    RIBEYE STEAK GARLIC NOODLES
    Kat B.

    I wish they can open up a location in LA since they r a bit further from me so sad!! Service is friendly and quick n attentive. Parking in a small plaza n lots of street parking. My go to is their lomo and u cant go wrong with egg rolls or spring rolls. The steak garlic noods are a must and bomb. I highly recommend this place u surely won't be disappointed or regret it. I had to try their dessert flan and was pretty good too. Cant go wrong eating here.

    8/4/26 MATCHA COFFEE, excellent, glad we stopped by to try this place!

    8/4/26 Saw my Yelp Fruend's review & video and it convinced me to visit--glad we stopped by to try this place! The restaurant is bright & airy, modern, comfortable seating & ambiance. Hubby & I were instantly greeted warmly by staff. Shout out to THANG and the crew, he's the best! He was attentive, friendly & welcoming, ensured we were happy with our dining experience. Ordered the Lomo Saltado, shrimp spring rolls & meatball pho which arrived in a timely manner. TgecSTAR of the show is the Lomo Saltado-- I must admit, this alone was a 10/10 because it's better than the one from our usual Peruvian spit in Cerritos. It was flavorful, the best was soft, silky tender-really bursting with flavor. The fries were equally tasty, soft crunch & nutty mouthfeel. The pho was pretty good but the noodles were not exactly on the Al dente side, the broth was rich. The shrimp fresh rolls were delightful with the creamy peanut sauce. It's a win, win, win on all counts. The restrooms were clean. Parking is free & shared among other businesses at this plaza. Today was an excellent experience, HIGHLY RECOMMEND this new spot. Give them some love.

    Takeout

    We ordered takeout from the lomita location, with Pho filet mignon, cauliflower beef garlic noodle, and crispy rolls. We were impressed with the takeout bags and cutlery with plant based products. Ordering online was easy as well. The Pho and Beef noodles were delicious but our only complaint was they both were short on meat, we would have liked a tiny bit more. The crispy rolls were delicious but the dipping sauce was too strong on fish sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will order again!

    OXTAIL FRIED RICE

    This was my first time coming here. We were seated very quickly, and the food came out fast as well. The garlic noodles were tasty, but on the oily side. I did like the sauce it came with and the prawns were not overcooked. The oxtail rice was my favorite dish of the two. It had a lot of meat in it and i liked adding the soy sauce on top. These dishes are on the pricier side, I do wish we got a couple more prawns. But I would like to come back to try their pho and lomo saltado

    This is the second location for NAM Kitchen, and like the first location, parking is limited. So I recommend coming before the dinner rush if you want to have an easier time to park, otherwise start looking for street parking. The food here is just as good as the food in the original location. It appears the menus are identical so you won't be missing out by going to this location. The food is delicious as always. They have a wide selection from rice, noodles, appetizers, etc. Their pho dac biet is solid and may be little heavy on the cinnamon-side. They have unlimited noodle refills, however if you have intentions to split a small amount with a child then the first refill is free and subsequent refills are $1.50. Their oxtail fried rice is really good. I'd come back just for this. It's essentially their version of fried rice with shredded ox tail meat integrated into the dish. It's layered with 2 fried eggs up top and they have a sauce on the side that you can add into it. The sauce tastes like maggi soy sauce is the main ingredient. So it's delicious but the entire dish is a bit on the salty side. The ambiance is nice. I'd say its a bit more spacious than their lomita location. This place is popular so I'd definitely come early.

    Great tasting food and nice service. The garlic noodles taste great, and have a rich umami flavor. The pho was good too (although more normal). Came here after a nice day in PV. Parking lot is free, but can become crowded during busy hours.

