Welcome to Com Tam Thuan Kieu – Authentic Vietnamese Flavors in Tucson, AZ

At Com Tam Thuan Kieu, we’re proud to introduce Tucson to one of Vietnam’s most beloved comfort foods—com tam, or broken rice. With deep roots in Vietnamese culinary tradition and a heart full of hospitality, our restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s a cultural experience brought to life.

Our Story

Born from a desire to share the soul of Vietnamese cuisine, Com Tam Thuan Kieu was founded by a family passionate about food, culture, and connection. Inspired by the street-side eateries and bustling food markets of Southern Vietnam, especially Saigon, we’ve worked tirelessly to bring those unforgettable flavors and memories to the heart of Arizona.

Our journey began with a mission: to create a home away from home for Vietnamese food lovers and newcomers alike—a place where authentic recipes, time-honored cooking techniques, and warm hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

Our Cuisine

At the center of our menu is our signature com tam—a fragrant, fluffy bed of broken rice served with savory grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and our house-made fish sauce. Each plate is a balanced combination of texture and flavor, honoring the traditional Southern Vietnamese way of enjoying meals.

But com tam is just the beginning.

Our diverse menu offers a taste of Vietnam’s rich culinary landscape—from flavorful bun thit nuong (vermicelli bowls) to crispy cha gio (egg rolls), hearty bo luc lac (shaking beef), and comforting bowls of pho. Every dish is carefully prepared using fresh ingredients and time-tested methods that respect the essence of Vietnamese home cooking.

Our Commitment

At Com Tam Thuan Kieu, quality and authenticity go hand-in-hand. We source our ingredients locally whenever possible and import essential spices and condiments to ensure true Vietnamese flavor in every bite. Our chefs take pride in perfecting each dish, never cutting corners and always cooking with heart.

Our Atmosphere

Step into our restaurant and you’ll find a welcoming space that blends Vietnamese tradition with a modern, cozy charm. Whether you’re here for a quick lunch or a family dinner, our friendly staff and relaxed environment will make you feel right at home. It's a place where conversations flow, memories are shared, and meals are enjoyed slowly, just as they are in Vietnam.

Our Community

We’re proud to be part of the Tucson community and to serve as a bridge between cultures through food. Com Tam Thuan Kieu is more than a restaurant—it’s a gathering place for families, students, and anyone seeking real, satisfying Vietnamese cuisine. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received and are dedicated to giving back through local partnerships and service.
