Com Tam Thien Huong

I usually go to the VN town location since it's close to my home. But ended up here for dinner with friends. I have never tried their pho, but it seems to be popular since they're always advertising their pho. I think it might be the cheapest in San Jose too (under $15). Their pho was good actually! Perfect saltiness. I finished almost everything. As for their green waffle, we got it to share and it's ok. Better off getting green waffle from Nuoc Mia Vien Dong 2 @ VN Town.

This place is my go-to for a solid com tam (Vietnamese broken rice) meal. Every time I come here, I stick with my favorite--#38: BBQ beef rib with fried shrimp cake. It's a perfect combo that always hits the spot.The BBQ beef rib is well-marinated, flavorful, and grilled just right--slightly charred on the edges but still juicy inside. The fried shrimp cake is crispy on the outside, soft and bouncy on the inside, and packed with shrimp flavor. The plate also comes with a side salad and a small bowl of soup, which balances out the heaviness of the main dishes. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving a good com tam plate!

We met up with some family for dinner. Com Tam Thien Huong is located in the Silver Creek Plaza next to R&B Tea, Outdoor Supply Hardware, etc. The parking is plentiful, so no worries on finding a spot. The restaurant's decor is simplistic and uncluttered.Pho Dac Bien: Rare, flank, fat brisket, tendon, meatball (3/5). The broth was a bit subdued. The proteins were plentiful and good.BBQ Porkchop with Rice (3.5/5). Flavorful, smoky, sliced porkchop pieces. Assam Black Tea w/pearls (3.5/5). Good tea flavor and the boba was soft and chewy.The service was nice and quick.

Fast. Not very clean, but clean enough. Very yummy beef ball noodle soup with thick noodles. Convenient. They do a ridic amount of takeout! Very popular in the local community it seems.

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Com Tam Thien Huong is located inside a strip mall with parking available in the private lot. Dining is indoors exclusively and some staff wore nitrile gloves.There was a sign outside the restaurant featuring a $12.95 holiday Pho promotion. The menu featured Pho starting at $13. They did have a 4% cash promotion stuck on the front door.Ordered the Pho dac biet and it was phenomenal. Portions were generous and the rice noodles were fresh. The cuts of meat were tender including a couple pieces of tendon along with a few pieces of raw beef. The broth was light and fragrant. Most importantly, the broth wasn't oily.Service was quick and easy too!

One the go to spots for a Vietnamese mixed rice plate. There's alot of variety including rice, noodles, appetizers and even boba! They recently remodeled and the place looks more bright and welcoming. The service is quick and the food also comes out quickly too. Note that if you order a rice plate togo, it doesn't come with soup on the side. Only for dine in orders will have soup. Pro tip. Pay in cash to get a 4% discount.

Rice dishes are always enjoyable here. I love the BBQ meats and side. Pho is among the better ones I've had. Service is moderate, but I guess that's because they are always busy when I come, which is proof of how popular they are in the area among locals. Decor is pleasant here with new, wooden, well-maintained surfaces. Overall, it's a very pleasant, presentable, nicely decorated place for friends and family.

TBH, I've tried plenty of com tam places in the South Bay and even Orange County, but noooothing ever beats Com Tam Thien Huong! They have a couple of other locations around San Jose, but this location is honestly one of the cleanest; it feels a bit more spacious and modern too. Just be prepared for a wait, especially if you're coming on a weekend lunch!My go-to is always the com tam suon nuong. The pork chops here are absolutely delicious, and there's something about the way they grill the meat where you can taste a strong char that makes it taste so good. The quality has always been consistent every time I've visited, though they've gotten a bit more expensive over the years as they've grown in popularity.They're super quick to get your food out, and pretty friendly here. We came this past weekend, and they were having a promo with BOGO drinks too!

We been here 2X in 2 yr in a row when we're in town for family visit. This place is packed from the moment it opens. It locates in a strip mall so easy parking and minimal decor so clean cut and easy cool ambiance. The services is good as it get but the foods speak for it self, we got broken rice w/ 5 types of meats. It was fantastic, the grilled meat and the shrimp tofu are my favs but the fish cause just took it to another level so you got to try it when you're here. Also we got egg roll (since too much of Thanksgiving foods so in need for quick Asian finger licking good, and it does it spot. Good, not great. Also got a beef noodle bowl since it cold in them morning, again hit the spot - good soup and big bowl too. But I would just come here for the broken rice dish only.

IMO one of the best Com Tam in the area, I heard the pho was good but usually, you come here for their specialty in Com Tam. A full plate combo usually fills you up and the portion is decent, but they do give alot of rice. Price range is the most expensive compared to other Com Tam restaurant, but the quality here is better than the others. The provided broth soup has more flavor than other Com Tam places. For those who never got Com Tam before, I recommend the Korean BBQ Beef, with the fried shrimp wrap. The provided soup helps cut down the savory-ness of the food.
