Called in for a pickup order for 25 nem nuong. They said it would be ready at 1pm but we ended up getting to the shop at 1:30pm. Usually with pickup orders we run in and grab the food, pay, then head out. In this case we were on a time crunch. When we got to the shop there was a line outside but no one at the cash register. Well it's been 30 minutes since they said our order should be ready so I thought they would have it out in time. I rang the bell and I just heard a woman yell "WAIT!" in Vietnamese from the kitchen. Ok fine, waited another 10minutes and no one came out still. Decided to go ring the bell again, "WAIT!" again. Keep in mind there's still a long line outside the shop and everyone was really irritable. Finally after 20 minutes a lady comes out and we told her we were there for a pickup order. She very visibly gave us attitude and brought the food out, charged us, then left our food behind the counter and walked back to the kitchen again??? She didn't even bother to give us our food we paid for so we had to walk around the counter and grab it ourselves... On top of that there was another customer behind us waiting for a pickup order that should have been ready and she just ignored him and went to the back anyways. At this point we were really upset with our experience and just wanted to get out of there but didn't realize they only gave us 20 spring rolls, but they charged us for 25 (the extra 5 spring rolls were ~$9 extra). We were on a time crunch so we just decided to cut our losses since we were already super annoyed. They called us later and told us they gave us the wrong order and asked us to come back and pick up the right order. We asked if they can just refund us for the extra 5 spring rolls but they refused. We decided not to go back and pick up the correct order because we just really did not want to deal with them anymore. TLDR: they made us wait an extra 50 minutes than they told us our order would be ready, gave us attitude the whole time, and gave us the wrong order Maybe don't give your customers attitude so when you admit you made a mistake you don't look even stupider? Just go to Brodard for spring rolls... read more

I really wanted to like this place--anything to avoid the craziness that is Brodard! Unfortunately, though the rolls themselves were good, the dipping sauces sucked--way too salty yet otherwise flavorless, and, oddly, kind of stringy/mucus-y in texture. In this case, quality trumps convenience and I'd still prefer to brave the masses at Brodard rather than settle for a mediocre knockoff. read more

I like this place. Fast service and decent price. One tray of 20 rolls is all we need to be satisfied. They even give us some Thai chiles which kicks it up another notch. Come with 2 people, because parking is a bitch. read more

I would give 5 stars if the owner consider make a label sticker ** remove plastic wrap before eat** It's will be easier and less dangerous for kid to eat ( also adult) we accidentally didn't realized there was a wrap a round the rolls . Owner please do so otherwise you will get sue . Thanks . read more

Reviewing their nem rolls and their garlic fries. The rolls are so damn yummy and the sauce is always hot when you order. Love it. Been here close to ten times already. If you go make sure you get the garlic fries. Great value at $2.75. The girlfriend and I always share one and its more than enough. :) Will be back soon when I feel like I can splurge again. XD read more

Since you probably ordered something at 7 Leaves next door, you might as well pick up some of these BBQ rolls! Very simple and tasty rolls with pork, lettuce, crunch, with dip/hot sauce on the side. Make sure to remove the thin layer of plastic before eating each roll. At $1.50/each, grab 3 to eat now and 3 for later! read more

They seriously need a course in basic customer service. Pre-order 2 days before for a pick up. Day of, I arrived and the party tray was not ready. Didn't acknowledged the fact just told me the amount due and asked me to pay. Told me to wait 15 minutes. We said no way, asked for a refund because don't trust that they can make it in 15, highly likely they gave our tray to someone else! read more

Great place for spring rolls. The fries are also worth getting. Just wish the parking situation was better.

