Tried this place on the way back from Morikami Japanese Gardens to Miami where I live, and was very glad we did! I am Vietnamese born in the States and grew up Philadelphia and Northern Virginia, both places that have a sizeable Vietnamese population, so I spent most of the last few years wondering where good Vietnamese food is around Miami. Well, a few minutes inside and we already knew this place is legit. It's small but comfortable, the staff is attentive, and the food is authentic. My wife and I started with the banana blossom chicken salad which came with a perfectly seasoned sweet fish sauce (in case you're wondering, banana blossom is not sweet or fruity but has a slightly floral slightly earthy flavor like a mild artichoke). I got the Com Ga Ninh Kieu, which is similar to a Hainan chicken if you're familiar with that - yellow poached chicken is served with rice thats cooked wiht the chicken juices and broth, topped with crispy fried onions (or shallots, I forgot) and a side of sweet ginger-y fish sauce; the meat was juicy but still packed with flavor. My wife got the chicken pho, which came with the same juicy and simple but tasty chicken, and a broth that wasn't too salty but still packed with chicken flavor. The food was all delicious and reminded me of the same no-frills tasty cooking that my family grew up with in Philadelphia; even the veggies on the side were legit. To my surprise after reading online, the owners actually immigrated to Philadelphia before eventually relocating to Florida! My only wish is that this place was closer to downtown Miami so I could come try the rest of the menu. read more

This little place serves some of the freshest and most delicious Vietnamese food we have had in a long while! I came here with some friends and we had the opportunity to stay and order different dishes all Of which came freshly Prepared by the owner/chef who personally Stopped by the table several times to make sure everything was going well. The service was super cordial and they truly made us feel at home. The restaurant itself occupies 2 shops in the strip mall, one side holds the kitchen and the takeout area, and the other side has the smallish dining area. I must say that they keep the temperature warm... I am always cold in restaurants and I was not cold here- and the kitchen side was definitely hot. As far as the food: everything is cooked to order, so do expect a delay in service. One side of the table was eating and finished before the food for the other side of the table came out: we were a table for 8; so expect to stay a while and have plenty of conversation time before your food arrives... but you will see that it is super fresh and delicious. We do recommend it and will Definitely be coming here again! read more

I recently returned from Vietnam and the food served here is very authentic. Vietnamese cuisine is renowned for its balanced and fresh flavors, emphasizing the interplay of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and spicy elements. Vietnamese cuisine is a treasure trove of options so you could literally eat something new from their menu everyday for weeks without running out of options! If you visit this Vietnamese restaurant and wondering what food you should try, this restaurant has many options to choose from. It is one of the most similar ones I've had to my trip in Vietnam. The service was wonderful and place is clean. read more

I've eaten a ton of Vietnamese food in my life at places from hole in the wall to upscale. Since relocating to South Florida I'm 2018, I've found a few decent Vietnamese places -- mainly focused on Pho -- but have been looking for a more wide variety of traditional dishes. This place is it and it's amazing!!! We drove quite a way to check it out a few weeks ago. Entering the door everyone was very nice and smiling. We had already checked online and knew they had traditional dishes, so we were ready to order. A longtime friend of mine had introduced me to a mainstay traditional dish about 12 years ago. It's sweet and sour soup with fish (or shrimp, if you prefer) paired with pork belly in a clay pot. Put rice on the bottom of the dish, add the soup and pork -- and viola, it's a comfort food dish Vietnamese style that's out of this world!! Note: there are many other dishes that you can order. I'm confident they are just as delicious! Afterward we met Mindy, who along with her husband Victor, open up this place about 6 months ago after having a successful restaurant in the PA-NJ area. We can't wait to go back!!! read more

Vietnamese cuisine is one of my favorites. I was happy to find Com Gà Ninh Kiêu near my work. The first time I tried & chose summer rolls to go, yummy & refreshing. The second time I enjoyed the restaurant, friendly staff & ambiance (nice jazz) all pleasurable. The Thit Nuong was the best I've had, it included charred sugar cane (nice surprise), the seasoning & freshness were perfect! I'll return & recommended. read more

Com Ga Ninh Kieu - Thit Nuong (grilled pork over vermicelli) - Vietnamese Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Com Ga Ninh Kieu is a new restaurant so everything inside looks bright and clean. The staff is very nice. Their menu is a little bit different from the Vietnamese restaurants we are used to seeing here. Instead of a focus of pho, they have dishes not often seen on other menus here, so it's great to try them. We got the chicken rice, which is similar to the Hainanese chicken rice, even though it isn't so named on the menu. Tender chicken with fragrant rice. My only complain is that, maybe the cleaver wasn't sharp enough, but there were quite a bit of broken bone fragments in the chicken, which didn't make for pleasant dining. We also enjoyed our bun rieu, a tomato-based noodle soup with crab meatballs. The taste is so traditional, the ingredients fresh and the seasoning delicate. The plaza where this restaurant is located in looked kinda dead on a Friday night, which worried us a bit. There are a few other restaurants too but just a handful of cars in the lot. Hopefully this place gets busy and stays open. You guys all should come and give this a try! read more

