Chicken Satay vermicelli bowl was very fresh and so tasty. Served nice and hot. Right heat for me and loved it with the fish sauce. Two little spring rolls were wonderful. Would go again.

My coworker has been coming to Nam since she’s worked close by, and she brought me along this time! Very happy staff, and they brought our food to the table we were at in good time! We had the lemongrass vermicelli bowls, and it was delicious!!! Great sauce on the meat, good portion size, fresh crisp veggies, and the spring roll was tasty! Hoisin and fish sauce on the table to add as you like. This is a great business that I am happy to support and will be back for more vermicelli and to try other menu items!

Absolutely loved it. They didn't have sauces for each table so I asked if they can make my pho spicy and it was really good. There's a hint of spicy curry on it with and crushed peanuts and its the first time I had a pho like this. There's only 1 size for the pho though. It's small but it's a relaxing and cozy. Large windows letting tons of natural light in. It's cheaply priced as well even though their bean sprouts serving was small. I understand this decision since lots of people don't really put it on their soup. Guess I'll just Ask them for extra Next time.

Me and my girlfriend went for lunch here as we're avid lovers of Vietnamese cuisine the place was very pretty but also not intense in it's decoration or pictures on the walls with a modern vibe brought to the place the service surprised us as we were order and to pay for our food first before it's sent out which didn't allow me to gauge the amount of tip on service or food quality till after the fact. We ordered the beef satay salad rolls and each got a beef satay pho unfortunately there is no photo of the salad rolls but they were made fresh and rolled for the order and tasted amazing and very very stuffed with lettuce noodles beef and carrots. The soup was fantastic we both thoroughly enjoyed it there was a ton of meat with a very good portion of noodles and the broth alone had a amazing flavour ended up drinking it till nearly bursting once finishing the noodles. We will be returning in the near future especially as the meals are cooked in an open kitchen with good food safety and hygiene and very friendly staff of the two working and with 10ish menu items they know what their cooking how to cook it and they aren't messing around and trying to hard or making gimmicks for a larger menu.

Stopped in for a quick takeout lunch and had the Satay Beef Pho. Really enjoyed it. Good flavor and good portion size for the cost.

For a chain, NAM has excellent food. Let's be real: a bowl of soup hits the spot every time, but if you're not a soup fan, they have warm noodle bowls as well. Side note; if you have a peanut allergy, absolutely DO NOT eat here.
