Delicious food, attentive service. We wandered in without having been here before just because we were nearby. I ordered the stir fried vegetables and tofu and my friend the pho and we both enjoyed our meals. We both agreed we would definitely come to this restaurant again. read more

The closest pho spot to my place. If I'm craving a quick fix this would be it. Pho is decent. It's only available in one size. Slim pickin's. Not as many options to choose from like most Pho spots around the nation. Broth is decent along with portion but definitely not worth the price. We ordered the egg rolls/spring rolls. HORRIBLE. When the server placed it on the table my husband and I looked at it and didn't know what to do with it. Over cooked, yellow and the size of 2 jumbo sized chapsticks cut up in 4s. read more

I've been going here for a couple years, this place is outstanding and family-owned. Just a great atmosphere. I'd highly recommend to anyone traveling in the area or any of my neighbors. read more

This place is great! I stumbled upon in on a drive around the area and glad I did --its the real deal very authentic! For any asian gal it hit the spot because for me , its not about how many pieces of meat in pho ( even though it was plentiful) but it is about the flavor -- was sooo good and subtle with mixed notes . I loved it . I have to agree about the owner- he is so kind and seems to be a good hearted man . The place is casual but I think the real emphasis was on the right stuff-- the food ! The coffee was soo good . The pork was soo yummy . A great mom and pop venue of good eats,! read more

The Pho Ga was so so. The broth tasted like it was made with chicken boujion. The fried rolls where more like bite size popers. It did the job... but I have had better. read more

Refreshing and enjoyable in every way. Reasonably priced, rapidly served, fresh and delicious ingredients. My first time here, I enjoyed the pho tai. read more

This is my first time coming here and I loved it! The owners and staff are very friendly. I got the beef pho and the egg rolls. The egg rolls were cheap and were very good for the price. The beef pho was also very good for the price and I can say you will get your money's worth. I will definitely be back. read more

Been coming here regularly for almost 6 years. Never have I once had a bad experience. The food is always so fresh and I cant say I have ever had better Vietnamese food. Must try their summer rolls they are out of this world read more

Coming from Dallas we have lots of great Vietnams restaurants so finding a good one close by was an absolute must, and we most def lucked out with this one. Pho Nam has great food and you can feel the love that goes into the food. The protions are also right for the price. My favorite part the owner is a Feeder, meaning he lives to feed people. read more

Great little restaurant, highly suggest you check it out. Family owned and operated, super nice people with great service! I only wish I would've started eating at this place sooner! read more

This is the best pho we have had since moving to NC. Best value as well with the amount of meat and toppings higher than any we have found here. The toppings were very fresh and the broth was obviously cooked for many hours. The meat in the pho tai was very tender and paper thin, as it should be. Service was excellent, very friendly folks and the soup came out quickly and water glasses were kept filled. I was surprised the place had been around quite a few years as it could have passed for new, including the bathrooms. Cute location, and outdoor seating is available. We were visiting in Charlotte and drove up to Lake Norman to enjoy this place and the lake and we will definitely make the same side trip the next time we are in the area. We were craving pho but will be sure to try the other menu items next time. Probably with some pho to go. read more

Perfect spot for me on the way home from work when I get a craving for noodles. The rare beef pho really hits the spot and the vermicelli with pork, shrimp and crispy fried rolls is also a solid choice. Unfortunately, the summer rolls aren't great and I've yet to try the banh xeo. But these guys get 5 stars for the noodle dishes and their fantastic, friendly service! read more

See all

This is a great place; I just recently moved near the restaurant and have found myself going weekly since I discovered it. Great egg rolls, and especially delicious shrimp rolls and tofu rolls. The food is fresh and the chef is very helpful- my mother has an allergy to cilantro and it is never in our food when we ask. An entree highlight is the house spicy chicken- even if it isn't on the board as a special, try asking for it. read more

I like to review a restaurant after going several times. It helps to get an average This place is anything but average. The food is consistently out of sight. Highly recommend. Fresh and tasty. read more

Everything was delicious and the owner is super nice! Will definately stop by again if my family and I are ever in the area!

