Perfect family restaurant to celebrate a birthday like we did today! Our server Mary was friendly, helpful and efficient! She made great recommendations too! We loved every dish she recommended! Egg drop soup had mushrooms and veges in it! Tastiest we've ever had too! The honey walnut shrimp and the best dish we all loved was the honey walnut tofu version, both were excellent! Orange chicken is a family favorite and their recipe is great! Salt and pepper chicken was a yummy treat! We also love their scallion pancakes and always order them! We arrived at noon before the lunch rush starting around 1230! Their homemade ginger lemonade was so cool and refreshing! It was everybody's favorite drink! read more

Food Nomad short ribs - These had good flavor but the meat was chewy. 3.7/5 Sweet and sour soup - A solid soup that had a very light spice. Chicken was moderately tender. 4/5 Garlic and jalapeno chicken - Great first bite but diminishing returns due to a one note flavor - spicy garlic. 3.8/5 Honey Walnut shrimp - The best I've had. The most tender and perfectly seasoned shrimp with a light glaze and excellent honey walnuts. 4.8/5 Service Our waiter was great, an asian person with short hair. 4.5/5 Atmosphere Not my vibe, personally. Very traditional casual asian restaurant. 3/5 Tl;dr - Come here for the honey walnut shrimp, it's delicious. read more

Nomad Asian Bistro - Honey walnut shrimp. Get it. - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Excellent Halal Chinese food! We come here for group dinners, family style eating. We get stuffed every time because the portions are so large. Great for groups because the dining room is so large and the tables can be reconfigured in any which way. I have never had to wait to be seated because the dining room is so large with so many tables. Highly recommend the handmade noodle options. I have been here over 15 times, and I have hardly ever ordered the same thing twice, and considering that we have still never had a bad dish. Everything on the menu is great. Favorite dishes would include the sesame flatbread, Szechuan Beef Stew Noodle Soup, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Basil Eggplant. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside. We stopped here for lunch prior to a flight out of LBC. Great food, nice staff and the perfect place for a yummy Asian lunch. My son said it was the best Orange Chicken he has ever had. read more

We arrived on Christmas Day for a non-traditional meal celebration and everything was amazing, as usual. We have two new babies in the family, both now 8 months old, so the idea of a traditional home-cooked meal was a little overwhelming for us. We ordered some of our favorite dishes; they arrived quickly, were very tasty, and the portions were huge. Definitely enough for all seven of us. Atmosphere was casual, we got in as they opened so it was not crowded yet (it's a popular place to eat), and service was good. Would definitely recommend Nomad anytime for a great meal at reasonable prices! read more

The girl on the phone was super helpful and nice-Mary. The food, cashew chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and lo mein noodles were excellent. We got it all to-go. Its amazing how every place to eat out has gone up. It totalled $50 without tip. I would definitely eat there again and it was enough for 2 meals, so there's the break! It was ready really fast too! read more

We went for dinner. Food was awesome! We had won ton soup with shrimp, orange chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce. Big portions so we had lots left over to take home. Service was outstanding. Food arrived pretty quickly. I have to say we really enjoyed everything but the standout was the soup. So flavor-full. Looking forward to our next visit. Normally we get takeout but it was nice to eat-in. read more

Food and service are great, take-out or dine-in. Lunch specials are offered 11am-4pm with generous portions and reasonably priced (most around $15). We had a late lunch today with enough leftovers for another meal or two! We love their Hot & Sour Soup. The Mongolian Beef is tender, flavorful and just the right amount of heat. read more

This restaurant has family style portions, delicious food (it's actually when I eat my vegetables), and service is so friendly and quick!!! I had the lunch special my pick was tofu and mushrooms (such a hit) and my husband had the crispy jalapeño chicken! But the most charming element was our waitress! She was so kind, warm and welcoming! She made sure we were never in need of any napkins, refills, etc. she was just so lovely!!!! My husband and I will be back for the lunch special but we are going to be regulars for our waitress, Mary! Thank you for making us feel at home! read more

ugh. I've been a customer of the restaurant for years. I ordered 40 egg rolls. when I arrived they said it wasn't ready so I waited an extra 15 minutes even being late. they handed me the wrong order but didn't know until I got to my party. I called to comeback and exchange and did so. they egg rolls have now been sitting there for an hour. they didn't offer any type of discount and those less extremely inconvenient. I still paid full price for cold egg rolls. read more

The rating was really high and so my husband and I had to check it out ourselves. It was tucked in a corner along PCH and second street in a strip mall where Bevmo is located. There were a bunch of people blocking the entrance and we thought there was a line around lunch time. Well, these were people just waiting or hanging out . As we got in I was disappointed right away with the disorder set up of the dining hall. I was thinking of something ethnic and really good decor but No -- chairs and table were just all over the place. There was no decor to make the place look pleasant. I even used the bathroom and it looked dirty. They didnt take the time to make the place look good for the customers to enjoy. As for the food, I was expecting something different from the other Chinese restaurants we've been to based on the reviews. It was flat--- meaning they can do better. Nothing extraordinary. However, I would say we loved their brown rice. That was different. It was like a Korean purple rice. The area where it is located is close to the ocean with nearby fancy stores which can justify the asking price of the food. Therefore if you are looking for Asian food in this area, it would be a good choice. read more

