NamNam Noodle Bar

The Nam Nam Noodle Bar was founded by Director and Owner Chef Nam who was born in Vietnam. Under the Les Amis Group, it is considered one of its cheaper restaurants. The casual restaurant is know for its banh mi and pho with no GST and service charge.One of the best deals in the restaurant is its value breakfast set.$5.90 for choice of any banh mi (excluding wagyu beef) + Viet coffee/ Lotus tea/ Bottled water$6.90 for choice of any pho (excluding pho wagyu beef) + Viet coffee/ Lotus tea/ Bottled waterI had tried its pho before and wasn't a fan of it as I felt it was rather tasteless. So I decided to go for the banh mi this time.Caramelised 5-spice pork belly ($6.90 ala carte)Toasted baguettes stuffed with savoury meats, topped with chicken pate, mayonnaise, hot chilli peppers, pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber and fresh cilantro.Quite a yummy combination with the tangy pickles, melt in the mouth fatty pork belly, and the creamy pate (I though it was tuna mayo at first as it was too creamy to the point of watery). Quite messy to eat with the pate dripping all over.Had it with a cup of hot Viet coffee with condensed milk. The drink was served in a metal cup which the older generation would had it associated with the poorer time. The coffee was a bit too bitter, but there was condensed milk on the counter to help oneself to. The drink tasted more better after that.Service was fast, may because there wasn't much people for a weekday morning.…Read More

Since saw a number of post and review about Nam Nam Noodle Bar, Vietnamese cuisine. I was quite curious on their specialty of Vietnamese Food. It is known of the good serving of Pho and Banh Mi. Pho means noodle and Banh Mi is Vietnam Sandwich.Full Blog review : http://cennds.blogspot.jp/2014/12/nam-nam-noodle-bar_9.htmlTaking a look at menu and we would like to go for Banh Mi instead of Pho. Before finalized the order, we looked around on whether they are serving an ice water and i realized that most of the guests didn't order a drink.Banh Mi Toasted baquettes stuffed with grilled chicken meats, egg omelette, chicken floss, and various healthy vegetables such as pickled carrots, cucumber, and cilantro. Suggested to remove the chili peppersif you are a non-spicy foodie. I was dazed when on my half way enjoying the chili pepper, and didn't know that there was a pieces of hidden chili pepper in the midst of the ingredients.Serving ingredients is very fresh and quite full enough for the packed stuffed ingredient in the Banh Mi. The non spicy Hoisin sauce is delighted which i use it to for the compliment of the  sandwich's topping sauce. It taste sweet and have a smell of vietnamese cuisine.…Read More

The queue looks super long. We waited 25mins for a table of 4 & started queuing at 6.25pm. However, I have to say for a franchise chain... Nam Nam does serve one of the best vietnamese food in Singapore, at convenient locations too. I would highly recommend it.I always get the beef steak pho (well-done meat). They put red chili slices in the soup so if you're not a big fan of the spicy stuff remember to ask them to take it out. The imperial rolls are another one of the must-try items. Unlike typical rolls, these are imperial ones are traditional rice paper instead of the egg-based wrapping. This makes them crispier which I love! The only item that did not blow my socks off was the banh minh which I found to be pretty ordinary (unlike the ones I had in Vietnam!).…Read More

It was ever crowded at Nam Nam Noodles Bar during lunch time and i can't make it to try. This time I decided to try breakfast in early morning before office. Ordered The Fish Cake and Tofu Bahn Mi and Viet hot coffee with milk, costs $8.50. The Bahn Mi is really huge and sliced 2 pieces. Taste is really nice and love the sweet & sour of it. The tofu, Chinese parsley, radish inside are quite fresh. The hot black coffee is too strong for me. Overall, above average and probably come back to try the noddles.…Read More

I knew nothing about Vietnamese Noodle until I visited Nam Nam. In their way of doing, noodles were considered as secondary dish, they didn’t eat noodles during breakfast. “Pho” was the most famous dish, maybe the taste was the closet to their national culinary. Open-concept with a high-profile location, the restaurant was obviously visible beside escalator at the central of Wheelock Place. Normal to see the lining up, their reputation was not bad.Putting some unique picture effect on the photo was an art, a bit dark and full of mysterious. Rice flour noodles were boiling in light beefy soup, a little sweet in nature without adding any artificial preservatives. The slices of beef to me were not so nice, too tough and hard to bite. I am not fancy about beef all the while, yet the hearty warm soup and noodles were all right. The price was affordable, $8.90 for my bowl and there was no GST and service charge. …Read More

All along I only know Vietnam cuisine for its famous beef pho & spring rolls, till curiosity of the perpetual long queue at Nam Nam caught my attention. Whenever I passed by this outlet during lunch hour, I will see people queuing for the Vietnam style baguette. I decided I gotta try its Grilled Chicken with Chicken Pate Banh Mi one day!Today was really lucky as my colleague & I saw that there were not many people waiting for a table & we got in pretty fast! Banh Mi actually refers to all kinds of bread but it usually refers to the baguette which is commonly found in Vietnam, introduced during the French colonial period. Oh my! When the baguette was presented to us in a basket, it's really huge! Thou it is a 6-inch one, but the bread definitely looks bigger than my usual Subway sandwich! The baguette was really nice, with a crispy outer crust & soft inside. On closer scrutiny of the ingredients that goes into my Grilled Chicken, it contains Chinese parsley, shredded carrots, red chilli, cucumbers & a spread of chicken pate. I also put some dose of Vietnam chilli sauce to go with. Somehow, this combination is very satiating to my taste bud! It's really a surprise as this is my 1st time eating a Banh Mi! For $5.90, I would rate this as a really satisfying & filling lunch! I shall return to try the beef pho lunch set next time. …Read More

