UPDATE (13/4/15): One of my readers have just informed me that this shop has moved to 159/161 Kitchener Road.
This place was a great find that we accidentally stumbled upon. We were actually in the area to try a different Vietnamese restaurant which was unfortunately (or fortunately) closed. This is an outdoor coffeeshop type of 'restaurant', so I was a bit skeptical whether it would be nice or not, or whether it would just be chinese food being passed off as Vietnamese food. Anyway, since our tummies were already grumbling, we decided to give it a try.
Well it was well worth it. Portions are decent, taste is quite good and the menu has a large selection to choose from - and no GST and service charge!
This place isn't in the seedy side of Geylang, so even in the evenings you'd feel comfortable going here. And there were also Vietnamese nationals dining there, so they must think it's close enough to what they could get at home? We will definitely be going back to try the other stuff on their menu.

| Lorong 42 Geylang. Right opposite is a fresh seafood supplier, they have live oysters and live king crab! |
 |
| BBQ Pork Chop with Rice and dipping sauce. Look at the size of that pork chop! It was really good and the sauce was really good too. I wonder why the vietnamese shops here don't have broken rice though and the rice plates with the bbq porks never comes with that yummy egg and shredded pork skin that we always get in australia. |
 |
| It was glistening.... |
 |
| Beef Pho...very yummy |
 |
| Deep fried chicken feet with garlic and chilli...this was good, very spicy though. But to be honest...there really wasn't much to eat of the chicken. The ends of the feet though were so crispy that you could even eat the bones. |
 |
| Crispy Fried Squid. Caelyn loves squid, so we ordered this for her. She polished off most of it by herself. |
Well, i do totally agree with you that this place looks simple but there are still many other hidden tasty foods to be try out. Best of all, their food taste very nice compare to others around there which I had try out with my friends and the others don meet the standards. Portion of Com Tam Vietnam is very reasonable for the price being paid. What more can we ask for with such great tasting and no GST & Service charge. I love the BBQ pork rice with sunny side up and the Rice Vermicelli with Stir Fried Beef which i had ate many times. Even many of my friends love this place as a saying goes Simple place with nice foods and reasonable price.
