Today at 1:20pm I went to eat com tam Thanh Story road, I don't understand how they can run their business, they grill meat that's not cooked, it's still raw and they give it to customers, and I say the meat is raw, they change it. Give me another piece, still alive like that.

I ordered Cháo Lòng at this restaurant I paid $18/bowl but I can't eat, tasted so bad, don't buy Cháo (porridge) at this restaurant. I guess everything else should be the same since the chef has no respect for his customers and could sell something like this.

Food here is nostalgic- perfectly seasoned and cooked food! Service is super fast and the staff here are very nice! Place has been the same for years and nostalgic every time I visit! Restaurant is spacious and plenty of tables. I will continue to return for good Vietnamese com tam. Recommend bringing cash - cash only!

Very good pork chops, shredded pork, and Chinese sausage rice plate. They still don't take credit cards. I gave them another try.

Craving a Vietnamese rice plate with pork, egg with pork, shrimp with a side of soup. Also got a fish with side of rau muon and and an ice coffee. Tasty, nice texture. Felt home cooked. Service was nice.

I am a fan. The buy 4 get 1 free banh mi deal is nice and that's what I would get here. Drinks: no options for sweetness, so it's full sugar and boba is okay. Flavors are nice but with the full sugar, it can be a little too much. Pork Vermicelli dish: comes with pickles, cilantro, rice vermicelli, a good amount of greens and marinated bbq pork. Spring rolls: the time I ordered them it was just okay. I like mine wrapped super tight, and these ones were not, and a little light on filling too. Banh mi: in store the bread was crispy and fresh, I felt like they had enough fillings and daikon/carrots along with the marinated pork was so yummy. When I came back and ordered the 4 for 5 deal, they even packaged my veggies separate so that it wouldn't get soggy and I could toast the bread at home. How nice!! The servers are nice overall, but it's not super fast as other Vietnamese restaurants are. It takes a while for them to notice and seat you or to pay. As said at the top, I would focus on the banh mi and marinated pork. So yummy.

Music was too much loud. They served stale meat but also soup was cold. And customer service was aweful.The worst part is, they wanted to get cash and didn't want to accept card. Are they doing tax evasion?I will give one star for this.

Food is good and lower price than other restaurants and you're not paying for fancy decor to eat here. The place generally simple and clean but a bit out dated but people here are friendly and found didn't take too long to come out.

2 stars is for the food since it’s been our go-to place for rice plates for several years. Although service was always typically the bare minimum as with most Vietnamese restaurants, our most recent visit will be our last. It first started when we placed our rice plate orders. Both my bf and I ordered an extra sunny side up egg with our plates but yet, only my bf’s plate had an egg and mine didn’t. When I told the server, she seemed confused and just rudely shrugged her shoulders before going back to the kitchen to ask about it. We then overheard her telling the kitchen that she doesn’t remember me ordering an additional egg, which did not make sense since she was the one that took our order and I speak fluent Vietnamese. After my egg was brought out, I was still polite and didn’t make a fuss about it as I know mistakes happen when it’s busy. What really set us off was after we already paid for our meals and left the tip on the table, we went to the restroom and came back out to catch the same server complain to another server that we only left $15 on the table with a stank face. $15 on a $40 tab (~37%) is too low for you doing the bare minimum (taking our order, bringing food out, no refills, no apology for forgetting items)?! I’m honestly more shocked that she had the audacity to make these comments while we were still in the restaurant like she couldn’t at least wait until we left LOL. My bf said I should’ve went back in there and take the money back but I’m not one to cause a scene over a couple bucks. They’re definitely going to lose so many customers if that girl continues to work there.

It's a good stop-by place if you're in a rush, they make their food very quickly. Quick service and food; however, their quality isn't the best. Within that area, you most likely would want to go towards Viet Town or Grand Century.
