NAM

Lived in Asia quite a while and must say this is the best Pho I've found in Central London (you can get some good stuff over in the East, as well). Frankly, if you are looking for something fancy - don't bother. Some may even consider the cleanliness questionable (I personally don't mind, but some might). Really, the focus here is on food! Very very properly Asian inside and really took me back out that way. I've tried all the Pho's on offer, the salads, as well as the spring rolls, and all are top-notch. The wait is seldom over 5 minutes. If you want proper Pho, please don't bother with the restaurant of the same name which is absolutely awful - do yourself a favour and go to Nam instead. And by the way, just to add - it was refreshing to find proper Vietnamese coffee!!!!!!

Really good food - painfully slow service.

Nam is the No 1 Pho place in London, no question. PHO and Gaytree are unauthentic copies of the real thing.

Iv been going to nam for over a year now and just saw this review...and what I have to say is, what a terrible review for such a "in time" modern vietnamese cuisine. Firstly I thought this review was about nam but half of it is about other places! It mentions that it is a cheap place but with small size dishes.. But for 4.90 and the portion you get I honestly believe they are being greedy. Perfect size bowl..the sort of size you would expect to get if you actually went to vietnam to eat this. They also mention that they sell the basic stuff.... No..its not the basic stuff, its actually the main traditional dishes sold in vietnam which are bought together in this deli for affordable prices. I think time out need to review this place again and give a better rating.

I think Time Out reviews are a load of rubbish! There are rubbish restaurants out there and they give them 4-5stars.. and NAM here sells perfectly tasty affordable healthy food and does not deserve ONLY 3 stars!
