Check-ins
Come here for
Classic phin drip coffee
Coffee brewed through the traditional Vietnamese phin, from the same Da Lat beans sold by the bag.
Curator’s note
Vince Nguyen chose Chinatown because a neighborhood built on resilience and identity matched Nam's journey as an immigrant-owned small business. Long nights, early mornings, roasting days and staffing troubles came before the Ord Street doors opened on a soft launch.
The Coffee
The Chinatown shop pours strong Vietnamese coffee, salted cream drinks and matcha ube drinks on beans freshly roasted at Nam's own roastery. The coffees step from a dark all-robusta Da Lat through a medium-dark District One to a medium Orange County, the Catinat decaf is a water-process arabica, and the phin itself sells in black, copper or red.

The Vibe
Nam's Chinatown front is a white awning lettered COFFEE MATCHA BAKED over a dark-framed glass wall, with Xin Chào in cursive across the window and a string of bulbs under the canvas. Inside the glass, white marble-topped tables and wire chairs sit along the window, and a red Welcome to Chinatown A-frame stands on the sidewalk.
