Favourite place to get com tam dac biet (broken rice) big plate, cheap and fast ! Very packed at some days always lines out the door
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.
My go to when in town - the bun thit nuong is a generous serving size for $11. Place is usually packed and busy, but the wait is never too long.
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.
8th June 2020: tapioca noodles with crab $12, com dac biet $13 and bun bo hue $12.
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).
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.
Tiny shop where Yu get delicious Vietnamese variety! Menu is short and simple with flavourful food, the broth is sooooo good. Whenever Yu visit Cabramatta do visit this tiny corner for awesome Vietnamese food.

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 and packed with broken rice, a tasty pork chop, chopped spring onion, pickled carrot, cucumber, a frittata type egg meat cake, thin strands of shredded pork skin and topped with a fried egg. I drizzle the the sauce and mix the ingredients together. A simple dish with a magnitude of textures and flavour that combine nicely.
A no fuss establishment serving decent portions of good food on the cheap. Worth a visit if in the area and are after an authentic Vietnamese meal.
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.
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
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!
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.
One of the best broken rice I’ve ever eaten..
Beautiful restaurant, kind owners and amazing food! Hasn’t changed over the years at all, gotten better if anything <3

Cosy Vietnamese restaurant in the alley off the main strip, usually crowded at lunch time and a modest line, a no nonsense eating affair with a good manageable sized menu - with just over 20 dishes they can keep their small kitchen churning without overextending themselves. Bánh hỏi chạo tôm (sugar cane prawn mousse) is unbelievably light and springy here, making every other place seem dense and heavy in comparison. Cơm tấm sườn bì chả (broken rice with steamed egg/pork, grilled pork chop and shredded pork skin, fried egg if you get the Đặc Biệt special) is a crowd favourite here, deservingly so, with that Chả Trứng Hấp being the best, fluffiest meatloaf you've ever had that you might want to customise your order with 2x portions of it. Or in Summer when it's too hot for soupy noodles, try the Bánh tằm bì, a thick rice tapioca noodle which you mix in with coconut milk and shredded pork skin coated in roasted rice powder. Don't think you can go wrong here, well executed small menu, no frills, bring cash.
The best com tam dish I’ve had! Each element is excellent - the pork skin is slightly thicker cut than what you normally find, the pork cake is juicy and the grilled pork is really tasty. I’ve come multiple times and whether eating or takeaway, I’ve never been disappointed. It recently suffered a very minor price increase (now $12) but is still one of the best value dishes you’ll find out in Cabramatta. The other dishes I’ve tried have all been good too but they are best known for this one. Definitely worth a visit :)
It's my first time having broken rice, it tastes really nice, I like it! It costs AUD12 but if you want your broken rice served without egg, they will charge you for only AUD11. I highly recommend this resto. You may need to queue for 5 to 15 minutes
