" The first time I tried Com Tam Thanh was with my family for dinner. The food was overwhelmingly delicious. The grilled meats were flavorful and perfectly cooked, virtually melting in my mouth. Even my picky sibling enjoyed the food! The service, however, lagged at times, particularly when we needed to order extra drinks; but the staff was friendly and checked with us frequently. Overall, great food but a need for quicker service would elevate the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this place, I finally stopped by for lunch. The atmosphere is pretty casual and welcoming, which I liked. I ordered the grilled pork with vermicelli and found it quite tasty. The portion was reasonable, and the pork had that lovely charred taste. However, the service was a bit slow; it felt like forever before someone came to take my order. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I think there’s definitely room for improvement in the service department. I might return to try their pho next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good and affordable Vietnamese cuisine! The menus have variety, and I found their pho to be quite comforting on a rainy day. Portions were satisfying, and I walked out feeling like I got my money's worth. I won't lie though, the cleanliness of the bathrooms could be improved. However, the staff was friendly and attentive during my visit, which made up for it. Overall a solid option for Vietnamese food if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been going to Com Tam Thanh for years now and it never disappoints! The pho is to die for, with broth that's rich yet perfectly balanced in flavor. I've also tried their broken rice dishes, which are a must-have. The staff is usually friendly and provides quick service, making it a great option for lunch when I'm in a hurry. The ambiance is no-frills but somehow charming. I highly recommend the banh mi as well; they're some of the best I've had outside of Vietnam. I'll definitely keep coming back to this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant experience here recently. Their shrimp and rice plate was bursting with flavors and the shrimp was nicely grilled. The space is casual, which I prefer when I don't want an overly fancy restaurant. The service was friendly but did seem a little distracted. I was happy with the meal overall, and the pricing was reasonable for the portion size. Definitely a good place for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has been my go-to for Vietnamese comfort food. The broken rice dishes are fantastic and bursting with flavors. Each time I visit, I am impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. The only downside is that the service can be hit or miss – sometimes you get quick service, and other times you wait a while. Still, I enjoy every meal I've had here and often recommend it to friends. It's a great spot for a casual meal without breaking the bank. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for lunch with a friend and ordered the seafood pho. It was excellent with various toppings, including fresh shrimp and scallops swimming in a clear, fragrant broth. The restaurant has a very casual vibe which I appreciated. My only complaint was that it took a while for our order to arrive. It was worth the wait though, and I would love to go back soon to try something else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