BEST chicken rice I have had in the U.S. it says a lot since I live in a very diversified part of the country with quite a few chicken rice or the likes. My kiddo got the chicken pho and loved it. The durian smoothie is her favorite of all the things we tried. The owner/people who work there are super nice. Mom and pop style place. Clean and comfortable. Wished we live closer to eat her once a week. They shared that the chicken they get are free range not the industrial super fatty chickens. You can definitely taste the difference. Looking forward to returning annually :). read more

Com Ga Ninh Kieu - NK Chicken with Rice (Com Ga NINH KIEU) - Vietnamese Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I've eaten there on several occasions with my daughter and granddaughter! We have enjoyed every single moment of our times together eating there. Although we try something deferent during each visit I have to say that the salt and pepper shrimp and the chicken wings are our favorites!!! The chicken pho is like eating grandma's chicken soup in the dead of winter. The husband and wife owners are very friendly along with our same server that we have every time. I'm glad that they didn't try to make the interior into something it's not. The decor fits perfectly with the food which is simple but elegant! I highly recommend trying this place especially if you're trying Viet style food for the first time! 9/10 read more

Awesome experience! I just wanted cup of coffee from a local business instead of the big chains. Supporting my local businesses. I had a delicious cup of coffee. Nothing too fancy, but delicious.

Happy to finally find a well-reviewed Vietnamese spot in South Florida! I was excited that the menu went beyond just pho and included many authentic Vietnamese dishes I love. We ordered the cá kho tộ, phở gà, and gỏi sen. The lotus salad was the best, so flavorful and refreshing. I loved the combination of shallots, sauce, peanuts, and chicken, everything worked perfectly together. The caramelized fish dish was also excellent, the meat was both lean and rich at the same time, and sauce was very savory & comforting. The phở gà was the only slight letdown. I had high expectations since they're known for their chicken, but the broth was a bit bland and simple. Even after adding toppings and sauces, it didn't quite pop. That said, the chicken itself was great with that bouncy texture we love. Service was wonderful, the waiter was kind, knowledgeable, and had great energy. The restaurant was clean and cute. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to Fort Lauderdale. read more

Living in New Orleans and learning about Vietnamese culture, I've come to appreciate and have high standards for the food. The vermicelli was delicious, as well as the wings, and the pork bahn mi was good, but too small for my liking. Unfortunately, it's in an auto-oriented, suburban hegemonic design that pollutes the environment and worsens our health. Thankfully, Alan's hospitality made me feel very special and worth the whole experience - all the workers deserve a raise, especially him! Oh, and lovely decor complete with a charming altar! read more

Com Ga Ninh Kieu is a hidden gem that truly delivers an authentic Vietnamese dining experience. If you're craving bold, traditional flavors without the Americanized shortcuts, this place hits all the right notes. Tucked away in a modest strip plaza, it may not look flashy from the outside, but once you sit down and take that first bite -- you'll understand why it has such a loyal following. Let's talk about the grilled beef rolls -- hands down, the star of the show. Called bo cuon la lot on the menu, these flavorful rolls feature tender, marinated beef wrapped in wild betel leaves, grilled to perfection. The smoky char, the savory-sweet marinade, and the herbal aroma from the betel leaf all come together in every bite. If you've never had these before, prepare to be wowed Their com ga (Vietnamese chicken rice) is also excellent -- clean, comforting, and true to its Southern Vietnamese roots. The chicken is tender, lightly seasoned, and served with fragrant broken rice and a flavorful side of fish sauce. Nothing over-complicated, just honest, well-prepared comfort food that tastes like home cooking. You'll also find a solid selection of noodle soups (pho, hu tieu, bun bo Hue), rice plates, and lesser-known Vietnamese specialties that you won't often see on mainstream menus. It's clear that the kitchen knows what it's doing -- the flavors are balanced, the ingredients are fresh, and the dishes come out hot and fast. Service is low-key but kind and efficient. You're not getting fine-dining white-glove service here, and you shouldn't expect it -- this is a mom-and-pop spot focused on the food, and they do that extremely well. Our server was friendly, quick to recommend their specialties, and brought everything out with a smile. The space is clean and simple, with Vietnamese music softly playing in the background. It's not fancy, but it's warm and welcoming -- the kind of place where food speaks louder than decor. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Must-try: * Grilled beef rolls (bo cuon la lot) -- smoky, herbal, and packed with flavor * Com ga (chicken rice) -- simple and comforting * Iced Vietnamese coffee -- strong, sweet, and perfect to finish If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food in a no-frills setting that gets the flavors exactly right, Com Ga Ninh Kieu is the real deal. I'd come back again just for the grilled beef rolls alone -- they're that good. Highly recommend giving this spot a try if you love Vietnamese cuisine or want to experience it beyond pho. read more

