Came in for dinner but it was all booked for an hour. We had to settle for take out the next day. Pork spring rolls were very tasty as well as the pho.

Our first experience at Nhau wasn't great. Part of what we ordered never arrived. We asked several times and didn't receive the rest of our order. Very disappointed. We thought we would try it again yesterday. It was great! 5 stars! Great service. The food was lovely and fresh great flavours!! We will definitely be returning.

If you are looking for Vietnamese cuisine. This is the only place north of Nanaimo worthy of going. Nice quality and taste. Next time I stop in town I'll try out more of the menu. The only negative is it's next to a homeless encampment and support site.

Husband and I were visiting Vancouver Island and landed in Campbell River for an evening, and found this gem of a restaurant. The food was exceptional and authentic Vietnamese, the service was good and the quaint location made for a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed it so much that we stopped on our way back through the next day on our way home. Highly recommend the crepe!

This was our first time here. Everything was SO delish! The best spring rolls we’ve ever had! For a new restaurant it was a shame that there was no AC on a hot summer evening.

Visiting here to see my daughter and found this gem in Campbell River. We split a mango salad and had the Saigon crepe and the vermicelli bowl. All had super fresh ingredients and the sour, sweet, fish and chilli flavours on the salad was a taste bud flavour extravaganza. The crepe lettuce wrap was great and would recommend for those who would like to try something different. It was crispy and came with fresh sprigs of Thai basil. The vermicelli bowl came with choices of meat or vegan. We had chicken and it was moist and grilled to perfection. For two, with no drinks it was $70 but well worth it in my opinion. Campbell River is lucky !

First time dining and all the rave was right. Food was good, plating was nice, tasted great, portions fair. The ambiance was nice too but can be too dark for some. Hey at least they use real candles🕯Servers were very nice and attentive. Would love to visit again soon and try their other offerings! 👌🏻

Wow such a hidden little gem as I had to visit lovely Campbell river for work and stayed close by in the hotel and coming from DT Vancouver (yaletown) I know Pho like the back of my hand as we re spoiled with this food in downtown. I have to say this is one of my favourite places ever that I ve been! And that s saying a lot. I got the beef Secoue with the garlic butter chicken wings and omg! Seriously you guys. Excellent food! Portions also! The taste was amazing! This is a treat for this town and more people should definitely come here!! Thanks guys. If I ever come back you are #1 on my list to visit again

My wife and I arrived on a Tuesday evening without a reservation, the restaurant was full. The aromas upon entering reminded us of our time in Vietnam. We were promptly greeted by the staff and had a short wait for a table. We sampled cocktails from their comprehensive list, some quite unique names and mixes. The menu is not typical of the majority of Vietnamese restaurants that we visit and had some very interesting dishes. My wife had the vermicelli bowl, the most popular dish on the menu, presentation and flavours were wonderful. I had the Golden Char, which is smoked, deep fried chicken served with rice and vegetables. The chicken was perfect, crisp on the outside The staff were all great, we would definitely come back.

Ive been meaning to review this place. Absolutely amazing food, probably the best Vietnamese food ive had in a long time! I honestly cant say enough good about it, the flavour profile of every dish is exciting! Whoever is cooking up this food is an excellent chef who know their stuff! Thanks for bringing this amazing food to Campbell River! Parking: There is a parking lot but its bumpy and full most of the time, then again the building has been there for a while. You can also park on the street too. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a little bit of a lip on the door that could be a bit challenging for some, if your front wheels are small but it is an old building and it is defiantly accessible. I was able to get by power wheelchair through there no problem.

Uninviting restaurant. Was greeted with a long stare/glare from the waiter, when we were not greeted we asked if we can sit anywhere which his response was a very stern no at that point we just walked out and went down the road to Pho 54 where we were greeted extremely pleasantly had a delicious meal with amazing service and better price. We will only be going to Pho 54 from now on. Pho 54 also has great hours as Nhau seems to always be closed.

July 21, 2024

Would not recommend. Service was lackluster at best. Didnt bring out drinks until i had to remind him that we didnt get the drinks we ordered, spilt soup on us and our table and grease stained my clothes as a result. The reason he spilt the soup, was because he didnt clear plates before bringing mains, just over filled the table and had no where the put the mains. The appies were good but the beef dip is not what youd expect, it came on some very underwhelming bread. Definitely should have gotten a noodle bowl instead.

I ve travelled to Vietnam four times and love Vietnamese food. The food at Nhau was absolutely phenomenal and I can say without a doubt it was the best Vietnamese food I ve had in Canada. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavourful. The service was amazing and friendly. The dishes were all beautifully crafted and presented. I especially appreciated that they not only had vegetarian options, but that they were thoughtfully made and incredibly tasty! I loved the Ban Chay, a veggie noodle bowl with tofu and veggie spring rolls. Yum. We will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Many dishes had vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Our kids enjoyed some plain rice and were very happy. The restaurant had some high chairs available.

It was just ok. Good service but the food was average by our standards.

