    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!

    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!

    A friend wanted garlic noodle and were about to head out to Hiccup when I saw this, so we made a stop here. No pho but my friend got her delicious garlic noodle. I got the crawfish pasta, very cheesy.

    Chicken Ba Minh House Marinated Chicken Sandwich
    Ximena A.

    Stopped by after an event nearby. It's very clean and well kept. The staff is super nice, helpful and welcoming. I had their Chicken Ba Minh and the portion was VERY filling. I only ate half and saved my other half for later and it was just as good reheated.

    Cajun fries with bulgogi
    Kristina F.

    Fast casual Vietnamese fusion? Sweet (literally). My little one had an oddly specific craving for garlic noodles, so we decided to indulge him. I've had pretty mediocre experiences at other Nguyen's locations, but was hopeful walking into this one. The vibe was really simple and modern! Service was prompt and friendly. There are two separate counters here -- one for the smoothie bowls, and one towards the back for Nguyen's. Prices are a little steep considering the quality. A banh mi costs about $11 and tasted delicious (the grilled pork is possibly the best protein on the menu), though the texture of the baguette and the veggies didn't quite hit. Garlic sauce to the rescue! That sauce is so good. The Cajun fries with bulgogi were pretty basic, meat was tender and super marinated (their bulgogi marinade is tasty but heavily on the sweet side) and the fries seemed not too fresh and were unfortunately served cold. Garlic sauce to the rescue! And my toddler's plain garlic noodles with no protein were $10 and were like extra tangy and ferment-y. Like I swear by fish sauce, but these noodles were legit drowning. Garlic sauce wasn't gonna save these guys. Vietnamese coffee wasn't bad. All in all, our family of four ate for about $65. Not the cheapest, but could be worse. Overall would give them another try.

    Open until 1am
    Kim R.

    I came here for a Yelp event (to the Pur Bowls side) and obviously saw Nguyen's Kitchen attached. What really caught my eye is that they are open until 1am. My husband works nights and is always looking for places open late to eat. He and our son went there last night and he liked it so much that he had me pick it up for our dinner tonight. Not super big on these types of sandwiches but I did try a bite and it was alright. I really enjoyed the cilantro in it though. I got the garlic noodles and they were very good.

    Cajun Garlic Fries Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Bowl
    Mr S.

    I didn't realize this was a chain. Had the one in Carson. First time to the Long Beach location. Quality of rice, steak, fries - excellent! Juicy, good portions, lots of flavor. Not too much seating but it wasn't too crowded. Padded seats and bench. We were right under the air conditioner though so it was a bit cold.

    Bulgogi sandwich
    Leslie Y.

    I was impressed by their sliders last time, and I am surprised that their bulgogi steak sandwich is even better. There is a perfect balance among the delicately shaved carrot and daikon slices and well-marinated grilled meat. That's topped off with a generous amount of cilantro, and the mysterious dipping sauce is even better than icing on the cake. NK shares the same staff with Pure Bowl, but they do a good job shuttling between the two registers. I can imagine it can get pretty hectic at times. The dining area was clean and the furniture very comfortable. Having a bony butt, I appreciate a cushioned seating surface.

I've tried almost everything on the menu over the years, from orange chicken to the short ribs, and most dishes are delicious. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing family-style, especially with larger groups. They've always handled big parties well, though I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time since they can get busy. The ambiance is probably the one area that could use some improvement, but the food and portions more than make up for it. If it's your first time, I'd recommend the chicken corn soup, sweet and sour chicken, green onion paratha, and Mongolian beef.

There were pieces of beef in the rice that were dried out and had a bad taste as if food stored in a freezer the quickly thawed. Overall it was a huge disappointment. Gross, dirty.

Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

    KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary
