for Togo got hang up on 4 times but call many more....the food here is good but with the service need to improve...so drop by my fiancé and I went in the guy there was so rude so we walk out thank u but no thank u..... y'all just lost our business

This restaurant is just another example of the current trend where restaurants are charging significantly more while cutting corners by serving smaller portions with lowered food quality. I ordered a com bi cha suong nuong ga nuong for takeout and I was furious when I opened the food container. The pork chop was both tiny and paper thin and funny part is the grilled chicken was even worse. There were pathetic pieces of chicken scraps that looked more like broken McDonald's chicken nuggets than actual grilled chicken. The pork chop flavor was heavy on five spice seasoning and there was a sour tasting element in the chicken, possible sign of spoilage. I don't mind being charged more for food so as long as what I'm being served fits the price tag but that is not the case with so many restaurants these days. Sadly this will be another restaurant that my family will not be coming back to after years of being regulars.

Too bad there is no option for 0 star, 1 is generous for me. This used to be our most favorite restaurant, now it's not as good as it used to be. 1) Customer service - zero manner and rude, need to take a course of customer 100. 2) Our favorite dish was com tam ga nuong, we used to get a plate with a fair amount of chicken and freshly cooked. Now we barely get two small chewy pieces with no taste, must be leftover from the day before. 3) Outrageous prices - I do understand the inflation but it's not worth for the amount of food you get for the price 4) The place is run down and the floor is very greasy.

Food is not the best at this location in Westminster. Old atmosphere. Need to remodel. Tight space. Lack of customer service. My family came in first before two other families and we didn't get our food until after. We also had to ask for water. When we asked for a bowl of soup that was suppose to come with the food order, server said "later, i am busy right now." Another family with an infant baby stroller came in to dine. Parked the stroler in the walkway. Instead of politely asking them to move or help find a better seating location, The server yelled across the restaurant, "OMG, who put the stroller here? Lady! Move your stroller please. It's blocking the walkway." That family stood up and left. Did i also mentioned that a piece of hair found in my dish? Yikes! I am not an expert but I highly would say this, customer service is important. The longer the customer waits, the agitated they get. Một lần rồi thôi. Never coming back.

When you have a Broken Rice craving early in the morning. Cơm Tấm Thuận Kiều is one of the classic names when it comes to getting Broken Rice in Little Saigon. However, truth be told, I've never been a fan because regardless of which location you go to, I always found their food to be really oily. While they seem to have every possible protein option known to man, there's a consistently oily quality to the meats that just doesn't do it for me... especially considering how the restaurant itself smells of incense and fish sauce, even early in the morning. I got an order of Broken Rice with Grilled Pork (Thịt Nướng), Grilled Pork Sausage (Nem Nướng), and Egg Rolls as well as an order of Bánh Hỏi (woven rice vermicelli) with Chinese Sausage, Grilled Short Ribs, and a Crispy Chicken Leg. As I mentioned before, almost all of the meats are pretty oily except for the Nem Nướng and the Crispy Chicken Leg. They give you a bowl of pork bone soup before your meal is served, which is probably the least oily portion of the meal. I can talk about how ordering Nem Nướng in any form not from Brodard is almost always a mistake, how I've never encountered Bánh Hỏi as shoddily woven anywhere else, and how TQC on Harbor & Edinger is way better for Cơm Tấm, but none of this is news to anyone who's familiar with the area. The reason to come here, though, is that they open at 8 a.m. in the morning. If you want Broken Rice for breakfast, here you go! Remember that even though they accept credit cards, it's a $20 minimum. Plan accordingly!

Ngon mà nhiều nữa. Mình chắc chắn sẽ dẫn gia đình đi ăn tiếp. The orders are gigantic and so yummy. Reminds me of home. Service is so nice as well.

