Nam Giao Restaurant

We came in in the late afternoon and the restaurant was almost empty, not a good sign but we decided to try it out anyway.
This restaurant supposedly specializes in Central Vietnam dishes, strangely, I couldn't find the region's signature "bún bò Huế" in their menu.
So we went with "bánh bèo" (which is cold to touch when it's being served) and "mi Quảng" (wasn't as hot as I wanted and kinda small).
Needless to say, the foods weren't up with our expectations but that's the fun of trying out a new restaurant: Very seldom you find a new gem that you want to come back but most the time you wish you have gone to your favorite instead.
At least, the place is clean and service was fast.

We stopped here for dinner and ordered the yellow noodles, sticky rice dumplings, and one of the meat soups.
The outdoor atmosphere was awesome, the servers were nice, the food was tasty! They have various sauces as well that they bring out to your table.
Great experience

I recently dined at Năm Giao restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by their bánh beo.
It was not only delicious but also served piping hot, with the perfect combination of toppings.
The crispy pork skin and fried shallots added a delightful crunch that complemented the bánh beo exceptionally well. While the Bún Bò Huế was good, I felt it could benefit from a deeper flavor profile.
However, the highlight for me was the chili oil they offer—it was delicious, with a nutty undertone and just the right spice level. I appreciated the variety of options, including a cooling herbal drink, which added a unique touch to the dining experience.
The restaurant boasts a spacious layout with plenty of tables, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.
Overall, Năm Giao offers a delightful culinary journey with standout dishes and a comfortable ambiance.