Not a typical Vietnamese restaurant!!. Theres's no pho on the menu. The star is the chicken...which makes sense since "ga" (means chicken) is in the name of restaurant. Surprisingly we didn't try the chicken but we did get the seafood noodle soup and crepe which were both delicious. They make a fantastic peanut dipping sauce for the summer rolls. The coffee is very strong, but good, and woke me up fast! I'm sure I'll be up all night. We'll definitely return and next time will order the chicken soup or chicken rice dish. Looking forward to it. Happy this authentic Vietnamese restaurant has finally opened in our neighborhood. read more

Absolutely do not recommend this place. I went for lunch since it's close to my house and they only had chicken pho available. The broth was extremely bland and the chicken was not good at all. Maybe their other food is better, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for pho. read more

Awesome new Vietnamese spot. Food was super fresh made to order, and everything tasted amazing. The restaurant is actually very nice inside and clean. I loved the big bottle of ice water they leave at the table as one of the biggest problems with Vietnamese restaurants is getting a refill on water. I didn't explore the menu too much but had the fresh shrimp and pork summer rolls which were very good with very tasty peanut sauce, however, it was missing the pork that I'm used to having alongside the shrimp. Not sure if that's the norm but it still was really good. The crispy spring rolls were out of this world, the best in Broward end of story. I would go there just for the crispy spring rolls. They came with lots of fresh lettuce, cucumbers, daikon, was just purely awesome. Also got the banh mi pork sandwich which was awesome. All of that for 20 bucks, good service and great food.. read more

Loved this place! We went with our Vietnamese friends and they thought it was authentic and delicious as well!

Best, most-authentic Vietnamese in South Florida. Not even close. Here are my bona fides: not Vietnamese, but lived in Cali a long time, eating from the best spots in the OC and San Jose. NK is tied with the very best I've been to in LA and SF. In fact, maybe a hair above. I enjoy fun spots like Pho Bar. The food is good, but it's not this. NK is a cute, cozy place with a family-run vibe. The owners were delighted when they saw how much we enjoyed the food, beaming with pride -- totally well-deserved. Fresh rolls, spring rolls, grape leaves stuffed with fragrant beef, beef and rice noodles, and the salads -- the salads are savory and sweet and just incredible. If you love fresh, flavorful Vietnamese go, go, go. There is nothing else like it anywhere around here. You can thank me later. read more

The service is ok.They bring out big bottle of ice water(which is a big + for American customers). The restaurant is clean. The food needs improved for better.As a Vietnamese I'm very picky about Vietnamese food.Beef Pho is very simple,people have it with little of signature toppings.Beef Pho is excellent by itself.But for specialty dishes like: REAL chicken pho(i don't mean the fake chicken pho that you can get in random Pho restaurant),you need their signature toppings to make it enjoyable because it is very bland.Chicken pho needs more vegetables on the side,more scallions,even more ginger sauce if someone decides to ask the sauce in their broth.Don't forget,Vietnamese people eats more vegetables than everyone else on the world.The chicken have too much tiny bones. Too much broth while too little vegetables.The chicken is a little strong smell.I can still feel the stink of chicken meat 1 hour later.Some Vietnamese people have very sensitive tongues. The shaken beef have 2 sizes and they didn't mention us about that.My partner said the shaken beef is over average not too much special and he had this dish in almost every states that we traveled (more than 30 states).That is one of his most favorite Vietnamese dishes(others are beef stew and hủ tiếu áp chảo),he knows about it more than lots of "Vietnamese experts" you can see on Yelp. read more

Love this place. Food is great. Service is excellent every time we come. Owners are a joy to converse.

Authentic, fresh ingredients, great customer service - efficient and knowledgeable about the menu options

Great food. Very clean. One thing I recommend is more sandwich choices and mor vegetables.

Such as friendly place. Felt welcome immediately upon entering. Pho is good and no beef pho. Only if I can translate. It is a chicken pho place. Portion is kinda small. Beef stir fry noodle is a disappointment IMO. Very nice ambiance as it remains me the recent visit to Vietnam. The pho broth is really tasty and very good. read more

This is a very nice homey Vietnamese restaurant. The service is attentive. The food is traditional and light. Prices are reasonable .

The flavors are authentic! I had the tamarind soup, which reminded me so much of my family's cooking. It's a low key environment with friendly staff. The restaurant is located inside a shopping plaza so make sure to be on the look out for the Com Ga Ninh Kieu sign! It is easy to miss the restaurant if you're looking for NK Viet Kitchen. read more
