Nam Wah Chinese Vietnamese

Best Vietnamese ever, the chicken curry bowl and the com tam dac biet, excellent. Jason is one of the best to explain and recommend any vietnamese dish. We are regulars, try it if you haven’t!

Having read the reviews it was only natural we (my husband n I) wanted to check it out and fortunately we weren’t disappointed at all. The place and ambience is simple, the food although is a different story — a fantastic one, if I may say. We started out with hot tea and loved every bit of it, needless to say it was consumed to the last drop. My husband ordered a Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy beef soup and he liked it (and that is saying something as he’s usually difficult to please esp. soups cos he’s usually very critical about them!). It wasn’t as spicy as he would have liked it but it was still one of the best hue soups he’s had. I ordered a combination platter of General Tso Chicken with veg. Fried rice and pork shrimp egg roll. I had asked the chicken to be spicy which it wasn’t but that’s forgivable owing to the overall lovely flavours. The food took a while to come and hence I’m giving just 4 stars. Overall it’s a good place to eat Vietnamese fare and yes not that heavy on the pocket too, it’ll surely be on my list of regular visits.

This place is great. It’s probably my favorite Asian restaurant in this area. I usually order the Kung Pao chicken. The meal comes either alone or with a combo, which is a eggroll and rice. Fried rice and white rice (i believe) are the choices when it comes to rice.
The chicken was was very fresh and easy to bite into and was hot. Not dried out or lukewarm. The dish could of been a little more spicy.
The staff is nice and friendly. They give out samples of homemade sauces as well as your standard packet sauces and supply you with silverware if you ordered «to go».
They are closed in Monday which is unusual for most businesses.

Let’s start with the restrooms. Extremely dirty. Learned long ago that if this area is not kept clean the kitchen is likely to be the same. My bah me was good. But my wife ordered egg rolls. These were the same as the microwave ones from the grocery. Fried rice was below par. The sweet & sour sauce was just sweet and it was thickening from being too old. Vietnam food very good but Chinese food was mediocre. All the customers were younger men. No women. No lunch rush. If desperate for Vietnamese food stop otherwise eat elsewhere.

I have since returned to Nam Wah twice since my initial review. Tried the Phở, incredible; the Ban Mi, extraordinary; and Com Tam Dac Biet (grilled pork chop, shredded pork, and steamed omelet), best pork chop I have ever eaten.
If you’re not familiar with Vietnamese Cuisine, no worries. David will guide you in the direction you should go. Try this place out.

Best food I’ve had in a long time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Try the Vietnamese dishes, you will not be disappointed! I’ll be back again and again.

Authentic, genuine phở to wash away my tears after being at the Browns gut wrenching loss on the blocked FG turned into touchdown — with no time. So after a night of drunken debauchery we came here. I live in NJ — and came out for the MNF game (don’t ask me why) and this phở made up for years of pain and suffering as a Browns fan (well atleast for a few minutes). Great, attentive service — fresh hot food, and you can tell it’s the real deal. In Nj there’s a ton of Vietnamese places and phở, and they’re good — but they’re a chain and this place has some kicking real good phở. Come here, especially if you’re a Browns fan. It will stop some tears from rolling down your cheeks.

I would give 6 stars if it was available.
No joke, hands down best phở I’ve had.
Steak was great quality, some like the thin slices, these were thicker and juicier.
Endless amounts of meatball.
Soup was clean not all MSG like other places.
Too bad I live in NJ

Decent Vietnamese restaurant on the West side of town. The location is nothing special, as it’s located in a strip mall, but the inside is clean, spacious and nicely decorated. There is a long bar inside which is full service, and on the Sunday brunch hour that I went, the service was great at the bar. They even had large tvs with the Browns game playing to boot.
They didn’t have much in the way of beverage options… No Asian fruit juices or smoothies but their menu is pretty expansive since they have both Vietnamese and American style Chinese dishes. We went for the Vietnamese option and tried the grilled pork summer rolls (delicious and a very generous size!) as well as a bowl each of the phở and bun bo hue. The soups broths are less complex that others I’ve had, and I felt like the phở had that msg aftertaste but other than that they were fine. Not my favorite in the Cleveland area, but it would certainly satisfy my craving if I was in the Parma area
All in all given my first experience here, it wouldn’t be my first choice for Vietnamese but I’d certainly be interested to try some other stuff on their menu.

Used to come here all the time with my family as a kid. It wasn’t very good, but Vietnamese options were limited back in the 90’s. Now under new ownership, their food has improved a lot (focusing more on authentic food over Chinese takeout), and it’s now one of the top dogs in the Land for Viet food in my book.
I can’t find anything I didn’t like here. The salt and pepper squid. The bun Thit nuong. The goi cuon. The hu tieu. The phở might be my new favorite in Cleveland. No really, it is on point. Their banh mi was alright I guess.
Place is always clean. Service on point.
What else can I say? Nam Wah is my jam (Wah).

This place has, hands down, the best phở king phở in the area. I can’t wait to go back and eat it again!
I’m also a big fan of their Vietnamese coffee.