Tried to call to inquire about catering. Each time I called asked if they offered catering they hung up on me. On the 3rd time I tried calling back and they declined my call. The worst customer service experience I've ever had at a restaurant and I wasn't even there. Won't be giving this place any business

Overall, these dishes were very average compared to a lot of the other options available in the area. The bun Bo broth was more on the sweeter side and I enjoyed that the meat was tender and not chewy like some places can be. However, it is not anything to call home about and I feel like there are better broths around. The com tam was decent and the meat was well seasoned. I was not a fan of the fish sauce which kind of ties the dish together for me when I add everything together and mix. The thit nuong was a little warm, and did not taste freshly cooked or hot, rather it felt like it was recently just microwaved. The egg roll however was really good and crispy and tasted very fresh. For what you're paying I think you are getting your moneys worth and filling yourself up, however the overall quality of the dishes was very average.

Woow Woow! This place has huge portions of food. Just one plate can be split amongst two people. I came here not knowing what to expect, but my sisters bf says that just order one plate for each pair it'll be enough. The plates came out filled with pickled vegetables and different meats. The meats are typical Vietnamese com tam types like the meat loaf, grilled pork, and etc.. I was surprised that for such an affordable price the plate was so big. Will definitely come here again when I come to Cali.

Food is reallyyyyy good, BEST COM TAM I've had around. No lie. The reason for this post is to let people know regardless of what you order, the kalbi short ribs are 2$ more( i re-read the menu over and over, it says items #10-14, maximum pick (2 out of 3 items)). So the short ribs should have been included in the price, but i wasn't gonna stand there arguing with the guy over 2$). So don't be tight, eat right.

Very yummy. Come here for authentic com tam with huge portions! Service is a bit slow, but you will not be let down by the quality of the food. Thank you :-)

Not sure if this is the "original CTTK" or in namesake only...but either way, I think it taste better now than maybe several years ago when I was here. In fact, it's good enough to warrant a yelp review. Personally, I like to keep my rice plate simple and stay with the "tried and true" combination such as Bi (julienne pork) and cha (steamed egg cake w/ ground pork). The rice plate is wickedly satisfying and the small bowl of pork-based broth is just as tasty to pair with the rice plate. I just wish they serve the broth at the same time as the rice plate instead of 10-15 minutes apart. Not sure what's the reason for this house rule but either way, I think it should be served at the same time so they both are hot and delicious instead of lukewarm if you're trying to wait out for both items at the same trip. They also have a 10-item rice plate (large portion and can be shared with a friend). I don't recommend this because it can overwhelm your sense of hunger and you tend to over eat. But then again, folks that like 10-item rice place is not concerned about that ;)

Tiệm không đông nhưng tôi bước vào trước cửa và đợi tầm 10' mới có người ra hỏi để vào bàn. Cơm tấm thì nguội ngắt, sườn thì ướp dở, ăn như có mùi thơm xà phòng mà cũng nguội nốt, chạo tôm thì còn hơi nóng, khá ít nhưng lại đắt đỏ. Phải bỏ thừa vì quá dở.

This was my second time here. I had to look through my past posts to find where I had some tasty Vietnamese food. We enjoyed everything we had. They started us off with tasty broth with tons of flavor. Next we went had some Spring rolls then chicken with broken rice. It was just like we remembered years back. The taste is memorable that we had to come back. I only took one picture since I was too hungry to pause. I will be back and take more pictures later. It is worth our trip.

When we want broken rice, this is our go to restaurant. The food tasted good, and they may not be the best however, they give you a big portion. I like it when you call to order, they give you an order number and when you arrive even in 10 minutes, your food is ready. If we want something quick and don't want to wait. We will go here.

The food was 7/10 the service was 1/10 the picture said $13.50 I was charged $13.75 my mom was charged $15.50 her food was beef instead. I tipped $5 and his face became happy towards me but honestly I think these people just hate their lives or this restaurant! It doesn't make sense to be so gloomy when people are patronizing your business

Poor service. Có một ông già phục vụ rất tệ trong quán này.không biết cách phục vụ, phục vụ kiều đuổi khách.

This place menu looks really good but when the foods came out it's was very disappointing. I don't know what else to say anymore, who will be the next victim?