    I'm so happy to see they opened up a location down the street from me!! I've always heard about the Gardena location but never made the trip out yonder. After watching the minions movie I was famished so I stopped by here for dinner. Ironically it was also the Mexico vs England World Cup game playing. I ordered the shaken style pho, spicy wontons & a lychee peachee. The lychee peachee drink was veeeeery tasty. Sweet & refreshing!! It's not overly sweet at all-- I hate super sweet drinks but this was a perfect balance. The spicy wontons.... Man. PACKED. And I mean STUFFED with the pork and shrimp. Of course it's hot when it gets to your table, I mixed it around in the sauce and phew. Giving DTF a run for the money. They're a good size too. It's a mouthful for one piece. I was looking like chubby bunny eating them. Flavorful, soft chewy wonton wrapping, just magnificent !!! The shaken style pho was good. I think the broth is a 8/10 it's missing something by itself. I added a dollop of hoisin and chili sauce and it hit the 10/10 mark for me. The beef was tender and thin. Not much flavorful to it though. They are skimpy on the lime & jalapeños. They gave me TWO slices of a jalapeño... I was like uhhhhh. And half of a very small lime. I did request more jalapeños cause that's just wild. 2 slices ?! I was laughing I was so surprised. The noodles are a great quality, chewy and nice bounce to it. The lomo saltado I also managed to snag a bite from, I thought the meat was tender, fries are CRISPY and that ají verde sauce always hits the g spot. For dessert the mini Vietnamese flan was okay. The flan itself had no flavor but was VERY creamy. The vit coffee on top is what gave the flavor to it. Service was good, a little laggy but because of the game happening I didn't blame them. They also let us stay longer to watch the game. For 2 drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert the bill WITH the tip came out to a little less than $100. That's a steal nowadays. They have a small parking lot + street parking. The restroom is 1 for male and 1 unisex, such a weird combination. It's single use and you'll probably end up waiting as staff use them as well. The place is clean & maintained-- as expected as it is new. The aesthetic is very nice and modern, with a light color scheme.

    It's my first time coming to their second location! Nam kitchen has a location in Gardena which usually has a line but the Lomita location had no line when I went so that was really nice! The food was really good! I ordered the chicken pho and lomo saltado. The pho I think tastes the same as Gardena location. A lot of people order the pho since the pho is unlimited refills which is really nice! Personally my favorite is their lomo saltado I was actually surprised because I haven't tried it at nam kitchen before but the beef was cooked perfectly and not overcooked and fries were crispy which is hard to do with lomo saltado. Everything was also seasoned well. I will definitely be coming back here more often! So glad they have a second location in Lomita!

    This Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion restaurant offers a unique menu with bold flavors. We ordered the Angus ribeye steak with garlic noodles, and the steak was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were buttery, and paired beautifully with the rich ribeye. We also tried the Nam Spicy Wontons, which had a delicious spicy sauce that wasn't overpowering. The oxtail fried rice was another standout--packed with tender pieces of slow-cooked oxtail, and perfectly seasoned fried rice. For drinks, we ordered the June Lemon and the Moroccan Mint Strawberry Tea. Both were refreshing, the June Lemon offering a bright citrus flavor, the Moroccan Mint Strawberry Tea was light, fragrant. The customer service was excellent--the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. If you're looking for a creative Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion spot this restaurant is definitely worth checking out.

    I finally got to try the #3 spot on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in America. The entire parking lot is huge for this restaurant while the inside is nicely decorated with large TVs and lively atmosphere. FOODS: PHỞ FILET SHAKEN STYLE is a unique dish with the beef on the side. It comes with a pho noodle soup too. The beef is wok-seared with strong wok smoky flavor, a creative depth to the dish. The broth is beefy and rich. No hoisin is needed. NAM'S SPICY WONTONS aren't spicy for me though. It comes with thin, delicate wrapper and abundant shrimp fillings. CUCUMBER SALAD is crunchy, crisp, and fresh. It goes well with other heavier dishes. TRUFFLE FRIED RICE provides an unami-rich rice flavor. It comes with Chinese sausage. The rice isn't soggy and has a nice, moist texture. YUZU PEPPER PORK CHEEK is my favorite. The yuzu flavor is bright but not too sour. The pork cheek is incredibly tender and juicy. HOUSE CHICKEN WINGS are another favorite of mine. The crispy wings and condensed sweet, savory fish sauce pair so good together. LOMO SALTADO is tender. The green sour sauce enhances the beef flavor with fresh acidity and balances the richness of beef. CAJUN TIGER PRAWN MUSHROOM GARLIC NOODLES come with huge shrimp. The garlic noodles also come with green sauce to layer the dish. The noodles are al dent. DRINKS COCO MATCHA has a strong matcha flavor and is refreshing with the coconut water. It is light and caffeinated. MOROCCAN MINT STRAWBERRY TEA is a bit too sweet for me. It has a strong mint flavor. LYCHEE PEACHEE is my favorite. I could drink this all day. The drink is refreshing. JUNE LEMON is a fun combination of both sweet and sour. SERVICE Overall food is delivered extremely fast. The waiters were attentive. Seating areas are comfortable.

