Hai Nam — Restaurant in Houston

This is a local Viet restaurant that I visit every now and then. I haven't been to it in years until recently but I'm glad that the food quality has remained the same. Still amazing and reminds me of authentic home cooked Viet dishes.

We ordered the Dinner for 2 (relatively cheap for the amount of food you get) and chose option 2A. It came with 4 dishes alongside a pot of rice. I think the portion of the salad and chicken may have downsized but I didn't find it to be a problem because altogether, the 4 dishes filled us up. The fish clay pot comes out hot and steamy which is great. The finale and last dish was the Sour Catfish Broth which comes in a huge serving bowl (so much that we had alot leftover).

Keep in mind, this place is pretty compact and only has a few tables for dine in (4-5 ish) but we didn't have that problem when we went but something to keep in mind if it's busy. Also worth noting, they only accept cash. All in all, this place is a good bang...

For food they really didn't meet my expectations for restaurant quality food and our service wasn't great. Normally I would disregard the lack of service depending on the quality of food but the meat we had smelled a little off and our green beans stank of fish in a not appetizing way. I was hoping for something that reminded me of homecooked food but the food wasn't even basic restaurant quality in my opinion. I didn't realize it was cash only so I came back from my car with cash and the woman that helped me at the register gave me back incorrect change. At this point I just wanted to leave and didn't try to argue because they had already had so many different issues going on. Not sure how they're still in business if I'm...

This place didn't even TRY to serve me just now. I walked in with cash in hand, ready to give them my business, but they couldn't even say hello in return when I walked in and said hello. After looking at the food we were ready to decide but the guy just sat at a customer table chilling and not recognizing that we are there. Another man walks in for food and they start immediately helping him.

We walked out without even being served or treated like decent people. Only go to this place if you want to feel like you're not worth it as a human being and walk out hungry from lack of service. Terrible,...
