Nam Sandwich shop is an affordable lunch or dinner stop located just a few steps west of Bellwoods Park. The space is open and clean, making it a nice place to grab a bite, Asian fusion style. Banh Mi sandwiches are what had me wanting to check them out, so I was surprised to see that bao ($4), spring rolls ($5), yam fries ($5) and a few other snack options are also available here. The prices are really affordable which makes it easy to try more than one item on the menu when you visit.
Must-try items:
Grilled Beef Banh Mi
Grilled Chicken Bao
Spring Rolls
Nam faces a lively portion of Queen Street and catches ample sunlight throughout the afternoon hours. Staff members work quickly and attentively on each order and will bring it out to you when ready. Service is quite friendly and polite.
It's a pretty comfortable, casual place to dine and the banh mi stands out from others I've tried. They serve it in a longer, thinner bun filled with slightly less toppings, which I find easier to digest. Business hours are from 11am to 7pm, making it an option that's easy on the wallet for me. I'll be back soon to try the minty lemonade and some of the other sandwich offerings.
