Nam-Viet Restaurant

06/12/2026

As summer settles in and the temperatures keep climbing, we wanted to remind everyone that Vietnamese cuisine is about a lot more than just soups and spring rolls. 😊

You’ve seen us talk about our soups and our Saigon-Style Soft Shell Crabs, but have you explored our stir-fried dishes?

One of our favorites is the Chinese Sausage & Crabmeat Fried Rice. Known in Vietnamese as lạp xưởng, Chinese sausage brings a rich, savory sweetness that pairs perfectly with sweet crabmeat and wok-fried rice. Add an ice-cold Saigon Beer, and you’ve got a complete meal that’s hearty, satisfying, and perfect for summer.

Of course, if you still want to add a bowl of soup or some spring rolls, we won’t stop you. 😉

Stop by today and discover a side of our menu that deserves a little more attention. 🍻🍚😀

🌞 Looks like Arlington is in for a few hot days ahead. While we’ve got plenty of soup and those famous soft-shell crabs on the menu, nothing beats the heat quite like a refreshing Vietnamese Iced Coffee paired with our Grilled Pork & Crispy Roll Vermicelli Bowl. 😎☕🥢

Cool down, fuel up, and let us take care of lunch (or dinner). We’ll save a seat for you. 😊

From us to you guys for the month of June. 😊

Guess what’s back like the first time this week?

The wait is over! Softshell Crabs season has arrived, paired perfectly with our Elder Emperor clarified gin cocktail. Grab yours this weekend while supplies last! 😊

Hey guys posted this a few weeks back, please make note of today’s schedule.

Forty years later and we’re still here—because of you.

We’ve mapped out our schedule for the rest of the year so there are no surprises.

A few closures, some shortened days, and our annual reset in August so the team can breathe and come back stronger.

We appreciate every single one of you who’s been part of this journey.

Let’s keep it going. 💙

Even after 40 years, seeing Nam-Viet recognized and written about in the Washingtonian still gives us the same excitement as the very first time.

What began during the days of Arlington’s Little Saigon has grown alongside this community for four decades, and we never take that support for granted.

Thank you to our loyal patrons, neighbors, and the Arlington community for continuing to keep this story alive as we move forward into Year 40.

From our family to yours — thank you for being part of our journey since 1986. ❤️

Good morning, everyone.

The last time this happened, the community responded loud and clear and showed that Arlington is far greater than this kind of vandalism and graffiti. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views, these actions do not reflect the values of this community.

We want to thank our patrons for bringing this to our attention. We’ll say it again: the rich history of Arlington — especially Little Saigon — has always been a vibrant example of the American experiment, built on the contributions, sacrifices, resilience, and hard work of immigrants from all over the world who became part of the fabric of our county.

Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day, Nam-Viet friends.

We’re happy to share that the vandalism on the Little Saigon marker has been addressed and the beauty of the sign restored. Thank you to everyone who shared the post and helped bring attention to the defacement so the county could take action.

This definitely made our Sunday. 😊

Heads up for this Sunday.

12/23/2025

With the final weeks of the year fast approaching, we wanted to give everyone a heads-up on our holiday schedule — complete with the festive days that close out 2025. 🎉

Please make note of these dates, and we hope to see you between now and then for all your favorite comfort dishes. 😊🍜
