I made a reservation for 7 adults & 3 kids. The food was fine; the pho broth was flavorful. I had vermicelli with grilled chicken & pork; this was delicious. I also had the rainbow drink. They made it just right without it being too sweet. We had super crispy chicken wings & spring & summer rolls for appetizers. Yummm! The only complaint I heard from my friends was that the restaurant was a tad on the hot side on a hot & humid evening. The unisex bathroom was clean and the service were outstanding. I'd come again.

This place is a mixed bag because some dishes are authentic and very good and others are average. My main gripe is that the portions sizes for the pho are just way too small for the price.The bun bue hue was not spicy at all and not particularly flavorful which is a shame. I will say that the staff here are all very nice so no issues there.All in all it’s a decent place but not somewhere I really found myself coming back to. If this is your only option for Vietnamese it’s better than nothing, but there are better options at this price point.

Enjoyed dinner here during a weeknight with some friends - we were seated immediately. The pho & dumplings we ordered were tasty. Prices also seemed very reasonable! Will visit again.

There are not enough good quality Vietnamese restaurants in the burbs so I really wanted to like Nam Phuong Bistro, but the food was honestly pretty disappointing. My husband and I have been to the Nam Phuong in South Philly countless times, so we were expecting a similar authenticity and boldness of flavors. Unfortunately, the food and drinks simply did not deliver. My rice vermicelli dish with mixed proteins was a bit bland and the proteins were all overcooked. The pork was tough, the chicken breast was dry, and one of the shrimps still had the vein on, in addition to being overcooked. I also ordered the salted lemonade, which had an overwhelming artificial lemon flavor, so it was definitely not made with fresh lemons. My husband also noted that his Vietnamese iced coffee was just okay. For nearly $5 a drink, these were not worth it. On the upside, the service was wonderful, so it wasn’t all bad. If Nam Phuong Bistro were to unapologetically replicate the same flavors as their South Philly location rather than muting it down for mass appeal, I think they would be much more successful.

I enjoyed the Pho Deluxe and the Summer rolls on this cold Saturday afternoon. The broth in the Pho was excellent.

I have been to this place many many times and I found my favorite stable: sweet and sour soup (either shrimp, chicken, or veggie) with rice/noodles. In my most recent meal, I was especially impressed with the pineapple in the soup - I can almost guarantee with you that you won't find this juicy and sweet pineapple taste elsewhere! The new dessert on the menu - flan cake with either sugar or coffee + condense milk was also a hit! Their pork chop broken rice dish was alright, though I wish they actually included other toppings to add flavors to the protein and the rice. I am not a fan of the spring roll that much since the shrimps always tasted off to me.Service was quick. Our server was friendly. The price was reasonable!
Parking: Lots of public parking around. If you can't find street parking, you can try the garage which is free in the evening and on the weekends.

Great Bo lac lac beef, delicious fried dumplings, and summer roll. Friendly staff with a relaxed eating environment. Kid friendly as well.
Cool spot in the Ardmore area to snag some solid pho and spring rolls. Would definitely recommend people stop by if you're hunting for vietnamese food nearby.

Incredible food, service and vibe! I've been here by myself, with a coworker, and with my partner, and the experience has consistently been very enjoyable. The wait staff are quite attentive and welcoming throughout! Looking forward to coming back to try some more food options!The Vermicelli Shrimp is my personal favorite so far ^^
Vegetarian options: They have dedicated vegetarian sections in their menu, and open to modify many of their other dishes

Nam Phuong Bistro has good Vietnamese food and great service. I ordered the Pho deluxe and it was good. The broth was nice and the noodles were cooked nicely. The meat in the dish was good too. The staff was really friendly and the attention to customers was fantastic. The decor in the restaurant was nice and charming. Good place to eat. I would definitely come here to eat again.

I would give this place negative stars if I could. I ordered food here multiple times and thought it was very good. I never had a problem until tonight. I ordered the Salt and Pepper Squid.It wasn't browned at all. It was very chewy and tasted like ammonia. I called the restaurant and told them what happened and they told me that the chef said "that's the way it is." I hope I don't get sick. Do not order food from this restaurant
