   On my second visit to Nam, I once again had an exceptionally pleasant experience. The beef pho is a heartwarming, especially on chilly days, and is a must-try for everyone. The consistency in the quality of other dishes is also great. During my first visit, I enjoyed the crispy fried calamari (though I missed taking a photo). The pork belly buns are equally amazing. However, Nam’s chicken wings are my personal favorite. Frankly, I’m not sure as to why this place isn’t more popular, especially when compared to another Vietnamese restaurant in Ancoats. In my opinion, Nam offers far better food and service.

   Love this place! Amazing, authentic food, prices are reasonable. Service is good. Outdoor and indoor tables. The place and the toilets are clean. We ordered two starters and some prawn crackers and mains but the starters took a while to come. We thought at least they would send the prawn crackers straight away. The peanut dipping sauce was incredible. All the food is freshly made. The portions are good. I had to take some home with me. Definitely a place we will visit again and again.

   Firmly alright - it feels like this place is caught between wanting to be a restaurant and a trendy student hangout at the same time. The atmosphere is fun, but the music's a bit loud and it feels kind of like a bar. The food is okay, but a bit underwhelming - the pairing of crispy fried foods with liquids and broths is a bit baffling when it, unsurprisingly, results in soggy batter, though I'm not versed enough in Vietnamese cuisine to know if that's the restaurant's problem or just an element of Vietnamese food I don't happen to love.

   Had a fabulous Sunday dinner here. A bit of a roast with a difference, I had the roast pork belly with roast potatoes and veg , with a salad on the side which sounds strange but was absolutely beautiful. Wasn't that keen on the savoury doughnut (suppose it's a Yorkshire replacement) The service was great and it was nice and cool there.

   A small entry door and looks like a bar more than a restaurant so easy to miss the entrance. Inside decoration is very nice. A number of choices on Vietnamese cuisine, all are very signature and famous names, including Pho and Spring Rolls. A little bit spicy but not too much, beef is fresh and juice which I personally recommend over chicken, even though I order a mix one. Good for a quick meal, from order to finish the whole meal with bill paid, just 30 minutes. I am not sure it will be a bar or not at night, as I am just here for lunch.

   Great food & good vibe Service is friendly but long. Took 30min+ for any starters or drinks to arrive on a Thursday night. Although, can see the staff busy, perhaps more staff? Food did really make up for it though - the duck fried rice was really good would recommend. Slightly overpriced but you’d expect that in the area. Shame the wait let it down.

   Cosy and (like Wednesday's bar) simply decorated bar, a warm refuge on a rainy day. (Thank you, Storm Eunice). Polite service and extremely tasty food. Fresh ingredients - the mint and spring onions were particularly sharp. Not as much fresh coriander as I'd like (which is the draw for me with Vietnamese food), but I also recognise that not everyone enjoys the same quantities of coriander as I do. A pretty good vegetarian/vegan range of alternatives to the meat and seafood offer. A nice spot.
