Com Viet

This is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant you never visited.
It is hidden on the second floor of a grocery store. When I was led here by my friend, I was half expecting a smoke filled room with people gambling (as Hollywood often depicted). Instead, there were several restaurants side by side, including the Com Viet place.
My friend ordered the hot pot. It was served with a boiling pot of hot broth and a generous serving of fresh veggies. The broth is slightly on the spicy side and very aromatic, with cooked seafood in it. Each guest were to prepare their own dishes by laying the base of rice noodles, then pour cooked veggie, seafood, and broth on top. The simple combination created amazingly appetizing bowls of noodle soup. Each hot pot could easily feed a party of 3 – 4.
All in all, I highly recommend this place if you feel like something new and possess an adventures spirit.

I have been living in Orange County for 7 years and have never heard of this place. My mom heard about it from her friends and we decided to give it a try. It is definitely a hole in the wall restaurant, but the food quality is amazing.
I had to get an order of com phan, which is rice with soup and 2 side dishes. My side dishes were braised mackerel with pineapple, some stir-​fried Chinese broccoli with ground pork, and a vegetable soup. The fish tasted just like how my mom would make it, which had a sweet and salty sauce, and the fish was really moist and fatty. The Chinese broccoli tasted nice and fresh; the same could be said about the soup.
My mom also ordered com phan, but with a fried salmon steak in tomato sauce, and canh chua which literally translates to sour soup. The salmon was nice and moist, and went really well with the salty tomato sauce. The canh chua was sour, fresh, and full of vegetables.
My brother ordered bun cha, which is grilled pork slices and patties in a bowl of sweet fish sauce and pickles. It is served with vermicelli, hence the name bun (vermicelli) cha (meat), and a plate of vegetables and herbs. The best bun cha place in OC is arguably Ha Noi Avenue located near the Westminster and Newland intersection, and the bun cha here is just as good. The pork slices were juicy, and had a smoky sweet flavor from being grilled and soaked in the sauce. The pork patties could use a little more char on the grill, but they were still pretty good.
We also ordered a plate of bot chien (pan fried rice cake with eggs and green onions). The rice cakes was golden, crispy on the outside, but soft and sweet in middle. It also had a sauce, which contains soy sauce and vinegar, and some pickled radish and carrot. Bot chien here has a fresh rice aroma to it, which is what you want to have in a good plate of bot chien.
Last but not least, we had a plate of tamarind wings. The name said it all; chicken wings in a tamarind glaze. They tasted exactly like canh ga chien nuoc mam (fish sauce wings) with some added tamarind sauce. These wings were sweet, sour, and salty. They were not bad, and would probably be a good drinking snack.
This place is hidden gem in Orange County food scene. The food is great, and really affordable. We ordered 6 items for a total of $ 27. The taste reminded me of the lunch spots on the sidewalk in Vietnam a lot. I feel so ashamed that I had not come to this place for the past 7 years. So, if you had a chance, please swing by this place and try it out. Thank you for reading this long review, I hope you find it helpful.

This is my new fav place for Vietnamese food!
They have a cool variety of Vietnamese authentic dishes and their menu changes every week to offer more and more amazing dishes.
My friends and I go here almost every week and we’re all impressed with all the items we have tried so far: everyday meal combos, hotpot, pork udon, fried taro cake, chicken rice, bún Ha Noi, etc. None of them disappointed me. The meal is delicious and the portion is great for the unbeatable price.
A plus for their friendly and nice staffs. I always feel comfortable eating here. I guess most of the customers use their delivery service so the restaurant is not crowded. Awesome!

This is a great hidden gem. The service is quick and friendly. The quality and quantity of food you get is very good given the reasonable price! I had the bun cha, and it was amazing! I’ve also hear great things about the bot chien… And will definitely be back for it. I literally would eat here every day if I lived in this area.

As a student who doesn’t have much to afford daily meal at a fancy place, I would give 4 star for this place. Their food is fresh-​cooked so you get to wait a little bit longer than other places but that’s fine to me. I personally think their food is authentic. I had Phở, com phan and banh bot chien and they were all good to me. Good food, good service, cheap. Big plus is they change their com phan everyday so you don’t get bored. Well, if you want to treat both your pocket and stomach nicely, this place is a must go.

I gave them 2 stars, its been almost 2 hrs and my food still hasn’t been delivered yet. Otherwise food was not bad.

This place has been known for its specialty «Bun Cha Ha Noi» which is white noodle served with grilled pork (salad is optional but it freshens the appetite) there are various choices in the menu and they alter the meals everyday. The service is great. Being in a Vietnamese community, you should really try it out!

This is a hole in the wall place that’s located on the second floor of a super market. I ordered the Bun cha hanoi, cha ca thang long, and their com phan.
The best dish here is their bun cha hanoi. It’s not as good as the other place that I usually go to, but for the price… it’s pretty good. Next, The Cha ca Thang long was SUPER salty. I took about two bites and was done with it.
As I was sitting there waiting for the rest of my order… I heard a familiar *ping*. I looked over and saw that they were using a MICROWAVE to heat up some of the dishes. No Bueno. The food that came Def tasted the part of leftover microwave food.

Well. The food & price were very great. One problem: it was hot weather & I ordered hot pot. There was no AC so it became a problem. Their egg rolls & Cha Ca Thang Long were really good

Super good service as well as the foods. Really authentic Vietnamese foods. Although when you buy to-​go, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for some reason. But all the ingredients is fresh. This is, i can say, one of the best Viet Restaurant. If you’re looking for an authentic-​tasted Vietnamese food, this is the one.

Healthy, and great food. Awesome service! The family is very kind. They do a great job delivering food. Honest and good hearted people that own a good restaurant. Location is a but hard to find because it is upstairs in the supermarket. Worth looking for if you need good delivery service.

Com Viet just replaced Phở Jimmy on the second floor of the Saigon supermarket. I’m going to miss Phở Jimmy but this place is even better. Everything is super fresh and the prices are the best. So far i’ve had the Bun cha ha noi (Hanoi style BBQ pork with vermicelli and veggies) and the Bun thit nuong cha gio (Grilled pork, eggrolls, veggies, and vermicelli). Every item on the menu is under $ 10 and they have delivery on all orders over $ 14. This place is a hole in the wall, and you’re not going to impress any dates by taking them here. It’s a great place to take friends or family that don’t care about ambiance and only care about affordable, fresh, and delicious food.

this place is hidden upstairs in the Saigon supermarket. SUPER GOOD if you like Vietnamese food! It’s from the North.
Thit Nuong (Grilled pork) is so tasty!
super reasonable prices. I will come back to try other dishes. They have good seafood hot pot as well.

I have tasted everything on their awesome 6 item menu. Not only is the food Super Fresh but it is real authentic Vietnamese cuisine at a very reasonable price. Meal prices range from $ 3.99 to $ 6.99! Wow! Lots of fresh veggies included. The delivery is ALLWAYS fast and drivers are very curtious. Family owned and operated. Parents speak mainly Vietnamese but the sons speak perfect English.

The price is right. We have only tried the com plan so I can’t speak about the rest of the menu. Please check out their website before you call ahead to order. Their list two week in advance their daily menu which is very helpful to us. This location has had about three different restaurants before this one. We will definitely come back and support small business.

Love love love this place! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would eat here breakfast lunch n dinner
Delivery boy is ok at English

Great food, good price !
