Three of us ordered the Viet Yellow Curry Chicken Bowl. We all had the same question, “is this supposed to be a chicken dish?” Counted 4 slivers of chicken and even though we’ve had this dish a number of times before, this one was too...spicy. Something has changed at Yum Son and it’s disappointing.More

It had been a year since visiting the restaurant and honestly we are underwhelmed. The portions are smaller, the food is dry and the menu hasn’t changed since it’s invention. Over all the quality has taken a serious dive - there are fewer vegetables on...the plate, the meat was cold and the sauce - what there was of it isn’t any good. In the end you must need to be wasted to enjoy the food. All that said the service is great, but I/ we can never go back there - ever!More

This place is stylish and has an innovative cocktail list. The food menu is a little limited but everything we tried was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. Looking forward to more visits here.

This is usually one of our favourite restaurants in Nelson but this time the quality just wasn’t there. The veggies in my curry bowl were non existent and the tiny amount of chicken was not worth the price. The rest of the table had the...yum son bowl and the portion size was small compared to other times we have been there. Really disappointed.More

I love going to this quiet spot for food and drinks. The staff check for vaccinations passport which makes me feel comfortable and safe. The servers are helpful in guiding you through both the menu and the drink selections. (Great restaurant for date night…). I...love the pho but I can’t get enough of the appetizers and deserts. Thanks for several great mealsMore

I sent u my review … in fact you began your request for this rating with it . Pls use the words in my ORIGINAL REVIEW . As stated the meal we had was no more than a $48 value YET THE BILL WAS $66.00....More importantly, the fact the owner/server although pleasant ignored the fact I had barely touched the ‘curry tofu’ meal ( $19,00) and when asked if I wanted to take it away was told i did not, DIDNT query why! Both curry meals, one with shrimp & one with tofu were bland, the rice mushy & the tofu like chewing dried out leather. The BOK CHOY with Shitake mushroom flakes and slaw salad with p nuts were tasty and fairly priced.More

Great food, adhered to all COVID protocols, felt safe and service was exceptional. Would highly recommend anything on the menu here. The cauliflower appetizer is amazing.
