Com Tam Thanh — Restaurant in Campbell

Their specialty is broken-rice dishes and they do it very well. I always get it with shredded pork skin and Korean beef rib (Cơm Tấm Bì Sườn Bò Đại Hàn) and have never been disappointed. Broken rice offers a textural variation more than flavorwise so the soft pork rinds add a heap of both.

The crosscut Galbi ribs are drizzled with savory green-onion oil and fried shallots. On the side, some cucumber and pickles (Đồ Chua, the familiar daikon-and-carrot mix along with cabbage) are more than just a garnish and impart a crunchy zing. Accompanied by blended fish sauce (Nước Chấm) and a small—insanely hot—Thai chili pepper, the flavors meld kaleidoscopically, ringing totally authentic.

I usually also order the grilled pork sausage roll appetizer (Nem Nướng Cuốn) which, along with the entree, fill me up for the rest of the day. Like regular spring rolls (Gỏi Cuốn) they come wrapped in moistened rice paper and need to be eaten immediately before it dries out stiff. In addition to the veggies you find in fresh spring rolls, there is a surprise crunch provided by fried wonton wrapper. Dipped greedily into the cool peanut sauce topped with chopped, roasted peanuts and a dollop of sriracha, the warm meat is a counterpoint in temperature, taste, and bite.

I don’t bother with the many other dishes they offer. They may be wonderful for all I know but this restaurant boasts a specialty in its name and that’s what you...

A great lunch @ Com Tam Thanh

If you're in search of an unforgettable Vietnamese dining experience, look no further than Com Tam Thanh .Their vermicelli with grilled pork and Eggrolls are nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, and every bite will transport you to the bustling streets of Vietnam.

From the moment you step into the restaurant you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. I love their vermicelli with Egg rolls and grilled pork. The vermicelli noodles are perfectly cooked, light, and refreshing, providing a delightful base for the dish. The grilled pork is the highlight—juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned with a smoky char that enhances its natural flavors. Accompanied by fresh herbs, crisp lettuce, and crunchy peanuts, each mouthful is a symphony of textures and tastes. The dipping sauce, a harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and savory notes, ties everything together in a way that's truly mesmerizing. In addition to the outstanding food, the service at Com Tam Thanh @ Bascom is top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure you have a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, this is a...

This place got the good foods for me. Bánh mì sandwiches here are so good, I dare say they have the Sài Gòn authentic taste (just-enough chili peppers on plenty of other fresh condiments), but with more meat like we have here in California, know what I mean, jelly... The Spring rolls here are, out of this world! Literally so because I knew of nothing like this in my.. world. This fresh mango Vietnamese spring rolls. Awesomely fresh and firm, not ripen. Personally, I call it The Fusion Spring Rolls. While retaining everything as traditionally Vietnamese including the special dipping sauce, this roll wears the mango badge of honor. Man, all the flavors come alive on my taste buds. Sweet! I think there's a collection of spring rolls here . Guess what I got last week which filled my tummy good: the fried fish spring rolls. Yummy! Cơm Tấm Thanh. One of my favorite 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ restaurants...
