I found myself in Malmo and craving Vietnamese food. To my surprise, there are multiple options for…read moreVietnamese in Malmo, but Nam Đô (Southern City in Vietnamese) stood out to me. When I arrived, I was charmed by the ambiance but disappointed to be told that they couldn't serve me because they were booked and I didn't make a reservation in advance. However, the greeter asked me how quickly I could eat. I was dining alone, so pretty quick. She decided to seat me at a long table, set to serve a party of eight or so, by myself. I promised to finish within 30 minutes before the party arrived. I sat down a looked around. The decorations were charming, and did in fact make me feel like I was in Việt Nam. The walls had fake window covers in the colonial French style. There was a small cart straight from Việt Nam in the center of the restaurant, from which a street vendor might sell handmade foods. And at the entrance wall there is a life-sized poster of a busy street with motorbikes in Sài Gòn, with frantic electrical lines haphazardly strung across the sky. And indeed, above the restaurant there were "electrical lines" randomly strung throughout the restaurant, to make you feel like you're living inside the poster. Very nice touches. Alas, this sensation and the kindness of my greeter were the highlight of my experience. For someone who sat me down on the promise that I had to eat quickly, they kept me sitting there with the menu for quite a long time. I ordered an appetizer and a classic Vietnamese dish of Vermicelli, grilled pork, and eggrolls. The appetizer was not what I expected it to be. I read it from the Vietnamese in the menu and even accounting for regional differences in dialect, I was pretty confused by what I got. Maybe I was tired from traveling so I won't count that against them. The appetizer was fine although I would have called it something different and had I known this was what I was ordering, I wouldn't have bought it. As for the main dish, the fish sauce was very authentic and delicious. The pork and the vermicelli were good. There were even picked carrots that were delicious. All was great, except that the eggrolls with this particular dish were of the Chinese sort, with cabbage inside, which was not the right sort of thing to go with this dish or to go with fish sauce. The sort of eggroll in this dish was the kind that goes with sweet and sour sauce. I can't believe someone would serve Chinese egg rolls in this particular Vietnamese dish -- they are two completely different things -- and made me question the judgement of the chef. I had gotten off a 12 hour flight and took a 45 minute train to get here. I was craving a specific thing, and I felt tricked by what I got. Kind staff. Great decor. Food is decent but ultimately disappointing.

Enjoyed a nice dinner at Nam Do while traveling in Malmö on business. The warm, cozy atmosphere…read moredrew me in from the street, as well as their menu posted outside. Their selection of starters and main courses is what you would typically find on a Vietnamese menu, so you'll find many familiar choices, including pho. I went with a fried rice dish with vegetables, chicken and beef, topped with a fried egg. They also have a good selection of cocktails, wine, and beer. Also, their desserts are all lactose free! (Items on the menu that contain gluten are also clearly marked.) The service is very kind and attentive. Two large groups came in to dine after I arrived, so you can tell that this is a popular place.

This time two of us ordered the after work menu where you get a sampler starter, entree & beer or wine-fixed price. From the starters, enjoyed the Tiger Prawn & the Rice paper wrapped prawns rolls the most. Both the chicken and steak Bun were just the right portion with noodles and veggies with fish sauce making for a tasty combination. The Crepe with mushroom filling came with sticky rice & was excellent! Service was good overall although our server could've checked on us more often. Has turned into one of our go to spots for Vietnamese in Malmö!

It could have been better…read more I came here for late lunch and this is one of the few restaurants in Malmö that is open past 2pm (they are open until 3pm for lunch), so we barely had any choice than this. Thinking that I usually like Vietnamese food, why the hell not? I chose the vegan dish (I'm not a vegan) nr 10 (bun dau hu xao sa) - pan fried tofu with lemongrass and vegetarian sauce and have them with rice instead of rice noodles. The food came REALLY FAST, so fast it's suspicious. The taste was actually good, the tofu was nice, the brown vegetarian sauce was taste good. Then my lunch date came and he also ordered something from the menu and it also came very fast but before it came, I heard the beeping of microwave. UH OH. Our food was microwaved! Such a big no no for a restaurant, especially a respectable Asian restaurant that is. Sure, the taste is good, but shouldn't there exist the ten commandments for restaurants including "THOU SHALT NOT MICROWAVE FOOD"? I doubt I would come here again after that beeping sound. There's a "snabb mat" as you would say in Swedish, but there's also microwaved food, that is equally snabb but half as great in terms of quality. They should have told us that they didn't have ala carte and have us picked from the lunch buffet instead, it's fairer that way - instead of making us chose ala carte and warm it up behind our back. Nope, sorry - never coming here again!

A smaller, cozy restaurant. You order & pay at the counter & they bring your food out to your table. I had my eye on the Crispy Banh Xeo but they didn't have it available this week. I decided to go with a Banh Mi. The nice lady who took my order recommended either Chicken or Veggie (Tofu). I went with the Chicken with some added fresh peppers for a kick. She asked me if I wanted to add 2 fried eggs. I said "Why Not?!" (& yes you do want the fried eggs!) The sandwich was excellent! The Baguette oh the Baguette. It was just right-not too crunchy or soft-like it was just out of the oven. With the right balance of chicken and toppings all coming together perfectly. & the eggs take it to that next level. One of the best Banh Mi sandwiches I've had! Friendly people behind the counter with a laid back atmosphere. Looking forward to returning & trying the rest of the selections!

We were sat promptly and the atmosphere was nice; however, the servers didn't seem too friendly. I left a cash tip and when paying my tab via credit card, the server automatically selected 10% tip which I thought was very shady because I had already handed him a 25% tip! Very shady and luckily I caught it so I just voided the transaction and made sure to select "no tip" on the credit card machine because I had already handed him the cash tip. There were a lot of locals here, so many he was taking advantage of us because he knew we were tourists. Just be careful!

Check came on portable credit card machine and as waiter was preparing to have me put in my card he added a tip without asking.

The problem we always have with this restaurant is that one of the people serving (the owner?) is always very rude. I saw another comment that was spot on and labeled him the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld and I agree that his rudeness has become somewhat of a joke when we go there too. We ask ourselves: "wonder how we will be insulted today?" But for any newcomers this rudeness can really ruin a night. The food while still being ok, is not special enough to make you put up with this kind of treatment. I don't go here anymore unless other restaurants are fully booked.

I was a little bit skeptical with "Asian" places like this, especially the ones that offer quick lunch takeaway since I have my fair share of disappointment thanks to those kinaboxes in Copenhagen. It turned out, it wasn't really that bad. I went here during lunch time and although the queue was really long (hey, a lot of people do like it!) it went fast. You grab a plastic tray, move forward along the queue as you fill in your tray with the food on the buffet, it's nothing fancy, rice, noodles, spring rolls, sweet and sour stuff, some chicken curry (which I didn't try) some vegetables stir fry, beef stir fry and you stuff it as much as you want into your tray and you pay 69 SEK for those. Pretty darn good deal. I was so expecting the food to be bad that I was pleasantly surprised when I found that it wasn't. It was actually quite good. The rice was cooked properly, the beef stir fry and vegetable stir fry were nice and the spring rolls were clearly handmade (not those frozen stuff they heat up). Some people complain that even if you don't want to "take away" your lunch, you still have to deal with plastic tray and plastic utensil, which is a valid point, but for me, it was more important to have my lunch to go as I ate at my office. Again, this place can be an emergency backup if I need something Asian, quick.
