I really hate to leave bad reviews especially when the service was good. But the bahn mi sandwiches we got were the worst i've ever had. The pork wasn't grilled, it tasted like it was microwaved, there was no flavor at all, the veggies were limp, there was no jalapeño or anything and no Vietnamese mayo, the only good part was the bread. We ordered three sandwiches, one for each of us and one for our son. We just shared the 1, and gave most of that to our dog. We brought the other 2 home. My son took a bite and couldn't eat any more of it. And he eats everything lol I absolutely hate wasting food and money like this. I was really, really looking forward to a bahn mi sandwich. I'm having oral surgery in a week and won't be able to eat them for a very, very long time, maybe never again. We live in Aberdeen and were in town for a doctor's appointment, and our usual spot is closed on Thursdays. So I found this place on yelp. Huge disappointment. And I'm bummed that I have to leave this review because the service was great. The gentleman at the counter, who took our order and cooked our food was super friendly and nice. And maybe the other food there is good, but if you're looking for a bahn mi, go somewhere else. It was literally the worst we've had. read more

I ordered the pork bahn mi and was so excited to try this place. It has to be among my worst bahn mi ever. It was not grilled pork or at least didn't resemble pork. It was bits of meat. I am very disappointed and won't go back. read more

Nom Nom deli is and always will be a mainstay of Olympia! Everything on the menu is perfection. My mom and I had the coconut curry tofu bahn mi and the coconut chicken bahn mi and loved. Laura treated us to macarons and David the owner warmly greeted us. Run, don't walk to Nom Nom deli for lunch! read more

This place was just okay. I wanted to love it but I didn't. The bao was ALL dough. I wouldn't come here again. read more

I love this place so much! If you get a chance to stop in, their Tokyo Soba is the stuff of dreams. The staff is friendly and the food is quite reasonably priced. I only wish it was open on the weekends so I could have it more often! read more

Great spot for a quick lunch in Oly, with options for most dietary needs and palettes. Definitely get a hum bow for the road. I tried the veggie and it was divine. The owner is rad and friendly. Also can vouch for the won ton soup, and tofu and pork Banh Mi. read more

Went back in today for the first time in years and really enjoyed my lunch. I had BBQ bahn mi and the egg flower soup. Both were delicious and good sized portions. Price is also great for 2024! The owner is super friendly which adds to the overall positive experience. Just wish they were open on the weekends! read more

Amazing service, amazing food, and fantastic ambience. I got the pork bao and have -100 regrets. Ps the owner had great hair read more

These guys will always be the best and most kind owners! I've been going here since middle school

I got grilled chicken noodles, bbq pork bao, and the vegetarian spring roll. The spring rolls were filled with tofu, which was really well seasonal and tasty. The peanut sauce that accompanied it was very sweet and thin, and both rolls fell apart as soon as I took the plastic wrap off. The pork bao was different than any other Ive had, it reminded me of a jelly donut in both color and tastes. Again, a little sweeter than I'd like but the dough was amazing. Finally, the noodles. The chicken was really tasty, the sauce was good, and the portion was quite large. Altogether pretty good. read more

Amazing authentic Chinese sausage bánh mì, pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice to name a few of our favorites. We love stopping here whenever in the Olympia area. Family deli is very clean and husband and wife are very friendly and pleasant and make us feel like they genuinely care and want us to enjoy their foods. Prices are very affordable because they focus on having repeat customers. Best bánh mì place south of Seattle! read more

The Nom Nom Deli - Chinese sausage bánh mì - Delis Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I love this place so much! I was in town for a yearly trip, and I'll definitely be back. The man working in the front and the woman in the back cooking were extremely kind, and handled a large group of kids well. The spring rolls were amazing, and so was the thai tea! Very fast service, and great prices. read more

This place is super affordable, and that's the best part. While you're lucky to find a sandwich in the area for under $10, you can get one here for under $5. The second best part is the vibe, perhaps best captured by the painted quote above the door, "I got this belly at The Nom Nom Deli." Inside, red & green laser lights dance around and a funny sound plays each time the door opens, which might sound annoying but in fact adds character. The third best part is the food, which is just OK, but worth it for the price. I prefer the BBQ Pork Sandwich. read more

Did a large takeout order for my office for lunch today. David, the owner, was beyond helpful! They went above and beyond for our office while making it organized. I ordered probably 45 sandwiches and David put a color system in place so we could easily grab the sandwhich we wanted. The fried rice was super yummy along with the spring rolls. Lots of variety. This place is affordable and local. Eat local right now! read more

My partner and I have been going here for YEARS, and we absolutely love Nom Nom. I even have their number stored in my phone. The sandwiches are delicious, vegan friendly, and very fairly priced. Their spring rolls and dumplings are also good, as well as their wonton soup. One thing that really stands out about Nom Nom is how nice the owners are. You can tell they really care about the business, and they are always super kind to customers. read more

Best food in town. Yeah I said it AND ID SAY IT AGAIN. I've never walked out without a smile and an amazing meal. Best spot in Olympia.

