I love food, and everything that goes into preparing a meal to be shared with family, relatives, and friends. Enjoying a meal with a glass of wine brings back those dearest memories of my childhood spent moving and traveling through Vietnam, Laos & Thailand.

Co Nam, brings comfort Vietnamese food and the occasional twists to a set that are the bits and pieces of my childhood memories. Cá Kho Tộ (Caramelized Basa Fish Clay-pot), and Thịt Kho (Braised Pork Belly) are a couple of dishes that I often cook with my mother over an open hearth; but in retrospect, I enjoyed eating a lot more.

On behalf of my staff, we look forward to seeing you and your family. We hope you enjoy the food, drinks, and atmosphere as much as we enjoyed putting them together.

Sincerely,
Trung D. Nguyen

"Went in for the Valentine's Day prix fixe menu and was impressed. The sweet and sour soup was a notable appetizer - huge (more than enough for an entree for two), big chunks of fresh white fish, great fresh pineapple flavor. We both got vermicelli bowls (one pork, one chicken) and those were great as well. Certainly a step up from the $7.50 corner Vietnamese vermicelli, but not overly fancy and portions were still huge. Free glasses of champagne made the night even better. Only knock is that service was particularly slow (we were there for almost 2 hours) but it is a new restaurant and they were completely filled; the server was very nice and informative."

"This restaurant has a lot of potential. The ambience is great and the food is good. However, I would suggest that they work on hiring more experienced wait staff. Our experience was less than optimal from that perspective. Our waiter lacked the experience and skills to appropriately serve a large party. He struggled to communicate effectively with the group and was slow to respond to drink requests. We also had several food items that were late and he did not proactively communicate about those issues either. One person got her appetizer well after her entree was delivered and a few others got their entrees well after most of the table was finished eating. In addition, he did not bus the table efficiently."