I absolutely loved the rice dish here! It was incredible huge! Prices here are so affordable and the owners are so very sweet. This is hole in the wall looking place in Westminster, CA right in viet town :) the flavors of the dish was so light yet so powerful that I haven't taste any other place like. I do recommend you come and check this place out if you're in the area. IT IS WORTH IT LOL. Let me know what you guys think! Send me a comment or rate the post! Thank you

The service is super slow. I gave them a 2 because of how dirty the utensils are and on top of that there service was slow. However, there food was a 3. My daughter and I shared the 10-item rice plate it had julienne pork, steamed egg cake with pork, Grilled pork, grilled pork sausage, egg rolls, Tofu shelled shrimp paste, shrimp paste, grilled fish, grilled shrimp, and Chinese sausage. This 10-item meal looks overwhelming but it has a variety of food which is like a great sampler. My son got the marinated short ribs with pork chops and egg rolls. He said it had great flavor. My mom got pork meat balls, grilled pork with vermicelli noodles Ha Noi style. Overall, I would not would not come back to this place.

Very reasonably priced, I'll give them that. Got the plate with 3 items, pork egg frittata, egg roll and pork meat special. The meat was way too sweet but overall everything was ok, good prices and staff served us quickly.

Broken Rice Combo Plates okay but broken Rice dry service poor yesterday so dry this place down Hill now I rather go Best com Tam restaurant

A no-frills, true to taste com tam joint. In my hunt for places that taste like the motherland, Com Tan Thuan Kieu does not disappoint. Fast service, generous portions, great price. The tau hu ky is crispy, fresh and delicious, would definitely recommend getting a platter with that on top of some com tam with suon!

My wife had Thuan Kieu bookmarked for a while now, and we decided to give it a try. The place is nestled in a busy mini mall, a few doors down from a big, Vietnamese supermarket (which has great take out dim sum). The parking lot is kind of crazy and crowded. Neither of us had ever had a Broken Rice dish before so we shared the 10 item plattter, which had a bit of everything on it. Pork, Chinese sausage, shrimp tofu, egg rolls, an egg, fish, shrimp, shrimp paste cake, and pickled cabbage. First off, it was big enough for four people. Secondly, it was all very good. It was kind of a hodge lodge of Vietnamese flavors over a bed of "broken" rice (think rice grains cut in half). The shrimp egg roll appetizer was really good too. Especially with the fresh lettuce and basil. And, the most surprising dish was the refreshing, but rich bowl of beef broth. Altogether, it was $27 and we have bought leftovers for two more meals. I would totally come back here again.

Picked up a com tam bi cha suon and after pouring the bi into my rice, it's spoiled... What a huge waste of time, why would a restaurant give you food that's expired?? It literally smells and tastes like shit. I don't know how you wouldn't notice that.

We were recommended to Com Tam from a friend and all I can say, it was one of those neighborhood gems for authentic Vietnamese food. I went with the "Grilled Chicken with Red Rice". I believe the price is around $9. The grilled chicken piece served was thick and the appearance of it looks mighty tasty. There's a brown sauce that goes with this on the side and it gives it a bold, sweet, and salted flavor. Without the sauce the chicken is flavorless. The red rice is pretty much tomato rice, it was slightly seasoned and of course it compliments well with everything on the plate. Also, I would add a fried egg on top for that savory experience. Included is egg rolls, steam egg cakes, cucumbers, pickled carrots and cabbage. For those who are in the mood for grilled chicken, this is it. Our second order is one of their specialty platters. We went for the 7 item plate and for starters I would prefer this choice. You can eat a variety of different items and It's like an Asian sampler on a whole different level. First off, the "Broken Rice" is white rice but with plump textures and shorter grains. "Egg rolls" were super tasty due to its extra crispy wrappings. "Grilled Pork" was tender, easy to eat, and delicious. "Chinese Sausage" has a leaner taste but slightly sweet. "Steam Egg Cakes" to me they were like orange colored airy pancakes, it's actually spongy scrambled eggs. "Fish Cakes" they were chewy and lightly seasoned. "Vermicelli Noodles" were topped with grated peanuts and the noodles goes well with the meats. In the end we had a bulk of leftovers to take home. Not too shabby, considering paying $11 gets you a good amount of food. Our server spoke broken English, but he was friendly and he tried to explain the best he could when we asked questions on certain entrees. You do get a bowl of complimentary soup broth to go with your order. Com Tam's comforting Vietnamese food wins here.

Absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE! My parents have been taking me here for years and I'm still coming back. I live in the SGV and so every time I'm in Westminster this place is hands down worth the drive for my favorite com tam. It is only togo right now due to the stay at home order, which would defer me from going since it's a different experience but this place still packs in so much food! I usually order the 7 meat choice and that is more than enough to share with my mom. For togo, they still give free soup too! My favorite aspect about this place is not only the fact that my mom from Vietnam loves it and compares it to her homeland, but all the meats are char cooked and so the smokey flavors really just shine through. This paired with the pickled vegetables is so perfect; I try to recommend this place to everyone I know and I would suggest you do too if you want them to be amazed!

This used to be my favorite place to dine when I came down to this area before the Pandemic. The restaurant was usually full and I had to wait at least 5-10 minutes for a table. I came back a few months ago and ordered the same dishes _Com Tam with everything on it, Bun Cha Hanoi, and their crispy Vietnamese rolls. All their meats were deep fried and reheated in microwave instead of grilling fresh when ordered. As a result their meats so dead dry and tasted rancid. They now used frozen wheat flour wrapper instead of Vietnamese rice paper. We had a few bites and had to stop. We even refused a doggy bag. Now it makes sense to me why the restaurant was so empty. Cook with pride or close the door.

I had been here before in the past, and the place had change quite a bit, especially in the portion part, we came in a group of four, I ordered my special 10 toppings for myself, then my Mom ordered her regular, same as my aunt and uncle, but the server stopped us from getting 4 orders, he said it would be a lot so just order 3 instead, and he was right, I was smart enough to ask him putting the rice on the side, and finished my topping so I didn't waste any rice, although the rest of my party was struggling to even finish everything on their plates, the taste still the same and the food was plenty, make sure you save room for other foods around the area, cuz you're gonna need it.

This is our go to for Com Tam. This place has been here for a long time and the food is consistently good. Be back soon.

Worst service I got my entire life. The waiter didn't really want to come to my table so he yelled from across the room to see what I needed.

We've been going here for years and for the first time I was curious to see what the reviews were for this place that I consider one of the best places in Little Saigon to get authentic Vietnamese porkchop with broken rice. I find it hilarious that almost all legit Viet places always have bad reviews because of the service. We're definitely not known for that. But if you want good food at a great price you're going to have to forgo the customer service here. Tbh we actually always get it to go! (The plaza it's in is always a little crazy and crowded). The portions are generous and the taste is on point. I have tried so many recipes at home but I can't seem to replicate the taste! anyways 5 stars for one of our family's favorites!

Ordered take out and it was pretty quick. The only downside was the soup was really bland, it didn't have any flavor added, but the combination com tam was really good and had a variety of protein.

Came in for lunch now, had the red rice, pork chop, sausage, egg roll meal. Freaking hands down the one of the best rice dishes ive had. Im vietnamese so I've eaten these rice dishes all Over CA and in Vietnam, great food. I come for the food so ill rate the food only. Im not a yuppy so i come in, order, eat, pay, leave an optinal tip as to thank the chef and staff, and back to work. Vietnamese food and service is for the working class, you wont find hyped up organic white people hyped up and sprinkle on truffle oil and stamp the fish sauce gluten free and name it Chad's Broken Rice Hauz. Its good, its inexpensive and healthier than Mcdonalds and In and Out and, you'll have culturally widened your horizon. Tuan

I've tried Pho and Vietnamese restaurants all over Orange County. I've gotten used to the fact that true Vietnamese restaurants aren't known for their friendly demeanor, welcoming attitude, and always ordering by number, even if you say the name, they still respond "number 23?". If I had known the number, I would have said the number! But I'm learning to accept that's how it is. So I'm going to grade this location basically on its food. While the plate was plentiful, I found it lacking in flavor. I had the short ribs w/white rice. The sauce was so bland it's almost like there wasn't any. My partner had some Pho and only ate half of it. He used to go to this place all the time and said it wasn't as good as it used to be. With that, it was clean and service was prompt (remember, these places bring the food to you when it's ready, not when all the food is finished so someone will get their food earlier than others). Prices were on par with similar restaurants in the area. With so many choices to choose from, we probably won't be back. However others have given this location very high marks so don't let my review deter you, it's simply what I experienced.
