Wonderful, authentic Vietnamese food at fair prices. The service is top-notch, and the Chef, John, delights in cooking delicious fare. Try the bun (vermicelli dishes), hot pot, shaking beef, Korean ribs, beef rolled in onions, and seafood pho. As to appetizers, try the quail and spring rolls. Great stuff! Kenn read more

Good food in a family atmosphere. Been going there for years! Service is quietly perfect.

Love this place. Pho is great . Bonsai is incredible. Many choices all fantastic. I have some photos but was unable to puton

I hadn't been back to this place in 8 years for a reason. I was craving Pho and didn't want to drive 30 mins to Charlotte. I wanted to try the new place in Mooresville hello me but it was closed due to gas emergency. Pho NC was closed on Monday so next best option was Pho Nam. Ordered the combination beef pho and two shrimp spring rolls. Realized the prices were fairly cheap. Pho was a little bland. The meat was cooked pretty good. Give it 7/10. The shrimp spring roll was so bad. It was so thin. The rice paper was chewy. It tasted like they rolled up Lettuce with one shrimp cut in half. Did not taste any other vegetables. The sauce was excellent though. That made it edible. 2.5/10. I went to Hello. Me two days later. It's a little more expensive but that place was much better and worth the extra money. I hate to give this place a bad review because I like the owners. read more

Good stuff. They are known for their soup, but I went with the chicken and rice. Also had a small soup on the side. Here's a breakdown: Chicken: 4 Rice: 5 Soup: 5 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4 Atmosphere: 4.5 - This depends on what your'e looking for. If you want something fancy, it's not for you. If you want something genuine, it's for you. I still have to try the steak, but a 5 overall for now. read more

Very average at best. Limited choices for non-ethnic dishes. Atmosphere sorely lacking. Service is ok.

Every time we go into this place, the service is wonderful and the food is excellent! I have not had anything I haven't liked, and the food is consistent. This is our go to Pho place! read more

This place is amazing! I'm originally from Texas and they have a bunch of pho places down there. Been looking for a great pho place for awhile & I found the one! I love to get the meatball pho here, delicious! The staff was very nice. Me and my boyfriend originally came right when they were closing from lunch, the gentlemen gave us beverages on the house! Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Driving by was surprised to see this place. Open sign on was super happy and in need of a snack. Order was for two shrimp rolls (rice paper). The guy behind the counter seemed shocked asking if "that's it"? Then when payment was being made wanted cash over card. Walking around an empty dinning room had time to watch what was going on in the kitchen. Two men were preparing food with No Gloves On. The guy behind the counter go's into the kitchen and starts to make my order? Uhm excuse me? No hand washing, no gloves. Order cancelled and left grossed out. read more

Fantastic family restaurant. Always on point Pho. Been going there for over a decade and always consistently great

I have stopped at Pho-Nam twice now and enjoyed each visit! Good pho and good rice dishes. Prices are reasonable and service is quick. There is nothing incredible about Pho-Nam, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It has become my go to lunch stop for the Cornelius area. read more

It was ok, the broth was very mild. The setting is super nice and new but I will go to Pho Cal down the road. Much better broth

Best Pho in north of Charlotte, great customer service and dank Thai iced coffee. Always a recommendation

I love this place! I frequent it to get Pho for takeout. The soup here is so fragrant and flavorful. Also, the portions are impressive. I always feel full and happy after eating a meal from here! I love how they pack out the noodles and soup in separate containers and bag up the toppings for you. The staff is probably the most wonderful part. They are nice and remember regular customers, which I am unashamed to say I am. read more

Delicious pho here - broth is spot on, good portion size and lots of meat. We had the beef ball pho, triple meat pho and Korean rib plate which comes with rice, small salad and a bowl of pho broth. Service is excellent and fast. read more

First I will share that I am Vietnamese from the Bay Area of California. My family and I have been dining at Pho Nam since it opened. We have watched one anther's children grow, as well as the business. It is simple, home style Vietnamese cooking. No gimmicks. Simple, comfort food for this girl miles away from her Viet family...specifically Mom! The owner, John, will always greet you with a warm welcome and instantly make you feel at home. He will remember you each time you return and make you feel like you are part of his family. The day I leave the Lake Norman area I will be sad for this will be the spot I miss the most. So many memories. So much laughter. So much good, home food...it's not the place for foodies who need fancy cooking terms and special effects. It's the place for family. BTW....The Spicy Beef Soup is my favorite, prepare for clean sinuses. And if you have never had Banh Xiao... YES! read more

stuck in traffic on 77 and was hungry so fired up yelp on my phone and found this restaurant. When we arrived the owner let us in anyway even the sign said will reopen at 5pm (we arrived at 440pm). All your basic Vietnamese dishes are on the menu, rice plates, Vermicelli..etc. We both ordered combo pho and it tastes great! We also ordered Shirmp roll and it was good. The owner John is very nice and attentive. After he found out I was from the bay area, he started chatting with me about how he lived there for many years and had restaurant there as well. overall a great experience dinning here and will be back next time I am in the area read more

Tried this location for first time; very good experience. Food was seasoned properly with large portions. The Pho was really good. I would recommend to any who is nearby to try out. read more

Great food. Love the chicken Pho and Basil Fried rice . Definitely recommend . Looking forward to trying other things in the menu.