Before I used to go here a lot because one of my client shop is in this plaza. So whenever, I stopped by I would get some rolls from here. They used to have a minimum of 3 rolls, doesn't matter what kind you get. Then last month, the girl say I need to order at least 4 rolls. Which it's still okay. Because you can still mix the roll types. Today the guy cashier wouldn't let me order 4 rolls. 2 different kind. He say I need to order 3 rolls same flavor. But I only want 3 rolls (2 flavors). But I remembered last month they say 4 rolls is minimum now. Today he say minimum is 3 rolls of the same flavors. Too strict. I had to leave. Hope they let people buy any rolls like before without being so strict. read more

Absolutely love their shrimp and pork spring rolls. It's a shame that parking is next to Impossible due to the very tiny lot, but a short walk from the main parking lot next over is still worth getting their spring rolls. read more

Horrible... We ordered a tray of nem cuon 3 days in advance, knowing that's it's going to be busy during the weekend. We called 2 hrs before pick up time to make sure they have it ready since that plaza has little to no parking at all... When we got there, nothing was ready. She told me she was sorry, and I have to wait another 45 mins. I said go ahead and cancel my order. And they can bet on that was my last time there too!! read more

love this place because theres nothing else like it around my area! their nem nuong rolls are always delicious and i have yet to find somethign wrong with them. on top of this, they have other rolls like spring rolls, etc. and combos to go with their rolls (i believe they still have a combo that is around 6 dollars that comes with rolls, an order of fries, and a drink with unlimited refills). i love the concept that youre able to call ahead and place your order, then come by and pick it up. this is so important since if you come there to order, you would have to wait a few minutes for them to make your rolls since everything is made to order i believe. the fries are so delicious as well, so crispy and golden: definitely worth the wait to order. parking is in a plaza that is crowded with multiple other popular shops. sometimes it could be difficult to find a spot, but you can easily drive to the neighborhood righ behind this place and park on the street and walk over. notes -- for your card purchases, there is a minimum and i think the minimum might be 10 dollars (so a few rolls wouldn't be enough, i ordered a combo and had to get some extra stuff before using my card since there was no ATM and i had no cash either). also, not that im against this or that it bothers me, but there are a significant amount of homeless people that hang around the area which could cause bother to some. definitely recommend, this is a great place for a quick bite or to grab some food to pack for work or on your break. delicious and will continue to recommend this place as i dont see it ever declining in stars. read more

Omg i found my favorite place for nem. Just move down the street from this place and thought i should check them out. Didnt expect much when walking because its bolsa and i barely see any places that are clean and have good customer. To my suprise, it was a pleasure to visit them today. Service was extreme friendly and efficient despite its Sunday and i kinda feel that they are busy. Now about the food, its so good, i prefer them over Broadard bc the quality and the top notch service!! read more

Hi Everyone! I bought Nem Nuong Cuon (grilled pork sausage spring roll) here before and used to like this place. However I was very disappointed this time. I ordered 8 spring rolls for to-go. We brought it home and ate right away. The quality was so bad because they used old grilled pork sausage (very dry, no juicy, no meat taste, no good smell from the grilled sausage), which may be the leftover from the day before and the crunchy fried stick inside was soggy and the lettuce came with it was not fresh. Re-using the OLD food is not acceptable. I normally don't want to waste food when it just tastes okay. But this time, I had to throw them away because of very bad taste of the "nem nuong". read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Honestly it's just as good as the other overhyped place! I love that there is a combo that comes with 2 rolls, bomb garlic fries & a drink ! you can't beat that! Only downside is the parking. Either go early or go to their other location ! :) I love that they wrap the rolls individually so the rice paper doesn't get hard. Please look at your food before you eat it! If you do eat it, it's nobody's fault but yourself plz lmao! read more

Doesn't accept card payments under 10 dollars...What is this 1995? Bad location with No parking. Food is good tho and comes out quick.

