I visited this joint on a recommendation from a mate who said the Com Tan special(Broken rice) is a must. So I used the map on Zomato to find this place, a little hidden down a foot traffic laneway. I entered the restaurant which was not much to look at. A few worn chairs and tables that probably should have been replaced a while back, but I was not here for the decor. I sat down, was promptly given the menu. A shorttime later I ordered the Com Tan Special, no fuss at all. Soon after I am given a pot of tea and a clear broth chicken soup, a nice way to start the meal. Then the Com Tan special arrives with a side of sauce made up of fish sauce and fresh Chilli. The plate of Com Tan is large a...
This com dac biet $11) was such a satisfying dish. All the individual components including the steamed egg, fried egg, cucumber, pickled veggies, pork cutlet, pork floss and fish sauce, worked so well to complement the star of the dish which was in my eyes the broken rice. I personally always tend to take note of the quality of rice at any asian joint because it really is the bread and butter of the dish. Oh boy, the rice here was perfect, it was fluffy but still able to maintain its individual grain. Anyway, highly recommend this dish, I noticed more than half of the restaurant ordered this dish so it's definitely a local favourite.<br/ <br/ 8th June 2020: tapioca noodles with crab $12, com...
It looks like a popular place for locals. I went on a weekend and there was a queue. Tge place is small so don't go there in big groups. Soup based dishes are really good. They were so tasty and delicious to say the least. They dint have eftpos so please bring cash. It's not a fancy restaurant so don't expect too much. Just go there to try some vietnamese cuisine. I honestly don't know how authentic the taste was but the food was better than tge other viet restos i've tried so I'm giving them better review.
Truong Lai is my go to restaurant in Cabramatta because it sells traditional Vietnamese broken rice and other famous dishes. It is famous for its bún mắm and pork chop broken rice (as mentioned below). <br/ <br/ Obviously, my favourite is the special broken rice that consists of a pork chop, fried egg, steamed egg and pork skin over broken rice. It’s served with fresh vegetables, a portion of fish sauce and house soup. Their marinade is absolutely amazing. Hints of sweetness and saltiness.

One of the best hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. A small little restaurant that serves exceptionally delicious food. Their banh cuon (Vietnamese pork mince rolls), com tam dac biet (broken rice pork chop combination) and bun dac biet (rice vermicelli combination) is the best. The sugarcane prawns and spring rolls are also a hit. It’s my family’s favourites and have been coming here for years. Highly recommend!
You know a hidden gem when you see a dodgy as f-restaurant tucked away in a laneway and riddled with food safety risks, yet still manages to draw queues on the regular. Probably in the top 3 'com tam ' offerings in Sydney. Huge servings. Tasty. Under $10. You get in. You order. You eat. You leave. You don 't ask questions.
One of my favourite places to eat. The best Com Tam Dac Biet you can get. I wouldn't know where else to eat Com Tam if this place closes down : Food comes out fast, sometimes you have to wait but a hidden gem
A trip back memory Lane. This has gone through small renovations. But the feel is amazing as ever, full of flavor and packed as always. Small shop though, sometimes there are lines but it is worth it.

The epitome of the Broken Rice dish.No nonsense here folks, just a quality feed. Beautiful combination of pork chop (opt for two pieces), meat cake, fried egg and some greens.
