10/10. I've been to so many vietnamese restaurants around the world and this one is definitely in my all-time top 3! Delicious food, fast and handsome service and good prices!
I had the vegan pho and hot Vietnamese coffee for 17.40 €. The portion size for the pho was generous and the homemade seitan inside was tasty. The coffee was very delicious, the best coffee I’ve had in Germany so far - very strong and full of flavor (and of course sweet from the condensed milk!). The service was wonderful and the staff there is very kind. They also accept both cash and credit card which was convenient, since none of the other Vietnamese restaurants around take cards besides Nam that I could see.
Great lemongrass tofu! I did really enjoy it. The taste was delicate and tasty at the same time. We also ordered the lemongrass chicken and was also amazing. (I don’t eat meat outside home, but my husband love it!😁)
The place is perfect for lunch. Even if it’s a working day. The service was fast and super gentle. The price is also convenient. They have a midday’s MENU that is perfect.
They accept credit card and paying separated.
I like it!

Where to start?! This restaurant is a-ma-zing!!! The food is super! The people are sooo nice and friendly as well. Definitely going back the next time we are in Cologne! So much other dishes on the menu to try! An easy 5*!
Relaxing ambience, friendly service and really tasty (and authentic) Vietnamese. We had Pho Bo, Pho Ga, Salad and Goi Con (spring rolls). All were perfect.
Tasty food. We enjoyed the starters even more. The staff was rather unpleasant and the chairs were hard to sit on without a cushion. Good value for money. Food 5 stars.
Undisputed champion of Pho in Köln (possibly the whole NRW). Köln lacks no outstanding Vietnamese culinary experience or vegan Vietnamese gourmet. Here is the only place, however, where the whole experience is so extraordinarily yummy & genuinely authentic, that I can imagine myself back to South East Asia.
What makes Nam‘s pho absolutely shined is their noodle anf broth: they definitely cared about the broth’s authenticity while remaining vegan. Furthermore , they are the only restaurants I have visited so far who actually cared about the authenticity of the noodle. 99% of Vietnamese restaurants in Germany ignored it and sourced the same mechanical brand, which is too big and broad and rough mouthfeel compared with authentic Pho in Vietnam!
My only critique is the Tofu’s quality. But within the extreme dedication to serve Pho the way it is like at home, I would be more than happy to give them 6/5 stars.
Plus, the lady who served me has the prettiest smile and flawless skin, too! ☺️ She seems happy to be serving me the food. I would too if I were her.
I order an extra portion to take away. It is that awesome of a little place.