We finally got the chance to try this restaurant after countless recommendations from local vietnamese and it did not disappoint. The flavor was spot on and is the most accurate vietnamese flavors. I can honestly say this is by far the best vietnamese restaurant in the area. Do not let the pictures of the restaurant and location deter you. Seek it out and try it. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love this place! I've been here twice and my trip today (8/21) was awesome! The Pho Tai is amazing. The broth is so, so flavorful and the garnishes are very fresh! I can't stop thinking about it. I can't wait to try more of their dishes. If you want good Pho, go here! The owner is super sweet as well. He let me and my friend have free drinks from the fridge (he lets everyone--but it's still very generous) and he also gave me extra noodles and broth to take home for free :) read more

Pho Nam - Mmm! Pho Tai! Incredibly delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Quick recap: if you want the best pho you come here. Not a big location and nothing fancy, just good food and fast service. Highly recommend this place if you want to try out high quality Vietnamese food. I usually get the regular Pho, but the shrimp rolls and the chicken and rice are on point as well. Make sure to ask for the chilli oil for your food as it will take it to the next level. Extremely friendly and all around great joint. Cannot recommend enough. read more

The pho is fantastic! The broth is tasty and the meat cuts were very good. The ratio of broth to meat to noodles was spot on. Very clean and service was quick and friendly. This is def my fav pho spot in the area. read more

The pho soup is the best pho shrimp is my fav but I just had the chicken and that was fantastic

There are not that many Vietnamese restaurants here in the Cornelius area. Usually, there are more Sushi and Chinese restaurants. We ordered 2 Rare Beef with Rice Noodle Soup. The soup is scrumptious. Love the noodles. Even though it was rare beef, the beef is totally cooked after a while. We were so hungry after the soup that we also ordered a rice dish. The Grilled Pork rice dish was a tad too sweet. Will stick with the Pho the next time around. read more

Inside looks a bit grimey, but the food is delicious! It's the best pho in the Mooresville area! Get the special pho and ask for nuoc beo. Nuoc beo is beef fat if you're into that. It makes your broth extra rich. read more

It's a small restaurant, so the quiet atmosphere was nice and provided quick service. Pros: Seated immediately and the food was served soon after ordering. Also when you leave you can take a cold bottle of water for free (funny alternative to a mint or candy lol). Cons: The menu provided on this Yelp page is incorrect. I went in expecting the pho to be only $6.95, but it's actually $8.95 for the simpler pho varieties and then $9.95 for pho dac biet (the one with many different meat types). So... I'm pretty disappointed by the misleading advertisement, but I guess I should've known that it was too cheap/good to be true. I'm not sure if this is an issue caused by Yelp or the business. In the end, it's really just like any other pho restaurant in terms of price and taste. Not bad but not special enough that I'd return often (I'm from Southeast Charlotte and visit the Lake Norman area occasionally). But if you're close by and craving pho, this is a good place. read more

When you are looking for good quality Pho...pho nam is the place to go. It's small and much like an "off the beaten path" type of spot. Def fam owned and operated. The food is consistently delicious and a pure treat! To me, the best broth makes the best Pho and this place has it down perfect. I try to make it to this place at least a few times a month. I've even found myself here a few times a week when the craving is strong. read more

Overall, our dish was fresh and full of flavor. Our meals arrived fast and we were satisfied with what we ordered. I also enjoyed the spring roll with the peanut sauce. My chicken pho bowl was so much better with the fish sauce added. We will return and try other dishes! read more

This little tucked-away restaurant is wonderful! We tried lots of dishes and were thrilled with them all. The food is perfect - in taste, seasoning, and presentation. The service is also excellent, and the entire atmosphere is very welcoming. I can't wait to go back - and I'm proud to give them my highest recommendation. I don't think you can go wrong here!! As an earlier reviewer said, the restaurant is unassuming, but fantastic - and well worth your time to visit. You won't be disappointed! read more

It was the tofu pho for me! I wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy, so this fried tofu pho was an instant pick me up. Even during the usual lunchtime rush, we were seated promptly and didn't wait long to receive our order. I'm hoping to have the opportunity to really explore more of their menu in the future. read more

This is the best Pho restaurant in town! I love their pho ga and I get it every single time. Very generous portion sizes and the staff is so friendly! Every time I come, they offer me a free drink and thank me for my business and wish me a good day. The restaurant is always extremely clean and tidy. I always feel so welcomed at Pho Nam and it is safe to say, I'll be back once a week, forever. You can trust that Pho from Pho Nam will satisfy you (and beyond) every single time. read more

Ordered well cooked meat pho with extra meat. I'm glad I ordered extra meat, because it still wasn't very much. I thought the broth was very salty, and not as flavorful as I would like. Overall, the pho was okay. I do think it's better than nearby pho places. However, it's not the best pho I've ever had. read more
