Com Tam Dat Thanh — Restaurant in San Jose

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...

Massive portions, quick service, and delicious food! It might seem pricey at first but the portions and quality of food is worth it.

They have all the combination of broken rice dishes you could every want! Tried #7, #59, and their egg rolls. The plates came with beef ribs, fried shrimp cake, grilled shrimp, veggies, soup, and #7 included extra items like the sugarcane shrimp, shredded pork skin, and egg cake. The flavor of the beef was delicious, and their fried shrimp cake is huge and well made. Despite getting it to go, when I got home to eat it it was still nice and crispy!

Their eggs rolls are amazing too. Filling was tasty and good skin to filling ratio. And Vietnamese coffee is a must at any viet place. It’s sweet, creamy, and strong!

Staff was really nice, I walked into the store and they recommended me items to pick. My order took about 10 minutes ...

No frill com tam (broken rice plate). Broken rice is a vietnamese rice plate that uses broken rice (tiny rice) that you usually mix with fish oil (you don't have to but I like it that way). The rice plate typically comes with pork chop, egg cake, shrimp cake etc.

This place is inside a strip mall and there really isn't much deco but it's clean and that's good enough. A lot of rice plate places are called Com Tam Thanh but so I can see why this is named such way. I think the pork chop here is bigger than the others but the other stuff such as egg cakes are not as good (but close enough). It's not particularly cheaper than other places but the best part is that this is also not as crowded as the more popular broken rice places.

Service is good enough for such simple place. The place is bigger...
