"Com Tam Thuan Kieu" is like a brand name for Vietnamese restaurant at least to our family. Back in the country in the 80's my old house was across the street of one...so..anyway every time we came to California for Disneyland we tried to take any chance to eat at this restaurant...today we got that chance...and here's my review. The food was awesome. It's worth the money you paid for. However the service is terrible...We came in and sit down and the old man will pass out the menus as in throwing on the table in your face style. We didn't even have a full 3 minutes to read it he came back and asked "order yet?" We politely asked for more time...another 2 mins he came back "order now?" I would just picked whatever..its like he wanted us in and out quick...and then I noticed he did the same thing with another family... whatever problem with this guy, it would push customer like us away...I dont need a server to act nice and serve with a smile but this guy manner it's just not worth it even the food is great...we definitely will not come back...there are other Com Tam Thuan Kieu in this area. Update July 2019: we were in the area and decided to stop by again. We were sort of joking that we missed the old man rudeness and liked to see what he would pull this year. Well he wasn't there this time. (Sadface). The food was above ok. They might have up the price a bit. Quality is ok. Service is ok this time. I wish they clean up their restroom a bit. It's...

Read moreThe food was fine, but customer service wasn't good. Me and my family came at 9 am on Wednesday. It wasn't busy. Tables were unoccupied and and it seemed like we were the first customers of the day. The waiter sat from a distance and only came when we waved at him. Because it was early, my mom wondered if we had to wait a bit for the food. She asked the waiter politely, but he answered as if it was an annoying question. He said it depended on what the order was. Since the reviews said the serving portions were big, I ordered 2 plates of broken rice for 3 people. He replied, "So only two?". We spoke Vietnamese so I understood his attitude. After getting the menu brochures back, he threw them at another table rudely. The food was ready in a few minutes. Overall, it wasn't bad, but wasn't very good either. Quality was just average. The "chạo tôm", egg cake shrimp sausage, tasted more like shrimp/fish balls. That morning was my first visit there, but I don't think we...
