A gem!! The papaya salad is a crinkle cut like a french fry and an absolute surprise and delight. I’ve heard the buns are to die for and look forward to trying those next time. They crush it with the soft lighting and vibes too. Maybe I’ve just gone in on slower nights but I don’t know how this spot isn’t packed all the time.

We went here on a Saturday around 3pm and were able to get seated right away. The inside is small and large selection at the bar. It is nicely decorated and could be a good evening spot to hang and drink. We got the ibiza, which is their sweetest drink, and the saigon french quarters, which was strong. Both were good and I look forward to trying other drinks here. They have quite the menu for drinks- alcoholic, non alcoholic, wine, juice, tiki drinks, etc. As for the food, I really enjoyed the roti and the fried wicked buns. The buns remind me of vietnamese donuts and are on the sweet side. They weren't dry at all or hard. They are not that dense either. The ribs and pork belly were fine, but I would be interested in trying more of their other food menu items as well. Parking is on the street and may be hard to fine. Staff was nice and attentive.

This place is the best in Oakland… happy hour is such a deal too. Get the Roti, the steamed pork buns (can’t miss) and the pho extra spicy… heaven!!

So delicious! It’s my go to place when I’m in the area. For everything from date night to meeting friends, to enjoying a solo lunch. I think I’ve tried almost everything on the menu by now and it’s all just so amazing, you really can’t go wrong. The vibe is so great too. Awesome interior that transports you the moment you walk in. 11/10 recommend!

Garlic noodles with their Sriracha sauce are amazing. Also the Tokyo street fashioned cocktail is delicious. Really great spot for a nice meal. Chill vibe

I’ve visited Co Nam twice so far and really enjoyed both experiences. The food is excellent, with some uniquely creative dishes. I’ve never had ribs covered in sesame seeds before, and they were surprisingly delicious. The curry is a personal favorite.
I also appreciated the great conversation with Daniel, the bartender, who’s incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of drinks.
I’d definitely go again!

My wife we’re staying in the area and popped in for a late night bite and cocktail. Not only was the entire staff kind and clearly enjoyed their job, but the food/drinks also represented that. Drinks were so good, and the wicked buns were perfectly cooked and garnished.
Daniel was our bartender, and an experience is always better when you can tell the crew working enjoy it, and that was clear. Thanks Co Nam. We appreciate you!
Outstanding food and then ibes are immaculate. Went for bottomless mimosa brunch, and they were prompt and generous with drinks and food. Vietnamese iced coffee was great. Almost a cocktail bar atmosphere but with way better Vietnamese fusion food than any bar I've been to.

The first and only time I’ve had Vietnamese food taste bland. Thats an achievement I guess, but not a good one. I’m sure there are positives to this place - maybe the drinks? - but I won’t eat there again.
