Reviews for Nam Phuong Jimmy Carter in Norcross, GA
I haven't eaten at this location since the restaurant was opened. The broken rice dish was okay. The ch? is cold and can taste... and feel from the refrigerator. Rice is nor warm at all. Read more
I was visiting from Virginia and this place hands down was the best Vietnamese food I’ve had at a restaurant. Wish we had one... in VA. The service was mediocre and expected…person at the register and servers don’t really talk much or go out of theirway to host, but honestly they got the food out in a timely manner and the delicious food make up for their service. Food wasfilled with flavor, their sauces for the items we got were super good, and their portions were pretty big. Read more
Great for family gatherings. Service can be a bit of a wait since I think they're short staffed but that's also the case with... many places nowadays. There are certain dishes that my family always gets. The 3 meat dish to make your own spring rolls. Itconsists of shrimp cakes, Vietnamese spam, and beef wrapped in grape leaves. There will be 2 sauces to go with this dish foryour custom made spring rolls- fish sauce and shrimp paste sauce, these sauces might be a bit strong to those who are notfamiliar with the taste. We love the caramelized fish in a clay pot here too. Sizzling beef with fried rice is also a great dishhere. Very flavorful. We got fried pancakes as appetizers. There are many great dishes to choose from here. Read more
Honestly, for a lot of Viet families who grew up in the Gwinnett area, this and Canton House are the staple places for large... Vietnamese gatherings. My family and friends have been going here for years and it’s one of the few places you can sit downand have authentic southern Vietnamese cuisine outside of Vietnam. Everyone is generally nice and the wait staff is attentive,but I can totally see how it might seem intimidating as someone who isn’t Vietnamese or familiar with the cuisine tounderstand each and every dish. I labeled all the dishes below so that should be helpful, but in general, the descriptions ofall the dishes are somewhat helpful and they certainly have a large variety of dishes for you to try. If you are ever wanting toget a taste of Vietnamese cuisine from the south, I would recommend trying this place. It has for sure withstood the test oftime and will continue to be a go to for my family gatherings. Read more
Let’s start with parking, this place has no parking and everyone park wherever they want. The restaurant is big and busy. We... luckily got sat down after signing in, but our food took a while to get ready. We don’t live in GA, we are vacationing andplanning to leave after breakfast here. We understand it’s a busy day and don’t mind waiting for a little bit. We orderedour food and was told to wait for 30 minutes, which is fine. However, we didn’t expect to wait for almost an hour later. If weknew, we could have went shopping and came back in 45 minutes. We finish our drinks and appetizers and trying to waste our timesitting there, but it was so long. The food came out after we told them we waited an hour. Our waiter was friendly and nice, buthe got embarrassed when my mother in law told them that we were waiting for a long time. I feel bad, but they should have comeand inform us if we gonna wait more than 30 minutes so we could have plan other things to do meanwhile waiting. Read more
This place is ridiculously good. I've been going there forever and never had a bad meal. Staff is super nice places generally... clean. And generally full of Vietnamese people Read more
The beef with Chinese broccoli was pretty good as was my wife's beef Pho soup. I was a little disappointed in my shredded pork... rolls. I was like... Where's the pork? Last time I ordered rolls I got shrimp... Those shrimp were sliced in half making it looklike you were getting 4 shrimp instead of 2, that's the last time I will ever order the rolls, it's mostly rice noodles & wrapwith mint leaves & a tiny portion of meat. I still enjoy the food so I'll go back. Read more
The shaken beef was incredible. Normally I avoid beef at more casual restaurants (especially ones that chop up their beef)... because most places manage to dry the hell out of it and compensate by tossing it in sauce. Despite being tossed in sauce, youcan tell the shaken beef was incredibly juicy and tender. Read more
