    Garlic noodles with shrimp and egg rolls
    Stephan T.

    A great quick lunch spot. I wanted something not too heavy, so I got the garlic noodles with shrimp and some egg rolls on the site. Quick, casual, affordable and tasty. You order at the counter, and food comes quickly. It's open and shares the space with an Açaí bowls place.

    Really good food. Awesome service! Great place to enjoy a nice meal and great ambiance and good music

    Garlic noodles
    Peter H.

    TL;DR - good spot, nice for families. Grilled pork rice bowl and garlic noodles were delicious. Portion size was more controlled, so perfect if you don't eat much. Get an appetizer too if you are on the hungrier side! Decent spot! The service was good, speed was normal (waited 10ish minutes for the food to arrive), ambiance was nice too. Easy to hold a conversation and good place for kids. We got the garlic noodles with pork was good. Not amazing, not awful, but decent! Portion size was on the slightly smaller end for what I was hoping for but good thing my partner doesn't eat as much so I gobbled up their bowl too lol. Good flavors and made well. We also go the grilled pork rice bowl. The grilled pork sits on steamed jasmine rice, chopped lettuce, pickled carrots and daikon. Nice flavors and cooked well. Portion size was also on the controlled side. If I come here next time, I'll be getting myself a side to supplement the entree. I'd recommend both dishes. I'd get them again!

    I stopped by Nguyen's Kitchen in Carson and grabbed both the pork and chicken rice bowls from their quick-service spot that's connected to Pur Bowl (an acai bowl place next door). The setup is pretty casual and convenient -- there's a dedicated parking lot right at the plaza so grabbing a bite is easy, even later in the evening since they're open late into the night.

    NK Slider Burger (2 pcs) - beef patties, grilled onions, mushrooms all grilled in bulgogi sauce
    Tom B.

    Yoooooooo! I stumbled upon this place since it is across the street from the 24 fitness. This place apparently stays open late. They have sliders, wings, fries, bowls, pastas and sandwiches! I ordered the sliders to try and they were really good! 2 for $7.95 and they have a jalapeño sauce that goes great with it! The service was friendly and they play some really good beats! If I was a college student.c I would be studying here. They have booths so it's great to hang at. In the same space, they serve healthy bowls using açaí bases as well as other ones! Quite a good mix! I'm definitely coming back to try out their other dishes!

    Beef Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Bowl
    Aldwin J.

    Best restaurant I eat at in this area. Whenever I'm down here. I make sure to grab food from here! Amazing flavor and very filling! The service is good and the ambiance of the place is great to pick up and/or eat there.

    Cajun Garlic Fries / Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Sandwich / Crawfish Pasta
    Ashley V.

    Pasta, sandwich, and fries are always my trio when I go to Nguyen's Kitchen! The cajun fries are perfectly seasoned and the green dipping sauce gives a nice cilantro-y kick to both the fries and the sandwich. The bulgogi short rib steak sandwich is like any other classic banh mi sandwich, but the crawfish pasta has such great flavors! Little spicy but makes you want to eat more with each bite! The service at this location is welcoming and pretty fast. I like how there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating provides a relaxing ambiance with music and nice lighting. I've been to several of the Nguyen's Kitchen locations, and I can say that this location is up to par with the ones in Orange and Long Beach. Flavor-wise and service-wise are both consistent. Definitely recommend, even for late night snacking, as these locations tend to be open pretty late!

    My husband and I came here after discovering the IKEA across the street no longer has a cafeteria (very disappointing) however this place did not disappoint! We had the pork banmi and the beef bugoggi banmi . Both really good . But I would have liked a bit more veggies . Will ask for extra next time . Also if you like a sweetness to your meat get the buggogi otherwise get the pork.

    I'm allergic to shrimp, but can i still go and eat here (i saw that you had yakisoba noodles and i wanted some)?

    Does the beef bulgogi have onions in it?