My wife and I just moved to the area and we were looking for some lunch, preferably Vietnamese, so based on some reviews we decided to try Pho Nam. As other reviewers have stated it is definitely a hole in the wall type place, but my dining experience has led me to believe often these places can be the best...and this was no exception! We started with the Banh Xeo and to say it was flavorful and tasty is an understatement! I got Pho Tai while my wife got the Bun Tom Thit Noung Cha Gio and everything was simply marvelous. Add all of the basil, carrots, sprouts and sauces and it was even (if possible) more delicious! I was a little under the weather and the broth cleared me up, maybe some magical cures here, lol. Seriously, wonderful food, an owner who certainly cares about his guests and all for a more than reasonable price, what more can you ask for!! read more

I have been away from this area for a while and haven't had the pleasure of pho nam. The food is fresh and delicious. The owner is so nice! My son and I had pho and the chicken curry chef's special tonight and it was wonderful. We got take out and I was so happy all of the traditional accoutrements were included with pho. The chicken with lemongrass and vermicelli is also a dish not to miss! This is authentic Vietnamese cuisine. read more

This is my favourite place for lunch, awesome food, fast and friendly service and good prices.

Hands down the best pho around and all of Charlotte metro area. The spicy noodle soup is also delicious. Customer service is a 10 and the family that runs the restaurant are very cordial and super sweet! Must try! read more

Excellent service, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. I always enjoy this restaurant because the staff is so friendly and prompt. So far I have not eaten a single menu item I did not like. The pho in particular is delicious. read more

The family who run the place are great people but their food is just not as good as Long Van in Charlotte for example. Still, if you don't want to drive 45 min to get to Charlotte then it's not a bad second. Their service is good and, as mentioned, they're very friendly but someone needs to go down to Long Van and see how they do things. I'd also suggest changing the decor. Long van looks Vietnamese and the ambience etc is spot on...here it's just a bunch of tables and chairs with very little feel for anything Asian in it. read more

This was honestly the best Vietnamese food I have ever had! The pho was DELICIOUS along with every other thing that we had. I definitely look forward to returning ALL the time! A true diamond in the rough. read more

I live in Los Angeles where we are spoiled by dozens of excellent pho restaurants. Pho Nam is quite good and could easily compete against similar places in LA. Iced coffee with condensed milk brewed at your table, fresh spring rolls and delicious bowls of aromatic broth. I had the pho tai and it came with ample meat and noodles. The owner is really attentive and the service is friendly. Only flaw was the awful muzak! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who has a hangover or needs a break from the usual north carolina bbq and burger fare. read more

Just moved to NC area. Craving some Asian foods...found this small restaurant online. It was good and appeased my craving. We had some vermicelli noodles with pork and the beef cubes. The noodle dish was good, but the beef cube dish was kind of bland. Overall not bad and would go back again. read more

This place is awesome...I spent 17 years in CA and this is the real deal Pho. They are from Sunnyvale, CA and know Pho inside and out. It is my go to place and I never get enough. The service is wonderful and the owner, brother and son make the experience even better. I have introduced all my friends to Pho Nam and they are all repeat customers. Don't miss out! read more

The flavor is there, the dish was ok, This was my first time eating here. I got the rare beef pho soup. I'm a little disappointed in the fact that I had one jalapeno wheel I was expecting it to be a little more spicy. My basil was not fresh, nor were the bean sprouts. Overall my meal was satisfying I don't think ill be going back though. read more

Pho is pretty good! I like It because it's traditional and not overly salty like most. I would not recommend ordering spring rolls because they are tiny and not much too them. Overall a good place to get your pho fix:) read more