Came tonight for an early dinner. After they sat us down at a table we had no service for 10 minutes. Terrible customer service. Literally no one came to our table. read more

I ordered seasonal vegetables and cashew chicken. I will not order from them again. I called in the order and asked that the veggies be crispy. She said yes of course. They were so mushy and tasteless. Yuk! I called and told the person who took the order that I asked for crispy veggies. She said "well no one else has complained". Terrible customer service. The cashew chicken was mediocre. But they even managed to make the cashews mushy. Throwing the veggies in the trash. $43.86 wasted.... read more

Long Beach: Easy parking in front of this sizable attractive restaurant serving flavorsome Chinese food with the freshest of ingredients. Menu is extensive- I recommend eating with the herd to try more dishes. It was just two of us so it was hard to narrow it down without reinforcements. Carmelized Black Pepper Chicken: Very tender chicken with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and the sauce was drinkable. We tried. It was a tossup between that and the filet mignon. We'll just have to go there again in beef mode. We both took home leftovers after sharing! Scallion pancakes were four massive pieces of deliciousness. Oily on the fingers/worth it. Service was immediate and personable. Our food arrived piping hot and timely. However, we were there later in the evening around 8:00pm. For the size of this restaurant, I can see it getting very busy and loud. It was quiet on this Monday night. It seemed as though we were the only ones who did not order the sesame flatbread. Next time we will bring hungry reinforcements, and I truly feel there will be a next time even though I live an hour and 40 minutes away. No alcohol but no shortage of places for beer & spirits nearby. And Bev-Mo is a neighbor. read more

I can't believe I haven't given Nomad's a review. It is literally my go-to restaurant in Long Beach! The food is absolutely delicious and they give you HUGE portions. Some of the dishes I've tried: -honey walnut shrimp - 9/10; these are easily the best honey walnut shrimp I've ever had and they give you so many -cumin lamb - 10/10; this is such a unique flavor, and the depth of flavor is something you must experience (order rice with it) -shrimp fried rice - 10/10 literally the best shrimp fried rice you will ever have. The texture of the rice is perfect, the shrimp aren't overcooked. It's lovely -I've also had the curry fried rice and also super delicious 9/10, very unique flavor to it -chili wonton 10/10 - it's so damn good. So refreshing. You'll want to put the sauce on everything (we put the sauce on the curry fried rice and it took it up another level) -shrimp chow fun 10/10; I love it. Their noodles are perfect. -salt and pepper fish 9/10; definitely get rice with it to soak up the sauce -short ribs: 9/10; such a great marinade on those things! -honey glazed wings 8.5/10; great flavor, perfect cook on the wings -vegetarian egg rolls: 8/10 these are really good, they taste like a typical egg roll -chicken egg roll 8.5/10 these are great. They're very big. Comes with a hot mustard that I love Drinks: the tai iced tea is great but get the ginger drink for something refreshing and unique. I could drink that every day Service: they can get really busy so sometimes they are on the run, but Mary is my girl!!! She will take care of you no matter what! Everyone has always been extremely kind to me, even when they are busy. (Remember they get very busy with takeout orders too, they're not just working the tables in the restaurant). You can eat inside or outside which is lovely. And they're very fast for takeout orders, just call ahead. I love Nomads and every visitor that I have brought to eat at Nomads, always asks to go back when they visit again. read more

Overall very good Chinese restaurant. Like all restaurants in the 2nd Street and PCH area, the entrees are pricey. About $21-$22 per, and that's for low end stuff like Kung Pow Chicken. Higher for other entrees. read more

We happened to be in the area and decided to stop by somewhere nearby (as in, the same plaza) for lunch. Was very skeptical as I usually check Yelp & Google before I dine out anywhere, and the lack of recent reviews initially deterred me, but we committed and had no regrets! Everything was solid. The servers were so, so nice and food was served quickly. We got 2 lunch specials and the portion sizes were very generous. I got the orange chicken lunch special w/ steamed rice and hot & sour soup. I loved all of it! The chicken is crunchy which I prefer over places that serve it softer. The chilis are chopped up and spicy, and only if you bite into them. You won't taste it unless you purposely pick up a huge piece and chew on it. It looked just like in the Yelp/Google pictures. Bf got the Nomad short ribs lunch special and said he really enjoyed them. He dislikes soup, but loved his egg flower soup (I tried it and totally agree). He said it's personally the best he's had out of places we've been (Yang Chow, KPB, Brea/Rowland areas). Posted a pic of the short rib bc it's not mentioned in any recent reviews :) Also if you're ordering takeout, do consider experiences can vastly vary (even the best place's xiao long bao, or even orange chicken, cannot keep to its standard when placed in a takeout container depending on how hot it is at the time it's put in). read more

Good customer service. Just okay Chinese food. I have had better. Too much breading in chicken. Ginger lemonade was good though. Trust.

