“ This place is still so so so delicious. If you plan on ordering 5-6 dishes, I'd recommend doing the family meal (com Phan) because it is a little cheaper. Service is great. I love fermented fish sauce (mam nem) so I always ask for this. It's my favorite. Plenty of seats. Parking is usually plentiful also. People come here and eat quite often as well. I ordered Canh chua. Ca kho To. Tom rang. Bo tai chanh. Goi sua Tom thit. All items 5/5 hands down. So so so delicious and such a good meal. I've loved this place since my college days and still love it today. They are opened pretty late at night in case you have the late night cravings. I'll be back per usual. If you're looking for family style viet food, come here! ”
“ It's been a minute since I've eaten Thanh my, use to come here a lot when it open late. Came here on a Monday around 9pm, got seated right away. We ordered the Hu tieu kho Thanh my large and the bun thit nuong combo. The hu tieu kho was huge, I couldn't even finish, the flavor was on point with lots of meat. The bun thit nuong delicious. Great spot with lots of variety of Vietnamese food. Highly recommend. ”

“ Have been coming here for over 20 years and love their food. This is our go to Vietnamese restaurant in Southern CA. It's not fancy inside, but it's open late and the food is authentic and tastes good. We don't really get their pho or their soups. I'm not a fan of their broth, which I think is too sweet. Our favorite is the Crispy Imperial Rolls (A3), Steamed clams (A11), Shaken beef (E2 or B4) , and Vietnamese crepe (C7). I especially like the large side of mints and lettuce and their fish sauce. They have generous portions and we always leave feeling stuffed. ”
“ Very extensive menu ranging from Vietnamese noodle soups, broken rice, hot pot, home-style cooking (com phan), & so much more. Appreciate that they have pictures depicting some of their items since the menu can be overwhelming. I got the home-styled meal set for two $37.95 (rice not included, $1.50 / person). You get to choose a soup, savory dish, and salad. Braised Cat Fish (Ca Kho To) 4/5: tender pieces of catfish filets braised in a sweet and savory caramel fish sauce. Could use a bit more caramelization since the sauce was still a light amber color (not dark enough); increasing the cooking time would've reduced the sweetness. The flavor also hasn't fully penetrated the fish. Besides that, I still really enjoyed this dish. Tamarind Fish Soup (Canh Chua Ca) 4/5: a harmony of sweet, sour, and umami flavors from the fresh pineapple, tomatoes, tamarind, and stock. Comes with celery, beansprouts, elephant ear stalks, and a generous portion of catfish. Unfortunately comes in a bowl and not in a pot, so your soup doesn't stay hot throughout the meal. Beef Salad (3/5): sauteed beef and onions over a bed of salad. Flavor was good but beef was a little dry. Meal comes with complimentary Vietnamese dessert (che). Service is straight to the point, with food coming out quickly. Ambiance is more on the casual side. The restaurant has been around for at least 45 years with plenty of locals dining here! ”
“ Located in the heart of Little Saigon you will find that Thanh My having been opened for over 30 years is because they probably have the best food. Seriously. The staff here is very friendly and inviting and the restaurant is pretty big so there is plenty of seating. I however do not speak Vietnamese so after ordering a lot of different dishes I have narrowed down my favorites and they are - E9 Com tay cam, r5 bean thread noodles, r6 stir fried broccoli, F4imperial rolls, g1 bun bo hue by And B3 B7 H1 ”
“ Thanh My Restaurant has officially been open for 45 years now! This spot is truly one of the pioneers of Vietnamese cuisine in the Little Saigon area. It is so important to know the history of this wonderful enclave we all love and to pay respects to the OG businesses that paved the way. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have about 5-7 tables for seating. They have an extensive menu here where you can order individual dishes or family style ones. I came here with family for lunch so we got the 7 courses for 8 people for $136. We ended up getting the Canh Chua Ca (sour soup with fish), Ca Kho To (claypot braised catfish), Ca Chim Chien (fried pompano fish), Ngheu Xao Dau Hao (fresh sautéed clams), Tom Muc Bo Xao Thap Cam (stir fried veggies with squid, shrimp, and beef), Tom Ram Man (caramalized shrimp in fish sauce), and Bo Luc Lac (shaken beef). Overall, everything we had was delicious and as authentic as a Vietnamese family style spread comes! All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. Come stop by and continue to show them love and appreciation! ”
“ We had a 5 course meal for 5 ppl: delightful! Tamarind sour bone-in catfish soup; garlic watercress greens, caramelized bone-in catfish pot; shaken beef; betel wrapped beef spring rolls. I like how you can customize their family dinners. Their white rice is better than most viet places since it wasn't dry and crunchy: newer crop and softer taste. Everything is lightly seasoned and fresh: they had 6-7 table side condiments. They also have us extra green and red thai chili for our desired burn later that night. They have a giant book menu of over 100 items. Service is fast and not rude: but order quick or ask for what you need immediately because they won't be back. Ambiance is fun, chaotic, and loud: they have a giant wall mirror in case you need to look at yourself making spit-out-the-catfish-bone maneuvers. I love their rau ma (pennywort) with no sugar. They accept credit cards and EBT: yay for accessibilities and non fast food options. They requested tips in cash. ”
