    Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Chad K.

    It's ok. I got a pork sandwich and a Vietnamese coffee. With tip it ended up at around $20. The pork sandwich was well seasoned and a little on the fatty side, which made it very tasty, almost like bulgogi. The bread could have been way crispier, but I did get it to go, so that probably was the to-go container. I think if they wrapped it in paper though versus the plastic lid container, it would be much better and not steam the sandwich so much. The Vietnamese coffee was ok. Lots of cream. I like them a little darker but it was still strong and got me nice and wired to finish my work that afternoon. All in all, not super notable but not bad. A decent option in the area and open very late.

    Chicken sandwich

    Moving on tasting all the menu I have tried the chicken sandwich and the bulgogi sandwich. The garlic noodles bulgogi they are all great, however my favorite of all is the Bulgogi bowl !

    Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Bowl
    Ashley M.

    A combo wombo over here... it's a 2 in 1 establishment. Açaí bowls to the right and Nguyen's kitchen to the left. Pick your choice! I ordered their bulgogi bowl although I should've ordered their bánh mì.... I'll be back. Bulgogi bowl was a healthy portion sized bowl. I added the sauces it came with and mixed it all around. It was pretty good, not anything that really made me "omg this is so good" but it was good. Bulgogi portion was skimpy for sure. You'll see in the photo it was more cucumber, pickled radish? And a huge bed of rice. I felt like 50% of the bowl was rice. I ended up leaving a lot of rice. I ordered their Vietnamese coffee which took a while to come out. I'm unsure what the employees were up to but it took a whiiiiiiiile for my coffee. I received my bowl first so I was like hm that's different usually it's the other way around. Beats me, but it's yuuuuummy! Keep u energized x100 hrs frrrrr super good and strong. Don't drink it at 11pm like I did. This is def a "late night hangout spot/munchies" because it gets loud at midnight and so with the people. Ironically I came to study with a friend but that kinda flew out the window due to the noise level in there. There's a single use restroom. Some seating inside and outside. There's outlets inside which is convenient for charging. Parking is within the plaza.

    Bulgogi Banh Mi and Egg Rolls (2 pcs)
    Karey R.

    We ordered a bulgogi banh mi and egg rolls to share. The egg rolls were delicious, but paired with a creamy sauce, I didn't really care for the sauce, but I would get the egg rolls again. The bulgogi seemed a little under marinated, but the optional sriracha helped. The bread was soft and delicious. I think I will try the grilled pork sandwich next time. The staff is great and the eating area is clean, I look forward to my next visit.

    Grilled Pork Bowl
    Michael G.

    I've been here twice and I'm definitely a fan! First time I went, I had the Grilled Pork Rice Bowl with an added egg and I had a bite of the Grilled Pork Sandwich... both were delicious! My second visit I had Garlic Noodles w/ Bulgogi. This dish was fine. A tad more filling than the rice bowl I had my previous visit but I definitely prefer the bowl and as far as protein choices go, I think the pork is much better. Employees here are super friendly and food comes out a lot faster than I thought it would. The inside gives me modern coffee shop vibes and is very clean and comfortable inside. There's also outdoor seating and although there's not much of a view outside of ample parking, I appreciate that I have a choice and prefer eating outside. I definitely see myself returning and look forward to trying the shrimp and chicken for my protein!

    Walking into this place is nice. The marble counters paired with wooden tables give it a clean, modern vibe. There's booth seating along the wall, a few larger tables, and even some outdoor seating. I also noticed outlets at the booths, so this would be a great spot to get some work done. Bonus: Purr Bowls is inside too, and I'm not gonna lie--their bowls looked so good I wish I had ordered one. Definitely trying that next time. Drinks: We got two Vietnamese iced coffees, and they were exactly what I expected--strong AF . If you need caffeine, this will absolutely wake you up and keep you going. Food: * Bulgogi Steak Bowl - I loved this. It was flavorful, filling, and still felt light/healthy. Everything just worked together perfectly. * Bulgogi Ribeye Steak Sandwich - My boyfriend claimed he's "not really into sandwiches"... yeah, okay . He completely devoured it--crumbs and all. Safe to say it was a hit. Overall, great vibes, strong coffee, and really solid food. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Always love this place. Food is great and desserts are excellent. Though, the Carson branch gives more than the amount on the desserts and the fries is better too. We didn't get a chance to take picture of the Cajun fries, it's an additional order. Not fond of the taste in this location; it's like air fried. Just tastes different from the other location. But overall, our experience was great. Staffs were excellent. Located next to Trader Joe's and across Five and Below. Ample parking. Limited dining space, but couple of single tables available inside and outside too. Place is clean. It's a must try. Enjoy! 3-22-2026

    Chicken bowl

    I first tried food from Nguyen's Kitchen at one of my daughter's classmate's birthday parties and was pleasantly surprised. Fast forward a month later, a friend chose this spot for dinner and I was totally down since I'd really enjoyed the catered food. The menu is small but solid which I didn't mind at all because I already had my eye on the House Chicken Bowl. It was just as flavorful as I remembered. I love the veggies especially the pickled carrots and daikon which paired so well with the rice and chicken. I ordered a cucumber limeade to go with it and it was super refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. Looking forward to trying their other bowls next time!