May 21, 2024

Sad to write this review as the other times I ve been I ve enjoyed this place. Their curry and pho were solid (3.5/5). But today I got the Saigon Bahn Mi and wow was that a mistake. Flavour inside the sandwich was solid, but the bread, oh the bread was absolutely horrific. It was probably the most stale bread I ve ever been served at a restaurant. I got take out, so I drove back and took it back it in just to be told that they crisp up their bread here and that s why it s hard. I ve worked in many kitchens, and I could without a doubt tell you that bread was sitting out for a day or two. It was not hard because it was toasted, it was hard because it was stale. Most of the bread was inedible. The bread was really hard to bite into. And once I took a bite into the sandwich it legitimately disintegrated. The bread turned into sawdust and coated my hands and food. It was so dry and unpleasant. The bread was so hard it felt like it was cutting my mouth. It s been about an hour and my mouth still hurts and my tongue feels raw from trying to eat the bread. Whatever you do, do not order the Bahn Mi.

Had the Com Tam Saigon - Golden Char with chicken; excellent flavour, on the bone. From the colour of the fat, I m guessing corn fed chicken. The plate looks huge! But overall, a very satisfying portion without feeling overwhelmed. Paired it with a Moscow Mule and finished with the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. I would call ahead and reserve a table; seating is limited. Bartender was very entertaining!

I would love to give this spot a solid 4, as the overall flavor was great. However when you are serving rice noodles, be it vermicelli or rice sticks it it very disappointing to get a bowl of Pho with noodles so over cooked I didnt need chop sticks and ate everything with a spoon. Even more disappointing when I brought it to my servers attention and he didnt seem to concerned and proceeded instead to rip on another local spot down the road. Super unprofessional and going to find it hard to go back.

★★★★
May 21, 2024

Between our group we had the beef vermicelli bowl & pork vermicelli bowl- both super delicious and refreshing! The golden char with pork- the flavour of the meat was amazing, definitely get again! Unfortunately the Bahn Mi wasn t anything to write home about. However, the cocktails were very good! Not too sweet, perfectly proportioned ingredients :) Service was great as well, everyone was super friendly and the waitress checked in frequently making sure we were doing ok and asked if anything was needed. Definitely recommend and will be back!

I would have given this 5 stars a few months ago but the last 2 times I ve gone the vermicelli bowl has been sub par - over cooked gooey vermicelli both times. My wife s chicken mango salad was also sub par - very bland chicken. I was excited that we had some good food come to CR - finally - but now I would not take guests there. Is this going to be another case of coming out of the starting gate great then not caring about the quality control? Bummer.

Been wanting to try out this restaurant since it opened. We were just 2 people and so we sat at the bar as the restaurant was full so I would definitely recommend reservations even for a party of 4. We went for a later dinner and I would imagine lunch service might have a quicker turn over. I have been to a few Vietnamese restaurants over the years on Vancouver Island and the mainland. My partner isnt super adventurous when it comes to different cuisines and ethnicities but will humor my love of food due to my own culinary background since graduating from culinary school way back in 1993. All that said , the menu was a perfect size and perfect amount of choices to explore. The smaller seating capacity I really think allows the dishes to be treated with the special attention each dish deserves and requires to keep the quality and special treatment they need to really stand out above other Vietnamese establishments I have tried over the years. Staff was busy but still attentive. The chicken wings stood out as the most flavorful and crispy little treats I have ever had in my WHOLE LIFE! I knew walking in it was either Pho or BÁNH MÌ CAY - Which I chose the sandwich and encouraged my partner to try another similar sandwich BÒ TÁI CHANH with braised meat and a broth to dip as he loves beef dips and he was amazed with his meal as well. Prices were amazing the bill that included a Budweiser for him came to like just over $40 before tip! Outstanding I will be back again and again! Only one little thing to note its lighting is very low and they have candles for atmosphere however the noise level mixed with the lack of lighting was a bit harder for myself who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder to find a seat that I felt all my senses were able to just come to a place of where I could totally relax and enjoy myself . Try it out its incredible

Genuine, delicious vietnamese food and friendly, knowledgeable servers made our lunch experience yesterday a real treat! Two of us shared an order of the vegetarian spring rolls, the papaya salad, and Bo Luc Lac and it was the perfect amount for lunch. Our table by the window was chilly on a cold winter day, but well put on an extra layer next time and order a big bowl of Pho to warm up! We plan to become regulars. Vegetarian options: The menu lists quite a few gluten free and vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: We noticed that the couple dining at the table next to us asked for several dietary accommodations (i.e. no onions, no cilantro), and they were cheerfully granted. Parking: Be sure to remove any valuables and lock your car as this can be a bit of a dicey area, especially at night. Not scary, but you need to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings.

Wonderful food and friendly service. Great mix of flavors and textures as well as my favorite that a lot of places skip- fresh herbs! We had to wait a bit for a table at lunchtime but our food came out reasonably quickly.

Just Dine in today and it s full house. We enjoy the authentic dishes with good plating and how attentive the servers to their customers. I am happy that they put a restaurant like this here in campbell. The spring rolls are highly recommended and their beef and chicken pho.

