The atmosphere is friendly and engaging, making it a perfect spot for both solo diners and families seeking a hearty meal.

One standout dish is the Com Tam Suon Bi Tau Hu Ky, a savory BBQ pork chop accompanied by shredded pork skin and a delectable fried shrimp cake.

I ordered the special rice with everything (I think it's 43 or something, the one with Korean beef short ribs, not pork). The soup was a bit salty, the dipping sauce was good. The boneless short rib was a bit chewy. Give it a try and let me know what you think

Food is good as always and the portion is very decent. It would fill me up until afternoon.

The food wasn't bad, but I felt that the broken rice was a little bit drier than usual. The meat was well-seasoned and tasted good with the rice. However, the fish sauce was a bit too salty for my liking. Overall, it's a decent broken rice restaurant.

I would say this is the best restaurant for Com Tam from my own experience. I ordered Com Tam Suon Bi Tau Hu Ky (BBQ Pork Chop, Shredded skin, and Fried Shrimp Cake) as usual but this time I added a fried egg to it. It was amazing as usual and I have been returning to this restaurant multiple times whenever I crave some Com Tam. The staff are nice. The wait might be long as it is quite popular so be prepared to wait if you go during busy times or go as a big group since this restaurant is a bit small. Though, I strongly recommend this restaurant if you haven't tried Com Tam before or are craving it just like me!

Owner is very dedicated and is an expert at her craft of Vietnamese food. You’ll definitely be feed well and experiencing flavor town. Would recommend this spot for any other travelers near the Westminster area wanting something tasty and delicious.

Decided to try something different for lunch in Little Saigon today. Instead of opting for the many Phở places in Little Saigon, I went here and tried some Cơm Tấm. It tasted great and the portion size was generous. I liked the texture of the meat and the shrimp on the sugar cane as well as the shredded pork which complemented the rice. Dining experience was pretty good, my waiter was friendly.

It’s correct with the rating’s average. Everything was well done enough for 4 stars.