    Yes, the beef bulgogi sandwich has onions in it.

    Wanted vermicelli noodles since I saw it on the menu and in the photos here on Yelp, however i called in and they were clueless and had no idea what that was. What is the mix up here, are there vermicelli noodles here?

    Hi Michelle, vermicelli noodles and chicken breast are not available at our Carson and South Gate location. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Is there outdoor seating and can I bring my dog?

    My father in law insisted we come here because he said it was really good. He also failed to…read moremention that this was years ago. As soon as we entered we saw a sign saying you had to pay before being seated. Red flag!! Paying before you even had a taste of the food rang alarms in my head. Asking for a tip before service has even been rendered is the most ridiculous thing ever. Alot of places do this and it needs to be changed. Tip after services have been rendered. The workers here at least the 4 that I saw were all extremely young. They looked like they all belong in high school. They were very slow in anything they did. During my whole time here I the resturant the phone kept going off and they ignored it quite a few times. The inside of the resturant nice and clean, no complaints from me. My wife used their bathroom but the door did not lock so I had to stand outside which is annoying and not suitable for any ladies wanting to use the restroom. The food took quite a long time to come out. We sat down for awhile before the appetizers came out. 2 of us got the pho lunch special and it comes with a fried veggie eggroll. It took 15 minutes just to get 2 veggie spring rolls which were fresh and hot. When taking a bite out of them the inside was just mushy veggies and tasted like they were soaked in soy sauce. Then the spring rolls came out and they looked ok. After tasting they were decent. My only complaint about them is there wasn't enough peanut sauce, just a little dish not enough for all of our rolls. My wife ordered the combination fried rice. It came and it looked nice and hot. Upon tasting it for myself it tasted extremely salty. The proteins in it (Chinese sausage,shrimp,chicken) were almost inedible with the exception of the Chinese sausage. The shrimp was extremely over cooked and the chicken was cut thin and wide, like jerky and was just as dry as jerky. My FIL and I ordered the combination pho. The pho was extremely lackluster and was missing some components commonly in combo pho (pho dac biet) it was missing tendon,flank and meatballs (sometimes not always in pho dac biet) The meat to noodle ratio is extremely terrible, had at least 8 bites of noodles left and no more meat. The broth was so bland no flavor at all except for the over abundance of sweetness from the sugar. Being part vietnamese myself I love alot of pho whether its super delicious or just ok. This pho is not even in the "just ok" realm its terrible, its a disgrace to pho everywhere. Even if you are the type to put Hoison/Sriracha in the broth it will not save it. FIL says this place uses to be good but I guess things have changed since his last visit all those years ago. You could pick almost any other pho restaurant and I am 99.99% sure it would be better than here. If you value your time,money, and taste buds please stay clear of this place by any means necessary.

We understood that we came in pretty late and close to closing, but we weren't planning on dining in, we just wanted to get 3 drinks and 1 food item to go. As soon as we walk in, we received with "we're closed for dining" which all three of us said okay, got it. As we took a look at the menu to figure out what we had wanted, we were met with annoyed stares and sighs as they watched us. This interaction in its full entirety lasted about 10 minutes from walk-in, to waiting, and leaving. It was a pretty uncomfortable situation, and kind of disappointing, as the girls making the drinks not only rolled their eyes and let out sighs while simply making our drinks, messing up one of them up and saying "oh well" and continued to make faces. Which is fine, I didn't ask for it be remade since I didn't want to further interact with the women during this closing shift in this establishment as to not want to feel anymore uncomfortable as we had been with the treatment from the staff. Along with the service not being the greatest, the food item we had ordered Pad See Ew, ended up containing quite a few pieces of meat that we weren't anticipating, considering one of us doesn't eat meat, it unfortunately caused pretty bad stomach issues. We hope that maybe we had just caught an off day with the staff and this isn't the usual service, but as it was our first time at this establishment, it will more than likely be our last.
