NAMBO VIETNAMESE CUISINE — Restaurant in Fresno

We were very excited when figure out a new Vietnamese restaurant in town. We had a birthday party of 3 people in here on October 26th, 2023. We ordered 3 plates: Steak Garlic Noodles, Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl, and Korean BBQ Ribs Rice Plate. The restaurant environment was good due to their decent decoration. However, they only provided 1 napkin per people at the table. Moreover, there was not sauces basket if you don't ask servers to bring out. Servers were good by checking on us before and after received our meals. But when we tried to call for checks, they were on their phone without noticing customers. Our food was terrible. 1) Ribs in my Korean BBQ Ribs Rice Plate was rare. When I asked them they said it came as that (medium rare for Korean BBQ Ribs!?). Maybe I'm wrong but I never receive any Korean BBQ Ribs that were cooked as medium rare throughout my whole life. 2) Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl was worst as well. The meat tasted sour like it was left for a long time. We asked server and got a response that it was because of lemon juice from fish sauce. That sour taste was from the meat by the way, not the outside so no, not because of the fish sauce. 3) I didn't ask my friend about how she felt on her Steak Garlic Noodles, so I don't have any comment, but she left the whole plate. Consequently, we all had an upset stomach after. After talking with our server, she took our plate to the kitchen (even though we didn't finish yet) and came out with things like "Ribs are supposed to be medium rare like that. Sour taste was from the fish sauce." Overall, good atmosphere and food decoration. Food quality and...

Honestly, this place is pretty sweet! I am glad to find a decent pho restaurant this far north of fresno that the pho isn't Americanized, to the point where the pho tastes a lot like water, and the portion size isn't downsized.

The service was great! The waitresses were very helpful and nice. The atmosphere of the place is nice. It does remind me of a higher end vietmese restaurant, which is nice, very clean, and elegant. The restrooms were a bit dark compared to the rest of the restaurant, though, but that's just me. I like to see the restrooms because that tells me if the company cares about everything.

And now we get to the food. We ordered the Beef Pho and Shaken beef rice plate.

The beef pho bowl was nice! Hot and enough garnishes and meat to make it taste delicious. The broth wasn't too bad either, Taste a bit different, but different isn't bad, just different. Oh, and I can't forget the size of the bowl, and for sure, it was in a large bowl like a pho bowl should be. With enough noodles as well. Also, it comes in 1 size, I believe.

The shaken beef plate was something I hadn't had before anywhere else, but here it was pretty good. The beef was well seasoned and tasted great with a bit of lime that was provided with the plate. The salad that came with the plate was a bit plain, nothing special there. Other than that, most likely my family and I will visit next time due to it having an interesting menu and a new flavor we haven't had...

Overall good authentic vietnamese food. However the waiters stole my credit card information. From a vietnamese man to another please don't do that. it's shameful to say it but I have to say it to let you know. The tall waiter with acne and the small guy with glasses and tattoo. It's not about your 3rd party payment system. They manually took down the information. I was at your restaurant around 6:15pm and had to wait awhile to get the check. Handed my credit over and waited awhile also and got anxious and walked over to the counter and they both had my credit card hidden inside the credit holder. Check your camera: as I was walking over to the counter the little guy walked away in a hurry with the yellow receipt paper. I was leaving around 6:50-7:00pm. I called back to ask for Vanessa but I couldn't get through; Asian couple with...
