Nambo Kitchen — Restaurant in Pinellas Park

Nambo Kitchen is a solid spot for local Vietnamese cuisine. I stopped in for lunch, curious to try their pho after seeing some glowing early reviews. They've only been open about a month, so I was excited to see how they were settling in.

The space is cozy and charming, with about six tables inside and a few more on the outdoor patio. I started with the fresh spring rolls with shrimp and pork — they were light, fresh, and paired perfectly with a flavorful peanut dipping sauce.

For my main dish, I had the raw beef and meatball pho. The portion of meat was generous, and overall it was satisfying. While the broth wasn’t the most flavorful I’ve had — a touch on the watery side — it was still comforting and enjoyable.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Water gets refilled often. I like the video shown on the TV - one of Asian wet markets and the other beautiful landscapes and sceneries of Asian countries. The space inside is small and they have outdoor dining as well. The restroom is very clean. This is my first time here since they took over what was Bìch Nga. I would...