Been coming here for several years (lunchtime) and the restaurant recently changed hands. The new owners seem to be focusing more on the Vietnamese side of their menu and boy does it show! The Chinese side of the menu is pretty good (always a fan of their General Tso’s chicken), but the emphasis on the Vietnamese cuisine is where they really shine now.
On this recent trip I tried bot a Banh Mi sandwich and a specialty dish, the Bo Luc Lac. The Banh Mi sandwich was served on a perfect roll that was moist on the inside and firm on the outside. The grilled pork mixed perfectly with the fresh veggies making for an excellent start to the meal.
On to the main dish! The Bo Luc Lac is a plate filled high with tender beef served with more fresh vegetables and fried rice. This was some of the most tender meat I’ve ever had, very lean and flavorful… they must have marinated the heck out of it, it was so delicious! The marinade /​sauce was unique… not really teriyaki but something close… it was light and not syrupy. The fresh veggies and fried rice were a perfect accompaniment to the meal.
I will be back, now that I’ve discovered this great side of an «old friend».

Wow.
It had been about 5 or 6 years since we last ate at Nam Wah and what a difference new ownership has made. Today we got take out, and it was fantastic.
My wife and I had the phở with meatballs, shrimp and pork summer rolls, pork lo mein, and lunch combo with General Tso’s.
The phở was out of this world good. Fresh add ins included, along with sauces. Broth was outstanding, and meatballs were delicious. Ditto for the summer rolls — large, fresh and tasty. Wife’s Gen Tso’s was cooked perfectly and had both white and dark meat. The pork in the Lo mein was actually really tender, instead of crispy/​chewy, and very well done.
Overall, will definitely be eating in or taking out from there again — I can almost smell the fragrant phở already.

Every now and then I enjoy going out to eat for Chinese/​Vietnamese food, and Nam Wah is becoming a favorite. If it was closer to home I would order my take out from here as well. Food is delicious and service is great, everyone is very friendly and always checking back. The crab Rangoon is the best! Not sure how they do it, but it’s 90% less greasy then any other place I have ordered it, must try!

I love this place. I decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. I didn’t have time to stay and eat but I picked up to go. The Phở is even great to go.

Delightful it had been years since we had visited and we were very pleasantly surprised.
David our wait person was great he even explained a dish my wife experimented with and even our little granddaughter was pleased.
Prices are reasonable the restaurant is clean and bright

tried Nam Wah for dinner on Saturday night and we enjoyed it.
Neither of us had ever had Vietnamese food and to be honest, we really didn’t last night either. Well, except for the pork and shrimp summer rolls (Goi Cuon) i bought as an appetizer and it was very good.
We also shared some crab rangoon (as we do). Danielle had the chicken chow mein and I had Szechuan beef w/​a cup of wonton soup. the soup was delicious and thinking of it now makes me want some more. the crab rangoon was some of the best i’ve had. i was surprised at how non-​greasy it was compared to anywhere else i’ve gotten it.
Danielle enjoyed her CCM and I thought my Szechuan beef was very good but maybe a little sweet.
our service was good. Natalie checked in often to make sure we had all we needed.
We’re eager to return and try something new. I’ve always wanted a Banh Mi sandwich and a bowl of Phở so one or both of those is on the agenda next time.

The food was excellent (we had both the Chinese and the Vietnamese)!
The staff is friendly and helpful. The new owners have done an incredible job. The restaurant is updated and fresh. They have all the original Chinese dishes as well as the new Vietnamese dishes. All are yummy, freshly prepared and nicely presented.
Highly recommended!

Do not let the strip mall location the food and service at this hidden gem are nothing short of spectacular ! The prices vs quality and quantity of food are ridiculously low. We tried the chicken and pork bhan mi with egg on servers recommendation, the bread was perfectly toasty and chewy vegetables crisp and pickled to perfection and the meat no words ! In short everything it should be but elevated by the egg. The phở was easily the best we had in area I did the chicken and hubby tried some amazing shrimp pork rice and egg noodle concoction. We also sampled summer rolls which came with this yummy sauce and the cabbage chicken salad. This place is a must try !

I’m lovin’ Nam Wah. I hadn’t been here in years and I can’t recall why. On a whim, my beau and I decided to try it a few months ago and we were pleasantly surprised.
The old Nam Wah of years past is no longer. They’ve done some updates so it isn’t nearly so dark inside. There is a decent sized bar and they have 3 large fancy flat-​screen TVs for those of you who cannot dine without distraction.
This is a large space and if you want to do a big family gathering or party, this would be a great place to do it. Maybe even an UYE!
The server (I think there are only 1 – 2 people who typically serve here) is always great and nice. They’re always accommodating if you need to make substitutions, which I appreciate.
The Phở is pretty good! I love that I can get good Phở in Berea and don’t have to drive to Minh-​anh if I don’t have to. My mom says the fried rice is delicious. The eggrolls are pretty good too. Typically Jason W yells at me because I don’t post pictures, but honestly, the food arrives and it is so good I eat it quickly before I even think about taking a pic.
Good food, nice service. It is a good place for take out or dine-​in.
Go check out Nam Wah!
