About NAMBO BOX HILL

This Box Hill counter delivers robust Vietnamese staples, from crisp pork bánh mì to salted cream iced coffee. Regulars bypass standard breakfast routines for the savoury xôi mặn—warm sticky rice finished with fried egg and sliced sausage. Lunch runs center on baguettes packed with lemongrass pork, meatballs, or plant-based roast pork with vegetarian pâté. The non-negotiable pour remains the cà phê sữa đá crowned with thick, sweet-and-salty cold foam.

  • Savoury Sticky Rice: Warm sticky rice loaded with savoury sausage and a runny fried egg.
  • Salted Cream Coffee: Strong drip coffee capped with thick, sweet-savoury cold cream.
  • Crisp Bánh Mì: Crusty baguettes packed with crispy pork, lemongrass pork, or savory meatballs.
  • Vegan Pork & Pâté: Plant-based bánh mì built with mock roast pork and vegetarian pâté.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there vegetarian or vegan options available?

Yes, Nambo offers plant-based options including vegan pork bánh mì and tofu bánh mì, along with a dedicated vegetarian pâté. For group orders, staff have been noted to pack vegetarian items separately from meat products.

What are the most popular food items to order?

Customer favorites include the crispy pork bánh mì and nem nướng (pork sausage) rolls. Other popular choices include savoury sticky rice (Xôi Mặn) topped with sausage or fried egg, vermicelli noodle bowls, and noodle soups.

What is the salted cream coffee?

Nambo specializes in Vietnamese salted cream iced coffee (cà phê sữa đá with salted cream), known for its thick, rich, and slightly savoury topping. Note that some reviewers find the regular Vietnamese iced coffee much lighter or watered down by comparison.

How does ordering and wait time work during busy periods?

Orders are freshly prepared at the counter for takeaway or casual dining, though prep times can stretch during peak rushes since it is run by a small team. For work groups or larger orders, scheduling a specific pick-up time in advance ensures items are packaged and ready upon arrival.