    Ordered the bulgogi sandwich, NK wings and golden Bao. Must try!! They also have pur bowls at the same location.

    Bulgogi sandwich - devoured half immediately! So good!
    Molly B.

    Tasty. Clean. Fast. What a winning combination! I got the bulgogi sandwich and devoured half of it before I even realized - then I tried to save the other half for later but that only lasted like 5 minutes (lol). I can't wait to try their other menu options and maybe even get an açaí bowl from Pur, with whom they share a space with. I appreciate how the food was worth the price - there was so much meat and pickled veggies but the ratio was still perfect! Their sauce is yummy and I added sriracha and jalapeños at home for added spice.

    Vibe: Very clean, modern, and easy for a quick lunch. It's also two businesses in one space: Nguyen's Kitchen is on the left toward the back, and PÜR Bowls is on the right (açaí and build your own bowls). What I ordered: Bulgogi ribeye steak sandwich. The bread was soft and warm, and I loved the fresh herbs and carrots. The steak was a little on the chewy side, but the sauce helped a lot and pulled the flavors together. Kid order: Egg rolls. Super crispy. Service: The woman behind the counter was very nice, and they thanked us when we walked out, which I appreciated. Overall (3 stars): A solid, pleasant lunch with kind service, it just didn't really stand out for me. I'd come back if I was nearby, and I'm especially curious to try PÜR Bowls because the topping options looked really good.

    I REALLY wanted some good noodles, and I found this place on Yelp. Really nice establishment, very clean. They had many different options, noodles and nice. I got 2 bowls, one with bulgogi meat and one with shrimp. (Then when I got home I put half the meat on one and vice versa so it was steak and shrimp). The noodles were delicious and I'm glad I added the steak and shrimp. The bulgogi was very flavorful and had a tiny crunch from the sesame seeds. The shrimp was tasty, I wish it was peeled though. One the side it looks like they had an ice cream bar, or gelato, not sure but it looked good! And the customer service was 10/10. Definitely recommend and plan to be back!

    I love Nguyen's kitchen coffee but their food is also not to be missed! I got the shrimp garlic noodles which are amazing. Also can't skip their crawfish pasta! Service is always quick and efficient and a pretty casual dining area inside. Conveniently located next to a Trader Joe's and Target!

    Pasta tasted spoiled. Blend or fusion did not work. Tasteless bulgogi, flavorless crispy wings

    Overpriced honestly. The food was alright, nothing special. The portions were a good size. Drinks were sooo good though.

    I'm really happy I got a chance to visit Pickle Banh Mi! This place makes the best banh mi i've had…read morein a long time and I grew up eating Banh Mi lol. We got their roast pork banh mi which was very delicious. It was savory and tender. Perfectly made. Lots of garnish as well. We also got their banh mi thit nuong which, as a classic banh mi option, would be something I'd definitely get again here as well. To top it off, we got their bo kho which is one of my childhood favorites. We came in with the plan on eating half of all the sandwiches and taking the rest home, but everything was so good that we ate everything at the restaurant lol. Service was very fast. Very professional. Presentation of the food was top tier (something you typically don't see at a banh mi establishment). Ambiance was a little noisy and busy. Lots of customers came in while we dined here. I can see why this place is poppin!

    Came here bc I was craving banh mi and I did a quick chat gpt search to the top rated place and…read morethis popped up! So glad I came here! Drove from Gardena to pickup two sandwiches and I am satisfied! So the cashier was training I believe bc it said trainee on the receipt and I asked what the two most popular sandwiches were... she said classic and grilled pork .. so upon my research I read about crispy pork.. and she said that was also good... so I ended up getting crispy pork and grilled pork Crispy pork which I hope was crispy (heo quay) it says pork belly on the receipt and not crispy pork belly idk if that's different? But it doesn't matter bc it was SOOO GOOD, Creamy buttery soft and slightly crispy Then the grilled pork (thit nuong) was okay pork belly was way better. It had more of a savory bbq taste to it and that's about it... idk if the cashier was new and stressed bc it was busy but if this was the most popular I would not get it again lol. I will come back just for the crispy pork belly sandwich Bomb.. i just ate one whole sandwich and could probably kill another half...
