NAM SO’N is a great place to get authentic Vietnamese dishes. They’re second on my list (use to be first) of restaurants to visit for Vietnamese food, Pho Bang Restaurant is first. Nam Son’s food is very consistent and they come at a great value (huge portions at a low cost), but Pho Bang triumphs them because they’re tastier and slightly cheaper. I like Nam Son’s grilled pork chops, but their bun and pho are not bad either.

Com Suon Bi (Grilled Pork Chop on White Rice) – $5.25

Pho Ca Vien (Combination Rice Noodles Beef Soup w. Fish Balls) – $5.50
