Hai Nam Restaurant

Update 10/30/2021: This place is awesome! Food is always good, friendly service, and always fulfilling. This is a hole-in-the-wall of authentic home cooking, Vietnamese chicken & duck comfort food. Lots of love and effort has been put into cooking, preparing, and serving the food. I always feel satisfied coming here. Beginning of COVID closedown: Exquisite chicken, wonderful flavor, addictive rice. I love this place. The lady is always nice and run the entire place by herself; cooking, preparing, taking orders, and tending payments. Unfortunately the restaurant hasn’t been open lately and I’m craving their food. Hope they get this place open up and running.

The chicken here is very sweet and delicious. We order the whole boiled chicken but it seem like missing "parts". I will check again. Or you guys can double check if i am correct. The restroom door knobs need to be cleaned. The kitchen floor was a horrible. I will review and adjust star on my next visit.

I’ve eaten here once while visiting 3 years ago and I constantly crave their mien ga, as it’s quite tasty. Your plate will include great amounts of juicy chicken and their friendly service will always provide any additional condiments or toppings for your food. I probably spent an hour scouring through every Viet restaurant in San Jose looking for this restaurant. I look forward to my next visit when I’m in the area again.
