I recently visited Nammi at the Farmers Market and I have to say — this place absolutely deserves a 5/5 ⭐. From the moment I walked in (or rather, up to their counter), to the point I left, everything was delightful.
Firstly, the ambiance and setup are charming — it retains that food-truck energy but elevated into a cozy, bright space that still feels fresh, fun, and welcoming. The staff greeted me with smiles and were prompt, even though they were managing multiple orders.
Now, let’s talk food — I ordered their pho / noodle bowl (with generous slices of beef, fresh herbs, onions, and plenty of rice noodles), plus the side “garnish pack” of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeños (as seen in my photos). The broth was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced — not too salty, not too bland — with little droplets of fat adding that comforting depth. The beef was tender, and the herbs were fresh. When you assemble your bowl yourself with the extras, it all comes together beautifully.
I also sampled their banh mi (one of their signature items), and it did not disappoint. Crispy, lightly toasty bread, packed with flavorful pork, tangy pickled veg, fresh herbs — every bite had texture and balance. Portions are generous — I couldn’t even finish everything, which is rare for me!
Service was efficient and attentive throughout. They checked in to make sure I had everything I needed (extra broth? more garnishes?), and everything arrived quickly.
All in all, Nammi has nailed consistency, flavor, and hospitality. In 2025, it remains a go-to Vietnamese spot in Dallas for people who want authentic taste without pretense. Highly, highly recommended — I’m already planning my next visit.
If you love pho, banh mi, or clean, bold Vietnamese flavors — do...
Read moreSo it's hard to rate this and if we had just purchasedthe sandwiches🥪 I wouldhave giventhem 4 stars🌟. Just taking one off for the way to expensive, for a take out, serve yourself, fast food place. I had the beef Pho and it had absolutely ZERO FLAVOR! It gets a complete zero stars. The broth had no flavor and both meats had no flavor. Even after adding the mint all i had was Hot Mint Water!! At $17 dollars and in the Farmer's Market Dallas I was expecting it to be wonderful for my first time!!! Well NOPE! The noodles were perfectly cook though. I brought it home and added my own concentrated beef flavor (Better Than) and that couldn't even save it. My chickens really enjoyed it! Hubby had the Bâhn Mí and I had a bite. It was awsome, full of flavor, fresh veggies, great sauces, but at $13 fo a 6-7 in sandwich 🥪 it was not worth buying again. If you have not had this type of food or are wanting to try Pho 🤔 I will say the Bánh Mí is fantastic and give it a try. We had the Jalapeño Beef!! While we were eating i noticed that pretty much it was the sandwiches that were being eaten and a few salads. Do not waste your money on the Pho. Find someplace with 5 stars 🌟 plus on just that alone. $35 and change for 2 waters 💧 one sandwich 🥪 and a bowl 🥣 of not...
Read moreI might be an odd one out here because I've only ever liked vegetable/vegan pho and don't like hoisin. In my experience most people I eat pho with go hard on meat and hoisin, so I think I'm just not the intended audience for the type of meat-free pho.
The quality of the pho seemed very good. Everything was fresh and there were a lot of toppings. I just really disliked the plant-protein "meat" in the vegan pho. There were different styles of the faux-meat and they all tasted like I was putting a big clove or chunk of star anise right on my tongue. Not for me. The broth was also dark and heavy tasting. I love mushroom but whatever else was in the broth was too much. All in all it was an overwhelming amount of flavors I didn't care for, and sadly I tossed most of it. The price was also pretty high compared to other Pho places I eat at, but that is likely due to the plant proteins.
I see a lot of complaints in reviews for other pho places calling vegetable pho bland, so if you like meat pho but are trying to reduce your meat intake or are a vegetarian/vegan, then this might be the veggie pho for you. It just...
