Nam Giao

We were craving good Vietnamese after a 5yr absence and Nam Giao did not disappoint! Great flavours and quality is the same as we remembered. We love the sticky, steamed glutinous gems inside banana leaf. The grilled pork plate was charred and yummy with the rolled vermicelli/lettuce wraps. Friendly service, good portion size and not expensive.

Like others, I came here after seeing Nam Giao in Ugly Delicious. This food was different from any Vietnamese food I've ever tasted and makes me realize how much food I have yet to taste from different cultures. We really enjoyed combo platter #1 and especially loved the Banh Bro Chen/steamed mini rice pancakes. I didn't read the instructions about pouring fish sauce on the Banh Nam which would definitely have enhanced the flavor. The pork and shrimp crystal dumplings were also good. I tried my first ever Com Hen which was definitely a very different flavor experience, but I loved all the different textures from the clams, rice, peanuts, and rice crackers. I wish I hadn't poured in all the shrimp sauce and clam broth in as it made the dish way too salty, but it was a very comforting hearty dish to eat on a rainy day!

Very traditional, filling Vietnamese food in a no frills setting. I recommend getting the appetizer platter if it is your first time. My favorite dish was the Bah Quai Vac (pork and shrimp dumplings). The texture of the rice wrappers was so chewy!

This place hit the spot for authentic Hue style food. I had the shrimp and crab udon soup that had homemade noodles and a thick, rich, savory soup base. Eat it while it's hot and broth is thick as it thins out as it cools. I got the combo plate #2, pretty solid but I think I prefer the ones from another Hue place on Beechnut street.

My first experience and an authentic Vietnamese restaurant- I had never had any of the dishes we got and not one disappointed. We did the sampler appetizer that were all delicious, a hot soup and a few more items (I honestly don’t recall their names since I wasn’t the one ordering but only eating).
