Com Tam Thanh Bascom - San Jose

This is a straightforward restaurant with a clean atmosphere, but the food is surprisingly lacking in flavor. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Some menu items are listed on the menu, while others can be found on the walls.

The food here is some of the best I've ever had. I've had my order messed up a few times, but I was assured that it will be compensated. The Veggie Pho is among the best in the area, and I've tried several other Vietnamese restaurants.

We went once for lunch after church with two other families. As we walked in I saw two other tables with families from church which illustrated the popularity of this restaurant with people from our church. Everyone in my party raved about the food, especially the broken rice. I did find the pho quite flavorful. However I didn't understand the excitement so I am assuming it's due to my ignorance of Vietnamese food.

Fantastic lunch #s 70 bbq pork shrimp and 72 pork) in big bowls if vermicelli rice noodles with veggies, fish sauce, with hoisin, soy, and sri racha on the table. Fresh and very tasty, I am so glad we followed our noses across the street after a meeting!

Great pho great rice plates. Bomb A large bowl of pho can feed myself my 2 children (4 6). I usually order pho tai. The quality of meat isn't the greatest (not as thinly sliced as other pho places on the chewy side) but the large portions DEFINITELY make up for that
