Quan Nem Restaurant

Another one of my favorite restaurants that offers a variety of spring rolls, nem ran. I really like spring roll dishes in Vietnam. Yeah, as usual I forgot the name of the dishes I ate at Quan Nem. Essentially, I placed some lettuce in my bowl followed by white noodles, then I added the spring roll and finally topped it off with some fish sauce.

(Our meal – ~100,000 VND for two people)

Though the meal may not seem alot, trust me, it filled both my friend and I up. Give it a try.

  1. The Spring Rolls you had are called Cha Gio, not Nem. Nem is sour, fermented pork pressed into a sausage shape. The best coming from Thu Duc, Saigon.
    The name Quan Nem can mean Cafe/Restaurant – Delicacies – Choice Dishes.

  2. On the resteraunt topic:

    You know where the BEST cheeseburger in Vietnam can be found? Tan Son Nhat airport, by the departures gates.

    I know it’s not really related, but every American NEEDS to know where to get a good burger.

  4. When I am in Saigon, looking for a cheeseburger is not high on my list. But when I am waiting to board the plane for home after a 3 week stay, the cheeseburger is calling! The airport’s burger is not very “American” tasting either. The seasoning in the beef is very strong, and delicious.

    Please keep adding reviews Kevin. I hope to hit a few of them as soon as my family and I can get back to Saigon

  7. Creative Commons is very flexible. I am sure you can find some different version of it that will suit your needs.

    I don’t think the problem is the license, but people simply ignoring that there is a license at all for your content.

    You could move to absolutely no reuse permitted, and still people will ignore it, don’t you think?

    Phatch is supposed to do exactly that. Looks fantastic, and has amazing reviews, and even works in Windows (ugh!).

  8. Kevin,
    LOVE the restaurant reviews. I will keep them in mind when I come to visit. For me, the best way to know a culture is through the food. Keep up the good reviews.

  9. Kevin,

    I don’t have a facebook page. I was thinking about getting one, but…

    Also if you could do reviews on street food and the cost. $=cheap, $$$$=most expensive.

    What is the exchange rate for VND and USD?

  10. The forex rate for US$ > VNDong has been fluctuating wildly lately in the gold shops,(the best places to exchange), I was able to get VND16,300/$ recently and the rumors are that the rate could go to VND17,000 sometime soon.
    The VN government meddles so much, and so maladroitly, in the economy that amazing forex opportunities occasionally crop up and quickly disappear.

  11. What do you mean that the eggs are not real? Are they powdered eggs? So you wouldn’t suggest eating the street food?

    Clifton: Thanks for the exchange rate info. I will keep that in mind. I’m just happy to know that the USD is worth something 🙂
