The staff is very nice and kind, saw them handle a very impatient customer where she demanded/argued a 6 top now but clearly they only had table for max 4 people & have to wait. Once they left, they seated us. All the food was fresh and delicious, the nuoc cham def. is mild and not spicy which is good for those not wanting strong fish sauce. Not pictured was the grilled pork vermicelli bowl well balance of veggies, herbs, noodles and meat while the Vietnamese ice coffee is very authentic/so good.

Very mid. Low mid for vegetarians and service was non-caring.

Service is lacking and very dismissive. As if communicating to some passive aggressive personnel. For instance, they made a mistake, when informed them, they didn't acknowledge or anything...
The personnel, simply came back with a mini cup of one piece of meat ball (see photo) -- implying, here's what we didn’t add to your bowl—so shut up now. One meatball cut in half lol. Pathetic.
Wow. A business with this type of careless attitudes generally doesn't last long. And A Nam would be no exception to that general pattern.

My wife and love pho. But the places that make good pho either had a depressing atmosphere or too far from where we live. A nam is in a great location, has really good food (pho and other things) and really pleasant atmosphere with good service. I am so glad this place exists.

As someone from north vietnam, this is one of the more tastier places I found in boston. We had the oxtail pho and the pork vermicelli, both are quite good. The pho broth has some depth of flavor albeit a bit sweet which is typical for southern pho, and the flat fettuccini-like noodle are more like the one I grew up with compared to the angel hair-like noodle from typical viet restaurants in the U.S. The vermicelli has very tasty and well marinated pork. There are some escargot options that we wanted to try, unfortunately they were sold out. The shrimp paste and the tapioca dumpling were also good. Will come back

The food was great. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were bigger than normal pho noodles which is fine, was just surprised. The shrimp spring roll is okay. The meat portion in the pho was good too.

I went with my friend a couple days before Christmas on a Monday evening and there was nobody else there, so my expectations were immediately set to “low.” So glad we were pleasantly surprised! We shared the oxtail pho (number 1 on the menu) and the bánh nậm and both were amazing! Even for our spoiled Vietnamese tastes, the flavors and textures were so good. The oxtail was the most tender I have ever had, the broth was clear but deeply flavorful and the noodled were cooked just right. I only wish they had waited just a minute for us to finish the bánh nậm before serving the phở because I like mine to be piping hot.
The drinks were also surprisingly outstanding, even though I have had many salted plum sodas before. My friend had a cocktail, which was strong enough and pretty too.
More patrons arrived later. Service was alright, as expected for a place like this.
It has a very relaxed and modern atmosphere. I can imagine myself having a long meal here. However service was quite slow, it took around 10 minutes to get us menus. I also got the feeling the staff did not want to help us. They did not provide the spoon need to eat the rice with their catfish play pot. Others have mentioned the pho. The wide noodles are a bold approach, but make it harder to grab with chopsticks.

A hidden gem in Somerville, MA (Boston suburb next to Medley & Revere by Logan Airport, close to Encore Casino). Great service and Vietnamese food is authentic. Go check it out! Oh, they do serve alcohol beverages, too👍

The food here was phenomenal. I recommend the bbq bao and banh khot. Service is a little slow, they should have more staffing for such a busy place.

Helpful menu advice- we had a celiac with us. My wok dish was very flavorful. The rice plate disjointed so it lacked flavor. Pho, for the gluten free fried, was her first and the soft noodle was a hit. Service to get our check was slow. Almost ignored. Otherwise helpful.

Would come back again and again for the phở.
