Saw mixed reviews on Yelp so I was hesitant to try Nam, but decided to venture in one snowy afternoon for lunch.
The restaurant is not hard to find (right next to Fresh Burger at Leslie/16th). Though it's a small space, the restaurant has soaring ceilings and rustic wooden tables. The restaurant also has a cool neon wall light and overall the ambience of the restaurant is great. I came in with a large group but was able to be seated immediately despite the fact that the restaurant was packed.
Immediately we were given tea, the customer service was fast and efficient. After looking over the menu, we wrote our choices down on the sheet of paper provided. I opted for the tofu pad Thai. The tofu was nice and crispy, and the noodles had amazing flavour. There was a perfect mix of crunch with the raw bean sprouts and peanuts along with the crispness of the tofu and saucy-ness of the noodles - it was great! The others got ginormous bowls of pho which looked very appetizing.
They easily split the bill for my group, however only cash or debit is allowed.
In all, Nam is a solid spot, but I wish that they had more vegetarian/fish options. Vegetarians like pho too!
