Profile

Neither shabby-cheap nor trendy-chic, Nam claims the sparsely populated Vietnamese-restaurant middle ground: understated Tribeca hip with handsome bamboo-and-wheatgrass décor and an appealing, affordable menu. Sample wonderful bo bia (soft rice-paper rolls filled with jícama, shrimp, and sweet sausage), luscious shrimp-chicken-and-bean-sprout-filled coconut crêpes, and street-food-inspired thit nuong cuon (lemongrass-beef-and-sesame rice-paper rolls), all lovingly prepared by a trio of talented Vietnamese cooks. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Rice-paper bo bia rolls, $7; steamed shrimp dumplings, $7

We arrived at 6:30 on a Wed night: the restaurant was 1/3 full. Pleasant atmosphere, yet with a cold attitude of staff.The waitress was quite pushy. She kept asking whether we were ready to order and pulled plates from us while we were obviously enjoying nibbling the excellent sauce that comes with rice paper rolls. White rice was overcooked!! Chicken in lemon grass sauce came lukewarm. Food tasted very good. May be a better place in the summer hoping not to find the same staff.

Excellent !

This Vietnamese restaurant is really excellent. I really enjoyed the elegant decor and the lounge music : finally an Asian restaurant without the "typical" folklore... The meals are really tasty : the Pho (beef and noodles) is excellent, the Chia Gio are just as crispy as you would wish, the lemongrass and shrimp soup is a joy of flavours, and they have this special entree with shrimps and all kind of spices which is absolutely delicious ! While on vacation there, we had the chance to go there twice, and I wish I could have gone more to try everything on the menu !
