Came with my family and we really enjoyed our time. We don’t care much for service/atmosphere mucu but if you do, the service is fine. Waiters will come by when they have time to check in and maybe when you call them. The restaurant definitely isn’t the cleanest. The floors are sticky and there is some food from previous customers. The tables are wiped down and I’m overall comfortable eating there.
THE FOOD 10/10 – We ordered banh beo, banh bot loc, cha hue, banh ram it, cha oc, and got the salted kumquat juice. We loved all of the food. The nuoc mam is definitely sweet but that’s how my family likes it. The kumquat juice is so so good, I want to learn how to make my own salted kumquat preserve. Would definitely come again for the food we tried today.

Service at Nam Giao is pretty basic. The waitresses were quick and accurate but that’s really it. Don’t expect a nice greeting or even a smile throughout your time there.
The atmosphere is definitely below par. The restaurant honestly looks like it’s on its last legs. Dirty floors and walls, the table we had was quite sticky, and the cash register looked like it was from another century. The menus were also printed on regular paper and was full of stains.
Card payments are accepted on orders of $10 or higher.
The food can honestly be a hit or miss. We were able to sample many of the items in the menu.
Ban Beo Chen – 5/5! These mini rice pancakes are the signature dish of this restaurant. Well seasoned, affordable, and delicious!
Banh Nam – 4/5. The pork and shrimp rice cakes are wrapped in banana leaves and are fragrant and delicious. The only downside is the cake itself being quite thin.
Banh Hoi Tom Nuong – 2/5. We very much regret ordering this dish. The rice vermicelli is basic, something that you can easily buy fresh at any Asian market. The shrimps were simply god awful. They were so overcooked that they had the texture of a stale twizzler. DO NOT recommend.
Com Hen – 4/5. The rice with baby clams was very well executed. Full of flavor and the clam broth was delicious!
Bun Bo Hue – 3/5. Just the typical bun bo hue found at most Viet restaurants. Considering all the competition in Chinatown, we’ve definitely had better elsewhere. This dish was borderline average.
Banh Canh Tom Cua – 2/5. The Vietnamese Udon with crab and shrimp meat was NOT good. It was bland and had a weird texture. If anyone wants authentic Vietnamese Udon, your money is better spent at “Banh Canh Tom Cua” on Bellaire and Cook. Their execution of the dish is SO MUCH better.
To end it all, we found an insect in our water glass We’re guessing it came from the ice tray by the cash register. While this wasn’t the worst thing that could happen, imagine the cleanliness of the kitchen if there are bugs flying all over the ice
Nam Giao is very well known in the Viet community. While some of the items were good, it is clear that this restaurant has lowered their standards recently. This has made our whole experience quite disappointing.

Great authentic Vietnamese food. The server is super friendly and helpful to guide you on what to order or explain or recommend the dishes. I come here at least once a week. I highly recommend the Bahn Xeo and the small plates are Bahn Beo, and the Vietnamese coffee is a must!!!

Stopped here twice for lunch. Got the Cha Hue (sausage), Banh Beo Chen (steamed rice pancakes), Banh Canh Tom Cua (udon soup with crabmeat and shrimp), and Nuoc Tac Muoi (salted kumquat juice).
The two appetizers were fine. I would probably try something different next time. The soup was great and a generous portion. I loved the salted kumquat juice. It was salty and sweet, probably great to drink in the summer.
Prices were good.
Wish I had tried the clam salad.

This is my third time coming here and this is the spot I take my friends and family if they want authentic Vietnamese food.
I’ve ordered the following:
Banh Beo
Banh Bot Loc La
Bam Ram It
Banh Qual Vac
Ban Xeo Don Tan
Nem Nuong
Even though there are so many Vietnamese restaurants in the Houston area, there’s not a lot of spots that serve Bahn Beo. However, this is Nam Giao’s specialty and honestly, all the other dishes I had here were fantastic too! I love how the Bahn Beo has both chewy/soft texture from the steamed rice cake as well as crunchy textures from the toppings.
As for the interior, there’s a good number of seats and the service is relatively fast. If you’re looking for Vietnamese food other than your usual pho/banh mi, give Nam Giao a try!

legit Bánh Bèo.
we weren’t super hungry so we got the #5 combo platter 2 with sausage. Bèo Nậm Lọc Chả Huế
service was short but efficient. food came out quickly.
decent amount of parking in the lot in front.

We had a few dishes of Vietnamese cuisine from Hue, an ancient royal city of Vietnam. The dishes were tasty and yum. Highly recommended.

We went to Nam Giao to try there Vietnamese style brunch/dim sum. It was our first time to try this and it didn’t let us down. We ordered the combo platter to try a bit of everything and all tasted good. Especially the Banh Ram It – Mochi on Crispy Mochi. It tasted quite yummy and the mixed layers of texture were really good and fun to eat. Also really like the baby clam salad with rice, it was full of flavors and aroma, also refreshing.

Visited because of a Facebook video. Did not disappoint. We tried many new-to-us foods. If ordering a large number of appetizers, I recommend ordering as you go, everything is served fresh and hot but expect that it will cool down. We loved the jasmine tea, glass dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup, and sampler #5!

We (family of 4) were almost a victim of double tipping. I know our bill was about $58.* total. When I got the credit card receipt, I was about to add tip but noticed that the Sub total amount on receipt was already $67.*. So not only did they added a tip automatically, the way the receipt was designed and if a person didn’t paid attention enough, I would of entered an additional tip. Very deceiptful to me so they have a lost a customer. Please double check your itemized receipt against the credit card receipt.
