    Sadly the bar tender was away so no cocktails available on the day we went, so we decided to go elsehere. The staff were very friendly and understanding about it. Thhe system ould not let me subit a review without filling in food and value... the menu looked good adn prices oK, but we did not get to try.

    Just booked a table but didn’t knowthey are reopened for new concept. I’m more than happy with new small plates. I tried beef noodle soup, summer rolls and small imperial chicken. They’re all amazing and fresh. My friend had pancake and a small round noodle. And she loved it too. The bill came up to £40 for 2 including drinks. Very value for money And we definitely come back

    It’s the second time I came to Nem Nem and service /food have gone downhill like a Chinese rocket. The place was empty and they didn’t serve cocktails (they could have informed us beforehand!). The waiter cleared our table without checking if we had finished (and no we haven’t finished our food!!!!)! That was simply rude and unprofessional esp the restaurant wasn’t busy and it’s not like we are hanging around for 3hrs. There are plenty of authentic Vietnamese restaurants in shoreditch at much better value. I can only wish them luck.

    remarkably authentic, light and zingy Vietnamese cooking on Upper Street - nice to find a proper restaurant amongst the chains, with delicious, simple, zingy food and a quieter atmosphere than most of the neighbouring spots.

    Nem Nem is a great Vietnamese restaurant up near the fire station in Upper Street. They were kindness itself when my two friends were trapped on the tube and arrived an hour late. ... The food and drink are very tasty and for every meat or fish dish, there is a vegetarian option. I've been before and I will certainly go ahead.

    It was our first time there which I made very clear, so needed help with the menu as we do not eat meat. Did not get that I’m afraid... Not enough fish options just a lot of prawn dishes also seemed very rushed. Just couldn’t wait to leave they seemed to busy with home deliveries then the us.
