Com Tam Kieu Giang: A Taste of Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

First time here, and it's a cozy cơm tấm place in garden grove. I was quite surprised how good everything was. It was a classic cơm tấm sườn/thịt nướng. No frills nó gimmicks. It tasted like my childhood. Best tàu hủ ky in town! I loved the filling of it and was fried to perfection. The thịt nướng was a bit chewy, but the flavor was great. If you're looking for a good cơm tấm place, I highly recommend this place! Bonus was they were playing classic Vpop!

What this place lacks in decoration, it makes up for it in the presentation of the food. The meat is actually grilled which was nice. The hot tea is by Stasen - can't go wrong with Stasen Jasmine Green Tea. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Recommendation to the staff: Bring out the soup, hot, along with the food - not before the food comes out or it will be cold by the time your guests start eating. Maybe add some Vietnamese cultural art to the walls along with some bamboo curtains for the windows.

Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is one of those places that instantly earns five stars. I first discovered them through DoorDash and immediately fell in love—but once I came in person, I realized just how much of a hidden gem this spot really is (and how much more affordable it is dining in). The menu hits all the Vietnamese classics: a solid lineup of Vietnamese appetizers, cơm tấm (broken rice), bún (vermicelli) bowls, and plenty of traditional Vietnamese drinks to round out the meal. Everything feels comforting, well-portioned, and thoughtfully prepared. What really stands out—besides the food—is the value. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for today: vermicelli dishes range from $12–$15, and broken rice plates from $12–$17. For the quality and portion size, it’s honestly a steal. The owner was the one who took my order, and they were genuinely kind and personable, which made the experience even better. That personal touch goes a long way and really reflects the heart behind the restaurant. If you’re ordering delivery, it’s great—but if you can, come in person. It’s noticeably cheaper and well worth it. Cơm Tấm Kiều Giang is comforting, affordable, and run with care—exactly the kind of neighborhood Vietnamese spot you want to keep coming back to.

So yummy!!! It was $17 per plate and it was a lot of food. I only ate half of it and had to take the other half to go. The pork chop is cooked perfectly and has super tasty little pieces of fat. Everything on the plate was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I’m so glad we decided to come here during our visit to California. The service was also great. Our waters were constantly refilled, we got seated instantly, and were checked on a good amount. We will definitely come back whenever we’re in town and craving it!

We ordered the traditional dish with pork. We ordered beef. The beef was OK. The pork was great and everything else. I gave it 4 closer to 3.5 because I didnt feel it was freshly grilled. The flavoring was good.

Delicious spot for com tam. Definitely satisfied my cravings, the portions are huge! We never finish our plates here and always take it to-go. It could definitely count as 2 meals.

My go to com tam. I’ve been here over a dozen times and everything is cooked to perfection, the portions are huge, and has everything I look for in com tam i.e. fried egg, pork chops, egg cake, chinese sausage, broken rice. Support your local asian businesses folks so we can continue to get delicious food. This picture here is the number 1 special with everything. $21, hits the spot everytime.

A decent and quaint Vietnamese restaurant that deserves some more attention. They have a lot of the staple rice and noodle dishes that'll give you a blast of nostalgia as if you're eating with grandma. The entries get a tiny bit pricey but they give you huge portions so there's a good chance you might not finish your food. Like 2 entries for 3 people would be ideal. What to order? Just choose between rice or noodes, and literally pick and choose what meats/items you want in it The service is just really friendly and so heartwarming that it just puts a smile on your face too. It was relatively quiet when we went but seeing other locals come in with their kids and order "the usual" was so cute Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 8/10
