A success story with the Namdo, where you can be certain to find something to suit your taste in the (for me, still-relatively unknown) Vietnamese cuisine. Absolutely different from Chinese, Korean or Japanese, the dishes here may be unpronounceable but highly tasty. The pho, obviously, is the easiest beginner 's dish. You leave here with a sense of satisfaction and fullness, but never in a heavy way. Location is inviting and cosy. Staff very attentive and friendly. To be discovered.

We rarely eat such good nems. The service is sometimes a little slow, but it's really worth waiting.

It was completely empty and made us think twice if we should go in (there is another Vietnamese restaurant near by that was completely packed) but it turned out to be great. Pho was rich in flavor and chicken was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend it.

Not something that happens often but when it does it might not be ready to quench. But that is what Namdo promises. Except the soup is standard, chili is replaced with chirasha, lemon is included wholly in the soup (I like it better with lemon and soja in a separate plate so you can add what you want) and lacks herbs. Tastes too much of premade pho cubes. The place itself makes for a noisy luncheon, full of workers on break.
