This was my first time here.Nguyen has amazing chicken wings. I wasn't impressed with the garlic noodles, mine were very dry I didn't taste any garlic or butter but chicken on top was good as well. The green sauce was spicy I'm glad I didn't put it on everything. I'm not sure if this is just how they make it every-time but I would like to taste more butter or garlic. ( I did already eat from the food in picture) read more

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. read more

Came here on a friday night. The place shares a store with pur bowls. We ordered garlic noodles with shrimp, garlic fries, and bulgogi bahn mi. The garlic noodles with shrimp was the best dish of the ones we ordered. It was flavorful and super garlicky. The shrimp skin was super crispy as well. The bulgogi bahn mi was great. Tons of flavor in the meat but the only thing is i wish it had more veggies in it like some lettuce or something. The garlic fries were meh. If you got some of the garlic bits with your fries they were good but the other ones didnt really have much flavor. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Bulgogi sandwich - devoured half immediately! So good! - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

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. read more

Super consistent but corporate and slightly expensive. Ask for the green sauce. It's amazing and takes it to a whole new level... I could literally drink it. Also, the wings are impeccable, so crunchy and juicy. read more

Starting with the food, I'm not sure if I should describe this place as a boba shop that serves food? Or a food place that serves Açaí , etc? Well, they do both! We had the food and loved it. I had the grilled pork sandwich and was impressed! The bun was crispy outside just like a banh mi sandwich. Inside was sauce, cilantro , carrots and daikon and that sweet tasty meat. The wife had garlic noodles... everything was yummy! There really isn't much room in this place so if they are busy, be ready for takeout. Parking is also a hassle because it is right next to a very busy Trader Joe's. Plenty of parking ... just VERY busy!! No ambiance to speak of, plain, simple, and clean. We will return PS with a name like "Nguyen" you'd think Vietnamese food like pho? Nope. Viet fusion would be a better description... and No Pho on the menu read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here because the pictures on their Yelp make their food look delicious. It's a cool front that does food food, and Acai bowls. The workers were super nice, and the place was clean. Golden Bao - I could survive off these. These were delicious. Packed with flavor. Fried. Mmm. Garlic pasta with chicken, and the steak sandwich - these lacked flavor for me. These felt like a quick 5 minute lunch you at make at home. They weren't bad, just lacked a bit of flavoring. Very very basic taste. Added some flavor by dipping the brown golden bao sauce on the sandwich is it was pretty good! read more

Checking out the new Nguyen's Kitchen. Ordered the bulgogi sandwich, garlic noodles with pork, and a Thai tea. They have comfortable seating inside and a small outdoor seating area as well. The Thai tea was very good, on the top end of the spectrum for Thai teas in Long Beach. The bulgogi sandwich was good, but missing a little something in terms of flavor. It needed a good pickle or something acidic to offset the richness of the meat. With the green sauce poured on it was better. Last but not least, the garlic noodles with pork were very good and definitely something I would have again. This location also has a Pur bowls on site for your acai fix. read more

Came here this evening with my family. It was late and the place was empty. Once we started ordering it filled up. Ashley, the gal behind the counter was SO friendly and gave excellent service to everyone there. She quickly and happily managed a pretty big line. Pick up orders coming in as well as taking orders, filling drinks, and informing people about the menu. Food arrived quickly and was delicious! We got noodles, bulgogi Salad, rice bowls, drinks, and sliders. All was awesome. Our family had a great time. It was brightly lit and very clean inside. Will definitely be back. Thanks so much Ashley for the great experience! read more

I was able to attend the YELP Event at the Sports Basement in Long Beach. Nguyen's Kitchen represented well with a very tasty beef and garlic noodles sample size.

Stopped by for dinner and got the Garlic noodles with grilled pork and an egg, added sriracha. I thought it would already be cooked in the garlic but you have to add your own. They give you a garlic aioli to add to your noodles. I'm not an aioli fan, so I just went with sriracha. It was still pretty good, but not as seasoned as it could've been. The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more