Broadard should watch out for this competitor! Their nem nuong cuon is legit and I actually like their sauce more than broadard! :) and their pricing is also really good compare to broadard! They also do catering as well so if you need to order a lot for a party, i would recommend to consider this business over broadard read more

I heard through the grapevine that someone stole Brodard's recipe, improved it, and opened up a new place of their own. And that, supposedly, this place is it. Being a huge Brodard fan, I knew I had to try it out. VERDICT: Not bad. I think out of all the other Brodard competitors out there, this place comes really close. -- SAUCE (4/5): Brodard still has the upper hand with regards to sauce (because it's a bit thicker and meatier--yes, that's what she said), but NEM's sauce has a lot of beefy flavor, and doesn't really disappoint. -- SPRING ROLL (5/5): In all honesty, however, I think NEM's spring rolls taste as good as, or maybe even better than Brodard's. The rolls usually come out pretty warm when I order them here, and everything is fresh and delicious. They are also cheaper by about $.50 or so (which adds up to a lot if you order a lot of rolls). TIP: The rolls come individually wrapped in saran wrap here to preserve their integrity, so make sure to unwrap before you bite into it! My dad didn't, and got a mouthful of plastic, haha. -- AMBIANCE (5/5...ish): Unlike Brodard, NEM is rather small, so there are only two tables there available for dining in. But I actually like that. Service here is fast: you order, you grab, you go. And even though I'm sure they freshly roll their spring rolls, I always receive my food faster here than at Brodard, when I order to-go. They also offer the pork by itself, in case you just want to roll them up yourselves at home. OVERALL (5/5): Call me a hipster or a contrarian, but I actually really like NEM, and support them as a competitor to Brodard. Sauce might not measure up completely, but the beefy flavor doesn't disappoint, and their spring rolls are just as good, if not better. And cheaper! Mostly a small to-go place, so don't expect to dine in with a large party. Come here if you want to sidestep the wait at Brodard. You can also grab some 7 Leaves or bomb Vietnamese dessert at the stores next door. read more

The egg rolls here are pretty good but the pork spring rolls are AMAZING! They are super fresh and will leave you craving them weeks later.

if you like Brodard nam nuong, you must try this place!! 1.50 a roll and you can order how every many you want!!! (i think this place is better then Brodard) read more

See all

Better than Brodard and cheap pretty much sums up what this place is. Their peanut sauce is the best I've personally had and their crab sauce is better than Brodard's. The sauces are served nice and hot, just like it should be. You can't go wrong with $1.50 spring rolls. My only gripe is the parking. Good luck on Sunday afternoons. read more

Horrible service!!! This morning we came in to pick up our pre-ordered food and they were late. We waited a bit and still nothing, but then to top it off the girl at the register said "if you can't wait then don't order here next time". WE WON'T! This is no way to serve your customer. read more

This was my second time trying to eat here . The first time was really good with nem nuong , bò bía and salamari , i was going to give 4 stars for the food here. But the next day i was craving for bò bia so my bf and me called and order 4 boxes of bò bía to go . And this time the taste was good too and everything will be ok if this night ( i meant now ) me and my bf is having FOOD POISONED for a WHOLE NIGHT :(( .... i'm keeping vomitting and stomach upset untill now :((....my bf is same as me ....we didnt eat anything just bò bía from here ... we cant sleep :((....i give 1 star because of food poison ... for the taste is 4 star... .... maybe i wouldnt eat food from here anymore...so scared to be food poisoned again hjxhjx =.=... read more

yay for having viet friends who know all the good food spots :3 brodard was closed so we came here instead, turned out to be an awesome alternative. it's just a little inconvenient that it's only to-go but that also means not having to deal with all the inconveniences of a time-consuming sit-down meal so i'm not complaining! in summary, if you like brodard's nem nuong rolls, try nem!! read more

A perfect spot if you're looking for a quick bite! I compare their nem nuong to Brodards but dare I say...better?! Nem Nuong (Sprint roll wrapped w/pork meatballs) - 5 stars Meat was very flavorful and each roll only cost about $1.50. The egg roll wrapped inside gives it a nice crunch. I would definitely get these! I Sauce - 5 stars Sweet, flavorful and they don't skimp. Order from the front counter and wait outside. The shop is TINY with barely any sitting room so you're better off ordering To Go. Prices reasonable and rolls rock, GO! Parking sucks but you can get lucky. read more

