Little secret: my parents used to own the place where this restaurant is located 15 years ago. They sold it, but they will always try the new place that opens there just for the kick of it. And when Nam Quan opened, it was good. Their broth can still be smelled in the street. You can smell the cinnamon, star anise, cloves a little bit more roasted ginger than other places. Ambiance-wise, exactly as you think it is, and exactly the way I like my Vietnamese joint to be. A bit sketchy.
I think I went in an off-day because it was really average. The broth was diluted, not a bad thing, you always need to re-balance your broth if needed, but it wasn't cooked all through. Needed 30 minutes to an hour on the fire.Well that's a screw up. Props for having Sawtooth coriander tho, that stuff is expensive, and good.
