With a 4.9 rating across nearly 2,000 reviews, Nam Mê Saigon has quietly become one of Thao Dien's most loved Vietnamese restaurants. The pho draws consistent praise, served alongside a surprisingly deep drinks list that spans craft cocktails, local beers, and Vietnamese coffee. The cozy, trendy dining room on Trần Văn Sắc works equally well for a solo lunch or a late-night dinner, with vegan and vegetarian options that go beyond the usual afterthought.
A rare gem in District 2. Every dish we ordered was unique. Spring rolls were deep fried to perfection, crispy on outside and piping hot on inside. Beef steak melted in the mouth, succulent and perfectly marinated. Fermented duck was tasty with a tad of fat that made meat juicy with slight tanginess when complemented with pickled vegetables. Staff all spoke English and extremely friendly. A good alternative to regular Vietnamese with a varied Mekong style taste and cooking style.
Food, atmosphere, and service is top notch. My favorite was th grilled oysters with the white wine. I also ordered one of the platters. Staff and Service is great they made sure I did not have any allergies. I love Vietnamese food and I’m glad to have found this gem near my apartment
Good choice for trying Mekong cuisine, portion is a bit small and wait time can be long. The staff is friendly and supportive. They have a nice outdoor area, would be nice for cooler days. The indoor atmosphere would be much better if their AC runs properly.
Food was delicious. The grilled okra and sir-fried young pumpkin (which looked more like baby squash) were unique and very flavorful. The eggplant was tender but still maintained some firmness. The dishes were cooked perfectly where the vegetables maintained their distinctive flavor. Also had the grilled pork which was tender and tasty. The fish was a bit overcooked and chewy. Grilled banana was light not overly sweet, The wine offering was underwhelming; for example only offered 1 red wine by the glass. Everything else was by the bottle. Not very distinctive displays nor unique ambiance. Great restaurant if you’re looking for the flavor of the food to highlight the dishes. Would definitely come back again to try other dishes. There were some set menus choices as well.
The Vietnamese food at Nam Mê Saigon is really delicious. They have a great variety of food and drink options, already visited twice to try out different dishes. Really enjoyed both the food and the mocktails.
