Amazing service!

We had a very tasty and fun experience yesterday at Yum Son. I’d been in twice prior but happily brought a new Nelson resident in to try the flare. Steph, our hostess/waitress was absolutely a pleasure and she really made the experience all that it...was. She offered suggestions, was happy to tell us what she liked, and seemed very proud to represent her place of employment. It is staff like this that make the difference in a town where there are many choices! We loved the Imperial rolls, calamari, and the salad rolls. The guest draft beer was great!More

One of my favourite local restaurants!

Head to Yum Son, and gosh, you're in for a treat! The food is always phenomenal, the cocktails make you feel fancy, the service is great, and the atmosphere is top-notch. The servers know the menu, can make great recommendations, and are always helpful and...friendly and polite and you know, just - cool. Shoutout to Carli who somehow always just knows when I need a spring roll to go with my bone-broth caesar. Life-saving.More

Great pho and drinks

Had a great meal and drinks, our server Carli made us some delicious negroni's, and rounded it off with some pho, great for the winter cold.

A cure to homesick

As a Vietnamese student who study abroad, it is inevitable for me to miss home sometimes. In such times, the food from Yum Son always bring the best comfort, especially the Pho, and more specifically the broth. I would not say it is the same...broth that I had back in Vietnam, but it is very similar, and more importantly, very very delicious. I also love the Sweet Soy Chicken Wings - perfect texture and flavor. Thank you, Yum Son, for being one of the best part of my life in Nelson! And I have learnt that a Vietnamese chef, Ms. Alice Nguyen, is contributing to the great service of the restaurant, so thanks you as well, chef Alice!More
