Each dish was absolutely delicious, hard to find restaurants where you can't order a dish wrong. As always, the chicken wings were great, and bun bo hue is amazing. BBH is very spicy though so be prepared to tolerate lots of chili oil. Pho meats were tender. Also ordered the lemongrass chicken rice, soft shell crab, and crispy beef brisket pho. Spring rolls were full but I forgot to take the pic before- oops! Thai iced tea isn't devastatingly sweet which is always a good thing- has the consistency and flavour like cold melted ice cream! Would definitely come back again.

At Nam, I tried their chicken and egg rice dish, and it was solid. The chicken was tender, nicely seasoned, and paired well with the fluffy rice and perfectly cooked egg. The portion size was generous, and the flavors were balanced, giving off that comforting, home-cooked vibe. The restaurant itself had a cozy atmosphere, and the service was quick and friendly. Overall, it’s a great spot for a casual, satisfying Vietnamese meal.

Food was phenomenal, but I wish I could give the owner or manager a resounding ZERO. There was a black wet stain on the side of my Bun Bo Hue noodle soup bowl, it appeared to be perhaps ink, or soot from the grill, or paint, not a condiment you would find in a Vietnamese restaurant. When I asked the staff member what it was, they called the manager(?) over, and he started aggressively trying to gaslight me into thinking that the substance was a sauce that I know for certain does not go into Bun Bo Hue. He did not take my concern even remotely seriously and began taking a very aggressive attitude towards me. I asked to see the sauce, and he said that they couldn't take the sauce out of the kitchen. I then went up to see a view of the kitchen, and he pointed out that it was in a bottle with what seemed to be a black-looking sauce. I asked if he could dispense some of it onto a small sauce dish to look at, and he refused, saying that it was against the "policy." At this point, things seemed very, very fishy. Seeing as how he couldn't bring the sauce outside, I asked if I could go inside to see the sauce. He brought me into the kitchen, where I was looking for other potential sources of the black substance. I saw a grill top being used to blacken some meat and took a mental snapshot of that. He proceeded to take the bottle in question and squirt out into a bowl. Guess what? A see-through light brown liquid, not resembling the pitch-black inky substance that was still coating the edge of the bowl. When I pointed out the marked difference, he tripled down on his position, saying, "That is what the sauce looks like when cooked." Since I was entrenched in my position on this, he offered to have the dish on the house, but that was not really my concern. Naturally, I was instead worried that I may have ingested something poisonous. He assured me that because the restaurant had been "running for 10 years, " they were "very safety." He ultimately never took the concern very seriously. However, after further talks, he DID agree to take any and all responsibility should I have gotten sick, as well as offered compensation for the entire meal. Unfortunately, this was less than genuine as it seemed he acquiesced only wanting us to leave, to avoid my party potentially causing further disturbance to the business, that he brought on himself with the awful attitude. The issue was NOT with the service staff, food, or atmosphere, all of which I and the company found very stellar. The issue was simply the poor attitude of the owner(?) and getting overly aggressive right out of the gates, maintaining that aggressive stance, lacking any semblance of composure, and flat out lying about the nature of the substance, or at the very least, not entertaining the possibility that it COULD HAVE been something hazardous for one's health. I have seen other poor reviews with similar sentiments about the manager. I hope that he can improve his behavior to match the excellent quality of their food. Stay safe, everybody!

This is the place to come for a nice bowl of good quality Pho! They have a good variety of food on the menu. We especially love the special Pho, chicken wings, frog legs and spring rolls. The staff here are also really friendly.

Great service, came during the day around 2pm and got seated right away. Tables are more communal seating, so be prepared to share a table with another family or group. You order from the menu and write down the number from the menu onto a piece of paper and they collect your order when you're ready. We ordered the sticky chicken wings, grilled pork vermicelli noodle, and grilled pork chop and chicken on rice. I also got the grilled pork chop and chicken on rice for take out. Priced are on par with other vietnamese restaurants. They serve complimentary tea and it had a great light floral flavour. The wings are garlicky, sweet and savoury. The grilled meat had a nice grilled flavour and a good amount of meat for each dish. The chili garlic sauce was a nice top off to our dishes although beware it gets spicy. Delicious food. I'd come again if I'm in the area *tip - free thai iced tea or ice coffee with a Google review. MON - FRI buy one get one free for their iced dessert drinks.

One of the best Vietnamese cuisine restaurants in GTA. Besides the "normal " dishes, Nam offers an extended choice of delicious dishes. The Smoked Rib and Braised Rib was simply amazing . Family owned offering generous portions and fantastic value 👏

Great place for that pho fix you’ve been craving. You can get your traditional bowl of noodles or indulge with an order of their smoked and braised beef brisket pho. The grilled rice dishes are another great option if you are not feeling like noodles. I recommend the pork chop and chicken. Another dish is their spring rolls. If you don’t get an order you’re missing out. Others have said the crispy wings are the way to go and they are good but in my opinion the honey garlic wings are better. They also have a large assortment of ice cold drinks from fresh avocado smoothies to one of the best chai milk teas.

Omg this place is amazing! Almost hidden gem, So happy I was with a friend who orders wings or I never would have tried these, They’re signature wings are some of the best I’ve had, didn’t know it would be from a Vietnamese restaurant! Perfect crunch and not strong but perfect flavour with the lime juice dip. This place is busy all through lunch and for good reason, never too busy too get a seat tho, order the beef banh mi! And the original wings , if you like sticky wings, order those too, also the best I’ve had (sticky is an understatement and the crazy crunch is still they’re, Pretty sure you can order anything here and it’s great. Good portions, Owners very nice
