" I will always recommend Nam Vang for its Hu Tieu Nam Vang. It is one of the few places that gets its flavors right. I usually have theirs with an addition of extra meatballs on the side. The noodle portion is just right, but I wouldn't mind larger servings! The environment is casual and doesn't flaunt unnecessary decor. Cash only is a hassle but worth it for the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nam Vang is a hidden gem for authentic Cambodian flavors. The broth is rich and leaves a nostalgic feeling. However, the service could be better; it felt a little disconnected. Pricing seems fair considering the authentic flavors you receive. I love coming back here, just wish for a little more attentiveness from the service staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nam Vang might not shine in the aesthetics department, but the flavors more than make up for it! The exotic taste paired with their special broth is unforgettable. Please be warned, don't expect up-to-par customer service. The food comes quickly, but drinks might take a while. However, I firmly believe the food steals the spotlight here! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is casual and no-frills but makes for a comforting dining experience. The highlight is the special Hu Tieu, packed with authentic flavors. It’s wrapped in culture! Service, however, could improve as there were delays during peak hours. Still a good spot for an authentic meal if you can overlook the slow service. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place holds a special spot in my heart. The flavors are as authentic as you can get outside of Cambodia. I highly recommend ordering the Hu Tieu Nam Vang with the side of meatballs. It's a comforting dish that warms you up! That said, the restaurant is clearly a no-frills spot. The decor is simple, and some tables might not be as clean as they could be. But honestly, the food more than makes up for it. I just wish they would accept cards! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy coming to this restaurant for their quick service and comforting noodle soups. The combination of pork and shrimp is delicious. However, I've noticed the portions seem to be getting smaller over the years, which is disappointing. The atmosphere is okay, nothing too fancy but perfect for a casual meal. I do miss the old flavors and hope they can maintain their quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nam Vang is a true gem if you are seeking an authentic dining experience. The special Cambodian noodle soup is always my choice. I sometimes find it oily, but the flavors are fantastic. The service staff can be a bit gruff, which is expected for these types of restaurants, and it lacks the charm of fine dining. Overall, a great spot for comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)