Its always crowed at Nam Nam Noodles Bar, especially during lunch time! So my colleague and i didnt had the chance to try the famous baguette that people was talking about! Only till yesterday when the crowed wasnt that pack than we had a chance of getting a table. We went ahead to order our individual bahn mi. I ordered the tofu and the fishcake bahn mi.Which tasted really good! At first i was having doubts on what i just ordered as we dont normally match tofu and fishcake with bread! Fishcake is the normal fishcake but its the tofu that make it special, its coated with some sauce which i choose to believe that its their homemade sauce. Somewhat like thai chilli but alot sweeter and savorier Along with the main ingredients are Chinese parsley, shredded carrots/ radish and cucumbers. Condiments are on everyday table for customers to mixed and match to their own liking! Would definitely visit the place again to try out more Saigon delicacies. …Read More

One afternoon, I decided to do a quick lunch at NamNam Noodle Bar as I had a sudden craving for Beef Pho. So since the queue wasn't too long (it is always crowded past 12.15pm), I decided to head on down to satisfy my long-waited Pho craving! Upon visiting the restaurant, I found out that they have a Saigon Street Favourite Set Lunch ($9.90) set lunch which consist of a Pho, Fresh Roll and an Ice Coffee. It was surely of great value and I ordered it.I enjoyed my Beef Pho as it smells so good even before I eat it. With a condiment tray filled with various sauces and pepper like fish sauce and chili flakes by the side of the table, I can customize the pho to my liking with it. Hence, the pho was served in its original state without any strong flavours. I like the silky smooth texture of the rice noodles too!Served together was the Fresh southern rolls with sweet shrimps, egg, and fresh herbs. I didn't enjoy this as the surface of the rice flour was dry and tough. It seems to me that they had prepare a lot of portions and have left it in the open. This was disappointing as rice rolls is one of the Vietnamese specialities.The coffee has noting fantastic but The Saigon Street Favourite Set Lunch is available on weekdays from 11am to 3pm. Brave the queue at your own risk as sometimes, it will take up to 20 minutes to get seated.…Read More

Having tried their Pho Beef noodles at Nam Nam noodle bar outlet in Raffles City before, I wanted to try something different this time! I ordered the Southern Rolls and Flower Crab Noodle Soup, which is a noodle recipe from Southern and Central Vietnam. The southern rolls are filled with sweet shrimps, egg and fresh herbs. The ingredients are wrapped in Vietnamese bánh tráng, which is known as rice paper. I felt that the southern rolls were quite tough, however I like the sauce that was served alongside the rolls. It makes it tastier.Besides the deep-fried soft shell crab, the other ingredients included minced pork, tofu and tomato. I love the flower crab stock of the noodle soup, very rich and tasty, but the crab meat is almost non-existent. I very much prefer the Pho beef noodles I had the previous time. I would like to try their bánh mì (Sandwich) the next time I dine in here! :)…Read More

Nam Nam noodde stall is popular, and a long queue can be spotted during the lunch hours. I waited for 25 minutes to get a seat on a weekday, but luckily, the food was served almost immediately after order was placed. I had the glass noodle with sliced beef set lunch ($9.90), which comes with iced coffee and 2 pieces of rice flour roll. The coffee was decent though it was on the sweet side and not as aromatic as i was hoping it to be. Spring roll on the other hand, was bad. They made in advance, and as a result, the skin of the roll was hardened when it was placed on the table, and very hard to bite. Noodle wise tasted good as always, and i always love to add in the fish sauce to my soup. The beef slices were thin and goes great with the chili sauces. …Read More

I actually ate Vietnamese food the day before but still craving for it because I really love the soup for Pho! Sour, yet sweet and salty, inexplicable taste. We queued for 10-15mins and we were given the high table and chairs. Inconvenient? Not really, they have hooks underneath the table to hook up your bags! Really thoughtful design. We ordered a Vietnamese Spring Roll ($4.90) which was actually called “Fresh Southern Rolls with Sweet Shrimps, Egg, Fresh Herbs” and we took quite awhile to find it on the menu due to the unique name! I didn’t find the spring roll exceptional but just the normal Vietnamese spring rolls you can find in food courts, but remember to dip it with the peanut sauce for a more exceptional taste! I ordered Pho Beef Steak Slices ($8.90), was so tempted to get the Wagyu Beef Slices one or just add a piece of wagyu beef ($2.50) but decided not to. The soup’s abit oily though. Taste of the dish was okay, I love the soup! The sour taste of it just whets the appetite. The beef slices weren't really cooked when it first came and it appeared reddish but I let it simmer in the soup for around 5 minutes. Likewise, I didn’t find it exceptional but I still love Vietnamese food! There's quite a wide array of sauces around the table so you can just choose what sauces your want to dip your food with!…Read More
