The lomo saltado, a Peruvian-inspired dish, has also impressed diners with its perfectly cooked steak and crispy fries. The Asian-Peruvian fusion cuisine has been a highlight for many, with reviewers noting the bold and well-balanced flavors.

Excerpts

We were super excited to try after seeing they were #3 on top 100 places to try in 2026 by yelp, and it exceeded all expectations! The broth is honestly one of the best I’ve ever had, the short rib in the pho is braised for four hrs. The lomo saltado has crispy fries - the steak was perfectly cooked and tender to bite, exactly what you’d want. The garlic noodles were good and are served with different protein options. There are so many coffees, matchas and mocktails that are beautifully presented with hibiscus flowers. Nam has become one of my favorite fusion restaurants when you want Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine. You can taste the quality and flavor, everything was so good and def will be back to try the elote appetizer and fried rice!! My new go to spot for pho!!

Nam was very accommodating. Even while they had a long list of guests waiting they were still considerate of my seating preference. The waiters were very knowledgeable about the menu and provided amazing recommendations. The flavors did not miss. I truly enjoyed this Asian -Peruvian inspired cuisine. Thank you Nam Kitchen ❤️❤️❤️ Follow me on IG - @Akeema.bryan for the full video review.

The pho broth was very good even though it has no msg. The meat was mostly tender and plentiful though I will say the flank was a tad bit chewy. The matcha foam coffee was very good. The oxtail fried rice was good but I wasn't particularly fond of the drier oxtail for the fried rice. I was expecting it to be soft n tender and a little wet. The staff was nice and I would like to come back to try the truffle fried rice and lomo saltado as many have said it was highly recommended. The decor is also pretty neat and open space which isn't common for a typical Viet restaurant.
