First time at NAM and will not be the last time. We had the Pho, spring roll and crab rangoon. All very delicious! Liam (owner) and the rest of the staff are awesome and treat you like family. Thanks for bringing this to Carson City read more

Nam Kitchen - Beef Pho with the short rib - Vietnamese Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

The service was amazing! Such kind people. Also left my phone and they held it for me till I realized it was gone. I have a new favorite place read more

I really wish I got a picture, but that should tell you just how good they are. What am I talking about? The wings!! Oh man. My husband and I split a batch. $12 for 5 wings. I wish it was an even number because sharing should be even, just saying. They were crispy with this delicious chili glaze - perfect amount of crunch, savory, sweet, garlic, scalion - sticky on your fingers but not too much. They were piping hot and the meat came right off the bone. Stick a fork in me. Or maybe another wing! Hubs also got their bbq pork rib plate with noodles and the pork was tender - not dry or tough at all. Kiddo got the beef pho and he was in love. I got the pork bahn mi and I was pleasantly surprised by it's size for the price. Also tasty. Folks are super friendly. Check them out! read more

Drove down from Reno just for lunch and it was 100% worth every mile. The spring rolls were straight fire -- fresh, crisp, packed with bright flavor, and honestly the best I've had in Northern Nevada. Perfect crunch, fresh herbs, and that light dipping sauce that had us ordering a second round. Everything else we tried hit the same high mark: clean, thoughtful plates that feel elevated but still relaxed for a midday meal. What really made it though was the staff. Everyone was genuinely awesome -- friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of what they're serving. Service was smooth and perfectly paced for lunch, no rushing, just the right vibe so we could enjoy the food and the moment. We left full, impressed, and already planning the next drive down. If you're anywhere near Carson City, make the trip. This place is doing it right -- killer spring rolls, fresh ingredients, and staff that turns a simple lunch into something special. Fair prices for the quality and you can tell the team cares. 5 stars, no notes. Go hungry and start with those spring rolls. You'll be back. read more

Visited Nam Kitchen for dinner and really enjoyed the experience- though I have one major gripe. My wife and I went on a date at Nam Kitchen, where we enjoyed the newly decorated space, which was formerly a poke/slider joint. It was fairly busy inside on a Saturday night- a good sign. We ordered the combination appetizer plate and the lemongrass BBQ beef plate. The staff was kind and attentive, though I finished my water partway through the meal and was never offered a refill. The food was great. Very fresh, flavorful food that is clearly homemade and made with care. The spring rolls were stuffed full, and the peanut sauce was spot on. The egg rolls and potstickers were both super crispy and paired well with the variety of sauces. The beef was super tender, yet a bit crispy, and had great savory flavor. My only issue: I wish there was more of it. For the price, I thought the portion sizes were small. The beef plate was $16 and had a large serving of white rice, but a pretty puny portion of beef and veggies. The combo appetizer plate was $9, a slightly better value, but still on the small side. Maybe I am out of touch, but for nearly $35 after a tip, the amount of food we ate seemed to be lackluster. I think my dining dollars would have stretched a lot further somewhere else. However, the food here is excellent, and I love supporting a new local business. I will probably return to Nam Kitchen at some point, and perhaps I will find another dish that offers some value that is more aligned with my expectations. read more

We were the first diners at opening. Very welcoming space. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The first thing we ordered was the appetizer combo. It was came with two pieces of spring roll, two piece of eggrolls, two pieces of potstickers, and a variety of dipping sauces. I really enjoyed the spring roll because they used bbq pork and the egg rolls were crunchy and a delicious filling. Not sure what the middle sauce was but we dipped it the eggroll in it and it was good. I also liked their peanut sauce for the spring roll as well. I would definitely recommend it for sharing with another person. I ordered the regular sized beef pho which came standard with steak slices and beef brisket, but I also added extra meatballs for $2 which wasn't a bad price. Regular pho was $14 and a large was $16. The broth was definitely beefy, which I enjoyed a lot but, I felt like it was missing the notes of the different spices as well. By 12pm, the restaurant was busy so it did take awhile for service to come around as it picked up, but our server was very apologetic about it which was fine with us. So if you wanna come by, I would try to come during non-peak hours. Definitely coming back here to try other things! read more

We stopped by NAM (again) and had a really great experience. We ordered the calamari, spring rolls, 2 pho, and coffee, and everything was on point. The calamari was crispy without being heavy, the spring rolls were fresh and flavorful, and the pho had a rich, comforting broth that really stood out. The coffee is always the main squeeze for me. Service was friendly and the overall vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy everything. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend if you're in the mood for something fresh and satisfying. Thanks Liam! read more

