Com Tam Dat Thanh - San Jose, California

We ordered the #2 – Com Tam Thit Nuong (Rice plate with BBQ Pork, Fried Shrimp Cake, etc.) and #73 – Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (BBQ Pork and Egg Rolls). The sauce and chili is self-serve on the table. I added about half the spoon of chili to my sauce, which gave it a kick. Loved the sauce, nice and savory, slighlty sweet, but not too sweet.

The rice plate was delicious, everything was well executed. The pork was slightly on the sweet side, but packed with flavor. It had a nice charred BBQ taste to it. The egg cake was fluffy and had a light taste paired with the sauce was great. The BBQ shrimp was cooked perfect still juicy with a plump texture. The marinated had a sweetness to it and the grill gave it a nice hint of smoky char. The fried Shrimp Cake light and crispy, full of flavor, on the savory side. Grilled Shrimp meat on Sugar was savory. The shredded pork was okay, I could do without it. I didn't try asking for substitute, but next time I would try substituting for BBQ pork instead. It also comes with soup, it was a nice palate cleanser, very strong and savory flavor. The dish did a good job at balancing the sweet and savory flavors. (5 out of 5)

The Vermicelli Pork and Egg Roll was also delicious. Same pork was used for the rice dish. The egg roll used a different type of wrapper than the traditional egg roll. It gave it a more light and crispy texture which I liked. The filling was also packed with meat and flavor.

Everything was well executed and flavorful. The dishes were on the sweet and savory side. The portion size for the rice plate was massive, I was very stuffed after finishing.

It’s incredibly good from food to the service. You have to try their combination dishes which is from the top of the menu for Com Tam. You literally try all kind of food that they have in just one dish. No complaint so far.

Look it's simple the best of the best Vietnamese restaurant around. And I personally like the feel and the lively characters hanging around it.

Been coming here since I was like 6-7 and I still come back and order the SAME thing 20+ years later. Amazing spot. There used to be a man working there that was so friendly cool.

He was there literally for 10+ years and I always called him my uncle lol. My whole family and friends went here. Best spot in town.

I take everyone here.

my favorite com tam/broken rice in the bay area! quick and easy going service, meat is always seasoned well and cooked perfectly, fish sauce is delicious, veggies are fresh. the grilled pork chop is so tasty, as is the egg cake and the shrimp; you pretty much cant go wrong!

Ordered #4 BBQ chicken ($20.95) with added fried egg for $1.95 extra. Service is ok. Had to ask for water refills a few times. Entire plate was delicious!!! Fresh, flavorful and full of texture! Definitely want to try more dishes!
