Drove an hour for a late-night dinner at Nam Hua, and it absolutely hit the spot. We usually come for the vegetarian buffet at lunch, but tonight we switched it up — and wow. The tamarind shrimp, banh mi xíu mại, chạo tôm, and ốc hương hấp sả were insanely delicious. It didn’t feel like dinner — it felt like a feast. Every bite was packed with flavor. Service was, as always, friendly and welcoming. Great food, great people, and family by your side — what more could you ask for? Nam Hua is our go-to whenever we’re in Garland. We’ll be back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Mom and pop great find in the area. Had lunch on Sunday. They open at 10am. They also have a vegetarian buffet for $15 per person or you can order from them menu. They have a variety selections from rice to noodles to vermicelli bowl. Also have other stir fry as well. They also sells pre-made side dishes as well. The restaurant is clean and the staffs are really nice.

Nam Hua is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Garland. We had a great experience dining here, starting with the spring rolls, which were fresh, light, and packed with flavor—the perfect way to kick off the meal. For mains, we ordered the salted fish fried rice and the Cơm Đặc Biệt, and both dishes delivered. The salted fish rice had that deep umami flavor and was well-balanced with perfectly cooked rice and a subtle savory kick. But the standout of the meal was definitely the Cơm Đặc Biệt. This dish was a flavorful combination of a juicy pork chop, a crispy fried egg, a savory egg patty, and chargrilled pork—all served with rice. Each component added its own texture and taste, coming together as a delicious, satisfying plate that hit every note. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and casual, making it an easy spot to relax and enjoy a comforting meal. Nam Hua delivers traditional flavors with generous portions and great value. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for authentic Vietnamese food done right!