We were really looking forward to visiting here because Bahn mi is a go to. We moved from an area with a large Vietnamese population so have tried many. They had a large selection of Bahn Mi & the staff was very helpful and there was indoor seating. Sadly we were very disappointed & couldn't eat more than a few bites. The roll was very dry and stale and since that made up the majority of the sandwich that made it a two star. Sorry. We will give it one more try but not for Bahn Mi. read more

It was ok. I was expecting much better based on the reviews. The prices are amazing but the sandwiches are very dry. Seriously, if they add sauce, this could be a 5* review. That being said I LOVED the fresh rolls and the pork bun. The people were very very nice also, made me feel good supporting this business. read more

So ... the food was great, quite excellent actually. But I want to write about what happened after. I got food around 12 pm. Unbeknowest to me, my wallet fell out of my pocket as I exited the building to go to my car. I didn't notice. Around 6:30 pm, I get a knock on my door. (I hadn't realized the wallet was missing) It is the owner of Nom Nom, standing there, with my wallet. He had seen someone go to grab a wallet that was on the ground, and went out and explained that he thought it was one of his customer's. He saw my address on my drivers license and dropped it off at my house after work. They have my lunch time food vote for the rest of time. Excellent Bahn Mi sandwiches are a good find, but finding a business that is so supportive and special... that is quite rare indeed. read more

We stopped by Nom Nom while we were visiting. The restaurant inside has a funky and fun vibe. Bright colors, laser lights and bumping music. Our group got some spring rolls to start. The rolls were good and fresh. The peanut sauce went great with the spring rolls. We also had a steamed pork roll, BBQ pork sandwich and a chicken sandwich. All the ingredients were fresh, tasty and Incorporated Vietnamese flavors. The service was friendly and quick. Also, the food is very affordable, sandwichs are as low as $3.50 for a good size sandwich. Very good spot for a quick, interesting lunch. read more

I was only interested about it because of the good reviews, but was severely disappointed when I actually had it. I stopped by Nom Nom Deli for a late lunch. When I came in, the restaurant smelled amazing with the owner(I think) was busy mopping with pine-sol or something. The design of the shop looks a little small and outdated, but has a good music selection. It didn't take long to look at the menu. I ordered a fluffy pork banh-mi. The staff were pretty friendly. I waited a few minutes until the order is ready, then left. We got back in our car and immediately started digging in. The look of the sandwich made me frown. The "fluffy" sandwich was not fluffy at all. It was very hard and stale. The veggies were fresh and plenty of it, but the pork looked really weird as if it wasn't pork at all. It looked like there were gobs of hair in the sandwich. It was flavorful, but I felt like I was chewing marinated hair. Luckily it'll be a rare chance that I go to Nom Nom again. The food looks appetizing, but doesn't taste it. read more

Clean and bright, the pictures on the wall had the wife and I excited to order... The food was only so so. We ordered spring rolls, phad see ew and the lemongrass pork sandwich. The spring rolls had shrimp and BBQ pork, but was bland and the peanut sauce was unremarkable. Hhhmmm, the phad see ew was mad with thin phad thai style noodles that soaked up all the sauce and gummed together. The lemongrass sandwich was the best thing we ordered. Good flavor on the meat; I wish the pickled vegetables had more bite. read more

Stopping in right after they opened on a Saturday morning, I was expecting a big desert place with basic deli items catering to the local work-day crowd and got something much more delightful than I expected! The menu has Vietnamese flair and the environment is bright, colorful and airy. Two Bánh Mì sandwiches (lemon grass and barbecue), a warm sesame bun and coconut water ordered to go proved to be very delicious lunch fare later. Evidently they are really busy during the weekday so expect appropriate service times. Definitely worth a return trip! read more

This place was all over the map. Warmed up with two spring rolls and a BBQ pork hum bao. The spring rolls were pre-packaged but tasted ok. The hum bao was vast majority bread and cost $4 by itself. The cutlery was visibly dirty. If we were to stop here this would be a 2-star review. Luckily, the Singapore Noodles with chicken bailed this meal out. Thin rice noodles in a slightly sweet, slightly curried sauce with veggies. A big portion for $7. If I were to come here again I would skip the apps and go straight for a noodle dish, or maybe roll the dice on a bahn mi. read more

