As we opened the door the staff was mopping the floor, not a good sign. We were told that it was extremely slow that evening, and they had decided to close early as no one was there. We said we understood (it's a Monday on a rainy night in early December in Campbell River). As we stood outside pondering our almost non-existent choices, see above, the door opened and the young lady Jennifer said "Come on in, we'll happily feed you." It certainly turned our night around! The service was of course spot on, we were the only ones in the place, so that was expected. The food however was unexpected, and absolutely delicious! I mean really good! We have a go to place at home that we rave about, but this place had some serious chops. The salad rolls were quite different from what we are used to but they were fresh, tasty and the peanut sauce spot on. My Pho Xen was so good, bowl filled right to the top, stuffed with goodies and piping hot. The lovely K had the Beef rib Pho and it was absolutely excellent. The decor was understated, but very nice. The fact that they were mopping the floor when we arrived shows that they take pride in their cleanliness. We will absolutely be back the next time we are back in Campbell River, we still can't believe our luck! Would have given them 6 stars if we could have, it was that good.

There is parking nearby and quite ample in the back of the restaurant. Nhau serves fusion Vietnamese as well as traditional dishes. They have a wide array of sides and mains and as far as I've been, the food has always been delicious. I often order the rice patty starter. as well as the chicken wings. The beef phos are a great choice for any occasion and the hearty mains they have of fusion Vietnamese food are a great choice. Dishes are always served in good time, never having to wait long between your starters and mains and the flow is always great without any of the servers rushing you. Servers are always ready with recommendations and service is fast. Nhau also serves alcohol and cocktails. A great Vietnamese place for casual dining with an impressive array of Vietnamese food.

An absolute gem in Nanaimo!…read more upon the recommendation of a very good buddy, on my way to tofino, i passed by nanaimo for a hearty lunch in this family owned Vietnamese restaurant. Staff and owner very hospitable and welcoming! never in my wildest imagination did i expect to find excellent Vietnamese food the city of Nanaimo. this restaurant puts many Vancouver restaurants to shame. Their level of dedication to their craft is admirable and impressive. For appys...We started with fried wontons and the beef roll. My on my, the wontons were crispy-liciously goood! They were not your typical chinese fried wontons...the wrapper is paper thin and had a yellowish colour. And its because they used the spring roll wrapper to make It, making it super extra crispy. The pork filling was hot and juicy. Seasoned perfextly With a touch of cumin. One bite, and you will be in wonton heaven. the beef roll was truly a unique masterpiece. Whoever thought of putting a friend spring roll inside a salad roll and enveloping it with grill beef is a total genius!! You get a plethora of different textures and flavour profiles. With every bite, you get crunchiness of the spring roll, smokiness of the grilled beef, green leafy vegetables, and juiciness of the pork filling...all rolled into 1 roll! How could you possibly go wrong? Its a masterpiece like that of the mona lisa! We also tried the beef curry. Succulent pieces of beef slowly simmered rich thai curry sauce, Complimented by soft jasmine rice. Not a vietnamese dish, but executed with perfection. Curry was rich and robust. Quality coconut Milk and curry paste was used. Now..unto the pho!!! the ultimate test of an excellent Vietnamese restaurant is the PHO. More specifically, the PHO Broth! the PHo here is nothing short of spectacular! You can tell bec of 3 important factors. One, the aroma. Two, the clarity of the soup ( aka i how clear is it). And three, the taste! ( how deep the beef essence is!) This place exceeded expectations and passed with full flying colours! One sip of the broth, reminded me of vietnam. It was absolutely amazing! Head and shoulders above many restaurants in vancouver. Plus, no msg was used. We never felt Thirsty or craving tea. I could tell there was a lot of time, labour, and love invested into making the broth. No shortcuts! Just sheer excellence from chef. I feel very blessed to have been a patron of such fine vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a must try when in the city of Nanaimo. Service was quick and efficient. Will i repeat? As many times as i can! ;) Cheers! Happy eating!

Good food, okay coffee…read more I've had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito and both were delicious, although the breakfast sandwich is a bit on the heavy side from all the cheesy goodness so maybe try something else if you're looking for something lighter. Coffee is okay - comparable to Starbucks. There is lots of seating inside. Service is very friendly. It does feel a bit dim in terms of lighting. Overall a very solid spot to grab some lunch/brunch.

Especially the fruit smoothie, it tasted very fruity and I was definitely sad when I wasn't able to have any more of it when I finished. I sadly do not remember the name, but I'm pretty sure any of the fruit smoothies you can order from here would be all excellent. One star is taken off because I do find the prices a bit on the high side in retrospect to other coffee shops in the area, but i'd come back again otherwise. I especially enjoyed how homey the cafe felt inside. Friendly service too, just like what you'd expect out of small town BC