It's not as good as Brodard, but it's pretty darn good and cheaper. The service is great and the food came out really fast. I had the nem rolls and the spring rolls. Both were good and filling but the dipping sauce was too sweet. I have to try the chicken wings the next time. Parking can be a nightmare because the parking lot is so tiny. read more

Craved for spring rolls and decide to give this place a try. Totally regret it :( summer roll tasted awful, shrimp and pork spring roll meat and veggie greens were SOO dry it was hard to chew, also got the nem roll which was OK but the rice paper was dry and tough to chew . First and last time here. GROSS. read more

hi I tried everything here and gotta say it's delicious and awesome service. you can't go wrong with the price, their service is really fast. I love food here definitely recommend it to everyone!! read more

Their rolls are the closest thing to Brodard's rolls. There's never a long wait which is a plus. It's getting better and better each time. I come here at least twice a week and the guy ( I think he's the owner) is super nice and friendly. read more

Personally like better than Brodards - plus no wait when I went ( late afternoon). Tiny store but the rolls were thumbs up. Had the Nem Nuong and summer roll... I'm partial to the Nem but both were good read more

I was used to going to Brodard's for Spring Rolls, but a dear friend recommended NEM down the street. I absolutely love love love! Their Nem Noung and BBQ Shrimp Rolls are my favorite! Great for parties too! 20 Rolls for $27 I think! read more

Ordered the spring roll and nem nuong. Nem nuong was pretty good. However, the spring rolls were not fresh at all. Tasted a little old and the shrimp had a strong fishy smell, I took a bite and had to take out all of the shrimp from the rest of the rolls. read more

It's is definitely 2nd best for Pork Spring Rolls (Nem Nuong Cuon)! My first choice would always be Brodard. I usually would order here for my parties because it's cheaper and guest can never tell the difference between them and Brodard. Their sauce is a bit more greasy than Brodard; that's my only complaint. read more

Service was good but the meat was paper thin. I couldn't even taste the meat. For $1.50 per roll, I'd rather go to Dat Thanh. Their meat taste better. Won't be back again read more

The nem rolls r delicious & the sauce come with rolls r yummy too. It's great place to get your appetizers to celebrates birthday & special occassion for your families & friends to enjoyed. read more

Never go here. Really bad service. I called 2 hours ahead to put in my order but when I got there and checked on my order...they told that it would be ready in 15 minutes. I asked them if they are sure because it was for a baby shower. I came back 15 minutes later and the food was still not ready. that was when i realized that they never even made the food. I had to wait another hour for my order. There were 2 other customers that experienced the same treatment. Don't waste your time going here. Brodard taste so much better and you would never experience anything like this. read more

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Two days in a roll wasted gas driving to find out out food. What kind of food service place that CONSTANTLY out of food. Despite their food is good but all they had were the rolls. No chicken wings, calamari, popcorn chicken....just French fries. BOTH DAYS! Think I'm not gonna waste my time there again read more

Ordered the goi cuon and nem nuong. Wow! They're expensive! Price is per roll. $12 for 8 rolls total. Ridic! The rice paper tasted somewhat fresh and wasn't chewy. All the proper and right ingredients in each type of roll were used. Don't think I'll be coming back. Too expensive. ?$1.25/roll. Still Dat Thanh is the no.1 go to place for delicious nem cuon! read more

The rolls were delicious! I honestly thought they were better than Brodard and the Spring Rolls tastes the way Spring Rolls are supposed to tastes.. with a bit of mint and the right type of pork! I'd highly recommend! read more

Couldn't wait for this joint to open and was satisfied with the nem rolls. More of the grab and go type of place. Mos def would come back!
