Com Ga Nam An

There are just a few specialized restaurants that focus on only chicken as the main protein in menu. This one, and they certainly put out an excellent menu. Whether your preference is Hainanese style chicken rice or grilled chicken salad you won't go wrong. We don't usually eat in restaurant but the service is adequate for the level of busyness. The dining area is a bit old/dated but adequately tidy. A big plus is they have a relatively large parking lot so you don't have to park on the street. This is truly helpful when there is church service on Sunday. Don't miss out on the grilled lemon grass marinated chicken with rice or over cabbage salad.To go orders are always prompt and correct.

Food: 3/5Service: 4/5Price: 2/5Value: 2/5I've ordered from here 4 times over this past year, both rice and phở entrees, and while their price is generally on the high end of phở places in San Jose, their quality doesn't match the price. The food is very basic, mediocre in quality, yet cost over $20+ on average.This has never been my goto place for phở; it's been more from convenience.

I have never been served so little chicken with my cơm gà & miến gà... I'm actually shocked this place has decent ratings. The meat is paper thin. The skin is almost thicker than the meat. And there are so few pieces. Each dish was $22 before taxes and tip. So I spent over $50 for maybe 2 oz of chicken. That is insane. As for the food, the rice was unseasoned. The chicken was tasteless. The sauces are yummy, but they're the only source of flavor. That's not how cơm gà hải nam should be. I will never stray from Phở Gà An Nam again. I've learned my lesson. How are you guys eating here??? Couldn't be me. Never again.

Lemongrass Chicken 100% must try! This is my comfort food every time I'm in San Jose! Simple but very delicious big serving too!

We love Hainan chicken and this place was rated high on Yelp and it serves all chicken.We got the Hainan Chicken plate and chicken pho. Both were a disappointment. Hainan chicken is usually all about the ginger sauce. If you mess up on the sauce then the whole dish is messed up. Well, the sauce was lacking flavor.The chicken pho was bland and lacking flavor too. The noodles were over cooked so it was mushed and soggy.It was either a bad day for the chef or we clearly ordered the wrong items. We didn't have a good experience here. The dishes were also priced at $17-$18 each.The only item we got that was good was the pandan mung bean drink. It honestly tastes like 7 Leaves in OC. Really good.2.5 on food, the service bumped it to a 3.

Spectacular food. A small restaurant, with a delicious menu. The pho was great and the star of the show was the lemongrass chicken. Everyone raved about it and we have a new favorite restaurant. The waiter (owner?) was kind and helpful. We'll be back soon!!

When I went during lunch time, it was not busy. The workers were friendly and we didn't wait that long for our food. Good hole in the wall spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Plenty of seating as well. I ordered the Com Ga Nam An which is hainan chicken with chicken rice.I wished they gave more pieces of chicken. The rice and chicken tasted fresh and satisfying. They provided 3 different sauces. My favorite sauce was the fish sauce. Definitely cleaned my plate at this place. The onions and the tomatoes went well with chicken and rice.The meal also came with chicken broth which went well with the dish.

Visited on a Sunday evening and the place was empty, no lines, no waits, instant service. The staff was friendly, helpful, efficient, and gave us everything we needed without even having to ask. The restaurant was clean, plenty of tables and seating inside, and two TVs at the corners, one playing a show (either on mute or really low volume), the other with changing images of nature and playing meditation music (or "healing melody" as noted on the screen), something like what you may hear at a spa or massage parlor... that was different (for a restaurant setting) but cool, as we shared conversation while enjoying our meals. We got the #3 (grilled lemongrass chicken with rice) and #11 (pho with chicken giblets). My bf especially liked the Hainan chicken pieces, and noted the tiny spicy jalapenos/ peppers that came on the side (I tried it, and it was super spicy!). I absolutely loved the grilled lemongrass chicken dish. The chicken didn't have a whole lot of seasoning but still had really good flavor, juicy and grilled perfectly with a nice char. It came with sauce/broth on the side, but didn't really need it, as it was good on its own. It was also a good-sized helping, two pieces of chicken, plenty of rice (I probably only finished half), and fresh pickled veggies that weren't too sour. Everything was tasty while not heavy on the sodium, which is exactly what we wanted. Plus we got a free soda with Yelp check-in. Overall, we had a great experience, and I'd definitely return.

Came in when it wasn't busy, so got all of the boss's attention. Got the AC turned on and everything. I ordered the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and it was really good, crispy and tasty with some nice chicken rice, sauce, and veggies.

Wanted to try this place out before we moved away since we saw so many great reviews.We got the lemongrass chicken, hainan chicken, and chicken pho. Lemongrass chicken was pretty good. Really liked the sauce that they give with it. Makes it extra flavorful.Hainan chicken was surprisingly tasty. The only thing is the amount of chicken you get is insanely small. As you can see from my photo, it literally looks like one chicken drumstick sliced onto the plate. So while the chicken had good flavor...there was barely any chicken on the plate. The rice could've been more aromatic and flavorful is as well.The chicken pho was very bland. Which was surprising due to the good reviews. But the broth was incredibly under seasoned and bland.My husband liked the lemongrass chicken the best. I liked the hainan chicken the best but there just needs to be more hainan chicken on the plate. Overall I'd say it's a 3.5