Great Vietnamese sandwiches, the bread is just right - crusty without being too tough. Flavor and fillings are spot on. I recommend the lemongrass pork. We tried the fried rice and veg noodles as well. Good flavor, the noodles were a little soggy, though. I had never been to the old Nammy's. This new location across from Batdorf and Bronson is clean, warm and inviting. The price was awesome too! I'll be back for sure. read more

The kind of place where fellow Yelpers look at you with a slight nod, thinking yeah I know about this place too. Yes! A place that doesn't bleed the wallet but the food is simple and good. Loved the Sandwiches, the fresh rolls and the iced Vietnamese coffee. read more

We came here for dinner on Friday night and the place was absolutely empty. We ordered a special pork banh mi sandwich, a lemongrass pork banh mi sandwich, a pad see ew you, and a pork bun. The bread on the sandwiches was stale and not fresh. The grilled lemongrass pork felt as it it were steamed, not grilled, and a day old. The pork bun was microwaved in Saran Wrap, and not worth $4 (esp when you can get a sandwich for $4.50). The pad see ew was SUPER oily. Not a great spot for Vietnamese good in my opinion. At least the place has a convenient downtown location. read more

Tried a little bit of everything across the board and I'm not just dissatisfied, but that shit was gnarly. I should have known when I walked in by the smell. read more

I've been regularing this Banh Mi shop for a while now, and there's definitely reasons why. They offer 3 different vegan banh mi options, and the owners are super kind and friendly. I think it's really cute how they have a little disco ball in the restaurant, it's cute and quirky! I wouldn't necessarily eat there though, a lot of their fresh food (seafood and such) comes with an odor. I always just order it to go, and WOW they are so inexpensive! My sandwich cost me less than 5 dollars, and it was a big sandwich. I got the lemongrass tofu sandwich, which was a recommendation from the owner. Absolutely delicious, and I will continue to bring my friends and family here as long as they're open. read more

Best, friendliest and most reasonably priced in town. Get the wonton soup. Or a sandwich. Noodles? You bet.

I cannot get pass the smell of that place. It smells musty and old as soon as you enter. The food was meh. Pad Thai noodles had a weird smell. Veggies on my sandwich were days old. Very surprised because this place was highly recommended! I definitely will not be making a half hour trip for this again! read more

Incredible prices and great veggie options. I love the curry tofu banh mi. Soup is also pretty solid, but if you're not going there for the sandwiches you're missing the point. read more

Watched them microwave my entire meal. Meanwhile disco music was blaring with disco strobe lights to match. Best part the music was skipping during the entire meal and no one noticed or cared to fix it. Sauce literally had been watered down. Water was room temp no ice. No thank you read more

Incredible sandwiches, pro tip- get extra veggies. Noodles are wonderful a and the staff here is always friendly

While trying to be mindful of the hardships everyone is going through these days, Nom Nom fucked up. Me and my sister came in and waited very paitently, and ordered simple food. My sis ordered the pork floss sandwich and I the Spring rolls. We waited for at least 40 minutes watching at least 3 people behind us get their orders. Once we finally received our, she noticed that there was hardly any pork in her sandwich. Like, NOTHING. We were so hungry and disappointed. We don't know if we offended the staff or anything, no clue as to what happened. We won't waste our money or time here again. read more

Food was delicious! I've had a hard time finding good pad thai in the area and this place was so good. You can't beat the prices either. Wish we would have found this place sooner. read more

The banh mi is better at Nom Nom Deli than it was at the previous incarnation, Nammy's. Nom Nom Deli made my banh mi with more meat, so I was happy about that, but the coconut chicken itself was really dry. I went back a few days later and ordered the Thai Fried Rice, which I really wanted to like, but the portion was really small, compared to the Pad See Ew that my friend ordered. The Pad See Ew didn't have any broccoli (does it even count as pad see ew at that point?), and was made with the skinnier rice noodles (like the ones used for Pad Thai), so I'm not sure what was going on in the kitchen on Friday. Our food took 30 min to make, so we had to inhale our food in order to make it back to the office. The owner did apologize and say that he was down by 1 person, but I'm still not sure what happened with the pad see ew's missing broccoli and wrong noodles. I would suggest that people call their orders in ahead of time to avoid the 30 min waiting time for food other than banh mi. The ambience is nicer than it was before, and the space is inviting and cheerful. Street parking is okay, as long as you are willing to pay the meter. If you work nearby, you can take the Dash shuttle or walk. read more

This is a solid place! Great staff Lots of veggie options Super fresh Good Thai iced tea Would definitely go back! read more

I was hungry. But the sandwich was SO disappointing, none of the advertised mayonnaise. I threw most of the sandwich away. Although it's convenient, I won't go back. Much better Vietnamese sandwiches to be had at Da Nang. read more
