This place used to be good. But my recent lunch visit has unfortunately put them an afterthought moving forward. FYI: visit was before noon and not busy.Reasons;1. Sanitation,2. Service,3. Food.Sanitation. *see attached pics. I don’t doubt all restaurants are on par with cleanliness but don’t let me see it. The experience was unacceptable.Service. They say you eat with your eyes. Agree. Happy staff also helps make food more enjoyable. So smile with sincerity. *There’s also a 12% service charge automatically added to your bill. It is written all over the restaurant….hum?Food. Pho broth tasted as if it was from yesterday’s serving but watered down with added seasonings/herbs but didn’t fool us as it was overpowering. Another bowl we had was a specialty soup noodle that just tasted watered down.As mentioned, they used to be good. This leaves lots of room for improvement.Best of luck,
Lives up to the hype! INCREDIBLE FOOD. Tried the Banh Bot Lot (Shrimp and Pork Dumplings - 5 pieces) $11.00, Vietnamese Iced Coffee with condensed milk $6.50, $Bun Rieu Cua w/ Soft Shell Crab $17.00, Canh Ga Chien Nuoc Mam (Wet Wings 5 pieces with Nam House sauce) and the Brisket Pho. Everything was served super fresh, piping hot and had impeccable flavour and mouth feel. Not many other Vietnamese restaurants serve dishes like Banh Bot Lot - and it was so special to get to try! Highly recommended. The space itself was packed. Very lively. Clearly earned a (well deserved) reputation. Line out the door.
Nice and special restaurant
Come here with friends for a quick bite and for chit chats.This location in particular is smaller than Nam 2, so there’s often a waitlist. Kitchen is always singing so kind of entertaining. Food is decent. The beef in the pho is good, taste is nice, portion wise I think less noodles compared to other places, the broth is also pretty standard and bland. The banh mi and spring&pork rolls are also sides I get often.Food usually comes pretty quickly, but I think they sometimes forget to punch in the order (end up waiting quite a bit). Staff is just staff. Overall, decent for a quick bite but prefer Nam 2 better.
The tea here was amazing! It was busy, but the service was still good. The menu had a wide variety of options - everything my friend and I tried was delicious! The decor was super cute as well.
Liked it, but not sure if it's a must try. Food was tasty, lots of Vietnamese noodles/dishes that were on the menu that aren't in many other restaurants. Pretty standard taste. Quick service. Price is a couple or more dollars more than an average Viet restaurant
The dry rub chicken wings and soft shell crab are a must try. Everything was made fresh and tasted great. Would definitely try again in future. Only downside is food prices could be slightly cheaper, but guess overall costs also going up lately.
Soupy noodles just hits the [email protected] is a Vietnamese eatery in Richmond Hill. A great place if you feel like a big bowl of soupy noodles.Noodles Bun Rieu Cua with soft shell crab is so delicious. Tomato based broth with vermicelli noodles is loaded with pork, shrimp, tofu, Vietnamese ham and pork jelly.A must …..Nam’s Crispy Dry Butter Wings topped with garlic and green onions is so tasty! I am addicted and we had to place a second order to satisfy our cravings for more!!Also Shrimp Chips with Peanut Sauce and Shrimp and Pork Dumplings topped with dry shallots, cilantro and Pork Floss.For more food adventures follow me @hungryjo on Instagram
Busy restaurant with probably the best of rice dishes, noodle soup and coffee that others try to mimic but can’t do it like nam…This place and their second location are a gem…. You won’t find another Viet place that is fresh in everything and the wings are like nothing you have had before… I go twice 3 times a week
Delicious and tasty food. The tea is uniquely flavoured and the chicken wings are absolutely divine. I ordered the Bun Cha Ha Noi and it was so flavourful and had a variety of textures. This location is a lot smaller than the Markham one but I’d say the wait was shorter. Service was also attentive and I will absolutely be back again. Cash or debit only!!edit: their chefs are pretty good at singing too ?