My favorite Pho in the area and one of my favorites anywhere is BACK! The owner had my favorite Pho in his previous location (under a different business name) in Reno for a long time, but he sold it a few years ago to start to raise his family. Now that his kids are older, he's opened this new place and it's AMAZING! During his hiatus, I'd literally been to almost every Pho place in the area to find something that measured up to my standards, as well as the tastes that he spoiled me with and no one really filled the void. Some were good...others were better...some were downright bad...some just adequate...but every place that was good that I went to had issues (see my other Pho reviews for all the details). I'll be stopping by this new restaurant on a regular basis, hot or cold weather, to get my dose of my favorite Pho in the area, even though it's in Carson City...about a 30 minute drive from Reno for me... Let me reiterate what I said in my earlier reviews when Chef Liem Le owned his previous location: the depth of flavor in the broth, the amount of proteins in the #1 Beef Pho (still my fave) and the condiments served on the side to add to the dish are still the best, in my opinion! His fabulous wife, Nini, has the FOH staff on point and the service is excellent...and super friendly. I always get a large...it's a full meal...if your appetite is a little smaller, get the regular size... Of course, I get the Beef Balls, Beef Tendon and Beef Tripe...and he now offers a Beef Rib, too! As in his previous restaurant, everything is seasoned and cooked on point, the balance of the noodles, proteins and veggies are perfect...and the taste? Even better than before!! In his previous location, Chef Liem even introduced me to a couple of things to add to my Pho to make it even more like the traditional style he grew up with in Vietnam...he still does that for me here. He adds a raw egg to the piping hot broth right before serving. When it arrives, he taught me to break it up before it sets and mix it throughout the dish to add an unctuous texture that's not to be missed. I also get one of his special 6 Minute Ramen-style Eggs to add to my Pho. Neither of those options are on the menu...just ask him for it...tell him that The Saxman recommended them. If you like big spice like I do, make sure you ask for their chili oil...that'll kick it up a notch! All of their other dishes on his new menu look delicious and I plan to try everything over time...which I did at his former restaurant...and they were all superb...but, for now, I need a bunch of doses of this outstanding Pho before I branch out. It's a small place, so if you get there and it's packed (which I expect to happen a LOT because it's already getting so popular), don't be discouraged if you can't get a seat...order it to-go! All in all, this is a place that I highly recommend. There's a lot of choices in the area, but, this is now where I go for MY favorite Pho! read more

4 for dinner. Promptly seated. Friendly, prompt, professional service. Appetizer plate very good. Specialty drinks very good. The fried rice dish I had was the best fried rice I have had. The other pork rib, and chicken meals were also very good. Nice quiet place. The only negative was that for me 6'3" and 230 pounds, the all metal chair was not very comfortable. read more

I'm so excited for more interesting options in Carson City. This quickly jumps near the top of my list of favorite places in Carson. I got the spicy lemongrass pho bowl, and enjoyed it very much. The spice level and lemongrass flavor were just right for me. The meat was good, and the side ingredients were fresh. My only complaint was the noodles. They were a little overcooked, and they were in a slightly tight ball still which caused the noodles to break into tiny little pieces as I ate. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and made sure I knew they didn't forget about me when my soup took a little longer than normal (which I expected as I got what seemed like the most labor intensive bowl on the menu). The menu is focused which I appreciate, perfect for the casual atmosphere of the place. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu in future visits. Also they had a special when I was in, but I was dead set on getting soup when I arrived. In Reno I would give this a 4/5, but Carson is a different market, and I can appreciate having a great option for lunch on a work day. read more

Surprising find for good VN food in Carson City of all places! If you're looking for something different in your fare that's quality dining in a relaxed atmosphere that's even open pretty late, you should give Nam a try. The food was tasty, the service friendly, the prices reasonable and the restaurant clean and comfortable. When we were there it was a steady flow of diners. I think my pictures tell the story so have a look and when you're in Carson, try the place. If you like VN food at all you'll like Nam. read more

I ordered for pickup on DoorDash from here 2/17/26. The Banh Mi sandwich didn't have mayo like the description said. The beef was very dry & flavorless, much of it was just fat pieces that were unpleasant to eat. Not marinated or anything like the description said. Could've used more ingredients that you'd expect from other restaurants with a Banh Mi. The "Flame Broiled BBQ" Beef was also disappointing bland dry flavorless beef, a scoop of rice & a sad, small veggie pile. It was a very pathetic dish & not worth the price at all. Tough steak with absolutely zero flavoring whatsoever. Overall for the taste & the value this place is 2 stars imo. Very disappointed in this restaurant. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Came from California, pho can be hit or miss but this place is a 10. Some of the best broth I've ever had. I added a beef rib, I will say the rib was a little cold but after letting it sit in my broth it warmed it up no problem. Not really an issue just would've preferred the rib to be warmed up. The servers are super friendly and accommodating. The egg rolls were also really good. Restaurant is clean, they got graded an A on the health inspection. Highly recommend. read more

