Food: Flavorful but hits and misses

If you find yourself at Nem, don't miss out on the Nem Nuong Cuon and Noodle Spring Rolls, frequently praised for being savory and freshly prepared. The Charbroiled Shrimp Rolls Chao Tom also gets a nod for its flavorful charbroil. However, some customers have complained about bland tasting food and less fresh ingredients.

    Perfect balance of meat and veggies, portion size just right.

  • Okay Taste

    Decent food experience with varying opinions on taste and quality.

  • Low Quality

    Old vegetables and strong fishy smell in shrimp detracted from meals.