We've been here a few times now, and have loved everything we've ordered. Service: The service is really good - the owner is such a kind man, and always comes out to greet our children. This is definitely a good place for kids. Food comes out fast, fresh, and hot! Atmosphere: What you would expect from a storefront restaurant, but with nice touches. Not the "hole-in-the-wall" you might think it is based on the exterior. Food: All we could ask for. The fresh spring roll appetizer is solid - a couple of shrimp and fresh goods packed inside, with a nice peanut dipping sauce. Our kids (range of 3-9) split the House Spicy Chicken, but order it non-spicy. It's a nice, sweet, stir-fried dish served with steamed rice. They love it. I ordered the Pork Clay Pot the first time, and it was solid - slightly sweet, perfect texture, served with steamed rice. The pho is where it's at, though. We typically get Pho Tai (thinly sliced rare beef that cooks in the broth) and Pho Ga (chicken). The beef pho has a rice, hearty broth, while the chicken pho has a lighter broth. The spices/herbs are blended perfectly. You can taste the coriander, anise, cilantro and ginger. The huge bowls are served with a plate of fresh items - limes, bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, and Thai basil. Condiments on the table are, of course, sriracha and hoisin sauce. The portions are generous, and the meal utterly satisfying. Not much more to say. Prices are very reasonable - pho is around $8, other dishes are up to $11. I'll probably try the bun sometime soon. read more

Great authentic Vietnamese food, really nice people. Great value for price. Not much ambiance, but their investment is in the food. Great for takeaway as well! read more

Was pleased to discover pho in Cornelius, and this place did not disappoint. I got the vegetarian pho, and it was delicious. The service was phenomenal, and the food was good. My husband got the house chicken, and he really enjoyed it. The decor is simple, and the prices are very good for dinner. read more

Amazing food and super friendly staff. Always make you feel welcome. Try the Rare Beef Pho!

Calling all vegans and others with dietary restrictions! The owner is an absolute dear and will make any food to your specifications. This is one of my family's favorite restaurants. The owner made me a vegetable soup which was delightful. For my lunch today I ended up getting spicy vegetables and tofu. The sauce itself wasn't very spicy, but the chili peppers in it perked it right up. read more

we have been going to Pho Nam for 7 years. John the owner/chef knows everyone by first name. If you want more of this or less of that he accommodates. We try and go at least once a week. Good people, good food....support a local establishment. read more

Went here on 2 different occasions during lunch. Their hours of operation each time was not accurate according to any online source google or yelp. Went today 6/15/17 around 1pm and the man said they weren't open (sign said open) never going here again. Inconsistent with hours of operation. Pho Nam, please change your hours of operation since they are incorrect. read more

The food is great, especially the pork vermicelli. That's my go dish, you can opt to get it with rice if you don't like noodles.The Quail are amazing and so are there Wednesday pork bun mi (you have to call Tue and pre order). I just wish there pho broth was on point. read more

Love this place! The family that owns it are beyond friendly! Food is good, service is great! Can't complain!

After finding out our regular pho place was closed on Sunday. My boyfriend and I decided to branch out and give somewhere else a try. We found pho nam read the reviews and decided to try it. We live 16 miles away, I went to pick the food up, briefly glanced in the bag to make sure all was there. It seemed to be so I went home. When I took everything out of the bag we then realized both orders were wrong. My boyfriend was charged for the seafood pho, but got the meatballs? I ordered the well done beef pho and I got meatballs an rare beef instead. Even though we were charged for the most expensive things and received the cheapest, we decided to still try it. Having high hopes an really craving pho. To our dismay the broth was not that great. It was ok. Tasted stale almost. We also ordered extra noodles and didn't receive both orders. If your really craving pho I would not suggest this place. I'd definitely wait until my regular spot is open and have a burger night or something. read more

Great small very clean family owned establishment. Good variety of food and owner the chef and son the server. Food uses fresh ingregiants, is excellent tasting and very consistent. Try to eat there every week. Give it a look and try #21. Had the curried vegetables and vermicelli today. read more

It was delicious. I had the house special chicken and tasted the Chicken Pho Nam - awesome flavor and wonderful service.

One of my favs in the neighborhood, the food is great and consistent. Owners are very nice and personable. Relaxed atmosphere for a quick meal when you don't feel like cooking. Highly recommended!!! read more
