Had my daughter's 1st birthday there, and the manager Duong had exceptional communication and was very accommodating. We got the free decorations during their promotion, which is a huge plus. Food was good, but a bit pricey. I'd totally host a party there again.

Food and service were great! Highlights were the unique and delicious fish hot pot in sour bamboo broth. The snails in coconut milk was delightful, and the ca kho to was perfectly cooked in a sauce that was well balanced. The other dishes ordered were great too! Above all, I especially appreciate our hostess being upfront about the freshness and portion sizes of certain dishes that were not in season.

09/28/2024 is the date for my wedding. I planned to cater food to the church after wedding mass. I heard about Nếm restaurant. I came by to be curious. They provided me the bill that less than $4500 for 110 people, which included free milk tea drinks and decorations. Feed back from my weeding's guess, they so happy that they can eat Vietnamese food instead of Chinese food at Dynasty or anywhere else. They thrilled with the food, they said they cannot stop eating. Half of my guests ended up going home with a take-out food box because there was so much food. I recommend Nêm for parties, family events, etc. Go with( gỏi tiến vua, bánh hỏi thịt nướng, cánh gà chiên nước mắm, tôm trứng muối, miến xào cua, cơm chiên, nuôi xào bò) I attached my bill and weeding video, picture.

Randomly decided to give Nem Restaurant a shot and this place did not disappoint!! The food tasted homemade and service was great. For 2 entrees, 1 side of rice, and 1 order of fries it cost us $44 in cash. If you are craving Vietnamese food, I would give this place a try. The menu has a wide selection and included photos!! The photos really helped me decide which one I wanted. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to sit outside. The outdoor seating was filled with grapes, passion fruit, Thai chilies, and other herbs growing.

Giving this hidden gem a solid 5 star! I've been eating here for a while now and it's never busy but I think it's the location. Either way, we haven't been disappointed. The food is all pretty good and the price is reasonable. The service is attentive too. They give alittle cash discount but also takes credit card. My fav is the garlic butter razor clams and the scallion onion blood clams are so yummy! We always get the catfish claypot and tamarind soup to share, the portion is good for 2-3 people. My kids like their rice plates and pasta bo luc lac. I do recommend this place for your family meals and seafood fix! Spacious and clean as well, yay!

The service here is phenomenal everyone is friendly and attentive. They had multiple large parties inside so we were seated outside and they brought us personal fans and checked on us often to make sure we were well taken care of. When we asked for chili peppers the sweet lady offered us some from her garden and it was delicious. I could go on and on about the service but the best part was the food. Packed with flavor and good sized portions. We ordered razor clams 5/5 Bo luc lac 4/5 Banh mi thit nuong 3/5 morning glory vegetable 5/5 Bo xao hanh cuon. You can make your own rolls, came meat on a sizzling plate, veggies, and pears. The sauces that came with it were so good 6/5! We had such a great experience from the food to service we highly recommend giving Nem Restaurant a try!

First, I would just like to say that I'm BAFFLED why this place isn't more popular. The food is so good!!! Honestly, upon first entering on a Saturday during PEAK lunch time and seeing a completely empty restaurant, many things go through my mind: "is the food bad here?" "Are all the ingredients old due to lack of turnover?" My worries quickly disappeared as my food was not only fresh but DELICIOUS! The water spinach stir fried with garlic was top notch! They stir fried it with chicharrones which gave the dish great texture and flavor. The tamarind shrimp was sour but also complex and amazing. I highly recommend the seafood egg roll as an appetizer! It's a spacious and clean restaurant with great service. There's even ample parking for just the restaurant itself. I really hope this place gets more business because they really deserve it!

Came here for family dinner on a Saturday evening. My brother called and made a reservation. They were seated before I even arrived. Food: So they don't have anything vegetarian noted on their menu, but they were willing to make me my own dish. My brother called ahead and asked if they were able to do so beforehand. They said they could make stir fried noodles, noodle soup, and fried rice vegetarian. I went with the stir fried noodles. They were flavored well, and it was a good portion. Definitely worth sharing! My family really enjoyed their food. My dad enjoyed it so much that he was telling the server and the front counter person that they need to do better at advertising because the place should be packed with how much he enjoyed the food. My dad doesn't like a lot of restaurants so this was high praise. Service: Service was friendly and quick. My family was seated very fast. My vegetarian option was ready in a good time after ordering. As with most Asian places, they don't stop by to check up on you, but servers were easy to flag down when we needed something. The Vietnamese hot pot took the longest to come out, but that's pretty standard in every restaurant I've been to. TL;DR - delicious Vietnamese food with standard service & high praises from my dad
