Com Tam Thanh

- 905 S Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95128

For California's food enthusiasts seeking authentic, specialized Vietnamese cuisine, Com Tam Thanh is a premier destination located in San Jose's vibrant culinary landscape. Operating as a dedicated Vietnamese restaurant, this establishment particularly shines as a Rice restaurant, focusing on the Southern Vietnamese delicacy known as Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice). This traditional staple, which involves serving various grilled meats, shredded pork skin (Bì), and savory egg meatloaf (Chả) over fractured rice grains, is a celebrated form of Asian comfort food.

While the 'Cơm Tấm' is the restaurant's signature and namesake, Com Tam Thanh offers a comprehensive selection of Southeast Asian favorites, ensuring there is a dish to satisfy every craving. It comfortably fits the description of an Asian restaurant and a Noodle shop, with its menu spanning multiple categories, from robust noodle bowls to light appetizers and satisfying rice plates.

The menu highlights include an impressive array of Broken Rice Plates (Cơm Tấm). Patrons can choose classics such as Cơm Tấm Sườn Nướng (Grilled Pork Chop) or the highly elaborate combination plates like Cơm Tấm Bì Chả Thịt Nướng Chạo Tôm Nem Nướng Tàu Hũ Ky, which features five different savory components over the broken rice. This complexity of flavors and textures is what makes the dish a local specialty.

Beyond its signature rice dish, the restaurant offers other pillars of Vietnamese gastronomy, including fresh Rice Vermicelli (Bún) bowls like Bún Thịt Nướng (Grilled Pork) and regional specialties like Bún Bò Huế (spicy beef noodle soup). The inclusion of classic Vietnamese Sandwiches (Bánh Mì), such as Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt, makes it an excellent stop for a quick, flavorful bite. Additionally, the menu features options like Cơm Bò Lúc Lắc (Shaking Beef Rice) and even a nod to regional Thai cuisine with Pad Thai, demonstrating a broad appeal within the Southeast Asian category.