Soooo good!! Mary took amazing care of us, helped us handle our toddler, treated us like family. And the food was outstanding, flavorful, hot and tasty, came out super quick. Orange chicken , beef chow mein, hot and sour soup - 10/10 would recommend!!! Well be back soon. read more

My favorite Chinese food restaurant, hands-down Nomads Asian Bistro is a true gem for those seeking Halal fresh meat options. Their commitment to quality shines through in every dish, with flavorful ingredients that cater to diverse palates.

Convenient parking adds to the overall convenience, while the pricing is fair and reflective of the exceptional quality offered. Whether you're a Halal food enthusiast or simply craving delicious Asian cuisine, Nomads Asian Bistro is a must-try! It can get a bit crowded with a wait sometimes, but never to noisy the ambience is a vibe. read more

we tried this place for the first time last night. we charge our tesla in the same parking lot and checked out the photos online. Man were we delighted! The service was amazing, our waitress, an upbeat and super polite and friendly woman, who walked us through the menu and gave us her favorites. we ordered wonton soup and spring roll appetizer along with Jasmine Hot Tea and Amazing Thai Tea. entrees were beyond delicious, chicken with broccoli in a savory brown sauce, broccoli cooked to perfection and the chicken as well, and chow fun with beef noodle. can't say enough, we will definitely be back at least once a week. can't wait to try other items on the menu. The dishes are served family style and the price is just right. read more

We went here for an early dinner. We were seated promptly, and the service was fast. Everyone is very friendly. There are plenty of options on the menu for everyone.

You can't go wrong with anything you choose off the menu. read more

Theeeee best tasting Chinese food in the area. Ambiance would be best described as your typical Chinese restaurant. Fast moving food runners, bustling atmosphere and great tasting fare. Huge plus? They are HALAL. Highly recommend: - honey garlic chicken - everyone's favorite... orange chicken - general tso chicken - nomad short ribs - ummmm everything? And to wash it all down.. their refreshing fresh pressed ginger ale (kind of like a ginger beer sparkling water) Great family size portions. Enough to enjoy at the restaurant and plenty more to take home for the next day. Must try. Located behind what used to be Claim Jumper in a large parking lot. read more

I wanted to give Nomad five stars again, this time for their catering. My fiancee and I had them cater our wedding lunch. Every one of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was - and, as previously mentioned, they handled food restrictions perfectly.

Dear Nomad Asian Bistro, What a amazing place to come out in the LBC area to try. The beef rolls are amazing and I have come more than once for them. Spicy beef is yummy here, asparagus is very good here but I would have liked it more cooked. The short ribs are nicely made but they are not the star kept going for rolls. Service is okay here, I felt like the servers are not treating us with respect and would rather treat those whom come in as a "american" normal family look. So lacking in this for sure. Ambiance is off, it looks like the place is not completely finished built or something. So I am not sure how to say things here. I was fine with our table and seats just seemed like inside and outside did not have to look the same. read more

My coworker had told me about Nomad Asian Bistro, so decided to check it out. I had no idea there was a Chinese restaurant so close by! The restaurant is somewhat hidden in the back of the plaza but is fairly large. The interior is a bit worn (peeling paint on the wall, cracked tables), but service was okay. The menu is large and even has Chinese (always a good sign). There is a mix of Americanized as well as authentic dishes. The portion sizes are quite good for the price, and even the lunch special entree size was big (came with large bowl of white rice + cup of soup). The sesame bread (芝麻薄餅) was delicious, as well as the string beans, basil eggplant, and honey walnut shrimp. The two soup/noodle soup dishes were just okay for me, and the handmade noodles in particular were disappointing (expected them to be much chewier). Overall, a large menu and great value for the price. Would return for sure! read more

Nomad Asian Bistro was absolutely amazing. We ordered hot and sour soup, spicy shrimp with walnut, beef roll, scallion pancake, ribs, chow mein noodles, and rice, and every single dish was packed with flavor. The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served hot. Portions were very generous. We were a big group and still had so much food, and everything tasted incredible. The service was fast and efficient, which made the experience even better. Great quality, great taste, and truly satisfying. Definitely want to come back again. read more

Dined in here for the first time and loved the food and the friendly service. The nice lady who took our order was extremely helpful, should've taken her advice to order Chilli chicken instead of Crispy Garlic Jalepeno chicken which was fried and quite chewey in texture, but the sauce was flavorful and delicious She did mention Chilli chicken is the same flavor and steamed with soft texture and people usually prefer that, but I had to "learn it the hard way" ( Pun definitely Intended lol) Egg fried rice was spot on with the flavor, and thai ice tea was yum, would've loved some boba in it! Big shout out to the friendly staff, keep up the cheerful service,, we will definitely return soon! Note to self: always listen to the timely advice of the waitress, she knows better! read more
