“ Food was absolutely delicious. Service was rather fast. Staff were friendly. The little outdoor area where they had set the tables was beautiful. We ordered the spring roll and the beef salad and both had lots of fresh herbs in there and were so fresh. ”
“ (This is probably closer to 4.5 stars to me.) Sao Nam's food serves dishes with outstanding flavors. It's also a very pretty restaurant that made me think of wine "caves" in Europe, with the colors and materials. And the staff is friendly and patient. But let me go back to the outstanding flavors! The appetizers (regular and fried spring rolls) and the entrees (beef pho, in my case) were amazing -- rich flavors, even with simple-seeming ingredients. I look forward to returning, although I will have difficulty ordering one of the other entrees I heard friends raving about when I know the pho is so excellent. ”
“ Located at tengkat tong shin, parking can be a hassle sometimes. The restaurant has a very warm feeling and the decor inside is quite classy. It is ashame that on my visit there's no mangosteen and prawn salad since it is not mangosteen season. Thankfully the prawn salad was a hit though I didn't fancy the mint in it. Their beef pho was good with the beef slices being cooked just right in the soup. When the beef came soaking in the soup, I was afraid that it might be overcooked. What surprised me was the lemongrass chicken noodle salad tasted really really delicious. Under all the noodles, there's a bunch if veggies to mix in with the noodle and chicken. Definitely quite a healthy meal option. ”
“ For a while I had been wanting to check this place out and I'm glad I finally did because it was impressively awesome. I am a huge fan of Vietnamese and this place delivers on it's fresh and vibrant cuisine. Everyone at our table was raving about how great their dish was and how equally tasty the cocktails were too! The fresh shrimp spring rolls were easily the best I have ever had, full of flavour and fresh herbs and veges with an amazing hoisin dipping sauce to pair. For my main dish I had my favorite Vietnamese dish 'bun' which is a concoction of vermicelli, salad veges, lemongrass chicken and a sweet and spicy dressing. The standout dish was the vegetarian claypot - mushrooms in a creamy herb sauce with rice - it was amazing! The restaurant itself is very cool with Vietnamese art adorning the walls, candle light, lots of greenery and floral arrangements. Staff were also fantastic and I love that they dress in traditional clothes. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of the menu. ”
“ This is my pick for the best Vietnamese in KL. It's location is not great and can be hard to get to and find but its just around the corner from Changkat Bukit Bintang. During rush hours it's really a pain to try to get here in a car so I recommend coming for their lunch specials or waiting until traffic eases up. The lunch deal that have is great. They picked five of their most popular dishes and make them available for RM 20 and they include a nice appetizer of two spring rolls and a fresh chicken salad. I come here for lunch if I'm ever near Chungkat at lunch time. For dinner there is a great full menu at very reasonable prices. You can't go wrong with their fresh prawn spring rolls. They are my favorite. I also really give props to the staff at Sao Nam. They are very helpful and able to deal with any special situations. A rare luxury on this quasi backpacker street. ”