This place just opened up and is already a very welcome addition to the food scene in Carson City. I had the Lychee tea, the crab rangoon's, and the beef and garlic noodle dish. The lychee tea was adorned with beautiful flower petals and real lychee fruit. The crab Rangoon's were perfectly crisp and had a delicious sweet and sour dipping sauce. The beef and noodle dish had beautiful presentation and was very comforting. The food was very reasonably priced and my whole meal was only $25. The ambiance was inviting and the staff was very attentive and friendly. This place is a must try if you're tired of the same restaurants in Carson City. read more

My wife and I recently visited this quaint kitchen. We were immediately struck upon entering by the most gracious host, Victoria. She was charming and very knowledgeable about the offerings. We asked her to guide us to "her" favorites which she graciously did. We started with egg rolls with a blonde fish sauce for dipping, yummy, I have never tasted that particular type. Then off to a delicious combination chow mein, amazing, and a BBQ pork bowl that had deep and complex bbq on the fire flavor. I'm trying the Banh Mi Sandwich next time. Victoria made the whole experience amazing. Great job to the whole team! We will be seeing you again soon. read more

So far so good! Have ordered takeout a couple times now and the pho has been great! The spring roll were super fresh and tasted made to order, overall everything was very good. Look forward to trying more! read more

To early to tell if this place is going to survive. At the top of the list is the pho-ga (chicken soup). Best we've had in a while and certainly the best in Carson City. Generous slices of chicken and a hearty broth set this up for success. The Vietnamese egg rolls were a little bland and did not come with enough lettuce for the three rolls in the serving. And, no little dishes to mix sauces in for dipping. This will probably improve as the restaurant evolves. At the bottom is service. Slow despite being half empty, table was not set with everything needed and napkins are apparently a scarce commodity! None on the table and the server was asked twice; we were delivered two. Looked around and every table was in the same boat. (Probably should bring our own next time.) Lastly, the server was unable to accurately make change for a cash sale. Got it, we're in the digital age but counting change is a basic function of POS service. As it was, it just reduced his tip rather than go back and forth with arithmetic; an expensive lesson no doubt. With a decent product this place may go far but it won't as long as the service is haphazard. Overall, you won't leave hungry and the pho is quite good. Don't let the lack of service give you heartburn! read more

I was craving pho and finding ingredients to make it can be quite tricky here in northern NV. We went here based on reviews and proximity. The food was delicious, servers were very kind, and the place was clean. It was a busy Friday night and they were also doing a large amount of take out orders as well. We came in with a group of seven. Despite all that, there wasn't a long wait for food or drinks. Five of us ordered pho, one ordered bbq, and one ordered a salmon special. We also ordered appetizers: crab rangoon, fresh spring rolls, and chicken wings. All the hot food was piping hot and spring rolls tasted fresh and delicious. The pho had the complex layered flavors I was looking for. It's all about the broth in pho. The Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, cilantro, cut limes, etc. were all very crisp and fresh. You can see they take pride in what they do. We also ordered boba drinks. There was an oversight of leaving some flavors on a menu that they no longer offer, but we pivoted and order something else. We enjoyed the drinks as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Best Vietnamese food in carson city. Beef with garlic noodles is the best. Service is excellent. Ambiance is great, nice and clean. Owner chef is very nice read more

We returned to Nam to order two BahnMis; one chicken and one pork. Yum! We'll be back!

First of all, there is a beautiful hand painted picture of a street scene in Viet Nam. It encompasses most of the west wall. The service was excellent. The food was excellent as well. We had wonton soup and a salmon special. Both excellent. This is a casual restaurant located in a small strip mall on E William Street. You might miss it if you weren't looking for it. Definitely I'd recommend you try it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Pho was F***ING FANTASTIC, And the server is dope as hell! Friendly as can be, with great recommendations.

I gave this place TWO chances because I wanted to like it, but both visits were a complete disappointment. The first time, my pho came out undercooked and the meat was so rare it was basically inedible. I waited a month, came back hoping things improved, and somehow the experience got worse. We ordered egg rolls that came out raw, sent them back, and when they brought a new batch they actually tried to charge us again for their mistake. On top of that, the owners wife was rude and unprofessional heard her talking about us to the server -- no apology, no accountability, just attitude. Save your time and money. I won't be returning. If I could give this, no stars I would. read more

Great Pho in Carson City! The noodles are delicious too. Good rice + meat options for kids.

