Today my husband and I were excited to try Com Tam Thien Hao. We ordered #44 - broken rice with Korean style beef ribs, spending about $21.
We genuinely wanted to enjoy our meal, but we were surprised by how small the portions were for the price, compared to other Com Tam places in the area. The beef ribs were also extremely salty, to the point where it was hard to finish. I mentioned it politely to a woman who seemed to be the owner or manager, half wearing a black hat, just to share the feedback. Instead of a quick apology or even a simple “I understand,” she responded, “You’ve already eaten it, so what do you want to change?” I wasn’t asking for a replacement, and I wasn’t trying to get anything out of it. I just wanted to let her know in case other customers feel the same. I just expected a little kindness and professionalism. She said it was marinated that way, then turned away, mumbled something under her breath, and walked inside without saying anything else.
We left feeling unsatisfied and dismissed. It was disappointing because we came in excited and hopeful. There are many broken rice restaurants in the are with bigfer portions for the price and better service. A little respect would have gone a long way

This is a hole in the wall type restaurant. Waiting was long, very crowded and noisy. Table next to each other, feel like sardines. Their food plate #41 (broken rice with steam cake, grill shrimp paste on sugar cane, BBQ pork) and #45 (rice vermicelle with bbq pork and grill shrimp), both dishes were delicious, generous portion, enough to share. I won't dine in but definitely will order to go next time.

We saw this place from the street and decided to try it. We were pleasantly surprised by how good it was! The bún thịt nướng chả giò was delicious and the thịt nướng is cooked very well. We will be back again

The owner (female) is so mean to my 91-year-old uncle. She has no patience with an elderly person. Attitude, rude, arrogant. Other workers are kind. The food is good, especially the grilled pork. Do not order the stuffed tofu. It is not fresh and it is not shrimp, but usually minced pork. 3 stars from Canada!

Great broken rice small restaurant
Great food with large portions, with very kind waitstaff.
Price went up significantly, and the portion seemed to be smaller than usual. Food tastes good as always, though.
Amazing pho not a bad price I was able to split this with one other person and we couldn’t even finish it was so big