    Dinner in Lomita, California... My friend, Lilah, suggested that we meet at NAM Kitchen because it's a popular place with delicious Peruvian/Vietnamese fusion dishes. The Gardena location actually made it to the #3 spot on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the USA! Parking was free and easy. The interior was cozy and lively. Service was polite and efficient. We shared Summer Rolls and Spring Rolls. Both were yummy and beautifully plated! I got the Mushroom Garlic Noodles with Cajun Tiger Prawns... it was very tasty and filling! Thanks, Lilah, for setting this up!

    Spring Rolls - Appetizer
    RoseMary F.

    Group dinner or shall I say feast! This newly opened Vietnamese Peruvian restaurant in Lomita is the second location owned by Chef Nam. His original restaurant is nearby in Gardena (Listed in the Yelp Top 100 restaurants for 2026). We started with an order of Spring Rolls. They were filled with Shrimp, Lettuce, Carrots and came with peanut dipping sauce. I liked the crispy crunch of the romaine lettuce. If you like spicy sauce, the table had a ramekin of chili oil, Sriracha, and fish sauce available (no extra charge). Entrees ordered by my group of Yelp friends were: Tiger Prawns on a bed of Garlic Noodles, Beef Rib Pho (cooked 4 hours), Truffle Fried Rice with Chicken and Sausage, Ribeye Steak with Garlic Noodles (sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, green onions). The dish that stood out to me was the grilled Tiger Prawns (tail-on), they looked so delicious with a butterfly cut resting on top of a bed of garlic noodles, I wished I had ordered this. The service was quick, they had plenty of staff on hand to tend to each table. The portions were good and definitely a place I would return to try other food items. Stop by when you're in the area. They are located in a small shopping center, parking is limited, but may clear up in the evening when the other businesses close. Sincerely, Rosemary

    The location is good. Parking lot is a bit small but has plenty of street parking. The service was great; very friendly and hard-working. The restaurant is very clean, spacious and good seating. The pho was excellent. Just like their Gardena location. This location is still waiting their beer and wine license but it's in the works.

    Does the TIGER PRAWN GARLIC NOODLES come with asparagus? The Gardena Nam Kitchen doesn't give asparagus even though they still have it listed on their menu

    Business don't check these Yelp pages so you should just pick up the phone and call them.

The lomo saltado was tender and packed with flavor, the seafood rice was loaded with shrimp, mussels, and seafood in every bite, and the chicken katsu was perfectly crispy. We also shared sushi, and it was just as fresh and delicious as the entrées. The service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the restaurant was clean with a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy a long meal with family. If you're looking for something a little different than your typical sushi spot, this is definitely worth checking out. We'll be back to work our way through more of the menu!

Like a corn and seafood chowder. Perfect for cool breezy afternoon. We had the lomo de carne and the chaufa de carne. Both phenomenal. Next time we'll have some of the ceviche or fusion sushi but it was hard to pass up the Peruvian food and it was delicious so we definitely made a good choice. Recommend you leave some room for the alfajor. That darn cookie sandwich was melt in your mouth delicious. Everything was 10/10. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The order was delayed 45 min and no one even felt bad about it. Get our order and the two whole chickens look suspiciously like one chicken. And they gave us the wrong order and when I called, the guy on the phone says it's basically the same thing. Nope. Chicken is not beef. And when I mentioned the major delay (which delayed our dinner) and the wrong item, no apology. I guess years of loving the place, I approached our disappointment with a light touch but maybe that gave them the impression I was okay with their delay, and their oversight of actually messing up our order. The prices have gone up and the quality and portion size has decreased and while I am slow to share reviews where I express my disappointment, it was such a bummer from a long beloved restaurant that I felt the need to update my 8 year old 4 star review.