I placed a delivery order and it was canceled because the item was "out of stock." I called the restaurant to check about the refund, and they just said they were closed that day at 7 pm, which was the reason they canceled my order--even though the store was still showing as open on DoorDash. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm the refund. They said it would be issued within 5-7 days, but it's now been 9 days and I still haven't received anything. read more

We went there on Friday lunch.. we ordered combination starter, regular pho beef added meat balls, grilled lemongrass beef bbq with rice, Vietnamese ice coffee.. unfortunate they ran out of bahnmi.. Taste wise, everything is beautiful, balance and umami/flavorful.. the bbq lemongrass beef was delicious , it was marinated well - a must try one.. however, quantity wise compare to the price - is a 3 for me.. the rice is way too much compared to the beef quantity, and the slices were small.. it looks a like the last chunks in the last bowl...for $16, perhaps they could add more slices.. I like their Vietnamese ice coffee too, it was not too sweet... the same way with the beef Pho.. I preferred Pho 777 in Reno for the same price. More condiments and meats.. Service took sometimes too.. I think the server needs more trainings.. If you are not in a hurry, pls try Nam Kitchen, they are delicious.. But due to slow service, quantity and price wise - it is a 3.5 star for me.. Ambience is ok, the restaurant is cleaned and they have few big tables too.. All the best for Nam Kitchen read more

The Shaking Beef dish was spectacular!!! The rich flavors of the beef were balanced by the garlic noodles. My second time here and a new favorite. I may need to try something else next time. Excellent, personable and attentive customer service. Love the music. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food is great and dinning room very nice. Highly recommend the chef is great. We really like appetizers and soups.

A Vietnamese Gem with Michelin-Level Flavors Tucked away in a cozy corner of the neighborhood, this Vietnamese restaurant delivers an experience that goes well beyond a casual meal. From the moment you walk in, the ambience sets the tone--warm lighting, clean lines, and a gentle buzz of conversation that feels inviting rather than overwhelming. The staff match the mood perfectly: attentive without hovering, quick with suggestions, and genuinely welcoming. But the real magic happens once the food arrives. The Chicken Pho is the star of the show. The broth is the kind that makes you pause after the first sip--crystal clear yet deeply layered, with a slow-simmered richness that speaks of hours of care. It has that unmistakable Michelin-caliber depth, balancing savory warmth with subtle aromatic notes. The chicken itself is tender, moist, and perfectly portioned, while the rice noodles have that soft, slippery texture that pairs beautifully with the broth. Presentation is clean and elegant, with fresh herbs piled generously on the side and a vibrant sheen that makes the bowl look as good as it tastes. The Vegan Pho deserves equal praise. This isn't a bowl that feels like a compromise--if anything, it's a triumph. The plant-based broth is surprisingly robust, layered with umami and natural sweetness that comes from vegetables treated with real technique. The texture of the noodles, tofu, and veggies comes together seamlessly, offering a comforting yet refreshing bite every time. It's the kind of vegan dish that could convert even the most dedicated meat-lover. Surprisingly, the prices are extremely affordable. Before the pho even arrives, the tofu rolls set a high bar. Light, crisp, and beautifully wrapped, they come across as a perfect starter--delicate in texture but bold in flavor. The dipping sauce ties it all together with a balance that feels close to Michelin-level craftsmanship. All in all, this restaurant is a standout in every category: food, ambience, and service. Whether you're a pho purist, a vegan diner, or just someone chasing great flavors, this spot delivers a beautifully crafted experience from start to finish. Highly recommended. read more

Looking for a good pho restaurant and this did not disappoint! The beef pho was definitely the highlight and we will be back to enjoy it again. We also got the fried egg rolls. They were cooked beautifully, but weren't to our liking. They tasted like vegetable egg rolls, so if you like that, you will love them. Admittedly, on the menu they don't specify what the filling is. We also got the clay pot chicken, which was solid. Giving the restaurant a five star for the pho which definitely deserves it! read more

I had a great experience at năm. The pho was really good--rich, flavorful broth with well-cooked noodles that felt comforting and authentic. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion size was satisfying. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving pho. On top of the food the service was amazing and the staff were especially caring and nice. read more

Great restaurant with super friendly staff. The menu doesn't have allergy labels so my server went to check to see if the beef pho was gluten free. I don't think they have dealt much with celiac disease/gluten intolerance but they were willing to check and make sure things were safe which I appreciate. The pho was delicious and I personally didn't have any adverse reactions to the beef pho. Highly recommend read more

First time visit on February 11, 2026 for lunch. Around noon, the place was PACKED. Found a table and sat down. It took a few minutes for the server to come by (it was really busy), he apologized but came with waters for my friend and I. We had grabbed menus and were ready to order at that moment. My buddy and I both order No. 1 pho (large bowls) on the menu and spring roll(s). The portions were huge and the food FANTASTIC. The SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. While not inexpensive, the large portions created an extremely good value for the money. I took a photo of the bowl I had, showed the staff (they loved it) and would love to post it. They have one wall with nothing to adorn it. I hope they can get a few others (like me) to submit photos of their dishes, frame the photos and put the on that wall! GREAT PLACE, FOOD and SERVICE. I will be going back often. read more
