Ba Nam Restaurant Introduction
From Trảng Bàng to Adelaide – A Timeless Story
Ba Nam Restaurant is more than a place to eat – it’s a living memory of a Vietnamese grandmother’s kitchen. Named after Bà Năm Lời, who first served steaming bowls of phở in Trảng Bàng in the 1970s, our restaurant is a heartfelt tribute to her legacy.
Reimagined in Adelaide by her grandson, Ba Nam brings the original flavors, slow-simmered broths, and soulful recipes to a new generation. Each dish is cooked without shortcuts, staying true to the old ways – because every spoonful should taste like home.

Our Stars in the Bowl & Beyond
At Ba Nam, every dish is a heartfelt tribute to traditional Vietnamese cooking — slow-simmered, fire-grilled, and lovingly plated. From our signature Pho with bone-broth simmered for 10 hours, to the no-shortcut Hue-style Spicy Beef Noodles, every spoonful tells a story passed down through generations.

The Ba Nam Experience
A Taste of Every Mood
Step inside Ba Nam and discover a space where Vietnamese tradition meets contemporary charm. Inspired by the nostalgic spirit of a family kitchen and the buzz of modern Vietnamese eateries, our restaurant blends the warmth of heritage with a fresh, casual elegance.
Woven rattan lights hang gently over polished wooden tables. A colorful mural tells stories of Vietnam’s vibrant food culture. Around you, the hum of conversation, the aroma of simmering broth, and the clinking of utensils evoke the comforting chaos of an authentic street-side meal — but with the calm, curated touch of home.
Ba Nam is more than just a place to eat — it’s where cultures meet, where Vietnamese-Australians feel at home, and where curious locals come to taste something real. Whether you're here for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a first bite of phở in a stone bowl, you’re part of a tradition served with pride and soul.
Welcome to a dining experience shaped by memory, flavor, and connection, where every table has a story to tell.

What Our Guests Say
Every meal at Ba Nam leaves behind more than just flavor — it creates memories. Let's hear what our guests are saying.
As a Vietnamese living in Australia, I’m proud of what Ba Nam has created. The food stays true to our roots — phở, bún bò Huế, and even the sugarcane juice hit all the right notes. Plus, they stay open late, which is rare and super convenient!
Thanh N.
The Southern-style beef pho here is fantastic — deep, complex broth and tender rare beef that melts in your mouth. Honestly one of the most memorable lunches I’ve had in Adelaide.
Forkin’ Opinions
If you know the taste of true Vietnamese phở and bún bò, you’ll find it here. Everything is spot on — rich broth, fresh herbs, and that comforting home-cooked vibe. Service was lovely too.
Cong K.
I stopped by for a quick lunch and ended up coming back twice during my trip to Adelaide. Their Bún Bò Huế is absolutely incredible — bold, comforting, and full of real flavor like back home.
