Namtown

Namtown brings modern halal Vietnamese cuisine to Yishun Central, filling a niche for authentic Vietnamese flavours with full halal certification in Singapore's northern heartlands. Operating from 925 Yishun Central 1 #01-211, this no-frills establishment serves the local community from 9.30am to 9.30pm daily, offering a convenient option for those craving Vietnamese comfort food without venturing into the city centre.

Situated within a traditional kedai kopi setting, Namtown maintains an unpretentious atmosphere that puts the focus squarely on the food. The menu features Vietnamese classics prepared with halal ingredients, with their pho and bún bò huế earning particular praise from customers. These signature dishes demonstrate the kitchen's understanding of Vietnamese cooking fundamentals—the complex, aromatic broths that form the foundation of Vietnamese noodle culture, carefully adapted to meet halal requirements without compromising on authentic taste.

What makes Namtown valuable to the Yishun community is its commitment to providing genuine Vietnamese flavours in an accessible, neighbourhood setting. The restaurant accepts CDC vouchers, making it an inclusive dining option for residents. For those seeking a quick Vietnamese fix in the north, Namtown delivers comforting bowls of noodles and other Vietnamese specialities without the fuss, proving that authentic ethnic cuisine can thrive in heartland coffee shop environments when executed with care and proper technique.
