Thanh Restaurant – Irvine - 949-559-7788 – www.thanhrestaurant.com 15315 Culver Drive #140, 92604
Very clean and nicely decorated upscale restaurant befitting of it’s Irvine location.
Com Tam (Gum Tum) – translates to broken rice. A filling meal of rice with delicious grilled meat or seafood, served with pickled vegetables, sometimes with egg-foo-young patty or a fried egg. Drizzle the fish sauce all over and you’ve got a pretty tasty rice dish.
I like the Com Ga (Gum Gaah) – Chicken Rice from the Thanh (Ton) restaurant in Irvine. They put these tasty thin onion ring-like strips over a generous portion of the salad.

Fancy Vietnamese fine dining with some gourmet French-Vietnamese dishes. Pricey and you pay most for the ambiance. Food is good but on par w/cheaper Asian joints.