Was just there for lunch with my mom. It was getting quite busy, however the server was attentive and managed to attend to everyone in a timely matter. He did a great job! As did the other server who started shortly after we arrived. The food was fresh and delicious. The Pho broth was so tasty! We will definitely be back.

Very excited to finally have a proper Vietnamese restaurant in Campbell River. And its not just any run-of-the-mill Viet food either - they have many of the classic dishes I had while travelling there that I crave but can never find on the north island (banh xeo, bun bo hue, Viet spring roll). The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and affordable. We had the spring rolls and papaya salad with grilled prawns to share. The spring rolls were perfectly cooked and actually made with rice paper instead of a wheat wrapper. The salad was fresh, crunch, flavourful, and had 3 huge prawns which had a beautiful smoky flavour and notes of lemongrass and garlic. For our mains, my wife ordered com tam (broken rice) - known on the menu as golden char. The portion was massive and provided lunch for today. It had all the classic components except for the fried egg/steamed omelette. I had the pho bo (beef pho). The broth was rich, and had beautiful flavours of charred ginger and onion, anise, and cinnamon without being overpowering. The noodles were legit flat pho noodles and the amount of meat was very generous. I love the northern style presentation with tons of herbs and onions in the soup. The service was decent, but they definitely have some work to do. They are brand new of course, so we gave them extra patience. The servers can definitely work on being more attentive to guests (making sure menus are brought right away, orders are taken, and dirty dishes are cleared without having to ask about each plate and utensil). Overall, this was an amazing experience and I am so happy they are in town. All the best to Mike and team! Vegetarian options: They have multiple.

Amazing flavourful food!! A couple of very minor hiccups to work through, but totally forgivable for a new restaurant. Open for less than a week and the place was already packed. Make a reservation, its worth it!

Loving the food here. Definitely coming back

December 21, 2023

Let me start off by saying I am not a person who leaves negative reviews typically. The food here was unbelievably disappointing. The pho broth was tasteless, had no depth of flavour and could have been swapped out for carton chicken broth and no one would know. No herbs, no lime, and barely any bean sprouts. There was a decent amount of meat. The vermicelli bowl had no flavour either. It was just plain noodles with vegetables, no nuoc cham or anything. The spring rolls were overcooked and very tough, and the spring roll wrapping lacked the proper delicate texture. The dipping sauce was good. Overall, it tasted like convenience store Vietnamese food for a rather expensive price. Extremely disappointing.

Very impressed! We tried a selection of things and all were fantastic. The beef stew was different- very flavourful! They ve created a lovely atmosphere but I had a hard time getting over the server with a hoodie around her waist and far too casual demeanour. Wasn t great for the mood, but will definitely be back to try more of the food!

My husband and I ate here for the first time tonight and it was delicious! He s had more experience with Vietnamese food than I have and he said it s the best he s had. I wasn t sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the freshness, presentation and flavours of everything. Nice sized portions and a reasonable price. Very good Dark and Stormy drink as well! Renovations look great, much cozier! Server could be a little more polished and less abrupt coming to the table to take an order but wasn t rude about it just needs a bit more of an approach. Otherwise food came out quickly. Will definitely be back!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. I tried the Curry dish and my sister got the Sheet Plater. We both really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and staff was amazing. We will definitely be back to try a different dish. Food : 5/5 |

Moving here from the mainland I really missed bahn mi and pho soup which used to be a weekly staple in my house. Glad to find Nhau, and Im pretty sure the grilled pork bahn mi was better than any I had on the mainland. Great portions as well. Well be back.

Highly recommend! This restaurant opened in early November and its worth a trip. I had a delicious vegetarian pho. Ive had many pho in my life, and this was one of the best! Try their cocktails too - they have a whole set up and the bartender makes his own bitters.

Honestly the best Vietnamese food we have ate at between Victoria and Campbell River! Have waited a long time for a decent restaurant to open here! And wow have these guys/gals done it! The food, service and atmosphere is all top notch! Way to raise the bar for Campbell River. We ordered multiple dishes and appetizers and all were very impressive. Very good quality - great presentation too. Thanks for coming to Campbell River. You have gained a regular customer from us. And the service was superb. Friendly, attentive and accommodating. Very much appreciate a menu that is also good for various dietary needs. Thank you!

Golden char - wow. WOW. That is the best chicken Ive had in a while. Accompanying salad and sauce are lovely. Get this dish. Service - a smidge slow, but theyre getting started and people need time to get a groove. Picky detail - a mini ladle for people sharing pho is something Ive seen at other restaurants that would be worthwhile to add in to the service - for sake of flooded table and tasty broth spillage prevention. Seriously, get the Golden char with chicken. You need this in your life.

Went for the first time and loved it! The food was delicious, tasted fresh with many different flavors. Definitely the quality and type of food we need more of in Campbell River. The service was a bit slow and we had to ask for a few things such as cutlery but all the staff were very friendly and seemed to be doing their best on a busy night. Will definitely be back!
