Nam Phuong Jimmy Carter - Norcross

Great for family gatherings. Service can be a bit of a wait since I think they're short staffed but that's also the case with many places nowadays. There are certain dishes that my family always gets. The 3 meat dish to make your own spring rolls. It consists of shrimp cakes, Vietnamese spam, and beef wrapped in grape leaves. There will be 2 sauces to go with this dish for your custom made spring rolls- fish sauce and shrimp paste sauce, these sauces might be a bit strong to those who are not familiar with the taste. We love the caramelized fish in a clay pot here too. Sizzling beef with fried rice is also a great dish here. Very flavorful. We got fried pancakes as appetizers. There are many great dishes to choose from here.

Ordered bún riêu. There’s no riêu. Just some meatballs that looked like riêu. Then I came home and had a violent stomachache. This is usually due to my reaction to MSG.Years ago we went to Nam Phương on Buford hwy. There was a dead roach in 1 of our dinners. We never went back there again.Thought this location would be better. Hmm no. Between ROACHES and MSG, no more Nam Phương for us.

Honestly, for a lot of Viet families who grew up in the Gwinnett area, this and Canton House are the staple places for large Vietnamese gatherings. My family and friends have been going here for years and it’s one of the few places you can sit down and have authentic southern Vietnamese cuisine outside of Vietnam. Everyone is generally nice and the wait staff is attentive, but I can totally see how it might seem intimidating as someone who isn’t Vietnamese or familiar with the cuisine to understand each and every dish. I labeled all the dishes below so that should be helpful, but in general, the descriptions of all the dishes are somewhat helpful and they certainly have a large variety of dishes for you to try. If you are ever wanting to get a taste of Vietnamese cuisine from the south, I would recommend trying this place. It has for sure withstood the test of time and will continue to be a go to for my family gatherings.

One of the best and most consistent Vietnamese food in Atlanta!

If you enjoy traditional Vietnamese cusine, this is the place for you. The pandemic has really hurt the resturant industry. Pleasae help by eating out once a week
