    Tell me where else you can get an açaí bowl and a banh mi at 1 AM ? yeah, I'll wait. Exactly. This spot is undefeated. Everything they serve hits, but the açaí bowls are next-level. They stack them high and let you build your own without nickel and diming you for toppings. You can really load it up to its full potential. I love that you can mix bases (two flavors!) and the price difference between a small and medium is just a couple bucks might as well go for the medium. The large might be too much for me,but hey do you! It's one of my favorite late-night spots when I want something healthy but still satisfying. The staff is always nice and quick I've never had to wait long except that one time I ordered noodles (which were actually bomb by the way). But if you're here for the açaí bowls you're in for a treat. The banh mi also holds its own fresh, flavorful, and totally worth it. Overall, this place is a hidden gem that keeps me coming back for my late-night fix.

    Nguyen's Kitchen is located in a small plaza with other Asian restaurants and sandwich shops, making it a convenient stop if you are already in the area. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi and the grilled pork rice bowl. The sandwich had a few positives and a few misses. The bread was toasted and soft, which made it easy to eat without tearing up your mouth, but it lacked the crisp outer crust that I personally enjoy in a banh mi. The cucumbers were fresh, and the pork was well marinated, but the pickled vegetables were lighter than expected and did not provide enough acidity. Overall, it did not quite hit that classic Vietnamese banh mi flavor profile. The rice bowl was more disappointing. The pork itself was fine, but the rice was noticeably dry, which took away from the dish. Service was also on the slower side. While we were waiting, six out of six customers who came in after us ordered the PUR bowls, which makes me think those may be the items this place is better known for. Ambiance was just okay. There is indoor seating available, but the space feels designed for quick turnover, with hard surfaces and minimal cushioning rather than comfort. Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. I would not say this is a place I would specifically crave.

    First timer! Very busy plaza but found parking right away. Clean restaurant and restroom. Dined in. Food came out quick and beautifully plated. Tasty dishes. A little pricey for the bowls, but we enjoyed our experience anyway.

    If I'm being completely honest, I never noticed this restaurant, as it's almost tucked into the plaza. I absolutely love their bahn mi, I tried there chicken and If im being honest i would definitely choose the pork bahn-mi, I felt that the flavor on the chicken was little over whelming for myself. Over all their food is super delicious and made with care. I wish I could say the same about the staff, I usually call in my order, and I've had no issues with that at all, but when picking up, one of the girls was a bit rude and did not seem like she wanted to help. Although this does not impact the flavor / taste of the food, that's the only thing I would change.

    I heard this place is great ! wanted to try for myself but unfortunately waited 30 minutes for two sliders, turns out my order wasn't placed to the cook or was given to another order. Bad first impression, front workers should be more aware, rather than playing rock paper scissors

    Awful Popcorn Chicken, not deep fried at all extremely chewy. never coming back

    Disgusting chewy chicken not crispy at all!!! Don't Waste your money and time coming here

    Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Bowl

    I was so sad when they closed the Chino location.. I happened to be in the area to stop by this one for a quick lunch. Food is great but, my all time favorite item that use to be on the menu is no longer offered. I'm not sure if I will be coming back to any of their locations after this. I remember I use to order different proteins with different dishes, mixed and matched. A specific protein for their sandwich wouldn't be on the protein list for their garlic noodles and I would request it. They never have an issue writing it in their special request. Garlic Chicken Breast is no longer on their menu.. Chicken was juicy, saucy and plenty of garlic flavor. It is paired with sautéed mushroom. It was chef's kiss.. Imagine that over top of garlic noodles with special aioli sauce, garlic lover's dream. Garlic Noodles (with House Chicken)- just didn't hit the same. Chicken was dry.. not much flavor. Only thing that saved this was their special aioli sauce, of course I asked for extras! Bulgogi Short Rib Steak (Rice Bowl)- tender and flavorful. Solid rice bowl. Cajun Garlic Fries - wasn't as crispy as I'd like. More soggy than crispy.

    Marinated chicken sandwich topped with egg.

    Was at a convention and ordered DoorDash and have to say wasn't expecting much because it's an unknown restaurant late at night and DoorDash. The driver was so kind. The marinated chicken sandwich (banh mi similar) was AMAZING. All of the flavors melded so well, it was so fresh, the sauce was so good, chicken marinated just right and the egg cooked to perfection. The peach lychee green tea was so good too. Definitely will be back as soon as possible.

    First time trying this spot out, got a house chicken sandwich and Cajun garlic fries they where friendly cool spot to chill and enjoy your food very relaxing

    Had to make a quick stop in the shopping mall for the Tesla supercharger, so we did a little walk and we stumbled upon this little spot. Wanted a quick bite and refresher, so I got their popcorn chicken, extra spicy and crispy!! Gotta love the crunch! Just missing some xtra coriander leaves. Their coffee is strong and did the job for a Sunday midday pick me up. Staff were nice and very considerate in asking me if I needed any sauces to go with my popcorn chicken. What accompanied the chicken was some sort of jalapeño sauce, I believe it was their house sauce. It was a bit tangy and spicy, it was a nice touch with the chicken. However, would like to come back again and check out their entrees!

    Crawfish Pasta
    Robin H.

    I've been here several times from the afternoon or late night and their signature sandwiches and rice bowls weren't that good, it was always way too salty. It was either salty or the portion size was never consistent. The only menu item that really stayed consistent was their Crawfish Pasta. Their crawfish pasta is slightly sweet and a bit of spice which is great. Back then, their crawfish pasta had a good amount of sauce but it seems with inflation, it'll be less sauce or it'll depend on their cook. To me, their service wasn't all that welcoming and more of a take-out experience. The ambiance inside is just ok, their tables are weirdly always sticky which is why I never dine-in. I recommend their Specialty items on their menu if anything.

    Food was on the blander side. Probably would choose a different place to eat lunch in the future.

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.

They have a pleasant patio seating for you to enjoy the socal weather! The home style spicy potato's are definitely a one of kind! They had the perfect crunch with lemon flavor. After the favorable portions I had, I was satisfied and still had room for dessert which consisted of a sweet Baklava and creamy pistachio cheesecake (:
