Viet Nom Nom is a Vietnamese-inspired fast casual restaurant & multi-operation food service company based in Evanston, IL. We started our concept in 2015 and opened our first brick & mortar location in 2017.
Our menu features a modern, unique fingerprint on traditional Vietnamese concepts, like banh mi and pho. We offer our own housemade & elevated recipes that highlight local ingredients and cater to the growing dietary needs of today's modern diners.
We've grown like crazy in a short period, leveraging our unique menu & strategic partnerships. In 2020, despite the challenges of the pandemic, we were able to open THREE new locations in three consecutive months. We opened a kiosk at Dr. Murphy's Food Hall in the Old Cook County Hospital (Illinois Medical District), a private commissary & ghost kitchen at The Hatchery (East Garfield Park), and a food court location inside of the Norris Center on Northwestern University's campus.
We currently use our Evanston storefront like a commissary to support multiple businesses across Evanston & Chicago. In particular, we have a significant partnership with Northwestern University. We are a preferred catering partner, operate a daily grab & go meal distribution business across campus (~200 units/day across 5 locations), run campus food court kiosks, and even have a stadium kiosk at Ryan Field during football season.
Our new kitchen inside of The Hatchery also serves as a mass production facility for sauces, marinades, and proteins for all of our operations, especially for offsite pop-ups & festivals across Chicagoland.
