Cơm Tấm Tư Ghiền

Cơm Tấm Tư Ghiền is at 1480B Dorchester Avenue in Dorchester, serving Saigon-style broken rice with grilled pork chops and traditional accompaniments. The restaurant focuses on cơm tấm, a popular Vietnamese dish built around fractured rice grains that cook into a soft, distinctive texture. The grilled pork brings a savory, smoky flavor to the plate, while the remaining components round out the meal with the balance of flavors associated with Saigonese cooking. Recipes are prepared with traditional techniques and ingredients that reflect the food the owners grew up eating. If you’re looking beyond pho and bánh mì, this is a strong place to explore another staple of Vietnamese cuisine.
