We sat at the bar and tried lots of different cocktails and appetisers. Everything was beyond expectation. The flavours of the food and presentation..................outstanding.My fav was the Marrow. Delicious. Even the men got into the cocktails and our bar tender was one really cool lady. We enjoyed it so much we returned the next day.

Best Banh Mi sandwich I've ever had and I've had more than a few! Great drink menu too I had the lychee lychee long time which was a refreshing twist on the classic mojito. Great on a hot day! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I will most certainly return to try more menus items as they all look great. I give it a thumbs up and a must try for sure.

I came to this restaurant for the first time and I absolutely love it! I am not from town and have tried many places in Nelson, but this is now my favorite spot.

Three of us ordered the Viet Yellow Curry Chicken Bowl. We all had the same question, “is this supposed to be a chicken dish?” Counted 4 slivers of chicken and even though we’ve had this dish a number of times before, this one was too spicy. Something has changed at Yum Son and it’s disappointing.
