Phở Nam Định Restaurant — Restaurant in Garden Grove

My mom loves this place for their pho. She likes to eat pho a special way and this place is the only place that makes it the way she likes! It's a hole in the wall that a lot of locals around the area knows.

I'm one of them so I'll let you on the little secret! Dont let looks deceive you. This place is authentic. I grew kinda tired of pho (disgrace since I'm viet) so I opted for their cam tam (broken rice platter)! The restaurant tends to get busy during dinner time, so we always tend to go in between lunch and dinner. The portion for the food is just right, the service can honestly be a hit or miss.

This recent time we didnt see our regular server and it was all new faces. They had a difficult time keeping up with orders and messed up my moms dish. She didnt complain because it was busy, but you could definitely tell she had the disappointed look on her face when the food didnt come out right (before any judgment, she had diabetes and high blood pressure, she requests it a certain way to keep it in check). All and all, we think it's a one time mistake, so we'll...

Im not a Pho expert but i have had it a million times different flavors different tasty broths. Lets start off with our water cups, i noticed the cups where dirty so dirty i was scrapping gunk off the cups (sad other customers didnt notice their cups were also just as dirty) when i turned them away they didnt give us new water just poured the water into 2 other "cleaner" cups. The spring rolls had the thinest pieces of rubbery shrimp i have ever had they were rolled very loosly falling apart just as i picked them up. The #8 broth was very salty and the vegie tofu pho broth was just the same not to memtion the tofu tasted and felt like i was eating a sponge i couldnt even tear into it with my teath it was so rubbery the mint garnish looked old and the leaves were discolored

Never coming back 1 star i paid because im not a jerk but left it all half finished because i couldnt enjoy it with the thought of how dirty their utensils where and the thought of it made my experiance uneasy just to think what we dont see...

Average pho for it being in the Mecca of pho restaurants. Had the beef stew red wine pho and it was hellah greasy, only could eat a portion of it due to its fat content & the flavor was average.

My family members tried fried rice and beef phon& shrimp pho. All were average in taste nothing crazy good or different. The fried rice was waaaay to salty & rice was mushy overcooked.

Service was not great to great, depending on who helps yah out. Overall average .

Would recommend if you need an average place to fill yah guts, other than that nah bruh, there’s more worthy pho places!

This is a top searched google place, that’s how we found it aswell, but Google is a flavor god, so it only does algorithms. Average over all bland could be better...
