Hidden gem! Quality food at reasonable prices. Always walked by this unassuming establishment but eventually went in but visited on a whim and is very happy with my decision. They are actually surprisingly busy (glad they are though, support local businesses!), at least the past couple of times I have visited. The first time I visited I got the vermicelli noodles with bbq chicken and spring rolls. Very flavorful and delicious. My partner got the pho and although he said he's had better, it was still delicious and he finished it all. We also ordered summer rolls to get started and that was a great start to our meal, we love summer rolls so much LOL. I will be discussing in more detail the second time I visited as I lack pictures from the first time. Again, everything was sooo flavorful and delicious, the little sweet chili sauce they provide for the spring rolls (also comes with all the BUN, vermicelli, dishes, as well as the rice plate my friend got) is delicious, it really completes the plain noodles/rice. The baguette that came with my friends curry was delicious too, feels like it was home made and just perfectly compliments her curry. It had a slight crisp while being perfectly doughy (we love bread in this house). My other friend got the bbq pork plate, I honestly do not remember much about this as she ate most of it by herself. She enjoyed it quite a lot and the cucumbers were a good refreshing cut to the pork's flavor. I ordered the spicy BBQ chicken skewers, they were amazing, would definitely recommend and order again. I got the summer rolls again because I will always order them when I get the chance to, especially with how much I love the peanut sauce it comes with. The spring rolls were good as well, although it was nothing to rave about. Will come back again when I get the chance to, so many more restaurants to explore! Support small local businesses!

Everything was great! Restaurant is clean, servers were very polite, food came out quickly, prices are reasonable, and lots of seating available. The small sliced beef pho was a good size and spring rolls came out hot. I'll definitely be back.

The broth here is so nourishing and delicious. It didn't leave the msg aftertaste in my mouth. The lotus root salad was so refreshing! I also got the eggplant...So tasty! It was kind of like a black bean sauce...a little on the salty side but cooked perfectly. I don't like mushy eggplant. The man who took my order was so sweet and kind. Service was excellent! I have passed by this place so many times and I'm so glad I decided to finally try it! Definitely going to be coming back!

Never disappoint this place! Crab curry is the best with bread!! Price went up after pandemic. But taste same!!

Why has it taken me so long to know about this place?! Our friends brought us here for a treat saying this was one of the best Vietnamese restaurants. Loved the service here... it's a husband and wife team and they are on top of it! We ordered a lot from the famous crab curry to spring rolls, tamarind beef salad and some rolls we were to make ourselves. That one was a total fail because let me tell you.. I am not good at wrapping my own rice paper rolls! We ended up just eating it without the wrapper. Many local regulars were seen here and it's BYOB! The crab curry is so good with the French bread! It's a chill spot- I will be back again. Metered parking in the front or some parking a in the back. Show some love to the local restaurant. Enjoyed every bite of all the dishes!

This is my go to place for pho when I go in to the office. I have been coming here for quite some time. The pho is always on point. I love the consistency. I either order the chicken or seafood pho. On occasion when I got there with the wife we'll order a spring roll appetizer. Always love that. The owner is such a nice man and he usually knows what you are going to order if you are a regular. Orders come up quickly. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. It is a little smaller so it can fill up during the busy times. The inside is clean and there is a restroom. Another one of my favorites that I hope is around forever

Exceptional food, homey vibes, and an owner you can befriend - this cozy location on S. King st will become your new go-to spot for comfort food. Bac Nam is my favorite family business to support, especially since it's the birth place of my closest friend group today. Their pho, papaya salad, and spring rolls single-handedly bring people together. What more can you ask for? It's definitely worth the fight for parking, although there is a small lot located right around the corner of the store. Otherwise, there's street parking in the surrounding area. My new favorite recommendation is the eggplant tofu stir fry. But you have to get it with the side of rice, which comes topped with the best scallion oil! Note: They're also BYOB!

Made reservations and able to get in quickly. The food was amazing and such a fun atmosphere. Very lively and each dish had its own unique flavor

We were in the mood for pho, and I was taken to a Vietnamese restaurant that the locals go to for pho. There's parking in the back of the restaurant if you don't want to park on the street. As you walk in the restaurant, you can smell the broth. There is also additional searing if you walk to the left as soon as you enter the restaurant. I ordered the summer roll, spring rolls, and the steak pho. The summer roll comes in a single order, and I ordered the roll with shrimp and pork. The summer roll was loosely wrapped, so it fell apart as I was eating the roll. The spring rolls came with vermicelli noodles and vegetables. The broth on the steak pho was delicious! I think I finished most of the soup even after I ate my bowl of pho. The service was good as well. We had waters at our table as soon as we sat, and they were always filled. I didn't read about the crab curry until I left the restaurant, so that will be ordered on my next visit. Thank you Terry K. for taking me here!

WHERE DO ALL THE LOCALS GO AND WHO KNEW????? My first visit to Bac Nam was quite the hoot So here are a few things you should know 1. looks can be deceiving. there is a larger seating area to the left of the entrance to Bac Nam 2. parking is an arduous task. They have 5 assigned stalls in the rear of the building for first come first park diners. Street parking available during the day or after 6:30 pm for dinner 3. take out dishes are very popular 4. if you have questions ask TAM who is the owner, operator, dishwasher, etc. You get the picture? He's so personable I am a creature of habit so rather than to try a new dish, I ordered my usual spring roll salad (sliced spring rolls, vermicelli over shredded vegetables) with their sweet chili sauce. It was HUGE, such that I consumed only half of what they served (HINT- order food to share or eat family style) So that said, I am unable to speak to the other dishes they prepare Soft drinks available for purchase. Water served upon seating. Adult beverages ? BYOB Fun Fact- Toan D was the catalyst for our going here. Jolene L our organizer had never dined here either. This was a FIRST for many of us attendees
